American aircraft manufacturer Boeing have reported their first full-year profit since 2018, following years of supply chain issues.
The company profited by US$2.24 billion in 2025, a significant step forward after net losses of US$11.83 billion the previous year. Q4 profits received a notable boost from the US$9.6 billion sale of its Digital Aviation Solutions business to US-based private equity firm Thoma Bravo.
These figures were supported by Boeing’s highest number of annual deliveries since 2018. 600 commercial aircraft rolled off the production lines, led by the 737 MAX. Nevertheless, a backlog of over 6,000 deliveries remains, worth US$682 billion. Delivery continues to be obstructed by issues across the supply chain, as well as pending regulatory approval of the 737 MAX 7 and MAX 10 variants by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Kelly Ortberg, Boeing President and CEO, said:
We made significant progress on our recovery in 2025 and have set the foundation to keep our momentum going in the year ahead. We completed the acquisition of Spirit AeroSystems and the sale of portions of the Digital Aviation Solutions business and remain focused on promoting stable operations, completing our development programs, rebuilding trust with our stakeholders, and fully restoring Boeing to the iconic company we all know it can be.
