Spirit AeroSystems Holdings Inc. (SPR) said Thursday it has reached an agreement with Boeing Co. (BA) relating to the 737 MAX production rate.

Spirit said, under the agreement, it will restart production slowly, ramping up deliveries throughout the year to reach a total of 216 MAX shipsets delivered to Boeing in 2020.

Spirit said it doesn't expect to achieve a production rate of 52 shipsets a month until late 2022. The parties are continuing to negotiate other terms.

Spirit said the rate agreement is based on several assumptions, including Boeing's expected production rate and the successful return of the 737 MAX to service. As previously disclosed, the 737 MAX contractual agreement is a requirements contract between Boeing and Spirit and the rate may change at any time.
