PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Cautionary Statement About Forward-Looking Statements
This report, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission contain and in the future may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements other than those of current or historical fact, and all statements accompanied by terms such as “will,” “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “estimate,” “assume,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “target,” “plan,” and similar terms, are intended to be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are made subject to the safe harbor provisions of the federal securities laws pursuant to Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
From time to time, we also include written or oral forward-looking statements in other publicly disclosed materials. Such statements may relate to our intent, belief, forecasts of, or current expectations about our strategic direction, prospects, future results, or future events; they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made. However, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements because such statements speak only as of the date when made and the future, by its very nature, cannot be predicted with certainty.
Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or anticipated results. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: changes in general economic conditions in the United States ("U.S.") or internationally; significant competition on a local, regional, national and international basis; changes in our relationships with our significant customers; our ability to attract and retain qualified employees; strikes, work stoppages or slowdowns by our employees; increased or more complex physical or operational security requirements; a significant cybersecurity incident, or increased data protection regulations; our ability to maintain our brand image and corporate reputation; impacts from global climate change; interruptions in or impacts on our business from natural or man-made events or disasters including terrorist attacks, epidemics or pandemics; exposure to changing economic, political, regulatory and social developments in international and emerging markets; our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures or strategic alliances; the effects of changing prices of energy, including gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and other fuels, and interruptions in supplies of these commodities; changes in exchange rates or interest rates; our ability to accurately forecast our future capital investment needs; increases in our expenses or funding obligations relating to employee health, retiree health and/or pension benefits; our ability to manage insurance and claims expenses; changes in business strategy, government regulations or economic or market conditions that may result in impairments of our assets; potential additional U.S. or international tax liabilities; increasingly stringent regulations related to climate change; potential claims or litigation related to labor and employment, personal injury, property damage, business practices, environmental liability and other matters; and other risks discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and subsequently filed reports. You should consider the limitations on, and risks associated with, forward-looking statements and not unduly rely on the accuracy of predictions contained in such forward-looking statements. We do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events, circumstances, changes in expectations, or the occurrence of unanticipated events after the date of those statements, except as required by law.
From time to time, we expect to participate in analyst and investor conferences. Materials provided or displayed at those conferences, such as slides and presentations, may be posted on our investor relations website at www.investors.ups.com under the heading "Presentations" when made available. These presentations may contain new material nonpublic information about our company and you are encouraged to monitor this site for any new posts, as we may use this mechanism as a public announcement.

UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
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 March 31, 2024 and our results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. 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, 2023.
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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. 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).
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. We agree to commercial terms with our suppliers, including prices, quantities and payment terms, regardless of whether the supplier elects to participate in the SCF program. Suppliers issue invoices to us based on the agreed-upon contractual terms. If they participate in the SCF program, our suppliers, at their sole discretion, determine which invoices, if any, to sell to the financial institutions. Our suppliers’ voluntary inclusion of invoices in the SCF program has no bearing on our payment terms. No guarantees are provided by us under the SCF program. We have no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to participate, and we have no direct financial relationship with the financial institutions, as it relates to the SCF program.
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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, suppliers sold them $406 and $504 million, respectively, of our outstanding payment obligations.
Restricted cash
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $93 and $37 million, respectively of restricted cash. As of March 31, 2024, this restricted cash is included in Other Non-Current Assets in our consolidated balance sheet and is included in Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in our statement of consolidated cash flows. The restricted cash primarily relates to cash we have agreed to deposit in connection with a challenge by Italian tax authorities to the deductibility of Value Added Tax payments by UPS to certain third-party service providers, a review of which was launched in the fourth quarter of 2023. We are cooperating in this matter and believe that we have a number of meritorious defenses.

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 on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or internal controls.
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") on segment reporting, which will require new disclosures, including significant segment expenses and additional qualitative information about how segment measures are used by management. The standard becomes effective for us beginning with our 2024 annual reporting and for both annual and interim periods thereafter. We are evaluating the impact of this ASU on our disclosures. We will be required to define significant segment expense categories and we anticipate providing additional qualitative information in accordance with this ASU. We do not expect this ASU will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In December 2023, the FASB issued an ASU to enhance tax-related disclosures. This update 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 remove certain disclosure requirements for unremitted foreign earnings and uncertain tax positions. The standard becomes effective for us in the first quarter of 2025. We are evaluating its impact on our financial statements, disclosures and internal controls but do not expect this ASU will 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, March 31, 2024, 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.

Consolidated revenue $ 21,706  $ 22,925 
Contract Assets and Liabilities
Contract assets include billed and unbilled amounts resulting from in-transit shipments, as we have an unconditional right to payment only when services have been completed (i.e. shipments have been delivered). Amounts do not exceed their net realizable value. Contract assets are generally classified as current and the full balance is converted each quarter based on the short-term nature of the transactions.
Contract liabilities consist of advance payments and billings in excess of revenue as well as deferred revenue. Advance payments and billings in excess of revenue represent payments received from our customers that will be earned over the contract term. Deferred revenue represents the amount due from customers related to in-transit shipments that has not yet been recognized as revenue based on our selected measure of progress. We classify advance payments and billings in excess of revenue as either current or long-term, depending on the period over which the amount will be earned. We classify deferred revenue as current based on the short-term nature of the transactions. Our contract assets and liabilities are reported in a net position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. In order to determine revenue recognized in the period from contract liabilities, we first allocate revenue to the individual contract liability balance outstanding at the beginning of the period until the revenue exceeds that deferred revenue balance.

Contract assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows (in millions):
Balance Sheet Location

December 31, 2023
Contract Assets:

Contract Liabilities:
Short-term advance payments from customers Other current liabilities $ 13  $ 20 
Long-term advance payments from customers Other non-current liabilities $ 26  $ 25 
Accounts Receivable, Net
Accounts receivable, net, include amounts billed and currently due from customers. The amounts due are stated at their net estimated realizable value. Losses on accounts receivable are recognized when reasonable and supportable forecasts affect the expected collectability. This requires us to make our best estimate of the current expected losses inherent in our accounts receivable at each balance sheet date. This estimate requires consideration of historical loss experience, adjusted for current conditions, forward looking indicators, trends in customer payment frequency and judgments about the probable effects of relevant observable data, including present and future economic conditions and the financial health of specific customers and market sectors. Our risk management process includes standards and policies for reviewing major account exposures and concentrations of risk.
Our allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $144 and $126 million, respectively. Amounts for credit losses charged to expense, before recoveries, during each of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were $73 and $43 million, respectively.

NOTE 4. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
We issue share-based awards under various incentive compensation plans, including non-qualified and incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and stock units ("RSUs") and restricted performance shares and performance units ("RPUs", collectively with RSUs, "Restricted Units"). Upon vesting, Restricted Units result in the issuance of the equivalent number of UPS class A common shares after required tax withholdings. Dividends earned on Restricted Units are reinvested in additional Restricted Units at each dividend payable date until conversion to class A shares occurs.
Our primary equity compensation programs are the UPS Long-Term Incentive Performance Award program (the "LTIP") and the UPS Stock Option program. We also grant Restricted Units to our Board of Directors (the "Board") as a component of their annual compensation and, from time to time, to individual employees as a retention mechanism. We also maintain an employee stock purchase plan which allows eligible employees to purchase shares of UPS class A common stock at a discount.
Pre-tax compensation expense for stock compensation awards recognized in Compensation and benefits in the statements of consolidated income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was $(27) and $126 million, respectively.
Management Incentive Award Program
The UPS Management Incentive Program (the "MIP") is an incentive-based compensation program, with awards based on annual Company performance. MIP awards are paid in cash, unless a participant elects to receive all or a portion of the award in unrestricted shares of class A common stock. As of March 31, 2024, the MIP was classified as a compensation obligation within Accrued wages and withholdings in our consolidated balance sheet.
Long-Term Incentive Performance Program
RPUs issued under the LTIP vest at the end of a three-year performance period, subject to continued employment with the Company (except in the case of death, disability or retirement, in which case immediate vesting occurs on a prorated basis). The actual number of RPUs earned is based on achievement of the performance targets established on the grant date.
The performance targets are equally weighted between adjusted earnings per share and cumulative free cash flow. The final number of RPUs earned will then be subject to adjustment based on total shareholder return relative to the Standard & Poor's 500 Index. We determine 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.
Based on the date of the Compensation and Human Capital Committee of the Board's approval of the 2024 LTIP award performance targets, we determined March 20, 2024 to be the award measurement date and each target RPU awarded was valued at $158.16.
The weighted-average assumptions used and the weighted-average fair values of the LTIP awards granted in 2024 and 2023 are as follows:
2024 2023
Risk-free interest rate 4.45  % 3.81  %
Expected volatility 27.00  % 30.30  %
Weighted-average fair value of units granted
$ 158.16  $ 200.01 
Share payout 102.20  % 107.80  %
There is no expected dividend yield as units earn dividend equivalents.

UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Non-Qualified Stock Options
We grant non-qualified stock options to a limited group of eligible senior management employees under the UPS Stock Option program. Stock option awards vest over a five-year period with approximately 20% of the award vesting at each anniversary of the grant date (except in the case of death, disability or retirement, in which case immediate vesting occurs). The option grants expire 10 years after the date of the grant. On March 20, 2024, we granted 0.2 million stock options at an exercise price of $154.76, the New York Stock Exchange 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 2024 and 2023 are as follows:
2024 2023
Expected dividend yield 3.96  % 3.54  %
Risk-free interest rate 4.25  % 3.70  %

Investment Impairments

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.

The components of net periodic benefit cost other than current service cost are presented within Investment income and other in the statements of consolidated income.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we contributed $19 million and $31 million to our company-sponsored pension and U.S. postretirement medical benefit plans, respectively. We expect to contribute approximately $87 million over the remainder of the year to our U.S. postretirement medical benefit plans.
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 annual contribution increases allotted to the plans that we participate in, and we are in compliance with these contribution rates. These limitations on annual contribution rates will remain in effect throughout the terms of the existing collective bargaining agreements.
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $811 and $813 million, respectively, recorded in Other Non-Current Liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets and $9 million as of both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 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 39 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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $685 and $710 million, respectively. We utilized Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy of valuation techniques to determine the fair value of this liability.
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 (“IBT”), 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.
Subsequent to our withdrawal, the CSPF incurred extensive asset losses and indicated that it was projected to become insolvent. In such event, the CSPF benefits would be reduced to the legally permitted Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") limits, triggering the coordinating benefits provision in the collective bargaining agreement.
In 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act ("ARPA") was enacted into law. The ARPA contains provisions that allow for qualifying multiemployer pension plans to apply for special financial assistance ("SFA") from the PBGC, which will be funded by the U.S. government. Following SFA approval, a qualifying multiemployer pension plan will receive a lump sum payment to enable it to continue paying unreduced pension benefits through 2051. The multiemployer plan is not obligated to repay the SFA. The ARPA is intended to prevent both the PBGC and certain financially distressed multiemployer pension plans, including the CSPF, from becoming insolvent through 2051. The CSPF submitted an application for SFA that was approved in December 2022. In January 2023, $35.8 billion was paid to the CSPF by the PBGC.

UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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, 2023, our best estimate of coordinating benefits that may be required to be paid by the UPS/IBT Plan after SFA funds have been exhausted was immaterial.
The value of our estimate for future coordinating benefits will continue to be influenced by a number of factors, including interpretations of the ARPA, 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 310,000 employees in the U.S. employed under a national master agreement and various supplemental agreements with local unions affiliated with the Teamsters. These agreements are scheduled to expire on July 31, 2028.
We have approximately 10,000 employees in Canada employed under a collective bargaining agreement with the Teamsters which runs through July 31, 2025.
We have approximately 3,300 pilots who are employed under a collective bargaining agreement with the Independent Pilots Association. This collective bargaining agreement becomes amendable September 1, 2025.
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 collective bargaining agreements with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. These collective bargaining agreements run through July 31, 2024.

March 31, 2024: $ 847  $ 496  $ 3,503  $ 4,846 
Changes in goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2024 resulted from:
•An increase in goodwill of $8 million, as part of purchase accounting allocations relating to our acquisitions of MNX Global Logistics and Happy Returns in the fourth quarter of 2023. Certain areas of purchase accounting, including our estimates of tax positions, remain preliminary as of March 31, 2024.
•The remaining movements are due to the impact of changes in the value of the U.S. Dollar on the translation of non-U.S. Dollar goodwill balances.
As of March 31, 2024, none of our reporting units had indications that an impairment was more likely than not. Approximately $1.5 billion of our consolidated goodwill balance of $4.8 billion is represented by our Global Freight Forwarding, our truckload brokerage ("Coyote") and Roadie reporting units which, based on our quarterly monitoring, are exhibiting a limited excess of fair value above carrying value and reflect a greater risk of an impairment occurring in future periods. We do not expect any impairment would have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Actual reporting unit performance, revisions to our forecasts of future performance, market factors, changes in estimates or assumptions in connection with our annual testing, 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.

A trade name and licenses with carrying values of $89 and $4 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2024 are deemed to be indefinite-lived intangible assets, and therefore are not amortized.
As of March 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived trade name associated with Coyote remained greater than its carrying value by less than 10 percent. The carrying value of this trade name is $89 million. Our truckload brokerage business continues to be negatively impacted by market conditions, which has resulted in revenue declines. We continue to monitor business performance and external factors affecting our valuation assumptions for this trade name. There were no events or changes in circumstances as of March 31, 2024 that would indicate the carrying amounts of our indefinite-lived intangible assets may be impaired as of the date of this report.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded impairment charges related to finite-lived intangible assets of $48 million ($35 million after tax, or $0.04 per diluted share) within Other Expenses in our statement of consolidated income. These charges represented capitalized software license impairments of $7 million and a $41 million charge to write down the value of certain trade names acquired as part of our acquisition of Bomi Group as we consolidate our brands. There were no impairment charges for finite-lived intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

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 was no commercial paper outstanding as of March 31, 2024. The amount of commercial paper outstanding under these programs in 2024 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. As of March 31, 2024, we continued to classify our 2.200% senior notes with a principal balance of $400 million that mature in September 2024 as long-term debt in our consolidated balance sheet due to our intent and ability to refinance the debt.
Sources of Credit
We maintain two credit agreements with a consortium of banks. The first of these agreements provides revolving credit facilities of $1.0 billion, and expires on December 3, 2024. 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 March 31, 2024 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.
The second agreement provides revolving credit facilities of $2.0 billion, and expires on December 7, 2026. 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 March 31, 2024 was 0.875%. 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 were no amounts outstanding under these facilities as of March 31, 2024.
Debt Covenants
Our existing debt instruments and credit facilities subject us to certain financial covenants. As of March 31, 2024, and for all prior periods presented, we have satisfied these 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, to 10% of net tangible assets. As of March 31, 2024, 10% of net tangible assets was equivalent to $4.5 billion and we had no covered sale-leaseback transactions or secured indebtedness outstanding. We do not expect these covenants to have a material impact on our liquidity.
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, was approximately $19.4 and $22.1 billion as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. 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.
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.
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.
The components of lease expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows (in millions):

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.
The Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") has been investigating our controls and practices surrounding impairment analyses in connection with the sale of UPS Freight in April 2021. Such analysis led to a non-cash goodwill impairment charge being recorded during the quarter ended December 31, 2020. Since March 2024, when the SEC staff informed the Company that it disagreed with the timing of the impairment, the Company has been discussing with the SEC staff the possibility of reaching a negotiated resolution. Although the Company cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the investigation with certainty, it believes the resolution of the SEC investigation will not have a material effect on the Company's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. An accrual representing our best estimate of the impact of this regulatory matter is included in our consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2024.
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 Non-Controlling Interests
We are authorized to issue two 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 to one 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 New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "UPS". Class A and B shares both have a $0.01 par value, and as of March 31, 2024, 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 March 31, 2024, 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 months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (in millions, except per share amounts):

We did not repurchase any shares under our share repurchase program during the three months ended March 31, 2024. We repurchased 4.1 million shares of class B common stock for $750 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023. These repurchases were completed as follows:
•In August 2021, the Board of Directors authorized the company to repurchase up to $5.0 billion of class A and class B common stock (the "2021 Authorization"). For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we repurchased 0.5 million shares of class B common stock for $82 million under this authorization.
•In January 2023, the Board of Directors terminated the 2021 Authorization and approved a new share repurchase authorization for $5.0 billion of class A and class B common stock (the "2023 Authorization"). For the three months ended March 31, 2023, we repurchased 3.6 million shares for $668 million under the 2023 Authorization.
As of March 31, 2024, we had $2.8 billion available under the 2023 Authorization. We do not currently anticipate any share repurchases in 2024.
Future share repurchases may be in the form of accelerated share repurchase programs, open market purchases or other methods we deem appropriate. The timing of share repurchases will depend upon market conditions. Unless terminated earlier by the Board of Directors, this program will expire when we have purchased all shares authorized for repurchase under the program.
Movements in additional paid-in capital in respect of stock award plans comprise accruals for unvested awards, offset by adjustments for awards that vest during the period.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
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 hedges of cash flows and unrecognized pension and postretirement benefit costs.

Deferred Compensation Obligations and Treasury Stock
We maintain a deferred compensation plan whereby certain employees were previously able to elect to defer the gains on stock option exercises by deferring the shares received upon exercise into a rabbi trust. The shares held in this trust are classified as treasury stock, and the liability to participating employees is classified as a deferred compensation obligation within Shareowners’ Equity in the consolidated balance sheets. The number of shares needed to settle the liability for deferred compensation obligations is included in the denominator in both the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations. Employees are generally no longer able to defer the gains from stock options exercised.

NOTE 13. SEGMENT INFORMATION
We have two 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. 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 – Segment Reporting.
U.S. Domestic Package
U.S. Domestic Package operations include the time-definite delivery of letters, documents and packages throughout the United States.
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, the Indian sub-continent, 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 and include international air and ocean freight forwarding, truckload brokerage, customs brokerage, mail services, healthcare logistics, 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.
In evaluating financial performance, we focus on operating profit as a segment’s measure of profit or loss. Operating profit is before investment income and other, interest expense and income tax expense. 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 first quarter of 2024.

NOTE 15. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
Risk Management Policies
Changes in fuel prices, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates impact our results of operations and we actively monitor these exposures. Where deemed appropriate, to manage the impact of these exposures on earnings and/or cash flows, we may enter into a variety of derivative financial instruments. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Credit Risk Management
The forward contracts, swaps and options discussed below contain an element of risk that the counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements. We seek to minimize such risk exposures for these instruments by limiting the counterparties to banks and financial institutions that meet established credit guidelines. We may further manage credit risk through the use of bilateral collateral provisions and/or early termination rights utilizing master netting arrangements, whereby cash is exchanged based on the net fair value of derivatives associated with each counterparty. The majority of these arrangements require exchange of collateral when positions exceed $250 million.
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we held cash collateral of $82 and $103 million, respectively, under these agreements. This collateral is included in Cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets and is unrestricted. As of March 31, 2024, no collateral was required to be posted with our counterparties. As of December 31, 2023, we were required to post $13 million with our counterparties.
Types of Hedges
Commodity Risk Management
Currently, the fuel surcharges that we apply in our domestic and international package businesses are the primary means of reducing the risk of adverse fuel price changes on our business. In order to mitigate the impact of fuel surcharges imposed on us by outside carriers, we regularly adjust the rates we charge for our freight brokerage services.
Foreign Currency Risk Management
To protect against the reduction in value of forecasted foreign currency cash flows from our international package business, we maintain a foreign currency cash flow hedging program. Our most significant foreign currency exposures relate to the Euro, British Pound Sterling, Canadian Dollar, Chinese Renminbi and Hong Kong Dollar. We generally designate and account for these contracts as cash flow hedges of anticipated foreign currency denominated revenue.
We may also hedge portions of our anticipated cash settlements of principal and interest on certain foreign currency denominated debt. We generally designate and account for these contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted foreign currency denominated transactions.
We hedge our net investment in certain foreign operations with foreign currency denominated debt instruments.
Interest Rate Risk Management
We may use a combination of derivative instruments to manage the fixed and floating interest rate mix of our total debt portfolio and related overall cost of borrowing.
We generally designate and account for interest rate swaps that convert fixed-rate interest payments into floating-rate interest payments as fair value hedges of the associated debt instruments. We designate and account for interest rate swaps that convert floating-rate interest payments into fixed-rate interest payments as cash flow hedges of the forecasted payment obligations.
We may periodically hedge the forecasted fixed-coupon interest payments associated with anticipated debt offerings by using forward starting interest rate swaps, interest rate locks or similar derivatives.

NOTE 16. INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was approximately 27.5% and 24.9%, respectively. The year-over-year increase in our effective tax rate was driven by share-based compensation shortfalls, unfavorable changes in uncertain tax positions and a non-deductible expense related to a regulatory matter.
We have recognized liabilities for uncertain tax positions and we reevaluate these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis. A number of years may elapse before an uncertain tax position is audited and ultimately settled. It is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome or the timing of resolution for uncertain tax positions. It is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits could significantly increase or decrease within the next twelve months, however, an estimate of the range of reasonably possible outcomes cannot be made. Items that may cause changes to unrecognized tax benefits include the allowance or disallowance of deductions, the timing of deductions and the allocation of income and expense between tax jurisdictions. Changes could result from the settlement of ongoing litigation, the completion of ongoing examinations, the expiration of statutes of limitations or other unforeseen circumstances.

We are undertaking an enterprise-wide transformation of our organization that includes initiatives, as well as changes in processes and technology, that impact global direct and indirect operating costs. In 2023, we announced our "fit to serve" initiative, which is intended to right-size our business for the future through a workforce reduction of approximately 12,000 positions and create a more efficient operating model to enhance responsiveness to changing market dynamics. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, an accrual for separation costs of $87 and $205 million, respectively, was included in our consolidated balance sheets, all of which we expect to pay during 2024.
The table below presents transformation costs for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (in millions):

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview
Through our Customer First, People Led, Innovation Driven strategy we are investing to grow in the premium parts of the market and drive efficiency across our network. We are focused on the parts of the market that value our end-to-end integrated network, including healthcare, commercial shippers and small- and medium-sized businesses ("SMBs"). Through our Network of the Future initiative, we are transforming our network by combining physical and digital capabilities, including our smart package smart facility RFID solution, to streamline our operations. We are also leveraging technology to add new capabilities and expand our addressable market.
During the first quarter, we took a number of steps in furtherance of this strategy. For example, we expanded our no box, no label returns service that combines the reach and capabilities of The UPS Store and Happy Returns, and we launched Roadie XD, adding capabilities for big and bulky long-zone deliveries for items that are incompatible with our small package network. Additionally, we continued to develop capabilities to enhance our SMB customer experience. In furtherance of our healthcare strategy, we opened a new facility at our global air hub specifically designed for complex healthcare shipments. For the remainder of 2024, we expect to continue investment in our network to drive further operational efficiencies.
On April 1, 2024, we announced that we entered into an agreement to expand our relationship with the U.S. Postal Service ("USPS"), providing for UPS to become the USPS primary air cargo provider within the United States.
We have two 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.
During the first quarter of 2024, the macroeconomic environment remained challenging. Persistent soft demand, lack of growth in industrial production and continuing inflationary pressures contributed to volume declines in our global small package operations, although we experienced pockets of growth in certain markets and trade lanes. In Supply Chain Solutions, our freight forwarding businesses continued to be negatively impacted by soft demand and market overcapacity. Somewhat offsetting this was increased revenue in our logistics businesses, driven by growth in our healthcare operations and the impact of the acquisition of MNX Global Logistics in the fourth quarter of 2023.
We expect our second quarter earnings to be lower relative to 2023, primarily due to the higher labor costs associated with the first year of the Teamsters contract. However, we anticipate a return to operating profit growth during the second half of 2024.

•Average daily package volume in our global small package operations decreased, with declines in both commercial and residential shipments across all of our product segments. These declines were primarily the result of the challenging macroeconomic conditions.
•Revenue declined as well, driven by lower volume and relatively flat revenue per piece.
•Operating expenses decreased, due to a reduction in purchased transportation in all segments and reductions in fuel expenses in our small package operations, as well as the impact of our ongoing productivity initiatives.
•Operating profit and operating margin decreased as revenue declines were greater than operating expense reductions.
•We reported net income of $1.1 billion and diluted earnings per share of $1.30. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $1.43 after adjusting for the after-tax impacts of:
◦transformation and other costs of $75 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, and
◦asset impairment charges of $35 million, or $0.04 per diluted share.
Within our segments, U.S. Domestic Package revenues and expenses were primarily impacted by the matters described above, with expense decreases partially offset by increases in union workforce compensation and benefits expense.
International Package segment revenues were also impacted by declines in demand related surcharges and currency fluctuations, partially offset by revenue per piece growth due to increases in base rates and changes in product and customer mix.
In Supply Chain Solutions, revenue decreases were driven by volume and market rate declines in Forwarding, somewhat offset by growth in our Logistics businesses. Expenses decreased primarily due to lower purchased transportation expense in Forwarding, partially offset by expense increases within Logistics.

Supplemental Information - Items Affecting Comparability
We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") with certain non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures exclude costs or charges that we do not consider a part of underlying business performance when monitoring and evaluating the operating performance of our business units, making decisions to allocate resources or in determining incentive compensation awards. As a result, we believe excluding the impact of these items better enables users of our financial statements to view and evaluate underlying business performance from the perspective of management.
Adjusted financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our adjusted financial measures do not represent a comprehensive basis of accounting and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Adjusted amounts reflect the following (in millions):

Defined Benefit Pension and Postretirement Medical Plan Gains and Losses
We incur certain employment-related expenses associated with pension and postretirement medical benefits. These pension and postretirement medical benefits costs for company-sponsored defined benefit plans are calculated using various actuarial assumptions and methodologies, including discount rates, expected returns on plan assets, healthcare cost trend rates, inflation, compensation increase rates, mortality rates and coordination of benefits with plans not sponsored by UPS. Actuarial assumptions are reviewed on an annual basis, unless circumstances require an interim remeasurement of any of our plans.
We recognize changes in the fair value of plan assets and net actuarial gains and losses in excess of a 10% corridor (defined as 10% of the greater of the fair value of plan assets or the plan's projected benefit obligation), as well as gains and losses resulting from plan curtailments and settlements, for our pension and postretirement defined benefit plans immediately as part of Investment income and other in the statements of consolidated income. We supplement the presentation of our income before income taxes, net income and earnings per share with adjusted measures that exclude the impact of these gains and losses and the related income tax effects. We believe excluding these defined benefit pension and postretirement medical plan gains and losses provides important supplemental information by removing the volatility associated with plan amendments and short-term changes in market interest rates, equity values and similar factors.
For additional information, see note 7 to the unaudited, consolidated financial statements.

Results of Operations - Segment Review
The results and discussions that follow are reflective of how management monitors and evaluates the performance of our segments as defined in note 13 to the unaudited, consolidated financial statements.
Certain operating expenses are allocated between our reporting 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 would 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, or as necessary to reflect changes in our businesses. While there were no significant changes to our allocation methodologies in the first quarter of 2024, we expect additional air cargo volumes from our recently-announced agreement with the USPS will result in a greater share of air network expense being allocated to Supply Chain Solutions beginning in the second quarter of 2024.
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 volumes experienced during the quarter, we temporarily idled certain aircraft within our network 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. As of March 31, 2024, we had eight aircraft temporarily idled for an average period of approximately two months. We expect these aircraft to return to revenue service during 2024.
We test goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually at July 1 and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that it is more likely than not that the carrying value thereof may be impaired. Testing goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment requires that we make a number of significant assumptions, including assumptions related to future revenues, costs, capital expenditures, working capital, our cost of capital and market comparables. We are also required to make assumptions relating to our overall business and operating strategy, and the regulatory and market environment.
Challenging macroeconomic and uncertain geopolitical conditions continue to impact demand for our services. 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, 2024, these external conditions or other factors, including market comparables, may negatively impact certain estimates and assumptions that we use in developing our reporting units' fair values. Such impacts may be more pronounced for reporting units whose fair values do not significantly exceed their carrying values.
As of March 31, 2024, none of our reporting units had indications that an impairment was more likely than not. Approximately $1.5 billion of our consolidated goodwill balance of $4.8 billion is represented by our Global Freight Forwarding, Coyote and Roadie reporting units which, based on our quarterly monitoring, are exhibiting a limited excess of fair value above carrying value and reflect a greater risk of an impairment occurring in future periods. We do not expect any impairment would have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Actual reporting unit performance, revisions to our forecasts of future performance, market factors, changes in estimates or assumptions in connection with our annual testing, 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.
Additionally, as of March 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of the indefinite-lived trade name associated with our truckload brokerage business, Coyote, remained greater than its carrying value by less than 10 percent. The carrying value of this trade name is $89 million. During the quarter, our truckload brokerage business continued to be negatively impacted by market conditions, which resulted in revenue declines. We continue to monitor business performance and external factors affecting our valuation assumptions for this trade name. As previously disclosed, we are continuing to evaluate strategic alternatives relating to this business.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Volume
Average daily volume decreased, with reductions in both residential and commercial volume. Challenging macroeconomic conditions, including weakness in manufacturing output, drove the overall volume decline. We anticipate that year-over-year average daily volume will increase each quarter for the remainder of 2024.
Business-to-consumer volume declined 1.5% in the quarter as a result of the factors discussed above, with declines from both large customers and SMBs.
Business-to-business volume declined 5.5% in the quarter for the reasons described above, driven by declines across a number of sectors including retail, technology and manufacturing. Returns volume increased in the quarter, partially attributable to our addressable market expansion with capabilities like no box, no label returns through Happy Returns and the convenience of our The UPS Store locations.
Within our Air products, average daily volume decreases were driven by continued execution under the contract terms with our largest customer as planned, as well as by the impact of other customers making cost trade-offs to our ground network.
Average daily volumes for Ground commercial shipments decreased by 5.6%, due to the general economic conditions discussed above. Overall Ground residential volumes were relatively flat, as the decreases were offset by a 10.8% increase in SurePost volume from large customers. We expect volume to increase in the second quarter, driven by anticipated volume from large customers.
Revenue Per Piece
In December 2023, we implemented an average 5.9% net increase in base and accessorial rates for both our Air and Ground products. Revenue per piece from our Air products increased for the quarter, while revenue per piece from our Ground products declined. The increase in base and accessorial rates favorably impacted revenue per piece from both Air and Ground products, although it was partially offset by decreases in fuel surcharge revenues and average billable weight per piece, coupled with an unfavorable shift in product mix within our Ground products.
We continue to execute on pricing and revenue quality initiatives within our strategy, and anticipate revenue per piece will remain relatively flat in the second quarter before returning to growth during the second half of 2024.
Fuel Surcharges
We apply a fuel surcharge on our domestic air and ground services that adjusts weekly. Our air fuel surcharge is based on the U.S. Department of Energy's ("DOE") Gulf Coast spot price for a gallon of kerosene-type fuel, and our ground fuel surcharge is based on the DOE's On-Highway Diesel Fuel price.
Fuel surcharge revenue decreased $184 million for the quarter, driven by reductions in price per gallon and the impact of lower volumes. We expect fuel surcharge revenue to increase in the second quarter, primarily due to volume growth and the impact of higher surcharge modifiers.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Operating Expenses
Operating expenses and adjusted operating expenses decreased for the quarter. The costs of operating our integrated air and ground network decreased $291 million, and other operating costs decreased $224 million. In addition to the impact of one less operating day in 2024, the decrease in operating expenses was primarily due to:
•A reduction in purchased transportation costs and aircraft block hours, resulting from lower overall volumes and the impact of network optimization initiatives, which drove a reduction in ground volume handled by third-party carriers.
•Lower fuel expense driven by lower volume and decreases in the price of jet fuel, diesel and gasoline. We expect fuel expense to remain relatively flat in the second quarter of 2024.
These reductions were partially offset by increases of $311 million in pickup and delivery costs and $100 million in sortation costs that were driven by increased compensation and benefits expense for our union workforce. Compensation expense increased due to the contractual rates under our Teamsters contract, partially offset by a reduction in direct labor hours. Contractual rate increases for contributions to multiemployer benefit plans drove the increase in benefits expense.
Total cost per piece increased 4.2% for the quarter and adjusted cost per piece increased 4.1%, as the reduction in volume more than offset the decrease in overall expenses. We anticipate the cost per piece growth rate will increase further in the second quarter and then moderate for the remainder of the year.
Operating Profit and Margin
As a result of the factors described above, revenue declines were greater than operating expense reductions and operating profit decreased $641 million in the first quarter, with operating margin decreasing 400 basis points to 5.8%. Adjusted operating profit decreased $649 million, with adjusted operating margin decreasing 400 basis points to 5.9%.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Volume
Average daily volume for both export and domestic products decreased in the quarter. Business-to-consumer volume decreased 11.1% and business-to-business volume decreased 3.7%. Challenging economic conditions and geopolitical factors contributed to the volume declines. Volume declines were primarily attributable to SMBs, although volume from large customers also declined, with declines driven by the retail and manufacturing sectors, while the technology sector exhibited moderate volume growth. We expect year-over-year average daily volume to be relatively flat in the second quarter and to improve in the second half of the year, dependent on an improvement in global macroeconomic conditions.
Export volume decreased for the quarter, primarily driven by declines on intra-Europe trade lanes. These declines were partially offset by increases on the Americas to U.S. trade lanes, as manufacturing and distribution moves closer to the U.S. consumer market. We also experienced volume improvements on the China to U.S. trade lane during the quarter. The intra-Europe volume decline was primarily due to lower consumer spending as a result of economic conditions.
Our premium products experienced volume declines of 9.6% for the quarter, primarily in our Worldwide and Transborder Express Saver products. These declines resulted from continuing shifts in customer product preferences. Volume in our non-premium products decreased 1.6% for the quarter, driven by declines in our Transborder Standard product, primarily within Europe. The declines in both our premium and non-premium products were due to the macroeconomic conditions described above.
Domestic volume declined in the quarter, with the largest declines in Germany, Canada and the United Kingdom as challenging economic conditions in those countries reduced consumer spending.
Revenue Per Piece
In December 2023, we implemented an average 5.9% net increase in base and accessorial rates for international shipments originating in the United States. Rate changes for shipments originating outside the U.S. are made throughout the year and vary by geographic market.
Total revenue per piece increased 2.0% for the quarter, primarily due to base rate increases. This was partially offset by declines in fuel and demand-related surcharges, as well as unfavorable currency movements. Excluding the impact of currency, revenue per piece increased 2.5% for the quarter. We anticipate overall revenue per piece growth will be relatively flat in the second quarter and will decline in the second half of the year due to the continued shift to non-premium products.
Export revenue per piece decreased 0.6% for the quarter. The decrease was primarily attributable to changes in product mix due to the shifts in customer preferences. Declines in revenue per piece were mostly offset by base rate increases. Excluding the impact of currency, export revenue per piece remained flat relative to last year.
Domestic revenue per piece increased 5.5% for the quarter, primarily due to the rate increases discussed above. Excluding the impact of currency, domestic revenue per piece increased 6.1% for the quarter.
Fuel Surcharges
The fuel surcharge we apply to international air services originating inside or outside the U.S. is largely indexed to the DOE's Gulf Coast spot price for a gallon of kerosene-type jet fuel. The fuel surcharges for ground services originating outside the U.S. are indexed to fuel prices in the region or country where the shipment originates.
Total international fuel surcharge revenue decreased $59 million for the quarter, due to a decrease in price per gallon and volume declines, partially offset by higher surcharge modifiers. Based on our current commodity market outlook, we expect fuel surcharge revenue will increase in the second quarter.

UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Operating Expenses
Operating expenses and adjusted operating expenses decreased for the quarter, primarily due to:
•Reductions in the cost of operating our integrated air and ground network, which decreased $125 million, driven by lower fuel prices and reductions in air charters and aircraft block hours.
•Lower pickup and delivery costs, which decreased $22 million as a result of lower volumes and the impact of cost management initiatives.
On an unadjusted basis, these reductions were partially offset by the impact of year-over-year increases in employee separation costs as we continued to right-size our business.
Operating Profit and Margin
As a result of the factors described above, operating profit decreased $172 million for the quarter, with operating margin decreasing 280 basis points to 15.4%. Adjusted operating profit decreased $124 million and adjusted operating margin decreased 170 basis points to 16.0%.
Increased geopolitical uncertainty continues to impact volumes in our International Package segment. As previously disclosed, substantially all of our operations in Russia and Belarus have been suspended, and we expect to complete the liquidation of our Small Package and Forwarding and Logistics subsidiaries in these countries by end of 2024. Substantially all of our operations in Ukraine remain indefinitely suspended. These actions have not had, and are not expected to have, a material impact on us.

Revenue
Total revenue in Supply Chain Solutions decreased for the quarter. This was primarily due to declines in our Forwarding business, with both truckload brokerage and freight forwarding revenues decreasing, and declines within certain of our other businesses. These declines were partially offset by revenue growth in our Logistics businesses.
•Revenue in our truckload brokerage business decreased $148 million due to lower volumes and a decline in market rates. These decreases were partially offset by volume increases from SMBs as a result of our revenue quality initiatives.
•International airfreight revenue decreased approximately $53 million due to continued weakness in market demand, impacting both volumes and rates. We expect improvements in market demand and tightening capacity, particularly on Asia export lanes, which are expected to lead to revenue growth in the second half of 2024.
•The remaining reduction in revenue was primarily attributable to our ocean freight forwarding business, driven by a change in product mix that drove growth in volume but at lower rates. We expect revenue to remain challenged in the second quarter as capacity increases are expected to continue to exceed demand.
Within our Logistics businesses, revenue increased $132 million. The acquisition of MNX Global Logistics in the fourth quarter of 2023 contributed $90 million of the increase, with the remainder driven by growth in clinical trials and pharmaceuticals within our healthcare operations. Revenue in mail services remained relatively flat as rate increases and a favorable shift in product characteristics were offset by a decrease in volume.
Revenue from other businesses within Supply Chain Solutions decreased, driven by a reduction of $69 million from lower volumes under contracts with the USPS. Revenue from transition services provided to the acquirer of UPS Freight declined $34 million as we continue to wind down these arrangements. These reductions were partially offset by higher revenue from our digital businesses due to business growth and the impact of the acquisition of Happy Returns in the fourth quarter of 2023. We expect revenue from our other Supply Chain Solutions businesses will increase during the second half of 2024 as this is where we will report the revenue related to the additional air cargo volume under our recently announced agreement with the USPS.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses and adjusted operating expenses within Supply Chain Solutions decreased for the quarter.
Forwarding operating expenses decreased $229 million, primarily due to a reduction of approximately $196 million in purchased transportation expense as a result of lower market rates across our businesses, and decreased volumes in both the airfreight and truckload brokerage businesses. We expect our operating expenses will increase during the second half of 2024 driven by expected higher volumes.
Logistics operating expenses increased $124 million, driven by the impact of the acquisition of MNX Global Logistics which contributed $88 million of the increase. Expenses in our healthcare operations increased $43 million, primarily due to higher rates for third-party transportation. Operating expenses in mail services were relatively flat. On an unadjusted basis, Logistics operating expenses were also impacted by a charge to write down the value of certain trade names acquired as part of the Bomi Group acquisition.
Expenses in our other Supply Chain Solutions businesses decreased, largely driven by the reduction in transportation costs incurred to fulfill our obligations to the USPS under existing agreements. Costs incurred to procure transportation for, and provide transition services to, the acquirer of UPS Freight also decreased as we continued to wind down these arrangements. These decreases were partially offset by higher operating costs within our digital businesses. On an unadjusted basis, these decreases were offset by the impact of transformation and other costs, including an expense related to a regulatory matter. We expect expenses in our other Supply Chain Solutions businesses will increase during the second half of 2024, as this is where we will report expenses related to the additional air cargo volume under our recently announced agreement with the USPS.
Operating Profit and Margin
As a result of the factors described above, total operating profit decreased $115 million, with operating margin decreasing 320 basis points to 4.1%. On an adjusted basis, operating profit decreased $32 million with adjusted operating margin decreasing 60 basis points to 7.0%.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Compensation and Benefits
Total compensation and benefits and adjusted total compensation and benefits increased in the first quarter. Compensation costs increased $97 million. The principal factors contributing to the increase were:
•Direct labor costs increased $199 million. Contractual wage rate increases for our U.S. union workforce resulted in an increase in costs of $328 million. This was partially offset by the impact of reductions in U.S. direct labor hours and administrative headcount due to volume declines, which reduced expense by $207 million. The remaining increase was driven by changes in seniority within our workforce. We expect wage rate growth to remain elevated on a year-over-year basis in the second quarter before moderating during the second half of 2024 as a result of the terms of our contract with the Teamsters.
•Management compensation costs decreased $73 million due to a reduction in incentive compensation expense and lower overall headcount.
Benefits costs increased $78 million for the quarter, and increased $35 million on an adjusted basis. The principal factors driving the increase were:
•Accruals for paid time off, payroll taxes and other costs increased $43 million, primarily due to contractual wage rate growth.
•Health and welfare costs increased $39 million, driven by increased contributions to multiemployer plans as a result of contractually-mandated rate increases.
•Workers' compensation expense decreased $29 million due to favorable developments in prior year claims counts.
•Pension and other postretirement benefits expense decreased $12 million as reductions in participating headcount more than offset increases in service costs under Company-sponsored plans due to lower discount rates and benefit increases under the terms of the Teamsters contract.
•Other employee benefits expense increased $37 million due to separation costs incurred as we continued to right-size our business for the future. On an adjusted basis, other employee benefits expense remained relatively flat.
Repairs and Maintenance
The decrease in repairs and maintenance expense was primarily due to the deferral of aircraft engine maintenance, as the declines in volume resulted in the temporary idling of certain aircraft. This was partially offset by an increase in routine repairs to buildings and facilities. We expect these expense trends to continue in the second quarter.
Depreciation and Amortization
We incurred higher depreciation expense as a result of facility automation and expansion projects coming into service. Amortization expense for capitalized software investments in support of our strategic initiatives increased, and we recorded additional amortization expense for intangible assets due to the acquisitions of MNX Global Logistics and Happy Returns in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Purchased Transportation
Third-party transportation expense charged to us by air, ocean and ground carriers decreased for the quarter. The changes were primarily driven by:
•Supply Chain Solutions expense decreased $123 million, driven by volume declines and lower market rates paid for services in our Forwarding businesses. This was partially offset by expense increases in our logistics operations due to business growth and the impact of the acquisition of MNX Global Logistics.
•U.S. Domestic expense decreased $116 million due to overall volume declines, a reduction in ground volume handled by third-party carriers and other network optimization initiatives. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in delivery costs for our SurePost product as a result of higher volume.
•International Package expense decreased $56 million, primarily due to declines in volume.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Fuel
The reduction in fuel expense for the quarter was driven by lower prices for jet fuel, diesel and gasoline, and the impact of lower volumes. Market prices and the manner in which we purchase fuel influence our costs. The majority of our fuel purchases utilize index-based pricing formulas plus or minus a fixed locational/supplier differential. While many of the indices are correlated, each index may respond differently to changes in underlying prices, which in turn can drive variability in our costs.
Other Occupancy
Other occupancy expense increased for the quarter, primarily due to increases in property rents. A decrease in utilities expense as a result of declines in rates and usage was offset by higher costs related to winter weather events.

Other Expenses
Other expenses decreased $30 million for the quarter. We recorded a $41 million charge to write down the value of certain trade names acquired as part of our acquisition of Bomi Group as we consolidate our brands, and a $7 million impairment charge related to software licenses. Additionally, we incurred $55 million of transformation and other costs, including an expense related to a regulatory matter. On an adjusted basis, other expenses decreased $110 million, primarily due to the following:
•A reduction in outsourcing and consulting fees of $50 million driven by a decrease in project-based engagements and higher capitalization of third-party software development costs.
•Reductions in vehicle lease expense of $57 million due to volume declines.
•Claims expense decreased $20 million due to a reduction in the volume of customer claims.
These reductions were partly offset by:
•Credit loss increases of $47 million across our segments as a result of an increased number of customer bankruptcies and increases in reserves.
•RFID supplies for Smart Package Smart Facility increased $30 million as we expanded utilization.
•Hosted software application fees and other technology costs that support ongoing investments in our digital transformation increased $15 million.
Other expense reductions during the quarter were primarily associated with volume declines, including employee-related expenses, airline operational expenses, advertising costs and insurance.

Other pension income remained flat as higher expected returns on pension assets were offset by an increase in interest cost as a result of plan growth and changes in demographic assumptions.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased for the quarter due to higher average outstanding debt balances, partially offset by an increase in capitalized interest.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We deploy a disciplined and balanced approach to capital allocation, including returns to shareowners through dividends and share repurchases. As of March 31, 2024, we had $4.5 billion in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. We believe that these positions, expected cash from operations, access to commercial paper programs and capital markets and other available liquidity options will be adequate to fund our material short- and long-term cash requirements, including our business operations, planned capital expenditures, pension contributions, planned acquisitions, transformation costs, debt obligations and planned shareowner returns. We regularly evaluate opportunities to optimize our capital structure, including through issuances of debt to refinance existing debt and to fund operations.

Net cash from operating activities increased $959 million for the quarter primarily due to a decrease in contributions to our company-sponsored, defined benefit pension and postretirement medical plans. Net cash was also favorably impacted by:
•A reduction in hedge margin collateral outflows due to changes in the fair value of derivative contracts used in our currency hedging programs.
•Working capital benefits from lower incentive compensation payments and payment of deferred employer payroll taxes in 2023 that did not repeat.
These factors were partially offset by:
•The reduction in net income.
•A decrease in income taxes payable, primarily driven by business performance.
As of March 31, 2024, approximately $2.0 billion of our total worldwide holdings of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were held by foreign subsidiaries. The amount of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities held by our U.S. and foreign subsidiaries fluctuates throughout the year due to a variety of factors, including the timing of cash receipts, strategic operating needs and disbursements in the normal course of business. Cash provided by operating activities in the U.S. continues to be our primary source of funds to finance domestic operating needs, capital expenditures, share repurchases, pension contributions and dividend payments to shareowners. All cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities held by foreign subsidiaries are generally available for distribution to the U.S. without any U.S. federal income taxes. Any such distributions may be subject to foreign withholding and U.S. state taxes. When amounts earned by foreign subsidiaries are expected to be indefinitely reinvested, no accrual for taxes is provided. As of March 31, 2024, we had $93 million of restricted cash. For more information on restricted cash, see note 1 to the unaudited, consolidated financial statements.

Other investing activities $ (14) $ 17 
We have commitments for the purchase of aircraft, vehicles, equipment and real estate to provide for the replacement of existing capacity and anticipated future growth. Future capital spending for anticipated growth and replacement assets will depend on a variety of factors, including economic and industry conditions. Our 2024 investment program anticipates investments in technology initiatives and enhanced network capabilities, including approximately $1.0 billion of projects that support our environmental sustainability goals. It also provides for the maintenance of buildings, facilities and equipment and replacement of certain aircraft within our fleet. We currently expect that our capital expenditures will total approximately $4.5 billion in 2024, of which approximately 50 percent will be allocated to network enhancement projects and other technology initiatives.
For the quarter, total capital expenditures increased, primarily due to:
•Vehicle expenditure increases, driven by the timing of payments and availability of vehicle replacements.
•Information technology expenditure increases due to additional deployments of technology equipment and capitalized software projects.
•Aircraft expenditure increases due to final payments associated with the delivery of aircraft.
These were partially offset by decreased spending on buildings, facilities and plant equipment, driven by the timing of network enhancement projects.
We received cash proceeds of $2.6 billion from the sale of marketable securities due to the liquidation of our portfolio to provide additional resources for short-term and strategic operating needs.
Cash paid for acquisitions in both 2024 and 2023 related to the purchase of development areas for The UPS Store. Other investing activities were impacted by changes in our non-current investments, purchase contract deposits and various other immaterial items.

We did not repurchase any shares under our stock repurchase program during first quarter of 2024, and we do not currently anticipate repurchasing any shares during the remainder of the year. We repurchased 4.1 million shares of class B common stock for $750 million during the first quarter of 2023. For additional information on our share repurchase activities, see note 12 to the unaudited, consolidated financial statements.
The declaration of dividends is subject to the discretion of the Board and depends on various factors, including our net income, financial condition, cash requirements, future prospects and other relevant factors. In the first quarter, we increased our quarterly cash dividend from $1.62 to $1.63 per share.
There were no issuances of debt during the quarter. Issuances of debt during the first quarter of 2023 consisted of fixed and floating rate senior notes of varying maturities totaling $2.5 billion.
Repayments of debt during the quarter consisted of $2.2 billion of short- and long-term commercial paper as well as scheduled principal payments on our finance lease obligations. In the first quarter of 2023, we made scheduled principal payments on our finance lease obligations and repaid certain amounts assumed in the Bomi Group acquisition.
As of March 31, 2024, we had $1.5 billion of fixed-rate senior notes outstanding that mature in 2024. We intend to repay or refinance these amounts when due. We consider the overall fixed and floating interest rate mix of our portfolio and the related overall cost of borrowing when planning for future issuances and non-scheduled repayments of debt.

As of March 31, 2024, we had no outstanding balances under our U.S. or European commercial paper programs.
The variation in cash received from common stock issuances primarily resulted from activity within the UPS 401(k) Savings Plan and our employee stock purchase plan in both the current and comparative period.
Other financing activities includes cash used to repurchase shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations on vested employee stock awards. Cash outflows for this purpose were $177 and $363 million for the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively. The decrease was driven by changes in required repurchase amounts.
Except as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, we do not have guarantees or other off-balance sheet financing arrangements, including variable interest entities, which we believe could have a material impact on our financial condition or liquidity.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risk from changes in certain commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices. All of these market risks arise in the normal course of business, as we do not engage in speculative trading activities. In order to manage the risk arising from these exposures, we may utilize a variety of commodity, foreign currency exchange and interest rate forward contracts, options and swaps. A discussion of our accounting policies for derivative instruments and further disclosures are provided in note 15 to the unaudited, consolidated financial statements.
The total net fair value asset (liability) of our derivative financial instruments is summarized in the following table (in millions):
March 31,
2024
December 31,
2023
Currency Derivatives $ 161  $ 66 
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had no outstanding commodity hedge positions.
The information concerning market risk in Item 7A under the caption "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 is incorporated herein by reference.
Our market risks, hedging strategies and financial instrument positions as of March 31, 2024 have not materially changed from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. In the first quarter of 2024, we entered into foreign currency exchange forward contracts on the Euro, British Pound Sterling, Canadian Dollar and Hong Kong Dollar, and had forward contracts expire. The fair value changes between December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024 in the preceding table are primarily due to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations between those dates.
The foreign currency exchange forward contracts, swaps and options previously discussed contain an element of risk that the counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements; however, we seek to minimize such risk exposures for these instruments by limiting the counterparties to banks and financial institutions that meet established credit guidelines and by monitoring counterparty credit risk to prevent concentrations of credit risk with any single counterparty.
We have agreements with all of our active counterparties (covering all of our derivative positions) containing early termination rights and/or bilateral collateral provisions whereby cash is required based on the net fair value of derivatives associated with those counterparties. The majority of these agreements require exchange of collateral when positions exceed $250 million.
Events such as a credit rating downgrade (depending on the ultimate rating level) could also allow us to take additional protective measures such as the early termination of trades. As of March 31, 2024, we held cash collateral of $82 million and were not required to post any collateral with our counterparties under these agreements. We have not historically incurred, and do not expect to incur in the future, any losses as a result of counterparty default.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act")). Based upon, and as of the date of, the evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(the “Company”) who are designated for participation in Section 3(a) of this Plan or who are otherwise designated for participation by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee (or its successor, the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) from time to time (collectively, “Participants”). Certain capitalized terms used in this Plan have the meanings ascribed to them in Section 8(k) or Section 14 of this Plan.
2.    Purpose. The purpose of this Plan is to set forth certain compensation and benefits that are due to a Participant upon the Participant’s termination of employment with the Company as described herein.
3.    Participation.
(a)    Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be a Participant in this Plan only if such employee is (i) the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “CEO”), (ii) an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary classified by the Company as being in “Band 80” according to the Company’s policies and procedures (a “Tier 2 Participant”), (iii) an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary classified as being in “Band 70” in accordance with the Company’s policies and procedures (a “Tier 3 Participant”), or (iv) an employee of the Company or a Subsidiary classified as being in “Band 60” in accordance with the Company’s policies and procedures (a “Tier 4 Participant”). For purposes of determining the benefits (if any) to which a Participant is entitled under this Plan upon a termination of employment, the Participant’s participation tier under this Plan shall be determined as of the Participant’s Termination Date.
(b)    Each Participant is an at-will employee whose employment may be terminated by the Participant or the Company at any time for any reason. Upon the termination of employment of a Participant, this Plan shall govern the rights and responsibilities of the Company and the Participant with respect to the matters addressed by this Plan.
4.    Qualifying Termination of Employment. If the Company terminates the employment of a Participant (other than due to Cause, a Disability Termination, or the Participant’s death), then the Company will pay and provide to the Participant the amounts and benefits specified in this Section 4 subject to the Participant’s compliance with the terms of this Plan (including Section 8 hereof), except that the Company will not be obligated to pay or provide the benefits specified in Section 4 (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) (collectively, the “Severance Benefits”) unless either (x) the Company is deemed to have waived its right to present and require a Release as provided in Section 7(b) or (y) the Participant has timely executed (and not revoked) a Release as contemplated by Section 7(c). The amounts and benefits specified in this Section 4 are as follows:
(a)    an amount in cash equal to the sum of (i) the Participant’s Annual Base Salary for the year in which the termination of employment occurs that has been earned as of the Termination Date, (ii) Participant’s business expenses that are reimbursable pursuant to applicable Company policies and procedures and (iii) any accrued but unused paid time off for the calendar year through the Termination Date, in each case to the extent not already paid in accordance with Company policy (collectively, “Accrued Base Compensation”). The Company will pay this amount to the Participant within 30 days following the Termination Date and in accordance with applicable law;
(b) an amount in cash equal in value to the product of (i) the dollar value of the percentage of the Participant’s Target Annual Bonus that would have been earned for the fiscal year in which the termination of employment occurs, based on actual performance results for the full fiscal year performance period, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months that the Participant was employed by the Company or a Subsidiary during the applicable fiscal year, and the denominator of which is twelve (12). For clarity, one day worked in a month shall count as a full month. Such amount will be in lieu of any other benefits under the MIP or any other annual incentive program for the fiscal year in which the termination of employment occurs. The Company will pay this amount to the Participant at the time it would have been paid pursuant to the MIP or other annual incentive program, as applicable, and in all events in compliance with Section 409A;



(c)    a lump sum amount in cash equal to the Participant’s Applicable Cash Severance Amount. Subject to Section 10, the Company will pay this amount to the Participant as soon as practicable (but no later than 74 days) following the Termination Date;
(d)    a lump sum amount in cash equal to the portion of the Participant’s monthly COBRA premium for the Participant and the Participant’s dependents to the extent it exceeds the monthly premium amount paid by the Participant for such coverage immediately prior to the Termination times the number of months in the Participant’s Applicable COBRA Period (which payment shall be taxable to the Participant). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Plan shall prohibit the Company from amending or terminating any group health plan. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, in the event that the payment of amounts payable under this subsection (d) shall result in adverse tax consequences under Chapter 100 of the Code, Code Section 4980D or otherwise to the Company, the Participant and the Company shall undertake commercially reasonable efforts to restructure such benefit in an economically equivalent manner to avoid the imposition of such taxes on the Company, provided, however, that should the Company’s auditors determine in good faith that no such alternative arrangement is achievable, the Participant shall not be entitled to his or her rights to payment under this subsection (d). Further, neither the Company nor any of its employees, directors, managers, board members, affiliates, parents, stakeholders, shareowners, agents, successors, predecessors or related parties guarantees the tax treatment of any benefit under this subsection (d), and no such person shall have liability to the Participant or his or her beneficiaries with respect to the taxation of such benefits or amounts payable in respect thereof;
(e)    reasonable career counseling services through a provider of the Company’s choice with a value not to exceed the Applicable Career Counseling Amount. Such benefit shall be taxable to the Participant. Such career counseling services cannot extend beyond the last day of the first calendar year following the calendar year of termination of the Participant’s employment; and
(f)    to the extent granted by the Company to the Participant on or after the effective date of this Plan pursuant to the United Parcel Service, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan or any successor plan (the “2021 Plan”), (i) Restricted Performance Units (as defined in the 2021 Plan) granted under the MIP or the UPS Long-Term Incentive Performance Program that are outstanding as of the Termination Date shall be treated as though the termination of the Participant’s employment was a “Retirement” pursuant to the terms of the 2021 Plan and applicable award documents, (ii) Options (as defined in the 2021 Plan), to the extent vested as of the Termination Date (other than as described in (iii) below), shall remain exercisable until the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of the Termination Date and (y) the original expiration date for such Options, and (iii) Options that vest as a result of a Participant’s “Retirement” shall be exercisable until the tenth anniversary of the Grant Date of such Option.
(g)    Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 4, equity compensation awards granted to the Participant on or after the effective date of this Plan shall be treated as set forth in the 2021 Plan and applicable award documents and any other then-effective agreement with the Participant that may alter the treatment of such equity compensation awards upon such Participant’s termination of employment.
(h)    Except for the benefits stated in this Section 4, such Participant’s participation in all benefit plans, programs and arrangements of the Company shall be governed by the terms of the plans, programs or arrangements, if any, governing such benefits. No Participant shall receive a duplication of payments or benefits under Section 4 and Section 5 of this Plan. If a Participant has an individual severance agreement with the Company, any amount paid under that severance agreement shall be offset against the Severance Benefits provided under this Plan.



5.    Termination for Cause; Voluntary Termination. If the Company terminates the employment of a Participant due to Cause, a Disability Termination, or the Participant’s death, or a Participant voluntarily terminates employment with the Company, the Company shall pay or provide to the Participant his or her Accrued Base Compensation. The Accrued Base Compensation shall be payable within 30 days following the Termination Date. Except for the benefits stated in this Section 5, the Participant’s participation in all benefit plans, programs and arrangements of the Company shall be governed by the terms of the plans, programs or arrangements, if any, governing such benefits. No Participant shall receive a duplication of payments or benefits under Section 4 and Section 5 of this Plan.
6.    Treatment of Other Equity Compensation Awards on Termination. Each equity compensation award granted by the Company to the Participant prior to the effective date of this Plan pursuant to the United Parcel Service, Inc. 2015 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan, the United Parcel Service, Inc. 2018 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan, or the 2021 Plan (collectively, the “Equity Plans”) and outstanding as of the Termination Date shall be treated as set forth in the applicable Equity Plan and award document and any other then-effective agreement with the Participant that may alter the treatment of such equity compensation award upon such Participant’s termination of employment.
7.    Release. This Section 7 will apply only upon termination of a Participant’s employment by the Company other than due to Cause, a Disability Termination, or the Participant’s death, as further described in this Plan.
(a)    Presentation of Release by the Company. If this Section 7 applies, the Company may present to the Participant, not later than 21 days after the Termination Date, a release, in a form reasonably acceptable to and provided by the Company (a “Release”), of all current and future claims, known or unknown, arising on or before the date on which the Release is to be executed, that the Participant or the Participant’s assigns have or may have against the Company or any Subsidiary, and the directors, officers, and affiliates of any of them (which Release will require the Participant to affirm the Participant’s obligations as set forth in this Plan).
(b)    Effect of Failure by the Company to Present Release. If the Company fails to present a Release to the Participant as contemplated by Section 7(a), the Company will be deemed to have waived the requirement that the Participant execute a Release as a condition to receiving payments under any portion of Section 4.
(c)    Execution of Release by the Participant or the Participant’s Personal Representative. If the Company does present a Release to the Participant as contemplated by Section 7(a), the Participant will have until the end of the applicable time period for consideration set forth in the Release (the “Consideration Period”) to deliver an executed copy of the Release to the Company and thereby satisfy the condition to receiving payments under any portion of Section 4, provided that the Participant does not revoke the execution of the Release during any applicable revocation period.
(d)    Effect of Failure to Execute Release or of Revocation of Release. If the Participant fails to deliver an executed copy of the Release to the Company by the end of the Consideration Period or revokes the execution of the Release during any applicable revocation period, the Participant will be deemed to have waived the right to receive all Severance Benefits.
8.    Restrictive Covenants.



(a) Acknowledgements. By participating in this Plan, each Participant acknowledges and agrees that, by reason of the Participant’s highly specialized skillset and the Company’s investment of time, training, money, trust, and exposure to Confidential Information, the Participant is intimately involved in the planning and direction of the Company’s global business operations. Each Participant further acknowledges and agrees that the Participant’s agreement to enter into, and the Participant’s compliance with, the covenants in this Section 8 are material factors in the Company’s decision to permit the Participant to participate in this Plan, which constitutes good and valuable consideration for the covenants set forth in this Section 8. Participant further acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach of any of the covenants in this Section 8 would result in material and irreparable damage and injury to the Company and that it would be difficult or impossible to establish the full monetary value of such damage. Participant further acknowledges and agrees that the covenants in this Section 8 are reasonable, necessary, and essential for the Company to protect its legitimate business interests in: (i) the Company’s trade secrets (as defined under applicable law, including the Georgia Trade Secrets Act of 1990 (the “Act”) and the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (the “DTSA”)); (ii) the Company’s valuable Confidential Information; (iii) substantial relationships with specific prospective or existing customers of the Company; (iv) customer good will associated with (A) the business of the Company, including, but not limited to, by way of trade name, trademark, service mark, or trade dress, (B) a specific geographic location; or (C) a specific marketing or trade area; and (v) extraordinary or specialized training you have received or will receive. Participant further acknowledges and agrees (i) by reason of the Company’s investment of time, training, money, trust, exposure to the public, or exposure to customers, vendors, or other business relationships during the course of Participant’s employment with the Company, Participant has attained or will attain a high level of influence or credibility with the Company’s Protected Customers, vendors, or other business relationships; and (ii) by reason of working for the Company, is or will be in possession of selective or specialized skills, learning, or abilities, or customer contacts or customer information, or Confidential Information. Finally, Participant further acknowledges and agrees that the scope of responsibilities of the position extends throughout the geographic area where the Company has conducted and will conduct business during Participant’s employment, and that Participant’s work for the Company has brought and will bring Participant into close contact with many of the Company’s customers, trade secrets and confidential and proprietary information.
(b)    Unfair Competition. By Participating in this Plan, each Participant acknowledges and agrees that, as a result of the Participant’s receipt of Confidential Information, the Participant’s role at the Company, and the Participant’s relationships with Company customers and/or employees the Participant would have an unfair competitive advantage if the Participant were to violate this Section 8 and that, in the event that the Participant’s employment with the Company terminates for any reason, the Participant possesses marketable skills and abilities that will enable the Participant to find suitable employment without violating the covenants set forth in this Section 8. Each Participant further acknowledges and affirms that the Participant is accepting participating in this Plan voluntarily, that the Participant has read this Plan carefully, that the Participant has had a full and reasonable opportunity to consider this Plan (including actual consultation with legal counsel), and that the Participant has not been pressured or in any way coerced, threatened or intimidated into participating in this Plan.



(c) Non-Disclosure and Prohibition Against Use of Confidential Information and Trade Secrets. By participating in this Plan, each Participant agrees that the Participant will not, directly or indirectly, reveal, divulge, or disclose any Confidential Information or Trade Secrets to any person not expressly authorized by the Company to receive such information. Each Participant further agrees that the Participant will not, directly or indirectly, use or make use of any Confidential Information or Trade Secrets in connection with any business activity other than business activity that the Participant is pursuing on behalf of the Company. Each Participant acknowledges and agrees that this Section 8 is not intended to, and does not, alter either the Company’s rights or the Participant’s obligations under any state or federal statutory or common law regarding trade secrets and unfair trade practices. The act of emailing Confidential Information or Trade Secrets or both to Participant’s personal email address is considered to be a breach of this section. Each Participant also understands that nothing contained in this Section 8 limits the Participant’s ability to communicate with any federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (“Government Agencies”) or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agencies in connection with any charge or complaint, whether filed by the Participant, on the Participant’s behalf, or by any other individual. Each Participant additionally understands and agrees that as required by the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (“DTSA”), 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b), the Participant has been notified that if the Participant makes a confidential disclosure of a Company Trade Secret (as defined in 18 U.S.C. § 1839) to a government official or an attorney for the sole purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or in a complaint or other document filed in a legal proceeding, so long as any document the Participant files containing the trade secret is filed under seal and the Participant does not disclose the trade secret except pursuant to court order, the Participant shall not be held civilly or criminally liable under this Plan or under any federal or state trade secret law for such a disclosure. The DTSA does not authorize, or limit liability for, an act that is otherwise prohibited by law, such as the unlawful access of material by unauthorized means. Each Participant promises that, no later than the end of the Participant’s Company employment, he or she will return to the Company all files, memoranda, documents, records, credit cards, keys, computers, printers, telephones, and other property of the Company or its affiliates in the Participant’s possession, custody, or control, including without limitation all Confidential Information. To the extent that a Participant has electronic files or information in Participant’s personal possession or under his or her control that belong to the Company or contain Confidential Information (specifically including without limitation electronic files or information stored on personal computers, mobile devices, electronic media, or in cloud storage), each Participant promises that he or she will notify the Company in writing as to such possession or control prior to the Termination Date, and, if requested to do so by the Company, no later than the Termination Date, the Participant will cooperate with the Company, and take direction from the Company, regarding the deletion or return of all such files and information, including all copies and derivatives thereof from all non-Company-owned computers, mobile devices, electronic media, cloud storage, and other media, devices, and equipment, such that such files and information are permanently deleted and irretrievable. If, after the Termination Date, Participant becomes aware that Participant has electronic files or information in Participant’s personal possession or under Participant’s control that belong to the Company or contain Confidential Information (specifically including without limitation electronic files or information stored on personal computers, mobile devices, electronic media, or in cloud storage), Participant promises that he or she will immediately so notify the Company and cooperate with the Company, and take direction from the Company, regarding the deletion or return of all such files and information, including all copies and derivatives thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, Participant is not permitted to delete any Company files or information from any computers, mobile devices, electronic media, or in cloud storage (including those owned personally by Participant) unless directed to do so in writing by the Company. To the extent requested by the Company, whether prior to or after the Termination Date, Participant will voluntarily participate in a process involving a forensic computer specialist chosen by the Company to identify, quarantine, preserve and delete all electronic files or information, including all copies and derivatives thereof, in Participant’s possession or under Participant’s control that belong to the Company or contain Confidential Information.

(d)    Non-Solicitation of Protected Employees. During the Non-Solicit Restricted Period, a Participant will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, solicit or induce or attempt to solicit or induce any Protected Employee to terminate or cease his/her employment relationship with the Company or to enter into employment with the Participant or any other person or entity. This employee non-solicitation provision is limited to the geographic area where the Company did business during Participant’s employment.
(e)    Non-Solicitation of Protected Customers. During the Non-Solicit Restricted Period, a Participant will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, solicit, divert, take away or attempt to solicit, divert or take away a Protected Customer for purposes of providing products and services that are competitive with those provided by the Company.
(f)    Covenant Not to Compete. During the Non-Compete Restricted Period, a Participant will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, (i) work for a Restricted Competitor; (ii) provide consulting services to a Restricted Competitor; or (iii) otherwise provide services to a Restricted Competitor, in each of (i) through (iii) that involves the provision of services that are similar to or relate to those services that the Participant provided to the Company at any time during Participant’s employment and that relate, in any way, directly or indirectly, to the Restricted Competitor’s competition with the transportation, delivery or logistics services provided by the Company during the Participant’s employment. This non-compete provision is limited to the geographic area where the Company did business during the Participant’s employment.



(g) Enforcement. Each Participant acknowledges and agrees that the covenants in Section 8(c) through 8(f) (“Protective Covenants”) are necessary to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests. In the event that a Participant breaches, or threatens to breach, the Protective Covenants, the Participant agrees that the Company shall have the right and remedy to: (i) enjoin the Participant, preliminarily and permanently (without the necessity of posting bond), from violating or threatening to violate the Protective Covenants because any breach or threatened breach of the Protective Covenants would cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy; (ii) require the Participant to account for and pay over to the Company all compensation, profits, monies, or other benefits derived or received by the Participant as the result of any breach of the Protective Covenants; and (iii) require the Participant to pay the reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the Company in enforcing the Protective Covenants. In addition, in the event of such a violation, the Participant will automatically forfeit any portion of the Severance Benefits that have not already been paid to the Participant at the time of the violation.
(h)    Severability/Reformation. Each Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Protective Covenants are reasonable in time, scope, geography and all other respects and that they will be considered and construed as separate and independent covenants. Should any part or provision of any of the Protective Covenants be held invalid, void or unenforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction, each Participant understands and agrees that such invalidity, voidness or unenforceability does not invalidate, void or otherwise render unenforceable any other part or provision of this Plan. Each Participant further agrees that, in the event any court of competent jurisdiction finds any of the Protective Covenants to be invalid or unenforceable (in whole or in part), such court shall modify the invalid or unenforceable term so that the Protective Covenants are enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
(i)    Tolling During Violation. In the event the enforceability of any of the terms of this Plan is challenged in a court of competent jurisdiction and Participant is not enjoined from breaching any of the restrictive covenants, then if a court of competent jurisdiction finds that the challenged restrictive covenant(s) is enforceable, the time periods set forth herein shall be deemed tolled upon the filing of the claim challenging the enforceability of this Plan until the dispute is finally resolved and all periods of appeal have expired.
(j)    Disclosure. In the event that a Participant leaves the Company for any reason, the Participant agrees to disclose the existence and terms of this Section 8 to any prospective employer, partner, co-venturer, investor or lender prior to entering into an employment, partnership or other business relationship with such prospective employer, partner, co-venturer, investor or lender.
(k)    Definitions. Solely for purposes of this Section 8, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
(i)    “Company” means, for purposes of this Section 8 only, United Parcel Service, Inc., a Delaware Corporation with its principal place of business in Atlanta, Georgia, and all of its Affiliates (as defined in O.C.G.A. § 13-8-51(1)).
(ii)    “Confidential Information” means all information regarding the Company, its activities, businesses or customers which the Participant learned as a result of the Participant’s employment, that is valuable to the Company and that is not generally disclosed by practice or authority to persons not employed or otherwise engaged by the Company, whether or not it constitutes a Trade Secret. “Confidential Information” shall include, but is not limited to, financial plans and data; legal affairs; management planning information; business plans; acquisition plans; operational methods and technology; market studies; marketing plans or strategies; product development techniques or plans; customer lists; details of customer contracts; current and anticipated customer requirements and specifications; customer pricing and profitability data; past, current and planned research and development; employee-related information and new personnel acquisition plans. “Confidential Information” shall not include information that is or becomes generally available to the public by the act of one who has the right to disclose such information without violating any right or privilege of the Company. However, although certain information may be generally known in the relevant industry, the fact that the Company uses such information may not be so known and in such instance the information would compromise Confidential Information. This definition shall not limit any definition of “confidential information” or any equivalent term under applicable state or federal law.



(iii)    “Material Contact” means the contact between Participant and each customer or actively sought potential customer of the Company: (A) with whom or with which Participant dealt on behalf of the Company in support of the initiation, maintenance or furtherance of a business relationship between Company and each customer or actively sought potential customer; (B) whose dealings with the Company were coordinated or supervised by Participant; (C) about whom Participant obtained Confidential Information in the ordinary course of business as a result of Participant’s association with the Company; or (D) who receives products or services authorized by the Company, the sale or provision of which results or resulted in compensation, commissions, or earnings for Participant in the two (2) years prior to Participant's termination of employment.
(iv)    “Non-Compete Restricted Period” means during the Participant’s employment with the Company and for a period of one (1) year after the Participant’s employment ends for any reason.
(v)    “Non-Solicit Restricted Period” means during the Participant’s employment with the Company and for a period of two (2) years after the Participant’s employment ends for any reason.
(vi)    “Protected Customers” means customers or actively sought potential customers with whom the Participant had Material Contact in the two (2) years prior to the Participant’s termination of employment.
(vii)    “Protected Employee” means an employee of the Company who is employed by the Company at the time of any solicitation or attempted solicitation by the Participant and with whom (A) the Participant had contact during the two (2) years prior to the Participant’s termination of employment, or (B) about whom the Participant learned Confidential Information during the two (2) years prior to the Participant’s termination of employment.
(viii)    “Restricted Competitor” means a person engaged in any business competitive with the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ businesses of package delivery and global supply chain management solutions. Restricted Competitors shall be defined to include any affiliates of such entities that are engaged in delivery, transportation, and/or logistics services and activities. In addition, the Restricted Competitors include, without limitation, the entities listed on the United Parcel Service, Inc. Key Employee Severance Plan Restricted Competitor List provided to Participants from time to time, as memorialized in the Company’s records.
(ix)    “Trade Secret” means all of the Company’s information that the Participant learned about as a result of the Participant’s employment, without regard to form, including, but not limited to, technical or nontechnical data, a formula, a pattern, a compilation, a program, a device, a method, a technique, a drawing, a process, financial data, financial plans, product plans, distribution lists or a list of actual or potential customers, advertisers or suppliers, that (A) derives economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally known to the public or to other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use; and (B) is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy. This definition shall not limit any definition of “trade secrets” or any equivalent term under applicable law.
(l)    Amendments for Certain Employees.
(i) Amendments for California Employees. Sections 8(d) through 8(g) do not apply to a Participant if the Participant primarily resided or worked in California immediately prior to the end of your Company employment, or if following the termination of your Company employment, you reside and work in California. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Participant is and shall continue to be prohibited from any unauthorized use, transfer, or disclosure of the Company’s Confidential Information, including trade secrets, pursuant to the California Trade Secrets Act, the U.S. Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, any other confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements with the Company, and any other applicable federal, state and common law protections afforded proprietary business and trade secret information. Each such Participant also agrees that the Participant will not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, interfere with the Company’s business by soliciting or inducing or attempt to solicit or induce any Protected Employee to terminate or cease his/her employment relationship with the Company for a period of twelve (12) months from and after the Participant’s employment ends.



(ii)    Amendments for Hawaii, North Dakota, Minnesota, and Oklahoma Employees. Section 8(g) does not apply to a Participant if the Participant primarily resided and worked for the Company in Hawaii, North Dakota, Minnesota, or Oklahoma immediately prior to the end of Participant’s Company employment, and following the termination of Participant’s Company employment, Participant continues to reside and work in Hawaii, North Dakota, Minnesota, or Oklahoma.
(iii)    Amendment for Massachusetts Employees. Section 8(g) does not apply to a Participant if: 1) the Participant primarily resided and worked in Massachusetts prior to the end of Participant’s Company employment, and following the termination of Participant’s Company employment, Participant continues to reside and work in Massachusetts; and 2) Section 8(g) is unenforceable pursuant to Massachusetts General Laws c. 149 § 24L.
(m)    Other Restrictions. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Participant is based in the United States this Section 8 does not supersede any protective covenants applicable to the Participant with respect to the Company, and those covenants shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. If a Participant is based outside the United States any protective covenants set out in the Participant’s contract of employment, or otherwise applicable to the Participant’s employment with the Company, whether concluded prior to or after the date of this Plan, supersede the equivalent provisions set out in this Section 8.
9.    Clawback; Recoupment. Notwithstanding anything in this document to the contrary, each Eligible Employee acknowledges and agrees that this document and the awards described herein (and any settlement thereof) are subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s Incentive-Based Compensation Clawback Policy (or such other policy relating to the recovery of incentive compensation as may be in effect from time to time), and that relevant sections of this document shall be deemed superseded by and subject to the terms and conditions of such policy. Further, if the Committee reasonably, and in good faith, determines that a Participant has violated any applicable provisions of Section 8 of this Plan, then the Committee may (in its discretion) provide for the reduction, cancellation, termination or recovery from such Participant all (or any portion) of the Severance Benefits that were previously paid or provided to the Participant, and any such determination by the Committee shall be binding on such Participant.
10.    Tax Matters; Section 409A.
(a)    The payments and benefits provided under this Plan will be subject to all applicable federal, state and other governmental withholdings.
(b)    To the extent applicable, it is intended that this Plan comply with or be exempt from the provisions of Section 409A, so that the income inclusion provisions of Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code do not apply to a Participant. Consistent with that intent, and to the extent required under Section 409A, for benefits that are to be paid in connection with a termination of employment, “termination of employment” or any similar term shall be limited to such a termination that constitutes a “separation from service” under Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision of Section 4 or Section 5 to the contrary, if the period commencing on the date of the Participant’s termination of employment begins in one taxable year of the Participant and the 74th day following the date of such termination of employment is in a subsequent taxable year, any amounts payable under Section 4 or Section 5 which are considered deferred compensation subject to Section 409A shall be paid in such subsequent taxable year.



(c) Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, if a Participant is a “specified employee,” determined pursuant to procedures adopted by the Company in compliance with Section 409A, on the date of his or her separation from service (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section 1.409A-1(h)) and if any portion of the payments or benefits to be received by the Participant upon his or her termination of employment would constitute a “deferral of compensation” subject to Section 409A, then to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A, amounts that would otherwise be payable pursuant to this Plan during the six-month period immediately following the Participant’s termination of employment will instead be paid or made available on the earlier of (i) the first business day of the seventh month after the Termination Date, or (ii) the Participant’s death. For purposes of application of Section 409A, to the extent applicable, each payment made under this Plan shall be treated as a separate payment and not one of a series of payments for purposes of Section 409A.
(d)    Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, to the extent any reimbursement or in-kind benefit provided under this Plan is nonqualified deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A: (i) the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits provided, during a calendar year may not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement, or in-kind benefits to be provided, in any other taxable year; (ii) the reimbursement of an eligible expense must be made on or before the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expense was incurred; and (iii) the right to reimbursement or in-kind benefits is not subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit.
(e)    If, (i) as of the date of commencing participation in this Plan, a Participant is or was party to an agreement or arrangement with the Company that entitled Participant to compensation or benefits which is considered deferred compensation for purposes of Section 409A (in each case, an “Other Severance Arrangement”), and (ii) the time and form of any payments under this Plan would result in tax penalties under Section 409A, then, to the extent necessary to avoid tax penalties under Section 409A, any amounts owed pursuant to this Plan shall instead be paid (to the extent possible) at the time and in the manner provided for in such Other Severance Arrangement.
(f)    In no event shall this Section 10 or any other provisions of this Plan be construed to require the Company to provide any gross-up for the tax consequences under Section 409A of any provisions of, or payments under, this Plan, and the Company shall have no responsibility for tax consequences under Section 409A to a Participant resulting from the terms or operation of this Plan.
11.    Adjustment of Certain Payments and Benefits. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, if any payment or benefit to be paid or provided hereunder or under any other plan or agreement would be an “Excess Parachute Payment,” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, or any successor provision thereto, but for the application of this sentence, then the payments and benefits to be paid or provided hereunder shall be reduced to the minimum extent necessary (but in no event to less than zero) so that no portion of any such payment or benefit, as so reduced, constitutes an Excess Parachute Payment; provided, however, that the foregoing reduction shall be made only if and to the extent that such reduction would result in an increase in the aggregate payments and benefits to be provided, determined on an after-tax basis (taking into account the excise tax imposed pursuant to Section 4999 of the Code, or any successor provision thereto, any tax imposed by any comparable provision of state law, and any applicable federal, state and local income taxes). The determination of whether any reduction in such payments or benefits to be provided hereunder is required pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be made at the expense of the Company, if requested by the Participant or the Company, by the Company’s independent accountants or a nationally recognized law firm chosen by the Company. The fact that the Participant’s right to payments or benefits may be reduced by reason of the limitations contained in this Section shall not of itself limit or otherwise affect any other rights of the Participant under this Plan. In the event that any payment or benefit intended to be provided hereunder is required to be reduced pursuant to this Section, then the reduction will be made in accordance with Section 409A and will occur in the following order: (a) first, by reducing any cash payments with the last scheduled payment reduced first; (b) second, by reducing any equity-based benefits that are included at full value under Q&A-24(a) of the Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code (the “280G Regulations”), with the highest value reduced first; (c) third, by reducing any equity-based benefits included on an acceleration value under Q&A-24(b) or 24(c) of the 280G Regulations, with the highest value reduced first; and (d) fourth, by reducing any non-cash, non-equity based benefits, with the latest scheduled benefit reduced first. Such payments or benefits shall be reduced in a manner that maximizes the Participant’s economic position. In applying this principle, the reduction shall be made in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A, and where two economically equivalent amounts are subject to reduction but payable at different times, such amounts shall be reduced on a pro rata basis but not below zero.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Plan, the amount of any payment provided for under this Plan will not be reduced by any compensation or benefits earned by the Participant as the result of employment by another employer or otherwise after the Termination Date. Except as explicitly provided herein, neither the provisions of this Plan nor the making of any payment provided for under this Plan, nor the termination of the Company’s obligations under this Plan, will reduce any amounts otherwise payable, or in any way diminish a Participant’s rights, under any incentive compensation plan, stock option or stock appreciation rights plan, restricted stock plan or agreement, deferred compensation, retirement, or supplemental retirement plan, stock purchase and savings plan, disability or insurance plan, or other similar contract, plan, or arrangement of the Company or any Subsidiary, all of which will be governed by their respective terms.

In the event that a Participant or the Company brings any proceeding or any legal action to enforce the terms of this Plan, each of the Company and the Participant shall bear its own attorneys’ fees and costs in connection with such proceeding or legal action. In the event that a Participant brings a legal action against the Company for any other reason, or negotiates with the Company for a severance benefit, any amount paid pursuant to a judgment or settlement shall, to the extent permitted under Section 409A, be offset against the Severance Benefits provided under this Plan.
(d)    Payments Are in Lieu of Severance Payments. If a Participant becomes entitled to receive payments under this Plan as a result of termination of the Participant’s employment, those payments will be in lieu of any and all other claims or rights that the Participant may have against the Company for severance, separation, and/or salary continuation pay upon that termination of the Participant’s employment, including under the UPS Restructuring Separation Allowance Plan, except as otherwise provided herein.
(e) Assistance. During the three-month period following a Participant’s Termination Date, and from time to time after that as may be necessary, a Participant agrees to cooperate in good faith with the Company regarding reasonable transitional assistance that may be requested by the Company, including but not limited to (i) answering questions about matters relating to the business of the Company or its affiliates as to which the Participant has knowledge, and (ii) forwarding to an appropriate person designated by the Company any email, voicemail message or other communication received by the Participant after the Termination Date that relates to the Company, its affiliates, or their respective businesses.

As further consideration for the covenants set forth herein, each Participant agrees to reasonably cooperate in good faith with any lawyer, law firm, or consultant that the Company designates with respect to any litigation, deposition, hearing, arbitration, inquiry, investigation or other proceeding, in any jurisdiction arising out of or relating to matters of which the Participant was involved prior to the Termination Date with the Company or which the Participant gained knowledge of during the Participant’s employment with the Company (including, but not limited to, support of the Company’s, or that of any of its affiliates’, position in defending any general liability-related lawsuits, employment related lawsuits or claims concerning which the Participant has knowledge, or audits, investigations, lawsuits, complaints or proceedings by government entities of state or federal law compliance) where the legal or financial interests of the Company or any of its affiliates are at material issue. Each Participant further covenants that, except with respect to an investigation or proceeding conducted by a governmental entity or where prohibited by law, the Participant will (i) contact the Company as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event longer than seventy-two (72) hours, in the event that the Participant is served with or notified of any subpoena, notice or other instruction directing the Participant to appear, or produce documents or other information, in any legal proceeding involving the Company or any of its affiliates, and (ii) will make no such appearance or disclosure, unless required by law, until the Company has had a reasonable opportunity to contest the right of the requesting person or entity to such appearance or disclosure. The Company shall timely reimburse such Participant for reasonable travel expenses and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses associated with the Participant’s compliance with the obligations in this Section 15(e). The Company will exercise its rights in good faith under this Section 15(e) so as not to unreasonably interfere with the Participant’s professional activities.

(h)    Interpretation. The language in all parts of this Plan shall in all cases be construed according to its fair meaning, and not strictly for or against the Company or a Participant. In this Plan, unless the context otherwise requires, the masculine, feminine and neuter genders and the singular and the plural include one another. There shall be no entitlement to benefits and payments under any of Section 4 or Section 5 hereof if a Participant otherwise has been, is, or will be entitled to benefits under one or more different sections among Section 4 and Section 5.
(i)    Non-Waiver of Rights and Breaches. No failure or delay of the Company or a Participant in the exercise of any right given to the Company or the Participant under this Plan shall constitute a waiver unless the time specified for the exercise of such right has expired, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right. The waiver by the Company or the Participant of any default of the Company or the Participant, as applicable, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent default or other default by the Company or the Participant, as applicable.
(j)    Successors and Assigns. The rights and obligations of the Company under this Plan will inure to the benefit of, and will be binding on, the Company and its successors and assigns, and the rights and obligations (other than obligations to perform services) of the Participant under this Plan will inure to the benefit of, and will be binding upon, the Participant and the Participant’s heirs, personal representatives, and assigns.

Each Participant hereby waives any objections or defenses to jurisdiction or venue in any such proceeding before such court. If a Participant primarily resided and worked for the Company in California immediately prior to the end of Participant’s Company employment, or following the termination of Participant’s Company employment, Participant resides and works in California, the Participant agrees that (x) California law shall apply to this Plan, and (y) the federal or state courts of California shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute relating to this Plan and the Participant specifically consents to personal jurisdiction in such courts even if the Participant does not reside in California at the time of any dispute arising out of or involving this Plan. If Participant primarily resided and worked for the Company in Minnesota immediately prior to the end of Participant’s employment, Participant agrees and acknowledges that Participant’s consent to jurisdiction and venue in Georgia is voluntary and that Participant is not being required to accept Georgia jurisdiction and venue as a condition of Participant’s employment.

(m)    Severability. If any provision of this Plan is or becomes invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or would disqualify this Plan or any compensation under this Plan under any law deemed applicable by the Committee, such provision will be construed or deemed amended or limited in scope to conform to applicable laws or, in the discretion of the Committee, it will be stricken and the remainder of this Plan will remain in full force and effect.
(n)    Claims Procedure.
(i)    The Committee or its designee has the exclusive right to determine eligibility for benefits under the Plan and to deny or grant a claim, in whole or in part. All claim determinations shall be made by the Committee (or its delegate) in a uniform and nondiscriminatory manner in accordance with the Plan provisions. The Committee’s decision on a claim for benefits is final and binding on all persons.
(ii)    Any Participant or his or her authorized representative who believes he or she may be eligible for benefits under this Plan may file a claim for benefits to which the claimant believes he or she is entitled. Claims under this Plan must be made in writing and delivered to the Committee, in person or by mail, postage prepaid. When a claim has been properly filed, the Committee shall, within 90 days after receipt of such claim, send to the claimant notice of the grant or denial, in whole or in part, of such claim unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the claim. In no event may the extension exceed 90 days from the end of the initial period. If such extension is necessary, the claimant will be given notice to this effect prior to the expiration of the initial 90-day period. Any notice of extension shall set forth the special circumstances requiring the extension of time and the date by which the Committee expects to render its decision on the application for benefits.
(iii)    The Committee will provide the claimant with written notice in which the claimant shall be advised as to whether the claim is granted or denied, in whole or in part. If a claim is denied, in whole or in part, the notice shall contain: (A) the specific reasons for the denial; (B) references to pertinent Plan provisions on which the denial is based; (C) a description of any additional material or information necessary to perfect the claim and an explanation of why such material or information is necessary; and (D) an explanation of the Plan’s claim review procedure, the time limits applicable under the procedures, and a statement regarding the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under Section 502(a) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (if applicable) following an adverse benefit determination on appeal.
(iv) If a claim is denied, in whole or in part, the claimant shall have the right to request that the Committee review the denial, provided that the claimant files a written request for review with the Committee no later than 60 days after the date on which the claimant received written notification of the denial. The request for a review shall be in writing and shall be addressed to the Committee at the Company’s principal office. The request for review shall set forth all of the grounds on which it is based, all facts in support of the request and any other matters which the claimant deems pertinent. The Committee may require the claimant to submit such additional facts, documents or other material as it may deem necessary or appropriate in making its review. The claimant may submit written comments, documents, records and other information related to the benefit claim on appeal. The claimant must be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of any and all records, documents or information on which the Committee based its determination (the “Relevant Records”).



(v)    The Committee will provide the claimant with written notification of the benefit determination on review within 60 days after a request for review is received, unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing the review, in which case the Committee shall give the claimant written notification within the initial 60-day period specifying the reasons for the extension and when such review shall be completed (provided that such review shall be completed within 120 days after the date on which the request for review was filed). If the Committee denies the claim on review, in whole or in part, the notification will set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant: (A) the specific reason or reasons for the denial; (B) specific references to the Plan provisions on which the denial is based; (C) a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all Relevant Records; and (D) a description of the claimant’s right to obtain information about such procedures and a statement regarding the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (if applicable) following the denial on appeal.

These terms and conditions shall be effective from the date set forth above and will relate to and govern MIP Awards granted beginning with the 2024 Plan Year.

4.    MIP Awards.
4.1    Performance Objectives.
4.1.1 Eligible Employees (other than Executive Leadership Team Eligible Employees).

At the Committee’s direction, Eligible Employees will receive written notification of their MIP Awards.
4.1.4    Minimum MIP Factor.

Such election must be made within the period established by the Committee for such elections. Any portion elected to be contributed to a tax-qualified plan that cannot be contributed to that plan because of the limitations on contributions to that plan will be paid to the Eligible Employee in cash.
5.2 Elections With Respect to MIP Award; UPS Deferred Compensation Plan. Prior to the beginning of the Plan Year for which a MIP Award is earned, Eligible Employees who are eligible to make deferral elections under the UPS Deferred Compensation Plan may elect to defer all or any portion of a MIP Award for such Plan Year in accordance with the terms of the UPS Deferred Compensation Plan.

5.3    Vesting. A MIP Award vests on the MIP Eligibility Date for the Plan Year for which the MIP Award is made, provided the Eligible Employee is employed by the Company or an affiliate on such date. However, the Committee may establish rules that provide for vesting of a MIP Award at other dates or under other circumstances.
5.4    Tax Withholding. MIP Awards will be reduced for applicable taxes or the Eligible Employee shall remit taxes in accordance with Article 16 of the ICP.
5.5    Death. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of the MIP and subject to Section 5.4, the following provisions shall apply if an Eligible Employee dies before the MIP Eligibility Date or before a MIP Award for a Plan Year is paid.
5.5.1    Death Before MIP Eligibility Date. If an Eligible Employee dies during the Plan Year and before the MIP Eligibility Date, a prorated portion of his or her MIP Award for such Plan Year shall be fully vested and payable in cash to his or her estate as soon as practicable and no later than 90 days after the date of death. The MIP Award will be calculated at target for such Eligible Employee’s job classification and salary on his or her date of death, and prorated based on his or her number of calendar months of active employment completed in such Plan Year.
5.5.2    Death after MIP Eligibility Date and Before Payment. If an Eligible Employee dies after the MIP Eligibility Date and before the MIP Award for a Plan Year is paid, his or her actual MIP Award for such Plan Year shall be paid in cash to his or her estate as soon as practicable and no later than before the end of the second calendar quarter of the Plan Year immediately following the Plan Year for which the award is made.

6.    Miscellaneous.
6.1    Awards Subject to the Terms of the ICP. MIP Awards are subject to the terms of the ICP.
6.2    Section 409A Compliance. Each MIP Award is intended either to be exempt from or to comply with Code § 409A and the 409A Guidance. This document and the ICP shall be administered in a manner consistent with this intent, and any provisions that would cause this document or the ICP to fail to satisfy Code § 409A or the 409A Guidance shall have no further force or effect until amended to comply with or be exempt from Code § 409A and the 409A Guidance (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Code § 409A and the 409A Guidance and may be made by the Company without an Eligible Employee’s consent).The MIP Award is intended to be exempt from Code § 409A as a short term deferral. To the extent that benefits provided under the MIP constitute deferred compensation for purposes of Code § 409A and the 409A Guidance and to the extent that deferred compensation is payable upon a “separation from service” as defined in Code § 409A, to the extent necessary to comply with Code § 409A and the 409A Guidance, no amount of deferred compensation shall be paid or transferred to the Eligible Employee as a result of the Eligible Employee’s separation from service until the date which is the earlier of (i) the first day of the seventh month after the Eligible Employee’s separation from service or (ii) the date of the Eligible Employee’s death (the “Delay Period”).
6.3    Severability. The provisions of the MIP are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.
6.4    Waiver. Each Eligible Employee acknowledges that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of the MIP shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of the MIP, or of any subsequent breach by the Eligible Employee or any other participant.



6.5    Imposition of Other Requirements. The Committee reserves the right to impose other requirements on an Eligible Employee’s participation in the MIP, on a MIP Award and on any Shares acquired under the ICP, to the extent the Committee determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Eligible Employee to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.
6.6    Amendment and Termination. The Committee may amend, alter, suspend or terminate the MIP, any Exhibit and any award granted under the MIP at any time subject to the terms of the ICP. Any amendment shall be in writing and approved by the Committee. Subject to the terms of the IPC, the Management Compensation Committee may make administrative amendments to the MIP and the Exhibits from time to time provided that any such amendment shall be reviewed with the Committee and a copy of such amendment kept with the records of the MIP. An administrative amendment does not include any amendment that would materially change the terms and conditions of the MIP that were previously approved by the Committee.
6.7    Equitable Adjustments. MIP Awards and the number of Shares issuable under each MIP Award (if any) and the other terms and conditions of a MIP Award evidenced by this document are subject to adjustment as provided in Sections 4.5 and 15.2 of the ICP.

Exhibit 10.3
UPS LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PERFORMANCE PROGRAM

Amended and Restated Terms and Conditions

March 20, 2024
1.    Establishment, Objectives and Duration.
1.1    Establishment of the Program and Effective Date. The Compensation and Human Capital Committee of the Board of Directors of United Parcel Service, Inc. (“Committee”) hereby amends and restates the terms and conditions of the UPS Long-Term Incentive Performance Program (“LTIP”) which provides for Awards in the form of Restricted Performance Units (“Units”) pursuant to the United Parcel Service, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (“ICP”). Unless otherwise defined in this document, capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth in the ICP. These LTIP Terms and Conditions shall be effective for any LTIP Awards made on or after the date set forth above (“LTIP Effective Date”).
1.2    Objectives of the LTIP. The objectives of the LTIP are to align incentive pay with long-term performance related to key business objectives, enhance retention of key talent, and align the interests of shareowners with the incentive compensation opportunity for executives.

1.3    Duration of the Program. The LTIP shall commence on the LTIP Effective Date and shall remain in effect, subject to the right of the Committee to amend or terminate the LTIP at any time pursuant to Section 14.6 hereof.

2.    Administration.
2.1    Authority of the Committee. The LTIP shall be administered by the Committee, which shall have the same power and authority to administer the LTIP as it does to administer the ICP.
2.2    Decisions Binding. All decisions of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons, including the Company, its shareowners, any employee, and their estates and beneficiaries.
2.3    Delegation. The Committee may (subject to applicable law, regulation and the terms of the ICP), delegated its power, authority and duties as identified herein to administer the LTIP, other than the power, authority and duties to grant and approve LTIP Awards to Executive Leadership Team Eligible Employees, to (i) any committee comprised of members of management of the Company responsible for determining or overseeing compensation for individuals other than Executive Leadership Team members or (ii) to the Executive Leadership Team or (iii) any members thereof such responsibility (the “Management Compensation Committee”). Except as set forth above, the Management Compensation Committee shall have the powers, authority and duties of the Committee as contained herein, and references to the “Committee” shall be deemed to refer to the Committee or the Management Compensation Committee, as applicable.

3.    Units Subject to Award. Your target number of Units subject to an Award is determined by (1) the product of (a) your Target LTIP Award Percentage on Exhibit A multiplied by (b) your annualized monthly salary in effect on the grant date specified in your grant notice (the “Grant Date”), then (2) divided by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date, rounded up to the nearest whole number of Units.
4. Eligibility for Awards. The Committee shall have broad discretion to determine the eligibility criteria for Awards for members of the Executive Leadership Team, including the Grant Date and any proration applicable to any Award for any reason, including as a result of an individual becoming an employee or changing job classification in a manner that would result in a different LTIP target payout percentage for that individual, after the Grant Date.




5.    Award Document. You will receive a grant notice that specifies the Grant Date, the target number of Units subject to an Award, which may be prorated for the number of months remaining in the Performance Period (as defined below), and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine. Such grant notice, together with this document, shall constitute the “Award Document” for the applicable Award for purposes of the ICP.
6.    Acceptance. You must expressly accept the terms and conditions of your Award. To accept, log on to Merrill Lynch Benefits Online at www.benefits.ml.com, select Equity Plan > Grant Information > Pending Acceptance. If you do not accept your Award in the manner instructed by the Company, the Units subject to an Award may be subject to cancellation. If you do not wish to receive your Award, then you understand that you must reject the Award by contacting Shareholder Services (shareholderservices@ups.com) no later than 90 days following the Grant Date specified in the applicable grant notice in which case the Award will be cancelled.
7.    Performance Metrics; Earned Units. The number of Units earned for an Award will be determined based upon the Company’s (a) adjusted earnings per share (growth) and (b) free cash flow performance, each during a three-year performance period identified in the applicable grant notice (the “Performance Period”), subject to modification based on (c) total shareholder return performance during the Performance Period. Performance and payout will be determined independently for each metric. The number of Units earned under an Award will be calculated as follows:
(a)
Adjusted Earnings Per Share Payout %
x
50%
+
(b)
Free Cash Flow
Payout %
x
50%
+/ -
(c)
RTSR Payout Modifier
(if applicable)
Award
Payout %

The Award Payout % is then multiplied by the target number of Units received under the Award, including any dividend equivalent units (described below), to determine the total number of Units earned for the Award.

7.1    Adjusted Earnings Per Share (Growth). Adjusted earnings per share is determined by dividing the Company’s adjusted net income available to common shareowners by the diluted weighted average shares outstanding during applicable year(s) of the Performance Period. The adjusted earnings per share growth target is the projected average annual adjusted earnings per share growth during each of the applicable years within the Performance Period. The actual adjusted earnings per share (growth) for each applicable year of the Performance Period will be compared to the target and assigned a payout percentage; the average of the three payout percentages will be used to calculate the final payout percentage under this metric. Following the completion of the Performance Period, the Committee will certify (i) the actual adjusted earnings per share (growth) for the Performance Period; (ii) the actual adjusted earnings per share (growth) for the Performance Period as compared to the targets; and (iii) the final payout percentage for this metric.

7.2 Free Cash Flow. Free cash flow is determined by reducing the Company’s cash flow from operations by capital expenditures net of proceeds from disposals of fixed assets, and adjusting for net changes in finance receivables and other investing activities. The free cash flow target is the projected aggregate free cash flow generated during the entire three years of the Performance Period. Following the completion of the Performance Period, the Committee will certify (i) the actual free cash flow for the Performance Period; (ii) the actual free cash flow for the Performance Period as compared to the target; and (iii) the final payout percentage for this metric.



7.3    Total Shareholder Return. Total shareholder return measures the total return on an investment in the Company’s class B common stock (the “Stock”) to an investor (stock price appreciation plus dividends). The total return on the Stock shall be compared with the total return on the stocks of the companies listed on the Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Index (“Index”) at the beginning of the Performance Period. The Committee shall then assign the Company a percentile rank relative to the companies listed on the Index (the “S&P 500 Companies”) based on total shareholder return performance (“relative total shareholder return” or “RTSR”). Following the completion of the Performance Period, the Committee will certify (i) the Company’s actual total shareholder return for the Performance Period; (ii) the total shareholder return of each of the S&P 500 Companies during the Performance Period; (iii) the percentile ranking for the Company as compared to S&P 500 Companies for the Performance Period; and (iv) the final payout modifier, if any, for the Award as described below.

7.3.1    Payout Modifier: The number of Units earned under an Award may be modified up or down, if applicable, based on RTSR as follows:
Total Shareholder Return
 Percentile Rank Relative to S&P 500 Companies
Payout Modifier
Above 75th percentile
+20%
Between 25th and 75th percentile
None
Below 25th percentile
-20%

7.3.2    TSR Calculation: TSR is determined as follows:

TSR =
(Ending Average + Dividends Paid) – Beginning Average
Beginning Average
Beginning Average: the average closing price of a share of the respective S&P 500 Company’s common stock for the 20 trading days prior to the start of the Performance Period on which shares of such company’s common stock were traded.
Ending Average: the average closing price of a share of the respective S&P 500 Company’s common stock over the last 20 trading days of the Performance Period, accounting for compounding Dividends Paid, on which shares of such company’s common stock were traded.
Dividends Paid: the total of all dividends paid on one share of the respective S&P 500 Company’s common stock during the Performance Period, provided that the record date occurs during the Performance Period, and provided further that dividends shall be treated as though they are reinvested on the day of payment using the closing price of a share of the respective S&P 500 Company’s common stock on that day.



7.4    Adjustments. In determining attainment of performance targets the Committee will have discretion to exclude the effect of unusual or infrequently occurring items, charges for restructurings (including employee severance liabilities, asset impairment costs, and exit costs), discontinued operations, extraordinary items and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting treatment, and may determine to exclude the effect of other items, each determined in accordance with GAAP (to the extent applicable) and as identified in the financial statements, notes to the financial statement or discussion and analysis of management.

8.2    Unfair Competition. You acknowledge and agree that, as a result of your receipt of Confidential Information, your role at the Company, and your relationships with Company customers and/or employees you would have an unfair competitive advantage if you were to violate this Section 8 and that, in the event that your employment with the Company terminates for any reason, you possess marketable skills and abilities that will enable you to find suitable employment without violating the covenants set forth in this Section 8.

You also understand that nothing contained in this Section 8 limits your ability to communicate with any federal, state or local governmental agency or commission (“Government Agencies”) or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agencies in connection with any charge or complaint, whether filed by you, on your behalf, or by any other individual. You additionally understand and agree that as required by the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 (“DTSA”), 18 U.S.C. § 1833(b), you have been notified that if you make a confidential disclosure of a Company Trade Secret (as defined in 18 U.S.C. § 1839) to a government official or an attorney for the sole purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or in a complaint or other document filed in a legal proceeding, so long as any document you file containing the trade secret is filed under seal and you do not disclose the trade secret except pursuant to court order, you shall not be held civilly or criminally liable under this Agreement or under any federal or state trade secret law for such a disclosure. The DTSA does not authorize, or limit liability for, an act that is otherwise prohibited by law, such as the unlawful access of material by unauthorized means. You promise that, no later than the end of your Company employment, you will return to the Company all files, memoranda, documents, records, credit cards, keys, computers, printers, telephones, and other property of the Company or its affiliates in your possession, custody, or control, including without limitation all Confidential Information. To the extent that you have, or become aware after your Separation Date that you have, electronic files or information in your personal possession or under your control that belong to the Company or contain Confidential Information (specifically including without limitation electronic files or information stored on personal computers, mobile devices, electronic media, or in cloud storage), you promise that you will notify the Company in writing as to such possession or control prior to your Separation Date or immediately after you become aware of such possession, and, if requested to do so by the Company you will cooperate with the Company, and take direction from the Company, regarding the deletion or return of all such files and information, including all copies and derivatives thereof, from all non-Company-owned computers, mobile devices, electronic media, cloud storage, and other media, devices, and equipment, such that such files and information are permanently deleted and irretrievable. For the avoidance of doubt, you are not permitted to delete any Company files or information from any computers, mobile devices, electronic media, or in cloud storage (including those owned personally by you) unless directed to do so in writing by the Company.

This non-compete provision is limited to the geographic area where the Company did business during your employment.
8.7    Enforcement. You acknowledge and agree that the covenants in Sections 8.3 through 8.6 (“Protective Covenants”) are necessary to protect the Company’s legitimate business interests. In the event that you breach, or threaten to breach, the Protective Covenants, you agree that the Company shall have the right and remedy to: (a) enjoin you, preliminarily and permanently (without the necessity of posting bond), from violating or threatening to violate the Protective Covenants because any breach or threatened breach of the Protective Covenants would cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy; (b) require you to account for and pay over to the Company all compensation, profits, monies, or other benefits derived or received by you as the result of any breach of the Protective Covenants; and (c) require you to pay the reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred by the Company in enforcing the Protective Covenants.

If you are an active employee for six continuous months from the beginning of the Performance Period and your employment terminates prior to the last business day of the Performance Period as a result of disability or Retirement (as defined below), then Shares attributable to a prorated number of vested Units (based on actual results for the full Performance Period and the number of months worked during the Performance Period) will be transferred to you during the calendar quarter following the end of the Performance Period. For purposes of the LTIP, Retirement is defined as (a) the attainment of age 55 with a minimum of 10 years of continuous employment accompanied by the cessation of employment with the Company and all Subsidiaries, (b) the attainment of age 60 with a minimum of 5 years of continuous employment accompanied by the cessation of employment with the Company and all Subsidiaries, or (c) “retirement” as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion.

10.3 Demotion.

11.    Repayment. Notwithstanding anything in this document to the contrary, you acknowledge and agree that this document and the awards described herein (and any settlement thereof) are subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s Incentive-Based Compensation Clawback Policy (or such other policy relating to the recovery of incentive compensation as may be in effect from time to time), and that relevant sections of this document shall be deemed superseded by and subject to the terms and conditions of such policy.

12.    Withholding. Awards shall be reduced for applicable taxes or you will be required to remit taxes to the Company in accordance with the terms of the ICP.

13.    Dividend Equivalents. Dividends payable on the number of shares represented by your Units (including whole and fractional Units) will be allocated to your account in the form of dividend equivalent units (“DEUs”) (whole and fractional). DEUs will be allocated to your account each time dividends are paid by (i) multiplying the cash (or stock) dividend paid per share of the Company’s class B common stock by the number of outstanding target number Units (and previously credited DEUs) prior to adjustment for the dividend, and (ii) dividing the product by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the day the dividend is declared, provided that the record date occurs after the Grant Date. DEUs will be subject to the same vesting conditions as the underlying Award.

14.    Miscellaneous.

14.1    Awards Subject to the Terms of the ICP. LTIP Awards are subject to the terms of the ICP.
14.2    Section 409A. Each Award is intended either to be exempt from Code § 409A and the 409A Guidance or to comply with Code § 409A and the 409A Guidance. The Award Document and the ICP shall be administered in a manner consistent with this intent, and any provision that would cause the Award Document or the ICP to fail to satisfy Code § 409A or the 409A Guidance shall have no force or effect until amended to comply with or be exempt from Code § 409A and the 409A Guidance (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Code § 409A and the 409A Guidance and may be made by the Company without your consent). To the extent that benefits provided under an Award constitute deferred compensation for purposes of Code § 409A and the 409A Guidance and to the extent that deferred compensation is payable upon a “separation from service” as defined in Code § 409A and the 409A Guidance, no amount of deferred compensation shall be paid or transferred to you as a result of your separation from service until the date which is the earlier of (i) the first day of the seventh month after your separation from service or (ii) the date of your death (the “Delay Period”).
14.3    Severability. The provisions of the LTIP are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.
14.4    Waiver. You acknowledge that a waiver by the Company of breach of any provision of the LTIP shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of the LTIP, or of any subsequent breach by you or any other participant.
14.5 Imposition of Other Requirements. The Committee reserves the right to impose other requirements on your participation in the LTIP, on the Units and on any shares of Stock acquired under the ICP, to the extent the Committee determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require you to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing.



14.6    Amendment and Termination. The Committee may amend, alter, suspend or terminate the LTIP and any Award at any time subject to the terms of the ICP. Any such amendment shall be in writing and approved by the Committee. A committee comprised of members of management of the Company for purposes of administering compensation (“Management Compensation Committee”), may make administrative amendments to the LTIP from time to time; provided, however, that any such amendment shall be reviewed with the Committee and kept with the records of the LTIP.
14.7    Electronic Delivery. The Company may, in its sole discretion, deliver any documents related to the Units and your participation in the ICP, or future awards that may be granted under the ICP, by electronic means or request your consent to participate in the ICP by electronic means. You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, agree to participate in the ICP through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Company or another third party designated by the Company.
14.8    No Right to Future Awards or Employment. The grant of the Units under an Award to you is a voluntary, discretionary award being made on a one-time basis and it does not constitute a commitment to make any future awards. Nothing contained in the Award Document shall confer upon you any right to be employed or remain employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, nor limit or affect in any manner the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate your employment or adjust your compensation.
14.9    Acknowledgement. You acknowledge that you (a) have received a copy of the ICP, (b) have had an opportunity to review the terms of the Award Document and the ICP, (c) understand the terms and conditions of the Award Document and the ICP and (d) agree to such terms and conditions.
