The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA) reported first-quarter core earnings per share (non-GAAP) increased 24 percent* to $1.73, driven by strong performance across the company’s businesses (Table 1). First-quarter 2013 results included the expected benefit of $0.19 per share for the 2012 research and development tax credit; first-quarter 2012 included a benefit of $0.11 per share related to a favorable court judgment on satellite litigation. First-quarter core operating earnings (non-GAAP) increased 14 percent* to $1.9 billion from the same period of the prior year when excluding the benefit of $131 million related to the favorable court judgment. First-quarter revenue was $18.9 billion, earnings from operations was $1.5 billion and earnings per share was $1.44. The company reaffirmed its 2013 financial and deliveries guidance.

“Strong core operating performance fueled by productivity gains and solid program execution drove higher company earnings and double-digit operating margins in both major businesses during the quarter,” said Boeing Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Jim McNerney. “Commercial Airplanes worked around the clock to resolve the 787 battery issue while also successfully increasing production rates on the 737 and 777 programs. Defense, Space & Security continued to perform exceptionally well, meeting tough affordability goals while investing in future growth.”

“Our first priority in the days ahead is to fully restore our customers’ 787 fleets to service and resume production deliveries. Our outlook for the year is positive, and our financial and delivery guidance is reaffirmed as we remain focused on the profitable ramp up in commercial airplane production rates, disciplined execution of our development programs, and continued growth in core, adjacent and international defense and space markets.”

1 Marketable securities consists primarily of time deposits due within one year classified as “short-term investments.”

 

Cash and investments in marketable securities totaled $11.8 billion at quarter-end (Table 3), down from $13.5 billion at the beginning of the year, primarily due to the pay-down of maturing debt. Debt was $9.2 billion, down from $10.4 billion at year-end, due to the maturities.

Total company backlog at year-end was a record $392 billion, up from $390 billion at the beginning of the year, and included net orders for the quarter of $20 billion.

Segment Results

Commercial Airplanes

Table 4. Commercial Airplanes Operating Results First Quarter
(Dollars in Millions) 2013 2012 Change
Commercial Airplanes Deliveries 137 137
Revenues $10,690 $10,937 (2)%
Earnings from Operations $1,219 $1,081 13 %
Operating Margins 11.4% 9.9% 1.5 Pts

 

Boeing Commercial Airplanes first-quarter revenue decreased to $10.7 billion on delivery mix and lower services revenue. First-quarter operating margin improved to 11.4%, reflecting the delivery mix and lower R&D, partially offset by higher period costs (Table 4).

During the quarter, Commercial Airplanes delivered the first 777 aircraft produced at a record production rate of 8.3-per-month and reached a four-year contract extension with the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace (SPEEA). In April, Commercial Airplanes delivered the first 737 produced at a record production rate of 38-per-month.

In April, approval was given by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for airlines to begin the process of returning the 787 to service with an enhanced battery system. The company is committed to the safety of all of our airplanes and has worked diligently alongside authorities to further enhance the safety of the 787.

Commercial Airplanes booked 209 net orders during the quarter. Backlog remains strong with more than 4,400 airplanes valued at a record $324 billion.

Boeing Defense, Space & Security

Table 5. Defense, Space & Security Operating Results First Quarter

Global Services & Support $246 $234 5 %
Total BDS Earnings from Operations $832 $742 12 %
Operating Margins 10.3% 9.0% 1.3 Pts

 

Boeing Defense, Space & Security’s (BDS) first-quarter revenue was $8.1 billion, while operating margin was 10.3 percent (Table 5).

Boeing Military Aircraft (BMA) first-quarter revenue was $4.1 billion, primarily reflecting lower revenue on the F-15 program, partially offset by higher C-17 and Apache deliveries. Operating margin increased to 10.5 percent, due to delivery mix. During the quarter, BMA delivered the first Indian Air Force C-17 to flight test and completed the second Phantom Eye flight.

Network & Space Systems (N&SS) first-quarter revenue increased to $2.0 billion, primarily driven by higher volume in satellite programs as well as the Space Launch System program. Operating margin increased to 8.0 percent, reflecting the increased volume and mix in satellite programs. During the quarter, N&SS was awarded a contract in the small satellite business and had a successful flight test of the Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) system.

Global Services & Support (GS&S) first-quarter revenue was $2.0 billion, reflecting lower volume in integrated logistics. Operating margin increased to 12.1 percent, reflecting improved performance in maintenance, modification and upgrades.

Backlog at BDS was $68 billion, of which 42 percent represents orders with international customers.

* Non-GAAP measures. Complete definitions of Boeing’s use of non-GAAP measures begin on page 7, “Non-GAAP Measures Disclosures.”

 

Non-GAAP Measures Disclosures

We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) with certain non-GAAP financial information. The non-GAAP financial information presented excludes certain significant items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, results from our ongoing business operations. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide investors with additional insight into the company’s ongoing business performance. 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. The following definitions are provided:

Core Operating Earnings, Core Operating Margin and Core Earnings Per Share

Core operating earnings is defined as GAAP earnings from operations excluding unallocated pension and post-retirement expense. Core operating margin is defined as core operating earnings expressed as a percentage of revenue. Core earnings per share is defined as GAAP diluted earnings per share excluding the net earnings per share impact of unallocated pension and post-retirement expense. Unallocated pension and post-retirement expense represents the portion of pension and other post-retirement costs that are not recognized by business segments for segment reporting purposes. 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 they exclude unallocated pension and post-retirement costs, which primarily represent costs driven by market factors and costs not allocable to government contracts.

Increase in Core Operating Earnings Excluding Favorable Court Judgment

The company is disclosing the increase in core operating earnings in first quarter of 2013 over first quarter of 2012 excluding the impact of the favorable court judgment in the first quarter of 2012. The company believes it is useful to occasionally exclude certain items that are not reflective of underlying business performance and that can distort period to period performance comparisons. Management uses similar measures for purposes of evaluating and forecasting underlying business performance.

Operating Cash Flow Before Pension Contributions

Operating cash flow before pension contributions is defined as GAAP operating cash flow less pension contributions. Management believes operating cash flow before pension contributions provides additional insights into underlying business performance. Management uses operating cash flow before pension contributions as a measure to assess both business performance and overall liquidity. Table 2 provides a reconciliation between GAAP operating cash flow and operating cash flow before pension contributions.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow is defined as GAAP operating cash flow less capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment additions. Management believes free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available for shareholders, debt repayment, and acquisitions after making the capital investments required to support ongoing business operations and long term value creation. Free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures as it excludes certain mandatory expenditures such as repayment of maturing debt. Management uses free cash flow as a measure to assess both business performance and overall liquidity. Table 2 provides a reconciliation between GAAP operating cash flow and free cash flow.
