4. Defense revenue figures are the sum of Boeing’s Defense, Space and Security business and its Global Services business, as well as its Government Services business, excluding revenue from projects with NASA, commercial satellites and the like.

 

5. Defense revenue is calculated by combining revenue from the Marine, Combat and Technologies segments, collectively known as the company’s “defense segments.” This does not account for defense revenue from the Aerospace segment, or nondefense work in the Technologies segment.

13. Defense revenue reflects awards made by Japan’s Ministry of Defense for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021.

 

14. KNDS is a joint venture of Krauss-Maffei Wegmann and Nexter.

 

15. The fiscal 2020 defense revenue figure includes some defense and security products delivered to other defense contractors and government entities that support national security, such as C3 systems, oil and gas pipeline security systems, and public security warning and alarm systems.
