Cautionary Statement About Forward-Looking Statements
This report, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission contain and in the future may contain "forward-looking statements." Statements other than those of current or historical fact, and all statements accompanied by terms such as "will," "believe," "project," "expect," "estimate," "assume," "intend," "anticipate," "target," "plan," and similar terms, are intended to be forward-looking statements.
From time to time, we also include written or oral forward-looking statements in other publicly disclosed materials. Such statements may relate to our intent, belief, forecasts of, or current expectations about our strategic direction, prospects, future results, or 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 and the future, by its very nature, cannot be predicted with certainty.
Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or anticipated results. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: changes in general economic conditions in the U.S. or internationally, including as a result of changes in global trade policy and new or increased tariffs; significant competition on a local, regional, national and international basis; changes in our relationships with our significant customers; our ability to attract and retain qualified employees; strikes, work stoppages or slowdowns by our employees; increased or more complex physical or operational security requirements; a significant cybersecurity incident, or increased data protection regulations; our ability to maintain our brand image and corporate reputation; impacts from global climate change; interruptions in or impacts on our business from natural or man-made events or disasters including terrorist attacks, epidemics or pandemics; exposure to changing economic, political, regulatory and social developments in international and emerging markets; our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures or strategic alliances; the effects of changing prices of energy, including gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and other fuels, and interruptions in supplies of these commodities; changes in exchange rates or interest rates; our ability to accurately forecast our future capital investment needs; increases in our expenses or funding obligations relating to employee health, retiree health and/or pension benefits; our ability to manage insurance and claims expenses; changes in business strategy, government regulations or economic or market conditions that may result in impairments of our assets; potential additional U.S. or international tax liabilities; increasingly stringent regulations related to climate change; potential claims or litigation related to labor and employment, personal injury, property damage, business practices, environmental liability and other matters; 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, 2024 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 predictions 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.
The Company routinely posts important information, including news releases, announcements, materials provided or displayed at analyst or investor conferences, and other statements about its business and results of operations, that may be deemed material to investors on the Company’s Investors Relations website at www.investors.ups.com. The Company uses its website as a means of disclosing material, nonpublic information and for complying with the Company’s disclosure obligations under Regulation FD. Investors should monitor the Company’s Investor Relations website in addition to following the Company’s press releases, filings with the SEC, public conference calls and webcasts. We do not incorporate the contents of any website into this or any other report we file with the SEC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying 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 unaudited, consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 30, 2025, and our results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. The results reported in these 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 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, 2024.
Throughout the document, the terms "six months ended", "year-to-date period" and "first half" refer to the six months ended June 30.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, finance receivables and accounts payable approximated fair value as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The fair values of our marketable 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 apply a fair value hierarchy (Levels 1, 2 and 3) when measuring and reporting items at fair value. Fair values are based on listed market prices (Level 1), when such prices are available. To the extent that listed market prices are not available, fair value is determined based on other relevant factors, including dealer price quotations (Level 2). If listed market prices or other relevant factors are not available, inputs are developed from unobservable data reflecting our own assumptions and include situations where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability (Level 3).
Certain investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value are measured at net asset value ("NAV") using NAV as a practical expedient, or an equivalent developed consistent with the measurement principles in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820. Assets that are measured using NAV as a practical expedient are excluded from the fair value hierarchy. For further discussion on these investments, see note 1 to the audited, consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying 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. As a result, our accounting estimates and assumptions may change significantly over time.
Supplier Finance Programs
As part of our working capital management, certain financial institutions offer a Supply Chain Finance ("SCF") program to certain of our suppliers. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, there were no material changes to the SCF program described in note 1 to the audited, consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Amounts due to our suppliers that participate in the SCF program are included in Accounts payable in our consolidated balance sheets. We have been informed by the participating financial institutions that as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, suppliers sold them $402 and $515 million, respectively, of our outstanding payment obligations.

NOTE 2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Accounting pronouncements adopted during the periods covered by the unaudited, consolidated financial statements did not have a material impact in our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or internal controls.
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") to enhance tax-related disclosures. The ASU became effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2025 and, beginning with our annual reporting, it will require more standardized categories for tax rate reconciliation and additional detail for significant tax items. It also requires a breakdown of income taxes paid by jurisdiction exceeding 5% of total taxes and removes certain disclosure requirements for unremitted foreign earnings and uncertain tax positions. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact in our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or internal controls.
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective
In November 2024, the FASB issued an ASU on expense disaggregation disclosures, which will require tabular disclosure in the notes to financial statements for specific expense categories. The standard becomes effective for us beginning with our 2027 annual report and for interim and annual periods thereafter. This ASU provides for additional expense disclosures. We are evaluating the impact to the presentation of consolidated income statements, disclosures and internal controls and do not expect this ASU to have a significant impact in our consolidated financial position or cash flows.
Other accounting pronouncements issued before, but not effective until after, June 30, 2025, are not expected to have a material impact in our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or internal controls.

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"). These services may be carried out by or arranged by us and generally occur over a short period of time. Additionally, we provide value-added logistics services to customers through our global network of distribution centers and field stocking locations.
The vast majority of our contracts with customers are for transportation services that include only one performance obligation: the transportation services themselves. We generally recognize revenue over time, based on the extent of progress towards completion of the services in the contract. All of our major businesses act as a principal in their revenue arrangements and as such, we report revenue and the associated purchased transportation costs on a gross basis within our statements of consolidated income.

NOTE 4. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Pre-tax compensation expense (benefit) for equity-classified stock compensation awards recognized in Compensation and benefits in our statements of consolidated income for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $(5) and $30 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 was $16 and $3 million, respectively.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, UPS Management Incentive Award Program ("MIP") awards were classified as a compensation obligation within Accrued wages and withholdings in our consolidated balance sheets. Substantially all MIP awards are settled in cash, subject to participant elections. Cash payments related to the 2024 MIP and 2023 MIP are reflected as activity in Accrued wages and withholdings in our statements of consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, there were no material changes to our stock-based compensation plans described in note 13 to the audited, consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, except as described below.
Long-Term Incentive Performance Program ("LTIP")
On May 7, 2025, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee of the Board (the "Compensation Committee") approved the 2025 LTIP award performance targets and determined May 9, 2025 to be the award measurement date. Each target RPU awarded was valued at $94.07. The performance targets for the 2025 LTIP award are equally weighted between adjusted revenue growth and non-GAAP adjusted operating return on invested capital. The final number of RPUs earned will then be subject to adjustment based on total shareholder return relative to the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. Restricted performance units ("RPUs") that will be issued under the 2025 LTIP vest at the end of a three-year performance period, assuming continued employment with the Company (except in the case of death, disability or retirement, in which case immediate vesting occurs on a prorated basis). We determined the grant date fair value of the RPUs 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.
The weighted-average assumptions used and the weighted-average fair values of the LTIP awards granted in 2025 and 2024 are as follows: | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| 2025 | | 2024 | |
Risk-free interest rate | 3.86 | % | | 4.43 | % | |
Expected volatility | 28.39 | % | | 27.02 | % | |
Weighted-average fair value of units granted | $ | 94.52 | | | $ | 156.73 | | |
Share payout | 98.13 | % | | 101.92 | % | |
There is no expected dividend yield as units earn dividend equivalents.
Restricted Units
On May 7, 2025, the Compensation Committee approved 0.4 million special awards of time-based restricted stock units ("RSUs") for certain of the Company’s employees, excluding the Chief Executive Officer. We determined the May 9, 2025 grant date fair value using the closing New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") price of $95.89. The RSUs will generally vest as follows: 25% on May 9, 2026; 25% on May 9, 2027; and 50% on May 9, 2028. The awards issued under these programs are considered to be equity classified.

Non-Qualified Stock Options
On May 9, 2025, we granted 0.3 million stock options at an exercise price of $95.89, the NYSE closing price on that date.
The fair value of each option granted is estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted-average assumptions used and the weighted-average fair values of options granted in 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

Investment Impairments
We have concluded that no material impairment losses existed within marketable securities as of June 30, 2025. In making this determination, we considered the financial condition and prospects of each issuer, the magnitude of the losses compared with the cost, the probability that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the security, the credit rating of the security and our ability and intent to hold these investments until the anticipated recovery in market value occurs.

In connection with our strategic execution of planned volume declines from our largest customer, we began our Network Reconfiguration initiative, which is an expansion of Network of the Future and will lead to a reduction in the number of buildings, vehicles and aircraft in our network. As of June 30, 2025, we have incurred $37 million in accelerated depreciation and asset retirement obligations related to closed facilities and abandoned equipment. We are continuing to evaluate our network and it is reasonably possible that these plans will result in revisions to our estimates of the useful lives and salvage values of certain of our long-lived assets. Any revision to these plans could further accelerate depreciation expense and lead to the recognition of additional charges related to early retirements in future periods.

Our Network of the Future initiative is intended to enhance our efficiency through automation and operational sort consolidation in our U.S. Domestic network. In connection with our strategic execution of planned volume declines from our largest customer, we began our Network Reconfiguration initiative, which is an expansion of Network of the Future. In connection therewith, during the first half of 2025 we closed daily operations at 74 leased and owned buildings, 68 of which have been permanently closed. We continue to evaluate expected changes in volume and may identify additional buildings for closure, which we expect would result in further reductions in our operational workforce. In addition, in July 2025, we offered a voluntary separation program to all full-time drivers in the United States. At this time we are unable to estimate the full impact of this program in our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, we expect to incur costs associated with contractual termination benefits and certain U.S. pension and postretirement benefit plan obligations and assets may be subject to remeasurement at an interim date. We are not yet able to estimate the timing and will continue to monitor the impact of these uncertainties on our projected benefit obligation in accordance with ASC Topic 715. For additional information, see note 17 to the unaudited, consolidated financial statements.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we contributed $765 and $156 million to our company-sponsored pension and U.S. postretirement medical benefit plans, respectively.

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 contribution rates to the plans that we participate in, and we are in compliance with these contribution rates.

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $799 and $804 million, respectively, recorded in Other Non-Current Liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets and $9 million as of both June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 recorded in Other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets associated with our previous withdrawal from the New England Teamsters and Trucking Industry Pension Fund. This liability is payable in equal monthly installments over a remaining term of approximately 37 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, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $654 and $651 million, respectively. We utilized Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy of valuation techniques to determine the fair value of this liability.
As of December 31, 2024, we had $19 million recorded in Other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets associated with our 2024 withdrawal from the District 9 International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Pension Trust. The withdrawal liability was settled on April 1, 2025.
UPS was a contributing employer to the Central States Pension Fund ("CSPF") until 2007, at which time UPS withdrew from the CSPF. Under a collective bargaining agreement with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters ("Teamsters"), 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 reduced by the CSPF consistent with the terms of our withdrawal agreement with the CSPF. Under this agreement, benefits to the UPS Transfer Group cannot be reduced without our consent and can only be reduced in accordance with law.
In the event CSPF were to become insolvent, CSPF benefits would be reduced to the legally permitted Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation limits, triggering the coordinating benefits provision in the collective bargaining agreement.
We account for the potential obligation to pay coordinating benefits under ASC Topic 715, which requires us to provide a best estimate of various actuarial assumptions in measuring our pension benefit obligation at the December 31 measurement date. As of December 31, 2024, our best estimate of coordinating benefits that may be required to be paid by the UPS/IBT Plan was immaterial.
The value of our estimate for future coordinating benefits will continue to be influenced by a number of factors, including interpretations of law, future legislative actions, actuarial assumptions and the ability of the CSPF to sustain its long-term commitments. Actual events may result in a change in our best estimate of the projected benefit obligation. We will continue to assess the impact of these uncertainties in accordance with ASC Topic 715.
Collective Bargaining Agreements
We have approximately 300,000 employees in the U.S. employed under a national master agreement and various supplemental agreements with local unions affiliated with the Teamsters which runs through July 31, 2028.
We have approximately 11,000 employees in Canada employed under a collective bargaining agreement with the Teamsters ("Teamsters Canada") that expired July 31, 2025. Since May 2025, the Company and Teamsters Canada have been negotiating in good faith for the terms of a new agreement. Following these negotiations, Teamsters Canada will submit the Company’s offer for a new agreement to an employee ratification vote. In the event the new agreement is not ratified, there will be an opportunity to continue the negotiation process. No assurances can be provided as to the timing of the ratification of a new agreement or whether a failed ratification vote would result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
We have approximately 3,300 pilots who are employed under a collective bargaining agreement with the Independent Pilots Association. This collective bargaining agreement becomes amendable September 1, 2025.
We have approximately 1,900 airline mechanics who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement with Teamsters Local 2727 which becomes amendable November 1, 2026. In addition, approximately 3,000 of our auto and maintenance mechanics who are not employed under agreements with the Teamsters are employed under a collective bargaining agreement with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. This collective bargaining agreement becomes amendable July 31, 2029.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025:
•We recorded an increase in goodwill of $339 million as a part of the purchase accounting allocation for our January 2025 acquisition of Frigo-Trans and Biotech & Pharma Logistics ("Frigo-Trans").
•The remaining changes were due to the impact of changes in the value of the U.S. Dollar on the translation of non-U.S. Dollar goodwill balances.
Frigo-Trans is reported in Supply Chain Solutions as part of our Healthcare Logistics and Distribution ("HLD") reporting unit.
For each of our reporting units, we continue to monitor the impact of macroeconomic conditions and business performance on our estimates of fair value. We completed our annual goodwill impairment evaluation as of July 1, 2024 on a reporting unit basis. As of June 30, 2025, none of our reporting units had indications that an impairment was more likely than not. Approximately $1.2 billion of our consolidated goodwill balance of $4.8 billion is represented by our Global Freight Forwarding, Roadie and Global Logistics and Distribution reporting units which, based on our most recent annual impairment evaluation, are exhibiting a limited excess of fair value above carrying value and reflect a greater risk of an impairment occurring in future periods.
During the first quarter of 2025, our Mail Innovations reporting unit experienced cost increases higher than our expectations due to increases in purchased transportation rates, resulting from the expiration of a contract with our primary vendor. These cost increases began to dissipate in the second quarter as we started utilizing alternative vendors. In the second quarter of 2025, we also took action to address the revenue quality in this business, and experienced improvements therein. Depending on the outcome of these actions, our expectations for the future performance of this reporting unit could be materially affected. Approximately $295 million in goodwill is represented by our Mail Innovations reporting unit included in Supply Chain Solutions.
Actual reporting unit performance, revisions to our forecasts of future performance, market factors, changes in global trade policy, changes in estimates or assumptions in future impairment testing, or a combination thereof could result in an impairment charge in one or more of our reporting units during a future period.

Impairment tests for finite-lived intangible assets are performed when a triggering event occurs that may indicate that the carrying value of the intangible asset may not be recoverable. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, there were no material impairment charges for finite-lived intangible assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we recorded impairment charges of $33 million ($25 million after tax) within Other Expenses in our statement of consolidated income. These charges primarily consisted of software impairment charges related to a business within UPS Digital.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded impairment charges of $48 million ($35 million after tax) within Other Expenses in our statement of consolidated income. These charges represented trade name and capitalized software license impairments.

Debt Classification
We have classified certain floating-rate senior notes that are redeemable at the option of the note holder as long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets, due to our intent and ability to refinance the debt if the put option is exercised.
Debt Repayments
On April 1, 2025, our 3.900% Senior Notes with a principal balance of $1.0 billion matured and were repaid in full.
Debt Issuances
On May 14, 2025, we issued four series of notes in the principal amounts of $500 million, $1.3 billion, $1.3 billion and $1.0 billion. These notes bear interest at 4.650%, 5.250%, 5.950% and 6.050%, respectively, and mature on October 15, 2030, May 14, 2035, May 14, 2055 and May 14, 2065, respectively. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually, beginning October 15, 2025 with respect to the 4.650% notes due October 15, 2030 and November 14, 2025 with respect to each other series of notes. 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.
On May 20, 2025, we issued floating rate senior notes with a principal balance of $171 million. These notes bear interest at a rate equal to the compounded Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") less 0.350% per year and mature on June 1, 2075. Interest on the notes is payable quarterly, beginning September 1, 2025. These notes are callable at various times after 30 years at a stated percentage of par value and are redeemable at the option of the note holders at various times after one year at a stated percentage of par value.
Other Arrangements
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we entered into 14 new aircraft leases. The structure of this arrangement required a parent company guarantee of approximately $980 million. For additional information, see note 10 to the unaudited, consolidated financial statements.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we entered into a real estate transaction for the development of a facility and recognized a financing obligation included in Other Non-Current Liabilities of $54 million. The financing liability will increase as construction progresses.
Sources of Credit
We maintain two credit agreements with a consortium of banks. The first of these agreements provides revolving credit facilities of $1.0 billion, and expires on November 24, 2025. Amounts outstanding under this agreement bear interest at a periodic fixed rate equal to the term SOFR rate, plus 0.10% per annum and an applicable margin based on our then-current credit rating. The applicable margin from the credit pricing grid as of June 30, 2025 was 0.70%. 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%; or (3) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%, may be used at our discretion.
The second agreement provides revolving credit facilities of $2.0 billion, and expires on November 25, 2029. Amounts outstanding under this facility bear interest at a periodic fixed rate equal to the term SOFR rate plus 0.10% per annum and an applicable margin based on our then-current credit rating. The applicable margin from the credit pricing grid as of June 30, 2025 was 0.70%. 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%; or (3) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%, plus an applicable margin, may be used at our discretion.
If the credit ratings established by Standard & Poor's and Moody's differ, the higher rating will be used, except in cases where the lower rating is two or more levels lower. In these circumstances, the rating one step below the higher rating will be used. We are also able to request advances under these facilities based on competitive bids for the applicable interest rate.
There were no amounts outstanding under these facilities as of June 30, 2025.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Debt Covenants
Our existing debt instruments and credit facilities subject us to certain financial covenants. As of June 30, 2025, and for all prior 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, 2025, 10% of net tangible assets was equivalent to $4.8 billion and we had $39 million in covered sale-leaseback transactions and no secured indebtedness (as defined in the applicable agreements) outstanding. We do not expect these covenants to have a material impact on our liquidity.
Fair Value of Debt
Based on the borrowing rates currently available to us for long-term debt with similar terms and maturities, the fair value of long-term debt, including current maturities, was approximately $24.0 and $20.3 billion as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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.

NOTE 10. LEASES
We have finance and operating leases for real estate (primarily package centers, airport facilities and warehouses), aircraft and engines, information technology equipment, 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.
We recognize a right-of-use asset and lease obligation for all leases greater than twelve months, inclusive of renewal or purchase options that are reasonably certain to be exercised. In the first half of 2025, we entered into a sale-leaseback transaction involving a new lease asset class, data centers, and elected to account for the lease and non-lease components separately. For all other lease arrangements, we account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.
Aircraft
In addition to the aircraft that we own, 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. A majority 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.
We also have long-term finance leases for aircraft that we operate. In the second quarter 2025, we entered into fourteen new aircraft leases, two of which commenced upon delivery during the second quarter of 2025 and are accounted for as finance leases. We expect the remaining leases to also be accounted for as finance leases. These transactions represent $117 million of noncash investing and financing activities.
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. We also enter into equipment leases to increase capacity during periods of high demand. These leases are treated as short-term as the cumulative right of use is less than 12 months over the term of the contract.
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 right-of-use lease asset and associated lease obligation.
The components of lease expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows (in millions): | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

In addition to the lease costs in the table above, we monitor all lease categories for any indicators that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. We recognized certain immaterial impairments, primarily within our Supply Chain Solutions businesses, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. There were no impairments recognized during the three or six months ended June 30, 2024.

As of June 30, 2025, we had $1.5 billion of additional leases which had not commenced and are expected to commence later in 2025 through 2027. These leases primarily related to aircraft that will commence when delivered. Other leases will commence when we are granted access to the property, such as when leasehold improvements are completed or a certificate of occupancy is obtained.

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 assurances as to the ultimate outcome, we have generally denied, or believe we have meritorious defenses and will deny, liability in pending matters, including (except as may be otherwise noted herein) the matters described below, and we intend to vigorously defend each matter. We accrue amounts associated with judicial proceedings and other contingencies 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 these matters, we have described the reasons that we are unable to estimate a possible loss or range of losses.
Judicial Proceedings
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. We do not believe that any loss associated with any such matter will have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
In July 2023, Baker v. United Parcel Service, Inc. (DE) and United Parcel Service, Inc. (OH) was certified as a class action in federal court in the Eastern District of Washington. The plaintiff in this matter alleges that UPS violated the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act. We are vigorously defending ourselves in this matter and believe that we have a number of meritorious defenses, and there are unresolved questions of law and fact that could be important to the ultimate resolution of this matter. Accordingly, we are not able to estimate a possible loss or range of loss that may result from this matter or to determine whether such loss, if any, would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Other Matters
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, we received a Statement of Objections issued by the CNMC. In July 2017, we received a Proposed Decision from the CNMC. In March 2018, the CNMC adopted a final decision, finding an infringement and imposing an immaterial fine on UPS. We appealed the decision. In December 2022, a trial court ruled against us. We have filed an appeal before the Spanish Supreme Court. We are vigorously defending ourselves and believe that we have a number of meritorious defenses. There are also unresolved questions of law that could be important to the ultimate resolution of this matter. We do not believe that any loss from this matter would have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
The Company previously received a letter from the San Bernardino County District Attorney’s Office, in cooperation with certain other California District Attorneys, notifying the Company of an investigation into alleged violations with respect to the management and disposal of hazardous waste in California. Following discussions with those parties, the Company settled this matter for an immaterial amount and without admitting or denying the accusations.
We are a party to various other matters that arose in the normal course of business. These include disputes with government authorities in various jurisdictions over the imposition of duties, fines, taxes and assessments from time to time. We are vigorously defending ourselves and believe that we have a number of meritorious defenses in these disputes. There are also unresolved questions of law that could be important to the ultimate resolution of these disputes. Accordingly, we are not able to estimate a possible loss or range of losses that may result from these disputes or to determine whether such losses, if any, would have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
We do not believe that the eventual resolution of any 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 13. SEGMENT INFORMATION
We have two reportable segments: U.S. Domestic Package and International Package, which are together referred to as our global small package operations. Our remaining businesses are reported as Supply Chain Solutions. Global small 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. Supply Chain Solutions comprises the results of non-reportable operating segments that do not meet the quantitative and qualitative criteria of a reportable segment as defined under ASC Topic 280.
U.S. Domestic Package
U.S. Domestic Package operations include the time-definite delivery of letters, documents and packages throughout the United States.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2024, based on a change in our management reporting structure, we began presenting our U.S. air cargo results within our U.S. Domestic Package segment. This activity was previously reported within Supply Chain Solutions. This change aligns with how our chief operating decision maker reviews operating results to assess performance and allocate resources. Prior periods have been recast to conform to current presentation with no changes to consolidated results.
International Package
International Package operations include delivery to more than 200 countries and territories worldwide, including shipments wholly outside the United States, as well as shipments with either origin or destination outside the United States. International Package includes our operations in Europe, the Indian sub-continent, Middle East and Africa ("EMEAI"), Canada and Latin America (together "Americas") and Asia.
Supply Chain Solutions
Supply Chain Solutions includes our Forwarding, Logistics, digital and other businesses. Our Forwarding and Logistics businesses provide services in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide and include international air and ocean freight forwarding, customs brokerage, mail services, healthcare logistics, distribution and post-sales services. Our digital businesses leverage technology to enable a range of on-demand services such as same-day delivery, end-to-end return services and integrated supply chain and high-value shipment insurance solutions.
Segment information
We consider our Chief Executive Officer to be our chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). The CODM is responsible for setting the Company's strategic direction, managing overall operations, and is the main point of communication between the Board of Directors and key operational personnel within the organization.
The CODM utilizes operating profit as a primary measure of segment performance because it reflects the underlying business performance and provides the CODM with a basis for making resource allocation decisions. Operating profit is defined as income before investment income and other, interest expense and income tax expense.
The CODM regularly reviews segment-level expense details which include compensation, benefits and purchased transportation when assessing operating segment performance. These expense categories represent the primary metrics used by the CODM to assess segment performance. For the Domestic Package segment, compensation and benefits are evaluated separately, whereas for the International Package segment, these categories are assessed in aggregate. Beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2025, purchased transportation expense for the Domestic Package segment was no longer provided to the CODM when assessing the operating segment's performance.
Certain expenses are allocated between the segments using activity-based costing methods. These activity-based costing methods require us to make estimates that impact the amount of each expense category that is attributed to each segment. Changes in these estimates 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 businesses. There were no significant changes to our allocation methodologies in the second quarter of 2025.
As we operate an integrated, global multimodal network, we evaluate many of our capital expenditure decisions at a network level. Accordingly, expenditures on property, plant and equipment by segment are not presented.

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 and we actively monitor these exposures. Where deemed appropriate, to manage the impact of these exposures on earnings and/or cash flows, we may enter into a variety of derivative financial instruments. 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. We seek to minimize such risk exposures for these instruments by limiting the counterparties to banks and financial institutions that meet established credit guidelines. We may further manage credit risk through the use of bilateral collateral provisions and/or early termination rights utilizing master netting arrangements, whereby cash is exchanged based on the net fair value of derivatives associated with each counterparty when positions exceed $250 million.
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we did not hold any cash collateral and no collateral was required to be posted with our counterparties.
Types of Hedges
Commodity Risk Management
The fuel surcharges that we apply in our domestic and international package businesses are our primary means that we employ to reduce 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 services.
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 generally designate and account for these contracts as cash flow hedges of anticipated foreign currency denominated revenue.
We may also hedge portions of our anticipated cash settlements of principal and interest on certain foreign currency denominated debt. We generally designate and account for these contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted foreign currency denominated transactions.
We hedge our net investment in certain foreign operations with foreign currency denominated debt instruments.
Interest Rate Risk Management
We may use a combination of derivative instruments to manage the fixed and floating interest rate mix of our total debt portfolio and related overall cost of borrowing.
We generally designate and account for interest rate swaps that convert fixed-rate interest payments into floating-rate interest payments as fair value hedges of the associated debt instruments. We designate 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.
We may 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.

The following table indicates the location in our consolidated balance sheets where our derivative assets and liabilities have been recognized, the fair value hierarchy level applicable to each derivative type and the related fair values of those derivatives.
We have master netting arrangements with substantially all of our counterparties giving us the right of offset for our derivative positions. However, we have not elected to offset the fair value positions of our derivative contracts recorded in our consolidated balance sheets. The columns labeled Net Amounts if Right of Offset had been Applied indicate the potential net fair value positions by type of contract and location in our consolidated balance sheets had we elected to apply the right of offset as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in millions): | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported in earnings each period. Cash flows from the settlement of derivative instruments appear in our statements of consolidated cash flows within the same categories as the cash flows of the hedged item.
We may periodically terminate interest rate swaps and foreign currency exchange forward contracts or enter into offsetting swap and foreign currency positions with different counterparties. As part of this process, we de-designate our original hedge relationship.

NOTE 16. INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased to 22.8% compared to 24.6% in the same period of 2024 (22.4% year to date compared to 25.9% in 2024). The year-over-year decrease in our effective tax rate in the quarter and year-to-date periods was driven by the valuation allowance release discussed below, prior year share-based compensation shortfalls, prior year unfavorable changes in uncertain tax positions and non-deductible expenses related to regulatory matters that did not recur in the current period.
As of December 31, 2024, we maintained a full valuation allowance of $105 million against our U.S. capital loss deferred tax asset. Each quarter, we assess the available positive and negative evidence to determine whether it is more likely than not that the capital losses will be realized. As of June 30, 2025, we have released $18 million of valuation allowance as a result of net capital gains incurred year to date and expected from the planned building disposals discussed in note 17 to the unaudited, consolidated financial statements. We believe there is a reasonable possibility that within the next 12 months additional positive evidence of capital gain generation may become available that would result in the release of an amount of additional valuation allowance and a corresponding decrease to income tax expense. The exact timing and amount of any valuation release are subject to change as we continue to evaluate our network.
In July 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was signed into law. This legislation includes changes to U.S. federal tax law, which may be subject to further clarification and the issuance of interpretive guidance. We are assessing the legislation and its effect in our consolidated financial statements, which we expect to begin reflecting in our consolidated financial statements in the three months ending September 30, 2025.

NOTE 17. TRANSFORMATION STRATEGY COSTS
As previously disclosed, we are undertaking an enterprise-wide transformation of our organization that includes various projects and initiatives, including workforce reductions and changes in processes and technology, that impact our global direct and indirect operating costs.
The table below presents transformation strategy costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (in millions): | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

After-Tax Transformation Strategy Costs | $ | 57 | | | $ | 21 | | | $ | 101 | | | $ | 56 | |
Compensation and benefit costs under these programs are primarily related to severance costs incurred in conjunction with reductions in our workforce. We are primarily accounting for these separations under ASC Topic 712 as they have been, or will be, carried out under a plan which provides a contractual termination benefit to impacted employees. The nature of our separation initiatives has resulted in a relatively short period of time, typically less than one year, between the point at which the separation meets the criteria for recognition as an accrual and the point at which the separation is completed.
Accruals for separation costs of $57 and $45 million were included in our consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. During the first half of 2025, we made payments of $49 million and accrued additional separation costs of $61 million, including separation costs related to a recently announced voluntary separation program with a separation date as of June 30, 2025 available to certain of our non-union employees. An additional $51 million of separation costs is expected to be incurred for the remaining participants in this voluntary separation program over the employees' remaining term of service through the second quarter of 2026.
Other costs incurred in furtherance of our transformation strategy are primarily related to fees paid to third-party service providers and are not incurred as a result of restructuring, exit or disposal activities and as period costs, do not give rise to restructuring, exit or disposal liabilities.
The income tax effects of transformation strategy costs are calculated by multiplying the amount of the adjustments by the statutory tax rates applicable in each tax jurisdiction.

Transformation 2.0: Based on a number of factors including evaluating efficiencies previously gained, and in connection with changes in 2020, we identified and reprioritized certain then-current and future investments, including additional investments in our workforce, portfolio of businesses and technology (such projects, collectively, "Transformation 2.0"). Specifically, we identified opportunities to reduce spans and layers of management, began a review of our business portfolio and identified opportunities to invest in certain technologies, including financial reporting and certain schedule, time and pay systems, to reduce global indirect operating costs, provide better visibility, and reduce reliance on legacy systems and coding languages. As of June 30, 2025, our remaining efforts under Transformation 2.0 include initiatives related to our financial systems. Previously completed initiatives within Transformation 2.0 are described in note 18 to the audited, consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2025, we have incurred $811 million of costs as part of Transformation 2.0. Transformation 2.0 initiatives are expected to conclude during 2025 with anticipated remaining costs of approximately $75 million primarily related to completion of our technology initiatives. Costs associated with Transformation 2.0 have primarily consisted of compensation and benefit costs related to reductions in our workforce and fees paid to third-party consultants. These technology initiatives are expected to provide enhanced reporting quality for both internal and external purposes in part through simplification and standardization of data to better enable migration into cloud-based tools and automation, including transitioning general ledger, consolidation, and planning tools along with U.S. payroll from older programs and software supporting our freight forwarding business. These efforts are expected to reduce the need for future investments; and we began realizing benefits during the second quarter of 2025.
Fit to Serve: During 2023, we began our "Fit to Serve" initiative, which is intended to right-size our business for the future through a workforce reduction of approximately 14,000 positions and create a more efficient operating model to enhance responsiveness to changing market dynamics. As of June 30, 2025, we have incurred total costs of $444 million and anticipate that we will incur additional costs of approximately $20 million under Fit to Serve. Fit to Serve is expected to conclude in 2025.
Network Reconfiguration and Efficiency Reimagined: As previously disclosed, our Network of the Future initiative is intended to enhance the efficiency of our network through automation and operational sort consolidation in our U.S. Domestic network. In connection with our strategic execution of planned volume declines from our largest customer, we began our Network Reconfiguration initiative, which is an expansion of Network of the Future and has led and will continue to lead to consolidations of our facilities and workforce as well as an end-to-end process redesign. We launched our Efficiency Reimagined initiatives to undertake the end-to-end process redesign effort which will align our organizational processes to the network reconfiguration. In connection therewith, we expect to reduce our operational workforce by approximately 20,000 positions. During the second quarter of 2025, we closed daily operations at 74 leased and owned buildings, 68 of which have been permanently closed. We continue to review expected changes in volume in our integrated air and ground network to identify additional buildings for closure.
UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In connection with the Network Reconfiguration and Efficiency Reimagined programs, we expect to exclude between $400 and $650 million in non-GAAP adjusted expense during 2025, related primarily to third-party consulting fees, employee separation benefits and certain programmatic expenses. We expect the costs associated with these actions may increase should we determine to close additional buildings. In addition, we believe that workforce reductions may require a remeasurement of certain U.S. pension and postretirement benefit plan obligations and assets during 2025. We are not yet able to estimate the timing of potential impact of such an event. As of June 30, 2025, we have incurred costs related to these programs of $126 million. We have begun to realize the expected benefits from these programs and, as previously disclosed, expect to achieve $3.5 billion in savings from these programs in 2025.

In January 2025, we acquired Frigo-Trans, an industry-leading, complex healthcare logistics provider based in Germany. The acquisition is expected to increase our complex cold-chain logistics capabilities internationally.
During 2025, we also acquired franchise development areas for The UPS Store, which are recorded as intangible assets within Supply Chain Solutions.
The aggregate purchase price of all acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was approximately $479 million, net of cash acquired. Acquisitions were funded using cash from operations.
The estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to change based on completion of our purchase accounting. Certain items, including property, plant and equipment, and our estimates of tax positions, are preliminary as of June 30, 2025. The preliminary purchase price allocation for acquired companies can be modified for up to one year from the date of acquisition. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in millions):

Goodwill recognized upon acquisition of approximately $339 million is attributable to expected synergies from future growth, and has been assigned to Supply Chain Solutions. Goodwill acquired is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.
Intangible assets acquired of approximately $186 million are primarily comprised of $142 million of customer relationships (amortized over a weighted average of 15 years). Other intangible assets acquired include franchise rights, licenses and trade names. The carrying value of accounts receivable approximates fair value.
In the second quarter of 2025, we completed the divestiture of a business within UPS Digital. In connection with this divestiture, we recorded a pre-tax gain of $20 million ($14 million after tax) during the three months ended June 30, 2025. The gain was recognized within Other Expenses in the statement of consolidated income.
Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
We continue to execute our Customer First, People Led and Innovation Driven strategy to grow in the most attractive parts of the market including healthcare, small and medium-sized businesses ("SMBs") and International.
During the second quarter and first half of 2025, we took several steps in furtherance of this strategy, including continuing our deliberate shift in our business to increase our focus on higher yielding volume. As previously disclosed, we have entered into an agreement with our largest customer that provides for reductions in the volume they ship with us, relative to 2024, by more than 50% by June 2026. Through the first half of 2025, this volume glide-down proceeded as planned, and in the second half 2025, we expect to accelerate the year-over-year pace of decline to close to 30%.
Also as previously disclosed, in the first half of 2025 we insourced our former SurePost product, using the UPS network for final mile delivery, and have since replaced it with Ground Saver, a new domestic economy service meant to complement our array of products used by our customers. The insourcing of this product pressured our operating results in both the second quarter and first half of 2025 as pickup and delivery costs were higher than last year. During the second quarter of 2025, we took pricing actions to manage Ground Saver volume and we are working to continue to reduce our costs related to this product.
In the first half of 2025, we completed the previously announced acquisition of Frigo-Trans and Biotech & Pharma Logistics ("Frigo-Trans"), an industry-leading, complex healthcare logistics provider based in Germany. The acquisition has increased our complex cold-chain logistics capabilities internationally. As previously disclosed, in the second quarter of 2025, we entered into an agreement to acquire Andlauer Healthcare Group ("AHG"), a leading North American supply chain management company that offers customized third-party logistics and specialized cold chain transportation solutions for the healthcare sector. This acquisition is expected to close in late 2025, subject to customary regulatory reviews and approvals.
As previously disclosed, our Network of the Future initiative is intended to enhance the efficiency of our network through automation and operational sort consolidation in our U.S. Domestic network. In connection with our strategic execution of planned volume declines from our largest customer, we began our Network Reconfiguration initiative, which is an expansion of Network of the Future and has led and will continue to lead to consolidations of our facilities and workforce as well as an end-to-end process redesign. We launched our Efficiency Reimagined initiatives to undertake the end-to-end process redesign effort which will align our organizational processes to the network reconfiguration. In connection therewith, we expect to reduce our operational workforce by approximately 20,000 positions. During the second quarter of 2025, we closed daily operations at 74 leased and owned buildings, 68 of which have been permanently closed. We continue to review expected changes in volume in our integrated air and ground network to identify additional buildings for closure.
In connection with the Network Reconfiguration and Efficiency Reimagined programs, we expect to exclude between $400 and $650 million in non-GAAP adjusted expense during 2025, related primarily to third-party consulting fees, employee separation benefits and certain programmatic expenses. We expect the costs associated with these actions may increase should we determine to close additional buildings. In addition, we believe that workforce reductions may require a remeasurement of certain U.S. pension and postretirement benefit plan obligations and assets during 2025. We are not yet able to estimate the timing of potential impact of such an event. As of June 30, 2025, we have incurred costs related to these programs of $126 million. We have begun to realize the expected benefits from these programs and, as previously disclosed, expect to achieve $3.5 billion in savings from these programs in 2025.
In addition, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur other costs and benefits associated with our Network Reconfiguration programs and anticipated lower volumes, including early asset retirement, lease related costs and gains from the sale of properties. It is our intention to exit or abandon leases, sell property and transfer or dispose of equipment associated with closed facilities. During the first half of 2025, we incurred $37 million in accelerated depreciation and asset retirement obligations related to closed facilities and abandoned equipment and $34 million in gains on sale of properties. We expect the costs associated with these actions may increase should we determine to close additional buildings.
We have two reportable segments: U.S. Domestic Package and International Package, which are together referred to as our global small package operations. Our remaining businesses are reported as Supply Chain Solutions.
UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our financial results for both the second quarter and year-to-date periods of 2025 reflect the impact of a complex macro environment, driven by evolving trade policies, as well as the significant strategic actions we are taking. Our global package operations experienced volume declines during the second quarter and year-to-date periods of 2025 due to our strategic execution of planned volume declines from our largest customer and our revenue quality efforts, partially offset by volume growth in all regions of our International business. Overall declines in package volume in both periods were largely offset by growth in revenue per piece due to pricing actions and changes in customer and product mix. Revenue in our global small package operations during the second quarter and year-to-date periods of 2025 benefited from growth in air cargo revenue as we fully onboarded volume under our contract with the U.S. Postal Service ("USPS") during the fourth quarter of 2024.
Global trade policy changes including pending and enacted tariffs and the de minimis exclusions took effect during the second quarter of 2025 and resulted in shifting trade lane volumes, particularly reducing volumes on our China to U.S. lane, pressuring our International segment margins during the second quarter. Partially offsetting this decline was growth on other trade lanes, including from China to the rest of the world and the rest of the world into the U.S.
Supply Chain Solutions revenue decreased in both the second quarter and year-to-date periods of 2025, driven by the impact of the third quarter 2024 divestiture of Coyote and declines in Mail Innovations, Air and Ocean Forwarding, partially offset by growth in certain of our healthcare and digital businesses.
During the second quarter and first half of 2025, we continued to return cash to shareholders. We completed our previously announced $1.0 billion of share repurchases in the first half of 2025 and paid dividends of $1.64 per share and $3.28 per share in the second quarter and year-to-date periods of 2025, respectively.
The macro environment is highly uncertain due to changing trade policies and tariff uncertainty. As a global carrier, the eventual outcomes could result in pressure in some parts of our business and create new opportunities in others.

•Average daily package volume in our global small package operations decreased in both the quarter and year-to-date periods driven by our strategic execution of planned volume declines from our largest customer and pricing actions taken on certain e-commerce customers, as well as challenging macroeconomic conditions. The overall decreases in the U.S. Domestic Package segment in both the second quarter and year-to-date periods were partially offset by growth in SMB volume; consolidated volume declines were partially offset by growth in all regions of the International Package segment.
•Revenue declined in both the quarter and year-to-date periods, driven by the impact of the third quarter 2024 divestiture of Coyote, which contributed $539 million of revenue in the second quarter of 2024 ($1.1 billion year to date in 2024), our strategic execution of planned volume declines from our largest customer, and macroeconomic conditions. These reductions were partially offset by increases in air cargo revenue in our global small package operations and the impact of revenue quality efforts.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
•Operating expenses decreased in both the quarter and year-to-date periods, driven by decreases in purchased transportation and fuel expenses, primarily attributable to the impact of the 2024 divestiture of Coyote and the insourcing of our Ground Saver product. These decreases were partially offset by increases in compensation and benefits and other costs associated with pick up and delivery expenses driven by the insourcing of our Ground Saver Product and increases in purchased transportation rates within Mail Innovations.
•Operating profit and operating margin decreased for the quarter (flat year to date) primarily due to lower volumes in the U.S. Domestic Package segment, increased pickup and delivery expense related to insourcing our Ground Saver product and shifting international trade lanes related to trade policy challenges, partially offset by the impact of revenue quality efforts.
•We reported quarterly net income of $1.3 billion and diluted earnings per share of $1.51 ($2.5 billion and $2.91 per share, year to date). Non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $1.55 ($3.04 per share, year to date) after adjusting for the after-tax impacts of:
◦transformation strategy costs of $57 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, in the second quarter ($101 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, year to date);
◦gain on divestiture of $15 million, or ($0.02) per diluted share, in both the second quarter and year to date;
◦the reversal of an income tax valuation allowance of $13 million, or ($0.02) per diluted share, in the second quarter ($23 million, or ($0.03) per diluted share, year to date); and
◦goodwill and asset impairment charges of $49 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, in the year-to-date period.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The income tax impacts of these items are calculated at the statutory tax rates applicable in each tax jurisdiction.
We supplement the presentation of operating profit, operating margin, other income and (expense), income before income taxes, net income and earnings per share with non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the impact of the following:
Transformation Strategy Costs
We exclude the impact of charges related to activities within our transformation strategy. Our transformation strategy activities have spanned several years and are designed to fundamentally change the spans and layers of our organization structure, processes, technologies and the composition of our business portfolio. Our transformation strategy includes initiatives within our Transformation 2.0, Fit to Serve, and Network Reconfiguration and Efficiency Reimagined programs. Various circumstances have precipitated these initiatives, including identification and prioritization of investments, developments and changes in competitive landscapes, inflationary pressures, consumer behaviors, and other factors including post-COVID normalization and volume diversions attributed to our 2023 labor negotiations.
Our transformation strategy includes the following programs and initiatives:
Transformation 2.0: Based on a number of factors including evaluating efficiencies previously gained, and in connection with changes in 2020, we identified and reprioritized certain then-current and future investments, including additional investments in our workforce, portfolio of businesses and technology (such projects, collectively, "Transformation 2.0"). Specifically, we identified opportunities to reduce spans and layers of management, began a review of our business portfolio and identified opportunities to invest in certain technologies, including financial reporting and certain schedule, time and pay systems, to reduce global indirect operating costs, provide better visibility, and reduce reliance on legacy systems and coding languages. As of June 30, 2025, our remaining efforts under Transformation 2.0 include technology initiatives related to our financial systems. Previously completed initiatives within Transformation 2.0 are described in Supplemental Information - Items Affecting Comparability in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Costs associated with Transformation 2.0 have primarily consisted of compensation and benefit costs related to reductions in our workforce and fees paid to third-party consultants. As of June 30, 2025, we have incurred $811 million of costs as part of Transformation 2.0, with anticipated remaining costs of approximately $75 million primarily related to completion of our technology initiatives. We expect any remaining costs to be incurred during 2025. These technology initiatives are expected to provide enhanced reporting quality for both internal and external purposes in part through simplification and standardization of data to better enable migration into cloud-based tools and automation, including transitioning general ledger, consolidation, and planning tools along with U.S. payroll from older programs and software supporting our freight forwarding business. These efforts are expected to reduce the need for future investments and we began realizing benefits therefrom during the second quarter of 2025.
Fit to Serve: In 2023, a number of factors, including macroeconomic headwinds and volume diversion resulting from our labor negotiations with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, contributed to volume declines in our U.S. Domestic Package business. In addition, our International Package and Supply Chain Solutions businesses were also negatively impacted by a number of challenging macroeconomic conditions during 2023. In response to these factors, we undertook our Fit to Serve initiative with the intent to right-size our business to create a more efficient operating model that was more responsive to market dynamics through a workforce reduction of approximately 14,000 positions, primarily within management. As of June 30, 2025, we have incurred total costs of $444 million under Fit to Serve, which primarily consist of benefit costs related to reductions in our workforce. We expect to incur remaining costs of approximately $20 million in 2025 as a part of this initiative, which should be complete in 2025. We have achieved savings of approximately $1.0 billion through this program via reductions in our compensation and benefit expense.
Network Reconfiguration and Efficiency Reimagined: As previously disclosed, our Network of the Future initiative is intended to enhance the efficiency of our network through automation and operational sort consolidation in our U.S. Domestic network. In connection with our strategic execution of planned volume declines from our largest customer, we began our Network Reconfiguration initiative, which is an expansion of Network of the Future and has led and will continue to lead to consolidations of our facilities and workforce as well as an end-to-end process redesign. We launched our Efficiency Reimagined initiatives to undertake the end-to-end process redesign effort which will align our organizational processes to the network reconfiguration. In connection therewith, we expect to reduce our operational workforce by approximately 20,000 positions. During the second quarter of 2025, we closed daily operations at 74 leased and owned buildings, 68 of which have been permanently closed. We continue to review expected changes in volume in our integrated air and ground network to identify additional buildings for closure.
UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In connection with the Network Reconfiguration and Efficiency Reimagined programs, we expect to exclude between $400 and $650 million in non-GAAP adjusted expense during 2025, related primarily to third-party consulting fees, employee separation benefits and certain programmatic expenses. We expect the costs associated with these actions may increase should we determine to close additional buildings. In addition, we believe that workforce reductions may require a remeasurement of certain U.S. pension and postretirement benefit plan obligations and assets during 2025. We are not yet able to estimate the timing of potential impact of such an event. As of June 30, 2025, we have incurred costs related to these programs of $126 million. We have begun to realize the expected benefits from these programs and, as previously disclosed, expect to achieve $3.5 billion in savings from these programs in 2025.
We do not consider the related costs to be ordinary because each program involves separate and distinct activities that may span multiple periods and are not expected to drive incremental revenue, and because the scope of the programs exceeds that of routine, ongoing efforts to enhance profitability. These initiatives are in addition to ordinary, ongoing efforts to enhance our business performance.
In addition, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur other costs and benefits associated with our Network Reconfiguration programs and anticipated lower volumes, including early asset retirement, lease related costs and gains from the sale of properties. It is our intention to exit or abandon leases, sell property and transfer or dispose of equipment associated with closed facilities. During the first half of 2025, we incurred $37 million in accelerated depreciation and asset retirement obligations related to closed facilities and abandoned equipment and $34 million in gains on sale of properties. We expect the costs associated with these actions may increase should we determine to close additional buildings.
For more information regarding transformation strategy costs, see note 17 to the unaudited, consolidated financial statements.
Goodwill and Asset Impairment Charges
We exclude the impact of goodwill and asset impairment charges, including impairments of certain long-lived assets and equity method investments, which we do not consider when evaluating the operating performance of our business units, making decisions to allocate resources or in determining incentive compensation awards. For more information regarding goodwill and asset impairment charges, see note 5 and note 8 to the unaudited, consolidated financial statements.
Expense for Regulatory Matter
We exclude the impact of a charge to settle a regulatory matter that we consider to be unrelated to our ongoing operations and that we do not expect to recur. For more information regarding this matter, see note 10 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
One-Time Payment for International Regulatory Matter
We exclude the impact of a payment to settle an international tax regulatory matter from the second quarter of 2024. We do not believe this payment was a component of our ongoing operations and we do not expect this or similar payments to recur. For more information regarding this matter, see note 10 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Gain and Losses Related to Divestitures
We exclude the impact of gains (or losses) related to the divestiture of certain businesses. We do not consider these transactions when evaluating the operating performance of our business units, making decisions to allocate resources or in determining incentive compensation awards. For more information regarding gains and losses related to divestitures, see note 18 to the unaudited, consolidated financial statements.
Reversal of Income Tax Valuation Allowance
We previously recorded non-GAAP adjustments for transactions that resulted in capital loss deferred tax assets not expected to be realized. We now expect a portion of these capital losses to be realized in future periods. We supplement our presentation with non-GAAP measures that exclude the impact of subsequent changes in the valuation allowances against these deferred tax assets as we believe such treatment is consistent with how the valuation allowance was initially established. For more information regarding the reversal of this income tax valuation allowance, see note 16 to the unaudited, consolidated financial statements.

Non-GAAP Adjusted Cost per Piece
We evaluate the efficiency of our operations using various metrics, including non-GAAP adjusted cost per piece. Non-GAAP adjusted cost per piece is calculated as non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses in a period divided by total volume for that period. Because non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses exclude costs or charges that we do not consider a part of underlying business performance when monitoring and evaluating the operating performance of our business units, making decisions to allocate resources or in determining incentive compensation awards, we believe this is the appropriate metric on which to base reviews and evaluations of the efficiency of our operational performance.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations - Segment Review
The results and discussions that follow are reflective of how management monitors and evaluates the performance of our segments as defined in note 13 to the unaudited, consolidated financial statements.
Certain operating expenses are allocated between 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 category 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, or as necessary to reflect changes in our businesses. There were no significant changes to our allocation methodologies in the second quarter of 2025.
As a normal part of managing our air network, we routinely idle aircraft and engines temporarily for maintenance or to adjust network capacity. As of June 30, 2025, we had five aircraft temporarily idled for an average period of approximately eight months in order to better match capacity with current demand. Temporarily idled assets are classified as held-and-used, and we continue to record depreciation expense for these assets. We expect these aircraft to return to revenue service during the second half of 2025. During the second quarter of 2025, we retired two fully depreciated MD-11s from operational service. We continue to evaluate possible retirements within our fleet and expect to retire one fully depreciated MD-11 from operational service in the second half of 2025.
We test goodwill for impairment annually at July 1 and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that it is more likely than not that the carrying value thereof may be impaired. Testing goodwill for impairment requires that we make a number of significant assumptions, including assumptions related to future revenues, costs, capital expenditures, working capital, our cost of capital, long-term growth rates and market comparables. We are also required to make assumptions relating to our overall business and operating strategy, and the regulatory and market environment.
Approximately $1.2 billion of our consolidated goodwill balance of $4.8 billion is represented by our Global Freight Forwarding, Roadie and Global Logistics and Distribution reporting units which, based on our July 1, 2024 annual impairment evaluation, exhibited a limited excess of fair value above carrying value and reflect a greater risk of an impairment occurring in future periods. During the first quarter of 2025, our Mail Innovations reporting unit experienced cost increases higher than our expectations due to increases in purchased transportation rates, resulting from the expiration of a contract with our primary vendor. These cost increases began to dissipate in the second quarter of 2025 as we started utilizing alternative vendors. In the second quarter of 2025, we also took action to address the revenue quality in this business, and experienced improvements therein. Depending on the outcome of these actions, our expectations for the future performance of this reporting unit could be materially affected. Approximately $295 million in goodwill is represented by our Mail Innovations reporting unit. Additionally, Frigo-Trans, which was acquired during the first half of 2025, is now reported as part of our Healthcare Logistics and Distribution reporting unit.
We continue to monitor all of our reporting units subsequent to the most recent annual test and, while we do not believe it is more likely than not that our reporting units' fair values are less than their carrying values as of June 30, 2025, challenging macroeconomic and uncertain geopolitical conditions, changes in global trade policy, actual reporting unit performance, revisions to our forecasts of future performance or other factors, including market comparables, may negatively impact certain estimates and assumptions that we use in determining our reporting units' fair values. Such impacts may be more pronounced for reporting units whose fair values do not significantly exceed their carrying values. Any of these factors or a combination thereof could result in an impairment charge in one or more of our reporting units during a future period.

The growth in rates and product mix shown above includes the growth we experienced in our air cargo product during both the second quarter and the year-to-date periods in 2025, as air cargo under our contract with the USPS was fully onboarded during the fourth quarter of 2024. Air cargo is measured by dimensional weight, not on a per piece basis, and therefore does not impact the volume and revenue per piece discussions below.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Volume
Average daily volume decreased for both the quarter and year-to-date periods, driven by our strategic execution of planned volume declines from our largest customer and decreases in our Ground Saver product as a result of our pricing actions on certain e-commerce volume, as well as macro dynamics on market demand. As a result, residential and commercial volume decreased for both the quarter and year-to-date periods. Business-to-business volume decreased 2.3% in the quarter (down 0.5% year to date), primarily driven by demand softness within the manufacturing and retail sectors partially offset by continued volume growth from SMBs who leverage our Digital Access Program and growth in returns. Business-to-consumer volume decreased 10.9% in the quarter (down 9.0% year to date), as a result of the factors discussed above, with declines from large customers, partially offset by continued growth in SMB from our Digital Access Program.
Within our Air products, average daily volume decreased 11.6% in the quarter (down 10.6% year to date), driven by the continued execution under the contract terms with our largest customer, partially offset by increased demand from the healthcare and technology sectors.
Ground average daily volume decreased 6.6% for the quarter (down 4.6% year to date) driven by residential volume decreases of 10.0% for the quarter (down 7.9% year to date) which were primarily due to pricing actions we took, as described above.
Revenue Per Piece
Revenue per piece increased 5.5% for the quarter (up 5.0% year to date) due to favorable trends in customer and product mix as a result of the pricing actions discussed above. Package characteristics and fuel surcharges also contributed to the increase in revenue per piece.
Revenue per piece from both our Air and Ground products increased for both the quarter and year-to-date periods. In December 2024, we implemented an average 5.9% net increase in base and accessorial rates for both our Air and Ground products.
Fuel Surcharges
We apply a fuel surcharge on our domestic air and ground services that adjusts weekly. Our air fuel surcharge is based on the U.S. Department of Energy's ("DOE") Gulf Coast spot price for a gallon of kerosene-type fuel, and our ground fuel surcharge is based on the DOE's On-Highway Diesel Fuel price.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses and non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses were flat for both the quarter and year-to-date periods as a result of the decline in volume, and the following:
•Ground and rail transportation decreased $406 million for the quarter (down $537 million year to date) driven by the insourcing of our Ground Saver product.
•Compensation and Benefits for our Air and Ground products increased $222 million for the quarter (up $341 million year to date) primarily driven by increased stops associated with the insourcing of our Ground Saver product and the impact of health and welfare and wage rate increases for our union workforce. This was partially offset by a decrease in management compensation cost due to a reduction in incentive compensation expense.
•Air cargo expense increased $180 million for the quarter (up $258 million year to date) as we fully onboarded our contract with the USPS during the fourth quarter of 2024.
Our non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses exclude the impact of asset impairment charges of $5 million in the 2024 year-to-date period as well as transformation strategy costs of $66 and $8 million within the U.S. Domestic Package segment in the second quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively and $98 and $17 million in the 2025 and 2024 year-to-date periods, respectively. Transformation strategy costs reflected within the U.S. Domestic Package segment during the 2025 and 2024 periods relate to our Fit to Serve and Transformation 2.0 programs. These costs in the 2025 periods also include costs related to our Network Reconfiguration and Efficiency Reimagined programs. Within these programs, we incurred compensation and benefits costs, as well as fees paid to outside professional service providers. See Supplemental Information - Items Affecting Comparability for additional discussion of transformation strategy costs excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures.
UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Cost per piece increased 6.1% during the second quarter of 2025 (up 4.9% year to date). Non-GAAP adjusted cost per piece increased 5.6% during the second quarter of 2025 (up 4.6% year to date). The increase in cost per piece was primarily driven by increased compensation and benefits costs from Ground Saver volume in addition to lower average daily volume, due primarily to the strategic execution of planned volume declines from our largest customer as discussed above, which were not fully offset by the benefits of our cost saving initiatives.
Operating Profit and Margin
As a result of the factors described above, operating profit decreased $72 million for the quarter (up $74 million year to date), with operating margin decreasing 50 basis points to 6.5% for the quarter (up 20 basis points to 6.6% year to date). Non-GAAP adjusted operating profit decreased $14 million for the quarter (up $150 million year to date), with non-GAAP adjusted operating margin remaining unchanged at 7.0% for the quarter (up 50 basis points to 7.0% year to date). Non-GAAP adjusted operating profit excludes the impact of operating expense adjustments discussed above.

UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparative results were impacted by one less operating day in the first half of 2025. Global trade policy changes including enacted tariffs and the de minimis exclusions took effect during the second quarter and resulted in shifting trade lane volumes and reduced segment margin.
Volume
Average daily volume increased for both the quarter and year-to-date periods, driven by increases in both our domestic and export products in all regions.
Domestic average daily volume increased 1.5% for the quarter and 3.1% year to date primarily driven by retail customers in Canada.
Export average daily volume increased 6.1% for the quarter and 7.7% year to date due to SMB and enterprise customers in Europe, the Indian sub-continent, Middle East and Africa ("EMEAI") and retail customers in the Americas trade lanes. The Asia trade lanes were impacted by U.S. trade policy changes during the quarter, which resulted in a decline on our China-to-US trade lane. This decline was partially offset by growth on our China to the rest of the world trade lanes, and from the rest of world into the U.S.
Export premium products increased 7.0% for the quarter (up 8.7% year to date) driven by increases in Worldwide and Transborder Express products. Transborder Express product volume increased driven by European customers in the healthcare industry. Worldwide Express product volume increased as a result of accelerated U.S. inbound services in anticipation of tariff changes. Export non-premium product volumes increased 5.2% for the quarter (up 8.4% year to date), primarily driven by increases in Transborder Standard products from SMBs primarily within the retail sector.
Revenue Per Piece
Revenue per piece decreased 1.3% for the quarter (down 2.0% year to date) primarily due to a shift in product mix to Transborder Standard from our Worldwide products and lower demand-related surcharges, partially offset by favorable currency movements during the second quarter. Rate changes for shipments originating outside the U.S. are made throughout the year and vary by geographic market.
Domestic revenue per piece increased 6.3% for the quarter (up 2.5% year to date) primarily driven by changes in EMEAI customer mix.
Export revenue per piece declined 4.5% both for the quarter and year-to-date periods, primarily due to declines in demand-related surcharges and an unfavorable shift in product mix.
Fuel Surcharges
The fuel surcharge we apply to international air services originating inside or outside the U.S. is 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.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased for both the quarter and year-to-date periods. Pickup and delivery expenses increased $152 million (up $239 million year to date), driven by increased volumes and merit compensation increases as well as the impact of the implementation of weekend operations within Europe. Costs of operating our integrated air and ground network increased $48 million (up $87 million year to date) primarily due to increased air charters and block hours as we aligned our network to meet higher volume demands.
UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses exclude the impact of a one-time international regulatory matter of $88 million in the second quarter and year-to-date periods of 2024 and a $2 million asset impairment charge in the year-to-date period of 2024. Additionally, non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses exclude activities associated with our transformation strategy, which were $10 and $18 million in the second quarters of 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $23 and $42 million in the 2025 and 2024 year-to-date periods, respectively. Transformation strategy costs reflected within the International Package segment during both periods were related to our Fit to Serve and our Efficiency Reimagined programs. Within these programs, we incurred compensation and benefits costs, as well as fees paid to outside professional service providers. See Supplemental Information - Items Affecting Comparability for additional discussion of transformation strategy costs excluded from our non-GAAP adjusted financial measures.
Operating Profit and Margin
As a result of the factors described above, operating profit decreased $46 million for the quarter ($61 million year to date), with operating margin decreasing 140 basis points to 15.0% (down 110 basis points to 14.8% year to date). Non-GAAP adjusted operating profit decreased $142 million for the quarter ($170 million year to date) and non-GAAP adjusted operating margin decreased 370 basis points to 15.2% (down 240 basis points to 15.1% year to date).

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenue
Total revenue in Supply Chain Solutions decreased for both the quarter and year-to-date periods primarily due to a decline in Forwarding and Logistics revenue, partially offset by an increase in our other businesses.
Within our Forwarding businesses, revenue decreased $583 million for the quarter (down $1.1 billion year to date), primarily driven by the impact of the third quarter 2024 divestiture of Coyote, which contributed $539 million of revenue in the 2024 second quarter ($1.1 billion in the 2024 year-to-date period). Revenue within our other Forwarding businesses also declined by a total of $45 million during the quarter (down $36 million year to date), primarily driven by demand softness from changing trade policies and tariff uncertainty, particularly on our China-to-US trade lane, which negatively impacted both our volume and rates.
Within our Logistics businesses, revenue decreased $70 million for the quarter (down $40 million year to date). Revenue in our Mail Innovations business decreased $109 million (down $55 million year to date), driven by volume declines resulting from initiatives to improve revenue quality. The declines in Mail Innovations revenue were partially offset by $41 million of revenue increases in our healthcare logistics business for the quarter (up $29 million year to date), due to our January 2025 acquisition of Frigo-Trans and year-over-year growth in other healthcare businesses.
Revenue from our other businesses within Supply Chain Solutions increased $59 million for the quarter (up $112 million year to date) primarily driven by growth in our digital businesses, which increased $61 million for the quarter (up $109 million year to date) primarily driven by volume growth from Roadie as well as UPS Capital.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses and non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses within Supply Chain Solutions decreased for the quarter and year-to-date periods for the reasons described below. Non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses within our Forwarding, Logistics and other Supply Chain Solutions businesses exclude expenses related to financial systems and other projects undertaken as part of our transformation strategy as shown in the table above.
Forwarding operating expenses, and non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses, decreased $565 and $574 million, respectively, during the quarter (both decreasing $1.1 billion year to date), driven primarily by the impact of the third quarter 2024 divestiture of Coyote. Operating expenses, including non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses, in our other forwarding businesses decreased $43 million for the quarter (down $30 million year to date), primarily due to a decrease in market rates for third-party air and ocean transportation.
Logistics operating expenses and non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses decreased $28 and $16 million, respectively, for the quarter (up $107 and $159 million year to date, respectively) primarily driven by volume declines and lower purchased transportation costs in our Mail Innovations business. This was partially offset by increases across our other Logistics businesses. Year to date, expenses associated with our Mail Innovations business increased primarily driven by higher purchased transportation rates during the first quarter, resulting from the expiration of a contract with our primary vendor. These cost increases began to dissipate in the second quarter of 2025 as we started utilizing alternative vendors. We also took action to address the revenue quality in this business, and experienced improvements therein. Non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses within Logistics in the second quarter of 2024 excluded a $41 million write-down related to certain trade names.
Operating expenses and non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses in our other Supply Chain Solutions businesses increased $3 and $28 million, respectively, for the quarter (up $23 and $49 million, year to date, respectively). Within our digital businesses, operating expenses increased $39 million during the quarter and $52 million, year to date, primarily due to volume growth at Roadie. During the second quarter, non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses in our other Supply Chain Solutions businesses exclude a $20 million gain on divestiture and year to date non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses exclude a $39 million impairment charge, both related to a business within UPS Digital. Non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses in these businesses in the prior year periods exclude a $5 and $45 million expense related to a regulatory matter in the 2024 second quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively.
UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Transformation strategy costs reflected within Supply Chain Solutions during the quarter and year-to-date periods are related to our Fit to Serve, Transformation 2.0 and Network Reconfiguration and Efficiency Reimagined programs. Within Transformation 2.0, we incurred costs related to financial system investments in Forwarding during both periods. Within Fit to Serve, we incurred severance costs in both the second quarter and year-to-date periods of 2025 and 2024 as we right-size our business. Within Efficiency Reimagined, we incurred costs related to end-to-end process redesign during both periods. See Supplemental Information - Items Affecting Comparability for additional discussion of items excluded from our non-GAAP adjusted financial measures.
Operating Profit and Margin
As a result of the factors described above, total operating profit decreased $4 million for the second quarter (down
$82 million year to date), with operating margin increasing 150 basis points to 8.8% (down 40 basis points to 5.2% year to date). On a non-GAAP adjusted basis, operating profit decreased $32 million for the second quarter (down $152 million year to date) with non-GAAP adjusted operating margin increasing 50 basis points to 8.0% (down 140 basis points to 5.8% year to date). Non-GAAP adjusted operating profit excludes the impact of operating expense adjustments discussed above.

Compensation and Benefits
Total compensation expense and non-GAAP adjusted total compensation expense increased for both the quarter and year-to-date periods. Compensation costs increased $50 million for the quarter (up $285 million year to date) and, on a non-GAAP adjusted basis, increased $56 million for the quarter (up $292 million year to date). The principal factors contributing to the overall increases were:
•Direct labor costs increased $188 million for the quarter (up $462 million year to date). Additional stops resulting from insourcing our Ground Saver product increased direct labor costs by $229 million for the quarter ($527 million increase year to date). Wage rate growth was responsible for $128 million of the cost increase ($260 million increase year to date) driven by increased seniority within our union workforce, contractual wage rate increases for our U.S. union workforce and higher overtime. International labor cost increased $29 million for the quarter (up $42 million year to date) due to merit compensation increases and the implementation of weekend operations within Europe. Other payroll costs for flight operations increased $35 million for the quarter due to increased activity (up $75 million year to date). These increases were partially offset by the impact of decreases in volume, which reduced direct labor expense by $228 million for the quarter (down $427 million year to date). Further expected growth in compensation expense is expected to be partially offset by the anticipated impact from workforce reductions as we execute on our Network Reconfiguration and Efficiency Reimagined initiatives.
•Indirect labor costs increased $23 million for the quarter (up $13 million year to date) due to higher administrative and overtime costs.
•Management compensation costs decreased $162 million for the quarter (down $191 million year to date) due to lower overall headcount and a reduction in incentive compensation expense.
Benefits costs increased $73 million for the quarter (up $26 million year to date) and on a non-GAAP adjusted basis increased $37 million (down $4 million year to date). The principal factors driving these changes were:
UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
•Health and welfare costs increased $47 million for the quarter (up $65 million year to date), driven by increased contributions to multiemployer plans as a result of contractually-mandated rate increases.
•Other employee benefits expense increased $47 million for the quarter (up $41 million year to date) due to higher separation costs as we continue to right-size our business.
•Accruals for paid time off, payroll taxes and other costs increased $22 million for the quarter (up $45 million year to date) primarily due to the impact of insourcing our Ground Saver product and higher wages.
•Workers' compensation expense increased $12 million for the quarter (up $10 million year to date) due to less favorable developments in prior year claims partially offset by the impact from a reduction in overall hours worked.
•Pension and other postretirement benefits costs decreased $56 million for the quarter (down $137 million year to date). These reductions were driven by the impact of demographic updates and workforce reductions, a decrease in the cost of company-sponsored defined benefit plans driven by lower service cost resulting from higher discount rates, and decreased expense for multiemployer plans.
Non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses in the second quarter and year-to-date periods of 2025 and 2024 exclude the impact of costs incurred under our transformation strategy programs, Fit to Serve, Transformation 2.0 and Network Reconfiguration and Efficiency Reimagined initiatives, and primarily consisted of other employee benefits expense and related payroll tax expense. Compensation and benefits expenses under these programs during the second quarter of 2025 were $50 million ($74 million year to date), an increase of $30 million for the quarter (up $23 million year to date) as compared to the same period of 2024. See Supplemental Information - Items Affecting Comparability for additional discussion of items excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures.
Repairs and Maintenance
Repairs and maintenance cost increased in both the second quarter and year-to-date periods due to increased ground network usage and an increase in parts and labor for aircraft.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased in both the second quarter and year-to-date periods due to capital asset additions and building closures during the second quarter of 2025 which shortened useful lives and accelerated depreciation.
Purchased Transportation
Third-party transportation expense charged to us by air, ocean and ground carriers decreased $751 million for the quarter (down $1.3 billion year to date). The changes were primarily driven by:
•Ground transportation decreased $623 million for the quarter (down $1.1 billion year to date) primarily due to the divestiture of Coyote in 2024 and the impact of insourcing our Ground Saver Product, as well as lower overall volume.
•Third-party fuel surcharges decreased $91 million for the quarter (down $182 million year to date) primarily due to the divestiture of Coyote.
•Rail transportation decreased $30 million for the quarter (down $49 million year to date) primarily due to lower volume.
Fuel Expense
The decrease in fuel expense for both the quarter and year-to-date periods was mainly attributable to lower prices for jet fuel, diesel and gasoline, partially offset by the impact of increases in flight activity. Market prices and the manner in which we purchase fuel influence our costs. The majority of our fuel purchases utilize index-based pricing formulas plus or minus a fixed locational/supplier differential. While many of the indices are correlated, each index may respond differently to changes in underlying prices, which in turn can drive variability in our costs.
Other Occupancy
Other occupancy expense increased $52 million for the quarter (up $95 million year to date) due to an increase in electrical and power utilities, rent expense, other occupancy related expenses such as taxes and permits and weather-related costs.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Other Expenses
Other expenses increased $99 million for the quarter (up $145 million year to date), and on a non-GAAP adjusted basis, increased $195 million for the quarter (up $271 million year to date). The principal factors contributing to the increases were:
•Auto liability insurance costs increased $43 million for the quarter (up $85 million year to date) driven by the unfavorable development of old claims.
•Technology expense increased $28 million for the quarter (up $42 million year to date) due to higher software costs and rental costs for tech equipment.
•Third-party consulting expense increased $27 million for the quarter (up $78 million year to date) primarily driven by cost associated with our transformation initiatives.
•Commissions paid increased $14 million for the quarter (up $62 million year to date) primarily due to growth in our Digital Access Program.
These increases were offset by $28 million in gains from asset disposals for the quarter ($118 million year to date) compared to immaterial impacts in the 2024 periods.
Non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses exclude the impact of:
•In the second quarter and year-to-date 2024 periods, we incurred $88 million of international regulatory expense. We did not have any similar expenses in 2025.
•In the 2025 year-to-date period we recognized expense of $39 million related to the write down in the value of certain assets within our UPS Digital business. A gain of $20 million from the divestiture of the same business was recognized in the second quarter of 2025. In the first quarter of 2024 we recognized expense of $48 million related to the impairment of trade names and software.
•Transformation strategy costs of $24 million for the quarter ($58 million year to date), an increase of $17 million for the quarter ($36 million year to date) as a result of additional third-party consulting costs associated with our transformation initiatives.
•In the second quarter and year-to-date 2024 periods, we incurred expenses of $5 and $45 million, respectively, related to a regulatory matter. We did not have any similar expenses in 2025.
We expect to incur additional other expenses under our Fit to Serve, Transformation 2.0, Network Reconfiguration and Efficiency Reimagined programs during the remainder of 2025.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Investment Income and Other
Investment income and other decreased by $59 million in the quarter and $98 million year to date, primarily driven by lower rates on lower average invested balances, year-over-year changes in fair value of certain non-current investments, and reductions in pension income. The reduction in pension income was driven by an increase in interest cost from overall plan growth and higher discount rates, slightly offset by higher expected returns on pension assets.
For the year-to-date period in 2025, investment income includes a $19 million impairment charge of an equity method investment. Excluding the impact of this impairment, non-GAAP adjusted investment income and other decreased by $79 million year to date.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased for both the second quarter and year-to-date periods, due to higher average outstanding debt balances.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We deploy a disciplined and balanced approach to capital allocation, including returns to shareowners through dividends and share repurchases. As of June 30, 2025, we had $6.3 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 and other available liquidity options will be adequate to fund our material short- and long-term cash requirements, including our business operations, planned capital expenditures, pension contributions, planned acquisitions, 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 operations.

Net cash from operating activities decreased $2.6 billion during the first half of the year, driven by:
•Higher contributions to our company-sponsored, defined benefit pension and postretirement medical plans.
•Unfavorable changes in working capital driven by:
▪An increase in accounts receivable from higher tariffs, duties and taxes to be paid by our customers.
▪Higher incentive compensation payments in 2025.
▪Higher income tax payments in 2025 due to deferred payments resulting from Hurricane Helene relief.
As of June 30, 2025, approximately $2.7 billion of our total worldwide holdings of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were 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, strategic operating needs 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 our business operations, planned capital expenditures, pension contributions, planned acquisitions, transformation strategy costs, debt obligations and planned shareowner returns. 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.

Acquisitions, net of cash acquired | $ | (479) | | | $ | (66) | |
Other investing activities | $ | (6) | | | $ | (4) | |
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, total capital expenditures slightly increased compared to the 2024 period, primarily driven by increased spending on buildings, facilities and plant equipment and information technology, as we execute our Network of the Future initiative.
These increases were partially offset by:
•Reduced spending on vehicles due to a focus on replacements at the end of their useful lives.
•Decreased aircraft expenditures as a result of leveraging finance lease alternatives.
Proceeds from the disposal of businesses, property, plant and equipment were higher primarily due to the impact of a real estate sale-lease back transaction and increased sale of facilities and aircraft during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Changes in marketable securities were largely driven by the liquidation of our portfolio of $2.7 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2024 to provide additional resources for short-term and strategic operating needs.
Cash paid for acquisitions in the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Frigo-Trans, and reacquired development area rights for The UPS Store. In the six months ended June 30, 2024, cash paid for acquisitions related to the purchase of development areas for The UPS Store.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We have commitments for pending acquisitions and for the purchase of aircraft, vehicles, equipment and real estate to provide for the replacement and enhancement of existing capacity and targeted growth. Our 2025 investment program anticipates investments in technology initiatives and enhanced network capabilities, including approximately $500 million of projects to support our environmental sustainability goals. It also provides for maintenance of buildings, facilities and equipment and replacement of certain aircraft within our fleet. We currently expect our capital expenditures will be approximately $3.5 billion for all of 2025, of which approximately 80 percent will be allocated to network enhancement projects and other technology initiatives. We regularly evaluate opportunities for cost effective financing of assets in order to reduce our capital spending. Future capital spending will depend on a variety of factors, including economic and industry conditions, and financing alternatives.

We repurchased 8.6 million shares of class B common stock for $1.0 billion under our stock repurchase program during the six months ended June 30, 2025. We do not currently anticipate further repurchases in 2025. We did not repurchase any shares under our stock repurchase program during the six months ended June 30, 2024. For additional information on our share repurchase activities, see note 12 to the unaudited, consolidated financial statements.
The declaration of dividends is subject to the discretion of the Board and depends on various factors, including our net income, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects and other relevant factors. We increased our quarterly cash dividend to $1.64 per share in 2025, compared to $1.63 in 2024.
Issuances of debt during the six months ended June 30, 2025 consisted of fixed-rate and floating-rate senior notes of varying maturities totaling $4.2 billion. Repayments of debt during the six months ended June 30, 2025 consisted of $1.1 billion of senior notes and finance lease obligations. We received $25 million in proceeds related to other financing arrangements during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

As of June 30, 2025, we had €700 million of fixed-rate senior notes outstanding that mature in 2025 that we intend to repay or refinance these amounts when due. 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 based on daily liquidity needs. The following is a summary of our commercial paper program (in millions):

Total | | | $ | — | | | | | | | |
As of June 30, 2025, we had no outstanding balances under our U.S. or European commercial paper programs.
Cash outflows from other financing activities decreased driven by lower tax withholdings on employee stock compensation as a result of previously disclosed changes to the payout structure of our management incentive award program. Cash outflows for this purpose were approximately $12 and $199 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
We entered into fourteen new aircraft leases in the second quarter of 2025, which required parent company guarantees of approximately $980 million. For additional information on guarantees, see note 9 to the unaudited, consolidated financial statements.
Except as disclosed above and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, we do not have other off-balance sheet financing arrangements, including variable interest entities, which we believe could have a material impact on our financial condition or liquidity.
Sources of Credit
See note 9 to the unaudited, consolidated financial statements for a discussion of our available credit and the financial covenants that we are subject to as part of our credit agreements.
Contractual Commitments

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 may utilize a variety of commodity, foreign currency 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, 2025 | | December 31, 2024 |
Currency Derivatives | $ | (276) | | | $ | 283 | |
| | | |

| | | |
As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had no outstanding commodity hedge positions.
The information concerning market risk in Item 7A under the caption "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 is incorporated herein by reference.
Our market risks, hedging strategies and financial instrument positions as of June 30, 2025 have not materially changed from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. In the second quarter of 2025, we entered into foreign currency exchange forward contracts on the Euro, British Pound Sterling, Canadian Dollar, Hong Kong Dollar, and Chinese Renminbi and had forward contracts expire. The fair value changes between December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2025 in the preceding table are primarily due to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations between those dates.
The foreign currency 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 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 counterparty credit risk to prevent concentrations of credit risk with any single counterparty.
We have agreements with all of our active counterparties (covering all of our derivative positions) containing early termination rights and/or bilateral collateral provisions whereby cash is required based on the net fair value of derivatives associated with those counterparties when positions exceed $250 million.
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. As of June 30, 2025, we held no cash collateral and were not required to post any collateral with our counterparties under these agreements. We have not historically incurred, and do not expect to incur in the future, any losses as a result of counterparty default.
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 and Accounting 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act")). Based upon, and as of the date of, the evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
During April 2025, the Company deployed a new enterprise-wide general ledger and related technologies as part of a broader finance technology modernization program. As a result, the Company has made changes to its internal control over financial reporting to reflect the changes in its system environment and related processes.
There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.Legal Proceedings
For a discussion of material legal proceedings affecting the Company, see note 11 to the unaudited, consolidated financial statements included in this report.
Item 1A.Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to the risk factors described in Part 1, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The occurrence of any of the risks described therein could materially affect us, including impacting our business, financial condition, results of operations, stock price or credit rating, as well as our reputation. These risks are not the only ones we face. We could also be materially adversely affected by other events, factors or uncertainties that are unknown to us, or that we do not currently consider to be material.
Item 2.Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
In January 2023, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase authorization of $5.0 billion for class A and class B common stock. We repurchased 8.6 million shares of class B common stock for $1.0 billion under an accelerated stock repurchase transaction during the three months ended March 31,2025. We did not repurchase any shares under our share repurchase program during the second quarter of 2025. As of June 30, 2025, we had $1.3 billion of this share repurchase authorization available.
