Boeing Co. will set aside about $5 billion to compensate airlines that have
suffered because of the prolonged grounding of the 737 MAX plane.
波音要拨款约50亿美元补偿受737 MAX长期停飞影响的航空公司。
Chicago-based Boeing also faces litigation seeking compensation for
families of the 346 people who died in two crashes, as well as higher costs
after curtailing production of the MAX following its grounding by global
regulators in March.
总部坐落芝加哥的波音公司还面对在两次空难中罹难的346位罹难者家族的索赔诉讼，以及三月份全球监管组织要求其停飞导致该机型减产后的本钱上升问题。
The costs and the potential timing of the MAX’s return to commercial
service will be a key focus of investors when Boeing releases earnings for the
second quarter next week.
波音下周会发布第二季度收益，到时投资者重视的焦点将是本钱以及MAX何时康复商业运营。
Shares in Boeing rose 2% after hours on Thursday from their close at
$361.11, erasing a 2% decline during regular trading.
波音股价周四盘后上涨2%，收于361.11美元，抵消了惯例买卖中跌落2%的影响。
Boeing said the $4.9 billion after-tax charge in the June quarter was
related to estimates for “potential concessions and other considerations to
customers for disruptions.”
波音公司称6月份当季49亿美元的税后开销是依据“因停飞或许对客户做出的退让和其他补偿”预算得出的。
It said the charge, which takes into account taxes, would result in a $5.6
billion reduction in revenue and earnings for the quarter.
该公司称算上这笔开销和税款，本季度收入和收益总额将削减56亿美元。
The company is expected to report sales of about $20 billion for the second
quarter and about $94 billion for 2019, according to the consensus among
analysts polled by FactSet.
FactSet查询的分析师公认该公司第二季度陈述的销售额估计约为200亿美元，2019年总额约为940亿美元。
They had been projecting a quarterly profit of $1.2 billion, meaning the
charge likely will result in a deep loss for the period.
该公司猜测季度赢利为12亿美元，这意味着拿出这笔钱当季或许会对公司形成巨大损失。
Boeing also said it expects to award the concessions to airlines over a
number of years.
波音公司也说方案要给航空公司几年优惠。
Airlines likely will be compensated in cash and a mix of other concessions
including delivery timing, discounts, and added features and services, a person
familiar with Boeing’s plans said.
据波音公司方案的知情人士泄漏，航空公司或许会得到现金补偿，波音还会做出其他退让，包含交给时刻、扣头、以及附加的功用和服务。
