UPS RELEASES 3Q 2025 EARNINGS (Form 8-K)

UPS RELEASES 3Q 2025 EARNINGS
•Consolidated Revenues of $21.4B
•Consolidated Operating Margin of 8.4%; Non-GAAP Adjusted* Consolidated Operating Margin of 10.0%
•Diluted EPS of $1.55; Non-GAAP Adj. Diluted EPS of $1.74
•Provides Fourth-Quarter 2025 Financial Guidance and Full-Year Capital Allocation Expectations

ATLANTA - October 28, 2025 - UPS (NYSE:UPS) today announced third-quarter 2025 consolidated revenues of $21.4 billion. Consolidated operating profit was $1.8 billion; $2.1 billion on a non-GAAP adjusted basis. Diluted earnings per share were $1.55 for the quarter; non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share were $1.74.

For the third quarter of 2025, GAAP results include a net charge of $164 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, comprised of after-tax transformation strategy costs of $250 million, partially offset by an $86 million benefit from the reversal of an income tax valuation allowance.

Additionally in the third quarter, UPS entered into a sale-leaseback transaction related to five properties, which resulted in a $330 million pre-tax gain on sale within Supply Chain Solutions, and which contributed $0.30 to diluted earnings per share. This transaction was part of the company's broader capital strategy to monetize certain real estate assets to reinvest for growth with the leases structured to maintain operational continuity.

"I want to extend my gratitude to all UPSers for their dedication and steadfast commitment to serving our customers," said Carol Tomé, UPS chief executive officer. "We are executing the most significant strategic shift in our company's history, and the changes we are implementing are designed to deliver long-term value for all stakeholders. With the holiday shipping season nearly upon us, we are positioned to run the most efficient peak in our history while providing industry-leading service to our customers for the eighth consecutive year."

2025 Outlook
The company provides certain guidance on a non-GAAP adjusted basis because it is not possible to predict or provide a reconciliation reflecting the impact of various potential future events, including the impact of pension adjustments, certain strategic initiatives or other unanticipated events, which would be included in reported (GAAP) results and could be material.

For the fourth-quarter of 2025, on a consolidated basis, UPS expects revenue to be approximately $24.0 billion and non-GAAP adjusted operating margin of approximately 11.0% - 11.5%.
The company confirms the following for the full year 2025:

•Capital expenditures of approximately $3.5 billion
•Dividend payments expected to be around $5.5 billion, subject to Board approval
•Effective tax rate of approximately 23.75%
•$1.4 billion in pension contributions (of which $1.3 billion have been made)
•Share repurchases of around $1.0 billion, which have been completed

* "Non-GAAP Adjusted" or "Non-GAAP Adj." amounts are non-GAAP adjusted financial measures. See the appendix to this release for a discussion of non-GAAP adjusted financial measures, including a reconciliation to the most closely correlated GAAP measure.

† Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation, including the recast of air cargo results to U.S. Domestic, with no change to consolidated results. Certain amounts are calculated based on unrounded numbers.
