Forward-Looking Statements
This presentation and our 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. Forward-looking 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, the
impact of: continued uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic; changes in general
economic conditions, in the U.S. or internationally; industry evolution and significant
competition; changes in our relationships with any of our significant customers; our ability to
attract and retain qualified employees; strikes, work stoppages or slowdowns by our
employees; results of negotiations and ratifications of labor contracts; our ability to maintain
our brand image and corporate reputation; increased or more complex physical security
requirements; a significant data breach or information technology system disruption; 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 and social developments in international markets; our ability to
realize the anticipated benefits from acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures or strategic
alliances; changing prices of energy, including gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, or interruptions
in supplies of these commodities; changes in exchange rates or interest rates; our ability to
accurately forecast our future capital investment needs; significant expenses and 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 laws and
regulations, including relating 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, 2022, 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.
Information, including comparisons to prior periods, may reflect adjusted results. See the
appendix for reconciliations of adjusted results and other non-GAAP financial measures.
From time to time, the Company expects 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 the Company and you are encouraged to monitor this
site for any new posts, as we may use this mechanism as a public announcement.

Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP Financial Measures; Reconciliations
From time to time we supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under generally accepted
accounting principles ("GAAP") with certain non-GAAP financial measures.
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.
Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Metrics
From time to time when presenting forward-looking non-GAAP metrics, we are unable to provide quantitative
reconciliations to the most closely correlated GAAP measure due to the uncertainty in the timing, amount or nature of
any adjustments, which could be material in any period.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Changes and Hedging Activities
We supplement the reporting of revenue, revenue per piece and operating profit with adjusted measures that exclude the
period-over-period impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes and hedging activities. We believe currency-neutral
revenue, revenue per piece and operating profit information allows users of our financial statements to understand
growth trends in our products and results. We evaluate the performance of International Package and Supply Chain
Solutions on this currency-neutral basis.
Currency-neutral revenue, revenue per piece and operating profit are calculated by dividing current period reported U.S.
Dollar revenue, revenue per piece and operating profit by the current period average exchange rates to derive current
period local currency revenue, revenue per piece and operating profit. The derived amounts are then multiplied by the
average foreign currency exchange rates used to translate the comparable results for each month in the prior year period
(including the period-over-period impact of foreign currency hedging activities). The difference between the current
period reported U.S. Dollar revenue, revenue per piece and operating profit and the derived current period U.S. Dollar
revenue, revenue per piece and operating profit is the period-over-period impact of currency fluctuations
Incentive Compensation Program Design Changes
During 2022, we completed certain structural changes to the design of our incentive compensation programs that
resulted in a one-time, non-cash charge in connection with the accelerated vesting of certain equity incentive awards that
we do not expect to repeat. We supplement the presentation of our operating profit, operating margin, income before
income taxes, net income and earnings per share with non-GAAP measures that exclude the impact of these changes. We
believe excluding the impacts of such changes allows users of our financial statements to more appropriately identify
underlying growth trends in compensation and benefits expense. For information regarding incentive compensation
program design changes, see note 13 to the audited, consolidated financial statements.
Long-lived Asset Estimated Residual Value Changes
During the fourth quarter of 2022, we incurred a one-time, non-cash charge resulting from a reduction in the estimated
residual value of our MD-11 fleet. We supplement the presentation of our operating profit, operating margin, income
before income taxes, net income and earnings per share with non-GAAP measures that exclude the impact of this charge.
We believe excluding the impact of this charge better enables users of our financial statements to understand the
ongoing cost associated with our long-lived assets.
Transformation Charges, and Goodwill, Asset Impairment and Divestiture Charges
We supplement the presentation of our operating profit, operating margin, income before income taxes, net income and
earnings per share with non-GAAP measures that exclude the impact of charges related to transformation activities, and
goodwill, asset impairment and divestiture charges. We believe excluding the impact of these charges better enables
users of our financial statements to view and evaluate underlying business performance from the perspective of
management. We do not consider these costs when evaluating the operating performance of our business units, making
decisions to allocate resources or in determining incentive compensation awards.
Defined Benefit Pension and Postretirement Medical Plan Gains and Losses
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 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
Free Cash Flow
We calculate free cash flow as cash flows from operating activities less capital expenditures, proceeds from disposals of
property, plant and equipment, and plus or minus the net changes in other investing activities. We believe free cash flow
is an important indicator of how much cash is generated by our ongoing business operations and we use this as a
measure of incremental cash available to invest in our business, meet our debt obligations and return cash to
shareowners.
Adjusted Return on Invested Capital
Adjusted ROIC is calculated as the trailing twelve months (“TTM”) of adjusted operating income divided by the average
of total debt, non-current pension and postretirement benefit obligations and shareowners’ equity, at the current period
end and the corresponding period end of the prior year. Because adjusted ROIC is not a measure defined by GAAP, we
calculate it, in part, using non-GAAP financial measures that we believe are most indicative of our ongoing business
performance. We consider adjusted ROIC to be a useful measure for evaluating the effectiveness and efficiency of our
long-term capital investments.
Adjusted Total Debt / Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted total debt is defined as our long-term debt and finance leases, including current maturities, plus non-current
pension and postretirement benefit obligations. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization adjusted for the impacts of incentive compensation program redesign, transformation and
other costs, defined benefit plan gains and losses and other income. We believe the ratio of adjusted total debt to
adjusted EBITDA is an important indicator of our financial strength, and is a ratio used by third parties when evaluating
the level of our indebtedness.
