 programs.

In July 2024, we obtained approval from the FAA to begin the first phase of FAA certification flight testing. The first phase of flight testing was paused starting in August 2024 and resumed in January 2025. During the first six months of 2025, we obtained approval from the FAA to begin additional phases of certification flight testing.

We continue to anticipate first delivery of the 777-9 to occur in 2026 and the 777-8 Freighter to occur in 2028. First delivery of the 777-8 passenger aircraft is not expected to occur before 2030. We are following the lead of the FAA as we work through the certification process and the ultimate timing will be determined by the regulators.

The 777X program had break-even gross margins at June 30, 2025. The level of profitability on the 777X program will be subject to several factors. These factors include aircraft certification requirements and timing, change incorporation on completed aircraft, production disruption due to labor instability and supply chain disruption, customer considerations, delivery timing and negotiations, further production rate adjustments for the 777X or other commercial aircraft programs, and any change in the accounting quantity. One or more of these factors could result in reach-forward losses in future periods.

787 Program During the second quarter of 2025, the program began increasing the production rate to seven per month. We are continuing to monitor supply chain health and factory performance as we work to increase production rates. As of June 30, 2025, we had approximately 15 aircraft in inventory, including three aircraft for customers in China, that were produced prior to 2023 and required rework. In February 2025, we completed the rework of the last aircraft and expect to deliver the majority of these aircraft in 2025. It is currently unclear whether the trade tensions between the U.S. and China will impact future deliveries to China.

Additional Considerations

On June 30, 2024, we entered into an agreement to acquire Spirit. See Note 2 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
