摘要

The Air Force won't bear any costs stemming from a previously undisclosed redesign and necessary rework of KC-46 tanker test models being built by Boeing, the service said July 24. Company CEO W. James McNerney Jr. told financial reporters the company is taking a $272 million charge against earnings in the second quarter to cover the cost of fixing a problem with wiring harnesses on test and production aircraft. Air Force spokesman Ed Gulick said, "All costs above the $4.9 billion ceiling" on the fixed-price program "will continue to be Boeing's responsibility," and government costs "will not go up as a result" of Boeing's announcement. McNerney said the problem is "well-understood," and the fix is being installed to keep the program "on track to the next major milestone," the first flight of the "fully provisioned tanker" near the end of the third quarter. Investors should keep in mind that Boeing sees the KC-46 as a highly profitable "$80 billion ... franchise" with potential orders of 400 aircraft and "decades" of probable production and "in-service support" work, he said.

James McNerney Jr.对财务记者说,在第二季度从收益中扣除2.72亿美元,以弥补解决测试飞机和生产飞机上的线束问题的费用。空军发言人埃德·古利克(Ed Gulick)表示,“固定价格计划上的所有高于49亿美元上限的成本”仍将是波音的责任,而政府成本“不会因波音的宣布而上涨”。麦克纳尼说,这个问题“已经被很好地理解了”,并且正在安装该修复程序,以使该程序“步入下一个主要里程碑”,这是“配备齐全的油轮”在第三季度末的首次试飞。投资者应该记住,波音公司将KC-46视为一项高利润的“ 800亿美元……特许经营权”,潜在订单为400架飞机,并且“数十年”可能进行生产并提供“在役支持”工作。
