Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated interim financial statements included in this report have been prepared by management of The Boeing Company (herein referred to as “Boeing”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation are reflected in the interim financial statements. The results of operations for the period ended September 30, 2024, 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 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We added a new financial statement line item to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for cash invested in Supplier notes receivable and reclassified the corresponding amounts in the prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. Liquidity Matters During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net cash used by operating activities was $8.6 billion. The cash outflow was primarily driven by our commercial airplane business. Commercial airplane cash outflows reflect slowed production and deliveries as a result of ongoing safety and quality improvement actions the Company is taking following the Alaska Airlines accident on January 5, 2024, as well as supply chain constraints. Additionally, the ongoing work stoppage initiated on September 13, 2024, by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers District 751 (IAM 751) has paused production of certain commercial aircraft models (737, 767, 777 and 777X aircraft) as well as production of commercial derivative aircraft for our Defense, Space & Security business (KC-46A Tanker and P-8A Poseidon). The IAM 751 work stoppage is also significantly reducing aircraft deliveries and adversely impacting our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. At September 30, 2024, cash and short-term investments totaled $10.5 billion. Our total debt balance was $57.7 billion at September 30, 2024, up from $52.3 billion at December 31, 2023. On May 1, 2024, we issued $10 billion of fixed-rate senior notes. At September 30, 2024, we had $10.0 billion of unused borrowing capacity on revolving credit line agreements. On May 15, 2024, we entered into a $4.0 billion five-year revolving credit agreement expiring in May 2029. Our $3.0 billion three-year revolving credit agreement expiring in August 2025 and $3.0 billion five-year revolving credit agreement expiring in August 2028 each remain in effect. We anticipate these credit lines will primarily serve as back-up liquidity to support our general borrowing needs. On October 14, 2024, we entered into a $10.0 billion 364-day supplemental credit agreement (see Note 12 for additional information). We continue to be in full compliance with all covenants contained in our debt and credit facility agreements. We continue to maintain investment grade credit ratings. Moody’s downgraded our short term and long term credit ratings to Baa3/P-3 in April 2024. Moody's and S&P placed our ratings on review for downgrade in September 2024 and October 2024, respectively. A number of factors could cause us to incur increased borrowing costs and/or to have greater difficulty accessing public and private markets, including further credit rating downgrades. At September 30, 2024, trade payables included $2.7 billion payable to suppliers who have elected to participate in supply chain financing programs compared with $2.9 billion at December 31, 2023. In future quarters, our suppliers' access to supply chain financing could be curtailed or more expensive if our credit ratings are further downgraded. We are implementing actions to improve liquidity. We instituted temporary furloughs and hiring freezes across the Company for all levels and paused pay increases for executive and management promotions. We are reducing discretionary spending as well as reducing or deferring non-essential capital expenditures. We are also pausing the issuance of the majority of supplier purchase orders on the 737, 767, 777, and 777X programs due to IAM 751's ongoing work stoppage. In addition, on October 11, 2024, we announced that we plan to reduce the size of our total workforce by roughly 10 percent. Our planned acquisition of Spirit AeroSystems Holdings, Inc. (Spirit) will be an all-stock transaction pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger entered into on June 30, 2024 (see Note 2 for additional information). Notwithstanding the actions described above to improve liquidity, we expect negative operating cash flows in future quarters until IAM 751 employees return to work, production resumes and deliveries ramp up. Based on our current best estimates of market demand, planned production rates, timing of cash receipts and expenditures, and our expected ability to successfully implement actions to improve liquidity, we believe it is probable that we will be able to fund our operations for the foreseeable future. We also believe we have the ability to access additional liquidity. 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Goodwill We performed our annual goodwill impairment test as of April 1, 2024, using a qualitative assessment. We determined the fair value of each of our reporting units substantially exceeded their respective carrying values. Our Military Aircraft reporting unit within our Defense, Space & Security (BDS) segment had goodwill of $1,295 and a negative carrying value at September 30, 2024. Long-term Contracts Substantially all contracts at our BDS segment and certain contracts at our Global Services (BGS) segment are long-term contracts with the U.S. government and other customers that generally extend over several years. 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 revenues and costs at completion for a long-term contract indicate a loss, a provision for the entire reach-forward loss on the long-term contract is recognized. The table below reflects the impact of net cumulative catch-up adjustments for changes in estimated revenues and costs at completion across all long-term contracts, including the impact to Loss from operations from changes in estimated losses on unexercised options.

Spirit Acquisitions	Spirit Acquisition On June 30, 2024, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) pursuant to which we have agreed to acquire Spirit in an all-stock transaction at an equity value of approximately $4,700, or $37.25 per share of Spirit Class A Common Stock. The transaction will include the assumption of Spirit's net debt at closing. Each share of Spirit common stock will be exchanged for a number of shares of Boeing common stock equal to an exchange ratio between 0.18 and 0.25, calculated as $37.25 divided by the volume weighted average share price of Boeing shares over the 15-trading-day period ending on the second trading day prior to the closing (subject to a floor of $149.00 per share and a ceiling of $206.94 per share). Spirit stockholders will receive 0.25 Boeing shares for each of their Spirit shares if the volume-weighted average price is at or below $149.00, and 0.18 Boeing shares for each of their Spirit shares if the volume-weighted average price is at or above $206.94 per share. Boeing's acquisition of Spirit will include substantially all Boeing-related commercial operations, as well as certain other operations. Spirit has also entered into a binding term sheet with Airbus SE (Airbus) setting forth the terms upon which Airbus will, assuming the parties enter into definitive agreements and receive all required regulatory approvals, acquire certain commercial work packages that Spirit performs for Airbus concurrently with the closing of the Boeing-Spirit merger. In addition, Spirit is proposing to sell certain of its operations, including those in Belfast, Northern Ireland (non-Airbus operations); Prestwick, Scotland; Subang, Malaysia; Biddeford, Maine; and Woonsocket, Rhode Island. The transaction is expected to close mid-2025 and is subject to the sale of the Spirit operations related to certain Airbus commercial work packages and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including regulatory and Spirit stockholder approvals. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights, including that either Boeing or Spirit may terminate the Merger Agreement if, subject to certain limitations, the transaction has not been consummated by March 31, 2025 (subject to three automatic three-month extensions if on each such date all of the closing conditions except those relating to regulatory approvals have been satisfied or waived) (the Outside Date). Additionally, Spirit may terminate the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances to accept an unsolicited Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) from a third party, and we may terminate the Merger Agreement if, before Spirit stockholder approval has been obtained, the Spirit Board of Directors changes its recommendation that Spirit’s stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement. In addition, if either party breaches or fails to perform any of its representations, warranties or covenants under the Merger Agreement such that the related conditions to the other party's obligation to consummate the Merger would not be satisfied, and such breach or failure is not curable by the Outside Date or, if curable by the Outside Date, has not been cured within 30 days following notice thereof, such other party may terminate the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement provides that Spirit will be required to pay Boeing a termination fee of $150 if the Merger Agreement is terminated under specified circumstances in which the Spirit Board of Directors changes its recommendation that Spirit’s stockholders adopt the Merger Agreement, Spirit terminates the Merger Agreement in order to accept a Superior Proposal as set forth in the Merger Agreement, or Spirit consummates a Qualifying Transaction (as defined in the Merger Agreement) following the termination of the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement also provides that we will be required to pay Spirit a termination fee of $300 if the Merger Agreement is terminated by Spirit or Boeing under certain specified circumstances as a result of the parties' failure to obtain the required regulatory approvals by the Outside Date or in the event that any law or order related to the required regulatory approvals or any applicable antitrust law or foreign investment law prohibits the consummation of the Merger.

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	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 attributable to Boeing Shareholders, 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 attributable to Boeing Shareholders, less earnings available to participating securities, divided by the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding is calculated using the treasury stock method. The elements used in the computation of Basic and Diluted loss per share were as follows: (In millions - except per share amounts) Nine months ended September 30 Three months ended September 30 2024 2023 2024 2023 Net loss attributable to Boeing Shareholders ($7,952) ($2,199) ($6,170) ($1,636) Less: earnings available to participating securities Net loss available to common shareholders ($7,952) ($2,199) ($6,170) ($1,636) Basic Basic weighted average shares outstanding 616.1 605.0 618.8 607.2 Less: participating securities (1) 0.3 0.3 0.2 0.3 Basic weighted average common shares outstanding 615.8 604.7 618.6 606.9 Diluted Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 616.1 605.0 618.8 607.2 Less: participating securities (1) 0.3 0.3 0.2 0.3 Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding 615.8 604.7 618.6 606.9 Net loss per share: Basic ($12.91) ($3.64) ($9.97) ($2.70) Diluted (12.91) (3.64) (9.97) (2.70) (1) Participating securities include certain instruments in our deferred compensation plan.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes We computed our 2024 interim tax provision using an estimated annual effective tax rate of (1.9)%, adjusted for discrete items. Our 2024 estimated annual effective tax rate is primarily driven by taxes on non-U.S. operations. The forecasted 2024 tax provision as estimated at September 30, 2024, remained relatively consistent with that estimated in the second quarter of 2024, despite increased forecasted pre- tax losses. This resulted in a corresponding change in the annualized effective tax rate during the three months ended September 30, 2024. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was 0.8% and reflects additional tax benefits to adjust prior quarters' results to the annual effective tax rate. The effective tax rates were 1.8% and (10.8)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. As of December 31, 2023, we had recorded valuation allowances of $4,550 primarily for certain domestic deferred tax assets, and certain domestic net operating losses, tax credit and interest carryforwards. 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 are 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 are assumed to reverse and generate tax deductions over the next 15 to 20 years. The valuation allowance results from not having sufficient income from deferred tax liability reversals in the appropriate future periods to support the realization of deferred tax assets. In the third quarter of 2024, we determined that earnings from our non-U.S. subsidiaries are no longer considered to be permanently reinvested. This resulted in a discrete income tax provision of $13 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Federal income tax audits have been settled for all years prior to 2021. The Internal Revenue Service is expected to begin the 2021-2023 federal tax audit in the third quarter of 2025. We are also subject to examination in major state and international jurisdictions for the 2010-2023 tax years. We believe appropriate provisions for all outstanding tax issues have been made for all jurisdictions and all open years.

See Note 10. Commercial Aircraft Programs At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, commercial aircraft programs inventory included the following amounts related to the 737 program: deferred production costs of $8,670 and $6,011 and unamortized tooling and other non-recurring costs of $879 and $792. At September 30, 2024, $9,505 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 $44 is expected to be recovered from units included in the program accounting quantity that represent expected future orders. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, commercial aircraft programs inventory included the following amounts related to the 777X program: $3,818 and $4,638 of work in process (including deferred production costs of $552 and $1,792) and $4,255 and $4,063 of unamortized tooling and other non-recurring costs. We expensed abnormal production costs of $442 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the 777X program resumed production, and as a result, there were no abnormal production costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. During the third quarter of 2024, we determined that estimated costs to complete the 777X program plus the costs already included in 777X inventory exceed estimated revenues from the program. The resulting reach-forward loss of $2,608 was recorded as a reduction of deferred production costs. The level of profitability on the 777X program will be subject to a number of factors. These factors include aircraft certification requirements and timing, change incorporation on completed aircraft, production disruption due to labor instability (including the ongoing work stoppage) and supply chain disruption, customer delivery timing and negotiations, further production rate adjustments for the 777X or other commercial aircraft programs, and contraction of the accounting quantity. One or more of these factors could result in additional reach-forward losses in future periods. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, commercial aircraft programs inventory included the following amounts related to the 787 program: deferred production costs of $12,452 and $12,384, supplier advances of $1,394 and $1,764, and unamortized tooling and other non-recurring costs of $1,402 and $1,480. At September 30, 2024, $11,403 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 $2,451 is expected to be recovered from units included in the program accounting quantity that represent expected future orders. We expensed abnormal production costs of $209 and $937 during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Commercial aircraft programs inventory included amounts credited in cash or other consideration (early issue sales consideration) to airline customers totaling $4,716 and $4,126 at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Financing arrangements may include options to extend or terminate. Certain leases include provisions to allow the lessee to purchase the underlying aircraft at a specified price. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $10 and $44 were determined to be uncollectible financing receivables and placed on non-accrual status. The allowance for losses on financing receivables decreased primarily due to cash collections during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The components of investment in sales-type leases consisted of the following: September 30 December 31 Gross lease payments receivable $497 $697 Unearned income (40) (162) Net lease payments receivable 457 535 Unguaranteed residual assets 21 Total $457 $556 Financing interest income recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, was $5 and $122. Financing interest income recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, was $1 and $60. Our financing receivable balances at September 30, 2024 by internal credit rating category and year of origination consisted of the following: Rating categories Current 2023 2022 2021 2020 Prior Total BBB $19 $69 $29 $185 $100 $45 $447 B 87 87 CCC 10 10 Total carrying value of financing receivables $19 $69 $29 $195 $100 $132 $544 At September 30, 2024, our allowance for losses related to receivables with ratings of CCC, B and BBB. We applied default rates that averaged 100.0%, 0.0% and 0.1%, respectively, to the exposure associated with those receivables.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Liabilities, Commitments and Contingencies	Liabilities, Commitments and Contingencies 737 MAX Customer Concessions and Other Considerations During the first quarter of 2024, we recorded an earnings charge of $443, net of insurance recoveries, in connection with estimated considerations to customers for disruption related to the Alaska Airlines 737-9 accident and 737-9 grounding. This charge is reflected in the financial statements as a reduction to Sales of products. The following table summarizes changes in the 737 MAX customer concessions and other considerations liability during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. 2024 2023 Beginning balance – January 1 $1,327 $1,864 Reductions for payments made (767) (304) Reductions for concessions and other in-kind considerations (256) (55) Changes in estimates 510 (54) Ending balance – September 30 $814 $1,451 At September 30, 2024, $92 of the liability balance remains subject to negotiations with customers. The contracted amount includes $171 expected to be paid in cash primarily in 2024, while the remaining amounts are primarily expected to be liquidated by lower customer delivery payments. Environmental The following table summarizes changes in environmental remediation liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. 2024 2023 Beginning balance – January 1 $844 $752 Reductions for payments made, net of recoveries (67) (46) Changes in estimates 98 149 Ending balance – September 30 $875 $855 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 costs 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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the high end of the estimated range of reasonably possible remediation costs exceeded our recorded liabilities by $997 and $1,030. Product Warranties The following table summarizes changes in product warranty liabilities recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. 2024 2023 Beginning balance – January 1 $2,448 $2,275 Additions for current year deliveries 67 121 Reductions for payments made (297) (258) Changes in estimates (27) 285 Ending balance – September 30 $2,191 $2,423 Commercial Aircraft Trade-In Commitments In conjunction with signing definitive agreements for the sale of new 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. The probability that trade-in commitments will be exercised is determined by using both quantitative information from valuation sources and qualitative information from other sources. The probability of exercise is assessed quarterly, or as events trigger a change, and takes into consideration the current economic and airline industry environments. Trade-in commitments, which can be terminated by mutual consent with the customer, may be exercised only during the period specified in the agreement, and require advance notice by the customer. Trade-in commitment agreements at September 30, 2024, have expiration dates from 2024 through 2030. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, total contractual trade-in commitments were $1,325 and $1,415. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we estimated it was probable we would be obligated to perform on certain of these commitments with net amounts payable to customers totaling $431 and $407 and the fair value of the related trade-in aircraft was $428 and $407. Financing Commitments Financing commitments related to aircraft on order, including options and those proposed in sales campaigns, and refinancing of delivered aircraft, totaled $17,379 and $17,003 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The estimated earliest potential funding dates for these commitments as of September 30, 2024 are as follows: Total October through December 2024 $517 2025 3,162 2026 4,214 2027 3,489 2028 2,272 Thereafter 3,725 Total $17,379 As of September 30, 2024, $14,053 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. Other Financial Commitments We have financial commitments to make additional capital contributions totaling $261 to certain joint ventures over the next eight years. Standby Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds We have entered into standby letters of credit and surety bonds with financial institutions primarily relating to the guarantee of our future performance on certain contracts and security agreements. Contingent liabilities on outstanding letters of credit agreements and surety bonds aggregated approximately $2,912 and $4,548 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Supply Chain Financing Programs The Company has supply chain financing programs in place under which participating suppliers may elect to obtain payment from an intermediary. The Company confirms the validity of invoices from participating suppliers and agrees to pay the intermediary an amount based on invoice totals. The majority of amounts payable under these programs are due within 30 to 90 days but may extend up to 12 months. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Accounts payable included $2.7 billion and $2.9 billion payable to suppliers who have elected to participate in these programs. See Note 1. 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. In addition, we are making certain capital expenditures in anticipation of future contract awards that have risk for impairment if we are not selected. Fixed-Price Contracts Long-term contracts that are contracted on a fixed-price basis could result in losses in future periods. Certain of the fixed-price contracts are for the development of new products, services and related technologies. Estimating the cost and time for us and our suppliers to complete these contracts is inherently uncertain due to operational and technical complexities. This uncertainty requires us to make significant judgments and assumptions about future operational and technical performance, and the outcome of customer and/or supplier contractual negotiations. The risk that actual performance, technical or contractual outcomes could be different than those previously assumed creates financial risk that could trigger additional material earnings charges, termination provisions, order cancellations, or other financially significant exposure. VC-25B Presidential Aircraft The Company’s firm fixed-price contract for the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) effort on the U.S. Air Force’s (USAF) VC-25B Presidential Aircraft, commonly known as Air Force One, is a $4 billion program to develop and modify two 747-8 commercial aircraft. During 2023, we increased the reach-forward loss on the contract by $482 driven by engineering changes to support the build and installation process; the resolution of supplier negotiations; and factory performance related to labor instability. During the second quarter of 2024, we increased the reach-forward loss on the contract by $250 primarily driven by higher than anticipated costs due to engineering design changes related to wiring and other structural requirements. Risk remains that we may record additional losses in future periods. KC-46A Tanker In 2011, we were awarded a contract from the USAF to design, develop, manufacture, and deliver four next generation aerial refueling tankers as well as priced options for 13 annual production lots totaling 179 aircraft. Since 2016, the USAF has authorized 10 low rate initial production (LRIP) lots for a total of 139 aircraft. The EMD contract and authorized LRIP lots total approximately $27 billion as of September 30, 2024. The KC-46A Tanker is a derivative of the 767 commercial airplane program with the majority of the manufacturing costs being incurred in the 767 factory and the remaining costs being incurred in the military finishing and delivery centers. During 2023, we increased the reach-forward loss on the KC-46A Tanker program by $309 primarily resulting from factory disruption and additional rework due to a supplier quality issue. During the first quarter of 2024, we increased the reach-forward loss by $128, primarily due to factory disruption associated with supply chain constraints. During the second quarter of 2024, we increased the reach-forward loss on the contract by $391, primarily reflecting higher than anticipated factory disruption, including supply chain constraints and parts shortages. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we increased the reach-forward loss on the contract by $661 to reflect higher than anticipated factory disruption, higher estimated supplier costs, the projected impacts of IAM 751 contract negotiations and the ongoing work stoppage, and increased cost allocations primarily resulting from lower commercial airplane production rates. As of September 30, 2024, we had approximately $137 of capitalized precontract costs and $313 of potential termination liabilities to suppliers related to future production lots. Risk remains that we may record additional losses in future periods. MQ-25 In the third quarter of 2018, we were awarded the MQ-25 EMD contract by the U.S. Navy. The contract is a fixed-price contract that now includes development and delivery of seven aircraft and test articles at a contract price of $890. In connection with winning the competition, we recognized a reach-forward loss of $291 in the third quarter of 2018. During 2023, we increased the reach-forward loss by $231 primarily driven by production and flight testing delays as well as higher than anticipated production costs to complete EMD aircraft attributable to factory performance. During the first quarter of 2024, we were awarded a cost-type contract modification totaling $657 for two additional test aircraft plus other scope increases. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we increased the reach-forward loss by $217 primarily reflecting higher than anticipated production costs to complete EMD aircraft. The initial EMD units are currently progressing through the factory and the increase reflects recent and projected factory performance as well as the higher than anticipated complexity of the production build. We expect the initial units to complete production in 2025 and begin flight testing. We will be initiating final assembly operations at our new facility at Mid-America St. Louis Airport in Mascoutah, Illinois, in early 2025. Risk remains that we may record additional losses in future periods. T-7A Red Hawk EMD Contract & Production Options In 2018, we were awarded the T-7A Red Hawk program. The EMD portion of the contract is a $860 fixed-price contract and includes five aircraft and seven simulators. The production portion of the contract includes 11 production lots for aircraft and related services for 346 T-7A Red Hawk aircraft that we believe are probable of being exercised. Four EMD aircraft have been delivered as of September 30, 2024, and the flight testing is ongoing. We expect the first production and support contract option to be exercised in 2025 with the remaining lots expected to be exercised annually thereafter. During 2023, we increased the reach-forward loss on the T-7A Red Hawk program by $275 primarily reflecting higher estimated production costs. During the first quarter of 2024, we increased the reach-forward loss on the T-7A Red Hawk program by $94 primarily reflecting further increases in estimated production costs. During the second quarter of 2024, we increased the reach-forward loss on the program by $278 primarily driven by higher than anticipated costs to meet certain technical and support requirements, and flight test program inefficiencies and delays. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we increased the reach-forward loss on the program by $908 primarily to reflect higher estimated supplier costs related to future production lots. The higher estimated supplier costs are based on our updated assessment that previously assumed cost estimates are not projected to be realized in the current environment based on ongoing contracting activity and discussions with suppliers. The revised estimates include priced options or not-to-exceed pricing for contractually committed suppliers and escalated current prices for uncontracted work. We also provisioned for a supplier not fulfilling their contractual requirements for certain production lots. The charge also includes a provision related to certain equipment no longer assumed to be customer-furnished. At September 30, 2024, we had approximately $285 of capitalized precontract costs and $594 of potential termination liabilities to suppliers related to certain long-lead items for the first 4 production lots. Risk remains that we may record additional losses in future periods. Commercial Crew National Aeronautics and Space Administration has contracted us to design and build the CST-100 Starliner spacecraft to transport crews to the International Space Station (ISS). In the second quarter of 2022, we successfully completed the uncrewed Orbital Flight Test. During 2023, we increased the reach-forward loss by $288 primarily as a result of delaying the Crewed Flight Test (CFT) following notification by a parachute supplier of an issue identified through testing. The CFT launched on June 5, 2024, and docked with the ISS. The Starliner spacecraft had a minimum mission duration of 8 days. Its return to Earth was delayed to allow time to perform further testing of propulsion system anomalies and returned to Earth uncrewed in September 2024. As a result of the CFT delays, during the second quarter of 2024, we increased the reach-forward loss on the program by $125. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we increased the reach-forward loss on the program by $250 primarily to reflect schedule delays and higher testing and certification costs. At September 30, 2024, we had approximately $240 of capitalized precontract costs and $257 of potential termination liabilities to suppliers related to fixed-price unauthorized future missions. Risk remains that we may record additional losses in future periods.

Guarantees [Abstract]
Arrangements with Off-Balance Sheet Risk	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. The carrying amount of liabilities represents the amount included in Accrued liabilities. Maximum Estimated Proceeds from Carrying Amount of September 30 December 31 September 30 December 31 September 30 December 31 Contingent repurchase commitments $342 $404 $342 $404 Credit guarantees 15 15 $14 $14 Contingent Repurchase Commitments In conjunction with signing a definitive agreement for the sale of commercial aircraft, we have entered into contingent repurchase commitments with certain customers wherein we agree to repurchase the sold aircraft at a specified price, generally 10 to 15 years after delivery. Our repurchase of the aircraft is contingent upon entering into a mutually acceptable agreement for the sale of additional new aircraft in the future. The commercial aircraft 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. If a future sale agreement is reached and a customer elects to exercise its right under a contingent repurchase commitment, the contingent repurchase commitment becomes a trade-in commitment. Our historical experience is that contingent repurchase commitments infrequently become trade-in commitments. 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. Current outstanding credit guarantees expire through 2036. 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. 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.

The notes are unsecured senior obligations and rank equally in right of payment with our existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. On May 15, 2024, we entered into a $4.0 billion five-year revolving credit agreement expiring in May 2029. Effective May 15, 2024, we terminated the $0.8 billion 364-day revolving credit agreement expiring in August 2024, and the $3.2 billion five-year revolving credit agreement, as amended, expiring in October 2024. Our $3.0 billion three-year revolving credit agreement expiring in August 2025 and $3.0 billion five-year revolving credit agreement expiring in August 2028 each remain in effect. As of September 30, 2024, we had $10.0 billion available under credit line agreements. On October 14, 2024, we entered into a $10.0 billion 364-day supplemental credit agreement (Credit Agreement) that allows us to make up to five draws of no less than $2.0 billion per draw. Under the Credit Agreement, we will pay a funding fee of 0.50% of the aggregate principal amount of each advance made under the Credit Agreement. Under the Credit Agreement, we will also pay a duration fee between 0.50% and 1.00% of the aggregate amount of outstanding advances and unused commitments under the Credit Agreement, which shall be payable 90 to 270 days after the closing date, as applicable. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement that are not based on the secured overnight funding rate (“SOFR”) will bear interest at an annual rate equal to the highest of (1) the rate announced publicly by Citibank, from time to time, as its “base” rate, (2) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (3) Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for a period of one month plus 1.00%, in each case plus between 0.375% and 1.00%, depending on Boeing’s credit rating. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement that are based on SOFR will generally bear interest based on Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus between 1.375% and 2.00%, depending on our credit rating. Commitments under the Credit Agreement are scheduled to terminate 120 days after the date of the Credit Agreement and any outstanding advances mature 364 days after the date of the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement contains prepayment events that require the Company to prepay outstanding advances or reduce the commitments if the Company has any debt incurrence, equity issuance or disposition of assets, subject to customary terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement. We continue to be in full compliance with all covenants contained in our debt and credit facility agreements.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Share-Based Compensation and Other Compensation Arrangements	Share-Based Compensation and Other Compensation Arrangements Restricted Stock Units On February 20 and March 11, 2024, we granted 2,008,499 restricted stock units (RSU) to our executives and 125,432 RSUs to our executive officers as part of our long-term incentive program. The RSUs granted under this program have a grant date fair value of $204.15 and $192.94 per unit. The RSUs granted under this program will generally vest and settle in common stock (on a one-for-one basis) on the third anniversary of the grant date. If an executive terminates employment because of retirement, layoff, disability, or death, the executive (or beneficiary) may receive some or all of their stock units depending on certain age and service conditions. In all other cases, the RSUs will not vest and all rights to the stock units will terminate. Performance Restricted Stock Units On March 11, 2024, we granted 153,306 performance restricted stock units (PRSU) to our executive officers as part of our long-term incentive program that will result in that number of PRSUs being paid out if the target performance metric is achieved. The PRSUs granted under this program have a grant date fair value of $192.94 per unit. The award payout can range from 0% to 200% of the initial PRSU grant based on cumulative free cash flow achievement over the period January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2026 as compared to the target set at the start of the performance period, as well as the achievement of certain safety goals. The PRSUs granted under this program will vest at the payout amount determined on the third anniversary of the grant date and settle in common stock (on a one-for-one basis). If an executive terminates employment because of retirement, layoff, disability, or death, the executive (or beneficiary) remains eligible under the award and, if the award is earned, may receive some or all of their stock units depending on certain age and service conditions. In all other cases, the PRSUs will not vest and all rights to the stock units will terminate.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Financial Instruments	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 expected sales and purchases through 2031. We use commodity derivatives, such as fixed-price purchase commitments and swaps to hedge against potentially unfavorable price changes for commodities used in production. Our commodity contracts hedge forecasted transactions through 2028. 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. Notional Amounts and Fair Values The notional amounts and fair values of derivative instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position were as follows: Notional amounts (1) Other assets Accrued liabilities September 30 December 31 September 30 December 31 September 30 December 31 Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: Foreign exchange contracts $3,838 $4,120 $84 $85 ($50) ($63) Commodity contracts 418 514 75 83 (1) (8) Derivatives not receiving hedge accounting treatment: Foreign exchange contracts 720 254 10 1 (25) (32) Commodity contracts 33 115 (2) Total derivatives $5,009 $5,003 $169 $169 ($76) ($105) Netting arrangements (47) (47) 47 47 Net recorded balance $122 $122 ($29) ($58) (1) Notional amounts represent the gross contract/notional amount of the derivatives outstanding.

Based on our portfolio of cash flow hedges, we expect to reclassify losses of $24 (pre-tax) out of AOCI into earnings during the next 12 months. We have derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features. If we default on our five-year credit facilities, our derivative counterparties could require settlement for foreign exchange and certain commodity contracts with original maturities of at least five years. The fair value of those contracts in a net liability position at September 30, 2024 was $3. For other particular commodity contracts, our counterparties could require collateral posted in an amount determined by our credit ratings. At September 30, 2024, there was no collateral posted related to our derivatives.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements	9 Months Ended

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	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. September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 Total Level 1 Level 2 Total Level 1 Level 2 Assets Money market funds $3,232 $3,232 $1,514 $1,514 Available-for-sale debt investments: Commercial paper 205 $205 291 $291 Corporate notes 296 296 183 183 U.S. and local government agencies 17 17 25 25 Other equity investments 36 36 44 44 Derivatives 122 122 122 122 Total assets $3,908 $3,268 $640 $2,179 $1,558 $621 Liabilities Derivatives ($29) ($29) ($58) ($58) Total liabilities ($29) ($29) ($58) ($58) 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. The following table presents the nonrecurring losses recognized for the nine months ended September 30 due to long-lived asset impairment and the fair value of the related assets as of the impairment date: 2024 2023 Fair Value Total Fair Value Total Investments ($30) ($11) Operating lease equipment $15 (5) Property, plant and equipment (10) Other assets (3) (1) Total $15 ($48) ($12) Level 3 Investments and Other assets 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 valuation using a combination of income and market approaches and adjusted for as-is condition. These approaches are considered estimates of net operating income, capitalization rates, and/or comparable property sales. Level 3 operating lease equipment is valued 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 period ended September 30, 2024, the following table presents the fair value of those assets as of the measurement date, valuation techniques and related unobservable inputs of those assets. Fair Valuation Technique Unobservable Input Range Operating lease equipment $15 Market approach Aircraft value publications $21 - $27 (1) Median $23 Aircraft condition adjustments ($8) - $0 (2) Net ($8) (1) The range represents the sum of the highest and lowest values for all aircraft subject to fair value measurement, according to the third-party aircraft valuation publications that we use in our valuation process. (2) The negative amount represents the sum, for all aircraft subject to fair value measurement, of all downward adjustments based on consideration of individual aircraft attributes and condition. Fair Value Disclosures The fair values and related carrying values of financial instruments that are not required to be remeasured at fair value on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position were as follows: September 30, 2024 Carrying Total Fair Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets Notes receivable, net $748 $768 $749 $19 Liabilities Debt, excluding finance lease obligations (57,397) (55,821) (55,821) December 31, 2023 Carrying Total Fair Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets Notes receivable, net $257 $270 $270 Liabilities Debt, excluding finance lease obligations (52,055) (51,039) (51,039) The fair value of notes receivables classified as Level 2 is 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 notes receivables classified as Level 3 is based on our best estimate using available counterparty financial data. 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. 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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. 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).

Legal Proceedings

Legal Proceedings [Abstract]
Legal Proceedings	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 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 U.S. government regulations, a company, or one or more of its operating divisions or subdivisions, can also be suspended or debarred from government contracts, have certain of its production certificates suspended or revoked, or lose its export privileges, based on the results of investigations. We believe, based upon current information, that the outcome of any currently pending legal proceeding, claim, or government dispute, inquiry or investigation will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Except as otherwise described below, we cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss in excess of recorded amounts, if any, for the matters set forth below. Multiple legal actions and inquiries were initiated 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. On January 7, 2021, we entered into a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) with the U.S. Department of Justice (the Department) relating to the Department’s investigation into us regarding the evaluation of the 737 MAX by the Federal Aviation Administration (the Investigation). Among other obligations, the DPA includes a three-year reporting period, which ended earlier this year. On May 14, 2024, the Department notified us of its determination that we did not fulfill our obligations under the DPA and that the Department would not move to dismiss the information. On July 24, 2024, we and the Department filed a plea agreement with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas (the Court) to resolve the Investigation. If approved by the Court, under the terms of the agreement, Boeing would agree to plead guilty to the charge that was the basis for the DPA; would pay an additional fine of $244; would commit to invest at least $455 in compliance, quality and safety programs over a three-year period; and would agree to the appointment of an independent compliance monitor for three years. We are actively engaging with the U.S. Department of Defense regarding potential impacts on our business with the U.S. government and are assessing other related risks. Multiple legal actions were initiated as a result of the January 5, 2024 Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 accident. We are also subject to multiple governmental and regulatory investigations and inquiries relating to the Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 accident and our commercial airplanes business. We cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss, if any, not covered by available insurance that may result given the current status of pending lawsuits, investigations and inquiries related to the 737 program . During 2019, we entered into agreements with Embraer S.A. (Embraer) 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. In 2020, we exercised our contractual right to terminate these agreements based on Embraer’s failure to meet certain required closing conditions. Embraer disputed our right to terminate the agreements, and the dispute was submitted to arbitration. Arbitration proceedings concluded on September 13, 2024. Pursuant to a collar agreement entered into between the parties, we paid Embraer $150 in October 2024, resolving the dispute between the parties.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment and Revenue Information	Segment and Revenue Information Our primary profitability measurement to review segment operating results is Loss from operations. We operate in three reportable segments: BCA, BDS, and BGS. All other activities fall within Unallocated items, eliminations and other. See page 8 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 products and 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. 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.

Backlog Our total backlog includes contracts that we and our customers are committed to perform. The value in backlog represents the estimated transaction prices on performance obligations to our customers for which work remains to be performed. Backlog is converted into revenue, primarily based on the cost incurred or at delivery and acceptance of products, depending on the applicable revenue recognition model. Our backlog at September 30, 2024 was $510,509. We expect approximately 19% to be converted to revenue through 2025 and approximately 64% through 2028, with the remainder thereafter. There is significant uncertainty regarding the timing of when backlog will convert into revenue. We may experience reductions to backlog and/or significant order cancellations due to various factors including delivery delays, production disruptions and delays to entry into service of the 777X, 737-7 and/or 737-10. Unallocated Items, Eliminations and Other Unallocated items, eliminations and other include common internal services that support Boeing’s global business operations and eliminations of certain sales between segments. We generally allocate costs to business segments based on the U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS). Components of Unallocated items, eliminations and other income/(expense) are shown in the following table. Nine months ended September 30 Three months ended September 30 2024 2023 2024 2023 Share-based plans $118 ($33) $65 $5 Deferred compensation (100) (71) (51) 25 Amortization of previously capitalized interest (70) (71) (24) (24) Research and development expense, net (293) (222) (105) (73) Eliminations and other unallocated items (1,019) (670) (303) (204) Unallocated items, eliminations and other ($1,364) ($1,067) ($418) ($271) Eliminations and other unallocated items for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 includes an earnings charge of $244 that reflects a fine that would be paid if an agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice is approved by the federal district court. For additional discussion, see Note 18 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Expense Pension costs are allocated to BDS and BGS businesses supporting government customers using CAS, which employ different actuarial assumptions and accounting conventions than GAAP. These costs are allocable to government contracts. Other postretirement benefit costs are allocated to business segments based on CAS, which is generally based on benefits paid. FAS/CAS service cost adjustment represents the difference between the Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) pension and postretirement service costs calculated under GAAP and costs allocated to the business segments. Non-operating pension and postretirement expenses represent the components of net periodic benefit costs other than service cost. These expenses are included in Other income, net. Components of FAS/CAS service cost adjustment are shown in the following table: Nine months ended September 30 Three months ended September 30 2024 2023 2024 2023 Pension FAS/CAS service cost adjustment $608 $663 $148 $218 Postretirement FAS/CAS service cost adjustment 224 200 80 63 FAS/CAS service cost adjustment $832 $863 $228 $281 Assets Segment assets are summarized in the table below: September 30 December 31 Commercial Airplanes $81,050 $77,047 Defense, Space & Security 15,739 14,921 Global Services 16,724 16,193 Unallocated items, eliminations and other 24,182 28,851 Total $137,695 $137,012 Assets included in Unallocated items, eliminations and other primarily consist of Cash and cash equivalents, Short-term and other investments, tax assets, capitalized interest and assets managed centrally on behalf of the three principal business segments and intercompany eliminations.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Use of Estimates	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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Long-term Contracts	Long-term Contracts Substantially all contracts at our BDS segment and certain contracts at our Global Services (BGS) segment are long-term contracts with the U.S. government and other customers that generally extend over several years. 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 revenues and costs at completion for a long-term contract indicate a loss, a provision for the entire reach-forward loss on the long-term contract is recognized.
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 attributable to Boeing Shareholders, 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 attributable to Boeing Shareholders, less earnings available to participating securities, divided by the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding. Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding is calculated using the treasury stock method.
Backlog	Our total backlog includes contracts that we and our customers are committed to perform. The value in backlog represents the estimated transaction prices on performance obligations to our customers for which work remains to be performed. Backlog is converted into revenue, primarily based on the cost incurred or at delivery and acceptance of products, depending on the applicable revenue recognition model.
