For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, total capital expenditures slightly increased compared to the 2024 period, primarily driven by increased spending on buildings, facilities and plant equipment and information technology, as we execute our Network of the Future initiative and other operational efficiency initiatives.
These increases were partially offset by:
Reduced spending on vehicles due to a focus on replacements at the end of their useful lives.
Decreased aircraft expenditures as a result of utilizing finance lease alternatives.
Proceeds from the disposal of businesses, property, plant and equipment decreased compared to the prior period. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, proceeds primarily related to sale-leaseback transactions totaling $465 million involving real estate properties within our Supply Chain Solutions businesses and a data center. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, proceeds of $1.0 billion primarily related to the divestiture of Coyote.
Changes in marketable securities were largely driven by the liquidation of our portfolio of $2.7 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to provide additional resources for short-term and strategic operating needs.
Cash paid for acquisitions in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to the acquisition of Frigo-Trans, and reacquired development area rights for The UPS Store. In the nine months ended September 30, 2024, cash paid for acquisitions related to the purchase of development areas for The UPS Store.
Non-cash investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 included construction-in-progress of $64 million related to the capitalization of construction costs in connection with our build-to-suit financing obligation.
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 $450 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 for all of 2025, of which approximately 90 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.
