“We derive a substantial portion of our revenue from the U.S. government, primarily from defense related programs with the United States Department of War (DoW) and contracts with other government agencies, including NASA. Levels of U.S. defense spending are very difficult to predict and may be impacted by numerous factors such as the evolving nature of the national security threat environment, U.S. national security strategy, U.S. foreign policy, the domestic political environment, macroeconomic conditions and the ability of the U.S. government to enact relevant legislation such as authorization and appropriations bills.”

Annual report 2025A · The company itself

“The timeliness of annual appropriations for U.S. government departments and agencies remains a recurrent risk. Congress may fund government departments and agencies with one or more continuing resolutions, which could delay new programs or competitions and/or negatively impact the execution of certain program activities. A lapse in appropriations for government departments or agencies would result in a full or partial government shutdown, which could impact our operations.”

Annual report 2025A · The company itself

“In addition, there continues to be uncertainty with respect to future acquisition priorities and program-level appropriations for the DoW, NASA and other government agencies, including changes to national security and defense priorities, and tension between modernization investments, sustainment investments, and investments in new technologies or emergent capabilities. Future investment priority changes or budget cuts, including changes associated with the authorizations and appropriations process, could result in reductions, cancellations, and/or delays of existing contracts or programs or 8 Table of Contents future program opportunities.”

“The U.S. government may modify, curtail or terminate one or more of our contracts. The U.S. government contracting party may modify, curtail or terminate its contracts and subcontracts with us, without prior notice and either at its convenience or for default based on performance. In addition, funding pursuant to our U.S. government contracts may be reduced or withheld as part of the U.S. Congressional appropriations process due to changes in U.S. national security strategy and/or priorities, fiscal constraints, including enforceable spending caps, a sequester or a lack of funding available to pay incurred obligations, or for other reasons.”

“In our BDS business, we anticipate that the effects of defense industry consolidation, shifting acquisition and budget priorities, the entry and growth of private capital-backed and other non-traditional defense companies, and continued cost pressure at our DoW and non-U.S. customers will intensify competition for many of our BDS products.”

Annual report 2025A · The company itself

“When our estimated costs exceed our estimated price, we recognize reach-forward losses which can significantly affect our reported results. For example, during 2024, BDS recorded $5.0 billion of additional losses on its five most significant fixed-price development programs (KC-46A Tanker, T-7A Red Hawk, Commercial Crew, VC-25B Presidential Aircraft, and MQ-25), which also affect cash flows in future periods.”

“Global Services sustains aerospace platforms and systems with a full spectrum of products and services, including supply chain and logistics management, engineering, maintenance and modifications, upgrades and conversions, spare parts, pilot and maintenance training systems and services, technical and maintenance documents, and digital solutions and analytics.”

Annual report 2025A · The company itself

“We enter into firm fixed-price aircraft sales contracts with indexed price escalation clauses, which subjects us to losses if we have cost overruns or if increases in our costs exceed the applicable escalation rate. Commercial aircraft sales contracts are typically entered into years before the aircraft are delivered. In order to help account for economic fluctuations between the contract date and delivery date, aircraft pricing generally consists of a fixed amount as modified by price escalation formulas derived from labor, commodity and other price indices.”

Annual report 2025A · The company itself

“The commercial aircraft business is extremely complex, involving extensive coordination and integration with suppliers, highly-skilled labor performed by thousands of employees, and stringent and evolving regulatory requirements and performance and reliability standards. As a result, our ability to deliver aircraft on time, satisfy regulatory and customer requirements, and achieve or maintain, as applicable, program profitability is subject to significant risks. The introduction of new aircraft programs and/or derivatives, such as the 777X, 737-7 and 737-10, takes years and involves significant risks associated with meeting development, testing, certification, and production schedules.”

Annual report 2025A · The company itself

“For example, the 777X program, which launched in 2013 and is currently expecting first delivery in 2027, recognized additional reach-forward losses of $4.9 billion and $3.5 billion in 2025 and 2024, primarily due to production challenges, certification and delivery delays, and higher estimated labor and supplier costs.”

Annual report 2025A · The company itself

“These plans include increasing the 737 production rate to 47 per month in 2026, as well as further production rate increases that will require a new production line. There is risk that planned production rate increases may be delayed or not occur at all if our production health key performance indicators and rate readiness process guided by our Safety Management System do not support increasing production rates or we are unable to obtain FAA concurrence.”

Annual report 2025A · The company itself

“We rely on other companies, including U.S. and non-U.S. subcontractors and suppliers, to provide and produce raw materials, integrated components and sub-assemblies, and production commodities and to perform some of the services that we provide to our customers. Many of our suppliers are experiencing inflationary pressures, as well as resource constraints and disruptions due to production quality issues, global supply chain constraints, and labor instability.”

“During 2024, employees represented by International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) District 751, which represents over 30,000 Boeing manufacturing employees primarily located in Washington state, went out on strike for 53 days, halting production of most of our commercial aircraft and certain of our Defense, Space & Security products, and materially adversely impacting our business and financial position.”

Annual report 2025A · The company itself

“During 2025, employees represented by IAM District 837, which represents approximately 3,200 employees at our St. Louis area sites, went out on strike for 101 days, disrupting our St. Louis operations and impacting programs including F/A-18, F-15, T-7A, MQ-25 and Weapons.”

“Estimating the costs, including labor costs, and time for us and our suppliers to complete fixed-price development and follow-on production contracts is inherently uncertain and subject to significant variability as a result of highly complex designs and technical requirements as well as extended periods of performance. This uncertainty requires us to make significant judgments and assumptions about future operational and technical performance.”
