view today's results as mostly positive. We believe the production ramp on the MAX and 787 will remain a focus for investors with

a further emphasis on margins at BCA and the FCF cadence throughout the year.

prospects to achieve a rate break to 47/month on the MAX. Although management continues to guide to a rate break sometime
