Item 8.01. Other Events
This Current Report on Form 8-K is for the purpose of disclosing information relating to Boeing Capital Corporation (“BCC” or “Boeing Capital”) that was contained in the press release and Webcast of first quarter 2005 financial results of The Boeing Company (“Boeing”), dated April 27, 2005. The information relevant to Boeing Capital is as follows:
Boeing Capital Corporation
Boeing Capital Corporation continued to create value by supporting the operations of Boeing’s business units and reducing portfolio risk. Revenues for the first quarter were $237 million and pre-tax income was $44 million, both down from the first quarter of 2004 due to portfolio reductions and the absence of gains on asset sales recognized in 2004. BCC results are summarized in Table 7.

| 1 | 2004 excludes discontinued operations from the sale of BCC's commercial finance unit. |
The quarter-end portfolio balance was $9.4 billion, down from $9.7 billion at the end of 2004. The portfolio reduction reflects normal portfolio run-off and depreciation, which was higher than new business volume for the quarter, and a restructure of certain leases which resulted in the application of reserves to reduce asset values. These factors, combined with solid performance, enabled BCC to contribute $55 million in cash dividends to Boeing during the quarter. Leverage, as measured by the ratio of debt-to-equity, was 5.0-to-1, unchanged from the end of 2004. Boeing Capital debt dropped to $6.8 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2005, compared with $6.9 billion at the end of the fourth quarter 2004, as operating cash flow from the unit exceeded new financing requirements.
Boeing’s outlook for Boeing Capital is set forth in the table below:
