PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Cautionary Statement About Forward-Looking Statements
This report, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 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, new or increased tariffs, government shutdowns, or geopolitical uncertainty, tensions and/or conflicts in or arising from various countries and regions, including the European Union, Ukraine, the Russian Federation, the Middle East and the Trans-Pacific region; 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 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, 2025 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.

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 September 30, 2026, and our results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. 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, 2025 (our "2025 Form 10-K").
Throughout this report, the terms "nine months ended" and "year-to-date period" and "first nine months" refer to the nine months ended September 30.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated fair value as of September 30, 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 values are determined based on other relevant factors, including dealer price quotations (Level 2). If listed market prices or other relevant factors are not available, including situations where there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability, inputs are developed from unobservable data reflecting our own assumptions (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 2025 Form 10-K.
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 Program
s
As part of our working capital management, certain financial institutions offer a Supply Chain Finance ("SCF") program to certain of our suppliers. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, there were no material changes to the SCF program described in note 1
to the audited consolidated financial statements in our 2025 Form 10-K.
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 September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, suppliers sold $
384
and $
435
million, respectively, of our outstanding payment obligations during the relevant period.

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 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 is effective for us beginning with our 2027 annual report and for interim and annual periods thereafter. This ASU will require 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, instead requiring capitalization to begin based on a "probable-to-complete" threshold. This ASU is effective for us beginning with our 2028 annual report and for interim and annual periods thereafter. 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 is effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2029 and for all 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.

UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In May 2026, the FASB issued an ASU on accounting for and disclosure of environmental credits and credit obligations. This ASU provides recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure requirements for all entities that generate, purchase, or receive environmental credits or have a regulatory compliance obligation that may be settled with environmental credits. This ASU becomes effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2028 and for all 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.
Other accounting pronouncements issued before, but not effective until after, September 30, 2026, are not expected to have a material impact on 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") 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 and, as of September 30, 2026, $
410
million was available. 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 sheets. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 cash collections of $
121

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Pre-tax compensation expense for equity-classified stock compensation awards recorded within
Compensation and benefits
in our statements of consolidated income for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 was $
37
and $
25
million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 these amounts were $
95
and $
41
million, respectively.
Our UPS Management Incentive Award Program ("MIP") awards are 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 2025 MIP and 2024 MIP awards are reflected in
Accrued wages and withholdings
in our statements of consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, there were no material changes to our stock-based compensation plans described in note 13 to the audited consolidated financial statements in our 2025 Form 10-K, except as described below.
Long-Term Incentive Program ("LTIP")
On May 6, 2026 (the "grant date"), the Compensation and Human Capital Committee of the Board (the "Compensation Committee") approved awards under the Company's 2026 LTIP program. The 2026 LTIP award contains both a restricted stock unit ("RSU") component and a restricted performance unit ("RPU") component. RPU performance targets are equally weighted between adjusted revenue growth and non-GAAP adjusted return on invested capital ("ROIC"). RPUs 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 exact number of RPUs earned is based on Company performance, and subject to modification based on the Company's total shareholder return relative to the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. We determined the grant date fair value of the RPUs using a Monte Carlo model. Each target RPU awarded on the grant date was valued at $
106.08
. RSUs were valued using the closing NYSE price of $
99.89
on the grant date, and will generally vest ratably over
three years
on each anniversary of the grant date, assuming continued employment with the Company (except in the case of disability or retirement, in which case vesting will continue, or death, in which case immediate vesting will occur).
The weighted-average assumptions used and the weighted-average fair values of the LTIP RPU awards granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 are as follows:

As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we determined that $
52
and $
54
million, respectively, of assets primarily within our U.S. Domestic Package segment met the criteria to be classified as held for sale and, as a result, are presented within

in our consolidated balance sheets.
Network Reconfiguration and Efficiency Reimagined
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, as part of our
Network Reconfiguration
and
Efficiency Reimagined
initiatives, we closed
47
leased or owned buildings,
46
of which have been permanently closed. While the planned volume reductions from our largest customer were completed in the second quarter of 2026, our
Efficiency Reimagined
initiative is not expected to conclude until the fourth quarter of 2027. It is reasonably possible that our plans will also result in further revisions to our estimates of the useful lives and salvage values of certain of our long-lived assets. Any revisions to these plans could further accelerate depreciation expense and lead to the recognition of additional charges related to early retirements in future periods. For additional information, see note 16.
Asset Disposals
For the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, we recorded $
180
and $

million respectively, of gains on sales of assets, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, we recorded $
370
and $
436
million, respectively.
The 2026 gains were related to real estate and aircraft parts and were primarily within our U.S. Domestic Package segment.

UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The 2025 gains primarily related to sale-leaseback transactions involving a data center and real estate and were primarily within our Supply Chain Solutions businesses. We concluded that each qualified as a sale; accordingly, we derecognized the carrying amounts of the properties and recognized the related operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at lease commencement. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we received cash proceeds of approximately $
415
million and recognized gains of $
330
million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 we received cash proceeds of approximately $
465
million and recognized gains of $
362
million. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 sale-leaseback transactions were immaterial.
These gains were recognized within

Impairment
There were no material impairment charges to property, plant and equipment during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 or 2025. We will continue to monitor our long-lived asset groups for impairment.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we contributed $
1.1
billion and $
229
million to our company-sponsored pension and U.S. postretirement medical benefit plans, respectively. Included in these amounts are discretionary non-cash contributions made in August 2026 in the form of company-issued notes with principal amounts of $
450
million. We do not expect material contributions over the remainder of the year to our company-sponsored pension and U.S. postretirement medical benefit plans.
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. These collective bargaining agreements include required contribution rates to the plans that we participate in, and we are in compliance with these contribution rates.

As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had $
788
and $
795
million, respectively, recorded in
Other Non-Current Liabilities
and $
10
million and $
9
million, respectively, 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
36
years. Based on borrowing rates available to us for long-term financing of a similar maturity, the fair value of this withdrawal liability as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $
589
and $
662
million, respectively. We utilized Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy of valuation techniques to determine the fair value of this liability.
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, 2025, 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
In the U.S., we have certain employees covered by a national master agreement and various supplemental agreements with local unions affiliated with the Teamsters which run through July 31, 2028. In Canada, certain employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement with the Teamsters which runs through July 31, 2030.
Certain of our pilots are employed under a collective bargaining agreement with the Independent Pilots Association ("IPA") which became amendable September 1, 2025. We are currently engaged in negotiations with the IPA.
Certain of our airline mechanics are covered by a collective bargaining agreement with Teamsters Local 2727 which becomes amendable November 1, 2029. In addition, certain auto and maintenance mechanics are employed under a collective bargaining agreement with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers which runs through July 31, 2029.

Changes in goodwill during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 resulted from:
•
An impairment charge related to our Healthcare Logistics and Distribution ("HLD") reporting unit within SCS.
•
The impact of U.S. Dollar exchange rate movements on non‑U.S. Dollar goodwill balances.
•
An increase in goodwill as part of purchase accounting allocations relating to our acquisition of Andlauer Healthcare Group ("AHG") in the fourth quarter of 2025. Certain areas of purchase accounting, including our estimates of tax positions, remain preliminary as of September 30, 2026.
We conducted our most recent annual goodwill impairment testing as of July 1, 2026 using both qualitative and quantitative methods. Our quantitative tests utilize a combination of the income and market approaches. In developing our valuation assumptions underlying the annual impairment testing, we determined that the estimated fair value of our HLD reporting unit within SCS was adversely impacted by an increase in the cost of capital, driven by higher discount rates from lower financial performance within our European healthcare logistics operations. The results of our testing using these revised assumptions indicated that the carrying value of our HLD reporting unit exceeded its estimated fair value. At the July 1, 2026 testing date, approximately $
1.6
billion of our $
5.8
billion consolidated goodwill balance was represented by our HLD reporting unit.
As a result, for the third quarter of 2026, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $
182
million within
Other expenses
in our statement of consolidated income.
For each of our reporting units, we continue to monitor the impact of macroeconomic conditions and business performance on our estimates of fair value. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, none of our other reporting units had indications that an impairment was more likely than not. 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, other factors, or a combination thereof could result in additional non-cash impairment charges in one or more of our reporting units during a future period.
Notwithstanding the above, during 2025, our Mail Innovations reporting unit, which is contained within SCS, experienced cost increases in excess of our expectations due to higher purchased transportation rates following the expiration of a contract with our primary vendor. These cost pressures began to moderate as we transitioned volume to alternative vendors. However, the pace of recovery has been slower than anticipated. Based on our most recent annual impairment evaluation, Mail Innovations continues to exhibit an excess fair value above its carrying value. However, further deterioration in the financial performance could negatively impact the reporting unit and our estimates of fair value. Approximately $
295
million in goodwill is represented by our Mail Innovations reporting unit.

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.
As of September 30, 2026, we had $
1.5
billion of additional leases which had not commenced and are expected to commence later in 2026 through 2027. These leases are primarily related to aircraft and will commence upon delivery of the related aircraft. 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.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 Issuances
On August 12, 2026, we issued fixed-rate senior notes with a principal balance of $
1.0
billion. The notes bear interest at
4.850
% per year and mature on August 15, 2031. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually, beginning February 15, 2027. The notes are 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 the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In connection with this issuance, we contributed $
450
million principal amount of the notes directly to our company-sponsored pension plans. For additional information, see note 6.
On August 18, 2026, we issued floating rate senior notes with a principal balance of $
325
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 September 1, 2076. Interest on the notes is payable quarterly, beginning December 1, 2026. 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.
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, expires on November 23, 2026 and bears interest at a periodic fixed rate equal to the term SOFR rate, plus an applicable margin based on our then-current credit rating. The second agreement provides revolving credit facilities of $
2.0
billion, expires on November 25, 2029 and bears 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 for both agreements as of September 30, 2026 was
0.70
%.
There were
no
amounts outstanding under these facilities as of September 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025. We expect to be able to renew these agreements in the ordinary course of business prior to their respective maturities. For further discussion see note 9
to the audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Debt Covenants
Our existing debt instruments and credit facilities subject us to certain 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. We were in compliance with these financial covenants for all periods presented.
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, excluding leases, was approximately $
22.4
and $
22.8
billion as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 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.
Other Arrangements
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we entered into
nine
new aircraft leases under an existing financing arrangement. The structure of this arrangement required parent company guarantees of approximately $
1.8
billion.
In 2025 we entered into a real estate transaction for the development of a facility and recognized a financing obligation, which will continue to increase as construction progresses. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 we recognized $
230
and $
132
million, respectively, related to this obligation within
Other Non-Current Liabilities
in our consolidated balance sheets

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 December 2025, Malone et al. v. United Parcel Service Inc. (OH) was certified as a class action in federal court in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The plaintiffs filed this action alleging entitlement to overtime under the Pennsylvania Minimum Wage Act, seeking allegedly unpaid wages. We are vigorously defending ourselves in this matter. We believe that we have 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. In June 2026, the Spanish Supreme Court affirmed the decision. We intend to further appeal. 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.
In November 2025, one of our cargo aircraft was involved in an accident at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport. We maintain industry-standard insurance coverage for this incident and are continuing to assess the impact on the environment and our business. As of September 30, 2026, we recorded contingencies of $
47
million related to environmental remediation in
Other current liabilities
with corresponding insurance recoveries in
Accounts receivable, Net
in our consolidated balance sheets. Amounts recorded as of December 31, 2025 were immaterial. In addition, we are subject to a number of claims, litigation and other proceedings arising out of this incident. It is reasonably possible the resolution of these matters could result in additional charges and related insurance recoveries in future periods, the amount of which cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. We do not believe the financial impact related to these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court (the "Court") issued a ruling invalidating certain tariffs previously imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA"). The Court’s ruling did not address the manner or timing of any potential IEEPA tariff refunds. From time to time, we act as an intermediary for cross‑border shipments and, in certain circumstances, may pay customs tariffs, duties, taxes or other governmental charges on behalf of customers. Such amounts are generally passed through to customers in accordance with our contract terms and may be reflected as outstanding receivables in our consolidated balance sheets. On February 24, 2026, U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") stopped collecting IEEPA tariffs and we stopped paying IEEPA tariffs for new entries. On April 20, 2026, CBP launched Phase 1 of an administrative IEEPA tariff refund process. UPS received approximately $
500
million of IEEPA tariffs paid for entries eligible for refund under this Phase. Entries are being reconciled to original payment for pass-through to our customers. As of

Table of Contents
UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2026, approximately $
270
million of refunds had not yet been passed through to our customers and was included in
Other current liabilities
in our consolidated balance sheet. We continue to monitor developments and evaluate options for pursuing the balance of IEEPA tariff refunds from CBP.
The future impact resulting from this matter will continue to be influenced by multiple factors, including the interpretation and implementation of the Supreme Court’s decision by other courts, potential developments at CBP and other regulatory authorities, as well as potential legislative responses, related litigation and the recoverability of receivables from customers. Any tariffs previously paid that are determined to be recoverable from CBP on behalf of our customers or amounts refundable to customers for tariffs previously paid will be recognized when realization is probable and the amounts can be reasonably estimated.
We will continue to monitor and evaluate the financial statement impact of related developments.
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.

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 SCS. 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. SCS 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.
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 an origin or destination outside the United States. We offer a wide selection of guaranteed day- and time-definite international transportation services supported by our brokerage capabilities that facilitate cross‑border clearance for international shipments. International Package includes our operations in Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA"), Canada and Latin America (together "Americas") and Asia.
SCS
SCS includes our Forwarding, Logistics, digital and other businesses. Our Forwarding and Logistics businesses operate globally, offering 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 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 and benefits for the U.S. Domestic Package segment and compensation, benefits and purchased transportation for the International Package segment, when assessing operating segment performance. These expense categories represent the primary metrics used by the CODM to assess segment performance. For the U.S. Domestic Package segment, compensation and benefits are evaluated separately, whereas for the International Package segment, these categories are assessed in aggregate.
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 during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
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.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Types of Hedges
Commodity Risk Management
The fuel surcharges that we apply in our U.S. Domestic and International Package businesses are the primary means 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.
Outstanding Positions

Our foreign currency exchange rate derivatives are largely comprised of over-the-counter derivatives, which are primarily valued using pricing models that rely on market observable inputs such as yield curves, foreign currency exchange rates and investment forward prices; therefore, these derivatives are classified as Level 2.

INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2026, increased to
26.0
% compared to
18.4
% in the same period of 2025 (
23.9
% year to date compared to
21.1
% in 2025). The year-over-year increase in our effective tax rate in both the quarter and year-to-date periods was mainly driven by the 2025 valuation allowance release described below and a non-deductible goodwill impairment charge recognized during the third quarter of 2026. For additional information, see note 7. In addition, unfavorable changes in our jurisdictional earnings mix are being offset by favorable changes from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and creditable foreign taxes in the U.S.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we released all of the valuation allowance on our U.S. capital loss carryforward, resulting in a year-to-date tax benefit of $
105
million, including $
86
million benefit recognized during the third quarter of 2025.

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 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.
Compensation and benefit costs under these programs primarily consist of severance costs incurred in conjunction with reductions in our workforce. We are primarily accounting for these reductions in workforce 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. In the first quarter of 2026, we offered a voluntary separation program, the Driver Choice Program, to all full-time drivers in the United States. The program election window closed in the first quarter of 2026, final acceptances were determined and communicated to impacted employees in the second and third quarter of 2026, and recognition of separation costs related to the program was substantially complete in the third quarter of 2026.
Accruals for separation costs of $
158
and $
117
million were included in
Other current liabilities
in our consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recognized additional separation costs, including payroll taxes, of approximately $
1.2
billion and made payments of approximately $
1.1
billion.
Other costs incurred in furtherance of our transformation strategy are primarily fees paid to third-party service providers. Any costs incurred as a result of restructuring, exit or disposal activities were not significant and, as period costs, do not give rise to significant restructuring, exit or disposal liabilities.
Transformation strategy costs during the periods presented related to our
Transformation 2.0, Fit to Serve, and

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
During the third quarter and the first nine months of 2026, we took several steps in furtherance of 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. We continued to invest in our healthcare and international markets, including through the integration of Andlauer Healthcare Group ("AHG"), which we acquired in the fourth quarter of 2025 and which has expanded our healthcare logistics network and capabilities, and investments in temperature-controlled cross-dock facilities. We also expanded our hub in Incheon, South Korea, opened a new air hub in the Philippines and a new logistics center in Taiwan, and implemented initiatives to improve ground transit times in Europe.
In September 2026, we also announced our movement to a new global operating structure designed to enable enterprise-wide decision-making, unlock additional synergies across our businesses, accelerate growth opportunities in complex logistics and enhance our customer service.
We reached important milestones in our network and operating transformation efforts, including the second quarter completion of the planned reduction of volume from our largest customer, in which we reduced their volume by more than 50% from 2024 levels. We also continued our focus on revenue quality, and made progress on previously announced initiatives related to workforce optimization, network capacity and last-mile delivery outsourcing of a portion of our Ground Saver product to the United States Postal Service ("USPS").
In addition, our Network of the Future initiative is enhancing the efficiency of our U.S. Domestic Package network through automation and operational sort consolidation. Our related
Network Reconfiguration
initiative has expanded our Network of the Future initiative and allowed us to further consolidate facilities, vehicles, aircraft and workforce, as well as execute an end-to-end process redesign through our
Efficiency Reimagined
initiative. Through these initiatives, in the first nine months of 2026, we closed 47 leased or owned buildings, 46 of which have been permanently closed, and recorded approximately $1.2 billion in separation costs related to our previously announced voluntary separation program, the Driver Choice Program. See
Supplemental Information - Items Affecting Comparability
for additional discussion.
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 ("SCS").
Our financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 reflected the impact of a complex macroeconomic environment, including evolving trade policies, fuel price impacts and network costs arising from the Middle East conflict, as well as the successful execution of our strategic and transformation initiatives described above. Taking these factors into account, in the three months ended September 30, 2026, revenue and operating profit grew, and in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, revenue grew, in our global small package operations.
In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling invalidating certain tariffs previously imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA"). Under the first phase of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") administrative refund process, UPS received approximately $500 million of IEEPA tariffs paid for entries eligible for refund. As of September 30, 2026, approximately $270 million of these refunds had not yet been passed through to our customers and was included in
Other current liabilities
in our consolidated balance sheet. For additional information on tariffs, see note 10 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

•
All of our segments grew revenue during the quarter and year-to-date periods of 2026.
•
Revenue increased in the quarter and year-to-date periods due to higher fuel surcharge revenue, benefits from our focus on revenue quality and higher-yielding volume, and revenue from the acquisition of AHG and additional healthcare growth, partially offset by lower revenue associated with our planned average daily volume declines. The year-to-date period was impacted by volume decreases in Mail Innovations.
•
Average daily package volume in our global small package operations decreased in both the quarter and year-to-date periods primarily due to the planned volume reduction from our largest customer, revenue quality actions affecting certain other e-commerce customers, and the impact of trade policy changes on certain international trade lanes. These declines were partially offset by continued average daily package volume growth from SMBs who leveraged our Digital Access Program ("DAP").
•
Operating expenses increased during the quarter and year-to-date periods, primarily due to higher purchased transportation and fuel costs, higher costs for third-party aircraft leases, net of vendor recoveries, incurred to address capacity constraints following the permanent grounding and retirement of our MD-11 fleet in the fourth quarter of 2025, and charter utilization expenses associated with network disruptions resulting from the Middle East conflict. Employee separation costs related to the Driver Choice Program, mainly incurred in the second quarter, and additional labor costs in the first quarter of 2026 associated with outsourcing our Ground Saver product, also drove the year-to-date increases. The current period was also impacted by a goodwill impairment charge within our Healthcare Logistics and Distribution ("HLD") reporting unit and a prior year gain from sale-leaseback transactions that did not recur in 2026. These increases were partially offset by benefits achieved from the execution of our
Network Reconfiguration
and
Efficiency Reimagined
initiatives, as well as gains on sales of real estate and aircraft parts.
•
As a result of the factors described above, consolidated operating profit decreased $60 million for the quarter (down $1.4 billion year to date), with operating margin decreasing 80 basis points to 7.6% (down 230 basis points to 5.9%, year to date).
•
Third quarter net income was $1.2 billion and diluted earnings per share were $1.37 ($2.6 billion and $3.09 per diluted share, year to date). Non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share for the third quarter were $1.69 ($4.52 per diluted share, year to date) after adjusting for the after-tax impacts of:
◦
Transformation Strategy Costs of $130 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, in the third quarter ($1.1 billion, or $1.26 per diluted share, year to date), primarily from employee separation costs related to the Driver Choice Program. For additional information, see note 16 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.
◦
Goodwill and Asset Impairment Charges of $182 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the third quarter, related to a reporting unit within SCS. For additional information, see note 7 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We supplement the presentation of operating profit, operating margin, other income (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 initiatives within our transformation strategy. Our transformation strategy initiatives 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.
Various circumstances precipitated these initiatives, including identification and prioritization of certain 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 has included the following initiatives:
Transformation 2.0: We reduced spans and layers of management, reviewed and refined our business portfolio and invested in certain technologies to reduce costs, increase visibility and reduce reliance on legacy systems. Costs associated with Transformation 2.0 consisted primarily of compensation and benefit costs related to reductions in our workforce and fees paid to third-party consultants. This initiative was completed in 2025.
Fit to Serve: We undertook our Fit to Serve initiative to right-size our business to create a more efficient operating model that was more responsive to market dynamics through a workforce reduction, primarily within management. This initiative was completed in 2025.
Network Reconfiguration
and
Efficiency Reimagined
: Our Network of the Future initiative is enhancing the efficiency of our U.S. Domestic Package network through automation and operational sort consolidation. In connection with our strategic execution of planned volume declines from our largest customer, we began our
Network Reconfiguration
initiative in the fourth quarter of 2024, which was an expansion of Network of the Future and under which we are further consolidating facilities, vehicles, aircraft and our workforce, as well as, executing an end-to-end process redesign through our
Efficiency Reimagined
initiative. Through these initiatives, in the first nine months of 2026, we closed 47 leased or owned buildings, 46 of which have been permanently closed and achieved approximately $1.8 billion of program benefits. We expect to achieve nearly $3 billion in full year 2026 benefits from these initiatives.
As a part of these initiatives, we expect non-GAAP adjusted operating expense to exclude between $1.4 and $1.6 billion in cost for the full year 2026, primarily related to employee separation costs and third-party consulting fees, of which $1.2 billion is related to the Driver Choice Program. As of September 30, 2026, we had incurred $1.4 billion in costs during 2026, and $1.9 billion in total costs, as a part of these initiatives. While the planned volume reductions from our largest customer were completed in the second quarter of 2026, our
Efficiency Reimagined
initiative is not expected to conclude until the fourth quarter of 2027.
We do not consider the related costs to be ordinary because each program involves separate and distinct activities that span multiple periods, and such costs are not expected to drive incremental revenue. These initiatives exceed ordinary, ongoing efforts to enhance our business performance and profitability.
In addition, we have incurred other costs and benefits associated with our
Network
Reconfiguration
initiative, including early asset retirement, lease-related costs and gains from sales of real estate. It is our intention to exit or abandon leases, sell property and transfer or dispose of equipment associated with closed facilities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we also recorded gains on sales of real estate related to this initiative. See note 5 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Gains and Losses on Sales of Assets
We recorded non-GAAP adjustments for the impairment of our MD-11 aircraft recognized in the fourth quarter of 2025. As a result of subsequent sales of related previously impaired parts associated with these aircraft, we recognized gains on sales during 2026. We supplement our presentation with non-GAAP adjusted financial measures that exclude the impact of these gains, as we believe such treatment is consistent with how the related impairment was initially presented.
Net Loss (Gain) on Divestitures
We exclude the impact of gains and losses related to business divestitures. We do not consider these transactions to be a component of our ongoing operations, nor do we consider their impact when evaluating business unit operating performance, resource allocation decisions or incentive compensation award determinations.
Goodwill and Asset Impairments
We exclude the impact of goodwill and certain asset impairment charges. We do not consider these charges when evaluating business unit operating performance, resource allocation decisions or incentive compensation award determinations. For more information regarding goodwill and asset impairment, see note 7 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 that were not expected to be realized. As a result of property sales during 2025, we realized these capital losses. We supplement our presentation with non-GAAP adjusted financial measures that exclude the impact of the reversals of the valuation allowances against these deferred tax assets as we believe such treatment is consistent with how the valuation allowance was initially established.
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 in any period is calculated as non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses divided by total volume. 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 business unit operating performance, resource allocation decisions or incentive compensation award determinations, we believe this is the appropriate metric on which to base reviews and evaluations of the efficiency of our operational performance.

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 12 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. Our allocation methodologies are refined periodically, or as necessary to reflect changes in our businesses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, there were no significant changes to our allocation methodologies.
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 September 30, 2026, we had one aircraft temporarily idled for approximately seven 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 this aircraft to return to operational service during the fourth quarter of 2026. Following the permanent grounding and retirement of our MD-11 fleet in the fourth quarter of 2025, we increased third-party lease utilization to address capacity constraints. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we took delivery of
nine
Boeing 767-300 aircraft, which were accounted for as finance leases, and began to reduce the associated third-party aircraft leases.
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 fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Testing goodwill for impairment requires that we make a number of significant assumptions, including assumptions related to projections of amounts and timing of future revenues, costs, capital expenditures, working capital, our cost of capital, long-term growth rates, market comparables, discount rates and other factors. We are also required to make assumptions relating to our overall business and operating strategy, and the regulatory and market environment.
We conducted our most recent annual goodwill impairment testing as of July 1, 2026 using both qualitative and quantitative methods. Our quantitative tests utilize a combination of the income and market approaches. In developing our valuation assumptions underlying the annual impairment testing, we determined that the estimated fair value of our HLD reporting unit within SCS was adversely impacted by an increase in the cost of capital, driven by higher discount rates from lower financial performance within our European healthcare logistics operations. The results of our testing using these revised assumptions indicated that the carrying value of our HLD reporting unit exceeded its estimated fair value. At the July 1, 2026 testing date, approximately $1.6 billion of our $5.8 billion consolidated goodwill balance was represented by our HLD reporting unit.
As a result, for the third quarter of 2026, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $182 million within

in our statement of consolidated income. For additional information on goodwill, see note 7 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Comparative results were impacted by one more operating day in 2026 compared to 2025. The growth in rates and product mix and fuel surcharge shown above includes contributions from our air cargo product, which is measured by dimensional weight rather than on a per piece basis and therefore does not impact the volume and revenue per piece discussions below.

UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
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, primarily due to lower volume from our largest customer, reflecting the impact of planned volume reductions completed in the second quarter of 2026. The overall declines were partially offset by continued growth from SMBs who leveraged our Digital Access Program ("DAP").
Residential ("business-to-consumer") and commercial ("business-to-business") volume declined. Business-to-consumer volume decreased 2.1% for the quarter (down 5.4% year to date) as a result of the planned volume declines discussed above, partially offset by growth in the technology and healthcare sectors. Business-to-business volume decreased 4.7% for the quarter (down 4.3% year to date) primarily driven by the retail sector, partially offset by continued growth in the technology sector.
Air average daily volume decreased 6.7% for the quarter (down 6.0% year to date), driven by the volume reductions from our largest customer, partially offset by growth from SMB customers and the healthcare sector.
Ground average daily volume decreased 2.7% for the quarter (down 4.8% year to date), driven primarily by the residential and commercial volume reductions discussed above. The decline was partially offset by residential volume growth from SMB customers.
Revenue Per Piece
Revenue per piece increased 6.1% during the quarter (up 7.4% year to date), driven by an average 5.9% net increase in base and accessorial rates implemented throughout 2025, higher fuel surcharges and favorable customer mix.
Fuel Surcharges
Our contracts include provisions designed to help offset cost volatility resulting from changes in fuel prices. The fuel surcharges represent one of many components of our pricing structure that can impact our overall revenue and revenue per piece. Revenue from these surcharges contributed 2.9% and 2.6% to the change in revenue for the quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively, primarily as a result of increases in fuel prices, partially offset by the impact of lower volume.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased for both the quarter and year-to-date periods as a result of higher facility and transportation expenses, separation costs related to the Driver Choice Program within compensation and benefits and higher fuel costs. These increases were partially offset by cost reductions from the execution of our
Network Reconfiguration
and
Efficiency Reimagined
initiatives.
The change in operating expenses included the following:
•
Compensation and benefits expense decreased $336 million for the quarter (up $136 million year to date). The decrease for the quarter was driven by fewer labor hours resulting from the outsourcing of our Ground Saver product, lower volume from our largest customer, reductions in headcount as we executed our
Network Reconfiguration
and
Efficiency Reimagined
initiatives and lower pension and health and welfare costs within our U.S. union workforce. These decreases were partially offset by contractual wage rate increases and higher workers' compensation costs, reflecting unfavorable development in prior year claims and higher current year claim costs. The year-to-date increase also reflected separation costs related to the Driver Choice Program, most of which were recognized in the second quarter, and additional labor costs in the first quarter associated with outsourcing our Ground Saver product.
•
Facility and transportation related costs increased $661 million for the quarter (up $1.8 billion year to date), primarily due to higher fees paid to USPS associated with outsourcing our Ground Saver product, higher fuel costs charged to us by third-party transportation providers and higher third-party aircraft lease expense, net of vendor recoveries, to address capacity constraints resulting from fourth quarter 2025 aircraft retirements.
•
Other expenses decreased $16 million for the quarter (up $186 million year to date). The decrease for the quarter was driven by gains on sales of real estate and aircraft parts, partially offset by higher fuel costs and higher auto liability costs, reflecting unfavorable development in prior year claims and higher current year claim costs. The year-to-date increase also reflected higher expenses associated with growth in DAP.

Non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses exclude transformation strategy costs of $171 million and $302 million in the third quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively and $1.4 billion and $400 million in the 2026 and 2025 year-to-date periods, respectively. Third quarter 2026 non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses also exclude $43 million of gains from the sale of certain previously impaired aircraft parts. Transformation strategy costs in the second and third quarters of 2026 primarily consist of separation costs related to the Driver Choice Program. Transformation strategy costs during the year-to-date 2026 and 2025 periods relate to our
Network Reconfiguration
and
Efficiency Reimagined
initiatives. The 2025 period also included costs related to our Transformation 2.0 and Fit to Serve programs. These primarily consisted of 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 and other costs and gains excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures.
Cost per piece increased 4.1% during the quarter (up 10.2% year to date) primarily driven by higher fees paid to USPS associated with outsourcing our Ground Saver product, higher fuel costs, contractual wage rate increases and the impact of lower average daily volume and stops. The year-to-date increase also includes the impact of separation costs related to the Driver Choice Program, most of which were recognized in the second quarter. These increases were partially offset by the impact of increased productivity and operational efficiencies from our
Network Reconfiguration
efforts and gains on sales of assets. Non-GAAP adjusted cost per piece increased 5.5% during the quarter (up 7.7% year to date).

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Volume
Average daily volume decreased for both domestic and export products for the quarter and year-to-date periods, primarily in Europe, the Middle East and Africa ("EMEA") due to geopolitical tensions.
Domestic average daily volume decreased 9.1% for the quarter (down 7.7% year to date) due primarily to the impact of our revenue quality actions in EMEA as we shifted our focus toward premium sectors.
Export average daily volume decreased 8.3% for the quarter (down 6.1% year to date) led by declines in EMEA intra-regional volumes due primarily to our revenue quality actions and the continued Middle East conflict. Total U.S. import average daily volume also decreased in both periods as changes in trade policies, including de minimis exclusions, continued to affect customer demand and shipping patterns, although the impact began to moderate in September as the business lapped the initial implementation. These declines were partially offset by higher demand on China-to-U.S. and Asia-to-Asia trade lanes for both periods.
Revenue Per Piece
Revenue per piece increased 15.0% for the quarter (up 14.9% year to date), primarily driven by fuel surcharges, revenue quality actions and favorable trade lane mix. Foreign currency movements partially offset the increase for the quarter, but favorably impacted revenue per piece for the year-to-date period.
Domestic revenue per piece increased 9.9% for the quarter (up 12.9% year to date) primarily driven by fuel surcharges, surge fees and shifts in customer mix, mainly in EMEA and Canada.
Export revenue per piece increased 15.9% for the quarter (up 14.6% year to date) primarily driven by fuel surcharges, favorable trade lane mix, particularly in Asia, and revenue quality actions across Asia and EMEA.
Fuel Surcharges
Our contracts include provisions designed to help offset cost volatility resulting from changes in fuel prices. The fuel surcharges represent one of many components of our pricing structure that can impact our overall revenue and revenue per piece. Revenue from these surcharges contributed 8.4% and 6.2% to the change in revenue for the quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively, primarily as a result of increases in fuel prices.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses increased $264 million for the quarter (up $1.1 billion year to date), including unfavorable currency impacts in the year-to-date period. Integrated air and ground network costs increased $274 million for the quarter (up $875 million year to date) reflecting higher fuel expense and increased charter and lease utilization expenses, net of vendor recoveries resulting from network disruptions.
Non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses exclude transformation strategy costs of $0 and $15 million in the third quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $4 and $38 million in the year-to-date periods, respectively. Transformation strategy costs during both 2026 and 2025 periods relate to our
Network Reconfiguration
and
Efficiency Reimagined
initiatives. The 2025 period also included costs related to our Transformation 2.0 and Fit to Serve programs, which primarily consisted of compensation and benefits costs and fees paid to outside professional service providers. See

Revenue
Total revenue in Supply Chain Solutions increased for the quarter and year-to-date periods.
Within our Forwarding businesses, revenue increased $128 million for the quarter (up $117 million year to date) driven by higher international air freight rates.
Within our Logistics businesses, revenue increased $235 million for the quarter (up $136 million year to date). This was primarily due to an increase of $224 million for the quarter (up $643 million year to date) within our healthcare logistics business as a result of our fourth quarter 2025 acquisition of AHG, as well as higher volume driven by additional healthcare logistics customer demand. On a year-to-date basis, these increases were partially offset by a decline in Mail Innovations revenue of $572 million.
Revenue from our other businesses within SCS increased $96 million for the quarter (up $237 million year to date), primarily driven by growth within our digital businesses.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses increased for the quarter and year-to-date periods due to impacts from the acquisition of AHG, higher healthcare logistics volume due to customer demand, higher market rates charged for third-party Forwarding transportation, the 2025 periods' $330 million gain from sale-leaseback transactions involving real estate that did not recur, as well as a $182 million goodwill impairment charge within our HLD reporting unit. On a year-to-date basis, these increases were partially offset by lower Mail Innovations expenses resulting from volume declines.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Compensation and Benefits
Compensation expense decreased $56 million for the quarter (down $240 million year to date). The principal factors contributing to the changes were
•
Direct labor costs decreased $38 million for the quarter (down $346 million year to date). Lower headcount and volume declines, as well as the impact of fewer hours, decreased direct labor costs by $182 million for the quarter (down $872 million year to date). These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $117 million for the quarter (up $532 million year to date) in contractual wage rate increases and additional labor costs in the first quarter of 2026 associated with outsourcing our Ground Saver product.
•
Management compensation costs decreased $34 million for the quarter primarily due to lower incentive compensation and lower overall headcount. Management compensation costs increased $111 million year to date primarily reflecting higher incentive compensation expense, partially offset by the impact of lower overall headcount.
Benefits costs decreased $255 million for the quarter (up $675 million year to date). Employee benefits decreased $163 million for the quarter due to decreases in separation costs. Employee benefits were up $836 million year to date primarily from separation costs associated with the Driver Choice Program. Multiemployer pension and other postretirement benefits costs, paid time off, payroll taxes, health and welfare and other costs decreased $126 million for the quarter (down $278 million year to date) primarily due to the impact of lower overall headcount. Workers' compensation expense increased $34 million for the quarter (up $117 million year to date) due to an increase in current year claim costs and unfavorable development in prior year claims, partially offset by the impact of a reduction in overall hours worked.
Non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses for the quarter and year-to-date periods of 2026 and 2025 exclude the impact of costs incurred under our Transformation 2.0, Fit to Serve and
Network Reconfiguration
and
Efficiency Reimagined
initiatives, and primarily consisted of employee benefits expense and related payroll tax expense. Compensation and benefits expenses, including related payroll tax expense, under these initiatives were $113 million and $284 million in the third quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $1.3 billion and $358 million in the 2026 and 2025 year-to-date periods, respectively. See
Supplemental Information - Items Affecting Comparability
for additional discussion of items excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures.
Repairs and Maintenance
Repairs and maintenance costs increased $6 million for the quarter (up $100 million year to date) with the year-to-date increase primarily driven by higher aircraft maintenance costs and routine repair expenses for buildings and facilities.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the quarter and year-to-date periods due to capital asset additions and the impact of building closures, which resulted in shortened useful lives and accelerated depreciation, as well as higher amortization costs related to software investments and the impact of amortization of assets from the acquisition of AHG in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Purchased Transportation
Third-party transportation expense charged to us by air, ocean and ground carriers increased $812 million for the quarter (up $1.5 billion year to date). The changes were primarily driven by:
•
Ground transportation expense increased $577 million for the quarter (up $915 million year to date) primarily due to an increase in fees paid to the USPS associated with outsourcing our Ground Saver product and increases in expense related to our digital businesses due to overall growth.
•
Air carrier expense increased $124 million for the quarter (up $377 million year to date) from additional leased aircraft expense to address temporary capacity constraints resulting from aircraft retirements, net of vendor recoveries for costs incurred during the fourth quarter 2025, an increase in air freight market rates, and additional charter utilization associated with network disruptions from the Middle East conflict.
•
Rail and other expense increased $111 million for the quarter (up $219 million year to date) primarily resulting from higher fuel surcharges.

UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Fuel Expense
Fuel expense reflects costs for fuel we purchase directly for use in our operations. Fuel expense increased $473 million for the quarter (up $1.1 billion year to date) mainly attributable to higher prices for jet fuel, diesel and gasoline, partially offset by the impact of lower volume. Fuel surcharges from third-party transportation providers are recorded within purchased transportation.
Other Occupancy
Other occupancy expense increased $24 million for the quarter (up $104 million year to date) primarily due to new lease expenses, including leases acquired in the AHG acquisition, and higher property taxes. The year-to-date increase also reflected higher costs associated with weather-related events.
Other Expenses
Other expenses increased $455 million for the quarter (up $615 million year to date) primarily due to a $304 million decrease in gains ($265 million year to date) largely associated with 2025 sale-leaseback transactions that did not recur and the $182 million goodwill impairment charge within our HLD reporting unit, partially offset by an increase in gains on sales of real estate in 2026. For additional information on this goodwill impairment charge, see note 7 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements. DAP expenses increased $42 million for the quarter (up $134 million year to date) due to business growth, auto liability insurance increased $40 million for the quarter (up $62 million year to date) due to higher claims and unfavorable development in prior year claims. Additionally, year-to-date, technology expense increased $82 million due to higher software costs and application fees, and credit losses increased $25 million as a result of changes in the composition of our accounts receivable. These increases were partially mitigated by $130 million in gains for the quarter ($199 million year to date) from sales of aircraft parts, which offset higher air carrier expense of $124 million for the quarter ($377 million year to date) included in purchased transportation.
In 2026, non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses exclude the $182 million HLD goodwill impairment charge, transformation strategy costs, consisting of fees paid to outside professional service providers, and $43 million in gains on sales of certain previously impaired aircraft parts. In 2025, non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses exclude the impact of the divestiture of a business within SCS and transformation strategy costs for fees paid to outside professional service providers.
We expect to incur additional other expenses under our
Network Reconfiguration
and
Efficiency Reimagined
initiatives during the remainder of 2026. See
Supplemental Information - Items Affecting Comparability
for additional discussion on the types, amounts and timing thereof.

illion for the quarter (up $91 million year to date), primarily driven by an increase in pension income due to higher expected returns on pension assets, partially offset by higher interest cost related to overall plan growth and changes in demographic assumptions.
For the 2025 year-to-date period, investment income and other included a $19 million asset impairment charge related to an equity method investment. Excluding the impact of this charge, non-GAAP adjusted investment income and other increased by $72 million.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased $2 million for the quarter, primarily reflecting the timing of debt issuances, and increased $76 million year to date, primarily due to higher average outstanding debt balances and higher interest cost on finance leases.

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 September 30, 2026, we had $6.8 billion in cash and cash equivalents. 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, transformation strategy costs, including voluntary separation programs, debt obligations and 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 increased $838 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, primarily due to:
•
Favorable changes in accounts payable reflecting increased days payable outstanding.
•
Lower cash contributions to our company-sponsored, defined benefit pension and postretirement medical plans. In August 2026 we made $450 million in discretionary non-cash pension contributions in the form of company-issued notes. See note 6 and note 9 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.
•
Approximately $270 million in cash received from CBP in 2026 related to the pass-through IEEPA tariff refunds that are refundable to customers. See note 10 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.
•
Lower income tax payments, primarily due to a 2024 tax payment deferred into 2025 resulting from Hurricane Helene relief that did not recur in 2026.
These increases were partially offset by:
•
A reduction in net income during the 2026 period.
•
An increase in accounts receivable from changes in collection of aged receivables, including $2.7 billion from our accounts receivable factoring program.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
As of September 30, 2026, approximately $2.3 billion of our total worldwide holdings of cash and cash equivalents were held by foreign subsidiaries. The amount of cash and cash equivalents 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 and planned capital expenditures, pension contributions, transformation strategy costs, debt obligations and shareowner returns. All cash and cash equivalents 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.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, total capital expenditures decreased, primarily driven by reduced spending on buildings, facilities and plant equipment, lower technology infrastructure spending as a result of prior-year project completions and non-recurring investments, reduced spending on vehicles due to lower package volume and a focus on routine replacements for vehicles at the end of their useful lives and decreased aircraft expenditures due to aircraft deliveries under finance lease arrangements. These decreases were partially offset as we continued to invest in our Network of the Future and other operational efficiency initiatives.
Proceeds from the disposal of businesses, property, plant and equipment also decreased. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, proceeds were $473 million and $585 million, respectively. For additional information see note 5 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.
Cash paid for acquisitions in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was attributable to reacquired development area rights for The UPS Store. In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, cash paid for acquisitions of $479 million was primarily related to the acquisition of Frigo-Trans and Biotech & Pharma Logistics ("Frigo-Trans") and reacquired development area rights for The UPS Store.
Non-cash investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 included $98 and $64 million, respectively, of construction-in-progress related to the capitalization of construction costs in connection with a build-to-suit financing obligation.

We have commitments for the purchase of equipment, real estate and vehicles to provide for the replacement and enhancement of existing capacity and targeted growth. These investments also provide for maintenance of buildings, facilities and equipment. Our 2026 investment program anticipates investments in technology initiatives and enhanced network capabilities. We expect our capital expenditures will be approximately $3.0 billion for the full year of 2026, of which approximately 80% 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, business strategy and financing alternatives.

We did not repurchase any shares under our stock repurchase program during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
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 paid a quarterly cash dividend of $1.64 per share in 2026 and 2025.
Issuances of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 consisted of fixed-rate and floating-rate senior notes of varying maturities totaling $1.3 billion. A portion of the fixed-rate senior notes was contributed directly to our company-sponsored pension plans as a noncash financing activity, resulting in financing cash proceeds from debt issuances of $870 million. See note 6 and note 9 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information. Repayments of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 consisted of $133 million of senior notes and finance lease obligations. Issuances of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 consisted of fixed-rate and floating-rate senior notes of varying maturities totaling $4.2 billion. Repayments of debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 consisted of $1.1 billion of senior notes and finance lease obligations.
The amount of commercial paper outstanding fluctuates based on daily liquidity needs. As of September 30, 2026, we had no outstanding balances under our U.S. or European commercial paper programs. The average balance outstanding of commercial paper during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 was $47 and $63 million, respectively, and the average interest rates were 3.49% and 4.01%, respectively. The amount of commercial paper outstanding under these programs in the remainder of 2026 is expected to fluctuate. As of September 30, 2026, we had $500 million of fixed-rate senior notes currently outstanding that mature in 2026. We intend to repay 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.
Cash flows from other financing activities included cash proceeds of $62 million related to collections from customers on accounts receivable that had been factored in 2026. This reflected $121 million of obligations related to factored receivables that were not remitted to third-party purchasers as of September 30, 2026, partially offset by $59 million repaid from prior-period balances. This program began in third quarter of 2025.

Except as disclosed above and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, we do not have off-balance sheet financing arrangements, including variable interest entities, which we believe could have a material impact on our financial condition or liquidity.
