Cash Flow Summary

Operating Activities Net cash used by operating activities was $1.6 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with $3.4 billion during the same period in 2024. The $1.8 billion decrease in net cash used by operating activities was primarily driven by higher commercial airplane deliveries, lower customer considerations and working capital improvements.

Changes in assets and liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2025, improved by $1.5 billion compared with the same period in 2024, primarily driven by favorable changes in Inventories ($2.3 billion), Unbilled receivables ($0.7 billion) and Accrued liabilities ($0.3 billion), partially offset by changes in Advances and progress billings ($1.9 billion). The change in Inventories was primarily driven by higher deliveries on our commercial airplane programs during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024. The change in Unbilled receivables during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily driven by a decrease in revenue recognized in excess of billings at BDS compared to the same period in 2024. Changes in Accrued liabilities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $0.4 billion compared to $0.7 billion during the same period in 2024. Concessions paid to 737 MAX customers totaled $38 million and $553 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Changes in Advances and progress billings during three months ended March 31, 2025 was $0.8 billion compared to $2.7 billion during the same period in 2024 primarily driven by increased commercial airplane deliveries and lower advances on commercial airplane orders.

Payables to suppliers who elected to participate in supply chain financing programs decreased by $0.6 billion and $0.4 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Supply chain financing is not material to our overall liquidity.

Investing Activities Net cash used by investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025, was $1.7 billion, compared with net cash provided by investing activities of $2.1 billion during the same period in 2024. The increase in cash used was primarily due to net contributions to investments of $1.0 billion in 2025 compared with net proceeds from investments of $2.7 billion in 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, capital expenditures were $0.7 billion and $0.6 billion. We continue to expect capital expenditures in 2025 to be higher than in 2024.

Financing Activities Net cash used by financing activities was $0.3 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with $4.5 billion during the same period in 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, net repayments were $0.3 billion compared with $4.4 billion during the same period in 2024.

As of March 31, 2025, the total debt balance was $53.6 billion, down from $53.9 billion at December 31, 2024. At March 31, 2025, $7.9 billion of debt was classified as short-term.

Capital Resources

On June 30, 2024, we entered into an agreement to acquire Spirit in an all-stock transaction at an equity value of approximately $4.7 billion, or $37.25 per share of Spirit Class A Common Stock. The transaction will include the assumption of Spirit's net debt at closing. See Note 2 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

At March 31, 2025, we had $10.1 billion of cash, $13.5 billion of short-term investments, and $10.0 billion of unused borrowing capacity on revolving credit line agreements. Our $3.0 billion three-year revolving credit agreement expiring in August 2025, $3.0 billion five-year revolving credit agreement expiring in August 2028, and $4.0 billion five-year revolving credit agreement expiring in May 2029 remain in effect. We anticipate that these credit lines will primarily serve as back-up liquidity to support our general corporate borrowing needs. At March 31, 2025 we were in full compliance with all covenants contained in our debt and credit facility agreements.

We currently maintain investment grade credit ratings across all three credit rating agencies. At Moody's we are rated Baa3 with a negative outlook. At Fitch, we are rated BBB- with a negative outlook. At S&P, we are rated BBB- with a credit watch negative.

We expect to be able to access capital markets when we require additional funding to support our operations, pay off existing debt, address impacts to our business related to market developments, fund outstanding financing commitments or meet other business requirements; however, a number of factors could increase the cost of borrowing, jeopardize our ability to incur debt on terms acceptable to us, and negatively impact our access to the capital and financial markets and our ability to fund our operations and commitments. These factors include further downgrades in our credit ratings, disruptions or declines in the global capital markets, a decline in our financial performance or outlook, a delay in our ability to ramp up production and deliveries, and changes in demand for our products and services. The occurrence of any or all of these events may adversely affect our ability to fund our operations and financing or contractual commitments. See “Risks Related to Financing and Liquidity” under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Any future borrowings may affect our credit ratings and are subject to various debt covenants. The most restrictive covenants include a limitation on mortgage debt and sale and leaseback transactions as a percentage of consolidated net tangible assets (as defined in the credit agreements), and a limitation on consolidated debt as a percentage of total capital (as defined in the credit agreements). When considering debt covenants, we continue to have substantial borrowing capacity.
