Segmento internacional

“The execution of our diversified global strategies and our investments produced double-digit growth in revenue and profit,” said Abney. “Each of our International regions is contributing to our financial gains, and we expect this strong momentum to continue.”

Perspectiva

A empresa divulga um plano em base ajustada (não GAAP), pois não é possível prever ou fornecer uma conciliação que reflita o impacto de futuros ajustes de pensão a valor de mercado ou outros acontecimentos não previstos, os quais seriam incluídos em resultados relatados (GAAP) e poderiam ter um impacto importante.

“Our focused business strategies are producing strong results in both the International and Supply Chain segments,” said Richard Peretz, UPS’s chief financial officer. “The benefits from our investments, new multi-year transformation efficiencies and stronger pricing position us well for shareowner value creation.”

  • UPS expects 2018 adjusted diluted earnings per share to be in a range of $7.03 to $7.37.
  • The company projects free cash flow of $4.5 billion to $5.0 billion in 2018.
  • The effective tax rate should be in a range of 23% to 24% for the remainder of the year.
  • Capital expenditures in 2018 are planned between $6.5 billion to $7.0 billion.

Declarações prospectivas

Except for historical information contained herein, the statements made in this release constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of UPS and its management regarding the company's strategic directions, prospects and future results, involve certain risks and uncertainties.

Certain factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements, including economic and other conditions in the markets in which we operate, governmental regulations (including tax laws and regulations), our competitive environment, changes in the facts or assumptions underlying our health and pension benefit funding obligations, negotiation and ratification of labor contracts, strikes, work stoppages and slowdowns, changes in aviation and motor fuel prices, cyclical and seasonal fluctuations in our operating results, and other risks discussed in the company's Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which discussions are incorporated herein by reference.

Conciliação de medidas financeiras GAAP e não GAAP

We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") with certain non-GAAP financial measures, including, as applicable, "as adjusted" operating profit, operating margin, other income (expense), pre-tax income, net income and earnings per share. As medidas equivalentes determinadas de acordo com as normas GAAP também são chamadas de “declaradas” ou “não ajustadas”. Additionally, we periodically disclose free cash flow, free cash flow excluding discretionary pension contributions, as well as currency-neutral revenue, revenue per piece and operating profit.

We consider quantitative and qualitative factors in assessing whether to adjust for the impact of items that may be significant or that could affect an understanding of our ongoing financial and business performance or trends. Examples of items for which we may make adjustments include but are not limited to: amounts related to mark-to-market gains or losses (non-cash); settlement of contingencies; gains or losses associated with mergers, acquisitions, divestitures and other structural changes; charges related to restructuring programs; asset impairments (non-cash); amounts related to changes in tax regulations or positions; pension and postretirement related items; and debt modifications.

We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide additional meaningful information to assist users of our financial statements in understanding our financial results, cash flows 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. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions. We also use certain of these measures for the determination of incentive compensation award results.

Recomenda-se que as medidas financeiras não GAAP sejam consideradas um complemento, e não uma alternativa, aos resultados declarados preparados de acordo com as normas GAAP. Nossas informações financeiras não GAAP não representam uma base abrangente de contabilidade. Portanto, nossas informações financeiras não GAAP podem não ser comparáveis a medidas com títulos semelhantes declaradas por outras empresas.

Currency-Neutral Revenue, Revenue per Piece and Operating Profit

We supplement the reporting of our revenue, revenue per piece and operating profit with similar non-GAAP measures that exclude the period-over-period impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes and hedging activities. Acreditamos que as informações de receita em moeda neutra, receita por peça e lucro operacional permitem que os usuários de nossas demonstrações financeiras compreendam as tendências de crescimento dos nossos produtos e resultados. We evaluate the performance of our International Package and Supply Chain and Freight businesses on a currency-neutral basis.

A receita, a receita por peça e o lucro operacional com base cambial neutra, são calculados dividindo-se a receita, a receita por peça e o lucro operacional do período atual em dólares americanos pelas taxas de câmbio médias do período atual, a fim de derivar a receita, a receita por peça e o lucro operacional do período atual em moeda local. The derived current period local currency revenue, revenue per piece and operating profit are then multiplied by the average foreign 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 revenue hedging activities). A diferença entre a receita, a receita por peça e o lucro operacional do período atual declarados em dólares americanos e a receita, a receita por peça e o lucro operacional do período atual derivados em dólares americanos representa o impacto de flutuações cambiais em relação ao mesmo período do exercício anterior.

Fluxo de caixa livre

We supplement the reporting of cash flows from operating activities with free cash flow, a non-GAAP liquidity measure. We believe free cash flow is an important indicator of how much cash is generated by regular business operations and we use it as a measure of incremental cash available to invest in our business, meet our debt obligations and return cash to shareowners. Calculamos o fluxo de caixa livre como os fluxos de caixa das atividades operacionais menos as despesas de capital, os proventos das alienações de propriedades, plantas e equipamentos, e mais ou menos as variações líquidas de contas a receber financeiras e outras atividades de investimento.
