Cautionary Statement About Forward-Looking Statements
This report, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission contain and refer to “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements other than those of current or historical fact, and all statements accompanied by terms such as “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “estimate,” “assume,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “target,” “plan,” and variations thereof, and similar terms, are intended to be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are made subject to the safe harbor provisions of the federal securities laws pursuant to Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
From time to time, we also include forward-looking statements in other publicly disclosed materials. Such statements may relate to our intent, belief and current expectations about our strategic direction, prospects and future results, and give our current expectations or forecasts of future events; they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made. However, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements because such statements speak only as of the date when made.
Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience, present expectations or anticipated results. These risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control, include, but are not limited to: uncertainties related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and operations, financial condition, financial results and financial position, our customers and suppliers, and on the global economy; changes in general economic conditions, in the U.S. or internationally; significant competition on a local, regional, national and international basis; changes in our relationships with our significant customers; changes in the complex and stringent regulation in the U.S. and internationally (including tax laws and regulations); increased physical or data security requirements that may increase our costs of operations and reduce operating efficiencies; legal, regulatory or market responses to global climate change; results of negotiations and ratifications of labor contracts; strikes, work stoppages or slowdowns by our employees; the effects of changing prices of energy, including gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, and interruptions in supplies of these commodities; changes in exchange rates or interest rates; uncertainty from the expected discontinuance of LIBOR and transition to any other interest rate benchmark; our ability to maintain the image of our brand; breaches in data security; disruptions to the Internet or our technology infrastructure; interruptions in or impacts on our business from natural or man-made events or disasters including terrorist attacks, epidemics or pandemics; our ability to accurately forecast our future capital investment needs; exposure to changing economic, political and social developments in international and emerging markets; changes in business strategy, government regulations, or economic or market conditions that may result in substantial impairment of our assets; increases in our expenses or funding obligations relating to employee health, retiree health and/or pension benefits; potential additional tax liabilities in the U.S. or internationally; the potential for various claims and litigation related to labor and employment, personal injury, property damage, business practices, environmental liability and other matters; our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from acquisitions, joint ventures or strategic alliances; our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from our transformation initiatives; cyclical and seasonal fluctuations in our operating results; our ability to manage insurance and claims expenses; and other risks discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and subsequently filed reports. You should consider the limitations on, and risks associated with, forward-looking statements and not unduly rely on the accuracy of information contained in such forward-looking statements. We do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events, circumstances, changes in expectations, or the occurrence of unanticipated events after the date of those statements, except as required by law.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
In our opinion, the accompanying interim unaudited, consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. These interim unaudited, consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 30, 2020, our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. The results reported in these interim, unaudited, consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as indicative of results that may be expected for any other period or the entire year. The interim unaudited, consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited, consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, finance receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The fair values of our investment securities are disclosed in note 5, our recognized multiemployer pension withdrawal liabilities in note 7, our short- and long-term debt in note 9 and our derivative instruments in note 15. We utilized Level 1 inputs in the fair value hierarchy of valuation techniques to determine the fair value of our cash and cash equivalents, and Level 2 inputs to determine the fair value of our accounts receivable, finance receivables and accounts payable.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying interim unaudited, consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingencies at the date of these financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Although our estimates contemplate current and expected future conditions, as applicable, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could differ from our expectations, which could materially affect our results of operations and financial position. In particular, a number of estimates have been and will continue to be affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The severity, magnitude and duration of the pandemic, and the resulting economic consequences, remain uncertain, rapidly changing and difficult to predict. As a result, our accounting estimates and assumptions may change over time as a consequence of the effects of COVID-19.
Such changes could result in future impairments of goodwill, intangible assets, long-lived assets and investment securities, incremental credit losses on financial assets, decreases in the carrying amount of our tax assets, increases in our self-insurance liabilities or increases in our net pension and postretirement benefit obligations at the time of a measurement event.
For interim unaudited, consolidated financial statement purposes, we provide for accruals under our various company-sponsored employee benefit plans for each three month period based on one quarter of the estimated annual expense.

NOTE 2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standards update ("ASU") introducing an expected credit loss methodology for the measurement of financial assets not accounted for at fair value. The methodology replaced the probable, incurred loss model for those assets. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2020. Upon adoption, we updated our process for calculating our allowance for credit losses to include reasonable and supportable forecasts that could affect expected collectability. In the second quarter of 2020, we increased our allowance for credit losses by $27 million based upon our current forecasts that reflect ongoing economic uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
In January 2017, the FASB issued an ASU to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment by eliminating the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill using a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Under this ASU, goodwill impairment is the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2020. Upon adoption, this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
For accounting standards adopted in the period ended June 30, 2019, refer to note 1 to our audited, consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Other accounting pronouncements adopted during the periods covered by the unaudited, consolidated financial statements did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective
In December 2019, the FASB issued an ASU to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The update removes certain exceptions to the general income tax principles. The update will be effective for us in the first quarter of 2021. We are evaluating the impact of its adoption on our consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting environment, but do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In March 2020, the FASB issued an ASU to temporarily ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The update provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform. The guidance was effective upon issuance and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022. We are evaluating the impact of this update on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Other accounting pronouncements issued before, but not effective until after, June 30, 2020, are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 3. REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue Recognition
Substantially all of our revenues are from contracts associated with the pickup, transportation and delivery of packages and freight (“transportation services”), whether carried out by or arranged by UPS, either domestically or internationally, which generally occurs over a short period of time. Additionally, we provide value-added logistics services to customers, both domestically and internationally, through our global network of company-owned and leased distribution centers and field stocking locations.

We account for a contract when both parties have approved the contract and are committed to perform their obligations, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.
Performance Obligations
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, and is the basis of revenue recognition in accordance with GAAP. To determine the proper revenue recognition method for contracts, we evaluate whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as a single contract, and whether the combined or single contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. This evaluation requires judgment, and the decision to combine a group of contracts or separate the combined or single contract into multiple performance obligations could change the amount of revenue and profit recorded in a given period. Within most of our contracts, the customer contracts with us to provide distinct services, such as transportation services. The vast majority of our contracts with customers for transportation services include only one performance obligation; the transportation services themselves. However, if a contract is separated into more than one performance obligation, we allocate the total transaction price to each performance obligation based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods or services underlying each performance obligation. We frequently sell standard transportation services with observable standalone sales prices. In these instances, the observable standalone sales are used to determine the standalone selling price.

Table of Contents
UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In certain business units, such as Logistics, we sell customized, customer-specific solutions in which we integrate a complex set of tasks and components into a single capability (even if that single capability results in the delivery of multiple units). Hence, the entire contract is accounted for as one performance obligation. In these cases we typically use the expected cost plus a margin approach to estimate the standalone selling price of each performance obligation.
Satisfaction of Performance Obligations
We generally recognize revenue over time as we perform the services in the contract because of the continuous transfer of control to the customer. Our customers receive the benefit of our services as the goods are transported from one location to another. Further, if we were unable to complete delivery to the final location, another entity would not need to re-perform the transportation service already performed.
As control transfers over time, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. We use the cost-to-cost measure of progress for our package delivery contracts because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer which occurs as we incur costs on our contracts. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenues, including ancillary or accessorial fees and reductions for estimated customer incentives, are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. Costs to fulfill include labor and other direct costs and an allocation of indirect costs. For our freight and freight forwarding contracts, an output method of progress based on time-in-transit is utilized as the timing of costs incurred does not best depict the transfer of control to the customer. In our Logistics business, we have a right to consideration from customers in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customers of our performance completed to date, and as such we recognize revenue in the amount to which we have a right to invoice the customer.
Variable Consideration
It is common for our contracts to contain customer incentives, guaranteed service refunds or other provisions that can either increase or decrease the transaction price. These variable amounts are generally dependent upon achievement of certain incentive tiers or performance metrics. We estimate variable consideration at the most likely amount to which we expect to be entitled. We include estimated amounts of revenue, which may be reduced by incentives or other contract provisions, in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based on an assessment of anticipated customer spending and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us.
Contract Modifications
Contracts are often modified to account for changes in the rates we charge our customers or to add additional distinct services. We consider contract modifications to exist when the modification either creates new, or changes the existing, enforceable rights and obligations. Contract modifications that add additional distinct goods or services are treated as separate contracts. Contract modifications that do not add distinct goods or services typically change the price of existing services. These contract modifications are accounted for prospectively as the remaining performance obligations are distinct.
Payment Terms
Under the typical payment terms of our customer contracts, the customer pays at periodic intervals (i.e. every 14 days, 30 days, 45 days, etc.) for shipments included on invoices received. Invoices are generated each week on the week-ending day, which is Saturday for the majority of our U.S. Domestic Package business, but could be another day depending on the business unit or the specific agreement with the customer. It is not customary business practice to extend payment terms past 90 days, and as such, we do not have a practice of including a significant financing component within our contracts with customers.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Principal vs. Agent Considerations
In our transportation businesses, we utilize independent contractors and third-party carriers in the performance of some transportation services. GAAP requires us to evaluate, using a control model, whether our businesses themselves promise to transfer services to the customer (as the principal) or to arrange for services to be provided by another party (as the agent). Based on our evaluation of the control model, we determined that all of our major businesses act as the principal rather than the agent within their revenue arrangements. Revenue and the associated purchased transportation costs are both reported on a gross basis within our statements of consolidated income.
Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts receivable, net, include amounts billed and currently due from customers. The amounts due are stated at their net estimated realizable value. Losses on accounts receivable are recognized when reasonable and supportable forecasts affect the expected collectability. This requires us to make our best estimate of the current expected losses inherent in our accounts receivable at each balance sheet date. These estimates require consideration of historical loss experience, adjusted for current conditions, forward looking indicators, trends in customer payment frequency and judgments about the probable effects of relevant observable data, including present and future economic conditions and the financial health of specific customers and market sectors. Our risk management process includes standards and policies for reviewing major account exposures and concentrations of risk.
In the second quarter, we increased our allowance for expected credit losses by $27 million ($50 million year-to-date) based upon current forecasts that reflect continuing economic uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Our allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $153 and $93 million, respectively. Amounts for credit losses charged to expense before recoveries during the quarters ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $153 and $105 million, respectively.
Contract Assets and Liabilities
Contract assets include billed and unbilled amounts resulting from in-transit packages, as we have an unconditional right to payment only once all performance obligations have been completed (i.e., packages have been delivered), and our right to payment is not solely based on the passage of time. Amounts may not exceed their net realizable value. Contract assets are generally classified as current and the full balance is converted each quarter based on the short-term nature of the transactions.
Contract liabilities consist of advance payments and billings in excess of revenue as well as deferred revenue. Advance payments and billings in excess of revenue represent payments received from our customers that will be earned over the contract term. Deferred revenue represents the amount of consideration due from customers related to in-transit shipments that has not yet been recognized as revenue based on our selected measure of progress. We classify advance payments and billings in excess of revenue as either current or long-term, depending on the period over which the advance payment will be earned. We classify deferred revenue as current based on the timing of when we expect to recognize revenue, which typically occurs within a short window after period-end. The full balance of deferred revenue is converted each quarter based on the short-term nature of the transactions. Our contract assets and liabilities are reported in a net position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. In order to determine revenue recognized in the period from contract liabilities, we first allocate revenue to the individual contract liability balance outstanding at the beginning of the period until the revenue exceeds that deferred revenue balance.

NOTE 4. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
We issue employee share-based awards under various incentive compensation plans, which permit the grant of non-qualified and incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and stock units, and restricted performance shares and performance units to eligible employees (restricted stock and stock units, restricted performance shares and performance units are herein referred to as "Restricted Units"). Upon vesting, Restricted Units result in the issuance of the equivalent number of UPS class A common shares after required tax withholdings. Dividends accrued on Restricted Units are reinvested in additional Restricted Units at each dividend payable date, and are subject to the same vesting and forfeiture conditions as the underlying Restricted Units upon which they are earned.
The primary compensation programs offered under the UPS Incentive Compensation Plan include the UPS Management Incentive Award program, the UPS Long-Term Incentive Performance Award program and the UPS Stock Option program. We also maintain an employee stock purchase plan which allows eligible employees to purchase shares of UPS class A common stock at a discount. Additionally, our matching contributions to the primary employee defined contribution savings plan are made in shares of UPS class A common stock.
Management Incentive Award Program ("MIP")
We award Restricted Units under the MIP to certain eligible management employees. For Restricted Units granted under the MIP prior to 2019, vesting generally occurs ratably over a five-year period on January 15th of each of the years following the grant date (except in the case of death, disability or retirement, in which case immediate vesting occurs). The grant value is expensed on a straight-line basis (less estimated forfeitures) over the requisite service period (except in the case of death, disability or retirement, in which case immediate expensing occurs). These historical awards will continue to vest through 2023.
Beginning with the MIP grant in the first quarter of 2019, Restricted Units vest one year following the grant date (except in the case of death, disability or retirement, in which case immediate vesting occurs). The grant value is expensed on a straight-line basis (less estimated forfeitures) over the requisite service period (except in the case of death, disability or retirement, in which case immediate expensing occurs).
Based on the date that the eligible management population and performance targets were approved for the 2019 MIP, we determined the award measurement dates to be February 6, 2020 (for U.S.-based employees), February 12, 2020 (for executive management) and March 23, 2020 (for international-based employees); therefore, the Restricted Units awarded were valued for stock compensation expense purposes using the closing New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") price of $106.51, $105.54 and $91.90 on those dates, respectively.
Long-Term Incentive Performance Award Program ("LTIP")
We award Restricted Units under the LTIP to certain eligible management employees. These Restricted Units generally vest at the end of a three-year performance period (except in the case of death, disability or retirement, in which case immediate vesting occurs on a prorated basis). The number of Restricted Units earned is based on the achievement of the performance targets established on the grant date.
For awards granted prior to 2020, the performance targets are equally-weighted among consolidated operating return on invested capital ("ROIC"), growth in currency-constant consolidated revenue and total shareholder return ("RTSR") relative to a peer group of companies. For the two-thirds of the award related to ROIC and growth in currency-constant consolidated revenue, we recognize the grant date fair value of these Restricted Units (less estimated forfeitures) as compensation expense ratably over the vesting period, based on the number of awards expected to be earned. The remaining one-third of the award related to RTSR is valued using a Monte Carlo model. We recognize the grant date fair value of this portion of the award (less estimated forfeitures) as compensation expense ratably over the vesting period.
Beginning with the LTIP grant that was made in the second quarter of 2020, the performance targets are equally weighted between adjusted earnings per share and adjusted cumulative free cash flow. The final number of Restricted Units earned will then be subject to adjustment based on RTSR relative to the Standard & Poors 500 Index ("S&P 500"). We determine the grant date fair value of the Restricted Units using a Monte Carlo model and recognize compensation expense (less estimated forfeitures) ratably over the vesting period, based on the number of awards expected to be earned.

For the 2020 award, the LTIP will be subdivided into two measurement periods. The first measurement period will evaluate the achievement of the performance targets for the year 2020. The second measurement period will evaluate the achievement of the performance targets for the years 2021 through 2022. The performance targets for the second measurement period will be determined at a future date.

Based on the date that the eligible management employees and performance targets were approved for the 2020 LTIP, we determined the award measurement date for the first measurement period to be May 13, 2020. The target Restricted Units awarded were valued at $91.65.

In the second quarter, we also awarded a one-time grant of Restricted Units that will vest over the same period as the 2020 LTIP. Based on the date that the Compensation Committee approved this award, we determined the award measurement date for the first measurement period to be June 1, 2020 and the target Restricted Units awarded were valued at $99.08 using a Monte Carlo valuation.
The weighted-average assumptions used and the calculated weighted-average fair values of the first measurement period for the 2020 LTIP and the RTSR portion of the 2019 LTIP are as follows:
20202019
Risk-free interest rate0.15 %2.23 %
Expected volatility27.52 %19.64 %
Weighted-average fair value of units granted $92.25  $123.44  
Share payout100.90 %115.04 %
There is no expected dividend yield as units earn dividend equivalents.
Non-Qualified Stock Options
We grant non-qualified stock options to a limited group of eligible senior management employees under the UPS Stock Option program. Stock option awards generally vest over a five-year period with approximately 20% of the award vesting at each anniversary of the grant date (except in the case of death, disability or retirement, in which case immediate vesting occurs). The options granted expire 10 years after the date of the grant. In the first quarter, we granted 0.3 million stock options at a grant price of $105.54, which was the closing NYSE price on February 12, 2020. In the second quarter, we granted 0.1 million stock options at a grant price of $99.28, which was the closing NYSE price on June 1, 2020.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted-average assumptions used and the calculated weighted-average fair values of options granted in 2020 and 2019 are as follows:
20202019
Expected dividend yield3.51 %2.94 %
Risk-free interest rate1.26 %2.60 %
Expected life (in years)7.57.5
Expected volatility19.25 %17.79 %
Weighted-average fair value of options granted$11.74  $16.34  
Pre-tax compensation expense for share-based awards recognized in "Compensation and benefits" on the statements of consolidated income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $137 and $205 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $368 and $513 million, respectively.

During the first six months of 2020, we contributed $41 and $222 million to our company-sponsored pension and U.S. postretirement medical benefit plans, respectively. We currently expect to contribute approximately $1 billion over the remainder of the year to our pension benefit plans. Subject to market conditions, we continually evaluate opportunities for additional discretionary pension contributions.
Multiemployer Benefit Plans
We contribute to a number of multiemployer defined benefit and health and welfare plans under the terms of collective bargaining agreements that cover our union-represented employees. Our current collective bargaining agreements set forth the annual contribution increases allotted to the plans that we participate in, and we are in compliance with these contribution rates. These limitations on annual contribution rates will remain in effect throughout the terms of the existing collective bargaining agreements.
As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 we had $841 and $845 million, respectively, recorded in "Other Non-Current Liabilities" and $7 million as of both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, recorded in "Other current liabilities" on our consolidated balance sheets associated with our previous withdrawal from a multiemployer pension plan. This liability is payable in equal monthly installments over a remaining term of approximately 42 years. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to us for long-term financing of a similar maturity, the fair value of this withdrawal liability as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was $994 and $929 million, respectively. We utilized Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy of valuation techniques to determine the fair value of this liability.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
UPS was a contributing employer to the Central States Pension Fund (“CSPF”) until 2007 when we withdrew from the CSPF and fully funded our allocable share of unfunded vested benefits by paying a $6.1 billion withdrawal liability. Under a collective bargaining agreement with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (“IBT”), UPS agreed to provide coordinating benefits in the UPS/IBT Full Time Employee Pension Plan (“UPS/IBT Plan”) for UPS participants whose last employer was UPS and who had not retired as of January 1, 2008 (“the UPS Transfer Group”) in the event that benefits are lawfully reduced by the CSPF in the future consistent with the terms of our withdrawal agreement with the CSPF. Under our withdrawal agreement with the CSPF, benefits to the UPS Transfer Group cannot be reduced without our consent and can only be reduced in accordance with applicable law.
In December 2014, Congress passed the Multiemployer Pension Reform Act (“MPRA”). This change in law for the first time permitted multiemployer pension plans to reduce benefit payments to retirees, subject to specific guidelines in the statute and government approval. In September 2015, the CSPF submitted a proposed pension benefit reduction plan to the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”). In May 2016, Treasury rejected the proposed plan submitted by the CSPF. In the first quarter of 2018, Congress established a Joint Select Committee to develop a recommendation to improve the solvency of multiemployer plans and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) before a November 30, 2018 deadline. While the Committee’s efforts failed to meet its deadline, the Committee made significant progress towards finding solutions that will address the long-term solvency of multiemployer pension plans. In the third quarter of 2019, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Rehabilitation for Multiemployer Pensions Act of 2019 to provide assistance to critical and declining multiemployer pension plans. This bill is now with the U.S. Senate for consideration. UPS will continue to work with all stakeholders, including legislators and regulators, to implement an acceptable solution.
The CSPF has said that it believes a legislative solution to its funded status is necessary or that it will become insolvent in 2025, and we expect that the CSPF will continue to explore options to avoid insolvency. Numerous factors could affect the CSPF’s funded status and UPS’s potential obligation to pay coordinating benefits under the UPS/IBT Plan. Any obligation to pay coordinating benefits will be subject to a number of significant uncertainties, including whether the CSPF submits a revised MPRA filing and the terms thereof, or whether it otherwise seeks federal government assistance, as well as the terms of any applicable legislation, the extent to which benefits are paid by the PBGC and our ability to successfully defend legal positions we may take in the future under the MPRA, including the suspension ordering provisions, our withdrawal agreement and other applicable law.
We account for the potential obligation to pay coordinating benefits to the UPS Transfer Group under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 715- Compensation- Retirement Benefits (“ASC 715”), which requires us to provide a best estimate of various actuarial assumptions, including the eventual outcome of this matter, in measuring our pension benefit obligation at the December 31st measurement date. While we currently believe the most likely outcome to this matter and the broader systemic problems facing multiemployer pension plans is intervention by the federal government, ASC 715 does not permit anticipation of changes in law in making a best estimate of pension liabilities.
As such, our best estimate of the next most likely outcome at the December 31, 2019 measurement date was that the CSPF would submit and implement another benefit reduction plan under the MPRA during 2020. We believe any MPRA filing would be designed to forestall insolvency by reducing benefits to participants other than the UPS Transfer Group to the maximum extent permitted, and then reducing benefits to the UPS Transfer Group by a lesser amount.
We evaluated this outcome using a deterministic cash flow projection, reflecting updated estimated CSPF cash flows and investment earnings, the lack of legislative action and the absence of a MPRA filing by the CSPF in 2019. As a result, at the December 31, 2019 measurement date, the best estimate of our projected benefit obligation for coordinating benefits that may be required to be directly provided by the UPS/IBT Plan to the UPS Transfer Group was $2.6 billion.
The future value of this estimate will be influenced by the terms and timing of any MPRA filing, changes in our discount rate, rate of return on assets and other actuarial assumptions, presumed solvency of the PBGC, as well as potential solutions resulting from federal government intervention. Any such event may result in a decrease or an increase in the best estimate of our projected benefit obligation. If the uncertainties are not resolved, it is reasonably possible that our projected benefit obligation could increase by approximately $2.2 billion, resulting in a total obligation for coordinating benefits of approximately $4.8 billion. If a future change in law occurs, it may be a significant event requiring an interim remeasurement of the UPS/IBT Plan at the date the law is enacted. We will continue to assess the impact of these uncertainties on our projected benefit obligation in accordance with ASC 715.

Commercial Paper
We are authorized to borrow up to $10.0 billion under a U.S. commercial paper program and €5.0 billion (in a variety of currencies) under a European commercial paper program. We had the following amounts outstanding under these programs as of June 30, 2020: $1.7 billion with an average interest rate of 0.54% and €228 million ($256 million) with an average interest rate of -0.41%. As of June 30, 2020, we have classified the entire commercial paper balance as a current liability on our consolidated balance sheets.
Debt Classification
We have classified a portion of our debt instruments that mature within twelve months and certain floating-rate senior notes with put options as long-term due to our intent and ability to refinance the debt.
Debt Repayments
On April 1, 2020, our 8.375% senior notes with a principal balance of $424 million matured and were repaid in full.
Debt Issuances
On March 24, 2020 we issued four series of notes, in the following principal amounts: $1.0 billion, $750 million, $500 million and $1.25 billion. These notes bear interest at 3.90%, 4.45%, 5.20% and 5.30%, respectively, and will mature on April 1, 2025, April 1, 2030, April 1, 2040 and April 1, 2050, respectively. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually, beginning October 2020. Each series of notes is callable at our option at a redemption price equal to the greater of 100% of the principal amount, or the sum of the present values of scheduled payments of principal and interest, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
In such event, the present values of scheduled principal and interest payments are discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis at the discount rate of the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, and are determined as follows:
On the 3.90% notes, payments from the redemption date until one month prior to maturity
On the 4.45% notes, payments from the redemption date until three months prior to maturity
On the 5.20% and 5.30% notes, payments from the redemption date until six months prior to maturity
Sources of Credit
We maintain two credit agreements with a consortium of banks. One of these agreements provides revolving credit facilities of $2.0 billion, and expires on December 8, 2020. Generally, amounts outstanding under this facility bear interest at a periodic fixed rate equal to LIBOR for the applicable interest period and currency denomination, plus an applicable margin. Alternatively, a fluctuating rate of interest equal to the highest of (1) the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the prime rate in the United States; (2) the Federal Funds effective rate plus 0.50%; and (3) LIBOR for a one month interest period plus 1.00%, plus an applicable margin, may be used at our discretion. In each case, the applicable margin for advances bearing interest based on LIBOR is a percentage determined by quotations from Markit Group Ltd. for our one-year credit default swap spread, subject to a minimum rate of 0.25% and a maximum rate of 1.00%. The applicable margin for advances bearing interest based on the prime rate is 1.00% below the applicable margin for LIBOR advances (but not lower than 0%). We are also able to request advances under this facility based on competitive bids for the applicable interest rate. There were no amounts outstanding under this facility as of June 30, 2020.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The second agreement provides revolving credit facilities of $2.5 billion, and expires on December 11, 2023. Generally, amounts outstanding under this facility bear interest at a periodic fixed rate equal to LIBOR for the applicable interest period and currency denomination, plus an applicable margin. Alternatively, a fluctuating rate of interest equal to the highest of (1) the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the prime rate in the United States; (2) the Federal Funds effective rate plus 0.50%; and (3) LIBOR for a one month interest period plus 1.00%, plus an applicable margin, may be used at our discretion. In each case, the applicable margin for advances bearing interest based on LIBOR is a percentage determined by quotations from Markit Group Ltd. for our one-year credit default swap spread, interpolated for a period from the date of determination of such credit default swap spread in connection with a new interest period until the latest maturity date of this facility then in effect (but not less than a period of one year). The minimum applicable margin rate is 0.10% and the maximum applicable margin rate is 0.75% per annum. The applicable margin for advances bearing interest based on the prime rate is 1.00% below the applicable margin for LIBOR advances (but not less than 0%). We are also able to request advances under this facility based on competitive bids. There were no amounts outstanding under this facility as of June 30, 2020.
Debt Covenants
Our existing debt instruments and credit facilities subject us to certain financial covenants. As of June 30, 2020, and for all periods presented, we have satisfied these financial covenants. These covenants limit the amount of secured indebtedness that we may incur, and limit the amount of attributable debt in sale-leaseback transactions, to 10% of net tangible assets. As of June 30, 2020, 10% of net tangible assets was equivalent to $4.0 billion; however, we had no covered sale-leaseback transactions or secured indebtedness outstanding. We do not expect these covenants to have a material impact on our financial condition or liquidity.
Fair Value of Debt
Based on the borrowing rates currently available to us for debt with similar terms and maturities, the fair value of long-term debt, including current maturities, was approximately $30.6 and $26.9 billion as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. We utilized Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy of valuation techniques to determine the fair value of all of our debt instruments.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 10. LEASES
We recognize a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and lease liability for all leases. Some of our leases contain both lease and non-lease components, which we have elected to treat as a single lease component. We have also elected not to recognize leases that have an original lease term, including reasonably certain renewal or purchase options, of twelve months or less in our consolidated balance sheets for all classes of underlying assets. Lease costs for short-term leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We elected the package of transition practical expedients for existing contracts, which allowed us to carry forward our historical assessments of whether contracts are, or contain, leases, lease classification and determination of initial direct costs.
We lease property and equipment under finance and operating leases. We have finance and operating leases for package centers, airport facilities, warehouses, office space, aircraft, aircraft engines, information technology equipment (primarily mainframes, servers and copiers), vehicles and various other equipment used in operating our business. Certain leases for real estate and aircraft contain options to purchase, extend or terminate the lease. Determining the lease term and amount of lease payments to include in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease liability for leases containing options requires the use of judgment to determine whether the exercise of an option is reasonably certain, and if the optional period and payments should be included in the calculation of the associated ROU asset and lease liability. In making this determination, we consider all relevant economic factors that would compel us to exercise or not exercise an option.
When our leases contain future payments that are dependent on an index or rate, such as the consumer price index, we initially measure the lease liability and ROU asset using the index or rate at the commencement date. In subsequent periods, lease payments dependent on an index or rate are not remeasured. Rather, changes to payments due to a change in an index or rate are recognized in our statements of consolidated income in the period of the change.
When available, we use the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments; however, the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for substantially all of our leases. For these leases, we use an estimate of our incremental borrowing rate to discount lease payments based on information available at lease commencement. The incremental borrowing rate is derived using multiple inputs including our credit rating, the impact of full collateralization, lease term and denominated currency. The remaining lease terms vary from 1 month to 190 years.
Aircraft
In addition to the aircraft that we own, we have leases for 321 aircraft. Of these leased aircraft, 27 are classified as finance leases, 15 are classified as operating leases and the remaining 279 are classified as short-term leases. A majority of the obligations associated with the aircraft classified as finance leases have been legally defeased. Most of our long-term aircraft operating leases are operated by a third party to handle package and cargo volume in geographic regions where, due to government regulations, we are restricted from operating an airline.
In order to meet customers' needs, we charter aircraft to handle package and cargo volume on certain international trade lanes and domestic routes. Due to the nature of these agreements, primarily being that either party can cancel the agreement with short notice, we have classified these as short-term leases. Additionally, the lease payments associated with these charter agreements are variable in nature based on the number of hours flown.
Real Estate
We have operating and finance leases for package centers, airport facilities, warehouses, office space and expansion facilities utilized during peak shipping periods. Many of our leases contain charges for common area maintenance or other expenses that are updated based on landlord estimates. Due to this variability, the cash flows associated with these charges are not included in the minimum lease payments used in determining the ROU asset and associated lease liability.
Some of our real estate leases contain options to renew or extend the lease or terminate the lease before the expiration date. These options are factored into the determination of the lease term and lease payments when their exercise is considered to be reasonably certain.
We also enter into real estate leases that contain lease incentives, such as tenant improvement allowances or move-in allowances, that are received or receivable at lease commencement. These incentives reduce lease payments for classification purposes and reduce the initial ROU asset. When lease incentives are receivable at lease commencement, they also reduce the initial lease liability.

Table of Contents
UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
From time to time, we enter into leases with the intention of purchasing the property, either through purchase options with a fixed price or a purchase agreement negotiated contemporaneously with the lease agreement. We classify these leases as finance leases and include the purchase date and purchase price in the lease term and lease payments, respectively, when the option to exercise or purchase is reasonably certain.
Transportation equipment and other equipment
We enter into both long-term and short-term leases for transportation equipment to supplement our capacity or meet contractual demands. Some of these assets are leased on a month-to-month basis and the leases can be terminated without penalty. The lease term for these types of leases is determined by the length of the underlying customer contract or based on the judgment of the business unit. We also enter into multi-year leases for trailers to increase capacity during periods of high demand, which are typically only used for 90-120 days during the year. These leases are treated as short-term as the cumulative right-of-use is less than 12 months over the term of the contract.
The remainder of our leases are primarily related to equipment used in our air operations, vehicles required to meet capacity needs during periods of higher demand for our shipping services, technology equipment and office equipment used in our facilities.
Some of our transportation and technology equipment leases require us to make additional lease payments based on the underlying usage of the assets. Due to the variable nature of these costs, these are expensed as incurred and are not included in the ROU asset and lease liability.

NOTE 11. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND CONTINGENCIES
We are involved in a number of judicial proceedings and other matters arising from the conduct of our business.
Although there can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome, we have generally denied, or believe we have meritorious defenses and will deny, liability in all pending matters, including (except as otherwise noted herein) the matters described below, and we intend to vigorously defend each matter. We accrue amounts associated with legal proceedings when and to the extent a loss becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated. The actual costs of resolving legal proceedings may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts accrued on those claims.
For matters as to which we are not able to estimate a possible loss or range of losses, we are not able to determine whether any such loss will have a material impact on our operations or financial condition. For matters in this category, we have indicated in the descriptions that follow the reasons that we are unable to estimate the possible loss or range of losses.
Judicial Proceedings
In February 2015, the State and City of New York filed suit against UPS in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, arising from alleged shipments of cigarettes to New York State and City residents. The complaint asserted claims under various federal and state laws. The complaint also included a claim that UPS violated the Assurance of Discontinuance it entered into with the New York Attorney General in 2005 concerning cigarette deliveries. On March 24, 2017, the District Court issued an opinion and order finding liability against UPS on each of the plaintiffs’ causes of action. On May 25, 2017, the District Court issued a corrected opinion and order on liability and an order awarding the plaintiffs damages of $9 million and penalties of $238 million. Following an appeal, on November 7, 2019, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued an order awarding the plaintiffs damages of $19 million and penalties of $79 million. An accrual of $100 million with respect to this matter is included on our consolidated balance sheets. We estimate that the amount of losses could be up to $247 million, plus interest; however, the amount of penalties ultimately payable, if any, is subject to a variety of complex factors and potential outcomes that could be determined in future legal proceedings, including our pending writ of certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court.
We are a defendant in a number of lawsuits filed in state and federal courts containing various class action allegations under state wage-and-hour laws. At this time, we do not believe that any loss associated with any such matter will have a material impact on our operations or financial condition. One of these matters, Hughes v. UPS Supply Chain Solutions, Inc. and United Parcel Service, Inc. had previously been certified as a class action in Kentucky state court. In the second quarter of 2019, the court granted our motion for judgment on the pleadings related to the wage-and-hour claims. The plaintiffs have appealed this decision.
Other Matters
In October 2015, the Department of Justice ("DOJ") informed us of an industry-wide inquiry into the transportation of mail under the United States Postal Service ("USPS") International Commercial Air contracts. In October 2017, we received a Civil Investigative Demand seeking certain information relating to our contracts. The DOJ has indicated it is investigating potential violations of the False Claims Act or other statutes. We are cooperating with the DOJ. An immaterial accrual with respect to this matter is included on our consolidated balance sheets. We do not believe that any loss from this matter would have a material impact on our operations or financial condition, although we are unable to predict what action, if any, might be taken in the future by any government authorities as a result of their investigation.

UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In August 2016, Spain’s National Markets and Competition Commission (“CNMC”) announced an investigation into 10 companies in the commercial delivery and parcel industry, including UPS, related to alleged nonaggression agreements to allocate customers. In May 2017, UPS received a Statement of Objections issued by the CNMC. In July 2017, UPS received a Proposed Decision from the CNMC. On March 8, 2018, the CNMC adopted a final decision, finding an infringement and imposing an immaterial fine on UPS. UPS appealed the decision and in September 2018, obtained a suspension of the implementation of the decision (including payment of the fine). The appeal is pending. We do not believe that any loss from this matter would have a material impact on our operations or financial condition. We are vigorously defending ourselves and believe that we have a number of meritorious legal defenses. There are also unresolved questions of law and fact that could be important to the ultimate resolution of this matter.
We are a party in various other matters that arose in the normal course of business. We do not believe that the eventual resolution of these other matters (either individually or in the aggregate), including any reasonably possible losses in excess of current accruals, will have a material impact on our operations or financial condition.

NOTE 12. SHAREOWNERS' EQUITY
Capital Stock, Additional Paid-In Capital, Retained Earnings and Non-Controlling Minority Interest
We maintain two classes of common stock, which are distinguished from each other by their respective voting rights. Class A shares of UPS are entitled to 10 votes per share, whereas class B shares are entitled to one vote per share. Class A shares are primarily held by UPS employees and retirees, as well as trusts and descendants of the Company's founders, and these shares are fully convertible into class B shares at any time. Class B shares are publicly traded on the NYSE under the symbol “UPS”. Class A and B shares both have a $0.01 par value, and as of June 30, 2020, there were 4.6 billion class A shares and 5.6 billion class B shares authorized to be issued. Additionally, there are 200 million preferred shares authorized to be issued, with a par value of $0.01 per share. As of June 30, 2020, no preferred shares had been issued.
The following is a rollforward of our common stock, additional paid-in capital, retained earnings and non-controlling minority interest accounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 (in millions, except per share amounts):

In May 2016, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase authorization of $8.0 billion for shares of class A and class B common stock, which has no expiration date. As of June 30, 2020, we had $2.1 billion of this share repurchase authorization available.
Share repurchases may be in the form of accelerated share repurchase programs, open market purchases or other methods we deem appropriate. The timing of share repurchases will depend upon market conditions. Unless terminated earlier by the Board, the program will expire when we have purchased all shares authorized for repurchase under the program.
We did not repurchase any shares under this program during the three months ended June 30, 2020. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we repurchased 2.4 million shares of class A and class B common stock for $251 million. We repurchased 2.1 and 4.8 million shares of class A and class B common stock for $217 and $502 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively ($231 million and $503 million in repurchases for 2020 and 2019, respectively, are reported on the statements of consolidated cash flows due to the timing of settlements).
From time to time, we enter into share repurchase programs with large financial institutions to assist in our buyback of company stock. These programs may allow us to repurchase our shares at a price below the weighted average share price for a given period. During the second quarter, we did not enter into any accelerated share repurchase transactions.

UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In order to lower the average cost of acquiring shares in our ongoing share repurchase program, we periodically enter into structured repurchase agreements involving the use of capped call options for the purchase of UPS class B shares. We pay a fixed sum of cash upon execution of each agreement in exchange for the right to receive either a predetermined amount of cash or stock. Upon expiration of each agreement, if the closing market price of our common stock is above the predetermined price, we will have our initial investment returned with a premium in either cash or shares (at our election). If the closing market price of our common stock is at or below the predetermined price, we will receive the number of shares specified in the agreement. We received net premiums of $6 and $1 million during the three and six months ended 2019, respectively, related to entering into and settling capped call options for the purchase of class B shares. As of June 30, 2020, we had no capped call options outstanding.
On April 28, 2020 we announced our intention to suspend stock repurchases.
Movements in Additional Paid-In Capital in respect of stock award plans comprise accruals for unvested awards, offset by adjustments for awards that vest during the period.

NOTE 13. SEGMENT INFORMATION
We report our operations in three segments: U.S. Domestic Package, International Package and Supply Chain & Freight. Package operations represent our most significant business and are broken down into regional operations around the world. Regional operations managers are responsible for both domestic and export products within their geographic area.
U.S. Domestic Package
Domestic Package operations include the time-definite delivery of letters, documents and packages throughout the United States.
International Package
International Package operations include delivery to more than 220 countries and territories worldwide, including shipments wholly outside the United States, as well as shipments with either origin or destination outside the United States. Our International Package reporting segment includes the operations of our Europe, Asia, Americas and ISMEA (Indian Subcontinent, Middle East and Africa) operating segments.
Supply Chain & Freight
Supply Chain & Freight includes Forwarding, Logistics, Coyote, Marken, UPS Mail Innovations, UPS Freight and other aggregated business units. Our Forwarding, Logistics and UPS Mail Innovations business units provide services in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide and include international air and ocean freight forwarding, customs brokerage, distribution and post-sales services, mail and consulting services. UPS Freight offers a variety of less-than-truckload ("LTL") and truckload ("TL") services to customers in North America. Coyote offers truckload brokerage services primarily in the United States. Marken is a global provider of supply chain solutions to the life sciences industry. Other aggregated business units within this segment include The UPS Store and UPS Capital.
In evaluating financial performance, we focus on operating profit as a segment’s measure of profit or loss. Operating profit is before investment income and other, interest expense and income taxes. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of accounting policies included in the audited, consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and in the "Results of Operations - Segment Review" section of Management's Discussion and Analysis included in this report. Certain expenses are allocated between the segments using activity-based costing methods.

NOTE 15. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Risk Management Policies
Changes in fuel prices, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates impact our results of operations. These exposures are actively monitored by management. To manage the impact of these exposures, we enter into a variety of derivative financial instruments. Our objective is to manage, where it is deemed appropriate to do so, fluctuations in earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency rates, commodity prices and interest rates. It is our policy and practice to use derivative financial instruments only to the extent necessary to manage exposures. As we use price sensitive instruments to hedge a certain portion of our existing and anticipated transactions, we expect that any loss in value from those instruments generally would be offset by increases in the value of those hedged transactions. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Credit Risk Management
The forward contracts, swaps and options discussed below contain an element of risk that the counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements; however, we seek to minimize such risk exposures for these instruments by limiting the counterparties to banks and financial institutions that meet established credit guidelines and by monitoring counterparties to prevent concentrations of credit risk with any single counterparty.
 We have agreements with all of our active counterparties (covering the majority of our derivative positions) containing early termination rights and/or zero threshold bilateral collateral provisions whereby cash is required based on the net fair value of derivatives associated with those counterparties.
At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we held cash collateral of $623 and $495 million, respectively, under these agreements; this collateral is included in "Cash and cash equivalents" in the consolidated balance sheets and its use by UPS is not restricted. At each of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, no additional collateral was required to be posted with our counterparties.
Events such as a counterparty credit rating downgrade (depending on the ultimate rating level) could also allow us to take additional protective measures such as the early termination of trades. Alternatively, we could be required to provide additional collateral or terminate transactions with certain counterparties in the event of a downgrade of our credit rating. The amount of collateral required would be determined by the net fair value of the associated derivatives with each counterparty. We have not historically incurred, and do not expect to incur in the future, any losses as a result of counterparty default.
At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 there were no instruments in a net liability position that were not covered by the zero threshold bilateral collateral provisions.
Types of Hedges
Commodity Risk Management
Currently, the fuel surcharges that we apply to our domestic and international package and LTL services are the primary means of reducing the risk of adverse fuel price changes on our business. In order to mitigate the impact of fuel surcharges imposed on us by outside carriers, we regularly adjust the rates we charge for our freight brokerage, inter-modal and truckload services. We periodically enter into derivative contracts on energy commodity products to manage the price risk associated with forecasted transactions involving refined fuels, principally jet-A, diesel and unleaded gasoline. The objective of the hedges is to reduce the variability of cash flows, due to changing fuel prices, associated with the forecasted transactions involving those products. We normally designate and account for these contracts as cash flow hedges of the underlying forecasted transactions involving these fuel products and, therefore, the resulting gains and losses from these hedges are recognized as a component of fuel expense or revenue when the underlying transactions occur.
Foreign Currency Risk Management
To protect against the reduction in value of forecasted foreign currency cash flows from our international package business, we maintain a foreign currency cash flow hedging program. Our most significant foreign currency exposures relate to the Euro, British Pound Sterling, Canadian Dollar, Chinese Renminbi and Hong Kong Dollar. We hedge portions of our forecasted revenue denominated in foreign currencies with forward contracts. We normally designate and account for these contracts as cash flow hedges of anticipated foreign currency denominated revenue and, therefore, the resulting gains and losses from these hedges are recognized as a component of international package revenue when the underlying sales transactions occur.

Table of Contents
UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We also hedge portions of our anticipated cash settlements of intercompany transactions and interest payments on certain debt subject to foreign currency remeasurement using foreign currency forward contracts. We normally designate and account for these contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted foreign currency denominated transactions; therefore, the resulting gains and losses from these hedges are recognized as a component of investment income and other when the underlying transactions are subject to currency remeasurement.
We hedge our net investment in certain foreign operations with foreign currency denominated debt instruments. The use of foreign denominated debt as the hedging instrument allows the debt to be remeasured to foreign currency translation adjustment within AOCI to offset the translation risk from those investments. Balances in the cumulative translation adjustment accounts remain until the sale or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity, upon which they are recognized as a component of investment income and other.
Interest Rate Risk Management
Our indebtedness under our various financing arrangements creates interest rate risk. We use a combination of derivative instruments as part of our program to manage the fixed and floating interest rate mix of our total debt portfolio and related overall cost of borrowing. The notional amount, interest payment date and maturity date of the swaps match the terms of the associated debt being hedged. Interest rate swaps allow us to maintain a target range of floating-rate debt within our capital structure.
We have designated and account for the majority of our interest rate swaps that convert fixed-rate interest payments into floating-rate interest payments as hedges of the fair value of the associated debt instruments. Therefore, the gains and losses resulting from fair value adjustments to the interest rate swaps and fair value adjustments to the associated debt instruments are recorded to interest expense in the period in which the gains and losses occur. We have designated and account for interest rate swaps that convert floating-rate interest payments into fixed-rate interest payments as cash flow hedges of the forecasted payment obligations. The gains and losses resulting from fair value adjustments to these interest rate swaps are recorded to AOCI.
We periodically hedge the forecasted fixed-coupon interest payments associated with anticipated debt offerings by using forward starting interest rate swaps, interest rate locks or similar derivatives. These agreements effectively lock a portion of our interest rate exposure between the time the agreement is entered into and the date when the debt offering is completed, thereby mitigating the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. These derivatives are settled commensurate with the issuance of the debt, and any gain or loss upon settlement is amortized as an adjustment to the effective interest yield on the debt.

Our foreign exchange, interest rate and investment market price derivatives are largely comprised of over-the-counter derivatives, which are primarily valued using pricing models that rely on market observable inputs such as yield curves, currency exchange rates and investment forward prices; therefore, these derivatives are classified as Level 2. At June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 we did not have any derivatives that were classified as Level 1 (valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets) or Level 3 (valued using significant unobservable inputs).

Additionally, we maintain interest rate swaps, foreign exchange forwards and investment market price forward contracts that are not designated as hedges. The interest rate swap contracts are intended to provide an economic hedge of portions of our outstanding debt. The foreign exchange forward contracts are intended to provide an economic offset to foreign currency remeasurement and settlement risk for certain assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. The investment market price forward contracts are intended to provide an economic offset to fair value fluctuations of certain investments in marketable securities.
We also periodically terminate interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts by entering into offsetting swap and foreign currency positions with different counterparties. As part of this process, we de-designate our original swap and foreign exchange contracts. These transactions provide an economic offset that effectively eliminates the effects of changes in market valuation.
The following is a summary of the amounts recorded in the statements of consolidated income related to fair value changes and settlements of these interest rate swaps, foreign currency forward and investment market price forward contracts not designated as hedges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 (in millions):

NOTE 16. INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rate increased to 25.0% in the second quarter of 2020 from 23.5% in the same period of 2019 (24.2% year-to-date in 2020 compared to 23.3% in the same period of 2019). The recognition in income tax of excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation reduced our effective rate by 0.3% year-to-date in 2020 compared to 0.2% in the same period of 2019 (there was no significant impact in the second quarter of 2020 or 2019). Our effective tax rate increased in 2020 compared to 2019 primarily due to unfavorable changes in our uncertain tax positions.
As discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, we have recognized liabilities for uncertain tax positions. We reevaluate these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis. A number of years may elapse before an uncertain tax position is audited and ultimately settled. It is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome or the timing of resolution for uncertain tax positions. It is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits could significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months. However, an estimate of the range of reasonably possible outcomes cannot be made. Items that may cause changes to unrecognized tax benefits include the timing of interest deductions and the allocation of income and expense between tax jurisdictions. These changes could result from the settlement of ongoing litigation, the completion of ongoing examinations, the expiration of the statutes of limitations, additional regulatory guidance on the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act or other unforeseen circumstances.
As discussed in note 17, we recognized pre-tax transformation strategy costs of $112 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $21 million in the same period of 2019 ($157 million year-to-date in 2020 compared to $144 million in the same period of 2019). As a result, we recorded an additional income tax benefit of $29 million in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $4 million in the same period of 2019 ($39 million year-to-date in 2020 compared to $34 million in the same period of 2019). This year-to-date benefit was generated at a higher average tax rate than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate primarily due to the effect of U.S. state and local taxes and foreign taxes.

NOTE 17. TRANSFORMATION STRATEGY COSTS
In the first quarter of 2018, we launched the first phase of a multi-year, enterprise-wide transformation strategy impacting our organization. Over the next several years additional phases will be implemented. The program includes investments, as well as changes in processes and technology, that impact global direct and indirect operating costs.
The table below presents the transformation strategy costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 (in millions):

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview
During the second quarter, the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting actions taken by governments and consumers around the world continued to impact our business globally. In particular, shutdowns and other restrictions implemented in many countries, together with the continuing migration to e-commerce, significantly impacted the overall mix of demand for our services. Business-to-consumer shipments were elevated throughout the second quarter, although their relative share of average daily volume began to reduce in June as government restrictions were eased globally. Commercial shipments, which declined as a result of the widespread shutdowns, began to recover in the latter part of the quarter.
The U.S. Domestic Package segment experienced strong revenue growth, driven by increased residential ground volume. The change in customer and product mix, as well as a decline in average billable weight per shipment, resulted in lower revenue per piece. Expenses reflect the impact of elevated residential deliveries. The lower delivery density resulted in higher average daily union hours and higher average daily miles driven. We also hired approximately 39,000 additional employees to enable us to process the increase in volume. These factors weighed on the segment's operating profit for the quarter.
We expect the elevated level of volume and residential deliveries will continue, although we are unable to predict for how long these circumstances will persist. We anticipate that our benefits cost will increase in the latter part of the year as newly-hired employees become eligible for coverage. Additionally, costs incurred to improve our time-in-transit may exceed the associated revenue for the remainder of the year. If we are unable to optimize volume in our network and adjust our costs in response to the lower delivery density, operating margins may continue to be compressed.
Our International segment experienced revenue growth driven by a strong increase in outbound volume from Asia, as well as growth from e-commerce within Europe. We expect outbound demand from Asia to moderate over the remainder of the year.
In our Supply Chain & Freight segment, we experienced growth in international air freight due to outbound demand from Asia, primarily for personal protective equipment and other supplies related to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, our mail services business saw strong growth from e-commerce shipments. Our other Supply Chain & Freight businesses were negatively impacted by the widespread business shutdowns, and we expect that overall conditions may remain challenging.
We continue to anticipate negative impacts on our accounts receivable collections from the disruption to global business activity caused by COVID-19. As a result, we recorded an incremental allowance for credit losses of $27 million in the second quarter ($50 million year-to-date). As global macroeconomic trends continue to evolve, it is possible that we will experience further adverse developments in our allowances for credit losses or be required to recognize impairments of goodwill or other long-lived assets. The increases in average daily hours and average daily miles driven within our U.S. Domestic business could also continue to drive adverse developments in our casualty self-insurance reserves.
We believe that we remain well positioned for long-term growth, however we cannot reasonably estimate the duration or severity of this pandemic or its ultimate impact on the global economy, our business results or liquidity. For additional information on these risks and uncertainties, see Part II, Item 1A in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Supplemental Information - Items Affecting Comparability
We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) with certain non-GAAP financial measures including "adjusted" compensation and benefits, operating expenses, operating profit, operating margin, other income (expense), income before income taxes, income tax expense, effective tax rate, net income and earnings per share. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide additional meaningful information to assist users of our financial statements in understanding our financial results and assessing our ongoing performance, because they exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, our underlying operations, and may provide a useful baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses. These non-GAAP measures are used internally by management for business unit operating performance analysis, business unit resource allocation and in connection with incentive compensation award determinations.
Adjusted amounts reflect the following:

Total Adjustments to Net Income$83  $17  $118  $110  
For additional information regarding our transformation strategy costs see note 17 to the unaudited, consolidated financial statements included in this report.
We also supplement the reporting of revenue, revenue per piece and operating profit with non-GAAP measures that exclude the period over period impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes and hedging activities. We believe currency-neutral revenue, revenue per piece and operating profit information allows users of our financial statements to understand growth trends in our products and results. We evaluate the performance of our International Package and Supply Chain & Freight segments on this currency-neutral basis.
Currency-neutral revenue, revenue per piece and operating profit are calculated by dividing current period reported U.S. dollar revenue, revenue per piece and operating profit by the current period average exchange rates to derive current period local currency revenue, revenue per piece and operating profit. The derived amounts are then multiplied by the average foreign exchange rates used to translate the comparable results for each month in the prior year period (including the period over period impact of foreign currency revenue hedging activities). The difference between the current period reported U.S. dollar revenue, revenue per piece and operating profit and the derived current period U.S. dollar revenue, revenue per piece and operating profit is the period over period impact of currency fluctuations.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures. Our non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similar measures used by other companies.

Results of Operations - Segment Review
The results and discussions that follow are reflective of how our management monitors and evaluates the performance of our reporting segments.
Certain operating expenses are allocated among our reporting segments using activity-based costing methods. These activity-based costing methods require us to make estimates that impact the amount of each expense that is attributed to each segment. Changes in these estimates would directly impact the amount of expense allocated to each segment and therefore the operating profit of each reporting segment. Our allocation methodologies are refined periodically, as necessary, to reflect changes in our business. Beginning in 2020, we updated our cost allocation methodology for the Ground with Freight Pricing ("GFP") product. The cost associated with GFP that is allocated from the U.S. Domestic Package segment to UPS Freight, within the Supply Chain & Freight segment, was adjusted to better reflect operational activities associated with this product. As a result, expense allocated to UPS Freight for the second quarter decreased by $1 million (increased allocation of $2 million year-to-date). There were no significant changes in our expense allocation methodologies in 2019.
We continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on the fair value of our reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets. As of June 30, 2020, we concluded that no events had occurred that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of any reporting unit or indefinite-lived intangible asset below its carrying value as of that date. However, the economic outlook remains uncertain. If our future expectations for revenue, earnings or cash flows from our reporting units decrease, it is reasonably possible that goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets in one or more of these reporting units could be impaired.

Volume
Volume increased across all products in the second quarter and year-to-date periods, led by strong growth in our deferred and ground services driven by continuing elevated demand for residential delivery. Growth was driven primarily by large retail customers, although we experienced volume growth from small- and medium-sized business customers of 17.8% and 22.4% during May and June, respectively, as a result of the e-commerce shift related to COVID-19.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Business-to-consumer shipments, which represented approximately 69% of the total U.S. Domestic Package average daily volume in the quarter, as compared to approximately 51% in the second quarter of 2019, grew 65.2% (up 42.8% year-to-date) driven by growth in e-commerce. In particular, we continued to experience significantly elevated business-to-consumer volume as restrictions implemented in response to COVID-19 drove more consumers online. Business-to-consumer shipments remained significantly elevated throughout the second quarter, although the percentage of average daily volume attributable to business-to-consumer shipments declined in June as government restrictions were eased around the country and business activity began to increase. Business-to-business shipments decreased 21.9% in the second quarter (down 12.0% year-to-date), driven by lower volume in our ground products as a result of temporary business closures across large parts of the country. This decrease was most significant in April, when volume declined 37.8%, and had moderated to a decline of 7.7% in June.
Overall average daily volume increased in the second quarter and year-to-date periods for both our Next Day Air and Deferred products. Strong air volume growth continued primarily in residential Next Day and Deferred Package products as the impacts of COVID-19 drove a significant increase in business-to-consumer volume. This growth was slightly offset by declines in Next Day and Second Day Letter volume due to shifts in customer preferences.
Residential ground and SurePost volume also increased significantly in the second quarter and year-to-date periods, driven by changes in customer mix resulting from continued growth in e-commerce as COVID-19 restrictions continued during the quarter. Ground commercial volume declined overall during the second quarter and year-to-date periods as many businesses temporarily closed in response to government restrictions, however we experienced some volume growth in June as businesses began to reopen.
Rates and Product Mix
Overall revenue per piece decreased for the second quarter and year-to-date periods due to changes in customer and product mix and fuel surcharge rates, partially offset by changes in base rates.
Revenue per piece for all products was positively impacted by a base rate increase in December 2019. Ground rates and air services rates increased an average net 4.9%.
Revenue per piece for our Next Day Air and Deferred products decreased in the second quarter and year-to-date periods. This decrease was primarily driven by a shift in customer and product mix and a decrease in average billable weight per piece, which was partially offset by the increase in base rates described above.
Revenue per piece for our Ground products decreased slightly for the second quarter and year-to-date periods primarily due to a shift in product mix with a substantial increase in SurePost volume, as well as a decrease in average billable weight per piece. This decrease was partially offset by base rate increases.
Fuel Surcharges
We apply a fuel surcharge to domestic air and ground services that is adjusted weekly. The air fuel surcharge is based on the U.S. Department of Energy’s (“DOE”) Gulf Coast spot price for a gallon of kerosene-type jet fuel, while the ground fuel surcharge is based on the DOE’s On-Highway Diesel Fuel price. Effective March 2, 2020, the fuel surcharge rates were raised for all thresholds on U.S. air and ground services. Based on published rates, the average fuel surcharges for domestic Air and Ground products were as follows:

Ground6.4 %7.4 %(1.0)%6.8 %7.3 %(0.5)%
While fluctuations in fuel surcharge percentages can be significant from period to period, fuel surcharges are only one of the many individual components of our pricing structure that impact our overall revenue and yield. Additional components include the mix of services sold, the base price and additional charges for these services and the pricing discounts offered.
Total domestic fuel surcharge revenue decreased by $129 million in the second quarter (down $135 year-to-date) as a result of lower fuel surcharge indices, partially offset by increases in package volume and shifts in product mix.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Operating Expenses
Operating expenses, and operating expenses excluding the year over year impact of transformation strategy costs, increased in the second quarter, primarily due to increased pickup and delivery costs (up $1,249 million). Pickup and delivery costs increased as the elevated level of residential volume negatively impacted our delivery density, driving a 36.2% increase in package delivery stops per day and a 15.7% increase in average daily miles driven. In addition, the costs of operating our domestic integrated air and ground network increased $221 million, the costs of package sorting increased $271 million and other indirect operating costs increased $194 million. The increases in expense were driven by several factors:
Higher employee compensation and benefit costs largely resulting from:
volume growth, which resulted in an increase in average daily direct union labor hours of 22.7%;
union pay rate increases; and
growth in the overall size of the workforce.
We incurred higher employee benefit expenses due to additional headcount, contractual contribution rate increases to union multiemployer plans, changes in benefit eligibility for certain union employees and higher service costs for our company-sponsored pension and postretirement plans, primarily driven by lower discount rates used to measure the projected benefit obligations of these plans. Workers' compensation expense increased $126 million as a result of additional hours, medical and wage inflation and claims experience.
Higher third party transportation costs were largely driven by additional SurePost volume.
The increases described above were partially offset by a decrease in fuel costs driven by lower jet fuel, diesel and gasoline prices, as well as alternative fuel tax credits arising from legislation passed in the fourth quarter of 2019.
On a year-to-date basis, operating expenses and operating expenses excluding the year over year impact of transformation strategy costs increased due to pickup and delivery costs (up $1,972 million), the costs of operating our domestic integrated air and ground network (up $505 million), the costs of package sorting (up $427 million) and other indirect operating costs (up $300 million). These increases were primarily driven by higher volume with lower delivery density, increased employee compensation and benefit costs and higher self-insurance casualty losses.
Total cost per piece decreased 2.6% for the second quarter (down 0.3% year-to-date). Excluding the impact of transformation strategy costs, adjusted cost per piece decreased 2.7% for the second quarter (down 0.3% year-to-date). Cost per piece decreased primarily due to lower fuel costs.
Operating Profit and Margin
As a result of the factors described above, operating profit decreased $26 million in the second quarter (down $328 million year-to-date), with operating margins decreasing 180 basis points to 9.0% (down 240 basis points to 6.3% year-to-date). Excluding the year over year impact of transformation strategy costs, adjusted operating profit decreased $11 million in the second quarter (down $304 million year-to-date), with adjusted operating margins decreasing 170 basis points to 9.3% (down 230 basis points to 6.6% year-to-date).

Volume
Average daily volume increased in the second quarter and year-to-date periods for both domestic and export products. Business-to-consumer volume increased in the second quarter and year-to-date periods, with growth peaking in May as isolation measures implemented by many countries in response to COVID-19 during the first quarter continued to push consumers online. As countries began easing these measures in the latter half of the second quarter, business-to-consumer volume decreased slightly in June. Business-to-business volume declined in the second quarter and for the year-to-date. Declines in commercial volume in April and May were partially offset by growth in June, primarily in Europe and Asia as business activity began to resume.
Average daily volume for the quarter and year-to-date periods was impacted by higher online consumer demand, as well as increased demand from the government and technology sectors. These increases were slightly offset by lower demand from manufacturing, healthcare and professional services customers.
Export volume increased in the second quarter and year-to-date periods across most major trade lanes, driven by Asia, as the region was the first to ease restrictions implemented in response to COVID-19. Volume on the Europe to U.S. and Intra-Europe trade lanes also increased, driven by our large customers. Export volume growth for the quarter and year-to-date periods was strongest in our non-premium expedited and standard products such as Worldwide Expedited and Transborder Standard. Export volume increased slightly in the second quarter in our premium Worldwide Express product.
Domestic volume also increased in the majority of our markets in the second quarter and year-to-date periods primarily due to residential growth from large customers in the online retail sector.
Rates and Product Mix
In December 2019 we implemented an average 4.9% net increase in base and accessorial rates for international shipments originating in the United States. Rate changes for shipments originating outside the U.S. are made throughout the year and vary by geographic market. In response to capacity constraints driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, we implemented a demand surcharge on certain shipments from Asia to the U.S. and Asia to Europe in March 2020.
Total revenue per piece decreased 3.9% in the second quarter (down 2.9% year-to-date), of which 1.0% (0.8% year-to-date) was attributable to currency movements. Excluding the impact of currency, revenue per piece decreased 2.9% (2.1% year-to-date), primarily due to negative impacts from declines in fuel surcharge indices.
Domestic revenue per piece decreased 3.9% in the second quarter (down 2.3% year-to-date), of which 2.4% (2.0% year-to-date) was attributable to currency movements. Excluding the impact of currency, revenue per piece decreased 1.5% (0.3% year-to-date) due to declines in fuel surcharge indices, offset by base rate increases.
Export revenue per piece decreased 5.0% in the second quarter (3.2% year-to-date), of which 0.6% (0.4% year-to-date) was attributable to currency movements. Excluding the impact of currency, revenue per piece decreased 4.4% (2.8% year-to-date) driven by declines in fuel surcharge indices and the continuing trend towards our non-premium products, offset by base rate increases and growth in our express product in Asia.
We have implemented changes to our international rates to better reflect the rapidly changing environment. We constantly monitor rates and make adjustments where feasible.
Fuel Surcharges
We apply fuel surcharges on our international air and ground services. The fuel surcharges for international air services originating inside or outside the U.S. are largely indexed to the DOE's Gulf Coast spot price for a gallon of kerosene-type jet fuel. The fuel surcharges for ground services originating outside the U.S. are indexed to fuel prices in the region or country where the shipment originates.
While fluctuations in fuel surcharge percentages can be significant from period to period, fuel surcharges represent one of the many individual components of our pricing structure that impact our overall revenue and yield. Additional components include the mix of services sold, the base price and extra service charges and the pricing discounts offered. Total international fuel surcharge revenue decreased $148 million in the second quarter ($155 million year-to-date) due to the declines in fuel surcharge indices.

Operating Expenses
Operating expenses, and operating expenses excluding the year over year impact of transformation strategy costs, increased in the second quarter but remained relatively flat year-to-date. The second quarter increase was primarily due to increased pickup and delivery costs driven by higher volume, which were partially offset by more effective management of network capacity, combined with lower fuel prices and favorable currency exchange rate movements.
The costs of operating our integrated international air and ground network decreased $105 million in the second quarter ($137 million year-to-date), as increased block hours were more than offset by lower fuel prices. Pickup and delivery costs increased $64 million for the second quarter ($69 million year-to-date) due to shifts in customer and product mix. The remaining increase in operating expenses in the second quarter and year-to-date periods was largely attributable to transformation strategy costs.
In addition to variability in usage and market prices, the manner in which we purchase fuel also influences the net impact of fuel costs on our results. The majority of our contracts for fuel purchases utilize index-based pricing formulas plus or minus a fixed locational/supplier differential. While many of the indices are aligned, each index may fluctuate at a different pace, driving variability in the prices paid for fuel. Because of this, our operating results may be affected should the market price of fuel suddenly change by a significant amount or change by amounts that do not result in an adjustment in our fuel surcharges, which can significantly affect our earnings either positively or negatively in the short-term.
Operating Profit and Margin
As a result of the factors described above, operating profit increased $108 million in the second quarter ($131 million year-to-date), with operating margin increasing 190 basis points to 20.8% (160 basis points to 18.7% year-to-date). Excluding the year over year impact of transformation strategy costs, adjusted operating profit increased for the second quarter and year-to-date periods, with adjusted operating margin increasing 370 basis points to 22.7% (150 basis points to 19.8% year-to-date).

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS




Revenue
Total revenue for the Supply Chain & Freight segment increased $287 million in the second quarter ($262 million year-to-date).
Forwarding revenue in the second quarter increased due to higher market rates and capacity surcharges in our international air freight forwarding business attributable to increased volume on Asia-outbound lanes. This volume growth was driven by shipments of personal protective equipment and other supplies related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The increase more than offset both quarter- and year-to-date declines in our North American air freight and ocean freight forwarding businesses that continue to be impacted by the overall decline in demand resulting from economic uncertainty driven by COVID-19 and ongoing global trade tensions. In addition, our truckload brokerage business experienced a decline in revenue due to market pricing pressures in both the quarter and year-to-date periods.
Logistics revenue increased in our mail services business in the second quarter due to e-commerce growth driven by COVID-19, which also drove a favorable shift in product mix. In addition, the healthcare sector experienced revenue growth for the quarter and year-to-date periods, partly resulting from increased demand for healthcare logistics and distribution solutions in response to COVID-19. Revenue from most other sectors declined due to the economic impacts of the pandemic on customer demand.
UPS Freight revenue decreased as a result of volume and tonnage declines in our LTL product which were driven by reduced demand in the freight market, particularly early in the quarter. Fuel surcharge revenue decreased in the second quarter as a result of lower diesel fuel prices. On a year-to-date basis, volume declines in our LTL and truckload products contributed to the decline in revenue. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in LTL revenue per hundredweight, largely due to base rate increases that took effect in March 2020.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses for the Supply Chain & Freight segment, and operating expenses excluding the year over year impact of transformation strategy costs, increased in the second quarter and year-to-date periods.
Forwarding operating expenses increased $241 million in the second quarter ($236 million year-to-date). Purchased transportation expense increased $244 million in the quarter ($260 million year-to-date), as market rate increases in our international air freight forwarding business outpaced the overall declines in tonnage and volume. For the quarter and year-to-date periods, these increases were slightly offset by the impact of cost management initiatives that were implemented in response to lower volume.
Logistics operating expenses increased $146 million ($148 million year-to-date), driven by higher purchased transportation expense in the second quarter for mail services as a result of volume growth and carrier rate increases, as well as volume growth in the healthcare sector.
UPS Freight operating expenses decreased $96 million in the second quarter ($82 million year-to-date), largely due to lower costs associated with operating our linehaul network ($46 and $47 million year-to-date) and lower pickup and delivery costs ($43 and $38 million year-to-date). These reductions were driven by the declines in tonnage and volume resulting from the impact of COVID-19 on the freight market, as well as cost management initiatives and production improvements implemented in response to market conditions. On a year-to-date basis, expense was impacted by increases in reserves for self-insured automobile liability claims.
Operating Profit and Margin
As a result of the factors described above, operating profit for the Supply Chain & Freight segment decreased $13 million in the second quarter ($56 million year-to-date). Excluding the year over year impact of transformation strategy costs, adjusted operating profit decreased $6 million in the second quarter ($59 million year-to-date).

Compensation and Benefits
Total compensation and benefits, and total compensation and benefits excluding the year over year impact of transformation strategy costs, increased in the second quarter and year-to-date periods.
Total compensation costs increased $843 million or 15.2% ($1.2 billion or 10.8% year-to-date). Excluding the year over year impact of transformation strategy costs, adjusted total compensation costs increased $838 million ($1.2 billion year-to-date), driven by higher U.S. Domestic direct labor costs as a result of growth in average daily volume. This volume growth drove additional headcount and an increase in average daily union hours of 22.7% (15.7% year-to-date). Contractual union wage increases also contributed to the increase in compensation costs for hourly employees. Compensation costs for management employees increased primarily due to salary increases and growth in the overall size of the workforce.

Benefits costs increased $701 million or 18.7% ($1.1 billion or 14.8% year-to-date). Excluding the year over year impact of transformation strategy costs, adjusted benefits costs increased $627 million ($1.1 billion year-to-date):
Health and welfare costs increased $147 million ($312 million year-to-date), driven by increased contributions to multiemployer plans due to an overall increase in the size of the workforce, contractual rate increases and changes in eligibility for certain union employees.
Pension and other postretirement benefits costs increased $193 million ($351 million year-to-date) due to higher service cost for company-sponsored plans, primarily driven by a reduction in discount rates, increased contributions to multiemployer plans due to contractually-mandated contribution increases and an overall increase in the size of the workforce.
Vacation, excused absence, payroll taxes and other costs increased $159 million ($244 million year-to-date), primarily driven by salary increases, growth in the overall size of the workforce and additional incentives for certain full-time employees.
Workers' compensation costs increased $128 million ($238 million year-to-date) driven by an increase in overall hours worked, wage and medical inflation and unfavorable claims trends. We evaluate the total potential range of actuarial outcomes when estimating losses that will ultimately be incurred. See note 1 to the audited, consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, for a further description of this policy.
Repairs and Maintenance
The increase in repairs and maintenance expense in the quarter and year-to-date periods was driven by additional aircraft engine maintenance events, as well as an increase in routine repairs to buildings and facilities and maintenance of our other transportation equipment.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased in the quarter and year-to-date periods as a result of the additional investments in facility automation and capacity expansion projects, increases in the size of our vehicle and aircraft fleets and investments in internally developed software.
Purchased Transportation
The overall increase in purchased transportation expense in the quarter and year-to-date periods charged to us by third-party carriers was primarily driven by the following:
U.S. Domestic Package expense increased $393 million ($408 million year-to-date) driven by an increase in SurePost volume that drove higher utilization of third-party transportation carriers. Volume growth in our other products also resulted in additional third-party transportation expense.
Forwarding and Logistics expense increased $330 million ($345 million year-to-date), primarily due to increased market rates in our international air freight business, as well as volume increases in our mail services business. This was partially offset by a reduction in truckload brokerage expense resulting from declines in market rates.
International Package expense increased $81 million ($57 million year-to-date) primarily due to volume increases in Asia that drove higher pickup and delivery cost.
UPS Freight expense decreased $44 million ($45 million year-to-date) primarily due to a decline in LTL shipments which resulted in lower carrier miles, as well as declines in fuel surcharges passed on to us.
Other purchased transportation expense decreased $44 million ($84 million year-to-date) due to changes in the number of leased and chartered aircraft.
Fuel
The decrease in fuel expense in the quarter and year-to-date periods was driven by lower jet fuel, diesel and gasoline prices, as well as alternative fuel tax credits arising from legislation passed in the fourth quarter of 2019. These decreases were partially offset by higher consumption due to increases in aircraft block hours and miles driven as a result of increased volume.

Other Occupancy
Other occupancy expense, and other occupancy expense excluding the year over year impact of transformation strategy costs, increased in the quarter and year-to-date periods primarily due to additional operating facilities coming into service.
Other Expenses
Other expenses, and other expenses excluding the year over year impact of transformation strategy costs, increased in the quarter and year-to-date periods as a result of the following items:
Purchases of cleaning and other safety supplies primarily related to COVID-19 of $66 million in the second quarter and year-to-date periods.
Reserves for uncertain tax positions and legal contingencies of $66 million in the second quarter ($56 million year-to-date).
Self-insured automobile liability claims of $21 million in the second quarter ($130 million year-to-date) increased primarily as a result of higher average daily miles driven in our U.S. Domestic business.
Allowances for credit losses and other bad debt expense, primarily driven by the economic impact of COVID-19, increased $16 million in the second quarter as compared to the prior year ($48 million year-to-date).
Other items, including transportation equipment expenses, outside professional fees and information technology and communications costs.

Investment Income and Other
The increase in investment income and other for the second quarter and year-to-date periods was primarily due to an increase in other pension income, which is comprised of expected returns on pension assets net of interest cost on projected benefit obligations. Expected returns on pension assets increased as a result of a higher asset base due to positive asset returns in 2019 and discretionary contributions. Pension interest cost decreased due to the impact of lower year end discount rates that was partially offset by ongoing plan growth and an increase in projected benefit obligations as a result of the year end measurement of our plans. Investment income decreased due to lower yields on invested assets and impairments of certain investments, partially offset by foreign currency gains.
Interest Expense
The increase in interest expense for the second quarter and year-to-date periods was primarily due to additional interest expense from debt issuances since the first quarter of 2019, partially offset by lower effective interest rates on floating rate debt and commercial paper balances.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2020, we had $9.2 billion in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. We believe that these positions, expected cash from operations, access to commercial paper programs and capital markets financing and other available liquidity options will be adequate to fund our operating requirements, planned capital expenditures and pension contributions, transformation strategy costs, debt obligations and planned shareowner returns. We regularly evaluate opportunities to optimize our capital structure, including through issuances of debt to refinance existing debt and to fund ongoing needs.
As previously disclosed and described below, as a result of the ongoing economic uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic, we intend to defer certain components of our previously announced capital expenditure program beyond 2020, and have suspended share repurchases under our stock repurchase program.

Net cash from operating activities increased $1.7 billion year-to-date. The following factors contributed to the change in net cash from operating activities:
We made year-to-date contributions to our company-sponsored pension and U.S. postretirement medical benefit plans totaling $263 million during 2020 as compared to $1.1 billion in 2019. There have been no discretionary contributions to our qualified, company-sponsored U.S. pension plans during 2020 ($1.0 billion year-to-date in 2019).
The net hedge margin collateral received from our derivative counterparties increased by $5 million year-to-date due to the change in net fair value of derivative contracts used in our currency and interest rate hedging programs.
Cash received in respect of income taxes increased, primarily due to the timing of income tax payments.
Favorable changes in our working capital, largely driven by changes in incentive compensation plan payouts and other compensation-related items. These included deferral of approximately $370 million of employer payroll taxes under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act that was signed into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act includes, among other things, provisions relating to deferral of the employer portion of certain payroll taxes, temporary suspension of federal excise taxes on the transportation of property by air and on commercial purchases of jet aviation fuel and deferral of federal income tax payments. We anticipate that the various provisions of the CARES Act will provide a temporary cash flow benefit in the current year of approximately $1.0 billion. Working capital also benefited from changes in the timing of interest payments on outstanding debt.

As of June 30, 2020, our total worldwide holdings of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $9.2 billion, of which approximately $2.7 billion was held by foreign subsidiaries. The amount of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities held by our U.S. and foreign subsidiaries fluctuates throughout the year due to a variety of factors, including the timing of cash receipts and disbursements in the normal course of business. Cash provided by operating activities in the U.S. continues to be our primary source of funds to finance domestic operating needs, capital expenditures and shareowner returns, including dividend payments. All cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities held by foreign subsidiaries are generally available for distribution to the U.S. without any U.S. federal income taxes. Any such distributions may be subject to foreign withholding and U.S. state taxes. When amounts earned by foreign subsidiaries are expected to be indefinitely reinvested, no accrual for taxes is provided.

We have commitments for the purchase of aircraft, vehicles, equipment and real estate to provide for the replacement of existing capacity and anticipated future growth. Future capital spending for anticipated growth and replacement assets will depend on a variety of factors, including economic and industry conditions. Our current investment program includes investments in buildings, facilities and plant equipment. In the first quarter, we announced a reduction in our forecasted capital expenditures for the year of $1.0 billion through deferring certain facility projects and vehicle purchases to future years. We currently anticipate that our capital expenditures will be approximately $5.6 billion in 2020.
Year-to-date capital expenditures on buildings, facilities and plant equipment decreased in our U.S. and international package businesses, largely due to the timing of payments and postponement of certain facility automation and capacity expansion projects. Capital spending on aircraft decreased due to reductions in contract deposits on open aircraft orders and final payments associated with the delivery of aircraft. Capital spending on vehicles decreased due to the timing of vehicle replacement projects and changes in vendor payment terms.
The net change in finance receivables was primarily due to growth in our finance portfolios. Purchases and sales of marketable securities are largely determined by liquidity needs and the periodic rebalancing of investment types, and will fluctuate from period to period.
There was no cash paid for business acquisitions year-to-date. Cash paid for business acquisitions in 2019 related to our acquisition of area franchise rights for The UPS Store. Other investing activities are impacted by changes in our non-current investments, changes in purchase contract deposits for buildings and various other items.

Total capitalization$31,324  $27,802  
Debt to Total Capitalization %86.0 %84.1 %
We repurchased a total of 2.1 million shares of class A and class B common stock for $217 million year-to-date and 4.8 million shares for $502 million in the prior year-to-date period ($231 and $503 million in repurchases for 2020 and 2019, respectively, are reported on the statement of cash flows due to timing of settlements). All of the share repurchases in 2020 occurred in the three months ended March 31, 2020. As previously disclosed, we have suspended share repurchases under our stock repurchase program. For additional information on our share repurchase activities, see note 12 to the unaudited, consolidated financial statements included in this report.
The declaration of dividends is subject to the discretion of the Board and will depend on various factors, including our net income, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects and other relevant factors. We increased our quarterly cash dividend payment to $1.01 per share in 2020, compared to $0.96 in 2019. We expect to continue paying regular cash dividends.
Issuances of debt year-to-date consisted primarily of fixed-rate senior notes of varying maturities totaling $3.5 billion, as well as borrowings under our commercial paper program. These issuances more than satisfy our debt repayment obligations for 2020. Repayments of debt for the year-to-date period included fixed-rate senior notes totaling $424 million, commercial paper and scheduled principal payments on our finance lease obligations. Year-to-date issuances of debt in 2019 consisted primarily of fixed-rate senior notes totaling $1.5 billion. Repayments included fixed-rate senior notes totaling $1.0 billion, commercial paper and scheduled principal payments on our finance lease obligations. We consider the overall fixed and floating interest rate mix of our portfolio and the related overall cost of borrowing when planning for future issuances and non-scheduled repayments of debt.

The amount of commercial paper outstanding fluctuates throughout the year based on daily liquidity needs. The following is a summary of our commercial paper program (in millions):
Functional currency outstanding balance at quarter-endOutstanding balance at quarter-end ($)Average balance outstandingAverage balance outstanding ($)Average interest rate

USD$1,652  $1,652  $1,998  $1,998  1.05 %
EUR228  $256  652  $719  (0.42)%
Total$1,908  
Cash outflows for other financing activities were impacted by several factors. Cash outflows related to the repurchase of shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations on vested employee stock awards were $323 and $173 million for the year-to-date periods of 2020 and 2019, respectively. This increase was driven by changes in the vesting schedule for certain of our awards.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk from changes in certain commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices. All of these market risks arise in the normal course of business, as we do not engage in speculative trading activities. In order to manage the risk arising from these exposures, we utilize a variety of commodity, foreign exchange and interest rate forward contracts, options and swaps. A discussion of our accounting policies for derivative instruments and further disclosures are provided in note 15 to the unaudited, consolidated financial statements.
The total net fair value asset (liability) of our derivative financial instruments is summarized in the following table (in millions):
June 30, 2020December 31, 2019
Currency Derivatives$503  $374  
Interest Rate Derivatives47  21  
$550  $395  
As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had no outstanding commodity hedge positions.
Our market risks, hedging strategies and financial instrument positions at June 30, 2020 have not materially changed from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. In 2020, we entered into several foreign exchange forward contracts on the Euro, British Pound Sterling, Canadian Dollar and Hong Kong Dollar, and had forward contracts expire. The remaining fair value changes between December 31, 2019 and June 30, 2020 in the preceding table are primarily due to interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations between those dates.
The foreign exchange forward contracts, swaps and options previously discussed contain an element of risk that the counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements; however, we minimize such risk exposures for these instruments by limiting the counterparties to banks and financial institutions that meet established credit guidelines and by monitoring counterparty credit risk to prevent concentrations of credit risk with any single counterparty.
We have agreements with all of our active counterparties (covering the majority of our derivative positions) containing early termination rights and/or zero threshold bilateral collateral provisions whereby cash is required based on the net fair value of derivatives associated with those counterparties. Events such as a credit rating downgrade (depending on the ultimate rating level) could also allow us to take additional protective measures such as the early termination of trades. Under these agreements, we held cash collateral of $623 million and were not required to post any cash collateral with our counterparties as of June 30, 2020.
We have not historically incurred, and do not expect to incur in the future, any losses as a result of counterparty default.
The information concerning market risk in Item 7A under the caption “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 is hereby incorporated by reference.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon, and as of the date of, the evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms; and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow their timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. We have not experienced any material impact to our internal controls over financial reporting despite the fact that more of our employees are working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing the effects of the COVID-19 situation on our internal controls to minimize the impact on their design and operating effectiveness.
