Notes to Unaudited, Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited, consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. These unaudited, consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly our financial position as of September 30, 2025, and our results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. The results reported in these unaudited, consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as indicative of results that may be expected for any other period or the entire year. The unaudited, consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited, consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Throughout the document, the terms "nine months ended" and "year-to-date period" refer to the nine months ended September 30.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, finance receivables and accounts payable approximated fair value as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The fair values of our marketable securities are disclosed in note 5, our recognized multiemployer pension withdrawal liabilities in note 7, our short-and long-term debt in note 9 and our derivative instruments in note 15. We apply a fair value hierarchy (Levels 1, 2 and 3) when measuring and reporting items at fair value. Fair values are based on listed market prices (Level 1), when such prices are available. To the extent that listed market prices are not available, fair value is determined based on other relevant factors, including dealer price quotations (Level 2). If listed market prices or other relevant factors are not available, inputs are developed from unobservable data reflecting our own assumptions and include situations where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability (Level 3).

Certain investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value are measured at net asset value ("NAV") using NAV as a practical expedient, or an equivalent developed consistent with the measurement principles in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 820. Assets that are measured using NAV as a practical expedient are excluded from the fair value hierarchy. For further discussion on these investments, seenote 1 to the audited, consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the accompanying unaudited, consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingencies at the date of these financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Although our estimates contemplate current and expected future conditions, as applicable, it is reasonably possible that actual conditions could differ from our expectations, which could materially affect our results of operations and financial position. As a result, our accounting estimates and assumptions may change significantly over time.

Supplier Finance Programs

As part of our working capital management, certain financial institutions offer a Supply Chain Finance ("SCF") program to certain of our suppliers. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, there were no material changes to the SCF program described in note 1 to the audited, consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Amounts due to our suppliers that participate in the SCF program are included in Accounts payable in our consolidated balance sheets. We have been informed by the participating financial institutions that as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, suppliers had sold them $374 and $515 million, respectively, of our outstanding payment obligations during the relevant period.

NOTE 2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Accounting pronouncements adopted during the periods covered by the unaudited, consolidated financial statements did not have a material impact in our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or internal controls.

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") to enhance tax-related disclosures. The ASU became effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2025 and, beginning with our annual reporting, it will require more standardized categories for tax rate reconciliation and additional detail for significant tax items. It will also require a breakdown of income taxes paid by jurisdiction exceeding 5% of total taxes and removes certain disclosure requirements for unremitted foreign earnings and uncertain tax positions. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or internal controls.

Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective

In November 2024, the FASB issued an ASU on expense disaggregation disclosures, which will require tabular disclosure in the notes to financial statements for specific expense categories. The standard becomes effective for us beginning with our 2027 annual report and for interim and annual periods thereafter. This ASU provides for additional expense disclosures. We are evaluating the impact of adoption, but do not expect this ASU to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or internal controls.

In July 2025, the FASB issued an ASU on measurement of credit losses for accounts receivable and contract assets, which introduces a practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses on eligible current assets. The practical expedient permits entities to assume credit loss conditions existing at the balance sheet date will continue. Adoption of the practical expedient is optional and, if adopted, would become effective for us beginning in the first quarter of 2026. We are evaluating the impact of adoption, but do not expect this ASU to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or internal controls.

In September 2025, the FASB issued an ASU on targeted improvements to the accounting for internal‑use software, which modernizes accounting guidance for costs incurred in developing internal-use software. This ASU removes references to development stages, and instead requires capitalization to begin based on a "probable-to-complete" threshold. This ASU becomes effective for us beginning with our 2028 annual report and for interim and annual periods thereafter. We are evaluating the impact of adoption, but do not expect this ASU to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or internal controls.

Other accounting pronouncements issued before, but not effective until after, September 30, 2025, are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or internal controls.

NOTE 3. REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue Recognition

Substantially all of our revenues are from contracts associated with the pickup, transportation and delivery of packages and freight ("transportation services"). These services may be carried out by or arranged by us and generally occur over a short period of time. Additionally, we provide value-added logistics services to customers through our global network of distribution centers and field stocking locations.

The vast majority of our contracts with customers are for transportation services that include only one performance obligation: the transportation services themselves. We generally recognize revenue over time, based on the extent of progress towards completion of the services in the contract. All of our major businesses act as a principal in their revenue arrangements and as such, we report revenue and the associated purchased transportation costs on a gross basis within our statements of consolidated income.

Accounts Receivable, Net

During the third quarter of 2025, we entered into an accounts receivable factoring program with a third party, in which we may sell certain customer receivables to the third party on a revolving periodic basis. Any such transactions are accounted for as sales and accordingly, receivables sold are removed from Accounts receivable, net in the consolidated balance sheets and the proceeds are reflected in Cash Flows from Operating Activitiesin the statements of consolidated cash flows. Our continuing involvement in these receivables is primarily limited to servicing and under limited circumstances, recourse.

Total accounts which may be outstanding under the program are $395 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we sold $248 million of accounts receivable for net cash proceeds of $246 million. In connection with this program, we recognized a liability, measured at fair value, related to our estimated recourse obligations recorded within Other current liabilitiesin the consolidated balance sheet. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded an immaterial loss associated with the transactions within Other Income (Expense) in the statements of consolidated income. As of September 30, 2025, $147 million was available to be factored under this program.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, there were no material changes to our accounting policy for accounts receivable or how we estimate expected credit losses, as described in note 2 to the audited, consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Our allowance for credit losses as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $176 and $136 million, respectively. Amounts for credit losses charged to expense, before recoveries, during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were $95 and $75 million, respectively, and during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were $267 and $211 million, respectively.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, there were no material changes to our accounting policy for contract assets and liabilities described in note 2 to the audited, consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Contract assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows (in millions):

Balance Sheet LocationSeptember 30, 2025December 31, 2024
Contract Assets:
Revenue related to in-transit packagesOther current assets$281$307
Contract Liabilities:
Short-term advance payments from customersOther current liabilities$15$13
Long-term advance payments from customersOther non-current liabilities$52$27

NOTE 4. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Pre-tax compensation expense (benefit) for equity-classified stock compensation awards recognized in Compensation and benefits in our statements of consolidated income for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $25 and $(24) million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $41 and $(21) million, respectively.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, UPS Management Incentive Award Program ("MIP") awards were classified as a compensation obligation within Accrued wages and withholdings in our consolidated balance sheets. Substantially all MIP awards are settled in cash, subject to participant elections. Cash payments related to the 2024 MIP and 2023 MIP are reflected as activity in Accrued wages and withholdings in our statements of consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, there were no material changes to our stock-based compensation plans described in note 13 to the audited, consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, except as described below.

Long-Term Incentive Performance Program ("LTIP")

On May 7, 2025, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee of the Board (the "Compensation Committee") approved the 2025 LTIP award performance targets and determined May 9, 2025 to be the award measurement date. Each target restricted performance unit ("RPU") awarded under the LTIP was valued at $94.07. The performance targets for the 2025 LTIP award are equally weighted between adjusted revenue growth and adjusted operating return on invested capital. The actual number of RPUs earned is subject to adjustment based on total shareholder return relative to the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. RPUs to be issued under the 2025 LTIP will vest at the end of athree-year performance period, assuming continued employment with the Company (except in the case of death, disability or retirement, in which case immediate vesting occurs on a prorated basis). We determined the grant date fair value of the RPUs using a Monte Carlo model and recognize compensation expense (less estimated forfeitures) ratably over the vesting period, based on the number of awards expected to be earned.

The weighted-average assumptions used and the weighted-average fair values of the LTIP awards granted in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

20252024
Risk-free interest rate3.86%4.45%
Expected volatility28.39%27.00%
Weighted-average fair value of units granted$94.54$157.37
Share payout98.13%102.18%

There is no expected dividend yield as units earn dividend equivalents.

Restricted Units

On May 7, 2025, the Compensation Committee approved 0.4 million of special restricted stock unit awards ("RSUs") for certain of the Company’s employees, excluding the Chief Executive Officer. We determined the May 9, 2025 grant date fair value using the closing New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") price of $95.89. The RSUs will generally vest as follows:25% on May 9, 2026;25% on May 9, 2027; and 50% on May 9, 2028. The awards issued under these programs are considered to be equity classified. The weighted-average grant date fair value using the closing NYSE price for the RSUs granted in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $95.91.

Non-Qualified Stock Options

On May 9,2025, we granted 0.3 million stock options at an exercise price of $95.89, the NYSE closing price on that date.

The fair value of each option granted is estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted-average assumptions used and the weighted-average fair values of options granted in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:

20252024
Expected dividend yield5.21%3.96%
Risk-free interest rate4.08%4.25%
Expected life (in years)6.116.13
Expected volatility30.35%28.94%
Weighted-average fair value of options granted$18.72$34.76

Investment Impairments

We have concluded that no material impairment losses existed within marketable securities as of September 30, 2025. In making this determination, we considered the financial condition and prospects of each issuer, the magnitude of the losses compared with the cost, the probability that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the security, the credit rating of the security and our ability and intent to hold these investments until the anticipated recovery in market value occurs.

Maturity Information

The amortized cost and estimated fair value of marketable securities as of September 30, 2025 by contractual maturity are shown below (in millions). Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because the issuers of the securities may have the right to prepay obligations with or without prepayment penalties.

Non-Current Investments

We hold non-current investments that are reported within Other Non-Current Assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Cash paid for these investments is included in Other investing activities in our statements of consolidated cash flows.

Equity method investments: Equity securities accounted for under the equity method had a carrying value of $249 and $304 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Other equity securities: Certain equity securities that do not have readily determinable fair values are reported in accordance with the measurement alternative in ASC Topic 321. Equity securities accounted for under this measurement alternative had a carrying value of $47 and $42 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

Marketable securities valued utilizing Level 1 inputs include most U.S. government debt securities, as these securities have quoted prices in active markets. Marketable securities valued utilizing Level 2 inputs include equity securities and corporate bonds. These securities are valued using market corroborated pricing, matrix pricing or other models that utilize observable inputs such as yield curves.

The following table presents information about our investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine such fair value (in millions):

NOTE 6. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 consisted of the following (in millions):

Property, plant and equipment purchased on account was $378 and $227 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we entered into a build-to-suit financing obligation and recognized $64 million innon-cash additions to construction-in-progress, with a corresponding increase within Other Non-Current Liabilitiesof the unaudited consolidated balance sheet.

As part of our Network Reconfigurationand Efficiency Reimagined initiatives, we incurred $45 million in accelerated depreciation and asset retirement obligations related to closed facilities and abandoned equipment, and recorded $54 million in gains on sale of properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. We have also determined that $47 million of certain long-lived assets meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale and have presented the carrying value of these assets within Other current assets of the unaudited, consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2025.

We continue to review expected changes in volume in our integrated air and ground network to identify additional buildings for closure, and it is reasonably possible that our plans will also result in further revisions to our estimates of the useful lives and salvage values of certain of our long-lived assets. Any further revisions to these plans could further accelerate depreciation expense and lead to the recognition of additional charges related to early retirements in future periods. For additional information, see note 17 to the unaudited, consolidated financial statements.

There were no material impairment charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 or 2024. We will continue to monitor our long-lived asset groups for impairment.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we entered into sale-leaseback transactions, involving a data center and real estate properties. We concluded that each qualified as a sale; accordingly, we derecognized the carrying amounts of the properties and recognized the related operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at lease commencement. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we received cash proceeds of approximately $415 million and recognized gains of $330 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we received cash proceeds of approximately $465 million and recognized gains of $362 million. These gains were recognized within Other (gains) lossesin the unaudited, statement of consolidated cash flows and within Other expenses in the unaudited, statement of consolidated income during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

NOTE 7. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Company-Sponsored Benefit Plans

Information about the net periodic benefit cost for our company-sponsored pension and postretirement benefit plans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 is as follows (in millions):

Net periodic benefit cost$657$662$90$93$16$19

Service cost and the remaining components of net periodic benefit cost are presented within Compensation and benefits and Investment income and other, respectively, in our statements of consolidated income.

In connection with our Network Reconfigurationand Efficiency Reimagined initiatives, we continue to review expected changes in volume in our integrated air and ground network to identify additional buildings for closure, which we expect would result in further reductions in our operational workforce. In addition, in the third quarter of 2025, we offered a voluntary separation program to all full-time drivers in the United States and expect to continue to incur costs associated with contractual termination benefits. For additional information, see note 17 to the unaudited, consolidated financial statements.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we contributed $1.2 billion and $172 million to our company-sponsored pension and U.S. postretirement medical benefit plans, respectively. We expect to contribute approximately $9 million over the remainder of the year to both our company-sponsored pension and U.S. postretirement medical benefit plans, respectively.

Multiemployer Benefit Plans

We contribute to a number of multiemployer defined benefit and health and welfare plans under the terms of collective bargaining agreements that cover our union-represented employees. Our current collective bargaining agreements set forth the contribution rates to the plans that we participate in, and we are in compliance with these contribution rates.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had $797 and $804 million, respectively, recorded in Other Non-Current Liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets and $9 million as of both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 recorded in Other current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets associated with our previous withdrawal from the New England Teamsters and Trucking Industry Pension Fund. This liability is payable in equal monthly installments over a remaining term of approximately 37 years. Based on the borrowing rates currently available to us for long-term financing of a similar maturity, the fair value of this withdrawal liability as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $671 and $651 million, respectively. We utilized Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy of valuation techniques to determine the fair value of this liability.

As of December 31, 2024, we had $19 million recorded in Other current liabilitiesin our consolidated balance sheets associated with our 2024 withdrawal from the District 9 International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers Pension Trust. The withdrawal liability was settled on April 1, 2025.

UPS was a contributing employer to the Central States Pension Fund ("CSPF") until 2007, at which time UPS withdrew from the CSPF. Under a collective bargaining agreement with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters ("Teamsters"), UPS agreed to provide coordinating benefits in the UPS/IBT Full Time Employee Pension Plan ("UPS/IBT Plan") for UPS participants whose last employer was UPS and who had not retired as of January 1, 2008 ("the UPS Transfer Group") in the event that benefits are reduced by the CSPF consistent with the terms of our withdrawal agreement with the CSPF. Under this agreement, benefits to the UPS Transfer Group cannot be reduced without our consent and can only be reduced in accordance with law.

In the event CSPF were to become insolvent, CSPF benefits would be reduced to the legally permitted Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation limits, triggering the coordinating benefits provision in the collective bargaining agreement.

We account for the potential obligation to pay coordinating benefits under ASC Topic 715, which requires us to provide a best estimate of various actuarial assumptions in measuring our pension benefit obligation at the December 31 measurement date. As of December 31, 2024, our best estimate of coordinating benefits that may be required to be paid by the UPS/IBT Plan was immaterial.

The value of our estimate for future coordinating benefits will continue to be influenced by a number of factors, including interpretations of law, future legislative actions, actuarial assumptions and the ability of the CSPF to sustain its long-term commitments. Actual events may result in a change in our best estimate of the projected benefit obligation. We will continue to assess the impact of these uncertainties in accordance with ASC Topic 715.

Collective Bargaining Agreements

We have approximately 300,000 employees in the U.S. employed under a national master agreement and various supplemental agreements with local unions affiliated with the Teamsters which runs through July 31, 2028.

We have approximately 11,000 employees in Canada employed under a collective bargaining agreement with the Teamsters ("Teamsters Canada"). On August 29, 2025, UPS employees represented by Teamsters Canada ratified a new collective bargaining agreement. Terms of the agreement became effective August 1, 2025 and run through July 31, 2030. The economic provisions in the agreement included wage, healthcare and pension enhancements.

We have approximately 3,300 pilots who are employed under a collective bargaining agreement with the Independent Pilots Association ("IPA"). This collective bargaining agreement became amendable September 1, 2025. We are currently in negotiations with the IPA.

We have approximately 1,900 airline mechanics who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement with Teamsters Local 2727 which becomes amendable November 1, 2026. In addition, approximately 3,000 of our auto and maintenance mechanics who are not employed under agreements with the Teamsters are employed under a collective bargaining agreement with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. This collective bargaining agreement becomes amendable July 31, 2029.

NOTE 8. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The following table indicates the allocation of goodwill as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in millions):

U.S. DomesticPackageInternationalPackageSupply Chain SolutionsConsolidated

September 30, 2025:$847$514$3,449$4,810

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025:

We recorded an increase in goodwill of $345 million as a part of the purchase accounting allocation for our January 2025 acquisition of Frigo-Trans and Biotech & Pharma Logistics ("Frigo-Trans").

The remaining changes were due to the impact of changes in the value of the U.S. Dollar on the translation of non-U.S. Dollar goodwill balances.

Frigo-Trans is reported in Supply Chain Solutions as part of our Healthcare Logistics and Distribution ("HLD") reporting unit.

We conducted our most recent annual goodwill impairment testing as of July 1, 2025 using both qualitative and quantitative methods. Our quantitative tests utilize a combination of the income and market approaches. We concluded that the fair values of our reporting units were in excess of their respective carrying values.

Approximately $877 and $726 million of our $4.8 billion consolidated goodwill balance is represented by our Global Freight Forwarding ("GFF") and HLD reporting units, respectively, which, based on our annual impairment evaluation, are exhibiting a limited excess of fair value above carrying value and reflect a greater risk of an impairment occurring in future periods. Both GFF and HLD are showing limited excess of fair value over their carrying values, primarily driven by current market conditions, volatility in global markets, early stages of our healthcare growth strategy and ongoing integration of recent acquisitions. Both GFF and HLD reporting units are included in Supply Chain Solutions.

Additionally, beginning in the first quarter of 2025, our Mail Innovations reporting unit experienced cost increases in excess of 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 began to experience 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 included in Supply Chain Solutions.

For each of our reporting units, we continue to monitor the impact of macroeconomic conditions and business performance on our estimates of fair value. Subsequent to our annual testing date and as of September 30, 2025, none of our reporting units had indications that an impairment was more likely than not. Actual reporting unit performance, revisions to our forecasts of future performance, market factors, changes in global trade policy, changes in estimates or assumptions in future impairment testing, or a combination thereof could result in a non-cash impairment charge in one or more of our reporting units during a future period.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, there wereno impairment charges for finite-lived intangible assets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded impairment charges of $33 million within Other Expenses in our statement of consolidated income. These charges primarily consisted of software impairment charges related to a business within UPS Digital.

For the three months ended September 30, 2024, there were no material impairment charges for finite-lived intangible assets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded impairment charges of $48 million within Other Expenses in our statement of consolidated income. These charges represented trade name and capitalized software license impairments.

Commercial Paper

We are authorized to borrow up to $10.0 billion under a U.S. commercial paper program and €5.0 billion (in a variety of currencies) under a European commercial paper program. There wasno commercial paper outstanding as of September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024. The amount of commercial paper outstanding under these programs in the remainder of 2025 is expected to fluctuate.

Debt Classification

We have classified certain floating-rate senior notes that are redeemable at the option of the note holder as long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheets, due to our intent and ability to refinance the debt if the put option is exercised.

Debt Repayments

On April 1, 2025, our 3.900% Senior Notes with a principal balance of $1.0 billion matured and were repaid in full.

Debt Issuances

In the second quarter of 2025, we issued four series of notes in the principal amounts of $500 million, $1.3 billion, $1.3 billion and $1.0 billion. These notes bear interest at 4.650%,5.250%,5.950% and 6.050%, respectively, and mature on October 15, 2030, May 14, 2035, May 14, 2055 and May 14, 2065, respectively. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually, beginning October 15, 2025 with respect to the 4.650% notes due October 15, 2030 and November 14, 2025 with respect to each other series of notes. Each series of notes is callable at our option at a redemption price equal to the greater of 100% of the principal amount, or the sum of the present values of scheduled payments of principal and interest, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Also in the second quarter of 2025, we issued floating rate senior notes with a principal balance of $171 million. These notes bear interest at a rate equal to the compounded Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") less 0.350% per year and mature on June 1, 2075. Interest on the notes is payable quarterly, beginning September 1, 2025. These notes are callable at various times after 30 years at a stated percentage of par value and are redeemable at the option of the note holders at various times afterone year at a stated percentage of par value.

Other Arrangements

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we entered into new aircraft leases. The structure of this arrangement required a parent company guarantee of approximately $1.3 billion. For additional information, see note 10 to the unaudited, consolidated financial statements.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we entered into a real estate transaction for the development of a facility and recognized a financing obligation included in Other Non-Current Liabilitiesin our unaudited, consolidated balance sheet of $89 million. The financing obligation will increase as construction progresses.

Sources of Credit

We maintaintwo credit agreements with a consortium of banks. The first of these agreements provides revolving credit facilities of$1.0 billion, and expires on November 24, 2025. Amounts outstanding under this agreement bear interest at a periodic fixed rate equal to the term SOFR rate, plus 0.10% per annum and an applicable margin based on our then-current credit rating. The applicable margin from the credit pricing grid as of September 30, 2025 was 0.70%. Alternatively, a fluctuating rate of interest equal to the highest of (1) the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the prime rate in the United States; (2) the Federal Funds effective rate plus 0.50%; or (3) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%, may be used at our discretion. We expect to amend this agreement to extend its expiration date prior to its expiration, although no assurances of our ability to do so can be provided.

The second agreement provides revolving credit facilities of$2.0 billion, and expires on November 25, 2029. Amounts outstanding under this facility bear interest at a periodic fixed rate equal to the term SOFR rate plus 0.10% per annum and an applicable margin based on our then-current credit rating. The applicable margin from the credit pricing grid as of September 30, 2025 was 0.70%. Alternatively, a fluctuating rate of interest equal to the highest of (1) the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the prime rate in the United States; (2) the Federal Funds effective rate plus 0.50%; or (3) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%, plus an applicable margin, may be used at our discretion.

If the credit ratings established by Standard & Poor's and Moody's differ, the higher rating will be used, except in cases where the lower rating is two or more levels lower. In these circumstances, the rating one step below the higher rating will be used. We are also able to request advances under these facilities based on competitive bids for the applicable interest rate.

There wereno amounts outstanding under these facilities as of September 30, 2025.

Debt Covenants

Our existing debt instruments and credit facilities subject us to certain financial covenants. These covenants limit the amount of secured indebtedness that we may incur, and limit the amount of attributable debt in sale-leaseback transactions. As of September 30, 2025, and for all prior periods presented, we have satisfied these financial covenants.

Fair Value of Debt

Based on the borrowing rates currently available to us for long-term debt with similar terms and maturities, the fair value of long-term debt, including current maturities and excluding leases, was approximately $23.7 and $19.8 billion as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of long-term and short-term debt, inclusive of finance leases, was $20.3 billion. We utilized Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy of valuation techniques to determine the fair value of all of our debt instruments.

NOTE 10. LEASES

We have finance and operating leases for real estate (primarily package centers, airport facilities and warehouses), aircraft and engines, information technology equipment, vehicles and various other equipment used in operating our business. Certain leases for real estate and aircraft contain options to purchase, extend or terminate the lease.

We recognize a right-of-use asset and lease obligation for all leases greater than twelve months, inclusive of renewal or purchase options that are reasonably certain to be exercised. In 2025, we defined a new lease asset class, data centers, and elected to account for the lease and non-lease components separately. For all other lease arrangements, we account for lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.

Aircraft

In addition to the aircraft that we own, we charter aircraft to handle package and cargo volume on certain international trade lanes and domestic routes. Due to the nature of these agreements, primarily being that either party can cancel the agreement with short notice, we have classified these as short-term leases. A majority of our long-term aircraft operating leases are operated by a third party to handle package and cargo volume in geographic regions where, due to government regulations, we are restricted from operating an airline.

We also have long-term finance leases for aircraft that we operate. In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we entered into new aircraft leases. The leases that have commenced were accounted for as finance leases and represent $312 million of noncash investing and financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Subsequent to September 30, 2025, we entered intosix additional aircraft leases which we expect will be treated as finance leases.

Transportation equipment and other equipment

We enter into both long-term and short-term leases for transportation equipment to supplement our capacity or meet contractual demands. Some of these assets are leased on a month-to-month basis and the leases can be terminated without penalty. We also enter into equipment leases to increase capacity during periods of high demand. These leases are treated as short-term as the cumulative right of use is less than 12 months over the term of the contract.

Some of our transportation and technology equipment leases require us to make additional lease payments based on the underlying usage of the assets. Due to the variable nature of these costs, these are expensed as incurred and are not included in the right-of-use lease asset and associated lease obligation.

Sale-leaseback transactions

In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we entered into sale-leaseback transactions involving a data center and real estate properties.

The real estate transactions were entered into under triple-net operating lease agreements with initial terms ranging from 15 to 20 years, which may be renewed. The leases include increases to base rent at rates ranging from 2.5% to 3.0% over the remaining terms of the leases.

The components of lease expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows (in millions):

In addition to the lease costs in the table above, we monitor all lease categories for any indicators that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. We recognized certain immaterial impairments, primarily within our Supply Chain Solutions businesses, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024.

As of September 30, 2025, we had $2.2 billion of additional leases which had not commenced and are expected to commence later in 2025 through 2027. These leases are primarily related to aircraft and will commence when the related aircraft is delivered. Other leases will commence when we are granted access to the property, such as when leasehold improvements are completed or a certificate of occupancy is obtained.

NOTE 11. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND CONTINGENCIES

We are involved in a number of judicial proceedings and other matters arising from the conduct of our business.

Although there can be no assurances as to the ultimate outcome, we have generally denied, or believe we have meritorious defenses and will deny, liability in pending matters, including (except as may be otherwise noted herein) the matters described below, and we intend to vigorously defend each matter. We accrue amounts associated with judicial proceedings and other contingencies when and to the extent a loss becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated. The actual costs of resolving legal proceedings may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts accrued on those claims.

For matters as to which we are not able to estimate a possible loss or range of losses, we are not able to determine whether any such loss will have a material impact on our operations or financial condition. For these matters, we have described the reasons that we are unable to estimate a possible loss or range of losses.

Judicial Proceedings

We are a defendant in a number of lawsuits filed in state and federal courts containing various class action allegations under state wage-and-hour laws. We do not believe that any loss associated with any such matter will have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

In July 2023, Baker v. United Parcel Service, Inc. (DE) and United Parcel Service, Inc. (OH) was certified as a class action in federal court in the Eastern District of Washington. The plaintiff in this matter alleges that UPS violated the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act. We are vigorously defending ourselves in this matter and believe that we have a number of meritorious defenses, and there are unresolved questions of law and fact that could be important to the ultimate resolution of this matter. Accordingly, we are not able to estimate a possible loss or range of loss that may result from this matter or to determine whether such loss, if any, would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Other Matters

In August 2016, Spain’s National Markets and Competition Commission ("CNMC") announced an investigation into 10 companies in the commercial delivery and parcel industry, including UPS, related to alleged nonaggression agreements to allocate customers. In May 2017, we received a Statement of Objections issued by the CNMC. In July 2017, we received a Proposed Decision from the CNMC. In March 2018, the CNMC adopted a final decision, finding an infringement and imposing an immaterial fine on UPS. We appealed the decision. In December 2022, a trial court ruled against us. We have filed an appeal before the Spanish Supreme Court. We are vigorously defending ourselves and believe that we have a number of meritorious defenses. There are also unresolved questions of law that could be important to the ultimate resolution of this matter. We do not believe that any loss from this matter would have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

We are a party to various other matters that arose in the normal course of business. These include disputes with government authorities in various jurisdictions over the imposition of duties, fines, taxes and assessments from time to time. We are vigorously defending ourselves and believe that we have a number of meritorious defenses in these disputes. There are also unresolved questions of law that could be important to the ultimate resolution of these disputes. Accordingly, we are not able to estimate a possible loss or range of losses that may result from these disputes or to determine whether such losses, if any, would have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

We do not believe that the eventual resolution of any other matters (either individually or in the aggregate), including any reasonably possible losses in excess of current accruals, will have a material impact on our operations or financial condition.

NOTE 12. SHAREOWNERS' EQUITY

Capital Stock, Additional Paid-In Capital, Retained Earnings and Noncontrolling Interests

We are authorized to issuetwo classes of common stock, which are distinguished from each other primarily by their respective voting rights. Class A shares of UPS are entitled to 10 votes per share, whereas class B shares are entitled toone vote per share. Class A shares are primarily held by UPS employees and retirees, as well as trusts and descendants of the Company's founders, and these shares are fully convertible into class B shares at any time. Class B shares are publicly traded on the NYSE under the symbol "UPS". Class A and B shares both have a $0.01 par value and, as of September 30, 2025, there were 4.6 billion class A shares and 5.6 billion class B shares authorized to be issued. Additionally, there are 200 million preferred shares authorized to be issued, with a par value of $0.01 per share. As of September 30, 2025, no preferred shares had been issued.

The following is a rollforward of our common stock, additional paid-in capital, retained earnings and non-controlling interests accounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 (in millions):

(2) Includes adjustments related to certain stock-based awards.

In January 2023, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase authorization for$5.0 billion of class A and class B common stock. This share repurchase authorization has no expiration date. We repurchased 8.6 million shares of class B common stock for$1.0 billion under the share repurchase program during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. We repurchased 3.9 million shares of class B common stock for$500 million under our share repurchase program during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

As of September 30, 2025, we had $1.3 billion available under the share repurchase authorization. We do not anticipate further share repurchases in 2025.

We recognize activity in other comprehensive income (loss) for foreign currency translation adjustments, unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, unrealized gains and losses from derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges and unrecognized pension and postretirement benefit costs.

NOTE 13. SEGMENT INFORMATION

We havetwo reportable segments: U.S. Domestic Package and International Package, which are together referred to as our global small package operations. Our remaining businesses are reported as Supply Chain Solutions. Global small package operations represent our most significant business and are broken down into regional operations around the world. Regional operations managers are responsible for both domestic and export products within their geographic area. Supply Chain Solutions comprises the results of non-reportable operating segments that do not meet the quantitative and qualitative criteria of a reportable segment as defined under ASC Topic 280.

U.S. Domestic Package

U.S. Domestic Package operations include the time-definite delivery of letters, documents and packages throughout the United States.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2024, based on a change in our management reporting structure, we began presenting our U.S. air cargo results within our U.S. Domestic Package segment. This activity was previously reported within Supply Chain Solutions. This change aligns with how our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") reviews operating results to assess performance and allocate resources. Prior periods have been recast to conform to current presentation with no changes to consolidated results.

International Package

International Package operations include delivery to more than 200 countries and territories worldwide, including shipments wholly outside the United States, as well as shipments with either origin or destination outside the United States. International Package includes our operations in Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA"), Canada and Latin America (together "Americas") and Asia.

Supply Chain Solutions

Supply Chain Solutions includes our Forwarding, Logistics, digital and other businesses. Our Forwarding and Logistics businesses provide services in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide, including international air and ocean freight forwarding, customs brokerage, mail services, healthcare logistics and transportation, distribution and post-sales services. Our digital businesses leverage technology to enable a range of on-demand services such as same-day delivery, end-to-end return services and integrated supply chain and high-value shipment insurance solutions.

Segment information

We consider our Chief Executive Officer to be our CODM. The CODM is responsible for setting the Company's strategic direction, managing overall operations, and is the main point of communication between the Board of Directors and key operational personnel within the organization.

The CODM utilizes operating profit as a primary measure of segment performance because it reflects the underlying business performance and provides the CODM with a basis for making resource allocation decisions. Operating profit is defined as income before investment income and other, interest expense and income tax expense.

The CODM regularly reviews segment-level expense details which include compensation, benefits and purchased transportation when assessing operating segment performance. These expense categories represent the primary metrics used by the CODM to assess segment performance. For the Domestic Package segment, compensation and benefits are evaluated separately, whereas for the International Package segment, these categories are assessed in aggregate. Beginning with the second quarter of 2025, purchased transportation expense for the U.S. Domestic Package segment was no longer provided to the CODM when assessing the operating segment's performance.

Certain expenses are allocated between the segments using activity-based costing methods. These activity-based costing methods require us to make estimates that impact the amount of each expense category that is attributed to each segment. Changes in these estimates directly impact the amount of expense allocated to each segment, and therefore the operating profit of each reporting segment. Our allocation methodologies are refined periodically, as necessary, to reflect changes in our businesses. There were no significant changes to our allocation methodologies in the third quarter of 2025.

As we operate an integrated, global multimodal network, we evaluate many of our capital expenditure decisions at a network level. Accordingly, expenditures on property, plant and equipment by segment are not presented.
