    The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] reported fourth-quarter revenue of $23.6 billion
    and core earnings per share (Non-GAAP)* of $1.60 (Table 1). Fourth quarter 2015
    results reflect the previously announced $569 million after-tax charge ($0.84
    per share) on the 747 program as a result of a slow recovery in the air cargo
    market which was partially offset by solid core operating performance across
    the company. GAAP earnings per share was $1.51.

    Revenue rose 6 percent in the full year to a record $96.1 billion reflecting
    record commercial deliveries. Core earnings per share (Non-GAAP)* totaled $7.72
    for the full year, reflecting the KC-46 Tanker (2Q) and 747 program (4Q)
    charges ($1.61 per share) partially offset by strong core operating performance
    across the company. GAAP earnings per share totaled $7.44 for the full year.

    Core earnings per share (non-GAAP)* guidance for 2016 is set at between $8.15
    and $8.35, while GAAP earnings per share is established at between $8.45 and
    $8.65. Revenue guidance is between $93 and $95 billion, including commercial
    deliveries of between 740 and 745. Operating cash flow is expected to be
    approximately $10 billion.

    "Building on our foundation of solid core operating performance and customer
    focus, Boeing extended its leadership of the aerospace industry in 2015 with
    record deliveries and revenues in commercial airplanes, and solid sales and
    healthy margins in our defense and space business. We also generated
    significant cash flow to fuel investments in innovation and our people, and
    provide compelling returns to our shareholders," said Boeing President and
    Chief Executive Officer Dennis Muilenburg.  "With clear strategies and strong
    positions in our markets, a large and diverse order backlog worth nearly $500
    billion, and multiple additional production rate increases planned yet this
    decade, we are well positioned for profitable growth and higher cash flow as we
    move into our second century in business."

    "Our priorities for 2016 and beyond are to build on our existing strengths to
    deliver on current plans and commitments, and to stretch beyond them by
    accelerating progress on key enterprise growth and productivity initiatives,
    investing in our team, and creating more value and opportunity for our
    customers, shareholders and employees," Muilenburg said.

    Operating cash flow in the quarter was $3.1 billion, reflecting commercial
    airplane production rates, solid core operating performance and the timing of
    receipts and expenditures in the prior period (Table 2). During the quarter,
    the company repurchased 5 million shares for $0.8 billion and paid $0.6 billion
    in dividends. For the full year, the company repurchased 47 million shares for
    $6.8 billion and paid $2.5 billion in dividends. Based on strong cash
    generation and outlook, in December, the board of directors raised the share
    repurchase authorization to $14 billion, replacing the authorization approved
    in 2014 of which $5.3 billion was remaining, and increased the quarterly
    dividend 20 percent. Share repurchases under the new authorization are expected
    to be made over the next two to three years.

    Commercial Airplanes fourth-quarter revenue decreased slightly to $16.1 billion
    on lower delivery volume (Table 4). Fourth-quarter operating margin was 3.5
    percent, reflecting the previously announced $885 million pre-tax charge on the
    747 program and higher R&D partially offset by strong performance on production
    programs.

    During the quarter, Commercial Airplanes won orders for 203 737 MAX airplanes.
    The 737 program has captured nearly 3,100 orders for the 737 MAX since launch.
    Also during the quarter, the company completed detailed design for the 787-10
    Dreamliner, final systems definition on the 777X, and rolled out the first 737
    MAX airplane.

    Commercial Airplanes booked 321 net orders during the quarter and 768 net
    orders in 2015. Backlog remains strong with nearly 5,800 airplanes valued at
    $432 billion.

    At quarter-end, Boeing Capital's net portfolio balance was $3.4 billion,
    unchanged from the beginning of the quarter. Unallocated items and eliminations
    revenue totaled $408 million at quarter end, up from $112 million in the same
    period of the prior year, primarily due to the timing of eliminations for
    intercompany aircraft deliveries. Total pension expense for the fourth quarter
    was $529 million, down from $772 million in the same period of the prior year.
    The company's income tax expense was $73 million in the quarter, compared to
    $464 million in the same period of the prior year.

                            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. A reconciliation between the GAAP and
    non-GAAP measures is provided on page 14.

    Operating Cash Flow Before Pension Contributions

    Operating cash flow before pension contributions is defined as GAAP operating
    cash flow without 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 without 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.

    "should," "expects," "intends," "projects," "plans," "believes," "estimates,"
    "targets," "anticipates," and similar expressions are used to identify these
    forward-looking statements. Examples of forward-looking statements include
    statements relating to our future financial condition and operating results, as
    well as any other statement that does not directly relate to any historical or
    current fact. Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations
    and assumptions, which may not prove to be accurate. These statements are not
    guarantees and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and changes in
    circumstances that are difficult to predict. Many factors could cause actual
    results to differ materially and adversely from these forward-looking
    statements. Among these factors are risks related to: (1) general conditions in
    the economy and our industry, including those due to regulatory changes; (2)
    our reliance on our commercial airline customers; (3) the overall health of our
    aircraft production system, planned production rate increases across multiple
    commercial airline programs, our commercial development and derivative aircraft
    programs, and our aircraft being subject to stringent performance and
    reliability standards; (4) changing budget and appropriation levels and
    acquisition priorities of the U.S. government; (5) our dependence on U.S.
    government contracts; (6) our reliance on fixed-price contracts; (7) our
    reliance on cost-type contracts; (8) uncertainties concerning contracts that
    include in-orbit incentive payments; (9) our dependence on our subcontractors
    and suppliers, as well as the availability of raw materials, (10) changes in
    accounting estimates; (11) changes in the competitive landscape in our markets;
    (12) our non-U.S. operations, including sales to non-U.S. customers; (13)
    potential adverse developments in new or pending litigation and/or government
    investigations; (14) customer and aircraft concentration in Boeing Capital's
    customer financing portfolio; (15) changes in our ability to obtain debt on
    commercially reasonable terms and at competitive rates in order to fund our
    operations and contractual commitments; (16) realizing the anticipated benefits
    of mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures/strategic alliances or divestitures;
    (17) the adequacy of our insurance coverage to cover significant risk
    exposures; (18) potential business disruptions, including those related to
    physical security threats, information technology or cyber-attacks, epidemics,
    sanctions or natural disasters; (19) work stoppages or other labor disruptions;
    (20) significant changes in discount rates and actual investment return on
    pension assets; (21) potential environmental liabilities; and (22) threats to
    the security of our or our customers' information.

    Additional information concerning these and other factors can be found in our
    filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our most recent
    Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports
    on Form 8-K. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which
    it is made, and we assume no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
    statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise,
    except as required by law.
