Operational Highlights Solid performance in dynamic markets from Boeing’s balanced portfolio of aerospace businesses I Achieved net earnings before cumulative effect of accounting change of $2.3 billion, or $2.87 per share, on revenues of $54.1 billion and operating margins of 7.2 percent, reflecting prolonged downturns in commercial aviation and space markets offset by growing defense and noncommercial space markets. I Generated strong free cash flow totaling $3.4 billion. I Achieved solid Commercial Airplanes operating margins on planned lower deliveries of 381 jetliners while supporting customer efforts to restore the long-term health of the airline industry; rolled out new 747-400ER and 777-300ER (Extended Range) airplanes and focused development on a super-efficient midsized airplane, the Boeing 7E7. I Combined our military aircraft and missile systems and space and communications businesses into Boeing Integrated Defense Systems, the United States’ second largest defense contractor; leveraged strong Boeing platform, technology and systems integration capabilities to further align with customer requirements and strategies. I Emerged as a leading industry partner in the U.S. military’s transformation; captured the lead integra- tor role for the Army’s transformational Future Combat Systems and won key contracts for the Air Force’s Family of Advanced Beyond-Line-of-Sight Terminals and the Army’s Joint Tactical Radio System. I Successfully completed the first launch of the new Delta IV booster; continued on-track develop- ment of the Ground-based Midcourse Defense program (formerly National Missile Defense). I Won key contracts to deliver 60 C-17 transports to the U.S. Air Force and 40 F-15K aircraft to the Republic of Korea; began flight tests of the X-45A Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle. I Initiated Connexion by BoeingSM revenue service on U.S. Government aircraft and installed the broadband system on commercial airplanes for in-flight demonstrations, which started in 2003. Continued to build domestic and international support for a new global air traffic management system; selected by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration to evaluate the feasibility of integrating emerging security- and capacity-enhancing technologies into the current National Airspace System. 2002 Financial Highlights (Dollars in millions except per share data) 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 Revenues 54,069 58,198 51,321 57,993 56,154 Net earnings* 2,319 2,826 2,128 2,309 1,120 Earnings per share* 2.87 3.41 2.44 2.49 1.15 Operating margins 7.2% 6.7% 6.0% 5.5% 2.8% Free cash flow† 3,374 2,705 5,161 4,809 300 Contractual backlog 104,173 106,591 120,600 99,248 112,896 *Before cumulative effect of accounting change. † Free cash flow is a non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measure that equals net cash provided by operating activities less net additions of property, plant and equipment.
