Boeing After delivering the most planes since 2018, sales jumped, resulting in a significant reduction in quarterly losses.
Here’s how Boeing worked in the second quarter compared to estimates compiled by LSEG:
Loss per share: Adjusted vs. $1.24 losses revenue: $22.75 billion vs. $21.84 billion forecast
The aerospace giant lost $176 million in the three months ended June 30th, down from $1.09 billion the previous year. Revenues rose 35% to $22.75 billion, up 35% from $16.87 billion last year. Boeing has adjusted its one-off items to report losses of $433 million or $1.24 per share.
“Although change takes time, we are beginning to see differences in overall business performance,” CEO Kelly Autoberg said in a note to staff outlining Boeing’s overall business improvements.
“Continuing to work on important work ahead of us and focusing on safety, quality and stability will allow us to navigate a dynamic global environment and make 2025 a turnaround year,” he said.
Boeing is being made better by many metrics from Autoberg, a former aerospace executive and engineer who took up the top job last August. The plane’s delivery has improved, its production is more stable, and even the once-critical airline CEOs have praised Boeing’s leadership.
Boeing burned $200 million in the second quarter, down from $4.3 billion in the same period in 2024. The company had expected it to be a significant year for plane makers, from the door plugs to blow off one of the up to 737 nine planes packed in minutes after the flight.
In the second quarter of this year, Boeing’s commercial plane unit sales rose 81% from a year ago to $10.87 billion, with its negative operating profit margin rising to 5.1%.
Boeing increased production of its 737’s largest aircraft to 38 a month. This is a Federal Aviation Administration restrictions after the January 2024 door plugs were close to the author. Earlier this year, Autoberg said the company would exceed that limit by seeking approval from the FAA at some point this year.
For the three months ended June 30th, Boeing handed over 150 planes. It was also last year when Boeing made annual profits that many planes in the second quarter delivered many planes in 2018.
The company still has its challenges ahead of time. Boeing said on Tuesday that long-standing delay certifications for the Boeing 737 Max 7 and the Max family’s smallest and largest member, the Max 10, are likely to not come this year, as Ortberg’s forecast in May.
Boeing’s defense forces have also been plagued by charges in past quarters, and as of Sunday, could face a factory worker strike after employees resigned from their new labor contracts.
Investors will turn to executive teams at 10:30am Tuesday for further improvements, results and stability at companies that have been at stake since 2018, when the two deadly 737 biggest crashes hit in 2018.
