    The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] reported fourth-quarter revenue of $23.3 billion
    with GAAP earnings per share of $2.59 and core earnings per share (non-GAAP)*
    of $2.47 reflecting overall solid execution on production programs and services
    (Table 1).

    Revenue was $94.6 billion for the full year reflecting strong commercial
    deliveries and services growth across the company. GAAP earnings per share
    totaled $7.61 and core earnings per share (non-GAAP)* totaled $7.24.

    Guidance for 2017 is set at between $10.25 and $10.45 for GAAP earnings per
    share and between $9.10 and $9.30 for core earnings per share (non-GAAP)*.
    Revenue guidance is between $90.5 and $92.5 billion, including increased
    commercial deliveries of between 760 and 765. Operating cash flow is expected
    to increase by approximately $250 million to $10.75 billion and capital
    expenditures are expected to decline by approximately $300 million to $2.3
    billion.

    "With solid fourth quarter operating performance and a sharp strategic focus,
    we extended our aerospace market leadership in our centennial year and
    positioned Boeing for continued growth and success in our second century," said
    Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Dennis Muilenburg.

    "We led the industry in commercial airplane deliveries for the fifth
    consecutive year, achieved healthy sales in our defense, space and services
    segments, and produced record operating cash flow, which fueled investment in
    innovation and our people and generated significant returns to shareholders."

    "Looking forward, our team is intent on accelerating productivity and program
    execution to deliver increasing cash and profitability from our large and
    diverse order backlog of nearly $500 billion, standing up our new integrated
    services business, and capturing an even greater share of the the growing
    global aerospace market to deliver superior value to our customers,
    shareholders and employees."

    Operating cash flow in the quarter of $2.8 billion was driven by solid
    operating performance, disciplined cash management, and a slight impact from
    timing of receipts and expenditures (Table 2). During the quarter, the company
    repurchased 3.7 million shares for $500 million and paid $672 million in
    dividends. For the full year, the company repurchased 55.1 million shares for
    $7.0 billion and paid $2.8 billion in dividends. Based on strong cash
    generation and confidence in the company's outlook, the board of directors in
    December increased the quarterly dividend per share by 30 percent and renewed
    the share repurchase program to $14 billion. Share repurchases under the new
    authorization are expected to be made over the next 24 to 30 months.

    Commercial Airplanes fourth-quarter revenue increased to $16.2 billion on
    higher planned delivery volume and mix (Table 4). Fourth-quarter operating
    margin was 9.1 percent, reflecting delivery mix, lower R&D and improved
    performance, partially offset by a $243 million pre-tax charge on the KC-46
    Tanker program primarily related to additional effort to incorporate previously
    identified changes into initial production aircraft.

    During the quarter, Boeing delivered the 500th 787 Dreamliner and began final
    assembly of the first 787-10 aircraft. The 737 program has captured more than
    3,600 orders for the 737 MAX, including recent 737 MAX 8 orders from GE Capital
    Aviation Services for 75 airplanes and SpiceJet for 100 airplanes.

    Commercial Airplanes booked 288 net orders during the quarter. Backlog remains
    strong with more than 5,700 airplanes valued at $416 billion.

    1 During the first quarter of 2016, certain programs were realigned between    
    Boeing Military Aircraft and Global Services & Support.                        

    Defense, Space & Security's fourth-quarter revenue was $6.9 billion (Table 5).
    Fourth-quarter operating margin was 11.8 percent, reflecting a $69 million
    pre-tax charge on the KC-46 Tanker program at BMA, partially offset by solid
    execution.

    Boeing Military Aircraft (BMA) fourth-quarter revenue was $2.6 billion,
    reflecting lower planned deliveries and mix, with operating margin of 11.0
    percent. During the quarter, pending international sales of F-15 and F/A-18
    fighter jets and Chinook and Apache helicopters were approved by the U.S. State
    Department, reaching the final stage of the U.S. foreign military sales process
    before contract negotiations.

    Network & Space Systems (N&SS) fourth-quarter revenue was $1.8 billion, largely
    reflecting lower satellite volume, with an operating margin of 8.7 percent.
    During the quarter, the eighth Wideband Global SATCOM satellite was launched
    with an upgraded digital payload.

    Global Services & Support (GS&S) fourth-quarter revenue was $2.4 billion,
    reflecting lower volume in Aircraft Modernization & Sustainment. Operating
    margin was 14.9 percent largely reflecting contract mix. During the quarter, GS
    &S completed digital flight deck upgrades to the first of 14 NATO Airborne
    Warnings and Control Systems (AWACS) aircraft.

    Backlog at Defense, Space & Security was $57 billion, of which 37 percent
    represents orders from international customers.

    At quarter-end, Boeing Capital's net portfolio balance was $4.1 billion. Total
    pension expense for the fourth quarter was $434 million, down from $529 million
    in the same period of the prior year. Unallocated items, eliminations and other
    revenue increased from the same period in the prior year primarily due to
    timing of eliminations for intercompany aircraft deliveries. The effective tax
    rate for the fourth quarter increased from the same period in the prior year
    primarily due to the reinstatement of the full year research tax credit
    recorded in the fourth quarter of 2015.

    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. Pension costs, comprising service and
    prior service costs computed in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting
    Principles in the United States of America (GAAP) are allocated to Commercial
    Airplanes. Pension costs allocated to BDS segments are computed in accordance
    with U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS), which employ different
    actuarial assumptions and accounting conventions than GAAP. CAS costs are
    allocable to government contracts. Other postretirement benefit costs are
    allocated to all business segments based on CAS, which is generally based on
    benefits paid. 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.

    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.

    Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

    This press release contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
    the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as "may,"
    "should," "expects," "intends," "projects," "plans," "believes," "estimates,"
    "targets," "anticipates," and similar expressions generally 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 expectations and
    assumptions that we believe to be reasonable when made, but that 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,
