Boeing on Thursday released preliminary fourth-quarter financial results that were impacted by a nearly two-month labor strike and a new labor agreement last year, as well as other issues at the manufacturer.

The company said it expects to post a loss of $5.46 per share for the fourth quarter. It said it expects its revenue to be $15.2 billion, less than analysts’ expectations, according to LSEG estimates. Boeing said it likely burned through $3.5 billion in cash in the quarter.

Boeing will still release full results on Tuesday as scheduled.

The company expects to take a $1.1 billion charge on its 777X and 767 programs because of the strike and new contract.
