Challenges Ahead

- The 787 production rate will temporarily be lower than five per month and will gradually return to that rate.
- Boeing expects to deliver fewer than half of the 787s currently in inventory this year.
- Commercial market environment is improving, but Boeing is closely monitoring COVID-19 case rates, vaccine distribution and global trade.
- Cash and investments in marketable securities decreased to $21.3 billion, compared to $21.9 billion at the beginning of the quarter, primarily driven by operating cash outflows.
