Our primary sources (uses) of cash from investing activities were as follows (in millions):

Total Capital Expenditures$(876)$(1,035)

Net (purchases) sales and maturities of marketable securities$(56)$2,646
Acquisitions, net of cash acquired$(478)$(44)
Other investing activities$(10)$(14)

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, total capital expenditures decreased compared to the 2024 period, primarily due to:

Reduced spending on vehicles due to a focus on end-of-life replacements.

Decreased aircraft expenditures driven by fewer deliveries and reduced aircraft payments during the quarter.

These decreases were partially offset by increased spending on buildings, facilities, plant equipment and information technology, as we execute our Network of the Future initiative.

Proceeds from the disposal of businesses, property, plant and equipment were higher primarily due to the impact of a real estate sale-lease back transaction executed during the quarter.

Changes in marketable securities were largely driven by the liquidation of our portfolio of $2.6 billion during 2024 to provide additional resources for short-term and strategic operating needs.

Cash paid for acquisitions in the 2025 period was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Frigo-Trans, and reacquired development area rights for The UPS Store. In the 2024 period, cash paid for acquisitions related to the purchase of development areas for The UPS Store.

We have commitments for pending acquisitions and for the purchase of aircraft, vehicles, equipment and real estate to provide for the replacement and enhancement of existing capacity and targeted growth. Our 2025 investment program anticipates investments in technology initiatives and enhanced network capabilities, including approximately $500 million of projects to support our environmental sustainability goals. It also provides for maintenance of buildings, facilities and equipment and replacement of certain aircraft within our fleet. We currently expect our capital expenditures will be approximately $3.5 billion in 2025, of which approximately 80 percent 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, and financing alternatives.
