Company estimates that IAM strike affected third-quarter results by $0.25-$0.30 per share. Third-quarter 2004 EPS includes a $0.02 per share gain from sale of Boeing Capital's commercial finance operations, a $0.04 per share charge for retirement of $1 billion of BCC debt, and a $0.14 per share benefit from tax settlements/adjustments. The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA) today reported that third-quarter 2005 net income increased to $1,011 million, or $1.26 per share, compared with $456 million, or $0.56 per share in the year-ago quarter. Third-quarter revenues declined to $12.6 billion from $13.2 billion last year. Earnings for the quarter include a $0.62 per share benefit from tax settlements and adjustments. The company estimates that the month-long International Association of Machinists (IAM) strike caused 21 fewer airplane deliveries in the quarter and reduced results by $0.25 to $0.30 per share. "Our third-quarter results and our increase in guidance underscore our operating strength," said Jim McNerney, Boeing chairman and chief executive officer. "Although we faced some challenges this quarter, Commercial Airplanes continued its tremendous sales success, completed firm configuration of the 787 Dreamliner, and reached an agreement with the IAM that supports continued growth and competitiveness. At the same time, Integrated Defense Systems delivered strong margins while achieving key milestones on leading-edge programs such as Future Combat Systems. Across Boeing, we are focused on executing our growth plans and improving our margins." Results for the quarter include a previously-disclosed $0.45 per share gain on the sale of Rocketdyne, and a non-cash charge of $0.14 per share for post-retirement expense related to the Wichita/Tulsa sale. The company also booked an additional $0.06 per share in share based plans expense to reflect a cumulative adjustment. The company's third-quarter earnings from operations increased 49 percent to $0.8 billion (see Table 2) as strong business unit operating performance offset higher non-cash expenses for pensions and share-based plans. Table 2. Earnings from Operations & Margins 3rd Quarter % Nine Months % (Millions, except margin 2005 2004 Change 2005 2004 Change percent) Earnings from Operations $763 $511 49% $2,268 $1,979 15% Operating Margin 6.0% 3.9% 2.1 Pts 5.6% 5.1% 0.5 Pts Pre-tax (non-cash) pension expense was $396 million, up $332 million or $0.26 per share from the same period of 2004. This includes a pre-tax, non-cash pension charge of $250 million from the sale of the company's Wichita and Tulsa operations. Share-based-plans expense was $246 million, up $80 million or $0.06 per share from the same period of 2004. Deferred stock compensation expense was $37 million, or $0.03 per share, as Boeing's stock price increased during the period. Boeing generated $0.5 billion of operating cash flow during the third quarter driven by strong performance in its core businesses and $537 million in cash and interest from a tax audit settlement, which more than offset the impact of the IAM strike and $1.4 billion in discretionary pension contributions. Free cash flow* was $0.2 billion for the quarter after investment of $0.3 billion in property, plant & equipment (Table 3). Table 3.

The corresponding year-to-date pension contributions for 2005 and 2004 are $1.8 billion and $3.6 billion, respectively. * A complete definition and discussion of Boeing's use of non-GAAP measures, identified by an asterisk (*), is attached at the end of the release. Cash and investments in marketable securities totaled $7.5 billion, down from $7.9 billion at the end of the second quarter. This reflected the ongoing share repurchase program, pension plan contributions, and planned investment increases in Boeing's core businesses, offset by strong operating cash flows and cash received from the Rocketdyne sale. The company repurchased 13.7 million shares during the quarter for $904 million, leaving 37 million shares available under the existing repurchase authorization. The company made a discretionary contribution of $1.4 billion to its pension plans during the quarter, bringing total 2005 contributions to $1.8 billion. The Boeing Company debt was unchanged at $3.9 billion as no debt matured during the quarter. Boeing Capital debt declined slightly to $6.4 billion as strong operating cash flow eliminated the need for new financing. Table 4.

Segment Results Commercial Airplanes Boeing Commercial Airplanes (BCA) continued winning key customer orders during the third quarter while aggressively managing for profitability and investing for long-term growth. It won 202 gross orders from a broad range of customers, launched the 737-900 Extended Range with an order from Lion Air, and completed firm configuration for the 787 Dreamliner. To date, the 787 has captured orders and commitments from 24 customers for 293 airplanes since its launch, including 194 firm orders and additional commitments for 99 airplanes. Commercial Airplanes generated $4.9 billion of revenue, up 6 percent from the third quarter of 2004 on higher used aircraft sales, favorable model mix, and spares revenue. BCA delivered 62 airplanes in the quarter, 21 fewer than planned due to the month-long IAM strike. Operating margins were 4.8 percent, up from the third quarter of 2004 reflecting continued productivity gains and higher revenues that were partially offset by the strike. BCA results are shown in Table 5. Table 5.

BCA contractual backlog jumped 13 percent to $98.1 billion, up from $86.7 billion at the end of the second quarter. Commercial Airplanes' backlog has increased 39 percent during 2005. Integrated Defense Systems Integrated Defense Systems (IDS) had another strong quarter delivering 19 aircraft and capturing follow-on orders for Apache helicopters and the Joint Unmanned Combat Air System. IDS successfully passed the Future Combat Systems (FCS) System of Systems Functional Review and the TSAT Interim Space Segment Design Review. IDS reported third-quarter operating margins of 17.7 percent, up from 9.9 percent in the same period of 2004, as a result of double-digit performance in the Aircraft & Weapons Systems and Support Systems segments along with the Rocketdyne sale. Revenues decreased 11 percent to $7.4 billion due to timing and mix of aircraft deliveries, lower volume in Proprietary and Missile Defense, and the Rocketdyne divestiture. IDS results are summarized in Table 6. Table 6. Integrated Defense Systems Operating Results (Millions, except 3rd Quarter % Nine Months % margin percent) 2005 2004 Change 2005 2004 Change Revenues Network Systems $2,737 $3,179 (14%) $8,374 $8,279 1% Aircraft and Weapon Systems $2,574 $3,074 (16%) $8,345 $8,767 (5%) Support Systems $1,401 $1,184 18% $3,754 $3,490 8% Launch and Orbital Systems $669 $822 (19%) $2,193 $2,302 (5%) Total IDS Revenues $7,381 $8,259 (11%) $22,666 $22,838 (1%) Earnings (Loss) from Operations Network Systems $93 $298 (69%) $473 $693 (32%) Aircraft and Weapon Systems $385 $483 (20%) $1,196 $1,345 (11%) Support Systems $192 $188 2% $540 $478 13% Launch and Orbital Systems $633 ($153) N.M. $757 ($266) N.M. Total IDS Earnings (Loss) from Operations $1,303 $816 60% $2,966 $2,250 32% Operating Margins 17.7% 9.9% 7.8 Pts 13.1% 9.9% 3.2 Pts During the quarter, IDS completed the sale of its Rocketdyne operations to United Technologies for $700 million in cash and the establishment of long-term supply agreements. That resulted in a pre-tax gain of $582 million, of which $573 million was recognized in Launch & Orbital Systems and $9 million was recorded in the Other segment. The sale will also produce an additional pre-tax, non-cash charge of approximately $190 million in the Other segment during the fourth quarter of 2005 related to the curtailment and settlement of post-retirement plans and the transfer of post-retirement liabilities. Excluding the Rocketdyne sale, the IDS third-quarter operating margin was 9.9 percent. Network Systems revenues declined 14 percent to $2.7 billion on lower volume in Proprietary programs, Ground-based Midcourse Defense and a military satellite program, partially offset by increased activity in Future Combat Systems and the Multi-mission Maritime Aircraft program. Operating margins decreased to 3.4 percent, as higher earnings for FCS and MMA were offset by revised cost and fee estimates on the Future Imagery Architecture program and a military satellite program. Aircraft & Weapon Systems delivered excellent profitability in the third quarter. Revenues declined 16 percent to $2.6 billion primarily due to the delivery and timing mix of C-17 and other aircraft. Operating margins were 15.0 percent driven by strong performance across key programs including C-17, F/A-18 and Rotorcraft. Support Systems generated strong growth and profitability on its broad business base during the third quarter. Revenues rose 18 percent to $1.4 billion driven by increased volume in Integrated Support Services for F-15K, C-17 and V-22, as well as higher revenues in Training & Support Systems. Operating margins were 13.7 percent, down from the same period in 2004 which benefited from higher contract closeout activity in Supply Chain Services and Training & Support Systems. Launch and Orbital Systems continued to improve its margin performance during the third quarter. Revenues declined 19 percent to $0.7 billion driven by the sale of Rocketdyne and reduced NASA Return-to-Flight activity. Operating margins rose to 94.6 percent due to the gain on the sale of Rocketdyne as well as improved satellite program performance and higher contract values for Delta IV launch contracts. Without the sale of Rocketdyne, the segment would have had operating margins of 9.0 percent. At the end of the third quarter, IDS contractual backlog totaled $35.5 billion, down from $41.0 billion at the end of the second quarter. Unobligated backlog grew to $42.9 billion at the end of the third quarter. Total IDS backlog, comprised of contractual and unobligated, was $78.4 billion compared with $82.1 billion at the end of the second quarter. Boeing Capital Corporation Boeing Capital Corporation (BCC) continued to support the operations of Boeing's business units and reduce portfolio risk. Revenues for the third quarter declined 9 percent to $230 million, and pre-tax income declined to $28 million, due to a smaller portfolio and one-time gains recognized in 2004 which are absent in the same period of 2005. BCC results are summarized in Table 7. Table 7. Boeing Capital Corporation Operating Results 3rd Quarter % Nine Months % (Millions) 2005 2004 Change 2005 2004 Change Revenues (1) $230 $253 (9%) $728 $733 (1%) Pre-Tax Income (Loss)(1) $28 $60 (53%) $192 $148 30% Discontinued Operations (After-Tax) ($2) $18 (111%) ($7) $48 (115%) (1) 2004 excludes discontinued operations from the sale of BCC's commercial finance unit. BCC's quarter-end portfolio balance was $9.2 billion, down from $9.4 billion at the end of the second quarter as normal portfolio run-off and depreciation was partially offset by new business volume. BCC contributed $58 million in cash dividends to the company during the quarter, while maintaining leverage at a conservative 4.8-to-1, as measured by the ratio of debt-to-equity. "Other" Segment The "Other" segment consists primarily of Boeing Technology and Connexion by Boeing(SM), as well as certain results related to the consolidation of all business units. For the third quarter, losses from operations were $97 million, compared to $145 million in the third quarter of 2004. Connexion by Boeing(SM) expanded its global reach by approximately 20 percent during the quarter and is now operational on more than 80 commercial aircraft which provide service on more than 120 daily flights. Outlook The company is updating its outlook to reflect continued strong performance across its core businesses in 2005 followed in 2006 by higher BCA deliveries, revenues and earnings, and lower revenue growth at Integrated Defense Systems (see Table 8). The updated outlook also includes the impact of the sales of Wichita/Tulsa and Rocketdyne operations (which together reduce revenues and increase earnings in 2005 and 2006) and the impact of the IAM strike. The guidance does not include the impact of the proposed United Launch Alliance (ULA) transaction, which is expected to reduce 2006 revenues due to a shift to equity-method accounting once the joint venture is completed. Beginning in 2006, BCA will change its method of accounting for supplier concession sharing agreements. It will no longer record concession reimbursements received from suppliers as "Sales and other operating revenues." Instead those will be reflected as a reduction to "Cost of products and services." This accounting change will reduce BCA revenue in 2006 by approximately $1.5 to $2.0 billion, but will have only a nominal impact on operating earnings. The impact of this accounting change will be included in 2006 guidance coincident with the change in accounting method. The airline industry environment remains mixed with trends varying between carriers and regions. The global economy and air traffic trends are strengthening and interest from airlines in adding capacity to handle higher traffic volume is increasing. Many low-cost carriers and international airlines are profitable and are ordering new airplanes. However, higher fuel prices continue dampening airline profits, particularly in the United States. Commercial Airplanes is experiencing increased demand for aircraft across all models as airline passengers continue to value frequent, direct routes and airlines focus on reducing costs. The company now expects to deliver approximately 290 airplanes during 2005, down from our previous estimate of 320 due to the IAM strike, but up from 285 deliveries last year. The 2006 delivery forecast remains at approximately 395 airplanes, an increase of 36 percent from this year. Airplane deliveries in 2007 are expected to be above the 2006 level. The 2006 forecast reflects an orderly production restart and disciplined ramp up throughout the value chain to support continued growth in demand through the up-cycle. This approach will enable Boeing to meet its commitments and continue its productivity gains. The 2005 delivery forecast is sold out while 2006's is now 93 percent sold out. Defense and intelligence markets are expected to remain solid in 2005 and 2006 as U.S. defense budgets are expected to grow modestly. The company expects its defense and non-commercial space businesses to continue performing well in stable markets, generating double-digit margins. IDS anticipates stable growth with high single-digit margins in its Network Systems segment and stable growth with low double-digit margins in its Aircraft & Weapon Systems segment. IDS expects strong growth in Support Systems with low double-digit margins, while Launch and Orbital Systems revenue is expected to remain stable (excluding the impact of the planned ULA joint venture) with low single-digit margins. The company's 2005 revenue outlook is reduced to approximately $55.5 billion reflecting the impact of the IAM strike and slower growth at IDS. Revenue guidance for 2006 remains at $62 billion reflecting higher commercial airplane deliveries and revenues offset by the sale of Rocketdyne, and slower revenue growth at IDS. Earnings per share guidance for 2005 is being raised to between $2.95 and $3.05 per share, from between $2.75 and $2.85 per share. The company is also raising its EPS guidance for 2006 to between $3.10 and $3.30 per share, up from $3.00 to $3.20 per share primarily due to a higher margin forecast at BCA. The company annually updates its estimate of future pension expenses based on plan actuarial factors, including its pension discount rate, at the end of the plan's fiscal year on September 30. For the plan year ending September 30, 2005, Boeing's pension asset returns exceeded 14 percent, well above the company's 8.5 percent expected rate of return. However, since long-term interest rates have fallen during the past year, the discount rate for 2006 will be 5.50 percent, down from the 5.75 percent rate established for 2005, bringing 2006 estimated pre-tax pension expense to approximately $1.0 billion. The company now expects operating cash flow for 2005 to be greater than $7.0 billion, up from greater than $6.0 billion. The increase reflects stronger-than-expected commercial airplane orders and the tax refund, offset somewhat by higher pension contributions (totaling $1.8 billion for 2005) and the impact of the IAM strike. Operating cash flow in 2006 is expected to be greater than $5.5 billion, after $500 million of expected pension contributions. The company will continue to evaluate making additional discretionary payments to its pension plans. Capital expenditures in 2005 should be approximately $1.5 billion and expenditures in 2006 are expected to be approximately $1.7 billion. Research and development investment is expected to be between $2.3 billion and $2.5 billion this year, and between $2.5 billion and $2.7 billion in 2006, reflecting investment increases on planned BCA product development programs.

(2) 2005 Outlook impacted by IAM strike (estimated 30 fewer airplane deliveries in 2005). (3) Launch and Orbital Systems' 2005 margin reflects the sale of Rocketdyne, which closed in the third quarter and generated a pre-tax gain of approximately $582 million in the third quarter, mostly in the L&OS segment. Offsetting pre-tax charges totaling approximately $190 million are expected to be recorded in the fourth quarter, primarily in Accounting Differences and Eliminations, bringing the total expected pre-tax gain for the Rocketdyne sale to approximately $390 million. Non-GAAP Measure Disclosure The following definition is provided for free cash flow, a non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measure (indicated by an asterisk *) used by the company within this disclosure. The company does not intend for the information to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measure. Other companies may define the measure differently. Free Cash Flow Free cash flow is defined as GAAP operating cash flow less capital expenditures for property, plant, and equipment, additions. Management believes free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available for shareholders, debt repayment, and acquisitions after making the capital investments required to support ongoing business operations and long term value creation. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures as it excludes certain mandatory expenditures such as repayment of maturing debt. Management uses free cash flow internally to assess both business performance and overall liquidity. Table 3 provides a reconciliation between GAAP operating cash flow and free cash flow.
