Quarter Highlights
- Net sales increased driven by growth in defense businesses.
- Operating margin declined due to higher levels of charges related to simplification initiatives.
- Adjusted operating margin improved within Military Aircraft, Industrial and Space and Defense, while Commercial Aircraft declined from a strong quarter a year ago.
- Diluted net earnings per share increased due to improved operational performance, partially offset by the net of prior and current year one-time charges and benefits.
- Adjusted diluted net earnings per share increased due to incremental profit from higher sales and the benefit of capitalizing interest, partially offset by the absence of last year's favorable litigation settlement.
-
Twelve-month backlog increased 3%, reaching a record level of
$2.5 billion .

Quarter Results
"We had a great quarter," said
Sales in the fourth quarter of 2024 increased compared to the fourth quarter of 2023, with notable growth in Military Aircraft and Space and Defense. Military Aircraft sales increased 17% to
Operating margin decreased 100 basis points to 9.1% in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. Commercial Aircraft operating margin declined 680 basis points to 11.0%, driven by the absence of last year's benefits. Operating margins in Space and Defense and in Industrial declined 200 basis points and 130 basis points, respectively, due to incremental charges related to simplification initiatives. Military Aircraft operating margin improved 590 basis points to 11.8%, driven by reduced research and development expense, improved sales mix and cost absorption on the FLRAA program.
Adjusted operating margin in the fourth quarter of 2024 was unchanged at 12.5% compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. We incurred charges primarily in Industrial and in Space and Defense. Adjusted operating margin in Industrial increased 90 basis points to 12.8% as the benefits of pricing more than offset an unfavorable sales mix and planned product transfers. Adjusted operating margin in Space and Defense increased 70 basis points to 13.5% associated with improved performance across the business.
Non-operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2024 declined compared to the fourth quarter of 2023. The fourth quarter of 2024 included a
Free cash flow in the fourth quarter was driven by strong customer collections and by timing of vendor payments.
Year Results
Sales in 2024 increased compared to 2023 with notable growth in Commercial Aircraft, Military Aircraft and Space and Defense. Commercial Aircraft sales increased 18% to
Operating margin in 2024 increased compared to 2023, reflecting the benefits of pricing and simplification efforts, partially offset by higher amounts of charges related to simplifying our operations. Operating margin increased in Space and Defense and Military Aircraft, while Commercial Aircraft operating margin decreased, all due to the same factors as the fourth quarter. Also, Industrial operating margin decreased due to higher amounts of simplification charges.
Adjusted operating margin increased in 2024 compared to 2023, inclusive of a 40 basis-point contribution from the Employee Retention Credit, and increased in all of our segments except for Commercial Aircraft. Adjusted operating margin in Military Aircraft increased 300 basis points to 12.0% due to cost absorption on the FLRAA program and due to lower research and development expense. Adjusted operating margin in Space and Defense increased 290 basis points to 13.4% due to strong operational performance, including improved performance on space vehicle programs. Adjusted operating margin in Industrial increased 90 basis points to 12.4% due largely to pricing initiatives. Adjusted operating margin in Commercial Aircraft decreased 90 basis points to 11.8% due to the absence of the prior year's one-time benefits, partially offset by efficiencies from the current year's higher production sales volume.

The diluted net earnings per share associated with the adjustments in the table above may not reconcile when totaled due to rounding. |
Results shown above have been adjusted to exclude impacts associated with restructuring and other charges related to continued portfolio shaping activities, asset impairments and other charges due to program termination and the devaluation of an investment, fair value adjustments from businesses being held for sale at year end, a one-time pension settlement charge, as well as impacts from the sale of buildings and a business. While management believes that these adjusted financial measures may be useful in evaluating the financial condition and results of operations of the Company, this information should be considered supplemental and is not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided (used) by operating activities, less purchase of property, plant and equipment, less the benefit from the Receivables Purchase Agreement. Free cash flow conversion is defined as free cash flow divided by adjusted net earnings. Free cash flow and free cash flow conversion are not measures determined in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable with the measures as used by other companies. However, management believes these adjusted financial measures may be useful in evaluating the liquidity, financial condition and results of operations of the Company. This information should be considered supplemental and is not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.
