Boeing reported a loss of USD$160 million for the second quarter, compared with a profit of USD$566 million in the year-ago quarter.
Revenue rose 2 percent to USD$15 billion.
The loss came after a USD$615 million settlement with the US Department of Justice, announced last month, to end two high-profile criminal investigations into its hiring of a former Air Force weapons buyer and its appropriation of thousands of Lockheed Martin rocket program documents.
Boeing also took a charge of USD$496 million to cover the extra costs of delayed surveillance aircraft being produced for Australia and Turkey. Last month, the company said it would take a charge of USD$300 million to USD$500 million for the delay.
