Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in millions, except otherwise stated)
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements included in this report have been prepared by management of The Boeing Company (herein referred to as “Boeing”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation are reflected in the interim financial statements. The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 20202021 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 20192020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain amounts in prior periods have been adjusted to conform with the current year presentation.
Liquidity Matters
The global outbreak of COVID-19 coupled withand residual impacts from the ongoing grounding of the 737 MAX airplane isin 2019 are having a significant adverse impact on our business and isare expected to significantly reducecontinue to negatively impact revenue, earnings, and operating cash flow in future quarters. The aerospace industry is facingCOVID-19 pandemic has caused an unprecedented shock to demand for air travel, which createscreating a tremendous challenge for our customers, our business, and the entire aerospace manufacturing and services sector. We currentlycontinue to expect it will take approximately three years forcommercial air travel to return to 2019 levels andin 2023 to 2024. We expect it will take a few years beyond that for the industry to return to long-term trend growth. There is significant uncertainty with respect to when commercial air traffic levels will recover, and whether and at what point capacity will return to and/or exceed pre-COVID-19 levels.
During the first halfsix months of 2020,2021, net cash used by operating activities was $9.6 billion$3.9 billion. Our operating cash flows continue to be impacted by lower commercial airplane deliveries and weincreases in commercial airplane inventory. We expect negative operating cash flows in future quarters until commercial deliveries ramp up. In the first quarter of 2020, we entered into and fully drew on a $13.8 billion two-year delayed draw term loan credit agreement (delayed draw term loan facility). In the second quarter of 2020,2021, we issued $25$9.8 billion of fixed rate senior notes that mature between 2023 and 2060.2026. We used the net proceeds of these note issuances to repay $9.8 billion outstanding under our two-year delayed draw term loan credit agreement. The remaining $4.0 billion of our two-year delayed draw term loan matures in February 2022. As a result, our cash and short-term investment balance has increased to $32.4 billion and our debt balance has increased to $61.4was $21.3 billion at June 30, 2020.
The major credit rating agencies downgraded our short term and long term credit ratings during the first half of 2020, and there is risk for further downgrades. At June 30, 2020, debt includes $2.4 billion of commercial paper2021, down from $6.1$25.6 billion at December 31, 2019. Commercial paper2020, while our debt balance was $63.6 billion at June 30, 20202021, unchanged from December 31, 2020. Short-term debt and the current portion of long-term debt increased to $6.5 billion at June 30, 2021, up from $1.7 billion at December 31, 2020. The current portion of long term debt includes $0.5 billion and $1.9term notes of $1.5 billion maturing in the thirdsecond half of 2021 and fourth quartersthe remaining delayed draw term loan. Our short-term and long-term credit ratings remained unchanged during the second quarter of 2020. 2021.
In the current environment,first quarter of 2021, we may have limited future access to the commercial paper market. In addition,entered into a $5.3 billion two-year revolving credit agreement, which we have term notesnot drawn upon. As of $350 maturing in the fourth quarter ofJune 30, 2021, our unused borrowing capacity on revolving credit agreements is $14.8 billion, up from $9.5 billion at December 31, 2020. We anticipate that these credit lines will remain undrawn and primarily serve as back-up liquidity to support our general corporate borrowing needs. See Note 11.
At June 30, 2020,2021, trade payables included $4.4$3.4 billion payable to suppliers who have elected to participate in supply chain financing programs. While access to supply chain financing could be curtailed ifwas reduced in 2020 due to our credit ratings are downgraded,and debt levels, we do not believe that these or future changes in the availability of supply chain financing will have a significant impact on our liquidity.
At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 we had $9.6 billion of unused borrowing capacity on revolving credit agreements. We anticipate that these credit lines will primarily serve as back-up liquidity to support our general corporate borrowing needs. We plan to negotiate extending these facilities in the fourth quarter of 2020 when $3.2 billion of the $9.6 billion comes up for renewal.
In addition to our debt issuances, we have taken a number of actions to improve liquidity. During the first quarter of 2020, our Board of Directors terminated its prior authorization to repurchase shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock and suspended the declaration and/or payment of dividends until further notice. We have also reduced production rates in our commercial business to reflect the impact of COVID-19 on the industry. We have furloughed certain employees and are executing on our plans to reduce our workforce through a combination of voluntary and involuntary layoffs and natural turnover. We have recorded severance costs for
approximately 19,000 employees. In the secondfourth quarter of 2020, we recorded severance costs for approximately 19,000 employees,began using our common stock in lieu of which approximately
6,000cash to fund Company contributions to our 401(k) plans. In December 2020, in lieu of merit pay increases, we awarded most of our employees a one-time stock grant that will vest in three years. We have left the Company as of June 30, 2020, and the remainder are expected to leave in the second half of 2020.
We are reducingreduced discretionary spending, as well asincluding reducing or deferring research and development and capital expenditures. We expect these actions will further enable the Company to conserve cash.
We are also working with our customers and supply chain to accelerate receipts and conserve cash. For example, the United States Department of Defense (U.S. DoD) has taken steps to work with its industry partners to increase liquidity in the form of increased progress payment rates and reductions in withholds among other initiatives. We are also deferringdeferred certain tax payments pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.
In July 2020, we announced our business transformation efforts to assess our business across five key pillars: infrastructure, overhead and organization, portfolio and investments, supply chain health, and operational excellence. Within the infrastructure pillar we are assessing our overall facility requirements in light of reduced demand in our commercial businesses and remote and virtual work opportunities for large numbers of our workforce. We also anticipate a reduction in office space needs compared to our pre-COVID capacity. However, as we consolidate our footprint, terminate leases, and dispose of properties, we may incur near term adverse impacts to earnings. The overhead and organization pillar is focused on our cost structure and how we are organized so we can right size our workforce and simplify and reduce management layers and bureaucracy. The portfolio and investments pillar includes aligning our portfolio and investments to focus on our core business and the changes in market conditions. The supply chain pillar is focused on supply chain health and stability, reducing indirect procurement spend and streamlining our transportation, logistics, and warehousing approach. The operational excellence pillar is focused on improving performance, enhancing quality, and reducing rework. These activities are not intended to constrain our capacity, but rather to enable the Company to emerge stronger and be more resilient when the market recovers.
Based on our current best estimates of market demand, planned production rates, timing of cash receipts and expenditures, our ability to successfully implement further actions to improve liquidity, as well as our ability to access additional liquidity, if needed, we believe it is probable that we will be able to fund our operations for the foreseeable future.
Standards Issued and Implemented
In the first quarter of 2020, we adopted ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (ASU 2016-13), using a modified retrospective method, which resulted in the recognition of allowances for credit losses on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of January 1, 2020 and a $162 cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings to align our credit loss methodology with the new standard. The standard replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology under Topic 310 with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires the use of a forward-looking expected credit loss model for accounts receivables, loans, and certain other financial assets. See Note 5 and 8 for additional disclosures.
In the first quarter of 2020, we also adopted ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (ASU 2017-04). See Note 2 for additional disclosures.
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, 2019. Our updated significant accounting policies described below reflect the impact of adopting Topic 326.
Allowances for losses on certain financial assets
We establish allowances for credit losses on accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, customer financing receivables, and certain other financial assets. The adequacy of these allowances are assessed quarterly through consideration of factors including, but not limited to, customer credit ratings, bankruptcy filings, published or estimated credit default rates, age of the receivable, expected loss rates and collateral exposures. 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 major credit rating agencies.
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 date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We believe that the accounting estimates and assumptions included in these financial statements are appropriate given theand reflect increased uncertainties surrounding the severity and duration of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, however actual results could differ from those estimates.
Long-term Contracts
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 periods' revenue and earnings, including certain reach-forward losses, across all long-term contracts were as follows:

Note 2 – Goodwill and Acquired Intangibles
In the first quarter of 2020, we adopted ASU 2017-04, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. The standard simplifies the quantitative impairment test from a two-step process to a one-step process. The quantitative test is performed by comparing the carrying value of net assets to the estimated fair value of the related operations. If the fair value is determined to be less than carrying value, the shortfall up to the carrying value of the goodwill represents the amount of goodwill impairment. The standard continues to permit a company to test goodwill for impairment by performing a qualitative assessment or using the quantitative test.
We completed our annual assessment of goodwill as of April 1, 2020 and determined that the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its corresponding carrying value and that there is no impairment of goodwill.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact our Commercial Airplanes and Commercial Services businesses. Therefore, we believe the COVID-19 pandemic is a triggering event in the second quarter of 2020 for testing whether goodwill recorded by our Commercial Airplanes and Commercial Services reporting units is impaired. At June 30, 2020, Commercial Airplanes has $1,315 of goodwill and Commercial Services has $3,056. We performed a qualitative assessment and determined it is not more likely than not that the fair values of our Commercial Airplane and Commercial Services reporting units were less than their carrying values as of June 30, 2020. We will continue to monitor the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in future quarters. Changes in our forecasts or further decreases in the value of our common stock could cause book values to exceed fair values which may result in goodwill impairment charges in future periods.
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:

As a result of incurring a net loss for the six and three months ended June 30, 2020 potential common shares of 1.8 million and 1.2 million were excluded from diluted loss per share because the effect would have been antidilutive. As a result of incurring a net loss for the six and three months ended June 30, 2019 potential common shares of 4.4 million and 4.0 million were excluded from diluted loss per share because the effect would have been antidilutive. In addition, the following table includes the number of shares that may be dilutive
potential common shares in the future. These shares were not included in the computation of diluted lossearnings/(loss) per share because the effect was either antidilutive or the performance condition was not met.

Note 43 – Income Taxes
Our estimated annual effective tax rate as of June 30, 2021 reflects the current U.S. federal tax rate of 21%, research and development tax credits, and other miscellaneous permanent adjustments. After considering discrete adjustments primarily driven by reductions in the valuation allowance, the actual effective income tax rates were 38.4% and 30.0% for the six and three months ended June 30, 20202021 are 126.1% and 27.5%(3.3)%. The actual effective tax rates were 38.4% and 14.2%30.0% for the samecomparable periods in the prior year.
The actual effective income tax rate of 126.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 is significantly higher than the comparable period in the prior year due primarily to the near breakeven year-to-date pre-tax loss of $23 for the six months ended June 30, 2021 in relation to permanent tax adjustments and discrete items during the current period. In the three months ended June 30, 2021, discrete tax benefits primarily driven by reductions in the valuation allowance more than offset ongoing tax expense resulting in an actual effective income tax rate of (3.3)%.
The 2020 tax rate includesrates include tax benefits from the CARES Act enacted on March 27, 2020 due to the Act's five yearthat included a five-year net operating loss carry backcarryback provision while the 2019 tax rate reflects tax benefits associated with intangible income derived from serving non-U.S. markets. The carry back provisions enablewhich enabled us to benefit from certain 2020 losses and re-measureremeasure certain deferred tax assets and liabilities at the former federal tax rate of 35%. The 2020 tax rates in 2020 and 2019 also reflectinclude research and development tax credits and excess tax benefits related to share-based payments.
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had recorded valuation allowances of $3,034 and $3,094 primarily for certain federal deferred tax assets, state net operating loss carryforwards, and state tax credits. To measure the valuation allowance, the Company estimated in what year each of its deferred tax assets and liabilities would reverse using systematic and logical methods to estimate the reversal patterns. Based on these methods, deferred tax liabilities were assumed to reverse and generate taxable income over the next 5 to 10 years while deferred tax assets related to pension and other postretirement benefit obligations were assumed to reverse and generate tax deductions over the next 15 to 20 years. The valuation allowance primarily resulted from not having sufficient income from deferred tax liability reversals in the appropriate future periods to support the realization of certain deferred tax assets.
As of June 30, 2021, based on the estimated reversal patterns of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities, it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the federal deferred tax assets generated in 2021 as there is sufficient projected income from reversals of deferred tax liabilities in the next five years.
Federal income tax audits have been settled for all years prior to 2015.2018. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) began the 2015-20172018-2019 federal tax audit in the first quarter of 2019.2021. We are also subject to examination in major state and international jurisdictions for the 2007-20182007-2019 tax years. We believe appropriate provisions for all outstanding tax issues have been made for all jurisdictions and all open years.

The increase in commercial aircraft programs inventory during 2021 reflects a continued buildup of 787 aircraft caused by 787 production issues and associated rework, which resulted in a significant reduction in 787 deliveries. This was partially offset by a decrease in 737 inventory reflecting the resumption of deliveries. Commercial aircraft programs inventory includes approximately 390 737 MAX aircraft and 100 787 aircraft at June 30, 2021 as compared with 425 737 MAX aircraft and 80 787 aircraft at December 31, 2020.
We are currently remarketing certain aircraft and may have to remarket additional aircraft in future periods. If we are unable to successfully remarket the aircraft, determine further production rate reductions are necessary, and/or contract the program accounting quantities, future earnings may be reduced and/or additional reach-forward losses may have to be recorded.
At June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, commercial aircraft programs inventory included $1,209 and $1,313 ofthe following amounts related to the 737 program: deferred production costs of $1,965 and $506$2,159 and $521 of unamortized tooling and other non-recurring costs related to the 737 program.of $625 and $480. At June 30, 2020, $1,6782021, $2,386 of 737 deferred production costs, unamortized tooling and other non-recurring costs are expected to be recovered from units included in the program accounting quantity that have firm orders and $37$204 is expected to be recovered from units included in the program accounting quantity that represent expected future orders.
At June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, commercial aircraft programs inventory included the following amounts related to the 777X program: $6,854 and $5,628 of work in process and $3,141 and $2,914 of unamortized tooling and other non-recurring costs of $3,386 and $3,295. During the fourth quarter of 2020, we determined that estimated costs to complete the 777X program plus costs already included in 777X inventory exceed estimated revenues from the program. The resulting reach-forward loss of $6,493 was recorded as a reduction to deferred production costs. As a result, 777X deferred production costs were immaterial at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The level of profitability on the 777X program will be subject to a number of factors. These factors include continued market uncertainty, the impacts of COVID-19 on our production system as well as impacts on our supply chain and customers, further production rate adjustments for the 777X or other commercial aircraft programs, contraction of the accounting quantity and potential risks associated with the testing program and the timing of aircraft certification. One or more of these factors could result in additional reach-forward losses on the 777X program in future periods.
At June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, commercial aircraft programs inventory included the following amounts related to the 787 program: $27,515 and $24,772 of work in process (including deferred production costs of $16,035$14,927 and $18,716), $2,006$14,976, $1,732 and $2,202$1,865 of supplier advances, and $1,924$1,812 and $2,092$1,863 of unamortized tooling and other non-recurring costs. At June 30, 2020, $15,4962021, $12,131 of 787 deferred production costs, unamortized tooling and other non-recurring costs are expected to be recovered from units included in the program accounting quantity that have firm orders and $2,463$4,608 is expected to be recovered from units included in the program accounting quantity that represent expected future orders.
Commercial aircraft programs inventory included amounts credited in cash or other consideration (early issue sales consideration) to airline customers totaling $2,941$3,319 and $2,863$2,992 at June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019.2020.

Unbilled receivables decreasedincreased from $9,043$7,995 at December 31, 20192020 to $8,570$9,203 at June 30, 2020,2021, primarily driven by an increase in billingsrevenue recognized at Defense, Space & Security (BDS) and Global Services (BGS), as well as an increase in allowances for expected credit losses at BGS.excess of billings.
Advances and progress billings increased from $51,551$50,488 at December 31, 20192020 to $53,367$50,738 at June 30, 2020,2021, primarily driven by advances on orders received in excess of revenue recognized at Commercial Airplanes (BCA), BDS, and BGS.BGS, partially offset by revenue recognized and the return of customer advances at BCA.
Revenues recognized during the six months ended June 30, 20202021 and 20192020 from amounts recorded as Advances and progress billings at the beginning of each year were $5,255$7,315 and $10,116.$5,255.

We acquire aircraft to be leased to customers through trades, lease returns, purchases in the secondary market, and new aircraft transferred from our BCA 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 June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, we individually evaluated for impairment customer financing receivables of $393$379 and
$400, $391, of which $381$379 and $388$380 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.
We determine a receivable is past due when cash has not been received upon the due date specified in the contract. There were no past due customer financing receivables as of June 30, 2021. Customer financing receivables past due as of June 30, 2020 iswas $8.
We evaluate the collectability of customer financing receivables at commencement and on a recurring basis. If a customer financing receivable is deemed uncollectable,uncollectible, the customer is categorized as non-accrual status. When a customer is in non-accrual status at commencement, revenue is deferred until substantially all cash has been received or the customer is removed from non-accrual status. If a customer status changes to non-accrual after commencement and sufficient collateral is available, we recognize contractual interest income as payments are received to the extent payments exceed past due principal payments. If there is not sufficient collateral, then revenue is not recognized until payments exceed the principal balance. Receivables in non-accrual status as of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 20192020 were $381$379 and $388.$380. Interest income received was $11 and $5 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2020 was2021 and $21 and $13.$13 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2020.
The adequacy of the allowance for losses is assessed quarterly. FourThe four primary factors influencing the level of our allowance for losses on customer financing receivables are customer credit ratings, default rates, expected loss rate and collateral values, each of which may be adversely affected by impacts that COVID-19 has on our customers. 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 at June 30, 20202021 by internal credit rating category and year of origination consisted of the following:

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. Certain collateral values are being adversely impacted by COVID-19.the changes in market conditions driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. 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:

Note 109 – Commitments and Contingencies
737 MAX Grounding and COVID-19 Impacts
On March 13,In 2019, following two fatal 737 MAX accidents, 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.non-U.S. civil aviation authorities have issued directives to the same effect.orders suspending commercial operations of 737 MAX aircraft. Deliveries of the 737 MAX have beenwere suspended until clearance is grantedfollowing these orders. Deliveries in the U.S. resumed in late 2020 following rescission by the appropriate regulatory authorities.FAA of its grounding order. In addition, multipleseveral other non-U.S. civil aviation authorities, including the Brazilian National Civil Aviation Agency, Transport Canada, and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) have subsequently approved return of operations, allowing us to resume deliveries in those jurisdictions. About 175 countries have approved the resumption of 737 MAX operations. The 737 MAX remains grounded in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions, including China.
Multiple legal actions have been filed against us as a result of the accidents. We alsoIn addition, we are fully cooperating with U.S. government investigations related to the accidents and the 737 MAX program, including investigationsan investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission, the outcome of which may
be material. WeOther than as described in Note 17 with respect to our entry during the first quarter into a Deferred Prosecution Agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice, we cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss, if any, not covered by available insurance that may result given the current status of the lawsuits, investigations and inquiries related to the 737 MAX.
We have developed software and pilot training updates for the 737 MAX. During the week of June 29, 2020,In early April 2021, we notified the FAA completed a series of flight teststhat we recommended to assess whether theoperators that certain 737 MAX meets certification safety standards. The FAA has statedairplanes be temporarily removed from service to address issues that while this is an important milestone, a numbercould affect the operation of key tasks remain including evaluating data gathered during the flight tests. On July 21, 2020 the FAA announced a 45 day public comment period for their notice of proposed rulemaking relative to 737 MAX certification. The impact this will have on timing and conditions of return to service, if any, is uncertain. 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. We have assumed that computer and simulator training will be required and as a result, we have provisioned for certain training costs.
Prior to the grounding, the 737 production rate was 52 per month, and we had planned to increase the rate to 57 per month during 2019. Beginning inelectrical power system. During the second quarter of 2019,2021, we reducedworked with the production rateFAA to 42 per month.finalize the required actions to address the issues and resumed deliveries in May. We continueddo not expect this matter to produce athave a rate of 42 per month through December 2019. We temporarily suspendedmaterial financial impact on the 737 MAX production beginning in January 2020. Duringprogram.
In the first quarterhalf of 2020,2021, we completed airplanesdelivered 105 aircraft, and we have assumed that were alreadythe remaining non-U.S. regulatory approvals will occur and enable deliveries in process at the end of the fourth quarter of 2019. In March 2020, we announced a temporary suspension of production operations in the Puget Sound area as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Production operations in Puget Sound resumedall jurisdictions during the week of April 20, 2020, at which point the 737 team resumed preparations for restarting 737 MAX production. We resumed early stages of 737 MAX production in May 2020 and expect to continue to produce at low rates for the remainder of 2020.2021. We have approximately 450390 airplanes in inventory as of June 30, 2020.
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted air travel and reduced near-term demand, resulting in lower production and delivery rate assumptions. During the first quarter of 2020, we lowered our production rate assumptions in response to COVID-19 impacts to expected demand. During the second quarter of 2020, we further delayed our production rate ramp assumptions and now expect to gradually increase the production rate to 31 by the beginning of 2022. We expect further gradual production rate increases in subsequent periods based on market demand. We have assumed that the timing of regulatory approvals will enable 737 MAX deliveries to resume during the fourth quarter of 2020.2021. A number of customers have requested to defer deliveries or to cancel orders for 737 MAX aircraft, which may require us to remarketand we are remarketing and/or delaydelaying deliveries of certain aircraft included within inventory. We continue to expect that the majorityto deliver about half of the approximately 450 737 MAX airplanesaircraft in inventory willas of December 31, 2020 by the end of 2021. In the event that we are
unable to resume aircraft deliveries in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions consistent with our assumptions of regulatory approval timing, our expectation of delivery timing could be delivered during the first year after the resumption of deliveries.impacted.
During 2019, the cumulative impacts of changes to assumptions regarding timing of return to service and timing of planned production rates and deliveries increased the estimated costs to produce and deliver the 3,100 undelivered aircraft then included in the accounting quantity by approximately $6.3 billion. During 2020, additional reductions in planned production rates further increased the estimated costs to produce and deliver aircraft included in the accounting quantity, but were partially offset by headcount and other cost reductions. These costs will result in lower 737 margins in future periods after deliveries resume.
During the first quarter of 2020, we reduced the number of aircraft included in the accounting quantity by 400 units as a result of reductions to planned production rates due to COVID-19 driven market uncertainties. The accounting quantity was unchanged during the second quarter. As we continue to produceWe produced at abnormally low production rates in 2020 and 2021,expect to continue to do so through 2021. As a result, we expect to incur approximately $5 billion of abnormal production costs thaton a cumulative basis, which are being expensed as incurred. The slowdown in the planned production rate ramp-up increased expected abnormal costs however this increase was offset by adjustments to the determination of the normal production level due to COVID-19 impacts on customer demand, as well as cost reduction activities, including significant reductions in employment levels. We expensed $712 and $1,509 of abnormal production costs of $2,567 during 2020, $1,083 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.2021 and $515 during the three months ended June 30, 2021.
In addition to impacts related to the 737 MAX accidents and subsequent grounding, the 737 program continues to be significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on aircraft demand. These impacts have contributed to the lower production and delivery rate assumptions described above. We have gradually increased production rates in 2020 and 2021 and continue to expect to increase the production rate to 31 per month in early 2022, as well as implement further gradual production rate increases in subsequent periods based on market demand and supply chain capacity. The ongoing impacts of COVID-19 on market demand and timing of regulatory approvals in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions have also created significant uncertainty around the timing of deliveries of 737 MAX aircraft in inventory. We may need to recognize additional costs associated with remarketing and/or reconfiguring aircraft in inventory, which may reduce revenue and/or earnings in future periods.
We have also recorded additional expenses of $121 as a result of$103 and $50 due to the 737 MAX grounding induring the first half ofsix and three months ended June 30, 2021, and $121 and $60 during the six and three months ended June 30, 2020. These expenses include costs related to storage, inventory impairment, pilot training, and software updates.

We are working with our customers to minimize the impact to their operations from grounded and undelivered aircraft. We continue to reassess the liability for estimated potential concessions and other considerations to customers on a quarterly basis. This reassessment includes updating estimates to reflect revisions to return to service, delivery and production rate assumptions driven by timing of regulatory approvals, as well as latest information based on engagements with 737 MAX customers. The liability represents our current best estimate of future concessions and other considerations to customers, and is necessarily based on a series of assumptions. It is subject to change in future quarters as negotiations with customers mature and timing and conditions of return to service are better understood. The liability balance of $6.7$4.0 billion at June 30, 20202021 includes $1.9$1.5 billion expected to be liquidated by lower customer delivery payments, $1.1$0.8 billion expected to be paid in cash and $0.1$0.2 billion in other concessions. Of the cash payments to customers, we expect to pay $0.4$0.3 billion in 20202021 and $0.5 billion in 2021.2022. The type of consideration to be provided for the remaining $3.6$1.5 billion will depend on the outcomes of negotiations with customers.
The FAA and other737 MAX remains grounded in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions. The civil aviation authorities in those jurisdictions will determine the timing and conditions of return to service. Our assumptions reflect our current best estimate, but actual timing and conditions of return to service and resumption of deliveries could differ from this estimate, the effect of which could be material. 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 in certain jurisdictions. For example, a significant portion of our 737 MAX inventory consists of aircraft scheduled to be delivered to
customers based in China. If we are unable to resume deliveries to China consistent with our assumptions, or if further deterioration in trade relations between the U.S. and China results in unanticipated delivery delays, the continued absence in revenue, earnings, and cash flows associated with 737 MAX deliveries would materially and adversely impact our operating results. In addition, uncertainties related to the impacts of COVID-19 on our operations, supply chain and customers, future changes to the production rate, supply chain impacts, and/or the results of negotiations with particular customers. Any such impacts, includingcustomers, as well as any changes in our program 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 a material impact on our operating results. In the event that future production rate increases occur at a slower rate or take longer than we are currently assuming, we expect that the growth in inventory and other cash flow impacts associated with production would decrease. However, while any prolonged production suspension or delays in planned production rate increases could mitigate the impact 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 and/or increase abnormal production costs in the future.
Commercial air traffic hasand capacity have fallen dramatically due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While thisThis trend has impacted passenger traffic most severely, near-termseverely. While recovery is accelerating, we continue to expect that it will remain uneven as travel restrictions and varying regional travel protocols continue to impact air travel. While the pandemic caused a temporary shift in air cargo dynamics, we have seen air cargo traffic has also fallen significantly duereturn to the globalpositive growth in 2021 on economic downturnrecovery and the reduction in cargo capacity on passenger airplanes. Airlines have significantly reduced their capacity, and many could implement further reductions in the near future. Many airlines are also implementing significant reductions in staffing.strengthening trade. These capacity changes are causing, and are expected to continue to cause, negative impacts to our customers’ revenue, earnings, and cash flow, and in some cases may threaten the future viability of some of our customers, potentially causing defaults within our customer financing portfolio and/or requiring us to remarket aircraft that have already been produced and/or are currently in backlog. If 737 MAX aircraft remain grounded for an extended period of time in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions, we may experience additional reductions to backlog and/or significant order cancellations. Additionally, we may experience fewer new orders and increased cancellations across all of our commercial airplane programs as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated impacts on demand. Our customers may also lack sufficient liquidity to purchase new aircraft due to impacts from the pandemic. We are also observing a significant increase in the number of requests for payment deferrals, contract modifications, lease restructurings and similar actions,
and these trends may lead to additional earnings charges, impairments and other adverse financial impacts in our business over time. In addition, to the extent that customers have valid rights to cancel undelivered aircraft, we may be required to refund pre-delivery payments, putting additional constraints on our liquidity. In addition to the near-term impact, thereThere is risk that the industry implements longer-term strategies involving reduced capacity, shifting route patterns, and mitigation strategies related to impacts from COVID-19 and the risk of future public health crises. In addition, airlines may experience reduced demand due to reluctance by the flying public to travel.
We continue to expect commercial air travel due to travel restrictions and/or social distancing requirements.
Asreturn to 2019 levels in 2023 to 2024. We expect it will take a result, therefew years beyond that for the industry to return to long-term trend growth. There is significant uncertainty with respect to when commercial air traffic levels will begin to recover, and whether and at what point capacity will return to and/or exceed pre-COVID-19 levels. The COVID-19 pandemic also has increased, and its aftermath is also expected to continue to increase, uncertainty with respect to global trade volumes, puttingwhich could put significant negative pressure on cargo traffic. Any of these factors would have a significant impact on the demand for both single-aisle and wide-body commercial aircraft, as well as for the services we provide to commercial airlines. In addition, a lengthy period of reduced industry-wide demand for commercial aircraft would put additional pressure on our suppliers, resulting in increased procurement costs and/or additional supply chain disruption. To the extent that the COVID-19 pandemic or its aftermath further impacts demand for our products and services or impairs the viability of some of our customers and/or suppliers, our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be adversely affected, and those impacts could be material.

The liabilities recorded represent our best estimate or the low end of a range of reasonably possible costs expected to be incurred to remediate sites, including operation and maintenance over periods of up to 30 years. It is reasonably possible that we may incur charges that exceed these recorded amounts because of regulatory agency orders and directives, changes in laws and/or regulations, higher than expected costs and/or the discovery of new or additional contamination. As part of our estimating process, we develop a range of reasonably possible alternate scenarios that includes the high end of a range of reasonably possible cost estimates for all remediation sites for which we have sufficient information based on our experience and existing laws and regulations. There are some potential remediation obligations where the costs of remediation cannot be reasonably estimated. At June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the high end of the estimated range of reasonably possible remediation costs exceeded our recorded liabilities by $1,088$1,055 and $1,077.$1,095.

The increase in the product warranty reserve during the six months ended June 30, 2020 is primarily driven by charges related to “pickle forks” on 737NG aircraft. During 2019, we detected cracks in the "pickle forks", a frame fitting component of the structure connecting the wings to the fuselages of 737NG aircraft. We notified the FAA, which issued a directive requiring that certain 737NG airplanes be inspected. We have estimated the number of aircraft that will have to be repaired in the future and provisioned for the estimated costs of completing the repairs. We recognized charges of $135 in 2019 for current and projected future aircraft repairs. During the first quarter of 2020, we recognized additional charges of $336 based on revised engineering and fleet utilization estimates as well as updated repair cost estimates. We cannot estimate a range of reasonably possible losses, if any, in excess of amounts recognized due to the ongoing nature of the inspections and repairs and pending the completion of investigations into the cause of the condition. | | | | | | | | | | | |

Commercial Aircraft Commitments
In conjunction with signing definitive agreements for the sale of new aircraft (Sale Aircraft), we have entered into trade-in commitments with certain customers that give them the right to trade in used aircraft at a specified price upon the purchase of Sale Aircraft. The probability that trade-in commitments will be exercised is determined by using both quantitative information from valuation sources and qualitative information from other sources. The probability of exercise is assessed quarterly, or as events trigger a change, and takes into consideration the current economic and airline industry environments. Trade-in commitments, which can be terminated by mutual consent with the customer, may be exercised only during the period specified in the agreement, and require advance notice by the customer.
Trade-in commitment agreements at June 30, 20202021 have expiration dates from 20202021 through 2026.2028. At June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 20192020 total contractual trade-in commitments were $1,165$623 and $1,407.$950. As of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, we estimated that it was probable we would be obligated to perform on certain of these commitments with net amounts payable to customers totaling $621$335 and $711$599 and the fair value of the related trade-in aircraft was $602$335 and $678.$580.
Financing Commitments
Financing commitments related to aircraft on order, including options and those proposed in sales campaigns, and refinancing of delivered aircraft, totaled $12,784$13,475 and $13,377$11,512 as of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019.2020. The estimated earliest potential funding dates for these commitments as of June 30, 20202021 are as follows:

As of June 30, 2020,2021, all of these financing commitments relate 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 $243 to joint ventures over the next sevensix 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 $3,761$3,917 and $3,769$4,238 as of June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019.2020.
United States Government Defense Environment Overview
The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2019 raised the Budget Control Act limits on federal discretionary defense and non-defense spending for fiscal years 2020 and 2021 (FY20 and FY21), reducing budget uncertainty and the risk of sequestration. The consolidatedOmnibus appropriations acts for FY20,fiscal year 2021 (FY21), enacted in December 2019,2020, provided FY20FY21 appropriations for government departments and agencies, including $704 billion for the U.S. DoD, $23 billion for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and $18 billion for the FAA. In February 2020, the U.S. administration submitted its request for $740.5 billion in base national defense spending forFederal Aviation Administration (FAA). FY21 congruent with the amended spending limit.
The enacted FY20 appropriations included funding for Boeing’s major programs, such as the F/A-18 Super Hornet, F-15EX, CH-47 Chinook, AH-64 Apache, V-22 Osprey, KC-46A Tanker, P-8 Poseidon and Space Launch System. However,
In May 2021, the U.S. government released the President’s budget request for fiscal year 2022 (FY22), which included $715 billion in funding for the U.S. DoD, $25 billion in funding for NASA and $19 billion for the FAA. While the President’s Budget request for FY22 includes funding for a majority of Boeing’s programs, it did not include funding for F/A-18 Super Hornet, P-8 Poseidon and H-47F Block II production aircraft. While there continues to beis some continued congressional support for F/A-18 and H-47F Block II production aircraft for FY22, there is ongoing uncertainty with respect to futurethese and other program-level appropriations for the U.S. DoDFY22 and other government agencies, including NASA.future fiscal years. Future budget cuts or investment priority changes, including changes associated with the authorizations and appropriations process, could result in reductions, cancellations, and/or delays of existing contracts or programs. Any of these impacts could have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position, and/or cash flows. These programs also continue to pursue non-U.S. sales opportunities.
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, KC-46A Tanker, MQ-25, T-7A Red Hawk, VC-25B, 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 a reach-forward loss of $978 on KC-46A Tanker in the first half of 2020. The KC-46A Tanker reach-forward loss in the first quarter of 2020 reflects $551 of costs associated with the agreement signed in April 2020 with the U.S. Air Force (USAF) to develop and integrate a new Remote Vision System, and the remaining costs reflect productivity inefficiencies and COVID-19 related factory disruption. Moreover, our fixed-price development programs remain subject to additional reach-forward losses if we experience further production, 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 Engineering, Manufacturing and Development (EMD)(EMD) contract is a fixed-price incentive fee contract and involves highly complex designs and systems integration. Since 2016, the USAF has authorized fiveseven low rate initial production (LRIP) lots for a total of 6794 aircraft. The EMD contract and authorized LRIP lots are valued attotal approximately $15 billion.$19 billion as of June 30, 2021.
At June 30, 2020,2021, we had approximately $374$254 of capitalized precontract costs and $548$280 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.

During 2020, the Company recorded severance costs of $652 that are expected to be paid during 2020 tofor approximately 19,00026,000 employees expected to leave the Company through a combination of voluntary and involuntary terminations. The severance packages are consistent with the Company’s ongoing compensation and benefits plans. During the first quarter of 2021, we reduced the estimated number of employees expected to leave the Company through voluntary and involuntary terminations to approximately 23,000. During the second quarter of 2021, we further reduced the estimated number of employees expected to leave the Company through voluntary and involuntary terminations to approximately 19,000. As of June 30, 2020 approximately 6,000 employees had left the Company and the2021, our severance liability primarily relates to remaining 13,000 employees are expectedseverance payments to leave in the third and fourth quarterterminated employees.
Note 1110 – Arrangements with Off-Balance Sheet Risk
We enter into arrangements with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business, primarily in the form of guarantees.
The following table provides quantitative data regarding our third party guarantees. The maximum potential payments represent a “worst-case scenario,” and do not necessarily reflect amounts that we expect to pay. Estimated proceeds from collateral and recourse represent the anticipated values of assets we could liquidate or receive from other parties to offset our payments under guarantees.

Contingent Repurchase Commitments The repurchase price specified in contingent repurchase commitments is generally lower than the expected fair value at the specified repurchase date. Estimated proceeds from collateral/recourse in the table above represent the lower of the contracted repurchase price or the expected fair value of each aircraft at the specified repurchase date.
Indemnifications to ULA During the first quarter of 2020, the USAF and ULA reached a settlement regarding previously questioned deferred support and deferred production costs. As part of the settlement the USAF agreed to reimburse ULA for $307 of those costs, which was received by ULA in the second quarter. The settlement substantially retires our indemnification risks to ULA.
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 10.9.
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. We record a liability for the fair value of guarantees and the expected contingent loss amount, which is reviewed quarterly. Current outstanding credit guarantees expire through 2036.
Note 1211 – Debt
In the first quarter of 2020, we entered into a $13,825, two-year delayed draw term loan facility, which includes additional commitments made subsequent to the initial closing date. As of June 30, 2020, we have fully drawn on the $13,825 delayed draw term loan facility, with February 6, 2022 as the final maturity date. Borrowings outstanding bear interest at the Eurodollar rate (determined in accordance with the delayed draw term loan facility agreement) plus between 0.75% and 1.25%, depending on our credit rating.
In the second quarter of 2020,2021, we issued $25,000$9,825 of fixed rate senior notes consisting of $3,000$1,325 due May 1,February 4, 2023 that bear an annual interest rate of 4.508%1.167%, $3,500$3,000 due May 1, 2025February 4, 2024 that bear an annual interest rate of 4.875%1.433%, $2,000and $5,500 due May 1, 2027February 4, 2026 that bear an annual interest rate of 5.04%, $4,500 due May 1, 2030 that bear an annual interest rate of 5.15%, $3,000 due May 1, 2040 that bear an annual interest rate of 5.705%, $5,500 due May 1, 2050 that bear an annual interest rate of 5.805%, and $3,500 due May 1, 2060 that bear an annual interest rate of 5.93%2.196%. The notes are unsecured senior obligations and rank equally in right of payment with our existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The net proceeds of the issuance totaled $24,802,$9,780, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and offering expenses. We used the net proceeds of these note issuances to repay $9,825 outstanding under our two-year delayed draw term loan credit agreement. The remaining $4,000 of our two-year delayed draw term loan matures in February 2022.
In the first quarter of 2021, we entered into a $5,280 two-year revolving credit agreement. As of June 30, 2021, we have $14,753 currently available under credit line agreements, of which $3,073 expires in October 2021, $3,200 expires in October 2022, $5,280 expires in March 2023, and $3,200 expires in October 2024. The facility scheduled to expire in October 2021 has a one-year term out option that allows us to extend the maturity of any borrowings one additional year. We continue to be in full compliance with all covenants contained in our debt or credit facility agreements.

Note 1615 – Derivative Financial Instruments
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 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 2023.
We continue to monitor the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our commodity cash flow hedges, including reductions in our forecasted purchases of certain commodities. As of June 30, 2020, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our cash flow hedges was not significant.2029.
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 and commodity swaps which do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.

For certain commodity contracts, our counterparties could require collateral posted in an amount determined by our credit ratings. The fair value of foreign exchange and commodity contracts that have credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liability position at June 30, 20202021 was $54.$1. At June 30, 2020,2021, there was no collateral posted related to our derivatives.
Note 1716 – 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 and commodity 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.
Certain assets have been measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).basis. The following table presents the nonrecurring losses recognized for the six months ended June 30 due to long-lived asset impairment and the fair value and asset classification of the related assets as of the impairment date:

Level 3 Investments, Property, plant and equipment, Other assetsAssets and Acquired intangible assetsIntangibles were primarily valued using an income approach based on the discounted cash flows associated with the underlying assets. Level 2 Property, plant and equipment were valued based on a third party appraisal using a combination of income and market approaches that considered estimates of net operating income,
capitalization rates, comparable property sales and adjusted for as-is condition. The fair value of the impaired customer financing assets 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 year ended June 30, 2020,2021, 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, Other current assets, Accounts payable and long-term payables. The carrying values of those items, as reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, approximate their fair value at June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019.2020. 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 1817 – 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. Except as described below, 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 subject to, and cooperating with ongoing governmental and regulatory investigations and inquiries relating to the accidents and the 737 MAX, including investigationsan investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission, the outcome of which may be material. WeOther than with respect to the agreement described below with the U.S. Department of Justice, we cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss, if any, not covered by available insurance that may result given the current status of the pending lawsuits, investigations, and inquiries related to the 737 MAX.
On January 6, 2021, we entered into a Deferred Prosecution Agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice that resolves the Department of Justice’s previously disclosed investigation into us regarding the evaluation of the 737 MAX airplane by the Federal Aviation Administration. Under the terms of the Deferred Prosecution Agreement, we agreed to the filing of a criminal information charging the Company with one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States, based on the conduct of two former 737 MAX program technical pilots; the criminal information will be dismissed after three years, provided that we comply with our obligations under the agreement. The Deferred Prosecution Agreement requires that we make payments totaling $2.51 billion, which consist of (a) a $243.6 million criminal monetary penalty; (b) $500 million in additional compensation to the heirs and/or beneficiaries of those who died in the Lion Air Flight 610 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 accidents; and (c) $1.77 billion to the Company’s airline customers for harm incurred as a result of the grounding of the 737 MAX, offset in part by payments already made and the remainder satisfied through payments to be made prior to the termination of the Deferred Prosecution Agreement. The agreement also requires that we review our compliance program and undertake continuous improvement efforts with respect to it, and implement enhanced compliance reporting and internal controls mechanisms. We expensed $743.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2020 related to this agreement. During the first quarter, consistent with the terms of the Deferred Prosecution Agreement, the monetary penalty was paid, and the $500 million compensation amount was transferred to a fund established to benefit the heirs and/or beneficiaries of the victims of the 737 MAX accidents. In
addition, the $1.77 billion amount related to the Company’s airline customers was included in amounts reserved in prior quarters for 737 MAX customer considerations.
During 2019, we entered into definitive transaction documents with respect to a strategic partnershipagreements with Embraer S.A. (Embraer). The partnership contemplated the establishment of to establish joint ventures that included the commercial aircraft and services operations of Embraer, of which we were expected to acquire an 80 percent ownership stake for $4,200, as well as a joint venture to promote and develop new markets for the C-390 Millennium.
The transaction documents permitted either party In 2020, we exercised our contractual right to terminate the proposed partnership beginning on April 24, 2020, provided that certain closing conditions were not met. Basedthese agreements based on Embraer’s failure to satisfymeet certain required closing conditions, we exercised our contractual termination right during the second quarter of 2020, whichconditions. Embraer has disputed. We would have been requireddisputed our right to pay a termination fee of $100 hadterminate the transaction been terminated due to a failure to obtain antitrust approvals. Becauseagreements, and the transaction was terminated due to a failure by Embraer to meet other closing conditions, we do not expect to be required to pay a termination feedispute is currently in connection with the termination of the transaction. Boeing and Embraer are arbitrating their dispute over Boeing’s termination of the agreement.arbitration. We cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss, if any, that may result from the arbitration.
Note 1918 – Segment and Revenue Information
Effective at the beginning of 2020, certain programs were realigned between our BDS segment and Unallocated items, eliminations and other. Business segment data for 2019 has been adjusted to reflect the realignment.
Our primary profitability measurements to review a segment’s operating results are EarningsEarnings/(loss) from operations and operating margins. We operate in 4 reportable segments: BCA, BDS, BGS, and BCC. All other activities fall within Unallocated items, eliminations and other. See page 7 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.
BDS engages 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 June 30, 20202021 was $408,650.$363,466. We expect approximately 27%30% to be converted to revenue through 20212022 and approximately 70%79% through 2024,2025, with the remainder thereafter. The future periods when backlogThere is expected to convert to revenue could be impacted ifsignificant uncertainty regarding the timing of aircraft deliveries is adjustedwhen backlog will convert into revenue due to the 737 MAX grounding in non-U.S. jurisdictions, entry into service of the 777X, 737 MAX 7 and/or 737 MAX 10, and COVID-19 impacts.
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.standards (CAS).

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Consolidated Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Overview
The global outbreak of COVID-19 coupled withand the ongoing groundingresidual impacts of the 737 MAX airplane is having agrounding in 2019 continue to have significant adverse impactimpacts on our business and isare expected to significantly reducecontinue to negatively impact revenue, earnings and operating cash flow in future quarters. It isThey are also having a significant impact on our liquidity - see Liquidity Matters in Note 1 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.Statements for a further discussion of liquidity and additional actions we are taking in response to these challenges.
The aerospace industry is facingCOVID-19 pandemic has caused an unprecedented shock to demand for commercial air travel, which createscreating a tremendous challenge for our customers, our business and the entire commercial aerospace manufacturing and services sector.sectors. The latest IATAInternational Air Transport Association (IATA) forecast projects full-yearrecovery of passenger traffic in 2021 to be down 55% this year compared toapproximately 43% of 2019 levels, as international markets see continued reopening challenges. Additionally, global economic activity slows downremains slow due to COVID-19, and governments continue to severely restrict travel to contain the spread of the virus. While recovery is accelerating, we continue to expect that that it will remain uneven as travel restrictions and varying regional travel protocols continue to impact air travel.
Generally, we expect domestic travel to recover faster than international travel. As a result, we expect the narrow-body market to recover faster than the wide-body market. Also, the pace of the commercial market recovery will be heavily dependent on COVID-19 infection rates, progress on vaccine distribution, and government travel and other restrictions on trade and commercial activity. Demand for dedicated freighters continues to be strong, underpinned by a strong recovery in global trade and overall air cargo growth. Overall cargo capacity remains challenged given the large impact that COVID-19 has had on international passenger operations, which also carry cargo.
Airline financial performance, which also plays a role in the demand for new capacity, has been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. According to IATA, net losses for the airline industry are expected to be approximately $126 billion in 2020 and approximately $48 billion in 2021. Our customers are taking actions to adjust to these newcombat the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the market realities and preserveby preserving liquidity. This comes in many forms such as deferrals of advanceadvances and other payments to suppliers, deferrals of deliveries, reduced spending on services, and, in some cases, cancellations. Wecancellation of orders. While the outlook is improving and we have seen an increase in new orders in 2021, we continue to face a challenging environment in the near to medium term as airlines adjusthave adjusted to reduced traffic which in turn willhas resulted in lower demand for commercial aerospace products and services. It couldThe current environment is also affectaffecting the financial viability of some airlines.
We currentlycontinue to expect it will take approximately three years forcommercial air travel to return to 2019 levels andin 2023 to 2024. We expect it will take a few years beyond that for the industry to return to long-term trend growth. To balance the supply and demand given the COVID-19 shock and to preserve our long-term potential and competitiveness, we are reducinghave reduced the production rates of several of our Commercial Airplanes (BCA) programs. These rate decisions are based on our ongoing assessments of the demand environment.environment and availability of aircraft financing. There is significant uncertainty with respect to when commercial air traffic levels will recover, and whether, and at what point, capacity will return to and/or exceed pre-COVID-19 levels. During the fourth quarter of 2020, we made adjustments to our estimates regarding timing of 777X entry into service. We now anticipate that the first 777X delivery will occur in late 2023. We will closely monitor the key factors that affect backlog and future demand for each of our commercial aircraft programs, including customers’ evolving fleet plans, the wide-body replacement cycle and the cargo market. We will maintain a disciplined rate management process, and make adjustments as appropriate in the future. Notwithstanding the changes we have made to production rates, risk remains that further reductions will be required. Additionally, if we are unable to make timely deliveries of the large number of aircraft in inventory as of June 30, 2021, future revenues, earnings and cash flows will be adversely impacted.
Deliveries and production have also been impacted by production issues and associated rework. For example, in early April 2021, we notified the FAA that we recommended to operators that certain 737 MAX airplanes be temporarily removed from service to address issues that could affect the operation of the electrical power system. During the second quarter of 2021, we worked with the FAA to finalize the required actions to address the issues and resumed deliveries in May. Deliveries of the 787 are currently paused and the production rate has been temporarily reduced while we focus on inspections and rework and continue to engage in detailed discussions with the FAA on verification methodology.Risk remains that these issues may impact the timing of delivery of airplanes in inventory and/or our ability to achieve planned production rates.
The long-term outlook for the industry remains positive due to the fundamental drivers of air travel demand: economic growth, increasing propensity to travel due to increased trade, globalization, and improved airline services driven by liberalization of air traffic rights between countries. The shock from COVID-19 has reduced the near to medium term demand, but our Commercial Market Outlook forecast projects a 4% growth rate for passenger and cargo traffic over a 20 year period. Based on long-term global economic growth projections of 2.5% average annual GDP growth, we project demand for approximately 43,000 new airplanes over the next 20 years. The industry remains vulnerable to exogenous developments including fuel price spikes, credit market shocks, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, conflicts, epidemics, pandemics and increased global environmental regulations.
Deliveries of the 737 MAX resumed in the fourth quarter of 2020, when the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) rescinded the order that grounded 737 MAX aircraft in the U.S. In addition, other non-U.S. civil aviation authorities, including the Brazilian National Civil Aviation Agency, Transport Canada, and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) have subsequently approved return of operations, allowing us to resume deliveries in those jurisdictions. About 175 countries have approved the resumption of 737 MAX operations. Orders to suspend operations of 737 MAX aircraft from certain non-U.S. civil aviation authorities, including the Civil Aviation Administration of China, are still in effect. The grounding has had a significant adverse impact on our operations and creates significant uncertainty. We are focused on safely returning the 737 MAX to service for all of our customers.
At Global Services (BGS)(BGS), while the outlook is improving, we are seeingcontinuing to see a direct impact on our commercial supply chain business as fewer flights and more aircraft retirementsparked and/or retired result in a decreased demand for our parts and logistics offerings. Additionally, our commercial customers are curtailing discretionary spending, such as modifications and upgrades and focusing on required maintenance. Similar to BCA, we expect a multi-year recovery period for the commercial services business. The demand outlook for our government services business, which in 2019 accounted for just under half of BGS revenue, remains stable.
At Defense, Space & Security (BDS), we continue to see a healthy market with solid demand for our major platforms and programs both domestically and internationally. Despite someHowever, while we continue to experience near-term production disruptions and inefficiencies due to COVID-19 impacts, associated with our temporary suspension of operations at various locations, we believe that our portfolio of programs and technologies remains well aligned to our customers’ missions and well positioned to address their current needs.are seeing improvements in 2021.
In March and April of 2020, we temporarily suspended operations at multiple locations including the Puget Sound area, South Carolina and Philadelphia. Operations in Puget Sound and Philadelphia resumed during the week of April 20, while operations in South Carolina resumed beginning on May 3. We have implemented procedures to promote employee safety in our facilities, including more frequent and enhanced cleaning and adjusted schedules and work flows to support physical distancing. These actions have resulted, and will continue to result, in increased operating costs. In addition, a number of our suppliers have suspended or otherwise reduced their operations, and we are experiencing some supply chain shortages. Our suppliers are also experiencing liquidity pressures and disruptions to their operations as a result of COVID-19. We also continue to have large numbers of employees working from home. These measures and disruptions have reduced overall productivity and adversely impacted our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in the first half of 2020.flows. We expect further adverse impacts in future quarters.
In July 2020, we announced business transformation efforts to assess our business across five key pillars: infrastructure, overhead and organization, portfolio and investments, supply chain health and operational excellence. We continue to make progress across all five key pillars as we utilize a lower production rate environment to transform and improve our business processes. Within the infrastructure
pillar we are assessing our overall facility requirements in light of reduced demand in our commercial businesses and Core Operating Loss (Non-GAAP)remote and virtual work opportunities for large numbers of our workforce. The consolidation of the 787 production in South Carolina during the first quarter of 2021 is an example of this. We also anticipate a reduction of approximately 30% in office space needs compared to our pre-COVID capacity. During 2020 and 2021, we have made certain reductions to our footprint and are planning to implement further reductions in 2021 and over the next few years. However, as we consolidate our footprint, terminate leases and dispose of properties, we may incur near term adverse impacts to earnings. The overhead and organization pillar is focused on our cost structure and how we are organized so we can right size our workforce and simplify and reduce management layers and bureaucracy. We have recorded severance costs for approximately 19,000 employees. The portfolio and investments pillar includes aligning our portfolio and investments to focus on our core business and the changes in market conditions. Through our portfolio and investment prioritization, we are reducing research and development and capital expenditures. The supply chain pillar is focused on supply chain health and stability, reducing indirect procurement spend and streamlining our transportation, logistics and warehousing approach. We are reducing indirect spend, by reducing expenditures in areas such as freight and logistics, purchased services and others. The operational excellence pillar is focused on improving performance, enhancing quality and reducing rework. For example, our information technology teams are evaluating opportunities to form or expand strategic partnerships with vendors that allow us to simplify and optimize our operations, and reduce overall costs. These activities are not intended to constrain our capacity, but rather to enable the Company to emerge stronger and be more resilient when the market recovers. We expect that successful execution of these measures will improve near term liquidity and long term cost competitiveness.

Other income, net decreased increased by $7$183 million and $13$105 million during the six and three months ended June 30, 2020,2021, primarily due to higher foreign exchange losses and lower non-operating pension income. Non-operating pension income partially offset by lower non-operating postretirement expense. Non-operating postretirement expense was $27$352 million and $14$175 million during the six and three months ended June 30, 20202021 compared with $53$171 million and $26$84 million during the same periods in 2019.2020, primarily due to higher expected return on plan assets and lower interest cost, partially offset by higher amortization of actuarial losses. Non-operating postretirement income was $10 million and $5 million during the six and three months ended June 30, 2021 compared with $27 million and $14 million of expense during the same periods in 2020.
Higher Interest and debt expense for the six and three months ended June 30, 20202021 is primarily a result of higher debt balances.

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 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 decreaseincrease during the six months ended June 30, 20202021 was primarily due to aircraft order cancellations, a reduction fororders in excess of deliveries, changes in price escalation, and changes in orders that in our assessment no longerdo not meet the accounting requirements of ASCAccounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606 for inclusion in backlog, changes in projected price escalation and deliveries in excess of new orders. We are experiencingpartially offset by cancellations. During 2020, we received fewer new 737 MAX orders than we were receiving prior to the grounding. If 737 MAX aircraft remain grounded in certain jurisdictions for an extended period of time and/or if entry into service of the 777X, 737 MAX 7 and/or 737 MAX 10 is further delayed, we may experience additional reductions to backlog and/or significant order cancellations. Additionally, we may continue to experience fewer new orders and increased cancellations across all of our commercial airplane programs as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated impacts on demand.
Unobligated backlog includes U.S. and non-U.S. government definitive contracts for which funding has not been authorized. The decrease during the six months ended June 30, 20202021 was primarily due to reclassifications to contractual backlog related to BDS and BGS and BDS contracts.contracts, partially offset by contract awards.
Additional Considerations
Global Trade We continually monitor the global trade environment in response to geopolitical economic developments, as well as changes in tariffs, trade agreements, or sanctions that may impact the Company.
The global economy is currently experiencingcontinues to experience significant adverse impacts due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including a decline in overall trade.trade in general and in aerospace in particular. There is a great deal of uncertainty regarding the duration, scale, and localization of these impacts to the global economy and governments are enacting a wide range
of responses to mitigate the unfolding economic impacts. We are closely monitoring the current impact and potential future economic consequences of COVID-19 to the global economy, the aerospace sector, and our Company. These adverse economic impacts have resulted in fewer orders than previously anticipated for our commercial aircraft.
In addition, we continually monitorChina is a significant market for commercial airplanes and represents a significant component of our commercial airplanes backlog. Since 2018, the global trade environmentU.S. and China imposed an escalating series of tariffs on each other’s imports. Certain aircraft parts and components that Boeing procures are subject to these tariffs. The U.S. and China entered into a Phase I agreement in January 2020. However, implementation of this agreement is incomplete and overall diplomatic relations between the U.S. and China have deteriorated. We continue monitoring developments for changes in tariffs, trade agreements, sanctions or other potential geopolitical economic developments that may impactadverse impacts to the Company.
Beginning in June 2018, the U.S. Government has imposed 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. Implementation of the U.S./Mexico/Canada Free Trade Agreement (USMCA) will also result in lower tariffs. We continue to monitor the potential for any extra costs that may result from the remaining global tariffs.
Since 2018, the U.S. and China imposed 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 Chinese goods, and China imposed tariffs on an additional $76 billion worth of U.S goods. The U.S. and China Phase I agreement in January 2020 is a positive development for overall trade with China. Negotiations to resolve remaining trade issues continue. Recently, the U.S.-China relationship has become more strained. We are closely monitoring developments for potential adverse impacts to the Company.
The U.S. Government continues to impose and/or consider 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.
The U.S. and European Union (EU) have been engaged in two long-running disputes at the World Trade Organization (WTO) relating to large civil aircraft. As part of those disputes, in October 2019, the WTO authorized the U.S. to impose approximately $7.50 billion in annual tariffs on EU products in connection with the EU’s provision of eight instances of launch aid subsidies to Airbus. Following this authorization, the U.S. began to impose 15% tariffs on new Airbus airplanes imported into the U.S. as well as fuselages that Airbus manufactures in Europe and imports into the U.S. In October 2020, the WTO authorized the EU to impose approximately $3.99 billion in annual tariffs on U.S. products in connection with a tax incentive used by Boeing in Washington state that has since been repealed. Shortly thereafter, the EU began to impose 15% tariffs on Boeing airplanes imported into the EU. On June 15, 2021, the U.S. and EU announced that they had reached a cooperative framework to address the large civil aircraft disputes. As part of the framework, among other items, both sides announced an intent to continue to suspend tariffs related to the disputes for five years. The U.S. and U.K. announced a similar agreement on June 17, 2021. Segment Results of Operations and Financial Condition

Loss From Operations
TheBCA loss from operations was $1,328 million for six months ended June 30, 2021 compared with $4,830 million in the same period in 2020 reflecting lower period expense, higher 737 deliveries and lower research and development spending. Period expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 included $1,083 million of abnormal production costs related to 737 MAX. Period expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020, of $4,830 million increased $1,057 million compared with the same period in 2019. The 2020 loss reflects the continued absence of 737 MAX deliveries, lower wide-body deliveries and margins resulting from COVID-19,included $1,509 million of abnormal production costs related to 737 MAX, $521 million of charges for 737 MAX customer considerations, $468 million of severance costs, $270 million of abnormal production costs from the temporary suspension of Puget Sound operations in response to COVID-19, and a $336 million charge related to 737NG frame fitting component repair costs, and $468 million of severance costs. Lower 787 margins reflecting a reduction in the accounting quantity in the first quarter of 2020 and lower production rates also contributed to lower earnings. The 2019 loss primarily reflects the absence of 737 MAX deliveries in the second quarter of 2019 and charges of $5,610 million for estimated 737 MAX customer considerations.
TheBCA loss from operations ofwas $472 million for three months ended June 30, 2021 compared with $2,762 million in the same period in 2020 reflecting lower period expense, higher narrow-body and wide-body deliveries and lower research and development spending. Period expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 included $515 million of abnormal production costs related to 737 MAX. Period expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020, is $2,184 million lower compared with the same period in 2019. The losses in both periods reflect the continued absence of MAX deliveries. The 2019 loss was also driven by charges of $5,610 million for estimated 737 MAX customer considerations. The 2020 loss was driven by lower wide-body deliveries and lower program margins due to COVID-19 impacts,included $712 million of abnormal production costs related to 737 MAX, $551 million of charges for 737 MAX customer considerations, $468 million of severance costs and $133 million of abnormal production costs from the temporary suspension of Puget Sound operations in response to COVID-19.
Lower commercial airplane deliveries and the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to have a significant adverse impact on future earnings and margins until 737 MAXdeliveries ramp up and wide-body deliveries return to historichistorical levels.
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 Boeing Capital (BCC)
orders. A number of our customers may have contractual remedies, including rights to reject individual airplane deliveries if the actual delivery date is significantly later than the contractual delivery date. 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 decreasedincreased from $376,593$281,588 million as of December 31, 20192020 to $325,674$285,332 million at June 30, 20202021 reflecting aircraft order cancellations, a reduction fornew orders in excess of deliveries, changes in projected price escalation and changes in orders that in our assessment no longerdo not meet the accounting requirements of ASC 606 for inclusion in backlog, changes in projected price escalation and deliveries in excess of new orders.partially offset by aircraft order cancellations. Aircraft order cancellations during the six months ended June 30, 20202021 totaled $19,755$21,626 million and primarily relate to 737 MAX and 787 aircraft. The ASC 606 adjustments totaled $23,906for the six months ended June 30, 2021 resulted in an increase to backlog of $2,737 million and primarily relatedue to 777X aircraft, partially offset by 737 MAX and 787 aircraft. The ASC 606 adjustments include aircraft orders where a customer controlled contingency now exists, as well as orders where we can no longer assert that the customer is committed to perform or that it is probable that the customer will pay the full amount of consideration when it is due. If 737 MAX aircraft remain grounded in certain jurisdictions for an extended period of time and/or if entry into service of the 777X, 737 MAX 7 and/or 737 MAX 10 is further delayed, we may experience additional reductions to backlog and/or significant order cancellations. Additionally, we may continue to experience fewer new orders and increased cancellations across all of our commercial airplane programs as a result the COVID-19 pandemic.pandemic and associated impacts on demand.

Program Highlights
737 Program We reduced the programThe accounting quantity from 10,400 at December 31, 2019 to 10,000 at March 31, 2020. This reflects a slower than previously planned production rate ramp-up causedfor the 737 program increased by commercial airline industry uncertainty400 and 200 units during the six and three months ended June 30, 2021 due to the impactprogram's normal progress of COVID-19.obtaining additional orders and delivering airplanes. See further discussion of the 737 MAX Grounding and COVID-19 Impacts and Product Warranties in Note 109 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
747 Program We are currently producing at a rate of 0.5 aircraft per month. We will complete production of the 747 in 2022. We believe that ending production of the 747 will 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 1224 units during the second quarter of 2020three months ended June 30, 2021 due to the program's normal progress of obtaining additional orders and delivering airplanes. The 767 assembly line includes the commercial program and a derivative to support the KC-46A tanker program. The commercial program has near breakeven gross margins. We are currently producing at a rate of 3 aircraft per month.
777 Programand 777X Programs There were no changes to the accounting quantities for the 777 and 777X programs during the first or second quarter of 2021. The production rate expectation for the combined 777/777X program remains at 2 per month in 2021.
In 2013, we launched the 777X,777X-8 and 777X-9, which features afeature new composite wing,wings, new engines and folding wing-tips. We have experienced issues in engine design and development on the 777X. The first flight of the 777X was completed during the first quarter of 2020. We continue to anticipate that the first 777X delivery will occur in late 2023. We recorded a $6.5 billion reach-forward loss on January 25,the 777X program in the fourth quarter of 2020. We did not record an increase to the reach-forward loss in the first or second quarter of 2021.
The 777X fourth quarter revised schedule and reach-forward loss reflected a number of factors, including an updated assessment of global certification requirements informed by continued discussions with regulators and a management decision in the fourth quarter of 2020 and first delivery is now targeted for 2022. The 777 and 777X programs have a combined production rate of approximately 5 per month gradually reducing to 2 per month in 2021. We expectmake modifications to deliver atthe aircraft’s design, an average rate of approximately 2.5 per month in 2020.
Market uncertainties driven primarily by the impactsupdated assessment of COVID-19 are resultingimpacts on market demand, and discussions with our customers with respect to aircraft delivery timing. These factors resulted in lower plannedadjustments to production rates and creating significant pressure on the 777X program's revenueprogram accounting quantity, increased change incorporation costs, and cost estimates. Based on our assessmentassociated customer and supply chain impacts.
The timing of the probable range of initial accounting quantities,certification will ultimately be determined by the 777X does not have a reach-forward loss at June 30, 2020. regulators, and further determinations with respect to anticipated certification requirements could result in additional delays in entry into service and/or additional cost increases.
The level of profitability on the 777X program will be subject to a number of factors. These factors include continued market uncertainty, the impacts of COVID-19 on our productivityproduction system as well as impacts on our supply chain and customers, customer negotiations, further production rate adjustments for the 777X or other commercial aircraft programs, contraction of the accounting quantity and potential risks associated with the testing program and the timing of aircraft certification. One or more of these factors could result in aadditional reach-forward losslosses on the 777X program in future periods.
787 Program
During the second quarter of 2020, we experienced significant reductions in deliveries due to the impacts of COVID-19 on our customers as well as travel restrictionsproduction issues and the temporary suspension of production operationsassociated rework. At December 31, 2020, we had approximately 80 787 aircraft in the Puget Sound areainventory. Deliveries resumed in March 2021 and South Carolina. Pre-COVID-19, wetwo aircraft were producing at a rate of 14 per month and had planned to adjust the 787 production rate to 12 per monthdelivered in late 2020 and to 10 per month in early 2021. Due to the impacts of COVID-19 on customer demand, we are currently producing at a rate of 10 per month and plan to reduce to 6 per month in 2021. As a result of the planned production rate changes, we reduced the accounting quantity for the 787 program by 100 units during the first quarter of 2020.2021. We delivered 12 aircraft in the second quarter prior to deliveries being paused in May 2021. At June 30, 2021 we have approximately 100 aircraft in inventory. We are conducting inspections and rework and continue to engage in detailed discussions with the FAA on verification methodology for 787. In July 2021, we reprioritized production resources to support inspections and rework. While production resources focus on inspections and rework, the production rate will be temporarily below 5 per month. We expect the production rate to gradually return to 5 per month. We expect fewer than half of the 100 aircraft in inventory at June 30, 2021 to be delivered by the end of 2021. We continue to work with customers and implement changes in the production process designed to
ensure that newly-built airplanes meet our specifications and do not require further inspections. During the first quarter of 2021, we consolidated 787 production in South Carolina, in line with our previous assumptions, which did not have a significant financial impact on the program. The 787 program has near breakeven gross margins due tomargins. The production issues and associated rework, as well as the reductions intemporary rate reduction and delivery pause, are pressuring gross margins. China is a significant market for the production rates787 program, and the reduction inif the program accounting quantity.is unable to obtain orders from China in future quarters, we may be required to adjust production rate assumptions. If we are required to further reduce the accounting quantity and/or production rates, experience further delivery delays, or experience other factors that could result in lower margins, the program could record a reach-forward loss in future periods.
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 and 737 MAX derivatives, involves increased risks associated with meeting development, production and certification schedules. These challenges include increased global regulatory scrutiny of all development aircraft in the wake of the 737 MAX accidents. 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, the addition of regulatory requirements in connection with certification in one or more jurisdictions, flight test and certification schedules, costs, schedule and demand for new airplanes and derivatives and status of customer claims, supplier claims or 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 of 2019 raised the Budget Control Act limits on federal discretionary defense and non-defense spending for fiscal years 2020 and 2021 (FY20 and FY21), reducing budget uncertainty and the risk of sequestration. The consolidatedOmnibus appropriations acts for FY20,fiscal year 2021 (FY21), enacted in December 2019,2020, provided FY20FY21 appropriations for government departments and agencies, including $704 billion for the United States Department of Defense (U.S. DoD), $23 billion for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and $18 billion for the Federal Aviation Administration. In February 2020, the U.S. administration submitted its request for $740.5 billion in base national defense spending forAdministration (FAA). FY21 congruent with the amended spending limit.
The enacted FY20 appropriations included funding for Boeing’s major programs, such as the F/A-18 Super Hornet, F-15EX, CH-47 Chinook, AH-64 Apache, V-22 Osprey, KC-46A Tanker, P-8 Poseidon and Space Launch System. However,
In May 2021, the U.S. government released the President’s budget request for fiscal year 2022 (FY22), which included $715 billion in funding for the U.S. DoD, $25 billion in funding for NASA and $19 billion for the FAA. While the President’s Budget request for FY22 includes funding for a majority of Boeing’s programs, it did not include funding for F/A-18 Super Hornet, P-8 Poseidon and H-47F Block II production aircraft. While there continues to beis some continued congressional support for F/A-18 and H-47F Block II production aircraft for FY22, there is ongoing uncertainty with respect to futurethese and other program-level appropriations for the U.S. DoDFY22 and other government agencies, including NASA.future fiscal years. Future budget cuts or investment priority changes, including changes associated with the authorizations and appropriations process, could result in reductions, cancellations, and/or delays of existing contracts or programs. Any of these impacts could have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position, and/or cash flows. These programs also continue to pursue non-U.S. sales opportunities.

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.

Revenues
BDS revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased2021 increased by $536$1,431 million compared with the same period in 2019,2020, primarily due to higher revenue on the unfavorable impactKC-46A Tanker program due to new orders for 27 aircraft received during the first quarter of 2021, and the absence of charges related to the KC-46A Tanker program in 2021, which reduced revenue in 2020. Favorable cumulative contract catch-up adjustments for the six months ended June 30, 2020, which was $4452021 were $466 million higher than the comparable period in the prior year. The decrease was also driven by lower volume in KC-46A Tanker and P-8 commercial derivative programsyear due to COVID-19 disruptions, which were largely offset by higher volume in fighter and surveillance aircraft.the absence of Tanker charges.
BDS revenues for the three months ended June 30, 20202021 increased by $9$288 million compared with the same period in 2019. Lower volume from COVID-19 disruption in KC-46A Tanker and P-8 commercial2020, primarily due to higher military derivative programs was more than offset by higher F/A-18 and Space Launch System volume and the impact from cumulative contract catch-up adjustments to revenue. Theaircraft revenues. Additionally, favorable cumulative contract catch-up adjustments for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared with the same period in 2020 was $85were $80 million more favorablehigher than the comparable period in the prior year reflecting less unfavorable adjustments comparedlargely due to the prior period.a favorable non-U.S. contract adjustment.
Earnings From Operations
BDS earnings from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased2021 increased by $1,418$954 million compared with the same period in 2019, primarilylargely due to the absence of charges related to the KC-46A Tanker program. The first quarter of 2020 included charges of $827 million and $168 million related to KC-46A Tanker and VC-25B. The first quarter of 2021 included an increase to the reach-forward loss on VC-25B of $318 million, which is largely due to COVID-19 impacts and performance issues at a key supplier. As a result, the net unfavorable impact of cumulative contract catch-up adjustments for the six months ended June 30, 2020 which2021 were $860$744 million higherlower than the prior year primarily due to charges of $978 million on KC-46A Tanker, a $168 million chargecomparable period in the first quarter of 2020 on VC-25B, as well as gains on property sales in 2019. The KC-46A Tanker reach-forward loss in the first quarter of 2020 reflects $551 million of costs associated with the agreement signed in April 2020 with the U.S. Air Force to develop and integrate a new Remote Vision System, and the remaining costs reflect productivity inefficiencies and COVID-19 related factory disruption. The reach-forward loss on VC-25B was associated with engineering inefficiencies from the COVID-19 environment. We believe these inefficiencies will result in staffing challenges, schedule inefficiencies, and higher costs in the upcoming phases of the program.prior year.
BDS earnings from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020 decreased by $3752021 increased $358 million compared with the same period in 2019,2020 largely due to higher favorable net contract cumulative catch-up adjustments which were $130 million more favorable than the prior year period largely due to a gainfavorable adjustment in 2021 on property salea non-U.S. contract and the absence of charges in 2019, an increase2021 related to the reach-forward loss on KC-46A TankerTanker.
BDS earnings from operations includes equity earnings of $151$37 million in 2020 primarily driven by additional fixed cost allocation resulting from lower commercial airplane production volume due to COVID-19, and revenue mix changes. These were partially offset by $84$30 million of favorable cumulative contract catch-up adjustments for the six and three months ended June 30, 20202021 compared to the prior period due to improved performance.
BDS earnings from operations includeswith equity earnings of $35 million and equity loss of $2 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $65 million and $12 million for the same periods in 2019.2020. The year over year variance reflect lowerhigher earnings from our United Launch Alliance joint venture.
Backlog
TotalBDS backlog decreased from $60,847 million as of $64,286December 31, 2020 to $58,705 million at June 30, 2020 was largely unchanged from December 31, 2019.2021, primarily due to revenue recognized on contracts awarded in prior periods.
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-price proposals for new programs. Examples of significant fixed-price development programs include Commercial Crew, KC-46A Tanker, MQ-25, T-7A Red Hawk, VC-25B, 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. 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.

BGS revenues for the six and three months ended June 30, 20202021 decreased by $1,046 million and $1,055$300 million compared with the same periodsperiod in 20192020 primarily due to lower commercial services revenue, driven by impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. These were partially offset by growthhigher government volume. Commercial services revenue is lower in government2021 as the COVID-19 pandemic had minimal impact on commercial services revenue.revenue in the first quarter of 2020. The net favorable impact of cumulative contract catch-up adjustments for the six and three months ended June 30, 20202021 were $74$54 million lower and $10 million lowerhigher than the comparable periodsperiod in the prior year. We expect the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic to continue to reducehave an adverse impact on BGS commercial revenues in future quarters until the commercial airline industry environment recovers.
Earnings/LossBGS revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased by $579 million compared with the same period in 2020 primarily due to higher commercial services volume. While commercial services volume is beginning to recover in the second quarter of 2021, it remains below pre-pandemic levels. The net favorable impact of cumulative contract catch-up adjustments for the three months ended June 30, 2021 were $1 million lower than the comparable period in the prior year. We expect the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic to continue to have an adverse impact on BGS commercial revenues in future quarters until the commercial airline industry environment recovers.
Earnings From Operations
BGS earnings from operations of $36 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $1,3042021 increased by $936 million lower thancompared with the same period in 2019. Loss from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020, was $672 million compared with earnings from operations of $687 million in the same period in 2019. The decreases compared with the same periods in 2019 reflect earningsprimarily due to lower commercial services revenue, as well as earnings charges incurred in the second quarter of 2020. Second2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Charges in the second quarter earnings chargesof 2020 included $370 million for higher expected credit losses primarily driven by customer liquidity issues, $237 million of inventory write-downs and $153 million of related impairments of distribution rights primarily driven by airlines' decisions to retire certain aircraft, $99 million of contract termination and facility impairments charges, and $64 million for severance costs. These charges reflect the significant impacts of COVID-19 on commercial airline customers’ liquidity and demand for certain products as customers' fleet plans evolve to adapt to the sharp reduction in demand for air travel. While the operating losses incurred in the second quarter of 2020 are not necessarily indicative of future quarters, we expect the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic to continue to reduce future earnings until the commercial airline industry environment recovers.
The net favorable impact of cumulative contract catch-up adjustments for the six andmonths ended June 30, 2021 were $63 million higher than the comparable period in the prior year.
BGS earnings from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $531 million compared with a loss of $672 million during the same period in 2020, primarily due to charges incurred in the second quarter of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and higher commercial services revenue.

Payables to suppliers who elected to participate in supply chain financing programs declineddecreased by $1.3$0.4 billion forduring the six months ended June 30, 2020 and increased by $1.82021 compared with $1.3 billion for the same period in the prior year.2020. The decrease for both periods is primarily due to reductions in commercial purchases from suppliers. Supply chain financing is not material to our overall liquidity. The decline for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was primarily due to reductions in commercial purchases from suppliers and not due to any changes in the availability of supply chain financing. The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2019 reflects a combination of higher purchases, an extension of payment terms with certain suppliers and increased utilization of our supply chain financing programs.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020 we did not repurchase any shares through our open market share repurchase program compared to share repurchasesDuring the six months ended June 30, 2020 we paid dividends of $1.2 billion compared with $2.3 billion in the same period in 2019. In March 2020, the Company announced that our dividend will be suspended until further notice.
Capital Resources The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, and 737 MAX grounding, and reduction in 787 deliveries are having a significant negative impact on our liquidity and ongoing operations and creating significant uncertainty. We have and are continuing to take significant actions to manage and preserve our liquidity. For further discussion see Liquidity Matters in Note 1 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Currently,At June 30, 2021, we have $9.6had $8.3 billion of cash and $13.1 billion of short term investments. At June 30, 2021, we had $14.8 billion of unused borrowing capacity on revolving credit line agreements.agreements, of which $3.1 billion expires in October 2021, $3.2 billion expires in October 2022, $5.3 billion expires in March 2023, and $3.2 billion expires in October 2024. The facility scheduled to expire in October 2021 has a one-year term out option that allows us to extend the maturity of any borrowings one additional year. We anticipate that these credit lines will remain undrawn and primarily serve as backupback-up liquidity to support our general corporate borrowing needs.
Any future borrowings may affect our credit ratings and are subject to various debt covenants. At June 30, 2020,2021, 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.
Customer Financing commitments totaled $12.8$13.5 billion and $13.4$11.5 billion at June 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019.2020. The decrease primarilyincrease relates to new financing commitment expirations.commitments. 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.
For discussion regarding Embraer see Note 18 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We are a party to certain off-balance sheet arrangements including certain guarantees. For discussion of these arrangements, see Note 1110 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 1817 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Environmental Remediation We are involved with various environmental remediation activities and have recorded a liability of $560$582 million at June 30, 2020.2021. For additional information, see Note 109 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Non-GAAP Measures
Core Operating Earnings, Core Operating Margin and Core Earnings Per Share
Our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (GAAP) which we supplement with certain non-GAAP financial information. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures, and other companies may define such measures differently. We encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. Core operating earnings, core operating margin and core earnings per share exclude the FAS/CAS service cost adjustment. The FAS/CAS service cost adjustment represents the difference between the FASFinancial Accounting Standards (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 adjustments recognized in LossEarnings/(loss) from operations were benefits of $384 million and $191 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2021, compared with benefits of $513 million and $258 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2020, compared with benefits of $549 million and $275 million during the same periods in 2019.2020. The non-operating pension expenses included in Other income, net were benefits of $352 million and $175 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2021, compared with benefits of $171 million and $84 million for the six and three months ended June 30, 2020, compared with benefits of $187 million and $94 million for the same periods in 2019.2020. The benefits in 20202021 reflect expected returns in excess of interest cost and amortization of actuarial losses.
For further discussion of pension and other postretirement costs see the Management’s Discussion and Analysis on page 4043 of this Form 10-Q and on page 4857 of our 20192020 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 costs primarily represent costs driven by market factors and costs not allocable to U.S. government contracts.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We have financial instruments that are subject to interest rate risk, principally fixed- and floating-rate debt obligations, and customer financing assets and liabilities. The investors in our fixed-rate debt obligations do not generally have the right to demand we pay off these obligations prior to maturity. Therefore, exposure to interest rate risk is not believed to be material for our fixed-rate debt. In the first quarterAs of 2020,June 30, 2021, we entered into a $13.8have $4 billion remaining on our two-year delayed draw floating-rate term loan credit agreement. An increase or decrease of 100 basis points in interest rates on this floating-rate debt would increase or decrease our pre-tax earningsloss by $138$26 million over the next 12 months. Historically, we have not experienced material gains or losses on our customer financing assets and liabilities due to interest rate changes.
There have been no significant changes to our foreign currency exchange rate or commodity price risk since December 31, 2019.2020.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 20202021 and have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b)Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.
There were no changes that occurred during the second quarter of 20202021 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Currently, we are involved in a number of legal proceedings. For a discussion of contingencies related to legal proceedings, see Note 1817 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which is hereby incorporated by reference.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Certain risks described below update theThere have been no material changes in our 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, 2019.2020.
We face significant risks related to the spread of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and the recent developments surrounding the global pandemic have had, and will continue to have, significant effects on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. We also face significant risks related to the global economic downturn and severe reduction in commercial air traffic caused by the pandemic. These risks include materially reduced demand for our products and services, increased instability in our supply chain, and challenges to the ongoing viability of some of our customers. We may face similar risks in connection with any future public health crises, including any resurgence in the spread of COVID-19.
The COVID-19 pandemic has subjected our business, operations, financial performance, cash flows and financial condition to a number of risks, including, but not limited to those discussed below.
Operations-related risks: As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are facing increased operational challenges from the need to protect employee health and safety. These challenges have included, and may in the future include production site shutdowns, and workplace disruptions and restrictions on the movement of people, raw materials and goods, both at our own facilities and at our customers and suppliers.
For example, during the second quarter, we temporarily suspended operations in Puget Sound, South Carolina, and Philadelphia, as well as at several other key production sites. We had not previously experienced a complete suspension of our operations at these production sites. While we have resumed operations at each of our key production sites we cannot predict where further production disruptions will be required or what the ongoing impact of COVID-19-related operating restrictions will be. For example, we continue to experience additional operating costs due to social distancing requirements and other factors related to COVID-19 restrictions. We cannot predict the impact that future production disruptions may have on our business, operations, financial performance and financial condition. We consult regularly with relevant federal, state, and municipal health authorities regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, and we may be required to impose additional operational restrictions and/or suspend operations at key production sites based on their recommendations and/or workplace disruptions caused by COVID-19.
Many of our suppliers also were required to suspend operations during the second quarter, and they may experience additional disruptions in the coming months. Any such disruptions could have severe adverse impacts on our production costs delivery schedule and/or ability to meet customer commitments.
Any prolonged suspension of operations or delayed recovery in our operations, and/or any similar delay with respect to resumption of operations by one or more of our key suppliers, or the failure of any of our key suppliers, would result in further challenges to our business, leading to a further material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.
Liquidity risks:The COVID-19 pandemic has also had a significant impact on our liquidity and overall debt levels. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, net cash used by operating activities was $9.6 billion. At June 30, 2020, cash and short-term investments totaled $32.4 billion. Our debt balance totaled $61.4 billion at June 30, 2020, up from $27.3 billion at December 31, 2019. We expect negative operating cash flows in future quarters until deliveries resume and ramp up, and if the pace and scope of the recovery are worse than we currently contemplate, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to fund our operations and obligations. If we were to need to obtain additional financing, uncertainty related to COVID-19
and its impact on us and the aerospace industry could limit our access to credit markets and we may have difficulty obtaining financing on terms acceptable to us or at all. In addition, certain of our customers may also be unable to make timely payments to us. Factors that could limit our access to additional liquidity include disruptions in the global capital markets and/or additional declines in our financial performance, outlook or credit ratings. The occurrence of any or all of these events would be expected to adversely affect our ability to fund our operations and contractual commitments. In addition, downgrades in our credit ratings could adversely affect our cost of funds and related margins, liquidity, competitive position and access to capital markets, and a significant downgrade could have an adverse impact on our businesses.
Customer-related risks: Commercial air traffic has fallen dramatically due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While this trend has impacted passenger traffic most severely, near-term cargo traffic has also fallen significantly due to the global economic downturn and the reduction in cargo capacity on passenger airplanes. Most airlines have significantly reduced their capacity, and many could implement further reductions in the near future. Many airlines are also implementing significant reductions in staffing. These capacity changes are causing, and are expected to continue to cause, negative impacts to our customers’ revenue, earnings, and cash flow, and in some cases may threaten the future viability of some of our customers, potentially causing defaults within our customer financing portfolio, which was $2.2 billion as of June 30, 2020 and/or requiring us to remarket aircraft that have already been produced and/or are currently in backlog. If 737 MAX aircraft remain grounded for an extended period of time, we may experience additional reductions to backlog and/or significant order cancellations. Additionally, we may experience fewer new orders and increased cancellations across all of our commercial airplane programs as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated impacts on demand. Our customers may also lack sufficient liquidity to purchase new aircraft due to impacts from the pandemic. We are also observing a significant increase in the number of requests for payment deferrals, contract modifications, lease restructurings and similar actions, and these trends may lead to additional charges, impairments and other adverse financial impacts in our business over time. In addition, to the extent that customers have valid rights to cancel undelivered aircraft, we may be required to refund pre-delivery payments, putting additional constraints on our liquidity.
In addition to the near-term impact, there is risk that the industry implements longer-term strategies involving reduced capacity, shifting route patterns, and mitigation strategies related to impacts from COVID-19 and the risk of future public health crises. In addition, airlines may experience reduced demand due to reluctance by the flying public to travel due to travel restrictions and/or social distancing requirements.
As a result, there is significant uncertainty with respect to when commercial air traffic levels will begin to recover, and whether and at what point capacity will return to and/or exceed pre-COVID-19 levels. The COVID-19 pandemic also has increased, and its aftermath is also expected to continue to increase, uncertainty with respect to global trade volumes, putting significant negative pressure on cargo traffic. Any of these factors would have a significant impact on the demand for both single-aisle and wide-body commercial aircraft, as well as for the services we provide to commercial airlines. In addition, a lengthy period of reduced industry-wide demand for commercial aircraft would put additional pressure on our suppliers, resulting in increased procurement costs and/or additional supply chain disruption. To the extent that the COVID-19 pandemic or its aftermath further impacts demand for our products and services or impairs the viability of some of our customers and/or suppliers, our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be adversely affected, and those impacts could be material.
Other risks: The magnitude and duration of the global COVID-19 pandemic is uncertain. As the pandemic continues to adversely affect our business and operating and financial results, it also is expected to have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in the risk factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Further, the COVID-19 pandemic may also affect our operating and financial results in a manner that is not presently known to us or that we currently do not expect to present significant risks to our operations or financial results.
