The company said £86m would relate to the settlement and the rest reported as additional costs to complete the retained contract.
It added that it would offset amounts relating to £37m in hose and drogue invoices that have been withheld by Boeing, resulting in a £49m balancing payment to be paid to Boeing during the first half of 2019.
Boeing has ended its payment withhold against Cobham invoices, Cobham said.
