Boeing Faces Cash Flow Struggles and Production Delays Amid Ongoing Challenges

Manufacturing Issues and Delivery Delays Plague Aircraft Giant

Boeing’s (BA) Chief Financial Officer, Brian West, forecasted that the company will experience negative free cash flow in 2024 due to persistent manufacturing troubles. The production of Boeing’s 737 Max 9 has slowed significantly since a door plug incident in January, and aircraft deliveries are unlikely to improve in the second quarter.

Speaking at a Wolfe Research industry conference, West noted that Boeing burned through nearly $4 billion in cash in the first quarter, and similar or slightly worse figures are expected for the second quarter. Despite this, West expressed optimism that Boeing would return to generating cash in the second half of 2024. A month prior, West had projected that Boeing would generate free cash flow in the low single-digit billions, but the recent forecast reflects the mounting costs and challenges the company faces.

The production issues have led to Boeing’s lowest level of aircraft deliveries since the pandemic. The company’s shares dropped more than 7% following West’s comments, dragging down the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

“We have frustrated and disappointed our customers because of some of the production supply chain issues that we’re up against,” West stated. He emphasized the importance of stabilizing production, improving quality, and becoming more predictable to regain customer trust.

Boeing’s CEO, Dave Calhoun, announced in March that he would step down by the end of the year, leading to a shake-up in the company’s leadership. This followed complaints from major airline customers about delivery delays and planning difficulties.

The latest production issues began when a door plug blew out midair from a nearly new 737 Max 9. This incident heightened federal scrutiny as Boeing attempts to recover from reputational damage caused by two fatal Max crashes in 2018 and 2019. Boeing is set to meet with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) next Thursday to present a plan to improve quality control.

Additional challenges include a pause on 737 Max deliveries to China to review cockpit voice recorder batteries and a new FAA probe into 787 Dreamliner inspections after allegations of employee misconduct. Parts shortages have also delayed Dreamliner deliveries, affecting airlines like American Airlines, United Airlines, and Southwest Airlines, which have had to adjust their growth and hiring plans due to the delays.
