1.0 Introduction
1.1 Background of Study
The public organizations have a huge list of stakeholders, which comprise shareholders, bondholders, bankers, suppliers, employees, and management. These stakeholders are supposed to monitor the activities of the firm and ensure flexibility in the practices by serving their interests. Therefore, they are seen to depend on the company’s financial statements in order to generate the required information (Boeing, 1995).
This paper focuses on the corporate performance of Boeing’s Airlines, which is computed on the basis of analysis of the company’s financial statement. Boeing’s Pro Forma financial statements are being proposed in order to calculate if the firm’s anticipated performance is on the same platform with the targets and also to forecast the upcoming financing needs of the company. The paper continues with the overall financial ratio analysis of Boeing’s Airlines, its Return on Equity (ROE) DuPont analysis, and its Economic Value Added (EVA). The following analysis was done in order to calculate the effect of the company’s financial policies and for decision making on the fact that is it safe to invest in the company’s stock or not (Boeing, 1995).
1.2 Overview of Boeing
Boeing Corporation is the world's biggest aerospace company and one of the leading manufacturers of airlines, which include commercial jetliners and defense, space and security systems. Researchers suggest that it is the also the highest U.S. exporter and associates itself to supports airlines and the government along with their customers in more than 150 countries. The Boeing products line comprise of commercial and military aircraft, satellites, weapons, electronic and defense systems, launch systems, advanced information and communication systems, and performance-based logistics and training.
Boeing is believed to possess long traditions of aerospace leadership, which show their creativity and innovation. The company therefore wishes to expand its business through its product line and proposed services, which fulfill emerging customer needs. The wide range of abilities includes designing new, better members of its commercial airplane family; enhancing military platforms, defense systems and also the war fighters by imposing network-enabled solutions thereby designing advanced technology solutions and providing better customer-financing options.

4.0 Boeing’s ROE DuPont Analysis
The Return on equity (ROE) DuPont analysis results is believed
to be the core factors of financial performance, which
determines a company's potential to produce earnings using
8. shareholder capital. For many years ROE has been key
determining factors of the rate at which a company produces
shareholder wealth. Boeing boosts its ROE by increasing
leverage, which significantly manages the safety associated
with investments. Therefore the company focuses on the return
on assets (ROA), which helps determine a company's earning
power apart from its capital structure. The analysis of the
figures suggests that the incurred gap between ROE and ROA is
a warning sign that the company needs to investigate and
manage immediately (Stock Pup, 2011).
5.0 Boeing’s Economic Value Added (EVA)
Economic value added (EVA) in finance basically computes the
net value a company manages to add for a particular period and
it proves similar in concept to the net present value (NPV).
Comparing with NPV, this part calculates the total value added
during the life of the project in terms of present value, whereas
EVA computes net value added for a particular period. Positive
value produced for EVA during a particular period clearly
indicates the management role in increasing company’s total
growth. Similarly a negative value produced for EVA indicates
cost of capital employed being more than the profit incurred by
the company and the significant decrement in the company’s
value for a particular interval (Damodaran, 2002).
The formula for calculating EVA is given as: EVA=NOPAT-
(WACC ×TOC) where NOPAT = net operating profit after tax,
TOC = total operating cost and WACC = weight average cost of
capital. Based on these calculations the company’s was to seen
to add $645 million in stockholder wealth and almost $952
billion in firm value during a particular year and then managed
to show gradual growth in the past few years (Damodaran,
2002).
6.0 Boeing’s Capital Structure
9. A company’s capitalization produces a mixture of permanent
and long-term capital investments, which generally combines
debt and equity. The balance sheet strength for a company
comes from the reasonable and proportional utility of debt and
equity for the purpose to manage its assets. Therefore a capital
structure can be termed as healthy if its figures show low levels
of debt and high levels of equity as the key factors to promote
financial fitness.
So, the Debt-to-equity ratio, also known as solvency ratio
is calculated on the basis of total debt divided by the total
shareholders' equity. After analysis, it was seen that Boeing
Co.'s debt-to-equity ratio showed improvement from 2011 to
2012 and from 2012 to 2013.
The Debt-to-capital ratio, which is the solvency ratio calculated
on the basis of total debt divided by the total debt plus
shareholders' equity. So, computations suggest Boeing Co.'s
debt-to-capital ratio has increased from 2011 to 2012 and from
2012 to 2013. The Interest coverage ratio, which is the solvency
ratio computed as EBIT divided by the interest payments
calculates value for Boeing Co.'s interest coverage ratio and this
value has also increased from 2011 to 2012 and from 2012 to
2013(Stock Analysis of net, 2014).
7.0 Conclusion
Boeing’s Pro Forma financial statements (Income statements
and Balance sheets) for the next two fiscal years have shown
that at 10% growth rate of sales, Boeing is expected to generate
revenues of almost $24 million and $25 million in the upcoming
years. The company’s Pro Forma financial statements also
forecast that Boeing is financially stable, but may require
finance from other organizations for the purpose of expansion.
Boeing’s financial statement analysis results suggest that the
company is liquid on the basis of current and quick ratio. On the
other hand, it’s profitable on the basis of return on equity.
However, the results predict that the company is unable to
manage its assets properly and is under a huge debt related
obligations. The company’s stock has fallen in the first fiscal
10. year, but is undergrowth for the second fiscal year.
Boeing’s return on equity DuPont analysis results show that the
company’s high return on equity (ROE) of 40% in the last fiscal
year due to the debt elements of the company’s capital
structure. Suppose the company wishes to debt free, its last
fiscal year’s return on equity (ROE) value would be somewhere
around 17.66%. The company’s increasing economic value
added (EVA) of $645 billion suggests that Boeing’s Corp was
able to add a total of $1545 billion in the last few years.
8.0 Decision making whether to invest in Boeing’s Stock
As far MAs decision for buying is concerned, analyzing all the
above factors can state it. Basically the strength of a company’s
balance sheet is calculated on the basis of three broad
categories of investment that comes under quality measurements
and comprisesWorking capital adequacy, Asset performance and
Capital structure.Based on the findings, there are two reasons
behind investing in the Boeing’s stock. They can be summarized
as:
i. Future growth looks promising
Approximately half of Boeing's revenue is generated from its
commercial aviation industry, which is a long-term-growth
story. The company promises that by the next 20 years the
demand will hit 34,000 commercial airplanes, which will be an
increment, costing $4.5 trillion. The growth will focus on the
rising market demands, along with mature markets’, which will
replace aircraft fleets. This era of emerging market growth is
gaining popularity and is in the press releases. A customer
recently ordered seventy 737 commercial airplanes which was a
mixture of MAX 8s, MAX 9s, and Boeing's next-generation
737-800. The contract costs around $7 billion and is basically
the largest Boeing order as recorded in Turkish Airlines'
history. As these emerging markets continue to rise, investors
will get great opportunities in the upcoming years.
ii. Juicing margins
Boeing recently presented a 787 program, which is a great
target for producing almost 10 per month by the end of this year
11. by showing rise from two planes per month from 2013.
Therefore the global investors can count on the firm to make
huge profits as it promises to have great returns in the upcoming
years.
