ATLANTA – 2024 年 10 月 24 日 – UPS (NYSE:UPS) today announced third-quarter 2024 consolidated revenues of $22.2 billion, a 5.6% increase from the third quarter of 2023. Consolidated operating profit was $2.0 billion, up 47.8% compared to the third quarter of 2023, and up 22.8% on a non-GAAP adjusted basis. Diluted earnings per share were $1.80 for the quarter; non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share were $1.76, 12.1% above the same period in 2023.

For the third quarter of 2024, GAAP results include an after-tax net benefit of $36 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, comprised of a $152 million gain resulting from the divestiture of the Coyote Logistics business net of transformation strategy costs of $116 million.

“I want to thank all UPSers for their hard work and efforts. After a challenging 18-month period, our company returned to revenue and profit growth,” said Carol Tomé, UPS chief executive officer. “Peak season is nearly upon us, and we are ready to deliver another successful holiday season and continue the progress we demonstrated in the third quarter.”

• Revenue increased 8.0%, due primarily to growth in air and ocean forwarding and the continued onboarding of USPS air cargo.
• Operating margin was 8.5%; non-GAAP adjusted operating margin was 6.4%.

2024 年展望

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

In the third quarter, the company completed the disposition of Coyote Logistics. The expected revenue and profits associated with this business had been included in the company’s previously provided revenue and operating margin targets. For full-year 2024, UPS updates its consolidated revenue and operating margin targets, reflecting actual third-quarter results, the impact of the completed Coyote disposition and the company’s outlook for the fourth quarter.

• Consolidated revenue expected to be approximately $91.1 billion
• Lifts consolidated non-GAAP adjusted operating margin expectation to approximately 9.6%
• 資本支出大約 40 億美元
• Dividend payments expected to be around $5.4 billion, subject to Board approval

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

Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Adjusted Financial Measures

We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") with certain non-GAAP adjusted financial measures. Management views and evaluates business performance on both a GAAP basis and by excluding costs and benefits associated with these non-GAAP adjusted financial measures. As a result, we believe the presentation of these non-GAAP adjusted financial measures better enables users of our financial information to view and evaluate underlying business performance from the same perspective as management.

Non-GAAP adjusted financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not as an alternative for, our reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our non-GAAP adjusted financial measures do not represent a comprehensive basis of accounting and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Adjusted Financial Metrics

在不時提出我們的預測性非 GAAP 指標時，由於任何調整（這些調整在任何時期內都可能是重大調整）的時機、數量或性質的不確定性，我們無法向最密切相關的 GAAP 指標提供定量對帳。

國際監管事務的一次性付款

We supplement the presentation of operating profit, operating margin, interest expense, total other income (expense), income before income taxes, net income and earnings per share with non-GAAP measures that exclude the impact of a second quarter of 2024 one-time payment of $94 million of previously restricted cash to settle a previously-disclosed challenge by Italian tax authorities to the deductibility of Value Added Tax payments by UPS to certain third-party service providers, a review of which was launched in the fourth quarter of 2023. We do not believe this is a component of our ongoing operations and we do not expect this or similar payments to recur.

Expense for Regulatory Matter

We supplement the presentation of operating profit, operating margin, interest expense, total other income (expense), income before income taxes, net income and earnings per share with non-GAAP measures that exclude the impact of an accrual for a regulatory matter that we consider to be unrelated to our ongoing operations and that we do not expect to recur.

Transformation Strategy Costs

We supplement the presentation of operating profit, operating margin, income before income taxes, net income and earnings per share with non-GAAP measures that exclude the impact of charges related to activities within our transformation strategy. Our transformation activities have spanned several years to fundamentally change the spans and layers of our organization structure, processes, technologies and the composition of our business portfolio. While earlier stages of these transformation activities were complete in 2023 (Transformation 1.0), certain systems implementations and portfolio review activities (Transformation 2.0) are ongoing and expected to continue through 2025. We previously announced initiatives under Fit to Serve to right-size our business through a workforce reduction of approximately 12,000 positions throughout 2024 and create a more efficient operating model to enhance responsiveness to changing market dynamics. We are evaluating the scope of Fit to Serve. Various circumstances have precipitated these initiatives, including identification and prioritization of investments as a result of executive leadership changes, developments and changes in competitive landscapes, inflationary pressures, consumer behaviors, and other factors including post-COVID normalization and volume diversions attributed to our 2023 labor negotiations. We do not consider the related costs to be ordinary because each initiative and project involves separate and distinct activities that may span multiple periods and are not expected to drive incremental revenue, and because the scope of the initiatives exceeded that of routine, ongoing efforts to enhance profitability. These initiatives are in addition to ordinary, ongoing efforts to enhance business performance.

Goodwill and Asset Impairments

We supplement the presentation of operating profit, operating margin, income before income taxes, net income and earnings per share with non-GAAP measures that exclude the impact of goodwill and asset impairment charges. We do not consider these charges when evaluating the operating performance of our business units, making decisions to allocate resources or in determining incentive compensation awards.

Gains and Losses Related to Divestitures

We supplement the presentation of operating profit, operating margin, income before income taxes, net income and earnings per share with non-GAAP measures that exclude the impact of gains (or losses) related to the divestiture of businesses. We do not consider these transactions when evaluating the operating performance of our business units, making decisions to allocate resources or in determining incentive compensation awards.

一次性補償金

We supplement the presentation of operating profit, operating margin, income before income taxes, net income and earnings per share with non-GAAP measures that exclude the impact of a one-time payment made to certain U.S.-based, non-union part-time supervisors following the ratification of our labor agreement with the Teamsters in 2023. 我們預計此類或類似付款不會再次發生。

Non-GAAP Adjusted Cost per Piece

We evaluate the efficiency of our operations using various metrics, including non-GAAP adjusted cost per piece. Non-GAAP adjusted cost per piece is calculated as non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses in a period divided by total volume for that period. Because non-GAAP adjusted operating expenses exclude costs or charges that we do not consider a part of underlying business performance when monitoring and evaluating the operating performance of our business units, making decisions to allocate resources or in determining incentive compensation awards, we believe this is the appropriate metric on which to base reviews and evaluations of the efficiency of our operational performance.

固定福利退休金和退休後醫療計劃損益

我們認可計劃資產的公允價值變動及超出 10% 幅度的保險統計損益（定義為計劃資產公允價值或計劃的預測給付義務之間取較大者的 10%），以及計劃縮減和解決導致的損益，因為我們的退休金和退休後固定福利計劃直接定義為投資收入（費用）及合併收入報表中其他專案的一部分。我們以調整後的指標補充所得稅前收入、淨收入和每股收益，這些指標不包括這些損益和相關所得稅的影響。我們認為，排除這些固定福利養老金和退休後計劃的損益，可以消除與計劃修訂以及市場利率、股權價值和類似因素的短期變化相關的波動性，從而提供重要的補充資訊。

自由現金流

我們計算自由現金流的方式如下：營業活動的現金流減去資本支出、處理財產、廠房及設備所得款項，再加上或減去其他投資活動的淨變。我們認為自由現金流為持續經營活動所產生之現金量的重要指標，我們會用其來估量可用於投資我們的業務、履行我們的債務及向股東返還現金之增量現金。
