Boeing Publishes Third-quarter Financial Results

DALLAS - Boeing's third-quarter 2022 financial results show a loss of US$3.3bn on total revenues of US$16.0bn.

While the company enjoyed a higher commercial volume, it continued to lose money on its fixed-price defense programs. The loss per share stood at US$5.49.

In brief, revenue from commercial aircraft deliveries rose to US$6.3bn compared to US$4.4bn for the same period in 2021, largely due to the resumption of Boeing 787 deliveries and higher 737 deliveries.
