Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION | STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION During the three months ended March 31, 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. There were no awards granted under our primary equity-classified stock compensation awards, which include the UPS Long-Term Incentive Performance Award program and the UPS Stock Option program, in the first quarter of 2025.
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 March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $21 and $(27) million, respectively.
As of March 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
On May 7, 2025, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee of the Board (the "Compensation Committee") approved the 2025 LTIP award performance targets. The performance targets for the 2025 LTIP award are equally weighted between adjusted revenue growth and non-GAAP adjusted operating return on invested capital (“ROIC”). 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). 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. The grant date fair value is not yet available and will be determined using a Monte Carlo model.
Additionally, on May 7, 2025, the Compensation Committee approved special awards of time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) for certain of the Company’s employees, excluding the Chief Executive Officer. The RSUs that will be issued will be valued using the closing New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") price of May 9, 2025 and will generally vest as follows: 25% on May 9, 2026; 25% on May 9, 2027; and 50% on May 9, 2028.
