On April 25, 2007, Boeing publicly announced by means of a press release its first quarter 2007 financial results, some of which relate to BCC. The information relevant to BCC is as follows:
Boeing Capital Corporation
BCC increased pre-tax earnings to $73 million on continued improvement in aircraft valuations, while revenues declined consistent with the portfolio (Table 6).

Revenues | | $ | 213 | | $ | 237 | | (10)% |
Pre-Tax Income | | $ | 73 | | $ | 70 | | 4% |
BCC’s portfolio balance at the end of the first quarter was $7.9 billion, down from $8.0 billion at the end of the fourth quarter of 2006 and $9.0 billion a year ago on normal portfolio run-off, asset sales and depreciation. BCC contributed $173 million in cash to Boeing (dividends and return of capital) during the quarter. BCC’s quarter-end debt balance (excluding intercompany borrowings) decreased to $4.8 billion from the year-end balance of $5.6 billion due to the repayment of 14 percent of its outstanding debt during the quarter as $0.8 billion of long-term debt matured. As a result, BCC’s debt-to-equity ratio remained steady at 5.0-to-1.
BCC’s outlook is set forth in the table below (Table 7):
