Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

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, 2022 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 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Liquidity Matters

During the first nine months of 2022, net cash provided by operating activities was $0.1 billion. Our operating cash flows continue to be impacted by lower commercial airplane deliveries. We expect a negative impact on our operating cash flows until commercial deliveries ramp up. Charges recorded on BDS fixed-price development contracts are expected to negatively impact cash flows in future periods. Our cash and short-term investment balance was $14.3 billion at September 30, 2022, down from $16.2 billion at December 31, 2021. Our debt balance of $57.2 billion at September 30, 2022 is down from $58.1 billion at December 31, 2021. Short-term debt and the current portion of long-term debt increased to $5.4 billion at September 30, 2022 from $1.3 billion at December 31, 2021. The current portion of long-term debt includes term notes of $0.3 billion maturing in the fourth quarter of 2022, $1.7 billion maturing in the first quarter of 2023, and $3.4 billion maturing in the second quarter of 2023.

As of September 30, 2022, our unused borrowing capacity is $12.0 billion, down from $14.7 billion at June 30, 2022. In August 2022, we renewed the 364-day facility for $5.8 billion, which now expires in August 2023. This 364-day facility has a one-year term out option that allows us to extend the maturity of any borrowings one additional year. We anticipate that these credit lines will remain undrawn and primarily serve as back-up liquidity to support our general corporate borrowing needs. See Note 11.

Our short-term and long-term credit ratings remained unchanged during the first nine months of 2022. There is risk for future downgrades.

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, trade payables included $2.2 billion and $2.3 billion payable to suppliers who have elected to participate in supply chain financing programs. We do not believe that future changes in the availability of supply chain financing will have a significant impact on our liquidity.

Based on our current best estimates of market demand, planned production rates, timing of cash receipts and expenditures, our ability to successfully implement further actions to improve liquidity, as well as our ability to access additional liquidity, if needed, we believe it is probable that we will be able to fund our operations for the foreseeable future.

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

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 sales and costs for a long-term contract, and/or contractual options that are probable of exercise, indicate a loss, a provision for the entire loss is recognized.

Net cumulative catch-up adjustments to prior periods' revenue and earnings, including certain losses, across all long-term contracts were as follows:


(In millions - except per share amounts)	Nine months ended September 30		Three months ended September 30
	2022	2021	2022	2021
(Decrease)/increase to Revenue	($2,204)	$167	($1,319)	($63)
Increase to (Loss)/(decrease) to earnings from operations	($3,965)	($84)	($2,424)	($142)
Decrease to Diluted EPS	($6.70)	($0.05)	($4.29)	($0.10)
