Boeing the US aircraft manufacturer ended the 2025 financial year with a net profit of $2.238 billion, a marked improvement on the loss of $11.829 billion at the end of 2024. Revenues were up 34% to $89.5 billion, growth in the last quarter alone was 54% over Q4 2024 to $23.9 billion the highest level since 2018. Supporting the result was the acceleration in aircraft deliveries to 600 by the end of 2025 .
Net income for the last quarter was $8.22 billion, after posting a loss in the same period last year. On a per-share basis, the company reported earnings of $10.23, which becomes a loss when adjusted for non-recurring earnings, at $1.91 per share, a loss that exceeded analysts' expectations. Last year's loss per share was $5.46.
The company's total order backlog grew to a record $682 billion, mainly reflecting 1,173 net orders for commercial aircraft in the year, with all three segments at record levels, says a note.
"We have made significant progress in 2025 and have laid the foundation to maintain our momentum in the year ahead," said Kelly Ortberg, Boeing's ceo, recalling the completion of the acquisition of Spirit AeroSystems and the sale of parts of the Digital Aviation Solutions business. "We remain focused on fully restoring Boeing as the iconic company we all know it can be."
The positive close is an indicator that the group is regaining control of Boeing 737 MAX and 787 production, resolving the quality problems that had caused significant delivery delays in recent years, including the Alaska Airlines accident.
