Advance Payments And Deferred Revenue/Credits

Advance Payments

Advances on the B787 Program.  Boeing has made advance payments to Spirit under the B787 Special Business Provisions and General Terms Agreement (collectively, the "B787 Supply Agreement"), that are required to be repaid to Boeing by way of offset against the purchase price for future shipset deliveries. Advance repayments were originally scheduled to be spread evenly over the remainder of the first 1,000 B787 shipsets delivered to Boeing. On April 8, 2014, the Company signed a memorandum of agreement with Boeing that suspended advance repayments related to the B787 program for a period of twelve months beginning April 1, 2014. Repayment recommenced on April 1, 2015, and any repayments that otherwise would have become due during such twelve-month period were to offset the purchase price for shipsets 1001 through 1120. On December 21, 2018, the Company signed the 2018 MOA with Boeing that again suspended the advance repayments beginning with line unit 818. The advance repayments will resume at a lower rate of $0.45 per shipset at line number 1135 and continue through line number 1605.

In the event Boeing does not take delivery of a sufficient number of shipsets to repay the full amount of advances prior to the termination of the B787 program or the B787 Supply Agreement, any advances not then repaid will be applied against any outstanding payments then due by Boeing to us, and any remaining balance will be repaid in annual installments of $42.0 due on December 15th of each year until the advance payments have been fully recovered by Boeing. As of December 31, 2019, the amount of advance payments received by us from Boeing and not yet repaid was approximately $231.9.

Advances on the B737 Program.  On April 12, 2019, Boeing and the Company executed a Memorandum of Agreement (the "MOA") relating to Spirit's production of aircraft with respect to the B737 program. In an effort to minimize the disruption to Spirit's operations and its supply chain, the Company received an advance payment from Boeing in the amount of $123.0, during the third quarter of 2019. On February 6, 2020, Boeing and Spirit entered into a Memorandum of Agreement (the “2020 MOA”) that included terms and conditions for the advance repayment that will occur over 2022 shipset deliveries.
