Boeing Reports Strong Q1 2025 Earnings as Jet Deliveries Surge

The company announced dramatic strides in its financial turnaround from last year. The aerospace giant recorded robust revenues, positive operating margins, and a notable increase in jet deliveries, indicating a potential turnaround for the company.

In that first quarter of 2025, Boeing’s top line hit $19.4 billion – up a robust 18% over a year ago. Much of this jump in revenue can be traced to an overwhelming increase in aircraft deliveries — especially for their widely manufactured 737 model. After a disappointing previous quarter, Boeing delivered 105 jets this quarter. That’s an 88% jump from the 67 jets it delivered during the same quarter in 2024. Boeing’s impressive order and delivery numbers over the past quarter showcase the resurgence of demand for air travel and Boeing’s efforts to keep pace with that demand.

Furthermore, Boeing’s earnings from operations jumped to $461 million in the first quarter of 2025. That is a stark contrast to this time last year, when the company posted an operating loss. In Q1 2025, operating margins skyrocketed to 2.4%. This is an extraordinary rebound considering the -0.5% margins reported in Q2 of 2024. These three metrics would indicate that Boeing isn’t just making more money, but it’s getting a lot better at making that money operationally, too.

The company’s delivery numbers were strong on almost every aircraft type. Boeing’s starting delivery count was five 767 jets from January through March of 2025. This is up from just three jets delivered in the same quarter last year. Boeing took a big step on its 777, which delivered seven jets this quarter. This is very different from the zero deliveries that we’ve seen in Q1 of 2024. This delivery diversification reflects Boeing’s ongoing work to improve its product offerings and better serve customers’ needs.

And it was a strong quarter for Boeing itself, as the company reported a greatly improved net loss of $31 million for the quarter. That’s a significant recovery from the $355 million deficit projected for Q1 2024. The reduction in losses signals the company’s more permanent moves to stabilize its finances and win back the market’s confidence.
