The Boeing Company and Subsidiaries
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in millions, except per share data)
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements included in this report have been prepared by management of The Boeing Company (herein referred to as “Boeing”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation are reflected in the interim financial statements. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements, including the notes thereto, included in our 20152016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation.
Standards Issued and Not Yet Implemented
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016 - 02, Leases (Topic 842). The new standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The standard will require lessees to report most leases as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet, while lessor accounting will remain substantially unchanged. The standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for existing leases, whereby the new rules will be applied to the earliest year presented. We do not expect the new lease standard to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2014, the FASB issuedWe plan to implement ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The new standard was originally effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption was not permitted. On August 12, 2015,in the FASB approved a one year delayfirst quarter of the effective date to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, while permitting companies to voluntarily adopt the new standard as of the original effective date. The2018. This comprehensive new standard will supersede existing revenue recognition guidance and require revenue to be recognized when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Adoption of the new rules could affect the timing ofThe standard also requires expanded disclosures regarding revenue recognition for certain transactions.and contracts with customers. The guidance permits two implementation approaches, one requiring retrospective application of the new standard with restatement of prior years and one requiring prospective application of the new standard with disclosure of results under old standards. The Company plans to adopt the new standard effective January 1, 2018 and is continuingapply it retrospectively to evaluateall periods presented.
We are analyzing the impact of the new standard on the Company’s revenue contracts, comparing our current accounting policies and practices to the requirements of the new standard, and identifying potential differences that would result from applying the new standard to our contracts. We are also identifying and implementing changes to the Company’s business processes, systems and controls to support adoption of the new standard in 2018 and recasting prior periods’ financial information.
We expect adoption of the new standard will have a material impact on our income statement and balance sheet but are unable to quantify those impacts at this time. We currently expect that most of adoption andour Defense, Space & Security (BDS) contracts that currently recognize revenue as deliveries are made or based on the implementation approach to be used.
Standards Issued and Implemented
In March 2016,attainment of performance milestones will recognize revenue under the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.new standard as costs are incurred. Certain military derivative aircraft contracts in our Commercial Airplane business will also recognize revenue as costs are incurred. The new standard will not change the total amount of revenue recognized on these contracts, only accelerate the timing of when the revenue is effectiverecognized. We expect a corresponding acceleration in timing of cost of sales recognition for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016these contracts resulting in a decrease in Inventories from long-term contracts in progress upon adoption of the new standard.
We do not expect the new standard to affect revenue recognition or the use of program accounting for commercial airplane contracts in our Commercial Airplane business. We will continue to recognize revenue for these contracts at the point in time when the customer accepts delivery of the airplane.
From a balance sheet perspective we expect adoption of the new standard will increase Total Assets and early adoption is permitted. The standard requires excess tax benefits or deficiencies for share-based payments to be recorded in the period shares vest or settle as income tax expense or benefit, rather than within Additional paid-in capital. Cash flows related to excess tax benefits will be included in Cash provided by operating activities andTotal Liabilities because netting of advances from customers against inventory will no longer be separately classified as a financing activity. The standard also allows us to repurchase more of an employee’s shares for tax withholding purposes and provides an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. We have elected to continue to estimate forfeitures and are not planning to change tax withholdings.permitted.
The Company prospectively adopted the standard during the three months ended June 30, 2016 effective January 1, 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, this resulted
This will result in an increase in the Advances liability and Inventories from commercial aircraft programs upon adoption of $54 to Net earnings and $0.08 to diluted earnings per share and for the three months ended June 30, 2016, a decrease of $54 to Net loss and $0.08 to diluted loss per share. Adoption also resulted in a $54 increase in Net cash provided

by operating activities and a corresponding $54 reduction in Net cash used by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

new standard.
Use of Estimates
Management makes assumptions and estimates to prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Those assumptions and estimates directly affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Significant estimates for which changes in the near term are considered reasonably possible and that may have a material impact on the financial statements are disclosed in these Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Contract accounting is used for development and production activities predominantly by Defense, Space & Security (BDS).BDS. Contract accounting involves a judgmental process of estimating total sales and costs for each contract resulting in the development of estimated cost of sales percentages. Changes in estimated revenues, cost of sales and the related effect on operating income are recognized using a cumulative catch-up adjustment which recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods based on a contract’s percent complete. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, net unfavorableNet cumulative catch-up adjustments to prior years' earnings, including reach-forward losses, across all contracts decreased Earnings from operations by $587 and $594 and diluted earnings per share by $0.70 and $0.58. For the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, net unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments, including reach-forward losses, across all contracts decreased Earnings from operations by $503 and $724 and diluted earnings per share by $0.39 and $0.71.were as follows:

Note 2 – Earnings Per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation method that determines earnings per share for common shares and participating securities. The undistributed earnings are allocated between common shares and participating securities as if all earnings had been distributed during the period. Participating securities and common shares have equal rights to undistributed earnings.
Basic earnings per share is calculated by taking net earnings, less earnings available to participating securities, divided by the basic weighted average common shares outstanding.
Diluted earnings per share is calculated by taking net earnings, less earnings available to participating securities, divided by the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.

The elements used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings/(loss)earnings per share were as follows:

Note 3 – Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rates were 21.9%25.9% and 51.1%30.0% for the six and three months ended June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and 31.5% and 31.6% for the same periods in the prior year. The year over year tax rate variances are primarily due to lower pre-tax income in 2016. The 2016 year-to-date income tax expense reflects an estimated annual effective tax rate of 27.2% excluding discrete tax benefits of $66 that have been recorded through the second quarter of 2016. The effective tax rate for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 is lower than the comparable prior year period primarily due to lower projected pre-tax income in 2016 and the favorable impact of the permanent reinstatement of the U.S. research and development tax credit at the end of 2015. Thehigher discrete tax benefits of $66 include a $54 benefit from adopting ASU No. 2016-09 “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accountingin the three months ended June 30, 2016.

On July 5, 2016, the Joint Committee on Taxation completed its reviewfirst quarter of our federal income taxes for the 2011-20122017. The increase in discrete tax years and as a result,benefits was primarily driven by excess tax benefits from share-based paymentsattributable to increases in the third quartercompany’s stock price, in combination with the annual vesting of 2016, we expect to record tax benefits of approximately $180restricted stock units and reduce unrecognized tax benefits by approximately $220. We remain subject to federalperformance-based restricted stock units and higher stock option exercises.
Federal income tax audits have been settled for all years prior to 2013. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) began the 2013 to 20152013-2014 federal tax years.audit in the fourth quarter of 2016. We are also subject to examination in major state and international jurisdictions for the 2001-20152001-2016 tax years. We believe appropriate provisions for all outstanding tax issues have been made for all jurisdictions and all open years.

Long-Term Contracts in Progress
Long-term contracts in progress includes Delta launch program inventory that is being sold at cost to United Launch Alliance (ULA) under an inventory supply agreement that terminates on March 31, 2021. The inventory balance was $120 (net of advances of $276)$192 and $120 (net of advances of $310)$220) at June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015. At June 30, 2016, $176 of this inventory related2016. See indemnifications to unsold launches. SeeULA in Note 9.
Included in inventories are capitalized precontract costs of $1,561$728 and $732$729 primarily related to KC-46A Tanker and C-17 at June 30, 2016 March 31, 2017andDecember 31, 2015.2016.
Commercial Aircraft Programs
At June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015,2016, commercial aircraft programs inventory included the following amounts related to the 787 program: $34,123$32,374 and $34,656$32,501 of work in process (including deferred production costs of $27,673$26,992 and $28,510)$27,308), $2,412$2,525 and $2,551$2,398 of supplier advances, and $3,707$3,581 and $3,890$3,625 of unamortized tooling and other non-recurring costs. At June 30, 2016, $22,966March 31, 2017, $23,606 of 787 deferred production costs, unamortized tooling and other non-recurring costs are expected to be recovered from units included in the program accounting quantity that have firm orders and $8,414$6,967 is expected to be recovered from units included in the program accounting quantity that represent expected future orders.
We produced the fourth and fifth flight test aircraft for the 787 program in 2009 but have been unable to sell them at acceptable prices. The aircraft have been used extensively for flight and ground testing and we intended to begin to refurbish the aircraft in earlyAt March 31, 2017 for commercial sale based on sales activity and market interest. However, during the second quarter of 2016 we determined that firm orders for these aircraft prior to refurbishment were now unlikely, and that the Company would not invest company funds for their refurbishment. The Company also determined the costs to refurbish the aircraft at a future date would be prohibitively expensive. We have therefore determined that the aircraft are not commercially saleable, and accordingly, costs of $1,235 associated with these aircraft were reclassified from 787 program inventory to research and development expense. The reclassification also impacted 787 deferred production costs, reducing the balance by $1,011 at June 30, 2016.

At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015,2016, commercial aircraft programs inventory included the following amounts$275 and $284 of unamortized tooling costs related to the 747 program: $0 and $942 of deferred production costs, net of reach-forward losses, and $369 and $377 of unamortized tooling costs.program. At June 30, 2016, $173March 31, 2017, $209 of unamortized tooling costs are expected to be recovered from units included in the program accounting quantity that have firm orders and $196$66 is expected to be recovered from units included in the program accounting quantity that represent expected future orders. At June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015,2016, work in process inventory included a number of completed 747 aircraft that we expect to recover from future orders.
Commercial aircraft programs inventory included amounts credited in cash or other consideration (early issue sales consideration) to airline customers totaling $3,217$3,139 and $3,166$3,117 at June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015.2016.
Used aircraft in inventories at Commercial Airplanes totaled $321 and $267 at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.

We determine a receivable is impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect amounts due according to the original contractual terms. At June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 20152016, we individually evaluated for impairment customer financing receivables of $89$57 and $86. At June 30, 2016$55, of which $46 and December 31, 2015, $48 and $0 was$44 were determined to be impaired. We recorded no allowance for losses on these impaired receivables as the collateral values exceeded the carrying values of the receivables.
The adequacy of the allowance for losses is assessed quarterly. Three primary factors influencing the level of our allowance for losses on customer financing receivables are customer credit ratings, default rates and collateral values. We assign internal credit ratings for all customers and determine the creditworthiness of each customer based upon publicly available information and information obtained directly from our customers. Our rating categories are comparable to those used by the major credit rating agencies.

Our financing receivable balances by internal credit rating category are shown below:

At June 30, 2016March 31, 2017, our allowance related to receivables with ratings of B, BB and BBB. We applied default rates that averaged 13%17.6%, 9%8.5% and 1%1.1%, respectively, to the exposure associated with those receivables.
Customer Financing Exposure
Customer financing is collateralized by security in the related asset. The value of the collateral is closely tied to commercial airline performance and overall market conditions and may be subject to reduced valuation with market decline. Declines in collateral values are also a significant driver of ourcould result in asset impairments, reduced finance lease income, and an increase in the allowance for losses. Our customer financing collateral is concentrated in 747-8 and out-of-production aircraft. Generally, out-of-production aircraft have experienced greater collateral value declines than in-production aircraft. Our customer financing portfolio is primarily collateralized by out-of-production aircraft.

The majority of customer financing carrying values are concentrated in the following aircraft models:

Note 7 – Other Assets
Sea Launch
At June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015,2016, Other assets included $356 of receivables related to our former investment in the Sea Launch venture which became payable by certain Sea Launch partners following Sea Launch’s bankruptcy filing in June 2009. The $356 includes $147 related to a payment made by us under a bank guarantee on behalf of Sea Launch and $209 related to loans (partner loans) we made to Sea Launch. The net amounts owed to Boeing by each of the partners are as follows: S.P. Koroley Rocket and Space Corporation Energia of Russia (RSC Energia) – $223, PO Yuzhnoye Mashinostroitelny Zavod of Ukraine – $89 and KB Yuzhnoye of Ukraine – $44.
Although each partner is contractually obligated to reimburse us for its share of the bank guarantee, the Russian and Ukrainian partners have raised defenses to enforcement and contested our claims. On February 1, 2013, we filed an action in the United States District Court for the Central District of California seeking reimbursement from the other Sea Launch partners of the $147 bank guarantee payment and the $209 partner loan obligations. On May 12, 2016, the court issued a judgment in favor of Boeing relating to the bank guarantee payment and the partner loan obligations. Prior
In December 2016, we reached an agreement which we believe will enable us to these proceedings, we had filed a Noticerecover the outstanding receivable balance from RSC Energia over the next several years. The agreement was subject to certain contingencies which were resolved during the first quarter of Arbitration2017. We continue to pursue collection efforts against the former Ukrainian partners in connection with the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce seeking reimbursement from the other partners for a portion of these amounts. On May 16, 2016, the appellate court in Sweden dismissed the Swedish proceedings at our request.
We have initiated collection effortsjudgment and continue to believe the partners have the financial wherewithal to pay and intend to pursue vigorously all of our rights and remedies. In the event we are unable to secure reimbursement of $147 related to our payment underfrom the bank guarantee and $209 related to partner loans made to Sea Launch partners, we could incur additional charges. Our current assessment as to the collectability of these receivables takes into account the current economic conditions in Russia and Ukraine, although we will continue to monitor the situation.

Spirit AeroSystems
As of June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015,2016, Other assets included $140$143 of receivables related to indemnifications from Spirit AeroSystems, Inc. (Spirit), for costs incurred related to pension and retiree medical obligations of former Boeing employees that were subsequently employed by Spirit. During the fourth quarter of 2014, Boeing filed a complaint against Spirit in Delaware Superior Court seeking to enforce our rights to indemnification and to recover from Spirit amounts incurred by Boeing for pension and retiree medical obligations. On March 22, 2017 the court held oral argument on the cross motions for summary judgment and is expected to issue a ruling during the second quarter. We expect to fully recover from Spirit.

The liabilities recorded represent our best estimate or the low end of a range of reasonably possible costs expected to be incurred to remediate sites, including operation and maintenance over periods of up to 30 years. It is reasonably possible that we may incur charges that exceed these recorded amounts because of regulatory agency orders and directives, changes in laws and/or regulations, higher than expected costs and/or the discovery of new or additional contamination. As part of our estimating process, we develop a range of reasonably possible alternate scenarios that includes the high end of a range of reasonably possible cost estimates for all remediation sites for which we have sufficient information based on our experience and existing laws and regulations. There are some potential remediation obligations where the costs of remediation cannot be reasonably estimated. At June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 20152016, the high end of the estimated range of reasonably possible remediation costs exceeded our recorded liabilities by $874867 and $853.$857.

Commercial Aircraft Commitments
In conjunction with signing definitive agreements for the sale of new aircraft (Sale Aircraft), we have entered into trade-in commitments with certain customers that give them the right to trade in used aircraft at a specified price upon the purchase of Sale Aircraft. The probability that trade-in commitments will be exercised is determined by using both quantitative information from valuation sources and qualitative information from

other sources. The probability of exercise is assessed quarterly, or as events trigger a change, and takes into consideration the current economic and airline industry environments. Trade-in commitments, which

can be terminated by mutual consent with the customer, may be exercised only during the period specified in the agreement, and require advance notice by the customer.
Trade-in commitment agreements at June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 have expiration dates from 20162017 through 2026. At June 30, 2016March 31, 2017, and December 31, 20152016 total contractual trade-in commitments were $1,8041,448 and $1,5851,485. As of June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 20152016, we estimated that it was probable we would be obligated to perform on certain of these commitments with net amounts payable to customers totaling $257160 and $240$126 and the fair value of the related trade-in aircraft was $257$160 and $240126.
Financing Commitments
Financing commitments, which include commitments to provide financing related to aircraft on order, under option for deliveries orincluding options and those proposed as part ofin sales campaigns, and refinancing of delivered aircraft, totaled $17,132$14,067 and $16,283$14,847 as of June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015.2016. The estimated earliest potential funding dates for these commitments as of June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 are as follows:

As of June 30, 2016March 31, 2017, all of these financing commitments related to customers we believe have less than investment-grade credit. We have concluded that no reserve for future potential losses is required for these financing commitments based upon the terms, such as collateralization and interest rates, under which funding would be provided.
Standby Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds
We have entered into standby letters of credit and surety bonds with financial institutions primarily relating to the guarantee of our future performance on certain contracts. Contingent liabilities on outstanding letters of credit agreements and surety bonds aggregated approximately $4,5013,960 and $4,9684,701 as of June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 20152016.
Commitments to ULA
We and Lockheed Martin Corporation have each committed to provide ULA with additional capital contributions in the event ULA does not have sufficient funds to make a required payment to us under an inventory supply agreement. As of June 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, ULA’s total remaining obligation to Boeing under the inventory supply agreement was $120. See Note 4.
F/A-18
At June 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, our backlog included 3429 F/A-18 aircraft under contract with the U.S. Navy. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016, passedWe have begun work or authorized suppliers to begin working on aircraft beyond those already in December 2015, funds 12 additionalbacklog in anticipation of future orders. At March 31, 2017, we had $43 of capitalized precontract costs and $844 of potential termination liabilities to suppliers associated with F/A-18 aircraft that, combined with the orders in backlog, would complete production in mid-2018. The President’s Fiscal Year 2017 Budget request submitted in February 2016 includes funding for two additional F/A-18 aircraft. In May 2016, both congressional appropriations committees included additional F/A-18s in their proposed FY17 defense funding bills. The Senate bill includes funding for 14 F/A-18s and the House bill includes funding for a total of 16 F/A-18s. We are continuing to work with our U.S. customers as well as international customers to secure additional orders that would extend the program beyond 2018.not yet on order.

Should additional orders not materialize, it is reasonably possible that we will decide to end production of the F/A-18 in 2018. We are still evaluating the full financial impact of a potential production shutdown, including any recovery that may be available from the U.S. government.
United States Government Defense Environment Overview
The enactmentIn March 2017, the U.S. administration submitted a budget amendment that would add $30 billion to the Defense Department budget for government fiscal year 2017. In addition, an outline of The Bipartisanits fiscal year 2018 budget request was released that is $52 billion or 10% higher than the caps in the Budget Control Act of 20152011 (The Act). However, The Act, which mandates limits on U.S. government discretionary spending, remains in November 2015 established overall defense spending levels for FY2016effect through fiscal year 2021. As a result, continued budget uncertainty and FY2017. However, uncertainty remains with respect to levels of defense spending for FY2018 and beyond includingthe risk of future sequestration cuts.cuts will remain unless The Act is repealed or significantly modified.
SignificantIn addition, there continues to be uncertainty also continues with respect to program-level appropriations for the U.S. Department of Defense (U.S. DoD) and other government agencies, including the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), within the overall budgetary framework described above. Future budget cuts including cuts mandated by sequestration, or future procurement decisions associated with the authorization and appropriations processinvestment priority changes could result in reductions, cancellations and/or delays of existing contracts or programs. Any of these impacts could have a material effect on the results of the Company'sCompany’s operations, financial position and/or cash flows.
In addition toFunding timeliness also remains a risk as the risks described above, iffederal government is currently operating under a continuing resolution that expires on April 28, 2017. If Congress is unable to pass appropriations bills in a timely manner,before the continuing resolution expires, a government shutdown could result which may have impacts above and beyond those resulting from budget cuts, sequestration impacts or program-level appropriations. For example, requirements to furlough employees in the U.S. DoD or other government agencies could result in payment delays, impair our ability to perform work on existing contracts, and/or negatively impact future orders.
KC-46A Tanker and BDS Fixed-Price Development Contracts
Fixed-price development work is inherently uncertain and subject to significant variability in estimates of the cost and time required to complete the work. BDS fixed-price contracts with significant development work include Commercial Crew, Saudi F-15, USAFU.S. Air Force (USAF) KC-46A Tanker, and commercial and military satellites. The operational and technical complexities of these contracts create financial risk, which could trigger termination provisions, order cancellations or other financially significant exposure. Changes to cost and revenue estimates could result in lower margins or material charges for reach-forward losses. For example, during 2016,in the first quarter of 2017, we have recorded an additional reach-forward lossesloss of $816$142 on the KC-46A Tanker program. Moreover, this and our other fixed-price development programs remain subject to additional reach-forward losses if we experience further technical or quality issues, schedule delays, or increased costs. 
KC-46A Tanker
In 2011, we were awarded a contract from the USAF to design, develop, manufacture and deliver four next generation aerial refueling tankers. This Engineering, Manufacturing and Development (EMD) contract is a fixed-price incentive fee contract valued at $4.9 billion and involves highly complex designs and systems integration. In 2016, the USAF authorized LRIP lots for 7 and 12 aircraft valued at $2.8 billion. In January 2017, the USAF authorized an additional LRIP lot for 15 aircraft valued at $2.1 billion. At June 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, we had approximately $1,211$288 of capitalized precontract costs and $1,997$345 of potential termination liabilities to suppliers associated with the Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) KC-46A Tanker aircraft for the U.S. Air Force (USAF). On May 27, 2016 the USAF announced that the date it expected to authorize LRIP aircraft had moved from June 2016 to August 2016, subject to satisfactory progress being made on the Engineering, Manufacturing and Development (EMD) contract. We have achieved the relevant flight testing milestones, including successful refueling of six flight test aircraft (F-16, F/A-18, C-17, A-10, AV-8B and a receiver KC-46), and expect to meet all other program requirements necessary to support the USAF’s authorization of LRIP aircraft during August 2016. On May 27, 2016 it was also announced that the first tanker delivery date moved from March 2017 to August 2017 with 18 fully operational tankers to be delivered by January 2018 instead of August 2017 due to ongoing complexities associated with qualification and certification and the higher volume of change incorporation required to bring the first 18 aircraft up to certification configuration.suppliers.
Recoverable Costs on Government Contracts  
Our final incurred costs for each year are subject to audit and review for allowability by the U.S. government, which can result in payment demands related to costs they believe should be disallowed. We work with the U.S. government to assess the merits of claims and where appropriate reserve for amounts disputed. If we are unable to satisfactorily resolve disputed costs, we could be required to record an earnings charge and/or provide refunds to the U.S. government.

Russia/Ukraine
We continue to monitor political unrest involving Russia and Ukraine, where we and some of our suppliers source titanium products and/or have operations. A number of our commercial customers also have operations in Russia and Ukraine. To date, we have not experienced any significant disruptions to production or deliveries. Should suppliers or customers experience disruption, our production and/or deliveries could be materially impacted.
747 Program
Lower-than-expected demand for large commercial passenger and freighter aircraft and slower-than-expected growth of global freight traffic have continued to drive market uncertainties, pricing pressures and fewer orders than anticipated. AsWe are currently producing at a result, during the second quarter of 2016, we canceled previous plans to return to a production rate of 1.00.5 aircraft per month beginning in 2019, resulting in a reduction in themonth. The program accounting quantity from 1,574 to 1,555 aircraft. This reduction in the program accounting quantity, together with lower anticipated revenues from future sales and higher costs associated with producing fewer airplanes, resulted in a reach-forward loss of $1,188 in the quarter. The adjusted program accounting quantity includes 32 undelivered aircraft currently scheduled to be produced through 2019. We previously recognized reach-forward losses of $885 and $70 during the second half of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016, respectively, related to the prior decision to reduce the production rate to 0.5 per month and lower estimated revenue from future sales due to ongoing pricing and market pressures. We are currently producing at a rate of 1.0 per month and expect to reduce the rate to 0.5 per month in September 2016. We continue to have a number of completed aircraft in inventory as well as unsold production positions and we remain focused on obtaining additional orders and implementing cost-reduction efforts. If we are unable to obtain sufficient orders and/or market, production and other risks cannot be mitigated, we could record additional losses that may be material, and it is reasonably possible that we could decide to end production of the 747.
787 Program
The 787 program continuescontinued to have near breakeven gross margins. The combination of production challenges, change incorporation on early build aircraft, schedule delays, customer and supplier impacts and changes to price escalation factors has created significant pressure on program profitability. We are continuing to monitor wide-body demand and if sufficient orders do not materialize, we may consider appropriate adjustments to planned production rates. If risks related to this program, includingthese challenges, together with risks associated with planned production rates and productivity improvements, supply chain management, planned production rate increases or introducing andor manufacturing the 787-10 derivative as scheduled cannot be mitigated, the program could record a reach-forward loss that may be material.

Note 9 – Arrangements with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
We enter into arrangements with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business, primarily in the form of guarantees.
The following table provides quantitative data regarding our third party guarantees. The maximum potential payments represent a “worst-case scenario,” and do not necessarily reflect amounts that we expect to pay. Estimated proceeds from collateral and recourse represent the anticipated values of assets we could liquidate or receive from other parties to offset our payments under guarantees.

Contingent Repurchase Commitments The repurchase price specified in contingent repurchase commitments is generally lower than the expected fair value at the specified repurchase date. Estimated

proceeds from collateral/recourse in the table above represent the lower of the contracted repurchase price or the expected fair value of each aircraft at the specified repurchase date.
Indemnifications to ULA In 2006, we agreed to indemnify ULA through December 31, 2020 against potential non-recoverability and non-allowability of $1,360 of Boeing Delta launch program inventory included in contributed assets plus $1,860 of inventory subject to an inventory supply agreement which ends on March 31, 2021. Since inception, ULA has consumed $1,273$1,288 of the $1,360 of inventory that was contributed by us and has yet to consume $87.$72. Under the inventory supply agreement, we have recorded revenues and cost of sales of $1,410$1,500 through June 30, 2016.March 31, 2017. ULA has made payments of $1,740 to us under the inventory supply agreement and we have made $63$48 of net indemnification payments to ULA.
We agreed to indemnify ULA against potential losses that ULA may incur in the event ULA is unable to obtain certain additional contract pricing from the USAF for four satellite missions. In 2009, ULA filed a complaint before the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (ASBCA) for a contract adjustment for the price of two of these missions, followed in 2011 by a subsequent notice of appeal with respect to a third mission. The USAF did not exercise an option for a fourth mission prior to the expiration of the contract. During the second quarter of 2016, the ASBCA ruled that ULA is entitled to additional contract pricing for each of the three missions and remanded to the parties to negotiate appropriate pricing. However, ifDuring the fourth quarter of 2016, the USAF appealsappealed the ASBCA's ruling, andruling. In April 2017, the USAF withdrew its appeal. If ULA is ultimately unsuccessful in obtaining additional pricing, we may be responsible for an indemnification payment up to $261 and may record up to $277 in pre-tax losses associated with the three missions.

Potential payments for Other Delta contracts include $85 related to deferred support costs and $91 related to deferred production costs. In June 2011, the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) notified ULA that it had determined that $271 of deferred support costs are not recoverable under government contracts. In December 2011, the DCMA notified ULA of the potential non-recoverability of an additional $114 of deferred production costs. ULA and Boeing believe that all costs are recoverable and in November 2011, ULA filed a certified claim with the USAF for collection of deferred support and production costs. The USAF issued a final decision denying ULA’s certified claim in May 2012. On June 14, 2012, Boeing and ULA filed a suit in the Court of Federal Claims seeking recovery of the deferred support and production costs from the U.S. government. On November 9, 2012, the U.S. government filed an answer to our claim and asserted a counterclaim for credits that it alleges were offset by deferred support cost invoices. We believe that the U.S. government’s counterclaim is without merit, and have filed an answer challenging it on multiple grounds. The litigation is in the discovery phase, and the Court has not yet set a trial date. If, contrary to our belief, it is determined that some or all of the deferred support or production costs are not recoverable, we could be required to record pre-tax losses and make indemnification payments to ULA for up to $317 of the costs questioned by the DCMA.
Other Indemnifications In conjunction with our sales of Electron Dynamic Devices, Inc. and Rocketdyne Propulsion and Power businesses and our Commercial Airplanes facilities in Wichita, Kansas and Tulsa and McAlester, Oklahoma, we agreed to indemnify, for an indefinite period, the buyers for costs relating to pre-closing environmental conditions and certain other items. We are unable to assess the potential number of future claims that may be asserted under these indemnifications, nor the amounts thereof (if any). As a result, we cannot estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments under these indemnities and therefore, no liability has been recorded. To the extent that claims have been made under these indemnities and/or are probable and reasonably estimable, liabilities associated with these indemnities are included in the environmental liability disclosure in Note 8.
Credit Guarantees We have issued credit guarantees, principally to facilitate the sale and/or financing of commercial aircraft. Under these arrangements, we are obligated to make payments to a guaranteed party in the event that lease or loan payments are not made by the original lessee or debtor or certain specified services are not performed. A substantial portion of these guarantees has been extended on behalf of original lessees or debtors with less than investment-grade credit. Our commercial aircraft credit guarantees are collateralized by the underlying commercial aircraft and certain other assets. Current outstanding credit guarantees expire within the next fivefour years.

Note 10 – Debt
On May 18, 2016,February 16, 2017, we issued $1,200$900 of fixed rate senior notes consisting of $400$300 due June 15, 2023March 1, 2022 that bear an annual interest rate of 1.875%2.125%, $400$300 due June 15, 2026March 1, 2027 that bear an annual interest rate of 2.25%2.8%, and $400$300 due June 15, 2046March 1, 2047 that bear an annual interest rate of 3.375%3.65%. The notes are unsecured senior obligations and rank equally in right of payment with our existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The net proceeds of the issuance totaled $1,170,$872, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses.

Note 12 – Share-Based Compensation and Other Compensation Arrangements
Restricted Stock Units
On February 22, 2016,27, 2017, we granted to our executives 777,837523,835 restricted stock units (RSUs) as part of our long-term incentive program with a grant date fair value of $117.50$178.72 per unit. The RSUs granted under this program will vest and settle in common stock (on a one-for-one basis) on the third anniversary of the grant date.
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units
On February 22, 2016,27, 2017, we granted to our executives 721,176492,273 performance-based restricted stock units (PBRSUs) as part of our long-term incentive program with a grant date fair value of $126.74$190.17 per unit. Compensation expense for the award is recognized over the three-year performance period based upon the grant date fair value estimated using a Monte-Carlo simulation model. The model used the following assumptions: expected volatility of 22.44%21.37% based upon historical stock volatility, a risk-free interest rate of 0.92%1.46%, and no expected dividend yield because the units earn dividend equivalents.

Performance Awards
On February 22, 2016,27, 2017, we granted to our executives performance awards as part of our long-term incentive program with a payout based on the achievement of financial goals for the three-year period ending December 31, 2018.2019. At June 30, 2016March 31, 2017, the minimum payout amount is $0 and the maximum amount we could be required to pay out is $351.$371.

Note 14 – Derivative Financial Instruments
Cash Flow Hedges
Our cash flow hedges include foreign currency forward contracts and commodity purchase contracts. We use foreign currency forward contracts to manage currency risk associated with certain transactions, specifically forecasted sales and purchases made in foreign currencies. Our foreign currency contracts hedge forecasted transactions through 2021.2022. We use commodity derivatives, such as fixed-price purchase commitments to hedge against potentially unfavorable price changes for items used in production. Our commodity contracts hedge forecasted transactions through 2020.
Fair Value Hedges
Interest rate swaps under which we agree to pay variable rates of interest are designated as fair value hedges of fixed-rate debt. The net change in fair value of the derivatives and the hedged items is reported in Boeing Capital interest expense.
Derivative Instruments Not Receiving Hedge Accounting Treatment
We have entered into agreements to purchase and sell aluminum to address long-term strategic sourcing objectives and international business requirements. These agreements are derivative instruments for accounting purposes. The quantities of aluminum in these agreements offset and are priced at prevailing market prices. We also hold certain foreign currency forward contracts which do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.

Based on our portfolio of cash flow hedges, we expect to reclassify losses of $8372 (pre-tax) out of Accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings during the next 12 months. Ineffectiveness related to our hedges recognized in Other income was insignificant for the six and three months ended June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and 2015.2016.
We have derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features. For foreign exchange contracts with original maturities of at least five years, our derivative counterparties could require settlement if we default on our five-year credit facility. For certain commodity contracts, our counterparties could require collateral posted in an amount determined by our credit ratings. The fair value of foreign exchange and commodity contracts that have credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liability position at June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 was $4038. At June 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, there was no collateral posted related to our derivatives.

Note 15 – Fair Value Measurements
The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value. Level 1 refers to fair values determined based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Level 2 refers to fair values estimated using significant other observable inputs and Level 3 includes fair values estimated using significant unobservable inputs. The following table presents our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy.

Money market funds, available-for-sale debt investments and equity securities are valued using a market approach based on the quoted market prices or broker/dealer quotes of identical or comparable instruments.
Derivatives include foreign currency, commodity and interest rate contracts. Our foreign currency forward contracts are valued using an income approach based on the present value of the forward rate less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Commodity derivatives are valued using an income approach based on the present value of the commodity index prices less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. The fair value of our interest rate swaps is derived from a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contract and the interest rate curve.
Certain assets have been measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The following table presents the nonrecurring losses recognized for the sixthree months ended June 30March 31 due to long-lived asset impairment and the fair value and asset classification of the related assets as of the impairment date:

The fair value of the impaired operating lease equipment is derived by calculating a median collateral value from a consistent group of third party aircraft value publications. The values provided by the third party aircraft publications are derived from their knowledge of market trades and other market factors. Management reviews the publications quarterly to assess the continued appropriateness and consistency with market trends. Under certain circumstances, we adjust values based on the attributes and condition of the specific

aircraft or equipment, usually when the features or use of the aircraft vary significantly from the more generic

aircraft attributes covered by third party publications, or on the expected net sales price for the aircraft. Property, plant and equipment, and Acquired intangible assets and Investments were primarily valued using an income approach based on the discounted cash flows associated with the underlying assets.
For Level 3 assets that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, the following table presents the fair value of those assets as of the measurement date, valuation techniques and related unobservable inputs of those assets.

The fair value of Accounts receivable is based on current market rates for loans of the same risk and maturities. The fair values of our variable rate notes receivable that reprice frequently approximate their carrying amounts. The fair values of fixed rate notes receivable are estimated with discounted cash flow analysis using interest rates currently offered on loans with similar terms to borrowers of similar credit quality. The fair value of our debt that is traded in the secondary market is classified as Level 2 and is based on current market yields. For our debt that is not traded in the secondary market, the fair value is classified as Level 2 and is based on our indicative borrowing cost derived from dealer quotes or discounted cash flows. The fair values of our debt classified as Level 3 are based on discounted cash flow models using the implied yield

from similar securities. With regard to other financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of our indemnifications and financing commitments because the amount and timing of those arrangements are uncertain. Items not included in the above disclosures include cash, restricted cash, time deposits and other deposits, commercial paper, money market funds, Accounts receivable, Accounts payable

and long-term payables. The carrying values of those items, as reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, approximate their fair value at June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015.2016. The fair value of assets and liabilities whose carrying value approximates fair value is determined using Level 2 inputs, with the exception of cash (Level 1).
Note 16 – Legal Proceedings
Various legal proceedings, claims and investigations related to products, contracts, employment and other matters are pending against us.
In addition, we are subject to various U.S. government inquiries and investigations from which civil, criminal or administrative proceedings could result or have resulted in the past. Such proceedings involve or could involve claims by the government for fines, penalties, compensatory and treble damages, restitution and/or forfeitures. Under government regulations, a company, or one or more of its operating divisions or subdivisions, can also be suspended or debarred from government contracts, or lose its export privileges, based on the results of investigations. We believe, based upon current information, that the outcome of any such legal proceeding, claim, or government dispute and investigation will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Note 17 – Segment Information
Effective during the first quarter of 2016, certain programs were realigned between Boeing Military Aircraft and Global Services & Support segments. Business segment data for 2015 have been adjusted to reflect the realignment.
Our primary profitability measurements to review a segment’s operating results are Earnings from operations and operating margins. See page 6 for a Summary of Business Segment Data, which is an integral part of this note.
In November 2016, we announced plans for the formation of Boeing Global Services (BGS), which will bring together certain Commercial Aviation Services businesses, currently included in the Commercial Airplanes segment, and certain BDS businesses (primarily those currently included in the Global Services & Support (GS&S) segment). We expect Boeing Global Services to be operational during the second half of 2017. We will continue to report using the existing segment structure until BGS is operational and has discrete financial information that is being provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker.

Unallocated Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Expense
Unallocated pension and other postretirement benefit expense represent the portion of pension and other postretirement benefit costs that are not recognized by business segments for segment reporting purposes. Pension costs, comprising Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (GAAP) service and prior service costs, are allocated to Commercial Airplanes. Pension costs are allocated to BDS using U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS), which employ different actuarial assumptions and accounting conventions than GAAP. These costs are allocable to government contracts. Other postretirement benefit costs are allocated to business segments based on CAS, which is generally based on benefits paid.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
The Boeing Company
Chicago, Illinois
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position of The Boeing Company and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2016March 31, 2017, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, and comprehensive income, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, and the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and equity for the six-monththree-month periods ended June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and 2015.2016. These interim financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to such condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 20152016, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 10, 2016,8, 2017, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 20152016 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of financial position from which it has been derived.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “projects,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “targets,” “anticipates” and similar expressions are used to identify these forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include statements relating to our future financial condition and operating results, as well as any other statement that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact.
  
Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions, which may not prove to be accurate. These statements are not guarantees and are subject to risks, uncertainties and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from these forward-looking statements. Among these factors are risks related to:
  
(1)general conditions in the economy and our industry, including those due to regulatory changes;
  
(2)our reliance on our commercial airline customers;
  
(3)the overall health of our aircraft production system, planned production rate increases across multiple commercial airline programs, our commercial development and derivative aircraft programs, and our aircraft being subject to stringent performance and reliability standards;

Earnings from operations for the six and three months ended June 30, 2016 decreasedMarch 31, 2017 increased by $2,333 million and $2,102$236 million compared with the same periodsperiod in 2015.2016, primarily due to Commercial Airplanes' earnings and higher unallocated pension income, which more than offset the impact of other unallocated items and eliminations and lower earnings at BDS.
Commercial AirplanesDuring the first quarter of 2017, earnings decreased by $2,763from operations included reach-forward losses of $142 million related to the KC-46A Tanker program. During the first quarter of 2016, we recorded KC-46A Tanker program reach-forward losses of $243 million, and $2,179a charge of $70 million duerelated to the reach-forward losses on the 747 program of $1,258 million and $70 million recorded during the six and three months ended June 30, 2016. In addition, for the three months ended June 30, 2016, we reclassified $1,235 million of costs related to two 787 flight test aircraft as a result of our determination that those aircraft are no longer commercially saleable.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016 we recorded reach-forward losses of $816 million on the KC-46A Tanker program of which $516 million was recorded at Commercial Airplanes and $300 million at our BMA segment. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we recorded $835 million of which $513 million was recorded at Commercial Airplanes and $322 million at our BMA segment. The earnings decreases for the six and three months ended June 30, 2016 are offset by unallocated pension and other postretirement benefit income recorded in 2016 compared with expense recorded in the comparable prior year periods.
Core operating earnings for the six and three months ended June 30, 2016 decreased by $2,639 million and $2,201 million compared with the same periods in 2015 primarily due to the 747 chargeshigher Commercial Airplanes' and the reclassification of costs related to the 787 flight test aircraft described above.

The decrease in net periodic pension benefit cost for the six and three months ended June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 of $1,062 million and $548$70 million compared with the same periodsperiod in 20152016 is primarily due to lower service costs and lower amortizationdue to the transition of actuarial losses. The lower service costs reflect the changesadditional employees to our retirement plans whereby certain employees transitioned in 2016 to a company-funded defined contribution retirement savings plan. The lower amortization of actuarial losses reflects actuarial gains in 2015 resulting from the year-end discount rate increasing from 3.9% to 4.2%. In 2014, the discount rate decreased to 3.9% from 4.8% resulting in actuarial losses.

Total Costs and Expenses (“Cost of Sales”)
Cost of sales, for both products and services, consists primarily of raw materials, parts, sub-assemblies, labor, overhead and subcontracting costs. Our Commercial Airplanes segment predominantly uses program accounting to account for cost of sales and BDS predominantly uses contract accounting. Under program accounting, cost of sales for each commercial airplane program equals the product of (i) revenue recognized in connection with customer deliveries and (ii) the estimated cost of sales percentage applicable to the total remaining program. Under contract accounting, the amount reported as cost of sales is determined by applying the estimated cost of sales percentage to the amount of revenue recognized. The following table summarizes cost of sales:

Additional Considerations
KC-46A Tanker In 2011, we were awarded a contract from the U.S. Air Force (USAF) to design, develop, manufacture and deliver four next generation aerial refueling tankers. The KC-46A Tanker is a derivative of our 767 commercial aircraft. This Engineering, Manufacturing and Development (EMD) contract is a fixed-price incentive fee contract valued at $4.9 billion and involves highly complex designs and systems integration. The EMD contract is currently in the certification and flight testing phases. In 2015, we began work on low rate initial production (LRIP) aircraft for the USAF and have continued productionUSAF. During the third quarter of LRIP aircraft in 2016. On May 27, 2016, the USAF announced that the date it expected to authorize LRIP aircraft had moved from June 2016 to August 2016, subject to satisfactory progress being made on EMD flight testing and other program requirements. We have achieved the relevantfollowing our achievement of key flight testing milestones, including successful refueling of six flight testthe USAF authorized two LRIP lots for 7 and 12 aircraft (F-16, F/A-18, C-17, A-10, AV-8B and a receiver KC-46), and expect to meet all other program requirements necessary to supportvalued at $2.8 billion. On January 27, 2017, the USAF’s authorization ofUSAF authorized an additional LRIP lot for 15 aircraft during August 2016.

Through 2015, we recorded reach-forward losses of $1,095 million on the EMD contract and in 2015, we recorded a reach-forward loss of $165 million related to LRIP aircraft. In the first quarter of 2016, we recorded further reach-forward losses of $243 million which included $158 million related to the EMD contract and $85 million related to LRIP aircraft. These losses are primarily driven by higher than anticipated certification and test rework and the change incorporation impact to EMD and LRIP aircraft. On May 27, 2016 it was also announced that the first tanker delivery date moved from March 2017 to August 2017 with 18 fully operational tankers to be delivered by January 2018 instead of August 2017 due to ongoing complexities associated with qualification and certification and the higher volume of change incorporation required to bring the first 18 aircraft up to certification configuration. The technical complexities and schedule delays resulted in additional charges of $573 million for reach-forward losses in the second quarter of 2016 of which $402 million related to EMD aircraft and $171 million related to LRIP aircraft. The second quarter charges are driven by costs associated with certification delays and higher costs associated with the overall revised schedule as set forth above, as well as a boom axial load issue that requires a hardware solution, and production concurrency between late-stage development testing and the initial production aircraft. As with any development program, this program remains subject to additional reach-forward losses if we experience further technical or quality issues, schedule delays or increased costs.
We expect to meet our commitment to deliver 18 fully operational aircraft to the customer by January 2018. The contract contains production options for both LRIP aircraft and full rate production aircraft.valued at $2.1 billion. If all options under the contract are exercised, we expect to deliver 179 aircraft for a total expected contract value of approximately $30 billion. The first tanker delivery is expected to occur in late 2017 with 18 fully operational aircraft to be delivered in early 2018.
During 2016, we recorded reach-forward losses of $1,128 million related to the EMD contract and LRIP aircraft. During the first quarter of 2017, we recorded further reach-forward losses of $142 million primarily reflecting higher estimated costs associated with certification and incorporating changes into LRIP aircraft. As with any development program, this program remains subject to additional reach-forward losses or delivery delays if we experience further production, technical or quality issues, delays in certification and/or flight testing.
Russia/Ukraine We continue to monitor political unrest involving Russia and Ukraine, where we and some of our suppliers source titanium products and/or have operations. A number of our commercial customers also have operations in Russia and Ukraine. To date, we have not experienced any significant disruptions to production or deliveries. Should suppliers or customers experience disruption, our production and/or deliveries could be materially impacted.
Export-Import Bank of the United States Many of our non-U.S. customers finance purchases through the Export-Import Bank of the United States. Following the expiration of the bank’s charter on June 30, 2015, the bank’s charter was reauthorized in December 2015. The bank is now authorized through September 30, 2019. However, until the U.S. Senate confirms members sufficient to reconstitute a quorum of the bank’s board of directors, the bank will not be able to approve any transaction totaling more than $10 million. As a result, we may fund additional commitments and/or enter into new financing arrangements with customers. Certain of our non-U.S. customers also may seek to delay purchases if they cannot obtain financing at reasonable costs, and there may be further impacts with respect to future sales campaigns involving non-U.S. customers. We continue to work with our customers to mitigate risks associated with the lack of a quorum of the bank’s board of directors and assist with alternative third party financing sources.

Earnings From Operations
Earnings from operations for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2016 decreasedMarch 31, 2017 increased by $2,763$182 million compared with the same period in 2015.2016. The decreaseincrease in earnings and operating margins iswas primarily due to aimproved cost performance, lower reach-forward losslosses, and growth in commercial aviation services, partially offset by lower volume and delivery mix.
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, Commercial Airplanes recorded reach-forward losses of $1,258$120 million on the 747 program, higher research and development costs of $1,451 million as well as delivery mix. Research and development costs reflect the reclassification from inventory to research and development expense of $1,235 million related to the fourth and fifth 787 flight test aircraft and higher planned costs related to the 777X program. Earnings include reach-forward losses related to the KC-46A Tanker of $516 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared with $513 million inprogram. During the comparable prior year period, reach-forward losses of 2015.
Earnings from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2016 decreased by $2,179 million compared with the same period in 2015 primarily due to higher research and development expense of $1,323$162 million and an additional reach-forward loss of $1,188$70 million on the 747 program, partially offset by lower KC-46A Tanker charges. Research and development expenses reflect costs of $1,235 million related to the 787 flight test aircraft and higher planned 777X costs. Earnings include reach-forward losses related to the KC-46A Tanker of $354 million in the second quarter of 2016 compared with $513 million in the second quarter of 2015.

and 747 programs were recorded.
Backlog
The decrease in contractual backlog during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 reflects the mix of deliveries compared with net orders. The increase in unobligated backlog was due to deliveries in excessdriven by Commercial Airplanes’ share of net orders.current year P-8 contract awards.

Program Highlights
737 Program The accounting quantity for the 737 program increased by 200 units during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and by 400 units during the six months ended June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 due to the program’s normal progress of obtaining additional orders and delivering airplanes. We are currently producing at a rate of 42 per month and plan to increase to 47 per month in the third quarter of 2017. We plan to further increase the rate to 52 per month in 2018 and to 57 per month in 2019. First delivery of the 737 MAX is expected in the second quarter of 2017.
747 Program Lower-than-expected demand for large commercial passenger and freighter aircraft and slower-than-expected growth of global freight traffic have continued to drive market uncertainties, pricing pressures and fewer orders than anticipated. As a result, during the second quarter of 2016, we canceled previous plans to return to a production rate of 1.0 aircraft per month beginning in 2019, resulting in a reduction in the program accounting quantity from 1,574 to 1,555 aircraft. This reduction in the program accounting quantity, together with lower anticipated revenues from future sales and higher costs associated with producing fewer airplanes, resulted in a reach-forward loss of $1,188 million in the quarter. The adjusted program accounting quantity includes 32 undelivered aircraft, currently scheduled to be produced through 2019. We previously recognized reach-forward losses of $885 million and $70 million during the second half of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016, respectively, related to our prior decision to reduce the production rate to 0.5 per month and anticipating lower estimated revenue from future sales due to ongoing pricing and market pressures. We are currently producing at a rate of 1.00.5 aircraft per month, and expectmonth. The program accounting quantity includes aircraft scheduled to reduce the rate to 0.5 per month in September 2016.be produced through 2019. We continue to have a number of completed aircraft in inventory as well as unsold production positions and we remain focused on obtaining additional orders and implementing cost-reduction efforts. If we are unable to obtain sufficient orders and/or market, production and other risks cannot be mitigated, we could record additional losses that may be material, and it is reasonably possible that we could decide to end production of the 747.

767 Program The accounting quantity for the 767 program increased by 12 units during the three months ended June 30, 2016 due to the program’s normal progress of obtaining additional orders and delivering airplanes. The 767 assembly line includes a 767 derivative to support the tanker program. We increased theThe combined tanker and commercial production rate from 1.5is currently 2 aircraft per month to 2 per month in April of 2016. Weand we plan to further increase the rate to 2.5 per month in the fourththird quarter of 2017.
777 Program We are currently producing atimplemented a planned production rate ofdecrease from 8.3 per month andto 7 per month during the three months ended March 31, 2017. We plan to further reduce the rate to 75 per month in 2017.the second half of 2017 due to lower than anticipated 777 orders. In the fourth quarter of 2013, we launched the 777X, which features a new composite wing, new engines and folding wing-tips. The 777X will have a separate program accounting quantity, which will be determined in the year of first airplane delivery, targeted for 2020.
787 Program During the quarter we beganWe are currently producing at a rate of 12 per month. We are planning a further ratemonth and plan to increase to 14 per month by the end of the decade. First delivery of the 787-10 derivative aircraft is targeted for 2018. The accounting quantity of 1,300 units remains unchanged.
We remain focused on improving productivity and obtaining additional orders to support planned production. We continue to monitor and address challenges associated with aircraft production and assembly, for both the 787-8 and 787-9, including

management of our manufacturing operations and extended global supply chain, completion and integration of traveled work, as well as completing and delivering early build aircraft.
During 2009, we concluded that the first three flight-test 787 aircraft could not be sold as previously anticipated due to the inordinate amount of rework and unique and extensive modifications made to those aircraft. As a result, costs associated with those airplanes were included in research and development expense. We produced the fourth and fifth flight test aircraft in 2009 but have been unable to sell them at acceptable prices. The aircraft have been used extensively for flight and ground testing and we intended to begin to refurbish the aircraft in early 2017 for commercial sale based on sales activity and market interest. However, during the second quarter of 2016 we determined that firm orders for these aircraft prior to refurbishment were now unlikely, and that the Company would not invest company funds for their refurbishment. The Company also determined the costs to refurbish the aircraft at a future date would be prohibitively expensive. We have therefore determined that the aircraft are not commercially saleable, and accordingly, costs of $1,235 million associated with these aircraft were reclassified from 787 program inventory to research and development expense. We have firm orders for the eight remaining undelivered early build aircraft and plan to complete retrofitting them by the end of 2017.
The combination of production challenges, change incorporation on early build aircraft, schedule delays, customer and supplier impacts and changes to price escalation factors has created significant pressure on program profitability and we continue to have near breakeven gross margins. We are continuing to monitor wide body demand and if sufficient orders do not materialize, we may consider appropriate adjustments to the planned production rate increase. If risks related to these challenges, together with risks associated with the planned production rate increases and productivity improvements, supply chain management or introducing or manufacturing the 787-10 derivative as scheduled cannot be mitigated, the program could face further pressures on program profitability and/or a reach-forward loss. We continue to implement mitigation plans and cost-reduction efforts to improve program profitability and address program risks.
Additional Considerations
The development and ongoing production of commercial aircraft is extremely complex, involving extensive coordination and integration with suppliers and highly-skilled labor from thousands of employees and other partners. Meeting or exceeding our performance and reliability standards, as well as those of customers and regulators, can be costly and technologically challenging. In addition, the introduction of new aircraft and derivatives, such as the 787-10, 737 MAX and 777X, involves increased risks associated with meeting development, production and certification schedules. As a result, our ability to deliver aircraft on time, satisfy performance and reliability standards and achieve or maintain, as applicable, program profitability is subject to significant risks. Factors that could result in lower margins (or a material charge if an airplane program has or is determined to have reach-forward losses) include the following: changes to the program accounting quantity, customer and model mix, production costs and rates, changes to price escalation factors due to

changes in the inflation rate or other economic indicators, performance or reliability issues involving completed aircraft, capital expenditures and other costs associated with increasing or adding new production capacity, learning curve, additional change incorporation, achieving anticipated cost reductions, flight test and certification schedules, costs, schedule and demand for new airplanes and derivatives and status of customer claims, supplier assertions and other contractual negotiations. While we believe the cost and revenue estimates incorporated in the consolidated financial statements are appropriate, the technical complexity of our airplane programs creates financial risk as additional completion costs may become necessary or scheduled delivery dates could be extended, which could trigger termination provisions, order cancellations or other financially significant exposure.

Business Environment and Trends
United States Government Defense Environment Overview The enactmentIn March 2017, the U.S. administration submitted a budget amendment that would add $30 billion to the Defense Department budget for government fiscal year 2017. In addition, an outline of The Bipartisanits fiscal year 2018 budget request was released that is $52 billion or 10% higher than the caps in the Budget Control Act of 20152011 (The Act). However, The Act, which mandates limits on U.S. government discretionary spending, remains in November 2015 established overall defense spending levels for FY2016effect through fiscal year 2021. As a result, continued budget uncertainty and FY2017. However, uncertainty remains with respect to levels of defense spending for FY2018 and beyond, includingthe risk of future sequestration cuts.cuts will remain unless The Act is repealed or significantly modified.
SignificantIn addition, there continues to be uncertainty also continues with respect to program-level appropriations for the U.S. Department of Defense (U.S. DoD) and other government agencies, including the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), within the overall budgetary framework described above. Future budget cuts including cuts mandated by sequestration, or future procurement decisions associated with the authorization and appropriations processinvestment priority changes could result in reductions, cancellations and/or delays of existing contracts or programs. Any of these impacts could have a material effect on the results of the Company'sCompany’s operations, financial position and/or cash flows.
In addition toFunding timeliness also remains a risk as the risks described above, iffederal government is currently operating under a continuing resolution that expires on April 28, 2017. If Congress is unable to pass appropriations bills in a timely manner,before the

continuing resolution expires, a government shutdown could result which may have impacts above and beyond those resulting from budget cuts, sequestration impacts or program-level appropriations. For example, requirements to furlough employees in the U.S. DoD or other government agencies could result in payment delays, impair our ability to perform work on existing contracts, and/or negatively impact future orders.

Since our operating cycle is long-term and involves many different types of development and production contracts with varying delivery and milestone schedules, the operating results of a particular year, or year-to-year comparisons of revenues, earnings and backlog may not be indicative of future operating results. In addition, depending on the customer and their funding sources, our orders might be structured as annual follow-on contracts, or as one large multi-year order or long-term award. As a result, period-to-period comparisons of backlog are not necessarily indicative of future workloads. The following discussions of comparative results among periods should be viewed in this context.

For further details on the changes between periods, refer to the discussions of the individual segments below.
Additional Considerations
Our BDS business includes a variety of development programs which have complex design and technical challenges. Many of these programs have cost-type contracting arrangements. In these cases, the associated financial risks are primarily in reduced fees, lower profit rates or program cancellation if cost, schedule or technical performance issues arise. Examples of these programs include Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD), Proprietary and Space Launch System (SLS) programs.
Some of our development programs are contracted on a fixed-price basis. Many of these programs have highly complex designs. As technical or quality issues arise during development, we may experience schedule delays and cost impacts, which could increase our estimated cost to perform the work or reduce our estimated price, either of which could result in a material charge or otherwise adversely affect our financial condition. These programs are ongoing, and while we believe the cost and fee estimates incorporated in the financial statements are appropriate, the

technical complexity of these programs creates financial risk as additional completion costs may become necessary or scheduled delivery dates could be extended, which could trigger termination provisions, the loss of satellite in-orbit incentive payments, or other financially significant exposure. These programs have risk for reach-forward losses if our estimated costs exceed our estimated contract revenues. Examples of significant fixed-price development programs include Saudi F-15, USAF KC-46A Tanker, Commercial Crew and commercial and military satellites.
Revenue and cost estimates for all significant contracts are reviewed and reassessed quarterly. Changes in these estimates could result in recognition of cumulative catch-up adjustments to the contract’s inception-to-date revenues, cost of sales and profit, in the period in which such changes are made. Changes in revenue and cost estimates could also result in a reach-forward loss or an adjustment to a reach-forward loss, which would be recorded immediately in earnings. For the sixthree months ended June 30,March 31, 2017 and 2016, and 2015, net unfavorablefavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments, including reach-forward losses, across all BDS contracts decreasedincreased Earnings from operations by $71$152 million and $81 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 net unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments, including reach-forward losses, across all BDS contracts decreased Earnings from operations by $149 million and $211$78 million.

Revenues
BMA revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased by $438 million compared with the same period in 2015 primarily due to higher revenues of $908 million related to timing and mix of deliveries on the F-15 and C-17 programs, higher volume primarily on the JDAM program and a cumulative catch-up adjustment on the F-15 program resulting from contract definitization. These increases were partially offset by lower proprietary volume, lower F/A-18 deliveries and mix of deliveries on the CH-47 Chinook program.
BMA revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 decreased by $495$1,023 million compared with the same period in 20152016, primarily due to lower revenues of $576 million related tofewer C-17 deliveries, timing and mix of F-15 deliveries, onas well as the C-17 and CH-47 Chinook programs and mixabsence of deliveries on the P-8 programs, partially offset by higher volume and mixa favorable cumulative catch-up adjustment on the F-15 programs.program recorded in the first quarter of 2016, resulting from contract definitization.

Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.5$2.1 billion during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2016March 31, 2017, compared with $3.4$1.3 billion induring the same period in 2015, an2016. The increase of $1.1 billion. The year-over-year improvement primarily reflects the absence of inventory growth in 2016, partially offset by lower balances of advances and progress billings. Reductions in customer financing also contributed to the 2016 improvement. While gross inventories decreased by $3.4 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2016, the decrease was primarily driven by changes in working capital with higher advances more than offsetting inventory increases. Advances and progress billings increased by $2.5 billion during the reclassification of 787 flight test aircraftthree months ended March 31, 2017 and remained flat during the reach-forward losses recorded on our 747 program which did not affect 2016 operating cash flows.same period in 2016. Gross inventories in the six months ended June 30, 2015 increased by $2.3 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared with $0.4 billion during the same period in 2016, driven by continued investment in commercial

airplane program inventory, primarily 787. Advances and progress billings balances decreased by $1.2 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2016 primarily due to lower advances at our BDS business compared with minimal change in 2015.inventory.
Investing Activities Cash used by investing activities was $1.4 billion during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 was $0.3 billion compared with $0.4 billion during the same period in 2015, largely due to lower net proceeds from investments in time deposits.2016. Net proceeds from investments duringwere $0.2 billion in the sixthree months ended June 30, 2016 were $0.05 billionMarch 31, 2017 compared with $0.8$0.3 billion in 2016. In the three months ended March 31, 2017, capital expenditures totaled $0.5 billion, down from $0.7 billion during the same period in 2015.2016. We expect capital expenditures in 20162017 to be higherlower than 2015 due to continued investment to support growth.2016.
Financing Activities Cash used by financing activities was $5.8$2.5 billion during the sixthree months ended June 30, 2016March 31, 2017, a decrease of $1.8 billion compared with $5.5the same period in 2016. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we issued $0.9 billion of debt compared with $0.1 billion in the same period in 2015, primarily due to higher share repurchases and dividend payments, partially offset by higher new borrowings and lower debt repayments. During the six months ended June 30, 2016 we issued $1.3 billion of debt compared with $0.8 billion during the same period in 2015.2016. At June 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, the recorded balance of debt was $11.0$10.8 billion, of which $1.2$0.4 billion was classified as short-term. This includes $2.3included $3.1 billion of debt attributable to BCC, of which $0.5 billion was classified as short-term.
During the sixthree months ended June 30, 2016,March 31, 2017 we repurchased 43.914.9 million shares totaling $5.5$2.5 billion through our open market share repurchase program. In addition, $0.60.6 million shares were transferred to us from employees for tax withholdings. At June 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, the amount available under the share repurchase plan, announced on December 14, 2015,12, 2016, totaled $8.5 billion.$11.5 billion.
Capital Resources We have substantial borrowing capacity. Any future borrowings may affect our credit ratings and are subject to various debt covenants as described below. We have a commercial paper program that continues to serve as a significant potential source of short-term liquidity. Throughout the sixthree months ended June 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, we had no commercial paper borrowings outstanding. Currently, we have $5.0 billion of unused borrowing capacity on revolving credit line agreements. We anticipate that these credit lines will primarily serve as backup liquidity to support our general corporate borrowing needs.
Financing commitments totaled $17.1$14.1 billion and $16.3$14.8 billion at June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2015.2016. We anticipate that we will not be required to fund a significant portion of our financing commitments as we continue to work with third party financiers to provide alternative financing to customers. Historically, we have not been required to fund significant amounts of outstanding commitments. However, there can be no assurances that we will not be required to fund greater amounts than historically required. In addition, many

of our non-U.S. customers finance aircraft purchases through the Export-Import Bank of the United States. Following the expiration of the bank’s charter on June 30, 2015, the bank’s charter was reauthorized in December 2015. The bank is now authorized through September 30, 2019. However, until the U.S. Senate confirms members sufficient to reconstitute a quorum of the bank’s board of directors, the bank will not be able to approve any transaction totaling more than $10 million. As a result, we may fund additional commitments and/or enter into new financing arrangements with customers.
In the event we require additional funding to support strategic business opportunities, our commercial aircraft financing commitments, unfavorable resolution of litigation or other loss contingencies, or other business requirements, we expect to meet increased funding requirements by issuing commercial paper or term debt. We believe our ability to access external capital resources should be sufficient to satisfy existing short-term and long-term commitments and plans, and also to provide adequate financial flexibility to take advantage of potential strategic business opportunities should they arise within the next year. However, there can be no assurance of the cost or availability of future borrowings, if any, under our commercial paper program, in the debt markets or our credit facilities.
At June 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, we were in compliance with the covenants for our debt and credit facilities. The most restrictive covenants include a limitation on mortgage debt and sale and leaseback transactions as a percentage of consolidated net tangible assets (as defined in the credit agreements), and a limitation on consolidated debt as a percentage of total capital (as defined). When considering debt covenants, we continue to have substantial borrowing capacity.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We are a party to certain off-balance sheet arrangements including certain guarantees. For discussion of these arrangements, see Note 9 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Contingent Obligations
We have significant contingent obligations that arise in the ordinary course of business, which include the following:
Legal Various legal proceedings, claims and investigations are pending against us. Legal contingencies are discussed in Note 16 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Environmental Remediation We are involved with various environmental remediation activities and have recorded a liability of $590525 million at June 30, 2016March 31, 2017. For additional information, see Note 8 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Income Taxes As of June 30, 2016, we have $1,681 million of unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions. For further discussion of income taxes, see Note 3 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Non-GAAP Measures
Core Operating Earnings, Core Operating Margin and Core Earnings Per Share
Our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (GAAP) which we supplement with certain non-GAAP financial information. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures, and other companies may define such measures differently. We encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. Core operating earnings, core operating margin and core earnings per share exclude the impact of certain pension and other postretirement benefit expenses that are not allocated to business segments. Pension costs, comprising service and prior service costs computed in accordance with GAAP are allocated to Commercial Airplanes. Pension costs allocated to BDS segments are computed in accordance with U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS), which employ different actuarial assumptions and accounting conventions than GAAP. CAS costs are allocable to government contracts. Other postretirement benefit costs are allocated to all business segments based on CAS, which is generally based on benefits paid. The unallocated pension costs recognized in earnings was a benefit of $79 million and $34$255 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2016March 31, 2017 compared with an expense of $209 million and $57$45 million for the same periodsperiod in 2015.2016. The 2016higher 2017 benefit reflects the difference between the higher segment allocation compared to the U.S. GAAP net periodic pension costs recognized in earnings in the current period. The 2015 unallocated expense reflects the amortization of pension costsbenefits capitalized as inventory in prior years.
For further discussion of pension and other post retirementpostretirement costs see the Management’s Discussion and Analysis on page 3330 of this Form 10-Q and on page 46 of our 20152016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Management uses core operating earnings, core operating margin and core earnings per share for purposes of evaluating and forecasting underlying business performance. Management believes these core earnings measures provide investors additional insights into operational performance as unallocated pension and other postretirement benefit cost, primarily represent costs driven by market factors and costs not allocable to U.S. government contracts.

The table below reconciles the non-GAAP financial measures of core operating earnings/(loss),earnings, core operating margin and core earnings per share with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures of earnings from operations, operating margins and diluted earnings per share.
