| Fair Value of Financial Instruments |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable, finance receivables and accounts payable approximated fair value as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The fair values of our recognized multiemployer pension withdrawal liabilities are disclosed in note 6, our short- and long-term debt in note 9 and our derivative instruments in note 14. 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 readily determinable fair values are reported in accordance with the measurement alternative in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 321. 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, 2025.

| Use of Estimates |
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 |
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 three months ended March 31, 2026, 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, 2025.
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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, suppliers sold $365 and $435 million, respectively, of our outstanding payment obligations during the relevant period.

| Adoption of New Accounting Standards and Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective |
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
Accounting pronouncements adopted during the periods covered by the unaudited, consolidated financial statements did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or internal controls.
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an Accounting Standards Update ("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 of adoption, but do not expect this ASU to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or internal controls.
In September 2025, the FASB issued an ASU on targeted improvements to the accounting for internal‑use software, which modernizes accounting guidance for costs incurred in developing internal-use software. This ASU removes references to development stages, and instead requires capitalization to begin based on a "probable-to-complete" threshold. This ASU becomes effective for us beginning with our 2028 annual report and for interim and annual periods thereafter, and early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact of adoption, but do not expect this ASU to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or internal controls.
In December 2025, the FASB issued an ASU on accounting for government grants. The ASU defines the scope of government grants and permits recognition only when it is probable that the entity will comply with the grant’s conditions and the grant will be received. It also provides guidance on presentation approaches for both asset‑related and income‑related grants and expands related disclosure requirements. This ASU becomes effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2029 and for annual periods thereafter, and early adoption is permitted. We are evaluating the impact of adoption, but do not expect this ASU to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or internal controls.

| Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable, Net |
Revenue Recognition
Substantially all of our revenues are from contracts associated with the pickup, transportation and delivery of packages and freight ("transportation services") that include only one performance obligation: the transportation services themselves. These services may be carried out by or arranged by us and generally occur over a short period of time. 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.
Accounts Receivable, Net
As part of our working capital management, we have an accounts receivable factoring program with third parties, in which we may sell certain customer receivables on a revolving basis. Any such transactions are accounted for as sales and accordingly, receivables sold are removed from Accounts receivable, Net in our consolidated balance sheets and the proceeds are reflected in Cash Flows from Operating Activities in our statements of consolidated cash flows. Our continuing involvement in these receivables is primarily limited to servicing and under limited circumstances, recourse. Total accounts which may be outstanding under the program are $860 million. In connection with this program, we recognized a liability, measured at fair value, related to our estimated recourse obligations recorded within Other current liabilities in our applicable consolidated balance sheet. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, cash collections of $114 and $59 million were not yet remitted to third-party purchasers. These obligations are included within Other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets, with changes in such obligations reflected within Cash Flows from Financing Activities in our statements of consolidated cash flows. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, accounts receivable outstanding under our factoring programs was $448 and $491 million, respectively.
