Cautionary Statement About Forward-Looking Statements
This report, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 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: continued uncertainties related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and operations, financial performance and liquidity, our customers and suppliers, and on the global economy; 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; changes in the regulatory environment in the U.S. or internationally; increased or more complex physical or data security requirements; legal, regulatory or market responses to global climate change; results of negotiations and ratifications of labor contracts; strikes, work stoppages or slowdowns by our employees; the effects of changing prices of energy, including gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, and interruptions in supplies of these commodities; changes in exchange rates or interest rates; uncertainty from the expected discontinuance of LIBOR and transition to any other interest rate benchmark; our ability to maintain our brand image; our ability to attract and retain qualified employees; breaches in data security; disruptions to the Internet or our technology infrastructure; interruptions in or impacts on our business from natural or man-made events or disasters including terrorist attacks, epidemics or pandemics; our ability to accurately forecast our future capital investment needs; exposure to changing economic, political and social developments in international and emerging markets; changes in business strategy, government regulations, or economic or market conditions that may result in impairment of our assets; increases in our expenses or funding obligations relating to employee health, retiree health and/or pension benefits; potential additional U.S. or international tax liabilities; potential claims or litigation related to labor and employment, personal injury, property damage, business practices, environmental liability and other matters; our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures or strategic alliances; our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from our transformation initiatives; cyclical and seasonal fluctuations in our operating results; our ability to manage insurance and claims expenses; and other risks described 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, 2021, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 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, except as required by law.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying interim 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 interim unaudited, consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 30, 2022, our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The results reported in these interim 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 interim 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, 2021.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, finance receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. The fair values of our investment 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). We utilized Level 1 inputs in the fair value hierarchy to determine the fair value of our cash and cash equivalents, and Level 2 inputs to determine the fair value of our accounts receivable, finance receivables and accounts payable.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying interim 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.

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 or cash flows. For accounting standards adopted in the period ended June 30, 2021, refer to note 1 to our audited, consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective
Accounting pronouncements issued before, but not effective until after, June 30, 2022, are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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”) domestically or internationally. These services may be carried out by or arranged by us, and generally occur over a short period of time. We also provide value-added logistics services to customers, both domestically and internationally, through our global network of distribution centers and field stocking locations.
The majority of our contracts with customers for transportation services include only one performance obligation: the transportation services themselves. We generally recognize revenue over time as we perform the services in the contract because of the continuous transfer of control to the customer. Our remaining performance obligations are primarily comprised of transportation services started but not completed as of the reporting date and we expect to complete these remaining performance obligations within a short period of time. 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.

Contract Assets and Liabilities
Contract assets include billed and unbilled amounts resulting from in-transit packages, as we have an unconditional right to payment only once all performance obligations have been completed (i.e. packages have been delivered) and our right to payment is not solely based on the passage of time. Amounts may 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.
7
UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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 of consideration 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 advance payment will be earned. We classify deferred revenue as current based on the timing of when we expect to recognize revenue, which typically occurs within a short window after period-end. The full balance of deferred revenue is converted each quarter 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 related to in-transit packages were $350 and $304 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, net of deferred revenue related to in-transit packages of $339 and $314 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and are included within Other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Short-term contract liabilities related to advance payments from customers were $10 and $27 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and are included within Other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Long-term contract liabilities related to advance payments from customers were $26 and $25 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and are included within Other Non-Current Liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
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 June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $145 and $128 million, respectively. Amounts for credit losses charged to expense, before recoveries, during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were $52 and $39 million, respectively, and for six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, were $106 and $80 million, respectively.

Upon vesting, Restricted Units result in the issuance of the equivalent number of UPS class A common shares after required tax withholdings. Dividends accrued on Restricted Units are reinvested in additional Restricted Units at each dividend payable date and are subject to the same vesting and forfeiture conditions as the underlying Restricted Units.
Our primary equity compensation programs are the UPS Management Incentive Award program (the "MIP"), the UPS Long-Term Incentive Performance Award program (the "LTIP") and the UPS Stock Option program. We also maintain an employee stock purchase plan which allows eligible employees to purchase shares of UPS class A common stock at a discount. Our matching contributions to our primary employee defined contribution savings plan are made in shares of UPS class A common stock.
Management Incentive Award Program
RPUs issued under the MIP vest one year following the grant date based on continued employment with the Company (except in the case of death, disability or retirement, in which case immediate vesting occurs). The grant value is expensed on a straight-line basis (less estimated forfeitures) over the requisite service period (except in the case of death, disability or retirement, in which case immediate expensing occurs).
Based on the date of Compensation Committee approval of the 2021 MIP award, we determined the award measurement dates to be February 9, 2022 (for U.S.-based employees and executive management) and March 21, 2022 (for international employees). The RPUs issued under the MIP were valued using the closing New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") prices of $225.07 and $218.56 on those dates.
Long-Term Incentive Performance Award Program
RPUs issued under the LTIP vest at the end of a three-year performance period, assuming continued employment with the Company (except in the case of death, disability or retirement, in which case immediate vesting occurs on a prorated basis). 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 adjusted cumulative free cash flow. The actual number of RPUs earned is subject to adjustment based on total shareholder return relative to the Standard & Poors 500 Index ("S&P 500"). 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 Compensation Committee approval of the 2022 LTIP award performance targets, we determined March 23, 2022 to be the award measurement date and the target RPUs awarded were valued at $230.67.
The weighted-average assumptions used and the weighted-average fair values of the LTIP awards granted in 2022 and 2021 are as follows:
| 2022 | 2021 | ||||||||||
| Risk-free interest rate | 2.29 | % | 0.19 | % | |||||||

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 23, 2022, we granted 0.1 million stock options at an exercise price of $214.58, the NYSE closing price on that date.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted-average assumptions used and the weighted-average fair values of options granted in 2022 and 2021 are as follows:
| 2022 | 2021 | ||||||||||

Pre-tax compensation expense for share-based awards recognized in Compensation and benefits on the statements of consolidated income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $231 and $206 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $617 and $521 million, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we amended the UPS Canada Ltd. Retirement Plan to cease future benefit accruals effective December 31, 2023. We remeasured plan assets and benefit obligations for this plan, which resulted in a curtailment gain of $33 million ($24 million after tax) during the six month period. The gain is included in Investment income and other in the statement of consolidated income for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
On April 30, 2021, we divested our UPS Freight business, which triggered an interim remeasurement of the plan assets and benefit obligations of the UPS Pension Plan, UPS Retirement Plan and UPS Retired Employee Health Care Plan as of this date. The interim remeasurement resulted in an actuarial gain of $2.1 billion, reflecting updated actuarial assumptions and was recorded in other comprehensive income within the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet. An actuarial gain of $69 million ($52 million after tax) for a prior service credit related to the divested group and a $66 million loss ($50 million after tax) for certain plan amendments to the UPS Pension Plan were immediately recognized within Other expenses in the statement of consolidated income for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we remeasured the UPS/IBT Full Time Employee Pension Plan following the enactment into law of the American Rescue Plan Act, which is discussed below. The interim remeasurement resulted in a pre-tax mark-to-market gain of $3.3 billion ($2.5 billion after tax) during the six month period. The gain was included within Investment income and other in the statement of consolidated income for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

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 June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $826 and $830 million, respectively, recorded in Other Non-Current Liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets and $8 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, recorded in Other current liabilities on 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 40 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 June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $744 and $963 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 and paid a $6.1 billion withdrawal liability to satisfy our allocable share of unfunded vested benefits. 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 lawfully reduced by the CSPF in the future consistent with the terms of our withdrawal agreement with the CSPF. Under this withdrawal agreement, benefits to the UPS Transfer Group cannot be reduced without our consent and can only be reduced in accordance with applicable law. The financial crisis of 2008 created extensive asset losses at the CSPF, contributing to the plan’s projected insolvency, at which time benefits would be reduced to the legally permitted Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") limits, triggering the coordination of benefits provision in the collective bargaining agreement.
In 2014, Congress passed the Multiemployer Pension Reform Act (“MPRA”). This change in law for the first time permitted multiemployer pension plans to reduce benefit payments to retirees, subject to specific guidelines in the statute and government approval. In 2015, the CSPF submitted a proposed pension benefit reduction plan to the U.S. Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”). In 2016, Treasury rejected the proposed plan submitted by the CSPF. In light of its financial difficulties, the CSPF had stated that it believed a legislative solution to its funded status would be necessary or that it would become insolvent in 2025, at which time benefits would be reduced to the applicable PBGC benefit levels.
We account for the potential obligation to pay coordinating benefits to the UPS Transfer Group under ASC 715, which requires us to provide a best estimate of various actuarial assumptions, including the eventual outcome of this matter, in measuring our pension benefit obligation at the December 31st measurement date and at interim periods when a significant event occurs. ASC 715 does not permit anticipation of changes in law when developing a best estimate.
At the December 31, 2020 measurement date, we developed our best estimate for the potential obligation to pay coordinating benefits to the UPS Transfer Group using a deterministic cash flow projection that reflected estimated CSPF cash flows and investment earnings, the lack of legislative action having been taken, the expectation of payment of guaranteed benefits by the PBGC and the lack of a benefit reduction plan under MPRA having been filed by the CSPF. As a result, our best estimate at that time of the obligation for coordinating benefits that may have been required to be directly provided by the UPS/IBT Plan to the UPS Transfer Group was $5.5 billion.
In March 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act (“ARPA”) was enacted into law. The ARPA contains provisions that allow for qualifying financially distressed multiemployer pension plans to apply for special financial assistance ("SFA") from the PBGC, which will be funded by Treasury. Following approval of an application, a qualifying multiemployer pension plan will receive a lump sum payment to enable it to continue paying unreduced 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. On July 9, 2021, the PBGC issued interim final regulations implementing the SFA program established under the ARPA. On April 28, 2022, the CSPF submitted an application to the PBGC for SFA. The PBGC has up to 120 days from the date of submission to review the application.
16
UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The passage of the ARPA and the expected receipt of SFA by the CSPF currently suspends our obligation to provide additional coordinating benefits to the UPS Transfer Group through 2051. These matters also triggered a plan remeasurement under ASC 715. Accordingly, we remeasured the plan assets and pension benefit obligation of the UPS/IBT Plan as of March 31, 2021 resulting in an actuarial gain of $6.4 billion, reflecting a reduction of the liability for coordinating benefits of $5.1 billion and a gain from other updated actuarial assumptions of $1.3 billion.
The future value of this estimate 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 PBGC to sustain its 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 715.
Collective Bargaining Agreements
We have approximately 327,000 employees employed under a national master agreement and various supplemental agreements with local unions affiliated with the IBT. These agreements run through July 31, 2023.
We have approximately 3,200 pilots who are employed under a collective bargaining agreement with the Independent Pilots Association ("IPA"). This collective bargaining agreement becomes amendable September 1, 2023. In the second quarter of 2022, we reached a tentative agreement on a two-year contract extension with the IPA. If ratified, the new agreement will extend the amendable date to September 1, 2025.
We have approximately 1,700 airline mechanics who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement with Teamsters Local 2727 which becomes amendable November 1, 2023. In addition, approximately 3,300 of our auto and maintenance mechanics who are not employed under agreements with the IBT are employed under collective bargaining agreements with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (“IAM”). The collective bargaining agreement with the IAM runs through July 31, 2024.

As of June 30, 2022, we had a trade name with a carrying value of $200 million and licenses with a current carrying value of $4 million, which are deemed to be indefinite-lived intangible assets and are included in the table above. Our 2021 annual impairment testing of these assets indicated that the fair value of the trade name, which is associated with our truckload brokerage business, remained greater than its carrying value as of our testing date, although this excess was less than 10 percent. There were no events or changes in circumstances during the six months ended June 30, 2022 that would indicate the carrying amount of our indefinite-lived intangible assets may be impaired as of the date of this report.
Impairment tests for finite-lived intangible assets are performed when a triggering event occurs that may indicate that the carrying value of the intangible asset may not be recoverable. There were no impairment charges for finite-lived intangible assets during the three or six months ended June 30, 2022. We recorded $1 and $7 million in impairment charges for finite-lived intangible assets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

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. As of June 30, 2022, we had no outstanding balances under our commercial paper programs.
Debt Classification
We have classified certain floating-rate senior notes that are redeemable at the option of the note holder as long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets, due to our intent and ability to refinance the debt if the put option is exercised.
Debt Repayments
During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, our 2.350% senior notes with a principal balance of $600 million and our floating rate senior notes with a principal balance of $400 million matured and were repaid in full.
Reference Rate Reform
Our floating-rate senior notes with maturities ranging from 2049 through 2067 bear interest at rates that reference the London Interbank Offer Rate ("LIBOR") for U.S. Dollars. As part of a broader program of reference rate reform, it is expected that U.S. Dollar LIBOR rates will cease to be published after June 2023. We are currently working to transition these notes to an alternative reference rate, and we anticipate that the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") will be adopted in accordance with recommendations of the Alternative Reference Rates Committee.
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 6, 2022. 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 June 30, 2022 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%, 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 June 30, 2022 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 & Poors 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 June 30, 2022.
Debt Covenants
Our existing debt instruments and credit facilities subject us to certain financial covenants. As of June 30, 2022, 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 June 30, 2022, 10% of net tangible assets was equivalent to $4.7 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 financial condition or 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 $20.4 and $25.1 billion as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 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, aircraft and engines, information technology equipment (primarily mainframes, servers and copiers), vehicles and various other equipment used in operating our business. Certain leases for real estate and aircraft contain options to purchase, extend or terminate the lease.
We recognize a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and lease obligation for all leases greater than twelve months. Some of our leases contain both lease and non-lease components, which we have elected to treat as a single lease component. We have also elected not to recognize leases that have an original lease term, including reasonably certain renewal or purchase options, of twelve months or less in our consolidated balance sheets for all classes of underlying assets. Lease costs for short-term leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Determining the lease term and amount of lease payments to include in the calculation of the ROU asset and lease obligation for leases containing options requires the use of judgment to determine whether the exercise of an option is reasonably certain and whether the optional period and payments should be included in the calculation of the associated ROU asset and lease obligation. In making this determination, we consider all relevant economic factors that would compel us to exercise or not exercise an option.
When our leases contain future payments that are dependent on an index or rate, such as the consumer price index, we initially measure the lease obligation and ROU asset using the index or rate at the commencement date. In subsequent periods, lease payments dependent on an index or rate are not remeasured. Rather, changes to payments due to a change in an index or rate are recognized in our statements of consolidated income in the period of the change.
When available, we use the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments; however, the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for substantially all of our leases. For these leases, we use an estimate of our incremental borrowing rate to discount lease payments based on information available at lease commencement. The incremental borrowing rate is derived using multiple inputs including our credit rating, the impact of full collateralization, lease term and denominated currency. Our remaining lease terms vary from 1 month to 138 years.
Aircraft
In addition to the aircraft that we own, we have leases for 311 aircraft. Of these leased aircraft, 19 are classified as finance leases, 18 are classified as operating leases and the remaining 274 are classified as short-term leases. A majority of the obligations associated with the aircraft classified as finance leases have been legally defeased. 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.
In order to meet customers' needs, 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. Additionally, the lease payments associated with these charter agreements are variable in nature based on the number of hours flown.
Real Estate
We have operating and finance leases for package centers, airport facilities, warehouses, office space and expansion facilities utilized during peak shipping periods. Many of our leases contain charges for common area maintenance or other expenses that are updated based on landlord estimates. Due to this variability, the cash flows associated with these charges are not included in the minimum lease payments used in determining the ROU asset and associated lease obligation.
Some of our real estate leases contain options to renew or extend the lease or terminate the lease before the expiration date. These options are factored into the determination of the lease term and lease payments when their exercise is considered to be reasonably certain.
We also enter into real estate leases that contain lease incentives, such as tenant improvement allowances or move-in allowances, that are received or receivable at lease commencement. These incentives reduce lease payments for classification purposes and reduce the initial ROU asset. When lease incentives are receivable at lease commencement, these also reduce the initial lease obligation.

UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
From time to time, we enter into leases with the intention of purchasing the underlying property, either through purchase options with a fixed price or a purchase agreement negotiated contemporaneously with the lease agreement. We classify these leases as finance leases and include the purchase date and purchase price in the determination of the lease term and lease payments, respectively, when the option to exercise or purchase is reasonably certain.
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. The lease term for these types of leases is determined by the length of the underlying customer contract or based on the judgment of the business unit. We also enter into multi-year leases for trailers to increase capacity during periods of high demand, which are typically only used for 90-120 days during the year. These leases are treated as short-term as the cumulative right of use is less than 12 months over the term of the contract.
The remainder of our leases are primarily related to equipment used in our air operations, vehicles required to meet capacity needs during periods of higher demand for our shipping services, technology equipment and office equipment used in our facilities.
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 ROU asset and associated lease obligation.

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 all pending matters, including (except as otherwise noted herein) the matters described below, and we intend to vigorously defend each matter. We accrue amounts associated with legal proceedings 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. At this time, we do not believe that any loss associated with any such matter will have a material impact on our operations or financial condition. One of these matters, Hughes v. UPS Supply Chain Solutions, Inc. and United Parcel Service, Inc. had previously been certified as a class action in Kentucky state court. In the second quarter of 2019, the court granted our motion for judgment on the pleadings related to the wage-and-hour claims. The plaintiffs' appeal of this decision was denied; however, in the second quarter of 2022 the plaintiffs were granted discretionary review of these claims by the Kentucky Supreme Court.
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. On March 8, 2018, the CNMC adopted a final decision, finding an infringement and imposing an immaterial fine on UPS. We appealed the decision and, in September 2018, obtained a suspension of the implementation of the decision (including payment of the fine). The appeal is pending. We do not believe that any loss from this matter would have a material impact on our operations or financial condition. We are vigorously defending ourselves and believe that we have a number of meritorious legal defenses. There are also unresolved questions of law and fact that could be important to the ultimate resolution of this matter.
In November 2021, the Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") sent us an information request related to hazardous waste regulatory compliance at certain of our facilities. The EPA has indicated that it is investigating potential recordkeeping violations of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act at those facilities. We are cooperating with the EPA. An immaterial accrual with respect to this matter is included in our consolidated balance sheets. We do not believe that any loss from this matter would have a material impact on our operations or financial condition, although we are unable to predict what action, if any, might be taken in the future by the EPA as a result of this request.
We are a party in various other matters that arose in the normal course of business. We do not believe that the eventual resolution of these 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 Minority 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 NYSE under the symbol “UPS”. Class A and B shares both have a $0.01 par value, and as of June 30, 2022, 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 June 30, 2022, no preferred shares had been issued.

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. We repurchased 5.5 and 6.7 million shares of class B common stock for $983 million and $1.2 billion under this program during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. As of June 30, 2022, we had $3.3 billion of our share repurchase authorization available. In July 2022, we announced that we anticipate our share repurchases will total approximately $3.0 billion for all of 2022.
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.

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 Deferred compensation obligations in the Shareowners’ Equity section of 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 subsequent to December 31, 2004.

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 and are broken down into regional operations around the world. Regional operations managers are responsible for both domestic and export products within their geographic area. Supply Chain Solutions comprises the results of non-reportable operating segments that do not meet the quantitative and qualitative criteria of a reportable segment as defined under ASC Topic 280 – 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 220 countries and territories worldwide, including shipments wholly outside the United States, as well as shipments with either origin or destination outside the United States. Our International Package reporting segment includes our operations in Europe, Asia, Americas and Indian Sub-Continent, Middle East and Africa.
Supply Chain Solutions
Supply Chain Solutions includes our Forwarding, Logistics, Coyote, Marken, UPS Mail Innovations and other businesses. Our Forwarding, Logistics and UPS Mail Innovations units provide services in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide and include international air and ocean freight forwarding, customs brokerage, distribution and post-sales services, mail and consulting services. Coyote offers truckload brokerage services primarily in the United States. Marken is a global provider of supply chain solutions to the healthcare and life sciences industry, specializing in clinical trials logistics. Our other businesses include The UPS Store, UPS Capital, Roadie and Delivery Solutions. UPS Freight was included within this segment until its divestiture in the second quarter of 2021.
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 that 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 expense allocated to each segment, and therefore the operating profit of each reporting segment. We periodically refine our allocation methodologies to reflect changes in our business. There were no significant changes to our allocation methodologies in the second quarter or year-to-date periods.

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. To manage the impact of these exposures, we may enter into a variety of derivative financial instruments. Our objective is to manage, where it is deemed appropriate to do so, fluctuations in earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates. It is our policy and practice to use derivative financial instruments only to the extent necessary to manage exposures. As we use price-sensitive instruments to hedge a certain portion of our existing and anticipated transactions, we expect that any loss in value from those instruments generally would be offset by increases in the value of those hedged transactions. 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; 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 counterparties to prevent concentrations of credit risk with any single counterparty.
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had agreements with all of our active counterparties (covering all of our derivative positions) which contained early termination rights and/or zero threshold bilateral collateral provisions whereby cash is required based on the net fair value of derivatives associated with those counterparties.
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we held cash collateral of $546 and $260 million, respectively, under these agreements. This collateral is included in Cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated balance sheets and our use of it is not restricted. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, no collateral was required to be posted with our counterparties.
Events such as a counterparty 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. Alternatively, we could be required to provide additional collateral or terminate transactions with certain counterparties in the event of a downgrade of our credit rating. The amount of collateral required would be determined by the net fair value of the associated derivatives with each counterparty. We have not historically incurred, and do not expect to incur in the future, any losses as a result of counterparty default.
Types of Hedges
Commodity Risk Management
Currently, the fuel surcharges that we apply to our domestic and international package services 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 hedge portions of our forecasted revenue denominated in foreign currencies with forward contracts. We normally designate and account for these contracts as cash flow hedges of anticipated foreign currency denominated revenue and, therefore, the resulting gains and losses from these hedges are recognized as a component of international package revenue when the underlying sales transactions occur.
We also hedge portions of our anticipated cash settlements of intercompany transactions and interest payments on certain debt subject to foreign currency remeasurement using foreign currency forward contracts. We normally designate and account for these contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted foreign currency denominated transactions; therefore, the resulting gains and losses from these hedges are recognized as a component of Investment income and other when the underlying transactions are subject to currency remeasurement.
34
UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We hedge our net investment in certain foreign operations with foreign currency denominated debt instruments. The use of foreign denominated debt as the hedging instrument allows the debt to be remeasured to foreign currency translation adjustment within other comprehensive income to offset the translation risk from those investments. Balances in the foreign currency translation adjustment account remain until the sale or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity, upon which we recognize these balances as a component of Investment income and other in the statements of consolidated income.
Interest Rate Risk Management
Our indebtedness under our various financing arrangements creates interest rate risk. We use a combination of derivative instruments as part of our program to manage the fixed and floating interest rate mix of our total debt portfolio and related overall cost of borrowing. Interest rate swaps allow us to maintain a target range of floating-rate debt within our capital structure. The notional amount, interest payment date and maturity date of the swaps match the terms of the associated debt being hedged.
We have designated and account for the majority of our interest rate swaps that convert fixed-rate interest payments into floating-rate interest payments as fair value hedges of the associated debt instruments. Therefore, the gains and losses resulting from fair value adjustments to the interest rate swaps and fair value adjustments to the associated debt instruments are recorded to interest expense in the period in which the gains and losses occur. We have designated 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. The gains and losses resulting from fair value adjustments to these interest rate swaps are recorded to other comprehensive income.
We 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. These agreements effectively lock a portion of our interest rate exposure between the time the agreement is entered into and the date when the debt offering is completed, thereby mitigating the impact of interest rate changes on future interest expense. These derivatives are settled commensurate with the issuance of the debt, and any gain or loss upon settlement is amortized as an adjustment to the effective interest yield on the debt.
Outstanding Positions
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the notional amounts of our outstanding derivative positions were as follows (in millions):

Our fixed to floating interest rate swaps are designated as a fair value hedge of our 2.450% fixed rate notes that mature in October 2022. These instruments utilize LIBOR as the reference rate to determine the floating interest rate to be paid. As these instruments will settle before the applicable U.S. Dollar LIBOR rate ceases to be published in June 2023, we have not evaluated the application of ASC Topic 848 to these instruments.

Additionally, we maintain foreign currency exchange forward contracts that are not designated as hedges.

We also periodically terminate foreign currency exchange forward contracts by entering into offsetting foreign currency exchange positions with different counterparties. As part of this process, we de-designate our original foreign currency exchange contracts. These transactions provide an economic offset that effectively eliminates the effects of changes in market valuation.

NOTE 16. INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rate increased to 22.9% in the second quarter from 22.1% in the same period of 2021 (22.3% year to date compared to 22.5% in 2021). The recognition in income tax of excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation reduced our effective rate by 0.1% in the second quarter compared to 0.3% in the same period of 2021 (1.2% year to date compared to 0.8% in 2021). Other items that impacted our effective tax rate in the second quarter compared to 2021 included favorable changes in uncertain tax positions and unfavorable changes in our jurisdictional earnings mix.
As discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, 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 timing of interest deductions and the allocation of income and expense between tax jurisdictions. These changes could result from the settlement of ongoing litigation, the completion of ongoing examinations, the expiration of statutes of limitations or other unforeseen circumstances.
In the first six months of 2022, we recognized an immaterial income tax expense related to a pre-tax curtailment gain of $33 million on the UPS Canada Ltd. Retirement Plan. This income tax expense was generated at a higher average tax rate than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate because it included the effect of foreign taxes.
In the first six months of 2021, we recognized an income tax expense of $788 million related to a pre-tax mark-to-market gain of $3.3 billion on the UPS/IBT Full-Time Employee Pension Plan. This income tax expense was generated at a higher average tax rate than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate because it included the effect of U.S. state and local taxes.
As discussed in note 17, we recognized pre-tax transformation strategy costs of $41 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $116 million in the same period of 2021 ($96 million year to date compared to $234 million in the prior year). As a result, we recorded an income tax benefit of $10 million in the second quarter compared to $28 million in the same period of 2021 ($22 million year to date compared to $56 million in the prior year). The income tax benefit was generated at a higher average tax rate than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate primarily due to the effect of U.S. state and local taxes and foreign taxes.
We recorded a pre-tax valuation allowance against assets held for sale of $66 million during the first quarter of 2021, resulting in an additional income tax benefit of $16 million. This income tax benefit was generated at a higher average tax rate than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate due to the effect of U.S. state and local taxes. In the second quarter of 2021, we completed the divestiture of UPS Freight and recorded a pre-tax gain of $101 million. As a result, we recorded additional income tax expense of $24 million. The 2021 expense was generated at a higher average tax rate than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate due to the effect of U.S. state and local taxes.
Beginning in 2012, we were granted a tax incentive for certain of our non-U.S. operations, which was effective through December 31, 2021. During the first six months of 2022, the tax incentive was renegotiated and extended. The tax incentive is conditioned upon our meeting specific employment and investment thresholds, which we expect to meet. The impact of the tax incentive did not significantly change our effective tax rate for the first six months of 2022 compared to 2021.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
Pursuing our Customer First, People Led, Innovation Driven strategy, we continue to build capabilities that create value for our customers. Our strategy involves creating speed and ease of access to our services, particularly in the parts of the market that value our end-to-end network, and driving productivity improvements in our business, while delivering strong financial results to our shareowners.
Customer First is focused on leveraging technology to enable digital commerce solutions. During the quarter, we expanded our Digital Access Program and our advanced technology healthcare solution that prioritizes complex healthcare shipments within our network. We also completed the acquisition of Delivery Solutions, a digital platform that optimizes customer deliveries across multiple networks. As part of our People Led strategic focus, we recently appointed a Chief Digital and Technology Officer to lead the continuing digital transformation of our business. Executing under our Innovation Driven strategic pillar, we continue to increase the agility and automation of our network with smart facility technology that better enables us to respond more rapidly to shifting volume trends and improves productivity.
A number of external factors contributed to a challenging operating environment for the first half of the year, including global inflation, which impacted consumer spending, geopolitical uncertainties, wage and labor market pressures, fuel prices and foreign currency exchange rates. Additionally, areas within Asia continued to experience shutdowns and other restrictions as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. These factors resulted in disruptions to certain parts of our business, negatively impacted demand for our services and contributed to increases in certain of our operating costs. We expect these impacts will continue throughout the remainder of 2022.
Volume declined in our U.S. Domestic Package reportable segment in both the current year periods, driven by lower residential volume as we continued to optimize our network within our Better not Bigger strategic framework. Broader economic factors also contributed to reduced demand for residential deliveries. Revenue per piece growth more than offset the decline in volume for both the quarter and year to date. Successful execution of our strategy primarily drove increases in operating profit and operating margin in both periods.
Our International Package reportable segment was also impacted by those external factors, as well as the year-over-year impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on e-commerce spending. This resulted in volume declines in the current year periods, although the declines were more than offset by revenue per piece growth. Results were also impacted by the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against European currencies. Despite the challenging global environment, we continued to invest in our business by adding strategic lanes to our network and creating joint ventures to expand our services.
Within Supply Chain Solutions, year-over-year revenue growth was impacted by the second quarter 2021 divestiture of UPS Freight. Operating profit and operating margin increased, driven by growth in Forwarding and Logistics. Our Forwarding business continued to benefit from elevated market rates in international airfreight and ocean freight, which we anticipate will decrease in the latter half of the year. Truckload brokerage increased operating profit through revenue quality initiatives. Operating profit growth in Logistics was driven by business growth across our operations, including healthcare.
Our strategic execution continued to result in the generation of strong cash flows in the first half of the year, which we are reinvesting in the business and returning to shareowners through dividends and share repurchases. We recently announced an increase in our targeted share repurchases for 2022 to $3.0 billion.

•Revenue increased in all segments in the current year periods, with double-digit revenue per piece growth in our global small package operations.
•Average daily package volume in our global small package operations decreased, primarily due to business-to-consumer volume declines.
•Operating expenses increased for both the quarter and year to date, primarily driven by higher fuel prices.
•Operating profit increased in all segments for both the quarter and year to date. U.S. Domestic Package segment operating margin increased while International Package segment margin declined slightly in each period.
•Net income was $2.8 billion and diluted earnings per share was $3.25 for the second quarter ($5.5 billion and $6.28 per share year to date). Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $3.29 for the quarter ($6.33 per share year to date) after adjusting for the after-tax impacts of:
◦transformation strategy costs of $31 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for the second quarter ($74 million and $0.08 per diluted share year to date); and
◦a first-quarter defined benefit plan curtailment gain of $24 million, or $0.03 per diluted share that impacted the year-to-date period.
In the U.S. Domestic Package segment, revenue increased for the quarter and year to date, primarily due to higher fuel revenue driven by increases in both price per gallon and in fuel surcharge rates as part of our pricing strategy. Revenue quality and favorable shifts in customer mix also contributed to the increase. These factors were partially offset by volume declines. Expenses increased due to higher fuel prices and higher compensation and benefits costs.
In the International Package segment, revenue increased for the quarter and year to date, driven by fuel revenue and revenue quality, partially offset by lower volumes and unfavorable currency movements. Expense increases were primarily driven by higher jet fuel prices.
In Supply Chain Solutions, revenue growth for the quarter and year to date was primarily attributable to Forwarding and Logistics. Forwarding revenue growth was driven by market price increases, while Logistics experienced growth across its operations, particularly healthcare. Expenses were relatively flat for the quarter and year to date, as higher transportation costs in Forwarding and Logistics were offset by a reduction in operating expenses due to the second quarter 2021 divestiture of UPS Freight.

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. These include: "adjusted" compensation and benefits; operating expenses; operating profit; operating margin; other income and (expense); income before income taxes; income tax expense; effective tax rate; net income; and earnings per share. Adjusted financial measures may exclude the impact of period-over-period exchange rate changes and hedging activities, defined benefit plan gains and losses, transformation and other charges, goodwill and asset impairment charges, and divestitures, as described below.
We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide additional meaningful information to assist users of our financial statements in more fully understanding our financial results and assessing our ongoing performance, because they exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, our underlying operations, and may provide a useful baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses. These non-GAAP measures are used internally by management for business unit operating performance analysis, business unit resource allocation and in connection with incentive compensation award determinations.
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. Therefore, our adjusted financial measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies.
Adjusted amounts reflect the following (in millions):

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Changes and Hedging Activities
We also 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.
Defined Benefit 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 amendments, 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.
During the first quarter of 2022, we amended the UPS Canada Ltd. Retirement Plan to cease future benefit accruals effective December 31, 2023. As a result, we remeasured the plan's assets and benefit obligations as of March 31, 2022, resulting in a curtailment gain of $33 million ($24 million after-tax).
During the first quarter of 2021, we remeasured the UPS/IBT Full Time Employee Pension Plan following enactment into law of the American Rescue Plan Act and recognized a pre-tax mark-to-market gain outside of the 10% corridor of $3.3 billion ($2.5 billion after-tax).
These gains are included in Investment income and other in the statements of consolidated income. For additional information, refer to 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 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 second quarter or year-to-date periods.

Revenue
The change in revenue was due to the following factors:
| Volume | Rates / Product Mix | Fuel Surcharge | Total Revenue Change | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Revenue Change Drivers: | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Second quarter 2022 vs. 2021 | (4.0) | % | 4.7 | % | 6.6 | % | 7.3 | % | |||||||||||||||
| Year to date 2022 vs. 2021 | (2.8) | % | 5.0 | % | 5.4 | % | 7.6 | % | |||||||||||||||
Year to date, revenue also benefited from one additional operating day in the first half of 2022.
Volume
Average daily volume decreased in the second quarter and year to date, driven by an 8.2% decline in residential shipments (down 7.8% year to date). The decline in residential shipments for the quarter was primarily attributable to the optimization of volume from certain large customers as we continued to execute within our Better Not Bigger strategic framework. These declines were slightly offset by growth from small- and medium-sized businesses ("SMBs") and increased business-to-business shipments.
47
UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Volume for the quarter and year to date was also impacted by rising inflation that affected consumer demand and by a shift in consumer spending towards services. Business-to-consumer shipments for both the quarter and year to date represented approximately 57.3% of average daily volume, compared to 59.9% and 60.0%, respectively, in 2021.
Business-to-business shipments increased 2.3% for the quarter (up 2.9% year to date), with growth primarily in our Ground commercial product. We experienced growth from all customer segments as business-to-business activity continued to return to pre-pandemic levels. Overall, we anticipate that average daily volume will improve slightly in the second half of 2022 compared to the first half of the year.
Within our Air products, average daily volume decreased for the quarter, driven by lower volumes from certain of our large customers. Year to date, these declines were slightly offset by increases in Next Day Air volume from SMBs and other customers.
Within our Ground products, average daily volume decreased for the quarter and year to date, as declines in SurePost and Ground residential outpaced the gains in Ground commercial. SurePost and Ground residential average daily volumes decreased 4.8% and 8.1%, respectively, for the quarter (both decreased 7.7% year to date), driven by a reduction in shipments from a number of large retail customers. Ground residential was also impacted by changes in consumer spending as discussed above. Ground commercial volume increased 4.1% and 4.4% for the quarter and year to date, respectively, with growth from all customer segments as business activity continued to increase.
Rates and Product Mix
Revenue per piece in both our Air and Ground products increased for both the second quarter and year to date, driven by increases in fuel surcharges, base rates, pricing actions and favorable changes in customer mix as we continued to optimize volume within our network. Rates for Air and Ground products increased an average of 5.9% in December 2021, and our SurePost rates also increased at that time. In our Next Day Air and Deferred products, overall revenue per piece growth for the quarter and year to date was slightly impacted by a reduction in average billable weight per piece.
For the remainder of 2022, we anticipate that revenue per piece growth will moderate relative to the first half of the year.
Fuel Surcharges
We apply a fuel surcharge on our domestic air and ground services that is adjusted 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.
Total domestic fuel surcharge revenue increased $949 million in the second quarter (up $1.6 billion year to date), driven by increases in both price per gallon and in fuel surcharge rates as part of our pricing strategy. We expect fuel surcharge revenue to remain elevated throughout the remainder of 2022.

Operating Expenses
Operating expenses, and operating expenses excluding the year-over-year impact of transformation and other charges, increased for the quarter and year to date, partly due to the impact of one additional operating day in the year-to-date period. The cost of operating our integrated air and ground network increased $345 million (up $624 million year to date) and pickup and delivery costs increased $334 million (up $789 million year to date). Other indirect operating costs increased $176 million (up $234 million year to date) and package sorting costs increased $22 million (up $102 million year to date). These increases included the following:
•Higher fuel costs primarily attributable to increases in the price of jet fuel, diesel and gasoline, which we expect to persist.
•Increases in employee benefits expense for our union workforce primarily due to contractual rate increases for contributions to multiemployer benefit plans. We expect an additional contractual rate increase in the third quarter, in addition to higher year-over-year service cost for our company-sponsored pension plans.
•Higher compensation expense due to union contractual rate increases, cost of living and market-rate adjustments for our union workforce. These increases were partially offset by lower volumes, which led to a decrease in average daily union labor hours. We expect compensation expense will increase in the second half of the year as a result of the annual contractual rate increase, as well as additional cost of living and market-rate adjustments. Overall, we expect that compensation and benefits costs will increase by approximately $600 million year over year in the second half of 2022.
•Reallocation of Ground with Freight Pricing product expense following the second quarter 2021 divestiture of UPS Freight, which resulted in $26 million of increased segment operating expenses.
•Inflationary pressures that also contributed to cost increases in repairs and maintenance and facility operating costs.
Total cost per piece increased 10.6% for the second quarter (up 9.3% year to date). Excluding the impact of transformation and other charges, adjusted cost per piece increased 11.4% for the second quarter and 9.9% year to date, for the reasons described above. We anticipate that the cost per piece growth rate will moderate in the second half of the year and remain below revenue per piece growth as we expect our productivity initiatives to more than offset rising costs.
Operating Profit and Margin
As a result of the factors described above, operating profit increased $262 million in the second quarter (up $565 million year to date), with operating margin increasing 90 basis points to 11.8% (up 110 basis points to 11.4% year to date). Excluding the year-over-year impact of transformation and other charges, adjusted operating profit increased $180 million for the quarter (up $422 million year to date), with adjusted operating margin increasing 40 basis points to 12.0% (up 60 basis points to 11.6% year to date).

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Volume
Average daily volume decreased in the second quarter and year to date for both domestic and export products. Volume declined from both large customers and SMBs, primarily in the retail and technology sectors. Business-to-consumer volume decreased 22.8% for the quarter (down 21.7% year to date), driven by challenging global economic conditions, including rising inflation, geopolitical uncertainty and COVID-19 disruptions in Asia. Consumer e-commerce spending declined relative to the first half of 2021 when COVID-19 restrictions were in place in a number of countries, contributing to the year-over-year decline in residential volume. These factors also impacted business-to-business volume, which decreased 2.4% for the quarter (down 1.0% year to date). We expect overall volume growth rates to improve in the second half of the year, relative to the first half.
Export volume decreased for both the quarter and year to date periods, driven by declines in Europe and Asia. European volume declines were highest on intra-Europe trade lanes, driven by overall economic conditions. The intra-Europe declines were slightly offset by growth on the Europe to U.S. trade lane. The decline in Asia export volume for the quarter and year-to-date periods was primarily driven by COVID-19 disruptions, which resulted in fewer flights being operated and reduced business activity in certain areas within China.
We experienced a slight volume decline in our premium Express products for both the quarter and year to date, driven by declines in our Transborder Express Saver product. Volume for our non-premium export products decreased 4.3% in the quarter (down 3.3% year to date), primarily driven by declines in our Transborder Standard and Worldwide Expedited products. The decline in our Transborder products was driven by the factors discussed above, while the decline in our Worldwide Expedited product resulted from shifts in customer preferences.
Domestic volume also declined for the quarter and year to date, particularly in Canada and Germany, where the COVID-19 restrictions discussed above impacted year-over-year residential volume.
Rates and Product Mix
In December 2021, 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. Additionally, we continue to apply demand-related surcharges on certain lanes.
Total revenue per piece increased 14.8% in the quarter (up 12.6% year to date), primarily due to fuel surcharges and pricing structure changes, including demand-related surcharges, as well as favorable shifts in customer and product mix. These increases were partially offset by unfavorable currency movements. Excluding the impact of currency, revenue per piece increased 20.9% in the quarter (up 17.3% year to date). We expect our overall revenue per piece to decrease slightly for the remainder of the year. Additionally, we expect year-over-year growth in demand-related surcharges to moderate during the second half of the year.
Export revenue per piece increased 13.2% in the quarter (up 11.4% year to date) for the reasons described above. Excluding the impact of currency, export revenue per piece increased 17.9% in the quarter (up 14.9% year to date).
Domestic revenue per piece remained relatively flat for the second quarter and year to date, as unfavorable currency movements offset growth driven by the factors described above. Excluding the impact of currency, domestic revenue per piece increased 13.6% (up 10.2% year to date).
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 increased by $451 million for the second quarter (up $710 million year to date), driven by increases in both price per gallon and in fuel surcharge rates as part of our pricing strategy. These increases were slightly offset by volume declines. We expect fuel surcharges to continue to remain elevated throughout the remainder of 2022.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses, and operating expenses excluding the year-over-year impact of transformation and other charges, increased in both the second quarter and year to date. The costs of operating our integrated international air and ground network increased $444 million for the quarter (up $739 million year to date), primarily due to higher fuel prices and additional aircraft charters. We expect these costs to remain elevated throughout the remainder of 2022.
Pickup and delivery costs decreased $113 million in the quarter (down $151 million year to date), as inflationary pressures were more than offset by favorable currency movements and volume declines. Overall, other indirect and package sorting costs remained relatively flat for the quarter and year to date.
Substantially all of our operations in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine remain suspended, which actions have not had a material impact on us. We are continuing to monitor the evolving impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on the global economy and evaluating our long-term strategy in the region.
Operating Profit and Margin
As a result of the factors described above, operating profit increased $9 million for the second quarter (up $40 million year to date), with operating margin decreasing 110 basis points to 23.5% (down 90 basis points to 23.2% year to date). Excluding the year-over-year impact of transformation and other charges, adjusted operating profit increased $14 million in the quarter (up $43 million year to date), while adjusted operating margin decreased 100 basis points to 23.7% (down 80 basis points to 23.4% year to date).

Revenue
Total revenue for Supply Chain Solutions increased $29 million in the second quarter (up $116 million year to date) as strong revenue growth across a number of our businesses offset a $297 million decrease ($1.1 billion year-to-date decrease) attributable to the divestiture of UPS Freight in the second quarter of 2021.
53
UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forwarding revenue increased for both the quarter and year to date. In our international airfreight business, both volume and revenue declined in the second quarter, driven by the impacts of COVID restrictions in Asia and lower market demand. Year-to-date volume also declined, but was more than offset by the impact of elevated market rates and demand-related surcharges in the first quarter. Ocean freight forwarding revenue increased for both the quarter and year to date as market rates remained elevated due to capacity constraints, while volume declined. We expect rates to moderate during the remainder of 2022 in both the air and ocean freight markets as capacity returns to the market. While volume in our truckload brokerage business declined in the quarter and year-to-date periods, revenue remained relatively flat for the quarter, and increased $140 million year to date, driven by revenue quality initiatives.
Within Logistics, our healthcare operations experienced strong revenue growth for the quarter and year to date, driven by pharmaceuticals, clinical trials and lab customers. Revenue in our mail services business increased for both the quarter and year to date, driven by rate increases and a favorable shift in product characteristics, partially offset by lower volumes. Our other distribution operations experienced year-over-year revenue growth for both the quarter and year to date, driven by service expansion, revenue quality initiatives and strong demand for warehouse space.
Revenue from the other businesses within Supply Chain Solutions increased for both the quarter and year to date, driven by services provided to the acquirer of UPS Freight under certain transition services agreements, and by the acquisition of Roadie, Inc. in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Operating Expenses
Total operating expenses in Supply Chain Solutions increased for the quarter but decreased year to date. This included a decrease of $168 million ($952 million year to date) due to the divestiture of UPS Freight. Operating expenses, excluding the year-over-year impact of transformation and other charges, decreased for both the quarter and year to date.
Forwarding operating expenses decreased $50 million for the quarter, driven by a reduction in purchased transportation expense resulting from lower volumes in truckload brokerage and international airfreight. The impact of volume declines in the quarter was partially offset by elevated ocean freight forwarding and truckload brokerage rates. Year to date, operating expenses increased $342 million, primarily due to higher purchased transportation expense in our international airfreight and ocean freight forwarding businesses.
Logistics operating expenses increased $109 million for the quarter (up $235 million year to date) resulting from increases in third-party transportation and compensation and benefits expenses as a result of business growth and inflationary pressures. We anticipate that inflation and labor market pressures may continue to drive higher costs throughout the remainder of the year.
Expenses in the other businesses within Supply Chain Solutions increased for the quarter and year to date, largely due to transportation and other costs incurred in providing transition services to the acquirer of UPS Freight and the acquisition of Roadie, Inc..
Operating Profit and Margin
As a result of the factors described above, operating profit increased $6 million for the quarter (up $158 million year to date), with operating margin remaining unchanged at 12.1% (up 170 basis points to 11.4% year to date). Excluding the year-over-year impact of transformation strategy costs, goodwill and asset impairments, and divestitures, adjusted operating profit increased $109 million for the quarter (up $195 million year to date), with adjusted operating margin increasing 250 basis points to 12.2% (up 210 basis points to 11.6% year to date).

Compensation and Benefits
Total compensation and benefits, and total compensation and benefits excluding the year-over-year impact of transformation and other charges, increased for the quarter and year to date.
Total compensation costs and total compensation costs excluding transformation and other charges decreased $100 million in the quarter. For the year-to-date period, total compensation costs and total compensation costs excluding transformation and other charges decreased $69 million and $79 million, respectively. U.S. Domestic direct labor costs increased for both the quarter and year to date, driven by increases in wage rates and additional headcount in our line-haul network operations. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in labor hours due to decreases in average daily volume. Management compensation decreased for both the quarter and year to date, driven by decreases in commissions and incentive compensation awards, partially offset by increases in part-time management wages and headcount. The divestiture of UPS Freight reduced compensation costs by $93 million for the quarter ($328 million reduction year to date).
Benefits costs increased $131 million for the quarter (up $233 million year to date). Excluding the year-over-year impact of transformation and other charges, adjusted benefits costs increased $163 million for the quarter (up $318 million year to date). The primary drivers were:
•Health and welfare costs increased $59 million for the quarter (up $99 million year to date), due to increased contributions to multiemployer plans as a result of contractual rate increases. This was partly offset by the impact of divesting UPS Freight, which reduced our costs by $16 million for the quarter ($65 million reduction year to date).
•Pension and other postretirement benefits costs increased by $57 million for the quarter (up $20 million year to date), due to higher service costs for company-sponsored plans and increased contributions to multiemployer plans as a result of contractually-mandated contribution increases. The divestiture of UPS Freight drove a reduction in expense of $10 million for the quarter ($46 million reduction year to date).
•Vacation, excused absence, payroll taxes and other costs increased $22 million for the quarter (up $131 million year to date), primarily due to wage growth.
•Workers' compensation costs decreased $32 million for the quarter (up $3 million year to date), driven by changes in claims development trends relative to the prior year.
Repairs and Maintenance
Expense increased for both the quarter and year to date, due to an increase in planned building maintenance as well as increases in the cost of materials and supplies. We also incurred higher costs for aircraft engine and airframe maintenance in both the quarter and year-to-date periods due to the timing of scheduled maintenance events.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased as a result of facility automation and expansion projects coming into service, investments in internally developed software and the amortization of intangible assets acquired as part of the Roadie, Inc. acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Purchased Transportation
Third-party transportation expense charged to us by air, ocean and ground carriers decreased for the second quarter but increased year to date. The changes were primarily driven by:
•Supply Chain Solutions expense decreased by $19 million for the quarter, resulting from volume declines in our international airfreight and truckload brokerage businesses that were largely offset by increases in ocean freight rates and growth in our logistics operations. Year to date, this expense increased $326 million, due to rate increases in international airfreight, ocean freight and truckload brokerage, slightly offset by the impact of volume reductions within these businesses.
•The divestiture of UPS Freight resulted in a $73 million decrease in expense for the quarter ($260 million decrease year to date) within Supply Chain Solutions, which was somewhat offset by the cost of transportation procured under transition service agreements with the acquirer of the business.
•U.S. Domestic expense decreased $41 million (down $42 million year to date), driven by a reduction in ground volume handled by third-party carriers and network optimization initiatives.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Fuel
The increase in fuel expense for both the quarter and year to date was primarily driven by higher prices for jet fuel, diesel and gasoline. Market prices and the manner in which we purchase fuel may influence the impact on 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 both the quarter and year to date as a result of additional operating facilities coming into service, higher utilities costs and increases in rental rates.
Other Expenses
Other expenses, and other expenses excluding the year-over-year impact of transformation and other charges, increased for both the quarter and year to date, primarily as a result of:
•An increase of $56 million in the quarter ($70 million increase year to date) in commissions paid for certain online shipments.
•An increase of $23 million in the quarter ($36 million increase year to date) in our allowance for credit losses, primarily resulting from a deterioration in economic forecasts relative to the prior year.
•Hosted software application fees and other technology costs increased $21 million in the quarter (up $52 million year to date), in support of ongoing investments in our digital transformation.
•Professional fees increased $20 million in the quarter (up $23 million year to date) as a result of an increase in services provided to various business units.
•The cost of goods provided under transition service agreements to the acquirer of UPS Freight increased $13 million in the quarter ($41 million year to date).
Other increases for the quarter and year to date included costs related to the lease and purchase of additional vehicles for our network and self-insured automobile liability expense driven by increases in the frequency and severity of claims. These increases were partially offset by favorable developments in certain legal and tax contingencies and a reduction in asset impairment charges.

Investment Income and Other
The decrease in investment income and other for the quarter was primarily due to changes in the fair value of certain non-current investments and a decrease in other pension income. These losses were partially offset by foreign currency gains and higher yields on invested assets.
Year to date, investment income and other decreased $3.3 billion due to year-over-year changes in defined benefit plan adjustments. We recognized a $3.3 billion defined benefit plan mark-to-market gain in 2021 compared to a $33 million defined benefit plan curtailment gain in 2022. Excluding the impact of these defined benefit plan gains, adjusted investment income and other decreased $56 million, primarily due to year-over-year changes in the fair value of certain non-current investments, as well as a decrease in other pension income.
Other pension income decreased $4 million for the quarter (down $20 million year to date) due to the following:
•Lower expected returns on pension assets as a result of a reduction in our rate of return assumption, partially offset by a higher asset base due to contributions and positive asset returns in 2021.
•Higher pension interest cost due to an increase in projected benefit obligations and changes in demographic assumptions, partially offset by the impact of lower discount rates for the quarter. Year to date, pension interest cost increased due to the impact of changes in demographic data.
•Prior service cost decreased as the cost base from certain plan amendments became fully amortized during 2021.
Interest Expense
The increase in interest expense for both the quarter and year to date was primarily due to higher effective interest rates on floating rate debt and a reduction in capitalized interest, partially offset by lower average outstanding debt balances and a positive impact from currency exchange rates on foreign currency denominated debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2022, we had $12.1 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 and pension contributions, transformation strategy 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. We deploy a disciplined and balanced approach to capital allocation, including returns to shareowners through dividends and share repurchases.

Net cash from operating activities decreased $161 million in the 2022 period, primarily due to:
•An unfavorable change in working capital due to the timing of payroll and other compensation-related items, as well as the settlement of duties and taxes on behalf of our customers.
•A reduction in income taxes payable due to the timing of tax payments relative to accruals.
•A decrease in contributions to our company-sponsored pension and U.S. postretirement medical benefit plans, driven by the timing of contributions to our U.S. postretirement medical plan.
•An increase in our net hedge margin collateral position due to changes in the fair value of derivative contracts used in our currency and interest rate hedging programs.
As part of our ongoing efforts to improve our working capital efficiency, 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 June 30, 2022 and 2021, suppliers sold them $599 and $412 million, respectively, of our outstanding payment obligations. Amounts due to suppliers that participate in the SCF program may be reflected in cash flows from operating activities or cash flows from investing activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows. The amounts settled through the SCF program were approximately $712 and $578 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

As of June 30, 2022, approximately $3.6 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 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.

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 current investment program anticipates investments in technology initiatives and enhanced network capabilities, including over $1 billion of projects to support our environmental sustainability goals in 2022. It also provides for the maintenance of buildings, facilities and plant equipment and replacement of certain aircraft within our fleet. We currently expect that our capital expenditures will total approximately $5.5 billion in 2022, of which approximately 60 percent will be allocated to expansion projects.
Total capital expenditures decreased in the 2022 period, primarily due to:
•Spending on buildings, facilities and plant equipment in our global small package business decreased as supply chain disruptions resulted in delays in certain projects.
•Aircraft expenditures decreased due to fewer payments associated with the delivery of aircraft, partially offset by increases in contract deposits on open aircraft orders.
•Vehicle expenditures decreased as supply chain disruptions impacted delivery schedules.
•Information technology expenditures increased due to additional deployments of technology equipment and capitalized software projects.
The net change in finance receivables was primarily due to reductions in outstanding balances within our finance portfolios. Purchases and sales of marketable securities are largely determined by liquidity needs and the periodic rebalancing of investment types, and will fluctuate from period to period.
The increase in cash paid for business acquisitions in 2022 was primarily due to the acquisition of Delivery Solutions, as well as the purchase of additional development areas for The UPS Store relative to the 2021 period. Other investing activities were impacted by changes in our non-current investments, purchase contract deposits and various other items.

We repurchased 6.7 million shares of class B common stock for $1.2 billion under our stock repurchase program during the six months ended June 30, 2022. We did not repurchase any shares during the six months ended June 30, 2021. In July 2022, we announced that we anticipate our share repurchases will total approximately $3.0 billion for all of 2022. For additional information on our share repurchase activities, see note 12 to the unaudited, consolidated financial statements.
We increased our quarterly cash dividend to $1.52 per share in 2022, compared to $1.02 in 2021. 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.
There were no issuances of debt during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Repayments of debt in 2022 included our $600 million 2.350% senior notes, our $400 million floating rate senior notes and scheduled principal payments on our finance lease obligations. In the prior year-to-date period, issuances of debt consisted of borrowings under our commercial paper program. Repayments included $2.6 billion of fixed-rate senior notes, commercial paper and scheduled principal payments on our finance lease obligations.
We have $1.0 billion of fixed rate senior notes outstanding that mature in 2022. We currently expect to repay these notes at maturity with cash from operations. 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.
The amount of commercial paper outstanding fluctuates throughout the year based on daily liquidity needs. As of June 30, 2022, we had no outstanding balances under our commercial paper programs.
Cash flows from other financing activities were attributable to the repurchase of shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations on vested employee stock awards. Cash outflows for this purpose were $512 and $359 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase 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, 2021, 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 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):
| June 30, 2022 | December 31, 2021 | ||||||||||
| Currency Derivatives | $ | 529 | $ | 173 | |||||||
| Interest Rate Derivatives | (7) | 1 | |||||||||
| $ | 522 | $ | 174 | ||||||||
As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had no outstanding commodity hedge positions.
Our market risks, hedging strategies and financial instrument positions as of June 30, 2022 have not materially changed from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. In 2022, we entered into several 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, 2021 and June 30, 2022 in the preceding table are primarily due to interest rate and 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 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 zero threshold bilateral collateral provisions whereby cash is required based on the net fair value of derivatives associated with those counterparties. 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 June 30, 2022, we held cash collateral of $546 million and were not required to post cash 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.
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, 2021 is hereby incorporated by reference.

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.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We continue to monitor and assess the effects of remote work on our internal controls to minimize the impact on their design and operating effectiveness.
