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 September 30, 20182019 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 20172018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Prior periodCertain amounts in prior periods have been adjusted to conform with the current year presentation.
Standards Issued and Not Yet Implemented
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 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 permits two approaches, one requiring retrospective application of the new guidance with restatement of prior years, and one requiring prospective application of the new guidance. We plan to adopt the new lease standard effective January 1, 2019 and apply it prospectively. We do not expect the new lease standard to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Standards Issued and Implemented
In the first quarter of 2018,2019, we adopted the following ASUs: ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with CustomersAccounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 606); ASU 2017-07,Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation842) and recognized on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost; ASU 2016-18Financial Position $1,064 Statementof lease liabilities with corresponding right-of-use assets for operating leases. Our accounting for finance leases and lessor contracts remains substantially unchanged. The standard has no impact to cash provided or used by operating, investing, or financing activities on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash FlowsFlows. As permitted under the standard, we elected prospective application of the new guidance and prior periods continue to be presented in accordance with Topic 840. Refer to our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K for disclosures required by Topic 840. We also elected the package of practical expedients, which among other things, does not require reassessment of lease classification.
In the first quarter of 2019, we adopted ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 230): Restricted Cash;ASU 2018-02815), Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.
using the modified retrospective method. The standard refines and simplifies hedge accounting requirements for both financial and commodity risks. The impact of the adoption of these standards to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is presented in Note 2 and the additional disclosures are shown in Notes 6and 19.
ASU 2014-09In the first quarter of 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), using the full retrospective method. Topic 606 requires 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.
Most of our defense contracts at our Defense, Space & Security (BDS) and Global Services (BGS) segments and certain military derivative aircraft contracts at our Commercial Airplanes (BCA) segment now recognize revenue under the new standard as costs are incurred. Under previous U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), revenue was generally recognized when deliveries were made, performance milestones were attained, or as costs were incurred. The new standard accelerates the timing of when the revenue is recognized, however, it does not change the total amount of revenue recognized on these contracts. The new standard does not affect revenue recognition or the use of program accounting for commercial airplane contracts in our BCA business. We continue to recognize revenue for these contracts at the point in time when the customer accepts delivery of the airplane. The adoption resulted in a cumulative adjustment to increase Retained earnings by $901 at January 1, 2016 and an increase of $73 to Net earnings for the first nine months of 2017.

ASU 2017-07 In the first quarter of 2018, we adopted ASU 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost.The standard requires non-service cost components of net periodic benefit cost to be presented in non-operating earnings using a retrospective transition method. We applied a practical expedient as the estimation basis for the reclassification of prior period non-service cost components of net periodic benefit cost from Earnings from operations to Other income/(loss), net. Through the end of 2017, a portion of net periodic pension and other postretirement income or expense was not recognized in net earnings in the year incurred because it was allocated to production as product costs, and reflected in inventory at the end of the reporting periods. Effective January 1, 2018, in accordance with our adoption of ASU 2017-07, only service costs may be allocated to production costs and capitalized in inventory on a prospective basis. The impact of adoption was not material. See Note 17 for additional disclosures.
ASU 2016-18In the first quarter of 2018, we adopted ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. The standard requires companies to include restricted amounts with Cash & cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and end of period total amounts shown on the Statements of Cash Flows. The impact of adoption was not material.
ASU 2018-02 In the first quarter of 2018, we early adopted ASU 2018-02, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The standard allows companies to reclassify from Accumulated other comprehensive income/loss to Retained earnings the difference between the historical corporate income tax rate of 35% and the 21% rate enacted in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) in December 2017. This resulted in an increase of $2,997 to Retained earnings and an increase of $2,997 to Accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Significant Accounting Policies - Update
Our significant accounting policies are described in "Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018. Our updated significant accounting policies described below reflect the impact of the adoption ofadopting Topic 606 in the first quarter of 2018.
Revenue and Related Cost Recognition842.
Commercial aircraft contractsLeases The majorityWe determine if an arrangement is, or contains, a lease at the inception date. Operating leases are included in Other assets, with the related liabilities included in Accrued liabilities and Other long-term liabilities. Assets under finance leases are included in Property, plant and equipment, net, with the related liabilities included in Short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt and Long-term debt on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
Operating lease assets represent our BCA segment revenue is derivedright to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from commercial aircraft contracts. For each contract, we determine the transaction pricelease. Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the consideration expectedestimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. We use our estimated incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of lease payments. Variable components of the lease payments such as fair market value adjustments, utilities, and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred and not included in determining the present value. Our lease terms include options to be received. We allocateextend or terminate the transaction price to each commercial aircraft performance obligation based on relative standalone selling prices adjusted by an escalation formula as specified in the customer agreement. Revenuelease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components which are accounted for each commercial aircraft performance obligationas a single lease component.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the point in time when the aircraft is completed and accepted by the customer. We use program accounting to determine the amount reported as cost of sales.
Where an aircraft is still in our possession, and title and risk of loss has passed to the customer (known as a bill-and-hold arrangement), revenue will be recognized when all specific requirements for transfer of control under a bill-and-hold arrangement have been met.
Payments for commercial aircraft sales are received in accordance with the customer agreement, which generally includes a deposit upon order and additional payments in accordance with a payment schedule, with the balance being due immediately prior to or at aircraft delivery. Advances and progress billings (contract liabilities) are normal and customary for commercial aircraft contracts and not considered a significant financing component as they are intended to protect us from the other party failing to adequately complete some or all of its obligations under the contract.
Long-term contracts Substantially all contracts at BDS, certain military derivative aircraft contracts at BCA and certain contracts at BGS are long-term contracts with the U.S. government and other customers that generally extend over several years. Products sales under long-term contracts primarily include fighter jets, rotorcraft, cybersecurity products, surveillance suites, advanced weapons, missile defense, military derivative aircraft, satellite systems, and modification of commercial passenger aircraft to cargo freighters. Services

sales under long-term contracts primarily include support and maintenance agreements associated with our commercial and defense products and space travel on Commercial Crew.
For each long-term contract, we determine the transaction price based on the consideration expected to be received. We allocate the transaction price to each distinct performance obligation to deliver a good or service, or a collection of goods and/or services, based on the relative standalone selling prices. A long-term contract will typically represent a single distinct performance obligation due to the highly interdependent and interrelated naturedate of the underlying goods and/or servicesfinancial statements and the significant servicereported amounts of integration that we provide. Whilerevenues and expenses during the scope and price on certain long-term contracts may be modified over their life, the transaction price is based on current rights and obligations under the contract and does not include potential modifications until they are agreed upon with the customer. When applicable, a cumulative adjustment or separate recognition for the additional scope and price may result. Long-term contracts can be negotiated with a fixed price or a price in which we are reimbursed for costs incurred plus an agreed upon profit. The Federal Acquisition Regulations provide guidance on the types of cost that will be reimbursed in establishing the price for contracts with the U.S. government. Certain long-term contracts include in the transaction price variable consideration, such as incentive and award fees, if specified targets are achieved. The amount included in the transaction price represents the expected value, based on a weighted probability, or the most likely amount.reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Long-term contract revenue is recognized over the contract term (over time) as the work progresses, either as products are produced or as services are rendered. We generally recognize revenue over time as we perform on long-term contracts because of continuous transfer of control to the customer. For U.S. government contracts, this continuous transfer of control to the customer is supported by clauses in the contract that allow the customer to unilaterally terminate the contract for convenience, pay us for costs incurred plus a reasonable profit and take control of any work in process. Similarly, for non-U.S. government contracts, the customer typically controls the work in process as evidenced either by contractual termination clauses or by our rights to payment of the transaction price associated with work performed to date on products or services that do not have an alternative use to the Company.
The accounting for long-term contracts involves a judgmental process of estimating total sales, costs and profit for each performance obligation. Cost of sales is recognized as incurred. The amount reported as revenues is determined by adding a proportionate amount of the estimated profit to the amount reported as cost of sales. Recognizing revenue as costs are incurred provides an objective measure of progress on the long-term contract and thereby best depicts the extent of transfer of control to the customer.
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 long-term contract’s percentage-of-completion. When the current estimates of total sales and costs for a long-term contract indicate a loss, a provision for the entire reach-forward loss on the long-term contract is recognized.
Net cumulative catch-up adjustments to prior years' revenue and earnings, including certain reach-forward losses, across all long-term contracts were as follows:

Due to the significance of judgment in the estimation process changes in underlying assumptions/estimates, supplier performance, or circumstances may adversely or positively affect financial performance in future periods.

Payments under long-term contracts may be received before or after revenue is recognized. The U.S. government customer typically withholds payment of a small portion of the contract price until contract completion. Therefore, long-term contracts typically generate Unbilled receivables (contract assets) but may generate Advances and progress billings (contract liabilities). Long-term contract Unbilled receivables and Advances and progress billings are not considered a significant financing component because they are intended to protect either the customer or the Company in the event that some or all of the obligations under the contract are not completed.
Commercial spare parts contracts Certain contracts at our BGS segment include sales of commercial spare parts. For each contract, we determine the transaction price based on the consideration expected to be received. The spare parts have discrete unit prices that represent fair value. We generally consider each spare part to be a separate performance obligation. Revenue is recognized for each commercial spare part performance obligation at the point in time of delivery to the customer. We may provide our customers with a right to return a commercial spare part where a customer may receive a full or partial refund, a credit applied to amounts owed, a different product in exchange, or any combination of these items. We consider the potential for customer returns in the estimated transaction price. The amount reported as cost of sales is recorded at average cost. Payments for commercial spare parts sales are typically received shortly after delivery.
Other service revenue contracts Certain contracts at our BGS segment are for sales of services to commercial customers including maintenance, training, data analytics and information-based services. We recognize revenue for these service performance obligations over time as the services are rendered. The method of measuring progress (such as straight-line or billable amount) varies depending upon which method best depicts the transfer of control to the customer based on the type of service performed. Cost of sales is recorded as incurred.
Concession sharing arrangements We account for sales concessions to our customers in consideration of their purchase of products and services as a reduction of the transaction price and the revenue that is recognized for the related performance obligations. The sales concessions incurred may be partially reimbursed by certain suppliers in accordance with concession sharing arrangements. We record these reimbursements, which are presumed to represent reductions in the price of the vendor’s products or services, as a reduction in Cost of products.
Unbilled Receivables and Advances and Progress Billings
Unbilled receivables (contract assets) arise when the Company recognizes revenue for amounts which cannot yet be billed under terms of the contract with the customer. Advances and progress billings (contract liabilities) arise when the Company receives payments from customers in advance of recognizing revenue. The amount of Unbilled receivables or Advances and progress billings is determined for each contract.

Note 2 - Impact of Adoption of New Standards– Acquisitions and Joint Ventures
InStrategic Partnership with Embraer
During the first quarter of 2018,2019, we adoptedentered into definitive transaction documents with respect to a strategic partnership with Embraer S.A. (Embraer). The partnership contemplates that the following ASUs: ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606); ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improvingparties enter into a joint venture comprising the Presentationcommercial aircraft and services operations of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost; ASU 2016-18 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230)Restricted Cash; andASU 2018-02Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.
The impact to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial StatementsEmbraer, in which Boeing will acquire an 80 percent ownership stake for $4,200, as well as a resultjoint venture to promote and develop new markets for the multi-mission medium airlift KC-390, in which Boeing will hold a 49 percent ownership stake. Embraer shareholders approved the transaction, which remains subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. We are actively engaged with authorities in relevant jurisdictions and have obtained a number of adopting these standards was as follows:regulatory approvals, including clearance to close in the United States. In October 2019, the European Commission commenced a Phase II investigation in connection with its regulatory review of the transaction, and the transaction is now expected to close in early 2020. If the transaction is not completed due to failure to obtain antitrust approvals, we would be required to pay a termination fee of $100.

Note 3 – 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 per share were as follows:

Note 4 – Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rates were 6.9%(350.6)% and (10.8)% 0.8%for the nine and three months ended September 30, 20182019 and 28.5%6.9% and 29.9%(10.8)% for the same periods in the prior year. The 2018 tax rates in 2019 and 2018 reflect the enactment of the TCJA, which permanently reduced the U.S. corporate statutory rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. The 2018 tax rates also reflect net favorable impacts of the TCJA provisions which effectively apply a lower U.S.federal tax rate toof 21% reduced by tax benefits associated with intangible income derived from serving non-U.S. markets, and research and development credits. Intax credits and excess tax benefits related to share-based payments. Additionally, in the third quarter of 2018, $412 of additionaldiscrete tax benefits were recorded related to the settlement of the 2013-2014 federal tax audit. The 2017 tax rates reflect the 35% statutoryyear to date tax rate reduced byvariance is primarily due to lower pre-tax income in 2019, resulting in larger 2019 discrete tax benefits for research and development credits and U.S. manufacturing activity.
In 2017, in accordance with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, we recorded provisional amounts related to the TCJA, including the remeasurement of our U.S. net deferred tax liabilities and ancillary state tax effects, as well as the repatriation tax. We continue to refine our computation of the repatriation tax and evaluate regulatory guidance, which may result in changes to our tax estimates.rate benefits.
Federal income tax audits have been settled for all years prior to 2015. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is expected to beginbegan the 2015-2017 federal tax audit in the first quarter of 2019. We are also subject to examination in major state and international jurisdictions for the 2001-20162001-2017 tax years. We believe appropriate provisions for all outstanding tax issues have been made for all jurisdictions and all open years.

Audit outcomes and the timing of audit settlements are subject to significant uncertainty. It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months unrecognized tax benefits related to state matters under audit may decrease by up to $445$480 based on current estimates.

We acquire aircraft to be leased to customers through trades, lease returns, purchases in the secondary market, and new aircraft transferred from our Commercial Airplanes segment. Leasing arrangements typically range in terms from 1 to 12 years and may include options to extend or terminate the lease. Certain leases include provisions to allow the lessee to purchase the underlying aircraft at a specified price. A minority of leases contain variable lease payments based on actual aircraft usage and are paid in arrears.
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 September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, we individually evaluated for impairment customer financing receivables of $411$401 and $422,$409, of which $400$388 and $411$398 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 September 30, 2018,2019, our allowance related to receivables with ratings of B, BB and BBB. We applied default rates that averaged 23.9%22.1%, 6.7%5.8% and 0.7%0.6%, 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 could result in asset impairments, reduced finance lease income, and an increase in the allowance for losses. Our customer financing collateral is concentrated in out-of-production aircraft and 747-8 aircraft. Generally, out-of-production aircraft have experienced greater collateral value declines than in-production aircraft.
The majority of customer financing carrying values are concentrated in the following aircraft models:

As part of selected lease transactions, Boeing may provide incentives to commercial customers. At December 31, 2018, Customer Financing included $250 of lease incentives with one customer experiencing liquidity issues. In the first quarter of 2019, we concluded that these lease incentives were impaired and recorded a charge of $250.

Lease income recorded in Revenue on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2019 included $47 and $15 from sales-type/finance leases and $105 and $34 from operating leases, of which $14 and $6 related to variable operating lease payments.
As of September 30, 2019, undiscounted cash flows for sales-type/finance and operating leases over the next five years and thereafter are as follows:

Note 9 – Other Assets
Sea Launch
At September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, Other assets included $295 and $356$244 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. At September 30, 2018,2019, the net amounts owed to Boeing by each of the partners were as follows: S.P. Koroley Rocket and Space Corporation Energia of Russia (RSC Energia) – $162,$111, PO Yuzhnoye Mashinostroitelny Zavod of Ukraine – $89 and KB Yuzhnoye of Ukraine – $44.

In 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. In 2016, the United States District Court for the Central District of California issued a judgment in favor of Boeing. Later that year, we reached an agreement which we believe will enable us to recover the outstanding receivable balance from RSC Energia over the next several years. We continue to pursue collection efforts against the former Ukrainian partners in connection with the court judgment. We 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 from RSC Energia and the Ukrainian Sea Launch partners, we could incur additional charges.
Note 10 – Leases
Our operating lease assets primarily represent manufacturing and research and development facilities, warehouses, and offices. Our finance leases primarily represent computer equipment and are not significant. Total operating lease expense was $241 and $82 for nine and three months ended September 30, 2019, of which $40 and $15 was attributable to variable lease expenses.
For the nine and three months ended September 30, 2019 cash payments against operating lease liabilities totaled $205 and $70 and non-cash transactions totaled $315 and $177 to recognize operating assets and liabilities for new leases.

Note 1011 – Commitments and Contingencies
737 MAX Grounding
On March 13, 2019, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued an order to suspend operations of all 737 MAX aircraft in the U.S. and by U.S. aircraft operators following two fatal 737 MAX accidents. Non-U.S. civil aviation authorities have issued directives to the same effect. We are working closely with the relevant government authorities to support both accident investigations. We are also fully cooperating with other U.S. government investigations related to the accidents. While production continues on the 737 MAX, deliveries have been suspended until clearance is granted by the appropriate regulatory authorities.
We have developed software and training updates for the 737 MAX and continue to work with the FAA and non-U.S. civil aviation authorities to complete remaining steps toward certification and readiness for return to service including addressing their questions on the software changes and how pilots will interact with the airplane controls and displays in different flight scenarios. The FAA and other civil aviation authorities worldwide will determine the timing and conditions of return to service in each relevant jurisdiction. Charges recognized during 2019 associated with the software updates and related pilot training were not material.
Prior to the grounding, Boeing had delivered 387 737 MAX aircraft of which 57 were delivered in the first quarter of 2019. On April 5, 2019, we announced plans to reduce the 737 production rate from 52 aircraft per month to 42 per month effective April 15, 2019. The resulting impacts, which were reflected in the first quarter, increased costs to produce aircraft included in the current accounting quantity by $1,016. Estimated costs to produce aircraft included in the current accounting quantity increased by $1,748 during the second quarter of 2019 and $872 during the third quarter of 2019, primarily to reflect updates to assumptions regarding timing of return to service and timing of planned production rate increases. These increases in the costs to produce aircraft in the current accounting quantity will reduce 737 program and overall BCA segment operating margins in future quarters after deliveries resume. Prior to the grounding, we expected 737 MAX deliveries to approximate 90 percent of total 737 deliveries in 2019 and we had planned to increase the production rate to 57 per month in 2019. In addition to the grounding, the timing of 737 MAX deliveries during the first quarter was adversely affected by delays in the supply chain. We may face additional costs, delays in return to service, and/or further reductions in the production rate. We are continuing to produce at 42 aircraft per month and we will continue to evaluate potential future reductions in the production rate, including a temporary shutdown in 737 production. For example, significant additional regulatory requirements and/or delays in return to service beyond our current assumption could cause customers to cancel or defer orders, which could also cause us to reduce or temporarily cease 737 MAX production. 
The grounding has reduced revenues, operating earnings and cash flows in 2019 and will continue to adversely affect our results until deliveries resume and production rates increase. We are also working with our customers to minimize the impact to their operations. In the second quarter, we recorded an earnings charge of $5,610, net of insurance recoveries of $500, in connection with estimated potential concessions and other considerations to customers for disruptions related to the 737 MAX grounding and associated delivery delays. This charge is reflected in the financial statements as a reduction in revenue, an increase in Other current assets and an increase in Accrued liabilities. During the third quarter of 2019, we collected the anticipated $500 from our insurance carriers and reduced the liability of $6,110 by $252 for payments, concessions and other in-kind considerations agreed to with customers. In addition, we reassessed the liability for estimated potential concessions and other considerations to customers. This reassessment included updating estimates to reflect revised return to service and production rate assumptions, as well as latest information based on engagements with 737 MAX customers. Based on this reassessment, we concluded that no significant adjustments to the recorded liability were required in the third quarter. The liability represents our best estimate of future concessions and other considerations to customers, and is necessarily based on a series of assumptions. While the FAA and other non-U.S. civil aviation authorities will determine the timing and conditions of return to service, we have assumed that regulatory approval of 737 MAX return to service begins in the fourth quarter of 2019. This assumption reflects our best estimate at this time, but actual timing and conditions of return to service could differ from this estimate, the effect of which could be material. In addition, we have assumed that we will gradually increase the 737 production rate from 42 per month to 57 per month by late 2020. Following return to service we expect the 737 MAX

airplanes produced during the grounding and included within inventory will be delivered over several quarters with the majority of them delivering in the first year. We are unable at this time to reasonably estimate potential future additional financial impacts or a range of loss, if any, due to continued uncertainties related to the timing and conditions of return to service, future changes to the production rate, supply chain impacts or the results of negotiations with particular customers. Any such impacts, including any changes in our estimates, could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, and/or cash flows. For example, we expect that, in the event that we are unable to resume aircraft deliveries consistent with our assumptions, the continued absence of revenue, earnings, and cash flows associated with 737 MAX deliveries would continue to have the most material impact on our operating results. In the event that we decide to further reduce the 737 production rate or temporarily cease production, we expect that the growth in inventory and other cash flow impacts associated with production would decrease. However, while any such reduction or cessation of production could mitigate the impact of continued production on our liquidity it could significantly increase the overall expected costs to produce aircraft included in the accounting quantity, which would reduce 737 program margins in the future.
737NG Structure (Pickle Fork)
During the third quarter of 2019, we detected cracks in the "pickle forks," a component of the structure connecting the wings to the fuselages, of three 737-800NGs we were converting into freighters. We notified the FAA, which issued a directive requiring that 737NG airplanes with over 30,000 flight cycles be inspected for this condition by October 10, 2019, and that airplanes with over 22,600 flight cycles be inspected over the next 1,000 flight cycles. To date, all airplanes with over 30,000 flight cycles and approximately one third of planes with over 22,600 flights cycles have been inspected and this condition has been found on a small percentage of aircraft, and those aircraft will be repaired. Additional assessments are underway to determine the cause and potential implications of this condition for airplanes with fewer than 22,600 flight cycles. Depending on the results of these assessments, additional inspections or repairs may be required. Charges recognized in the third quarter in connection with estimated repair costs for aircraft with over 22,600 flight cycles were not material. However, we cannot reasonably estimate potential future financial impacts, if any, due to the ongoing nature of the inspections and repairs and pending the completion of investigations into the cause of the condition.

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 becau

sebecause 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 September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, the high end of the estimated range of reasonably possible remediation costs exceeded our recorded liabilities by $800$1,064 and $868.$796.

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 September 30, 20182019 have expiration dates from 20182019 through 2028.2026. At September 30, 2018,2019, and December 31, 20172018 total contractual trade-in commitments were $1,726$1,421 and $1,462.$1,519. As of September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, we estimated that it was probable we would be obligated to perform on certain of these commitments with net amounts payable to customers totaling $371$723 and $155$522 and the fair value of the related trade-in aircraft was $361$690 and $155.$485.
Financing Commitments
Financing commitments related to aircraft on order, including options and those proposed in sales campaigns, and refinancing of delivered aircraft, totaled $19,744$15,607 and $10,221$19,462 as of September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017.2018. The estimated earliest potential funding dates for these commitments as of September 30, 20182019 are as follows:

As of September 30, 2018, $18,5402019, $15,452 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.
Funding Commitments
We have commitments to make additional capital contributions of $246 to joint ventures over the next eight years.

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 $3,762$3,598 and $3,708$3,761 as of September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017.
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 September 30, 2018, ULA’s total remaining obligation to Boeing under the inventory supply agreement was $120. See Note 5.2018.
United States Government Defense Environment Overview
The Bipartisan Budget Act (BBA) of 2018, passed in February 2018,2019 raised the 2011 Budget Control Act limits on federal discretionary defense and non-defense spending caps for fiscal years 20182020 and 2019 (FY182021 (FY20 and FY19). The consolidated spending bills signed into law in September 2018 provide defenseFY21), reducing budget uncertainty and the risk of sequestration. Although overall funding levels have been agreed to, the timeliness of FY20 funding for FY19, in compliance withgovernment departments and agencies, including the revised caps. These bills also provided FY19 appropriations for mostDepartment of the federal government. The remaining parts of the federal government, includingDefense (DoD), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), were funded withremains a risk. The Continuing Resolution that maintains current(CR), enacted on September 27, 2019, continues federal funding at FY19 appropriations levels through December 7, 2018. IfNovember 21, 2019. Congress is unable to passand the President must enact either full-year FY20 appropriations bills or an additional CR to fund thesegovernment departments and agencies for the remainder of FY19 before the expiration of the current Continuing Resolution,beyond November 21, 2019 in order to prevent a partialfuture government shutdown.
A government shutdown may impact the Company's operations. For example, requirements to furlough employees in the U.S. DoD, the Department of Transportation or other government agencies could result whichin payment delays, impair our ability to perform work on existing contracts, and/or negatively impact future orders. Congress may fund FY20 by passing one or more CRs; however, this could impactrestrict the Company’s operations.execution of certain program activities and delay new programs or competitions.

There continues to be uncertainty with respect to future program-level appropriations for the U.S. DoD and other government agencies, including NASA. The 2011 Budget Control Act continues to mandate limits on U.S. government discretionary spending for fiscal years 2020 and 2021 (FY20 and FY21). The lower budget caps will take effect again in FY20 and FY21 unless Congress acts to raise the spending caps or to repeal or suspend the law. As a result, continued budget uncertainty and the risk of future sequestration cuts remain. Future budget cuts or investment 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 theour results of the Company’s operations, financial position and/or cash flows.

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, USAF KC-46A Tanker, T-7A Red Hawk (formerly T-X Trainer,Trainer), VC-25B Presidential Aircraft, MQ-25, unmanned aerial refueling aircraft, 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, we have recorded reach-forward losses on the KC-46A Tanker in 2018 as well as in prior years, and we continue to have risk for further losses if we experience further production, technical or quality issues, and delays in flight testing, certification and/or delivery.issues. In addition, in the third quarter of 2018, in connection with winning the T-XT-7A Red Hawk and MQ-25 competitions, we recorded a loss of $400 associated with options for 346 T-X TrainerT-7A Red Hawk aircraft and a loss of $291 related to the MQ-25 Engineering, Manufacturing and Development (EMD) contract. Moreover, our 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 U.S. Air Force (USAF) to design, develop, manufacture and deliver four next generation aerial refueling tankers. This 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 two low rate initial production (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. On September 10, 2018, the USAF authorized an additional 18 aircraft valued at $2.9 billion. On September 27, 2019, the USAF authorized an additional LRIP lot for 15 aircraft valued at $2.6 billion.
At September 30, 2018,2019, we had approximately $368$304 of capitalized precontract costs and $1,341$150 of potential termination liabilities to 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.
Note 1112 – 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. The carrying amount of liabilities represents the amount included in Accrued liabilities.

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. See Note 5. ULA has yet to consume $327$30 of inventory associated with sold missions.contributed inventory.
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 certain satellite missions. In 2009, ULA, through its subsidiary United Launch Services, filed a claim and notice of appeal before the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (ASBCA) for a contract adjustment for the price of these missions. In 2016, the ASBCA ruled that ULA is entitled to additional contract pricing for these missions and remanded to the parties to

negotiate appropriate pricing. 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 $280 in pre-tax losses associated with these 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’sULA’s certified claim in May 2012. In 2012, Boeing and ULA, through its subsidiary United Launch Services, filed a suit in the Court of Federal Claims seeking recovery of the deferred support and production costs from the U.S. government, which subsequently 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. The discovery phase of the litigation completed in 2017. Boeing filed a motion for summary judgment for full recovery of its costs on November 17, 2017, askingThe parties have since agreed to engage in alternative dispute resolution, and the court to award full recovery without a trial. The court denied Boeing’s motion on August 29, 2018, holdinghas stayed the litigation pending that a trial is necessary. Boeing has asked the court to allow an immediate appeal of its decision before trial to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.process. 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 BCA 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 10.11.
Credit Guarantees We have issued credit guarantees where we are obligated to make payments to a guaranteed party in the event that the original lessee or debtor does not make payments or perform certain specified services. Generally, these guarantees have been extended on behalf of guaranteed parties with less than investment-grade credit and are collateralized by certain assets. Current outstanding credit guarantees expire through 2036.
Strategic Partnership with Embraer
On July 5, 2018, we and Embraer S.A. (Embraer) announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding to establish a strategic partnership between the two companies. The non-binding agreement proposes the formation of a joint venture comprising the commercial aircraft and services business of Embraer, which joint venture would be owned 80 percent by us. The transaction values 100 percent of Embraer’s commercial aircraft operations at $4.75 billion and contemplates a value of $3.8 billion for our 80 percent ownership stake in the joint venture. We expect to work with Embraer to finalize the financial and operational details of the strategic partnership and negotiate definitive transaction agreements in the coming months. Once definitive transaction agreements have been executed, the transaction would then be subject to shareholder and regulatory approvals, including approval from the Government of Brazil, as well as other customary closing conditions. Assuming approvals are received in a timely manner, we expect that the transaction will close by the end of 2019.

Note 1213 – Debt

Note 1617 – Derivative Financial Instruments
Disclosures reflect the adoption of ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), in the first quarter of 2019. Prior period amounts have not been restated.
Cash Flow Hedges
Our cash flow hedges include foreign currency forward contracts, commodity swaps 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 2024.2025. We use commodity derivatives, such as fixed-price purchase commitments and swaps to hedge against potentially unfavorable price changes for items used in production. Our commodity contracts hedge forecasted transactions through 2021.2023.
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 non-U.S. 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.

Gains/(losses) related to undesignated derivatives on foreign exchange cash flow hedging transactions recognized in Other income were gains of $1 and losses of $1 for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2019 and losses of $2 and $1 for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2018. Forward points related to foreign exchange cash flow hedging transactions recognized in Other income were gains of $5 and $0 for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2018.
Based on our portfolio of cash flow hedges, we expect to reclassify losses of $1615 (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 nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017.
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 September 30, 20182019 was $1742. At September 30, 2018,2019, there was no collateral posted related to our derivatives.

Note 1718 – 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 nine months ended September 30 due to long-lived asset impairment and the fair value and asset classification of the related assets as of the impairment date:

Investments, and Property, plant and equipment and Acquired intangible assets were primarily valued using an income approach based on the discounted cash flows associated with the underlying assets. 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.
For Level 3 assets that were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, 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 values of 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, Unbilled receivables, 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 September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017.2018. 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 1819 – 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. Where it is reasonably possible that we will incur losses in excess of recorded amounts in connection with any of the matters set forth below, we will disclose either the amount or range of reasonably possible losses in excess of such amounts or, where no such amount or range can be reasonably estimated, the reasons why no such estimate can be made.
Multiple legal actions have been filed against us as a result of the October 29, 2018 accident of Lion Air Flight 610 and the March 10, 2019 accident of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302. Further, we are fully cooperating with all ongoing governmental and regulatory investigations and inquiries relating to the accidents and the 737 MAX. We cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss, if any, not covered by available insurance that may result given the ongoing status of these lawsuits, investigations, and inquiries.
Note 1920 – Segment and Revenue Information
Effective at the beginning of 2019, all revenues and costs associated with military derivative aircraft production are reported in the BDS segment. Revenues and costs associated with military derivative aircraft production were previously reported in the BCA and BDS segments. Business segment data for 2018 reflects the realignment for military derivative aircraft, as well as the realignment of certain programs from BDS to BGS.
Our primary profitability measurements to review a segment’s operating results are Earnings from operations and operating margins. We operate in four4 reportable segments: BCA, BDS, BGS, and BCC. All other activities fall within Unallocated items, eliminations and other. See page 67 for the Summary of Business Segment Data, which is an integral part of this note.
BCA develops, produces and markets commercial jet aircraft principally to the commercial airline industry worldwide. Revenue on commercial aircraft contracts is recognized at the point in time when an aircraft is completed and accepted by the customer. Revenue on certain military derivative aircraft contracts is recognized over time as costs are incurred.
BDS is engagedengages in the research, development, production and modification of the following products and related services: manned and unmanned military aircraft and weapons systems, surveillance and engagement, strategic defense and intelligence systems, satellite systems and space exploration. BDS revenue is generally recognized over the contract term (over time) as costs are incurred.
BGS provides parts, maintenance, modifications, logistics support, training, data analytics and information-based services to commercial and government customers worldwide. BGS segment revenue and costs include certain services provided to other segments. Revenue on commercial spare parts contracts is recognized at the point in time when a spare part is delivered to the customer. Revenue on other contracts is generally recognized over the contract term (over time) as costs are incurred.

BCC facilitates, arranges, structures and provides selective financing solutions for our Boeing customers.
The following tables present BCA, BDS and BGS revenues from contracts with customers disaggregated in a number of ways, such as geographic location, contract type and the method of revenue recognition. We believe these best depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Backlog
Our total backlog represents the estimated transaction prices on performance obligations to our customers for which work remains to be performed. Backlog is converted into revenue in future periods as work is performed, primarily based on the cost incurred or at delivery and acceptance of products, depending on the applicable accounting method.
Our backlog at September 30, 20182019 was $491,179.$470,225. We expect approximately 24%26% to be converted to revenue through 20192020 and approximately 69%72% through 2022,2023, with the remainder thereafter.

Unallocated Items, Eliminations and other
Unallocated items, eliminations and other include common internal services that support Boeing’s global business operations, intercompany guarantees provided to BCC and eliminations of certain sales between segments. Such sales include airplanes accounted for as operating leases and considered transferred to the BCC segment. We generally allocate costs to business segments based on the U.S. federal cost accounting standards. Components of Unallocated items, eliminations and other are shown in the following table.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Expense
Pension costs, comprising GAAP service and prior service costs, are allocated to BCA and the commercial operations at BGS. Pension costs are allocated to BDS and BGS businesses supporting government customers 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. FAS/CAS service cost adjustment represents the difference between the FAS pension and postretirement service costs calculated under GAAP and costs allocated to the business segments. Non-operating pension and postretirement expenses represent the components of net periodic benefit costs other than service cost. These expenses are included in Other income net.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
The Boeing Company
Chicago, Illinois
Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position of The Boeing Company and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2018,2019, the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, and comprehensive income, and equity for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, and of cash flows and equity for the nine-month periodsnine months ended September 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, and the related notes and schedules (collectively referred to as the "condensed consolidated interim financial information"). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial information for it 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) (PCAOB), the consolidated statement of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017,2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows, and equity for the year then ended prior to retrospective adjustment for changes in the Company’s method of accounting for (i) revenue from contracts with customers and (ii) reclassification of certain tax effects from Accumulated other comprehensive income (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 12, 2018,8, 2019, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. We also auditedstatements and included an explanatory paragraph related to the adjustments presentedCompany’s change in Note 2 - Impactmethod of Adoption of New Standards that were applied to retrospectively adjust the December 31, 2017 consolidated statement of financial position.accounting for revenue from contracts with customers. In our opinion, such adjustments are appropriate and have been properly applied to the previously issued consolidated statement of financial positioninformation set forth in deriving the accompanying retrospectively adjusted condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2017.2018, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated statement of financial position from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
This condensed consolidated interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. 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 PCAOB, 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.

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 increased2019 decreased by $3,551$14,138 million compared with the same period in 2017, driven by higher revenue in three segments.2018.

The net periodic pension benefit cost forsecond quarter of 2018, we recorded a charge of $148 million related to the nine and three months ended September 30, 2018 was largely consistent with the same periods in 2017. The costs in 2018 reflect higher amortization of actuarial losses driven by lower discount rates of 3.6% at December 31, 2017 compared with 4.0% at December 31, 2016. In addition, the costs in 2018 reflect lower interest costs and improved expected returns, as a resultoutcome of the higher value of plan assets at December 31, 2017 compared to 2016.Spirit litigation.

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 BCA segment predominantly uses program accounting to account for cost of sales. 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. For long-term contracts, the amount reported as cost of sales is recognized as incurred. Substantially all contracts at our BDS segment, certain military derivative aircraft contracts at BCABDS segment and certain contracts at our BGS segment are long-term contracts with the U.S. government and other customers that generally extend over several years. Costs on these contracts are recorded as incurred. Cost of sales for commercial spare parts is recorded at average cost.

Contractual backlog of unfilled orders excludes purchase options, announced orders for which definitive contracts have not been executed, and unobligated U.S. and non-U.S. government contract funding. The increasedecrease during the nine months ended September 30, 20182019 was primarily due to BDSBCA deliveries in excess of new orders and funding fora reduction in backlog related to orders from a customer experiencing liquidity issues, partially offset by BDS current year contract awards in excess of deliveries and revenue recognized.recognized on contracts awarded in prior years.
Unobligated backlog includes U.S. and non-U.S. government definitive contracts for which funding has not been authorized. The increasedecrease during the nine months ended September 30, 20182019 was primarily due to contract awards, partially offset by reclassifications to contractual backlog related to BGS and BDS and BGS contracts.
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. In 2015, we began work on low rate initial production (LRIP) aircraft for the USAF. In 2016, following our achievement of key flight testing milestones, the USAF authorized two LRIP lots for 7 and 12 aircraft valued at $2.8 billion and in 2017, the USAF authorized an additional LRIP lot for 15 aircraft valued at $2.1 billion. On September 10, 2018, the USAF authorized an additional 18 aircraft valued at $2.9 billion. The contract contains production options for both LRIP aircraft and full rate production aircraft. 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 EMD contract is currently in the certification and flight testing phases and we expect deliveries to begin in the fourth quarter of 2018.

During 2017, we recorded reach-forward losses of $445 million related to this program, primarily reflecting higher estimated costs associated with certification and incorporating changes into LRIP aircraft. In the first quarter of 2018, we recorded additional reach-forward losses of $81 million primarily reflecting higher estimated costs associated with certification and continued flight testing. In the second quarter of 2018, we recorded further reach-forward losses of $426 million, primarily reflecting higher estimated costs associated with change incorporation on six flight test and two early build aircraft. The additional rework required for the flight test and early build aircraft was identified during the second quarter upon completion of engineering and configuration studies. In addition, delays in certification and testing have resulted in higher costs and increased rework for both completed and in-production aircraft. In the third quarter of 2018, we recorded additional reach-forward losses of $179 million due to higher than expected effort to meet customer requirements in order to support delivery of the initial aircraft, as well as due to further delays in certification and testing.
As with any development program, this program remains subject to additional reach-forward losses and/or delivery delays if we experience further production, technical or quality issues, and delays in flight testing, certification and/or delivery.
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, from the time of that reauthorization until May 8, 2019, when the U.S. Senate confirmsconfirmed members sufficient to reconstituteconstitute a quorum of the bank’s board of directors, the bank willwas not be able to approve any transaction totaling more than $10 million. AsThe bank is authorized through November 21, 2019.
If the bank's charter is not reauthorized on a result,timely basis, or if the bank’s future funding authority is insufficient to meet our customers’ needs, 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.

Global TradeOn In June 1, 2018, the U.S. Government began imposing tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. In response to these tariffs, several major U.S. trading partners have imposed, or announced their intention to impose, tariffs on U.S. goods. In May 2019, the U.S. Government, Mexico and Canada reached an agreement to end the steel and aluminum tariffs between these countries. We continue to monitor this agreement and the potential for any extra costs that may result from these actions.the remaining global tariffs.
OnIn July 6, 2018, the U.S. and China began imposing tariffs on approximately $34 billion of each other's exports. Certain aircraft parts and components that Boeing procures are subject to these tariffs. Subsequently, the U.S. imposed tariffs on an additional $216 billion in tariffs on Chinese goods, and China imposed tariffs on an additional $76 billion worth of tariffsU.S goods. Negotiations to resolve the trade dispute are currently ongoing.
The continued global trade tension has resulted in market uncertainties and fewer orders than anticipated for our commercial aircraft. In the third quarter of 2019, we decided to reduce the production rate on U.S goods.the 787 program for approximately two years beginning in late 2020. We continue to monitor the potential for additional disruption and adverse revenue and/or cost impacts that may result from these actionsglobal trade tension including, the potential imposition of further tariffs, or other future geopolitical economic developments.
The U.S. Government continues to impose and/or threaten to imposeconsider imposing sanctions on certain businesses and individuals in Russia. Although our operations or sales in Russia have not been impacted to date, we continue to monitor additional sanctions that may be imposed by the U.S. Government and any responses from Russia that could affect our supply chain, business partners or customers.

Loss/Earnings From Operations
EarningsLoss from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $3,813 million compared with earnings from operations of $5,230 million in the same period in 2018. This decrease of $9,043 million is primarily due to the earnings charge for the 737 MAX grounding of $5,610 million and lower 737 deliveries, partially offset by higher 787 margins.
Loss from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2018 increased by $1,510 million and $5102019 was $40 million compared with earnings from operations of $2,033 million in the same periodsperiod in 20172018. This decrease of $2,073 million is primarily due due to lower 737 deliveries, partially offset by higher 787 margins and improved cost performance.
During the nine and three months ended September 30, 2018, Commercial Airplanes recorded reach-forward losses of $471 million and $112 million related The 737 MAX grounding will continue to the KC-46A Tanker program. During the nine and three months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded reach-forward losses of $374 million and $256 million.

Backlog
Our total backlog represents the estimated transaction prices on unsatisfied and partially satisfied performance obligations to our customers where we believe it is probable that we will collect the consideration due and where no contingencies remain before we and the customer are required to perform. Backlog does not include prospective orders where customer controlled contingencies remain, such as the customer receiving approval from its board of directors, shareholders or government or completing financing arrangements. All such contingencies must be satisfied or have expired prior to recording a new firm order even if satisfying such conditions is highly certain. Backlog excludes options and BCC orders. A number of our customers may have contractual remedies that may be implicated by program delays. We address customer claims and requests for other contractual relief as they arise. The value of orders in backlog is adjusted as changes to price and schedule are agreed to with customers and is reported in accordance with the requirements of Topic 606.
BCA total backlog increaseddecreased from $410,526$408,140 million as of December 31, 20172018 to $413,064$387,397 million at September 30, 20182019 primarily due to ordersdeliveries in excess of deliveries.new orders and a reduction in backlog related to orders from a customer experiencing liquidity issues. While the 737 MAX grounding has not resulted in significant order cancellations, we are experiencing fewer new 737 MAX orders than we were receiving prior to the grounding.

Program Highlights
737 Program The accounting quantity forSee the discussion of the 737 program increased by 200 units during the first quarter of 2018MAX Grounding and 200 units during the second quarter of 2018 due737NG Structure (Pickle Fork) in Note 11 and 19 to the program’s normal progress of obtaining additional orders and delivering airplanes. We delivered the first 737 MAX 9 in March 2018. The production rate increased from 47 per month to 52 per month in the second quarter of 2018. Deliveries in the third quarter were adversely affected by delays in the supply chain. We continue to plan to increase the production rate to 57 per month in 2019. our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
747 Program In the first quarter of 2018, we received firm orders for 14 aircraft and weWe are currently producing at a rate of 0.5 aircraft per month. We continue to evaluate the viability of the 747 program and it is reasonably possibleprogram. We believe that we could decidea decision to end production of the 747 at the end of the current accounting quantity would not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows..

767 Program The accounting quantity for the 767 program increased by 24 units during the first quarter of 2018 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 are currently producing at a rate of 2.5 per month and plan to increase to 3 per month in 2020.
777 Program The accounting quantity for the 777 program increased by 2510 units during the second quarter of 2018three months ended June 30, 2019 due to the program’s normal progress of obtaining additional orders and delivering airplanes. We are currently producing at a rate of 5 per month. In 2013, we launched the 777X, which features a new composite wing, new engines and folding wing-tips. We have experienced issues in engine design and development on the 777X and have delayed first flight to early 2020, with first delivery now targeted for early 2021. The 777 and 777X programs have a combined production rate of 5 per month. We plan to produce more 777 models and fewer 777X models in the near term than previously planned. We expect to deliver at an average rate of 3 per month in 2020. The 777X will have a separate program accounting quantity, which will be determined in the year of first airplane delivery, targeted for 2020.delivery.
787 Program The accounting quantity forAt the 787 program increased by 100 units duringend of the secondfirst quarter of 2018 due to2019, we increased the program’s normal progress of obtaining additional orders and delivering airplanes. We are currently producing at aproduction rate offrom 12 per month and plan to increase to 14 per month in 2019.month. We delivered the first 787-10 in March 2018. Continued global trade tension has resulted in market uncertainties and fewer orders than anticipated. During the third quarter of 2019, we decided to reduce the 787 production rate to 12 per month for approximately two years beginning in late 2020.

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 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 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 Bipartisan Budget Act (BBA) of 2018, passed in February 2018,2019 raised the 2011 Budget Control Act limits on federal discretionary defense and non-defense spending caps for fiscal years 20182020 and 2019 (FY182021 (FY20 and FY19). The consolidated spending bills signed into law in September 2018 provide defenseFY21), reducing budget uncertainty and the risk of sequestration. Although overall funding levels have been agreed to, the timeliness of FY20 funding for FY19, in compliance withgovernment departments and agencies, including the revised caps. These bills also provided FY19 appropriations for mostDepartment of the federal government. The remaining parts of the federal government, includingDefense (DoD), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), were funded withremains a risk. The Continuing Resolution that maintains current(CR), enacted on September 27, 2019, continues federal funding at FY19 appropriations levels through December 7, 2018. IfNovember 21, 2019. Congress is unable to passand the President must enact either full-year FY20 appropriations bills or an additional CR to fund thesegovernment departments and agencies for the remainder of FY19 before the expiration of the current Continuing Resolution,beyond November 21, 2019 in order to prevent a partialfuture government shutdown.
A government shutdown may impact the Company's operations. For example, requirements to furlough employees in the U.S. DoD, the Department of Transportation or other government agencies could result whichin payment delays, impair our ability to perform work on existing contracts, and/or negatively impact future orders. Congress may fund FY20 by passing one or more CRs; however, this could impactrestrict the Company’s operations.execution of certain program activities and delay new programs or competitions.
There continues to be uncertainty with respect to future program-level appropriations for the U.S. DoD and other government agencies, including NASA. The 2011 Budget Control Act continues to mandate limits on

U.S. government discretionary spending for fiscal years 2020 and 2021 (FY20 and FY21). The lower budget caps will take effect again in FY20 and FY21 unless Congress acts to raise the spending caps or to repeal or suspend the law. As a result, continued budget uncertainty and the risk of future sequestration cuts remain. Future budget cuts or investment 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 theour results of the Company’s operations, financial position and/or cash flows.

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 period 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.

Backlog
Total backlog increased from $44,049$61,277 million at December 31, 20172018 to $57,875$61,740 million at September 30, 20182019 primarily due to current year contract awards in all our programs greater than revenue recognized. Significant orders included Government Satellites, Ground-based Midcourse Defense, VC-25B Presidential Aircraft,including F/A-18 fighters, V-22 Osprey, T-X TrainerP-8A Poseidon, KC-46A Tanker, and MQ-25 unmanned aerial refueling aircraft.E-7 Airborne Early Warning & Control, partially offset by revenue recognized on contracts awarded in prior years.
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, Proprietary and Space Launch System programs.
Some of our development programs are contracted on a fixed-price basis and BDS customers are increasingly seeking fixed priced proposals for new programs. Examples of significant fixed-price development programs include Commercial Crew, Saudi F-15, USAF KC-46A Tanker, T-7A Red Hawk (formerly T-X Trainer,Trainer), VC-25B Presidential Aircraft, MQ-25, unmanned aerial refueling aircraft, and commercial and military satellites. New programs could also have risk for reach-forward loss upon contract award and during the period of contract performance. In the third quarter of 2018, we were awarded contracts to develop the T-X TrainerT-7A Red Hawk aircraft with complementary devices and the MQ-25 unmanned aerial refueling aircraft.MQ-25. We recorded orders of $1,618 million and recognized losses of $691 million associated with these contracts. Many development 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.
KC-46A Tanker SeeIn 2011, we were awarded a contract from the discussionU.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. In 2015, we began work on low rate initial production (LRIP) aircraft for the USAF. In 2016, following our achievement of key flight testing milestones, the USAF authorized two LRIP lots for 7 and 12 aircraft valued

at $2.8 billion and in 2017, the USAF authorized an additional LRIP lot for 15 aircraft valued at $2.1 billion. On September 10, 2018, the USAF authorized an additional LRIP lot for 18 aircraft valued at $2.9 billion. On September 27, 2019, the USAF authorized an additional LRIP lot for 15 aircraft valued at $2.6 billion. The contract contains production options for both LRIP aircraft and full rate production aircraft. If all options under the contract are exercised, we expect to deliver 179 aircraft for a total expected contract value of approximately $30 billion.
During 2018, we recorded additional reach-forward losses of $736 million primarily reflecting higher estimated costs associated with certification, flight testing and change incorporation on aircraft, as well as higher than expected effort to meet customer requirements in order to support delivery of the KC-46A Tankerinitial aircraft.
As with any development program, on page 42.

this program remains subject to additional reach-forward losses if we experience further production, technical or quality issues.
United Launch Alliance See the discussion of Indemnifications to ULA and Financing Commitments in Notes 5, 1011 and 1112 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Sea Launch See the discussion of the Sea Launch receivables in Note 9 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Commercial Crew See the discussion of Fixed-Price Development Contracts in Note 1011 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
T-X TrainerT-7A Red Hawk In September 2018, we were selected by the U.S. Air Force to build the next generation training capability, known as T-X.T-7A Red Hawk (formerly T-X Trainer). The program includes aircraft and simulators as well as support and ground equipment. The contract is structured as an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) fixed-price contract with a minimum of 206 aircraft and a maximum of 475 aircraft. The EMD contract is a fixed-price contract valued at $813 million and includes five aircraft and seven simulators, with a period of performance that runs through 2022. The production and support contracts are structured as options that begin with authorization from fiscal year 2022 to 2034. In connection with winning this competition, we recorded a reach-forward loss of $400 million associated with anticipated losses on the options for 346 aircraft that we believe are probable of being exercised. We believe that our investment in this contract positions us for additional market opportunities for both trainer and light attack aircraft.
MQ-25 Unmanned Aerial Refueling Aircraft In August 2018, we were awarded an EMD contract to build the MQ-25 unmanned aerial refueling aircraft for the U.S. Navy. The EMD contract is a fixed-price contract that includes development and delivery of four aircraft and test articles at a contract price of $805 million. In connection with winning this competition, we recognized a reach-forward loss of $291 million. The period of performance runs from 2018 through 2024. The MQ-25 is the U.S. Navy’s first operational carrier-based unmanned aircraft, and we believe that our investment in this contract positions us for long-term leadership in autonomy and artificial intelligence technologies along with additional market opportunities.

At September 30, 2018, BCC had $67 million of assets that were held for sale or re-lease. In addition, aircraft subject to leases with a carrying value of approximately $48 million are scheduled to be returned off lease in the next 12 months. We are seeking to remarket these aircraft or have the leases extended.new volume.
BCC enters into certain transactions with Boeing, reflected in Unallocated items, eliminations and other, in the form of intercompany guarantees and other subsidies that mitigate the effects of certain credit quality or asset impairment issues on the BCC segment. The $250 million impairment of lease incentives did not result in an earnings charge in the BCC segment because of an intercompany guarantee.
Aircraft subject to leases with a carrying value of approximately $101 million are scheduled to be returned off lease in the next 12 months. We are seeking to remarket these aircraft or have the leases extended.

Operating Activities Net cash providedused by operating activities was $12.4$0.2 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2018,2019, compared with $10.4cash provided of $12.4 billion during the same period in 2017.2018. The year-over-year improvementdecrease in operating cash flows compared with the same period in 2018 primarily reflects the impacts of

the 737 MAX grounding that is resulting in higher earningsinventory, the lack of delivery payments and lower spending on inventory, partially offset by lower advances. Advancesadvances and progress billings increasedpayments. The reduction in net earnings from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with the same period in 2018, is primarily due to the $5.6 billion charge in the second quarter of 2019 for estimated potential concessions and other considerations to 737 MAX customers, which did not affect cash flows, and lower 737 deliveries. Cash used by $3.5 billion and $4.7Inventory was $9.6 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 20182019, primarily due to the suspension of 737 MAX deliveries, which resulted in higher commercial airplane program inventory as we continue to produce 737 MAX aircraft at a rate of 42 per month.

Investing Activities Cash used by investing activities was $2.2$2.0 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2018,2019, compared with $1.6$2.2 billion during the same period in 2017,2018, primarily due to the timing oflower net contributions to investments and an acquisition during the third quarter of 2018.higher proceeds from property sales in 2019, partially offset by higher cash paid for acquisitions and capital expenditures in 2019. In the nine months ended September 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, capital expenditures totaled $1.2$1.4 billion and $1.3$1.2 billion. We expect capital expenditures in 20182019 to be higher than 2017.consistent with 2018.
Financing Activities Cash usedprovided by financing activities was $10.9$4.3 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with $9.1cash used of $10.9 billion during the same period in 2017,2018, primarily reflecting higher net borrowings and lower share repurchases, andpartially offset by higher dividend payments.payments in 2019. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018,2019, new borrowings net borrowings decreased toof repayments increased by $10.6 billion compared with an increase of $0.7 billion from $0.8 billion in the same period in 2017.2018.
At September 30, 2018,2019, the recorded balance of debt was $11.9$24.7 billion, of which $1.4$4.4 billion was classified as short-term. Debt, including intercompany loans, attributable to BCC totaled $2.5$1.9 billion, all of which $0.7 billion was classified as long-term.short-term.
During the nine months ended September 30, 20182019 we repurchased 24.56.9 million shares totaling $8.4$2.7 billion through our open market share repurchase program. In addition, 0.70.6 million shares were transferred to us from employees for tax withholdings. Share repurchases during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 totaled $8.4 billion. At September 30, 2018,2019, the amount available under the share repurchase plan, announced on December 11, 2017,17, 2018, totaled $9.6$17.3 billion.Share repurchases under this plan are currently suspended.
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 serves as a source of short-term liquidity. At September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 20172018 commercial paper borrowings totaling $600totaled $2,990 million were supported by unused commitments under the revolving credit agreement.and $1,895 million. Currently, we have $5.0$6.6 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 $19.7$15.6 billion and $10.2$19.5 billion at September 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017.The increase2018. The decrease primarily relates to commercial airplane orders received in 2018.financing commitment expirations. 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 aircrafthave financed 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, from the time of that reauthorization until May 8, 2019, when the U.S. Senate confirmsconfirmed members sufficient to reconstituteconstitute a quorum of the bank’s board of directors, the bank willwas not be able to approve any transaction totaling more than $10 million. AsThe bank is authorized through November 21, 2019. If the bank's charter is not reauthorized on a result,timely basis, or if the bank’s future funding authority is insufficient to meet our customers’ needs, 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.
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, including impacts related to the 737 MAX grounding, 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 or in the debt markets.
At September 30, 2018,2019, 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 1112 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 1819 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Environmental Remediation We are involved with various environmental remediation activities and have recorded a liability of $568$582 million at September 30, 2018.2019. For additional information, see Note 1011 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, and core operating margin and core earnings per share exclude the FAS/CAS service cost adjustment. The FAS/CAS service cost adjustment represents the difference between the FAS pension and postretirement service costs calculated under GAAP and costs allocated to the business segments. Core earnings per share excludes both the FAS/CAS service cost adjustment and non-operating pension and postretirement expenses. Non-operating pension and postretirement expenses represent the components of net periodic benefit costs other than service cost. Pension costs, comprising service and prior service costs computed in accordance with GAAP are allocated to BCA and certain BGS businesses supporting commercial customers. Pension costs allocated to BDS and BGS businesses supporting government customers 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 Pension FAS/CAS service cost adjustmentsadjustment recognized in earnings were benefitswas a benefit of $780$823 million and $260$274 million for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2018, largely consistent2019, compared with the benefitsa benefit of $811$780 million and $271$260 million during the same periods in 2017.2018. The non-operating pension expensesexpense included in Other income net were benefitswas a benefit of $98$280 million and $50$93 million for the nine and three months ended September 30, 20182019 compared with $88$98 million and $26$50 million for the same periods in 2017.2018. The benefits in 20182019 reflect lower amortization of actuarial losses driven by higher discount rates. This is partially offset by higher interest costs and improvedlower expected returns, as a result of the higherlower value of plan assets at December 31, 20172018 compared to 2016. These are partially offset by higher amortization of actuarial losses driven by lower discount rates.2017.
For further discussion of pension and other postretirement costs see the Management’s Discussion and Analysis on page 4039 of this Form 10-Q and on page 4345 of our 20172018 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.

Section 219737 MAX Grounding
On March 13, 2019, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued an order to suspend operations of all 737 MAX aircraft in the U.S. and by U.S. aircraft operators following two fatal 737 MAX accidents. Non-U.S. civil aviation authorities have issued directives to the same effect. The grounding is having a significant adverse impact on our operations and creates significant uncertainty.
Multiple legal actions have been filed against us as a result of the Iran Threat ReductionOctober 29, 2018 accident of Lion Air Flight 610 and Syria Human Rights Actthe March 10, 2019 accident of 2012Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302. Further, we are fully cooperating with all ongoing governmental and Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”), require disclosure of certain activities, transactions or dealingsregulatory investigations and inquiries relating to Iran that occurred during the periodaccidents and the 737 MAX. We cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss, if any, not covered by this report. Disclosure is required even ifavailable insurance that may result given the activities, transactions ongoing status of these lawsuits, investigations, and inquiries. We have also experienced claims and/or dealings were conductedassertions from customers in compliance with applicable law. In connection with the U.S. withdrawalgrounding.

In the preparation of our financial statements, we have made assumptions regarding outcomes of accident investigations, timing and conditions of return to service, timing of future 737 production rate increases, supplier readiness to support production rate changes, timing and sequence of future customer deliveries as well as outcomes of negotiations with customers impacted by the grounding. While these assumptions reflect our best estimate at this time, they are highly uncertain and significantly affect the estimates inherent in our financial statements.
The 737 MAX grounding also affects projected revenues and costs associated with the 737 program accounting quantity. As a result of the grounding, we have reduced the 737 production rate from 52 per month to 42 per month and continue to evaluate further reductions in production rate, including a temporary shutdown in 737 production. Prior to the Joint Comprehensive Plangrounding, we had planned to increase the production rate to 57 per month in 2019. The FAA and other non-U.S. civil aviation authorities will determine the timing and conditions of Action (Iran Nuclear Agreement),the 737 MAX’s return to service. At September 30, 2019, we engagedhave assumed that regulatory approval of 737 MAX return to service begins in activitiesthe fourth quarter of 2019. We have further assumed a gradual increase in the production rate from 42 per month to 57 per month by late 2020, and that deliveries of 737 MAX airplanes produced during the thirdgrounding and included within inventory will be delivered over several quarters with the majority of them delivering in the first year. The resulting impacts increased estimated costs to produce aircraft included in the current accounting quantity by $3,636 million and $872 million in the nine and three months ended September 30, 2019. These increases in the costs to produce aircraft in the current accounting quantity will reduce 737 program and overall BCA segment operating margins in future quarters after deliveries resume. If the timing and conditions surrounding a return to service differ from our assumptions, it could have a material effect on our financial statements.
We recorded an earnings charge of $5,610 million, net of insurance recoveries of $500 million, in the second quarter that were requiredin connection with an estimate of potential concessions and other considerations to unwind and terminate all agreements with Iranian airlines entered into priorcustomers for disruptions related to the withdrawal. These activities were authorized737 MAX grounding and associated delivery delays. This charge represents our current best estimate of future concessions and other considerations we expect to provide to customers. This estimate relies on the exercise of judgment by management and is significantly impacted by the assumptions described above, as well as the status of negotiations with our customers. Any delays in return to service, further disruptions to our production system, supplier claims or assertions, or changes to estimated concessions and other considerations we expect to provide to customers could have a license from the U.S. Officematerial adverse effect on our financial position, results of Foreign Assets Control, and generated no revenues operations, and/or profits.

Currently, we are involved in a number of legal proceedings. For a discussion of contingencies related to legal proceedings, see Note 1819 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes in ourCertain risks described below update the risk factors from those disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018.
The 737 MAX fleet is currently grounded, and we are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties related to the timing and conditions surrounding the aircraft’s return to service, including potential future reductions to the production rate and/or additional delivery delays, as well as risks associated with assumptions and estimates made in our financial statements regarding the 737 program.

On March 13, 2019, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued an order to suspend operations of all 737 MAX aircraft in the U.S. and by U.S. aircraft operators following two fatal 737 MAX accidents. Non-U.S. civil aviation authorities have issued directives to the same effect. We are working closely with the relevant government authorities to support both accident investigations and are fully cooperating with other U.S. government investigations related to the accidents. Multiple legal actions have also been filed against us as a result of the accidents. While production continues on the 737 MAX, deliveries have been suspended until clearance is granted by the appropriate regulatory authorities. The grounding has reduced revenues, operating margins, and cash flows, and will continue to do so until deliveries resume and production rates increase. In connection with the effort to return the 737 MAX to service, we have developed software updates for the 737 MAX, together with an associated pilot training and supplementary education program. We continue to work with the FAA and non-U.S. civil aviation authorities to complete remaining steps toward certification and readiness for return to service, including addressing their questions on the software updates and how pilots will interact with the airplane controls and displays in different flight scenarios. The FAA and other civil aviation authorities worldwide will determine the timing and conditions of return to service in each relevant jurisdiction. Any unanticipated delays in certification and/or return to service or other liabilities associated with the accidents or grounding could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, and/or cash flows.
On April 5, 2019, we announced plans to reduce the 737 production rate from 52 aircraft per month to 42 per month effective April 15, 2019. In addition to being unable to deliver completed aircraft until the required certifications are obtained, impacts related to the reduced production rate have increased costs to produce aircraft included in the current accounting quantity and will result in reduced 737 program and overall BCA segment operating margins when deliveries resume. If we are unable to return the 737 MAX aircraft to service in one or more jurisdictions or begin deliveries to customers in a timely manner, we would incur additional costs and/or further reduce the 737 production rate. In addition, unanticipated delays in certification and/or return to service of the 737 MAX in one or more jurisdictions could result in significant additional disruption to the 737 production system, including further reductions in the production rate and/or a temporary shutdown in 737 production, delaying efforts to restore and/or implement previously planned increases in the 737 production rate. Cash flows could also be negatively impacted through a combination of delayed payments from customers and higher costs and inventory levels. In addition, we have experienced claims and assertions from customers in connection with the grounding, and we recorded an earnings charge of $5,610, net of insurance recoveries of $500, in the second quarter in connection with an estimate of potential concessions and other considerations to customers for disruptions related to the grounding and associated delivery delays. Any such delays in return to service, further disruptions to our production system, supplier claims or assertions, or changes to estimated concessions or other considerations we expect to provide to customers could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, and/or cash flows. The FAA and other civil aviation authorities worldwide will determine the timing and conditions of return to service in each relevant jurisdiction. However, we have assumed that regulatory approval of 737 MAX return to service

begins in the fourth quarter of 2019. This assumption reflects our best estimate at this time based on factors such as the estimated duration of the certification process. In the event of unanticipated additional training requirements in one or more jurisdictions, delays in the certification process, and/or delays in return to service, we may be required to take actions with longer-term impact, such as further production rate changes, employment reductions and/or the expenditure of significant resources to support our supply chain and/or customers.
As with our other commercial aircraft programs, we have made significant estimates with respect to the 737 program regarding the number of units to be produced, the period during which those units are likely to be produced, and the units’ expected sales prices, production costs, program tooling and other non-recurring costs, and routine warranty costs. In addition to the estimated timing of return to service, we have made assumptions regarding outcomes of accident investigations, timing of future 737 production rate increases, timing and sequence of future deliveries, as well as outcomes of negotiations with customers. Any changes in these estimates and/or assumptions with respect to the 737 program could have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, and/or cash flows.
