UNITED PARCEL SERVICE INC

The following is a summary of the significant sources (uses) of cash from operating activities (in millions):

(1)Represents depreciation and amortization, gains and losses on derivative transactions and foreign currency exchange, deferred income taxes, allowances for expected credit losses, amortization of operating lease assets, pension and postretirement medical benefit plan (income) expense, stock compensation expense, changes in casualty self-insurance reserves, goodwill and other asset impairment charges and other non-cash items.

Net cash from operating activities decreased $1.0 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from the prior year period primarily due to a reduction in net income and the impact of the decline in business in 2023.

Additional impacts to cash flows from operating activities included the following:

•An increase in income taxes payable during the 2024 period, compared to excess tax payments having been made in the prior year period.

•A prior year period payment for deferred employer payroll taxes that did not repeat.

•Partially offset by higher 401(k) plan contributions during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

As of September 30, 2024, approximately $2.5 billion of our total worldwide holdings of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were held by foreign subsidiaries. The amount of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities 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, planned capital expenditures, pension contributions, planned acquisitions, transformation strategy costs, debt obligations and planned shareowner returns. All cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities 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.
