On the 787 program, the company decided not to invest funds for the refurbishment and sale of the two remaining unsold flight test aircraft that were scheduled to be introduced into the modification line.

The company plans to continue producing 747-8 aircraft at a rate of 0.5 per month and no longer increase the production rate to 1.0 per month in 2019. An $814M after-tax charge, or $1.28 per share, on the 747 program reflects a lower estimated total of 747-8 Freighter aircraft to be produced in the program accounting quantity and lower estimated revenues on future aircraft sales. The company will also recognize a $393M after-tax charge, or 62c per share, on the KC-46 Tanker program. In total, the company will record an after-tax earnings impact of $2.1B. 2.
