SEATTLE (dpa-AFX) – Boeing has to make the next billion-dollar write-offs. On Thursday after the US stock market closed, the ailing aircraft manufacturer referred, among other things, to the weeks-long strike by its workers in the fall, higher costs due to the new collective agreement and the problems with a new tanker aircraft and the next Air Force One. In the passenger aircraft sector there is an input tax burden of 1.1 billion dollars (1.06 billion euros), in the defense sector there is an additional 1.7 billion dollars. The group had already announced around five billion dollars in depreciation in October.
Boeing surprisingly presented some key data for the last quarter, so there is no full picture yet. But it’s becoming apparent that the numbers won’t be pretty. Boeing put the loss per share at $5.46. Analysts would have expected a four dollar better value on this basis, according to the TV channel CNBC. Boeing will present the full quarterly figures on Tuesday.
According to Boeing, a burden of $900 million in the passenger aircraft business is due to higher labor costs following the collective bargaining agreement in the development of the next generation of the long-haul 777 jet and lower deliveries of the 767 model due to the strike. The Boeing workers in the northwest of the USA stopped work for around seven weeks and achieved a 38 percent increase in income over a period of four years.
