UNITED PARCEL SERVICE INC

Our primary sources (uses) of cash from financing activities were as follows (in millions, except per share data):

We did not repurchase any shares under our stock repurchase program during first quarter of 2024, and we do not currently anticipate repurchasing any shares during the remainder of the year. We repurchased 4.1 million shares of class B common stock for $750 million during the first quarter of 2023. For additional information on our share repurchase activities, see note 12 to the unaudited, consolidated financial statements.

The declaration of dividends is subject to the discretion of the Board and depends on various factors, including our net income, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects and other relevant factors. In the first quarter, we increased our quarterly cash dividend from $1.62 to $1.63 per share.

There were no issuances of debt during the quarter. Issuances of debt during the first quarter of 2023 consisted of fixed and floating rate senior notes of varying maturities totaling $2.5 billion.

Repayments of debt during the quarter consisted of $2.2 billion of short- and long-term commercial paper as well as scheduled principal payments on our finance lease obligations. In the first quarter of 2023, we made scheduled principal payments on our finance lease obligations and repaid certain amounts assumed in the Bomi Group acquisition.

As of March 31, 2024, we had $1.5 billion of fixed-rate senior notes outstanding that mature in 2024. We intend to repay or refinance these amounts when due. We consider the overall fixed and floating interest rate mix of our portfolio and the related overall cost of borrowing when planning for future issuances and non-scheduled repayments of debt.

The amount of commercial paper outstanding fluctuates based on daily liquidity needs. The following is a summary of our commercial paper program (in millions):

As of March 31, 2024, we had no outstanding balances under our U.S. or European commercial paper programs.

The variation in cash received from common stock issuances primarily resulted from activity within the UPS 401(k) Savings Plan and our employee stock purchase plan in both the current and comparative period.

Other financing activities includes cash used to repurchase shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations on vested employee stock awards. Cash outflows for this purpose were $177 and $363 million for the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease was driven by changes in required repurchase amounts.

Except as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, we do not have guarantees or other off-balance sheet financing arrangements, including variable interest entities, which we believe could have a material impact on our financial condition or liquidity.
