Business Combination, Asset Acquisition, and Joint Venture Formation [Abstract]

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 the first quarter of 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 was approximately $478 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 March 31, 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):


	2025
Cash and cash equivalents	$	5
Accounts receivable	20
Other current assets	1
Property, plant and equipment	84
Operating lease right-of-use assets	18
Goodwill	342
Intangible assets(1)	185
Other non-current assets	1
Current maturities of operating leases	(4)
Accounts payable and other current liabilities	(18)
Non-current operating lease	(14)
Deferred income tax liabilities	(49)
Other non-current liabilities	(88)
Total purchase price	$	483

(1) Includes $40 million for acquisitions of development areas for The UPS Store.

Goodwill recognized upon acquisition of approximately $342 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 $185 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.
