Cautionary Statement About Forward-Looking Statements

This report, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission contain and in the future may contain "forward-looking statements." 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.

From time to time, we also include written or oral forward-looking statements in other publicly disclosed materials. Such statements may relate to our intent, belief, forecasts of, or current expectations about our strategic direction, prospects, future results, or future events; they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made. However, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements because such statements speak only as of the date when made and the future, by its very nature, cannot be predicted with certainty.

Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or anticipated results. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: changes in general economic conditions in the U.S. or internationally, including as a result of changes in global trade policy, new or increased tariffs, government shutdowns, or geopolitical uncertainty, tensions and/or conflicts in or arising from various countries and regions, including the European Union, Ukraine, the Russian Federation, the Middle East and the Trans-Pacific region; significant competition on a local, regional, national and international basis; changes in our relationships with our significant customers; our ability to attract and retain qualified employees; strikes, work stoppages or slowdowns by our employees; increased or more complex physical or operational security requirements; a significant cybersecurity incident, or increased data protection regulations; our ability to maintain our brand image and corporate reputation; impacts from global climate change; interruptions in or impacts on our business from natural or man-made events or disasters including terrorist attacks, epidemics or pandemics; exposure to changing economic, political, regulatory and social developments in international and emerging markets; our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures or strategic alliances; the effects of changing prices of energy, including gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and other fuels, and interruptions in supplies of these commodities; changes in exchange rates or interest rates; our ability to accurately forecast our future capital investment needs; increases in our expenses or funding obligations relating to employee health, retiree health and/or pension benefits; our ability to manage insurance and claims expenses; changes in business strategy, government regulations or economic or market conditions that may result in impairments of our assets; potential additional U.S. or international tax liabilities; increasingly stringent regulations related to climate change; potential claims or litigation related to labor and employment, personal injury, property damage, business practices, environmental liability and other matters; and other risks discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 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.

The Company routinely posts important information, including news releases, announcements, materials provided or displayed at analyst or investor conferences, and other statements about its business and results of operations, that may be deemed material to investors on the Company’s Investors Relations website at www.investors.ups.com. The Company uses its website as a means of disclosing material, nonpublic information and for complying with the Company’s disclosure obligations under Regulation FD. Investors should monitor the Company’s Investor Relations website in addition to following the Company’s press releases, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, public conference calls and webcasts.

Overview

During the second quarter of 2026, we took several steps in furtherance of our Customer First, People Led and Innovation Driven strategy to grow in the most attractive parts of the market including healthcare, small and medium-sized businesses ("SMBs") and international. This included completing the planned reduction of volume from our largest customer, as previously announced, in which we reduced their volume by more than 50% from 2024 levels. We also continued our focus on revenue quality and made progress on previously announced initiatives related to workforce optimization, network capacity actions and the outsourcing of last-mile delivery of a portion of our Ground Saver product to the United States Postal Service ("USPS").

We also advanced our Network of the Future initiative, which is intended to enhance the efficiency of our U.S. Domestic Package network through automation and operational sort consolidation. Our related Network Reconfiguration initiative expanded our Network of the Future initiative, and has led, and will continue to lead, to further consolidations in facilities, vehicles, aircraft and workforce, as well as an end-to-end process redesign. We launched our Efficiency Reimagined initiatives to undertake the end-to-end process redesign effort which will align our organizational processes to the network reconfiguration. As a part of these initiatives, in the first half of 2026, we closed 45 leased and owned buildings, 44 of which have been permanently closed, and recorded approximately $1.1 billion in separation costs related to our previously announced voluntary separation program, the Driver Choice Program. See Supplemental Information - Items Affecting Comparability for additional discussion of this initiative.

In the first half of 2026, we also advanced a number of initiatives that drove growth in healthcare and international markets, including the integration of Andlauer Healthcare Group ("AHG"), which expanded our healthcare logistics network and capabilities, and investments in temperature-controlled cross-dock facilities. Internationally, we expanded our hub in Incheon, South Korea, opened a logistics center in Taiwan and implemented initiatives to improve ground transit times in Europe.

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 ("SCS").

Our financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 reflected the impact of a complex macroeconomic environment, including evolving trade policies, higher fuel and network costs arising from the Middle East conflict, as well as the impact of our strategic actions described above.

In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling invalidating certain tariffs previously imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA"). UPS has filed and received U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") approval for approximately $500 million of IEEPA tariffs paid for entries eligible for refund. For additional information on tariffs, see note 10 to the unaudited, consolidated financial statements included in this report.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Highlights of our consolidated results compared to our results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, which are discussed in more detail below, include:

• All of our segments contributed to revenue growth during the quarter and year-to-date periods of 2026.

• Revenue increased in both the quarter and year-to-date periods due to higher fuel surcharge revenue, benefits from our focus on revenue quality and higher yielding volume, as well as the impact of the AHG acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2025, partially offset by lower revenue associated with average daily volume declines and decreases in our Mail Innovations volume.

• Average daily package volume in our global small package operations decreased in both the quarter and year-to-date periods primarily due to planned reduction in volume from our largest customer, revenue quality actions, including those affecting certain e-commerce customers, and the impact of trade policy changes on certain international trade lanes. These declines were partially offset by continued growth from SMBs who leveraged our Digital Access Program ("DAP").

• Operating expenses increased during the quarter and year-to-date periods, primarily due to employee separation costs related to the Driver Choice Program and excess operational staffing in the first quarter of 2026 associated with outsourcing our Ground Saver product. Expe
