Boeing Reports Larger Q2 Loss Amid Air Force One Costs but Posts Positive Cash Flow
Boeing reported a larger-than-expected second-quarter loss of $428 million, mainly due to a $280 million charge from increased engineering costs for its delayed Air Force One replacement program. Despite the loss and a core loss per share of 76 cents, the company generated $631 million in positive free cash flow, reversing a previous outflow. Boeing maintained its full-year free cash flow guidance of $1 billion to $3 billion, supported by increased production of 737 MAX jets and higher customer payments. Capital investments also rose, focusing on 787 and military jet production expansions.
