Current report
Also as previously disclosed, in the first half of 2025 we insourced our former SurePost product, using the UPS network for final mile delivery, and have since replaced it with Ground Saver, a new domestic economy service meant to complement our array of products used by our customers. The insourcing of this product pressured our operating results in both the second quarter and first half of 2025 as pickup and delivery costs were higher than last year. During the second quarter of 2025, we took pricing actions to manage Ground Saver volume and we are working to continue to reduce our costs related to this product.
Current report
In addition, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur other costs and benefits associated with our Network Reconfiguration programs and anticipated lower volumes, including early asset retirement, lease related costs and gains from the sale of properties. It is our intention to exit or abandon leases, sell property and transfer or dispose of equipment associated with closed facilities. During the first half of 2025, we incurred $37 million in accelerated depreciation and asset retirement obligations related to closed facilities and abandoned equipment and $34 million in gains on sale of properties. We expect the costs associated with these actions may increase should we determine to close additional buildings.
Current report
Global trade policy changes including pending and enacted tariffs and the de minimis exclusions took effect during the second quarter of 2025 and resulted in shifting trade lane volumes, particularly reducing volumes on our China to U.S. lane, pressuring our International segment margins during the second quarter. Partially offsetting this decline was growth on other trade lanes, including from China to the rest of the world and the rest of the world into the U.S.
Current report
During the second quarter and first half of 2025, we continued to return cash to shareholders. We completed our previously announced $1.0 billion of share repurchases in the first half of 2025 and paid dividends of $1.64 per share and $3.28 per share in the second quarter and year-to-date periods of 2025, respectively.
Current report
•Revenue declined in both the quarter and year-to-date periods, driven by the impact of the third quarter 2024 divestiture of Coyote, which contributed $539 million of revenue in the second quarter of 2024 ($1.1 billion year to date in 2024), our strategic execution of planned volume declines from our largest customer, and macroeconomic conditions. These reductions were partially offset by increases in air cargo revenue in our global small package operations and the impact of revenue quality efforts.
Current report
•Operating expenses decreased in both the quarter and year-to-date periods, driven by decreases in purchased transportation and fuel expenses, primarily attributable to the impact of the 2024 divestiture of Coyote and the insourcing of our Ground Saver product. These decreases were partially offset by increases in compensation and benefits and other costs associated with pick up and delivery expenses driven by the insourcing of our Ground Saver Product and increases in purchased transportation rates within Mail Innovations.
Current report
•Operating profit and operating margin decreased for the quarter (flat year to date) primarily due to lower volumes in the U.S. Domestic Package segment, increased pickup and delivery expense related to insourcing our Ground Saver product and shifting international trade lanes related to trade policy challenges, partially offset by the impact of revenue quality efforts.
Current report
◦transformation strategy costs of $57 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, in the second quarter ($101 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, year to date);
Current report
◦gain on divestiture of $15 million, or ($0.02) per diluted share, in both the second quarter and year to date;
Current report
In addition, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur other costs and benefits associated with our Network Reconfiguration programs and anticipated lower volumes, including early asset retirement, lease related costs and gains from the sale of properties. It is our intention to exit or abandon leases, sell property and transfer or dispose of equipment associated with closed facilities. During the first half of 2025, we incurred $37 million in accelerated depreciation and asset retirement obligations related to closed facilities and abandoned equipment and $34 million in gains on sale of properties. We expect the costs associated with these actions may increase should we determine to close additional buildings.
Current report
One-Time Payment for International Regulatory Matter
Current report
We exclude the impact of a payment to settle an international tax regulatory matter from the second quarter of 2024. We do not believe this payment was a component of our ongoing operations and we do not expect this or similar payments to recur. For more information regarding this matter, see note 10 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Current report
Gain and Losses Related to Divestitures
Current report
We exclude the impact of gains (or losses) related to the divestiture of certain businesses. We do not consider these transactions when evaluating the operating performance of our business units, making decisions to allocate resources or in determining incentive compensation awards. For more information regarding gains and losses related to divestitures, see note 18 to the unaudited, consolidated financial statements.
Current report
Ground average daily volume decreased 6.6% for the quarter (down 4.6% year to date) driven by residential volume decreases of 10.0% for the quarter (down 7.9% year to date) which were primarily due to pricing actions we took, as described above.
Current report
Revenue per piece increased 5.5% for the quarter (up 5.0% year to date) due to favorable trends in customer and product mix as a result of the pricing actions discussed above. Package characteristics and fuel surcharges also contributed to the increase in revenue per piece.
Current report
Operating expenses and non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses were flat for both the quarter and year-to-date periods as a result of the decline in volume, and the following:
Current report
•Ground and rail transportation decreased $406 million for the quarter (down $537 million year to date) driven by the insourcing of our Ground Saver product.
Current report
•Air cargo expense increased $180 million for the quarter (up $258 million year to date) as we fully onboarded our contract with the USPS during the fourth quarter of 2024.
Current report
Comparative results were impacted by one less operating day in the first half of 2025. Global trade policy changes including enacted tariffs and the de minimis exclusions took effect during the second quarter and resulted in shifting trade lane volumes and reduced segment margin.
Current report
Domestic average daily volume increased 1.5% for the quarter and 3.1% year to date primarily driven byretail customers in Canada.
Current report
Export average daily volume increased 6.1% for the quarter and 7.7% year to date due to SMB and enterprise customers in Europe, the Indian sub-continent, Middle East and Africa ("EMEAI") and retail customers in the Americas trade lanes. The Asia trade lanes were impacted by U.S. trade policy changes during the quarter, which resulted in adecline on our China-to-US trade lane. This decline was partially offset by growth on our China to the rest of the world trade lanes, and from the rest of world into the U.S.
Current report
Domestic revenue per piece increased 6.3% for the quarter (up 2.5% year to date) primarily driven by changes in EMEAI customer mix.
Current report
Export revenue per piece declined 4.5% both for the quarter and year-to-date periods, primarily due to declines in demand-related surcharges and an unfavorable shift in product mix.
Current report
Total revenue in Supply Chain Solutions decreased for both the quarter and year-to-date periods primarily due to a decline in Forwarding and Logistics revenue, partially offset by an increase in our other businesses.
Current report
Within our Forwarding businesses, revenue decreased $583 million for the quarter (down $1.1 billion year to date), primarily driven by the impact of the third quarter 2024 divestiture of Coyote, which contributed $539 million of revenue in the 2024 second quarter ($1.1 billion in the 2024 year-to-date period). Revenue within our other Forwarding businesses also declined by a total of $45 million during the quarter (down $36 million year to date), primarily driven by demand softness from changing trade policies and tariff uncertainty, particularly on our China-to-US trade lane, which negatively impacted both our volume and rates.
Current report
Within our Logistics businesses, revenue decreased $70 million for the quarter (down $40 million year to date). Revenue in our Mail Innovations business decreased $109 million (down $55 million year to date), driven by volume declines resulting from initiatives to improve revenue quality. The declines in Mail Innovations revenue were partially offset by $41 million of revenue increases in our healthcare logistics business for the quarter (up $29 million year to date), due to our January 2025 acquisition of Frigo-Trans and year-over-year growth in other healthcare businesses.
Current report
Forwarding operating expenses, and non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses, decreased $565 and $574 million, respectively, during the quarter (both decreasing $1.1 billion year to date), driven primarily by the impact of the third quarter 2024 divestiture of Coyote. Operating expenses, including non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses, in our other forwarding businesses decreased $43 million for the quarter (down $30 million year to date), primarily due to a decrease in market rates for third-party air and ocean transportation.
Current report
Logistics operating expenses and non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses decreased $28 and $16 million, respectively, for the quarter (up $107 and $159 million year to date, respectively) primarily driven by volume declines and lower purchased transportation costs in our Mail Innovations business. This was partially offset by increases across our other Logistics businesses. Year to date, expenses associated with our Mail Innovations business increased primarily driven by higher purchased transportation rates during the first quarter, resulting from the expiration of a contract with our primary vendor. These cost increases began to dissipate in the second quarter of 2025 as we started utilizing alternative vendors. We also took action to address the revenue quality in this business, and experienced improvements therein. Non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses within Logistics in the second quarter of 2024 excluded a $41 million write-down related to certain trade names.
Current report
As a result of the factors described above, total operating profit decreased $4 million for the second quarter (down
Current report
$82 million year to date), with operating margin increasing 150 basis points to 8.8% (down 40 basis points to 5.2% year to date). On a non-GAAP adjusted basis, operating profit decreased $32 million for the second quarter (down $152 million year to date) with non-GAAP adjusted operating margin increasing 50 basis points to 8.0% (down 140 basis points to 5.8% year to date). Non-GAAP adjusted operating profit excludes the impact of operating expense adjustments discussed above.
Current report
Total compensation expense and non-GAAP adjusted total compensation expense increased for both the quarter and year-to-date periods. Compensation costs increased $50 million for the quarter (up $285 million year to date) and, on a non-GAAP adjusted basis, increased $56 million for the quarter (up $292 million year to date). The principal factors contributing to the overall increases were:
Current report
•Indirect labor costs increased $23 million for the quarter (up $13 million year to date) due to higher administrative and overtime costs.
Current report
•Management compensation costs decreased $162 million for the quarter (down $191 million year to date) due to lower overall headcount and a reduction in incentive compensation expense.
Current report
Benefits costs increased $73 million for the quarter (up $26 million year to date) and on a non-GAAP adjusted basis increased $37 million (down $4 million year to date). The principal factors driving these changes were:
Current report
•Other employee benefits expense increased $47 million for the quarter (up $41 million year to date) due to higher separation costs as we continue to right-size our business.
Current report
•Workers' compensation expense increased $12 million for the quarter (up $10 million year to date) due to less favorable developments in prior year claims partially offset by the impact from a reduction in overall hours worked.
Current report
Repairs and maintenance cost increased in both the second quarter and year-to-date periods due to increased ground network usage and an increase in parts and labor for aircraft.
Current report
•Ground transportation decreased $623 million for the quarter (down $1.1 billion year to date) primarily due to the divestiture of Coyote in 2024 and the impact of insourcing our Ground Saver Product, as well as lower overall volume.
Current report
•Third-party fuel surcharges decreased $91 million for the quarter (down $182 million year to date) primarily due to the divestiture of Coyote.

Domestic volume increased for the quarter driven primarily by growth within Canada as well as moderate growth across several European markets. Retail customers drove growth within Canada and increases across the European markets were largely driven by retail and professional services customers.
Previous report
Export volume increased for the quarter driven primarily by growth in the intra-Europe and Asia trade lanes. The increases were slightly offset by declines in Canada to U.S. transborder trade, primarily as a result of changes in trade patterns. Improvements in the intra-Europe trade lanes were driven by volume growth from enterprise customers within the retail, healthcare and auto industries. Growth in the Asia to U.S. trade lanes was driven by increased SMB volumes primarily as a result of anticipated tariff changes.

Reworded paragraphs (81)
Previous wording
During the first quarter of 2025, we took several steps in furtherance of this strategy, including deliberately shifting our business to increase our focus on higher yielding volume. We entered into an agreement with our largest customer that, as previously disclosed, provides for reductions to the volume they ship with us, relative to 2024, by more than 50% by June 2026. We insourced our former SurePost product, using the UPS network for final mile delivery, and now replaced it with Ground Saver, a new domestic economy service. We also announced our Ground with Freight Pricing product to provide for shipments weighing more than 150 pounds.
Current wording
During the second quarter and first half of 2025, we took several steps in furtherance of this strategy, including continuing our deliberate shift in our business to increase our focus on higher yielding volume. As previously disclosed, we have entered into an agreement with our largest customer that provides for reductions in the volume they ship with us, relative to 2024, by more than 50% by June 2026. Through the first half of 2025, this volume glide-down proceeded as planned, and in the second half 2025, we expect to accelerate the year-over-year pace of decline to close to 30%.
Previous wording
In January 2025, we completed the previously announced acquisition of Frigo-Trans and Biotech & Pharma Logistics ("Frigo-Trans"), an industry-leading, complex healthcare logistics provider based in Germany. The acquisition is expected to increase our complex cold-chain logistics capabilities internationally. In the second quarter of 2025, we entered into an agreement to acquire Andlauer Healthcare Group ("AHG"), a leading North American supply chain management company headquartered in Canada that offers customized third-party logistics and specialized cold chain transportation solutions for the healthcare sector. This acquisition is expected to close in the second half of 2025, subject to AHG’s shareholder approval, customary regulatory reviews and approvals, and other customary closing conditions.

Previous wording
Network Reconfiguration and Efficiency Reimagined: Our Network of the Future initiative is intended to enhance our efficiency through automation and operational sort consolidation in our U.S. Domestic network. In connection with our plan for lower volumes from our largest customer, we began our Network Reconfiguration initiative, which is an expansion of Network of the Future and is expected to lead to consolidations of our facilities and workforce as well as an end-to-end process redesign. We launched our Efficiency Reimagined initiatives to undertake the end-to-end process redesign effort which will align our organizational processes to the network reconfiguration. We expect to reduce our operational workforce by 25 million hours and by approximately 20,000 positions during 2025 and close 73 leased and owned buildings by the end of June 2025. We are continuing to review our network and may identify additional buildings for closure. As of March 31, 2025, we continue to evaluate the impact of expected changes in volume on our air network. We anticipate $3.5 billion of total cost savings will be delivered this year from Network Reconfigurationand Efficiency Reimaginedand, through March 31, 2025 we had realized approximately $500 million in cost savings and incurred related costs of $23 million from these initiatives. These initiatives are expected to end in 2027.
Current wording
As previously disclosed, our Network of the Future initiative is intended to enhance the efficiency of our network through automation and operational sort consolidation in our U.S. Domestic network. In connection with our strategic execution of planned volume declines from our largest customer, we began our Network Reconfiguration initiative, which is an expansion of Network of the Future and has led and will continue to lead to consolidations of our facilities and workforce as well as an end-to-end process redesign. We launchedour Efficiency Reimagined initiatives to undertake the end-to-end process redesign effort which will align our organizational processes to the network reconfiguration. In connection therewith, we expect to reduce our operational workforce by approximately 20,000 positions. During the second quarter of 2025, we closed daily operations at 74 leased and owned buildings, 68 of which have been permanently closed. We continue to review expected changes in volume in our integrated air and ground network to identify additional buildings for closure.
Previous wording
In connection with the Network Reconfigurationand Efficiency Reimagined programs described above, we expect to record between $400 and $600 million in expense during 2025, related to early asset retirements, lease related costs, third-party consulting fees and employee separation benefits. We expect the costs associated with these actions may increase should we determine to close additional buildings. It is our intention to sell the property and equipment associated with closed facilities; however, as of the date hereof, we have not yet formalized plans of sale. In addition, we believe that workforce reductions may require a remeasurement of certain U.S. pension and postretirement benefit plan obligations and assets at an interim date. We are not yet able to estimate the timing or potential impact of such an event.
Current wording
In connection with the Network Reconfigurationand Efficiency Reimagined programs, we expect to exclude between $400 and $650 million in non-GAAP adjusted expense during 2025, related primarily to third-party consulting fees, employee separation benefits and certain programmatic expenses. We expect the costs associated with these actions may increase should we determine to close additional buildings. In addition, we believe that workforce reductions may require a remeasurement of certain U.S. pension and postretirement benefit plan obligations and assets during 2025. We are not yet able to estimate the timing of potential impact of such an event. As of June 30, 2025, we have incurred costs related to these programs of $126 million. We have begun to realize the expected benefits from these programs and, as previously disclosed, expect to achieve $3.5 billion in savings from these programs in 2025.
Previous wording
Our global small package operations experienced planned volume decreases during the quarter. Volumes declined in the U.S. due to the planned glide down of volume with our largest customer, partially offset by volume growth in our International business, driven by our domestic and export products. Decreases in package volume were largely offset by growth in revenue per piece. Revenue in our global small package operations increased slightly due to growth in air cargo revenue as we fully onboarded volume under our contract with the U.S. Postal Service ("USPS") during the fourth quarter of 2024.
Current wording
Our financial results for both the second quarter and year-to-date periods of 2025 reflect the impact of a complex macro environment, driven by evolving trade policies, as well as the significant strategic actions we are taking. Our global package operations experienced volume declines during the second quarter and year-to-date periods of 2025 due to our strategic execution of planned volume declines from our largest customer and our revenue quality efforts, partially offset by volume growth in all regions of our International business. Overall declines in package volume in both periods were largely offset by growth in revenue per piece due to pricing actions and changes in customer and product mix. Revenue in our global small package operations during the second quarter and year-to-date periods of 2025 benefited from growth in air cargo revenue as we fully onboarded volume under our contract with the U.S. Postal Service ("USPS") during the fourth quarter of 2024.
Previous wording
Supply Chain Solutions revenue decreased, driven by the impact of the third quarter 2024 divestiture of Coyote, partially offset by growth in our mail services and certain of our digital businesses.
Current wording

Previous wording
•Average daily package volume in our global small package operations decreased, driven by planned volume declines from our largest customer, as well as challenging macroeconomic conditions. The overall decrease in the U.S. Domestic Package segment was partially offset by growth in SMBs and commercial shipments in that segment as well as growth in all regions of the International Package segment.
Current wording
•Average daily package volume in our global small package operations decreased in both the quarter and year-to-date periods driven by our strategic execution of planned volume declines from our largest customer and pricing actions taken on certain e-commerce customers, as well as challenging macroeconomic conditions. The overall decreases in the U.S. Domestic Package segment in both the second quarter and year-to-date periods were partially offset by growth in SMB volume; consolidated volume declines were partially offset by growth in all regions of the International Package segment.

We exclude the impact of charges related to activities within our transformation strategy. Our transformation strategy activities 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. Our transformation strategy includes initiatives within our Transformation 2.0, Fit to Serve, Network Reconfigurationand Efficiency Reimagined programs. Various circumstances from time to time have precipitated these initiatives, including identification and prioritization of investments as a result of executive leadership changes, 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.

Transformation 2.0: Based on a number of factors including evaluating efficiencies previously gained, and in connection with changes in our executive leadership in 2020, we identified and reprioritized certain then-current and future investments, including additional investments in our workforce, portfolio of businesses and technology (such projects, collectively, “Transformation 2.0”). Specifically, we identified opportunities to reduce spans and layers of management, began a review of our business portfolio and identified opportunities to invest in certain technologies, including financial reporting and certain schedule, time and pay systems, to reduce global indirect operating costs, provide better visibility, and reduce reliance on legacy systems and coding languages. As of March 31, 2025, our remaining efforts under Transformation 2.0 include technology initiatives related to our financial systems. Previously completed initiatives within Transformation 2.0 are described in Supplemental Information - Items Affecting Comparabilityin our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Costs associated with Transformation 2.0 have primarily consisted of compensation and benefit costs related to reductions in our workforce and fees paid to third-party consultants. As of March 31, 2025, we have incurred $814 million of costs as part of Transformation 2.0, with anticipated remaining costs of approximately $75 million primarily related to completion of our technology initiatives. We expect any remaining costs to be incurred during 2025. These technology initiatives are expected to provide enhanced reporting quality for both internal and external purposes in part through simplification and standardization of data to better enable migration into cloud-based tools and automation, including transitioning general ledger, consolidation, and planning tools along with U.S. payroll from older programs and software supporting our freight forwarding business. These efforts are expected to reduce the need for future investments; we expect to realize benefits therefrom beginning during the second quarter of 2025.

Fit to Serve: In 2023, a number of factors, including macroeconomic headwinds and volume diversion resulting from our labor negotiations with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, contributed to volume declines in our U.S. Domestic Package business. In addition, our International Package and Supply Chain Solutions businesses were also negatively impacted by a number of challenging macroeconomic conditions during 2023. In response to these factors, we undertook our Fit to Serve initiative with the intent to right-size our business to create a more efficient operating model that was more responsive to market dynamics through a workforce reduction of approximately 14,000 positions, primarily within management. As of March 31, 2025, we have incurred total costs of $435 million under Fit to Serve, which primarily consist of benefit costs related to reductions in our workforce. We expect to incur remaining costs of approximately $25 million in 2025 as a part of this initiative, which should be complete in 2025. We have achieved savings of approximately $1.0 billion through this program via reductions in our compensation and benefit expense.

As previously disclosed, our Network of the Future initiative is intended to enhance our efficiency through automation and operational sort consolidation in our U.S. Domestic network. In connection with our plan for lower volumes from our largest customer, we began our Network Reconfiguration initiative, which is an expansion of Network of the Future and is expected to lead to consolidations of our facilities and workforce as well as an end-to-end process redesign. We launched our Efficiency Reimagined initiatives to undertake the end-to-end process redesign effort which will align our organizational processes to the network reconfiguration. We expect to reduce our operational workforce by 25 million hours and by approximately 20,000 positions during 2025 and close 73 leased and owned buildings by the end of June 2025. We are continuing to review our network and may identify additional buildings for closure. As of March 31, 2025, we continue to evaluate the impact of expected changes in volume on our air network. We anticipate $3.5 billion of total cost savings will be delivered this year from Network Reconfigurationand Efficiency Reimaginedand, through March 31, 2025 we had realized approximately $500 million in cost savings and incurred related costs of $23 million from these initiatives. These initiatives are expected to end in 2027.

We continue to review expected changes in volume in our integrated air and ground network to identify additional buildings for closure.
Previous wording
In connection with the Network Reconfigurationand Efficiency Reimagined programs described above, we expect to record between $400 and $600 million in expense during 2025, related to early asset retirements, lease related costs, third-party consulting fees and employee separation benefits. We expect the costs associated with these actions may increase should we determine to close additional buildings. It is our intention to sell the property and equipment associated with closed facilities; however, as of the date hereof, we have not yet formalized plans of sale. In addition, we believe that workforce reductions may require a remeasurement of certain U.S. pension and postretirement benefit plan obligations and assets at an interim date. We are not yet able to estimate the timing or potential impact of such an event.
Current wording
In connection with the Network Reconfigurationand Efficiency Reimagined programs, we expect to exclude between $400 and $650 million in non-GAAP adjusted expense during 2025, related primarily to third-party consulting fees, employee separation benefits and certain programmatic expenses. We expect the costs associated with these actions may increase should we determine to close additional buildings. In addition, we believe that workforce reductions may require a remeasurement of certain U.S. pension and postretirement benefit plan obligations and assets during 2025. We are not yet able to estimate the timing of potential impact of such an event. As of June 30, 2025, we have incurred costs related to these programs of $126 million. We have begun to realize the expected benefits from these programs and, as previously disclosed, expect to achieve $3.5 billion in savings from these programs in 2025.

As a normal part of managing our air network, we routinely idle aircraft and engines temporarily for maintenance or to adjust network capacity. As a result of the reduction in air volumes, as of March 31, 2025, we had three aircraft temporarily idled for an average period of approximately eight 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 these aircraft to return to revenue service during 2025. We continue to evaluate possible retirements within our MD-11 fleet and during the remainder of 2025, we expect to retire three fully depreciated MD-11s from operational service.

Approximately $1.1 billion of our consolidated goodwill balance of $4.7 billion is represented by our Global Freight Forwarding, Roadie and Global Logistics and Distribution reporting units which, based on our annual impairment evaluation, exhibited a limited excess of fair value above carrying value and reflect a greater risk of an impairment occurring in future periods. During the first quarter of 2025, our Mail Innovations reporting unit experienced cost increases inconsistent with our expectations due to increases in purchased transportation rates which resulted from the expiration of our previous contract with our primary vendor. We are evaluating additional vendors for this business. We are also addressing the revenue quality in the business. Depending on the outcome of these actions, our expectations for the future performance of this reporting unit could be materially affected. Approximately $295 million in goodwill is represented by our Mail Innovations reporting unit. Additionally, Frigo-Trans, which was acquired during the first quarter of 2025, will be reported as part of our Healthcare Logistics and Distribution ("HLD") reporting unit.
Current wording
Approximately $1.2 billion of our consolidated goodwill balance of $4.8 billion is represented by our Global Freight Forwarding, Roadie and Global Logistics and Distribution reporting units which, based on our July 1, 2024 annual impairment evaluation, exhibited a limited excess of fair value above carrying value and reflect a greater risk of an impairment occurring in future periods. During the first quarter of 2025, our Mail Innovations reporting unit experienced cost increases higher than our expectations due to increases in purchased transportation rates, resulting from the expiration of a contract with our primary vendor. These cost increases began to dissipate in the second quarter of 2025 as we started utilizing alternative vendors. In the second quarter of 2025, we also took action to address the revenue quality in this business, and experienced improvements therein. Depending on the outcome of these actions, our expectations for the future performance of this reporting unit could be materially affected. Approximately $295 million in goodwill is represented by our Mail Innovations reporting unit. Additionally, Frigo-Trans, which was acquired during the first half of 2025, is now reported as part of our Healthcare Logistics and Distribution reporting unit.

We continue to monitor all of our reporting units subsequent to the most recent annual test and, while we do not believe it is more likely than not that our reporting units' fair values are less than their carrying values as of March 31, 2025, challenging macroeconomic and uncertain geopolitical conditions, actual reporting unit performance, revisions to our forecasts of future performance or other factors, including market comparables, may negatively impact certain estimates and assumptions that we use in determining our reporting units' fair values. Such impacts may be more pronounced for reporting units whose fair values do not significantly exceed their carrying values. Any of these factors or a combination thereof could result in an impairment charge in one or more of our reporting units during a future period. We continue to monitor business performance and external factors affecting our reporting units.

Comparative results were impacted by one additional operating day in the first quarter of 2024. The growth in rates / product mix shown above includes the growth we experienced in our air cargo product during the first quarter of 2025, as air cargo under our contract with the USPS was fully onboarded during the fourth quarter of 2024. Air cargo is measured by dimensional weight, not on a per piece basis, and therefore does not impact the volume and revenue per piece discussions below. We expect revenue in the second quarter to be down due to planned volume decreases, partially offset by continued growth in air cargo.
Current wording
Comparative results were impacted by one less operating day in the first half of 2025. The growth in rates and product mix shown above includes the growth we experienced in our air cargo product during both the second quarter and the year-to-date periods in 2025, as air cargo under our contract with the USPS was fully onboarded during the fourth quarter of 2024.

See Supplemental Information - Items Affecting Comparability for additional discussion of transformation strategy costs excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures.
Previous wording
Cost per piece and non-GAAP adjusted cost per piece both increased 3.7% in the 2025 period. The increase in cost per piece was primarily driven by lower average daily volume, due primarily to the planned volume reductions from our largest customer as discussed above, which were not fully offset by the benefits of our cost saving initiatives. We anticipate cost per piece will show year-over-year growth in the second quarter.
Current wording
Cost per piece increased 6.1% during the second quarter of 2025 (up 4.9% year to date). Non-GAAP adjusted cost per piece increased 5.6% during the second quarter of 2025 (up 4.6% year to date). The increase in cost per piece was primarily driven by increased compensation and benefits costs from Ground Saver volume in addition to lower average daily volume, due primarily to the strategic execution of planned volume declines from our largest customer as discussed above, which were not fully offset by the benefits of our cost saving initiatives.
Previous wording
As a result of the factors described above, total operating profit decreased $78 million for the quarter, with operating margin decreasing 220 basis points to 1.7%.

Previous wording
Total revenue per piece decreased 2.6% for the quarter primarily due to non-premium product growth outpacing premium products, decreases in demand related surcharges and unfavorable currency fluctuations. These decreases were partially offset by the impact of base rate increases. Currency had a negative impact of 190 basis points on revenue per piece. Rate changes for shipments originating outside the U.S. are made throughout the year and vary by geographic market.
Current wording
Revenue per piece decreased 1.3% for the quarter (down 2.0% year to date) primarily due to a shift in product mix to Transborder Standard from our Worldwide products and lower demand-related surcharges, partially offset by favorable currency movements during the second quarter. Rate changes for shipments originating outside the U.S. are made throughout the year and vary by geographic market.
Previous wording
Operating expenses increased for the quarter. Pickup and delivery expenses increased $87 million, driven by increased volumes and the impact of the implementation of weekend operations within Europe.
