The financial data indicates several notable trends over the five-year period from 2020 to 2024.

Commercial aircraft programs
The value associated with commercial aircraft programs decreased slightly from 70,153 million USD in 2020 to 67,702 million USD in 2022, followed by a marginal recovery to 68,683 million USD in 2023 and a significant increase to 75,192 million USD in 2024. This upward movement in the final year suggests a positive shift, potentially indicating increased production activity or contract acquisitions.
Long-term contracts in progress
Values for long-term contracts fluctuated within a narrow range. Starting at 823 million USD in 2020, they peaked slightly at 872 million USD in 2021, dropped to 582 million USD in 2022, and then rose again to 686 million USD in 2023 and 752 million USD in 2024. While there is variability, the overall trend stabilizes with an upward inclination in the latter years, signaling a potential recovery or expansion in contract backlog.
Capitalized precontract costs
Starting with missing data in 2020, capitalized precontract costs show a consistent increase from 648 million USD in 2021 to 1,176 million USD in 2024. This steady growth reflects escalating investments or expenditures in preparation for securing future contracts, possibly indicating confidence in forthcoming project opportunities.
Commercial spare parts, used aircraft, general stock materials and other
The value in this category declined from 10,739 million USD in 2020 to 9,073 million USD in 2022, followed by gradual recovery to 10,430 million USD in 2024. This pattern suggests initial drawdowns or reduced stock levels possibly due to supply chain adjustments, with replenishment or increased inventory levels occurring thereafter.
Inventories
Overall inventories declined from 81,715 million USD in 2020 to 78,151 million USD in 2022, then began increasing again, reaching 87,550 million USD in 2024. This mirrors trends observed in other related categories and may reflect broader operational cycles, with inventory being reduced initially and then rebuilt in response to market demand or production schedules.

In summary, the data portrays a general recovery and upward trend in commercial programs and associated inventory metrics starting from 2022. The increase in capitalized precontract costs suggests proactive management in contract acquisition, while fluctuations in long-term contracts and spare parts indicate some variability but an overall momentum toward growth by 2024.
