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.~~("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 ~~discussed~~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, ~~this report~~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.

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 ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, ~~and~~ our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and our cash flows for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 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.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, finance receivables and accounts payable ~~approximate~~approximated fair value as of ~~March 31,~~September 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.

For interim unaudited, consolidated financial statement purposes, we provide for accruals under our various company-sponsored employee benefit plans for each three month period based on one quarter of the estimated annual expense.

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 ~~March 31,~~September 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

In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") to enhance the disclosure of supplier finance programs. The update will be effective for us in the first quarter of 2023. We are evaluating the impact of its adoption on our consolidated financial statements and internal control over financial reporting environment, but do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or internal controls.

Other accounting pronouncements issued before, but not effective until after, ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or ~~cash flows.~~internal controls.

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. ~~Additionally, we~~We also provide value-added logistics services to customers, both domestically and internationally, through our global network of ~~company-owned and leased~~ distribution centers and field stocking locations.

~~Disaggregation of Revenue~~

We account for a contract when both parties have approved the contract and are committed to perform their obligations, the rights of the parties are identified, payment terms are identified, the contract has commercial substance and collectability of consideration is probable.

~~Performance Obligations~~

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, and is the basis of revenue recognition in accordance with GAAP. To determine the proper revenue recognition method for contracts, we evaluate whether two or more contracts should be combined and accounted for as a single contract, and whether the combined or single contract should be accounted for as more than one performance obligation. This evaluation requires judgment, and the decision to combine a group of contracts or separate the combined or single contract into multiple performance obligations could change the amount of revenue and profit recorded in a given period.

~~Within most of our contracts, the customer contracts with us to provide distinct services, such as transportation services.~~ The ~~vast~~ majority of our contracts with customers for transportation services include only one performance ~~obligation;~~obligation: the transportation services themselves. However, if a contract is separated into more than one performance obligation, we allocate the total transaction price to each performance obligation based on the estimated relative standalone selling prices of the promised goods or services underlying each performance obligation. We frequently sell standard transportation services with observable standalone sales prices. In these instances, the observable standalone sales are used to determine the standalone selling price.

~~Table of Contents~~

~~UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES~~

~~NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

In certain business units, such as Logistics, we sell customized, customer-specific solutions in which we integrate a complex set of tasks and components into a single capability (even if that single capability results in the delivery of multiple units). Hence, the entire contract is accounted for as one performance obligation. In these cases, we typically use the expected cost plus a margin approach to estimate the standalone selling price of each performance obligation.

~~Satisfaction of Performance Obligations~~

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 customers receive the benefit of our services as the goods are transported from one location to another. Further, if we were unable to complete delivery to the final location, another entity would not need to reperform the transportation service already performed.

As control transfers over time, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The selection of the method to measure progress towards completion requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. We use the cost-to-cost measure of progress for our package delivery contracts because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer which occurs as we incur costs on our contracts. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Revenues, including ancillary or accessorial fees and reductions for estimated customer incentives, are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. Costs to fulfill include labor and other direct costs and an allocation of indirect costs. For our freight forwarding contracts, an output method of progress based on time-in-transit is utilized as the timing of costs incurred does not best depict the transfer of control to the customer. In our Logistics business, we have a right to consideration from customers in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customers of our performance completed to date, and as such, we recognize revenue in the amount to which we have a right to invoice the customer.

~~Variable Consideration~~

It is common for our contracts to contain customer incentives, guaranteed service refunds or other provisions that can either increase or decrease the transaction price. These variable amounts are generally dependent upon achievement of certain incentive tiers or performance metrics. We estimate variable consideration at the most likely amount to which we expect to be entitled. We include estimated amounts of revenue, which may be reduced by incentives or other contract provisions, in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based on an assessment of anticipated customer spending and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us.

~~Contract Modifications~~

Contracts are often modified to account for changes in the rates we charge our customers or to add additional distinct services. We consider contract modifications to exist when the modification either creates new, or changes the existing, enforceable rights and obligations. Contract modifications that add additional distinct goods or services are treated as separate contracts. Contract modifications that do not add distinct goods or services typically change the price of existing services. These contract modifications are accounted for prospectively as the remaining performance obligations are ~~distinct.~~

~~Payment Terms~~

~~Under the typical payment terms~~primarily comprised of our customer contracts, the customer pays at periodic intervals, which are generally seven days within our U.S. Domestic Package business, for shipments included on invoices received. Invoices are generated each week on the week-ending day, which is Saturday for the majority of our U.S. Domestic Package business,transportation services started but ~~could be another day depending on the business unit or the specific agreement with the customer. It is~~ not ~~customary business practice to extend payment terms past 90 days, and~~completed as ~~such, we do not have a practice of including a significant financing component within our contracts with customers.~~

~~UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES~~

~~NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

~~Principal vs. Agent Considerations~~

In our transportation businesses, we utilize independent contractors and third-party carriers in the performance of some transportation services. GAAP requires us to evaluate, using a control model, whether our businesses themselves promise to transfer services to the customer (as the principal) or to arrange for services to be provided by another party (as the agent). Based on our evaluation of the ~~control model,~~reporting date and we ~~determined that all~~expect to complete these remaining performance obligations within a short period of time. All of our major businesses act as ~~the~~a principal ~~rather than the agent within~~in their revenue ~~arrangements. Revenue~~arrangements and as such, we report revenue and the associated purchased transportation costs ~~are both reported~~ on a gross basis within our statements of consolidated income.

~~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 estimateDisaggregation of the current expected losses inherent in our accounts receivable at each balance sheet date. These estimates require 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $136 and $128 million, respectively. Amounts for credit losses charged to expense, before recoveries, during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were $54 and $41 million, respectively.Revenue

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.

Table of Contents

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 ~~$336~~$328 and $304 million as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, net of deferred revenue related to in-transit packages of ~~$359~~$346 and $314 million as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, ~~respectively.

NOTE 4. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

We issue share-based awards under various incentive compensation plans, including non-qualified and incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and stock units ("RSUs") and restricted performance shares and performance units ("RPUs", collectively with RSUs, "Restricted Units"). 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 upon which they are earned.~~Units.

Our primary equity compensation programs are the UPS Management Incentive ~~Award program~~Program (the "MIP"), the UPS Long-Term Incentive Performance ~~Award program~~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 ~~("MIP")~~

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~~and are expensed on a straight-line basis (less estimated forfeitures) over the requisite service ~~period (except in the case~~period. In cases of death, disability or retirement, ~~in which case immediate expensing occurs).~~RPUs vest and are expensed immediately.

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~~Each RPU issued under the MIP ~~were~~was valued ~~for stock compensation expense purposes~~ using the closing New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") prices of $225.07 and $218.56 on those dates.

Long-Term Incentive Performance ~~Award~~ Program ~~("LTIP")~~

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~~Poor's 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~~each target ~~RPUs~~RPU awarded ~~were~~was 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				2022			2021
Risk-free interest rate	Risk-free interest rate	2.29		%	0.19		%	Risk-free interest rate	2.33		%	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. ~~In the first quarter of~~On March 23, 2022, we granted 0.1 million stock options at an exercise price of $214.58, ~~which was~~ the NYSE closing price on ~~the date of grant.~~that date.

During the nine months ended September 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 ~~quarter~~nine months ended ~~March 31, 2022.~~September 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 ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had ~~$828~~$824 and $830 million, respectively, recorded in Other Non-Current Liabilities onin our consolidated balance sheets and $8 million as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 recorded in Other current liabilities onin 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 4140 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 ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was ~~$849~~$668 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.

~~NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

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~~The CSPF has submitted an application for SFA to the ~~PBGC for SFA.~~PBGC. The ~~PBGC has up to 120 days from the date~~application remains under review.

Table of ~~submission to review the application.~~Contents

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~~ that 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. On August 12, 2022, the IPA ratified the two-year contract extension. Terms of the agreement become effective September 1, 2023 and continue in effect through September 1, 2025. The economic provisions in the agreement include pay increases and enhanced pension benefits on substantially similar terms.

We have approximately 1,700 airline mechanics who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement with Teamsters Local ~~2727 which becomes~~2727. On October 17, 2022, the mechanics ratified a contract extension that will make the contract amendable on November 1, ~~2023. In addition, approximately~~2026. The provisions in the extension agreement include pay increases, with most other terms unchanged. 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.

The ~~change in~~ goodwill balances for both International Package and Supply Chain Solutions ~~was primarily~~decreased due to the impact of changes in the value of the U.S. Dollar on the translation of non-U.S. Dollar goodwill balances. In May 2022, we acquired Delivery Solutions, a digital platform that optimizes customer deliveries across multiple networks. The acquisition was funded with cash from operations and was not material to our consolidated financial position or results of operations. The goodwill associated with the acquisition is included within Supply Chain Solutions.

We test goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually at July 1st and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that it is more likely than not that the carrying amount may be impaired. Our annual impairment testing indicated that the fair value of goodwill associated with our recently-acquired Roadie reporting unit remained greater than its carrying value as of our July 1st testing date, although this excess was less than 10 percent.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 ~~March 31,~~September 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 onin our consolidated balance sheets, due to our intent and ability to refinance the debt if the put option is exercised.

Debt Repayments

During the second quarter, 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.

On October 3, 2022, our 2.450% senior notes with a principal balance of $1.0 billion 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 2two 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, ~~plus0.10%~~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 ~~March 31,~~September 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. We expect to renew this credit agreement in the fourth quarter of 2022 on substantially similar terms.

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 ~~March 31,~~September 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~~Poor's 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 0no amounts outstanding under these facilities as of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022.

Debt Covenants

Our existing debt instruments and credit facilities subject us to certain financial covenants. As of ~~March 31,~~September 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 ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, 10% of net tangible assets was equivalent to ~~$4.7~~$4.6 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 ~~$23.3~~$18.9 and $25.1 billion as of ~~March 31,~~September 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 ~~package centers, airport facilities, warehouses, office space,~~real estate, aircraft ~~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. ~~The~~Our remaining lease terms vary from 1 month to 138 years.

Aircraft

In addition to the aircraft that we own, we have leases for ~~317~~310 aircraft. Of these leased aircraft, 2117 are classified as finance leases, 18 are classified as operating leases and the remaining ~~278~~275 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, ~~they~~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.

The components of lease expense for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and 2021 ~~were~~are as follows (in millions):

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 October 2015, the Department of Justice ("DOJ") informed us of an industry-wide inquiry into the transportation of mail under the United States Postal Service International Commercial Air contracts. We cooperated with the DOJ in connection with its inquiry and, in the first quarter of 2022, resolved this matter for an immaterial amount.

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 iswas investigating potential recordkeeping violations of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act at those facilities. We ~~are cooperating~~cooperated with the ~~EPA. An immaterial accrual with respect to~~EPA and resolved 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.for an immaterial amount.

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.

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 2two 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 the 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. ~~Other~~Our other businesses ~~within this segment~~ include The UPS Store, UPS Capital, Roadie and ~~Roadie.~~Delivery Solutions. UPS Freight was included within ~~this segment~~Supply Chain Solutions 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 third quarter or year-to-date periods.

Results of operations for the three and nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and 2021 are as follows (in millions):

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 ~~March 31,~~September 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. Since September 30, 2022, we have entered into foreign currency forward contracts in respect of certain foreign currency-denominated debt in notional amounts of 750 million Canadian Dollars, 1.2 billion Euro and 66 million Pounds Sterling that are not covered by the zero threshold bilateral collateral provisions.

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we held cash collateral of ~~$253~~$1.0 billion 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 ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 ~~we were required to post $2 million of cash collateral with our counterparties. As of~~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.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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.

We hedge our net investment in certain foreign operations with foreign ~~currency denominated~~currency-denominated debt instruments. The use of ~~foreign denominated~~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 ~~accounts~~account remain until the sale or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity, upon which ~~they are recognized~~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.

NOTE 16. INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate ~~for~~decreased to 21.0% in the ~~three months ended March 31, 2022 was approximately 21.5% compared with 22.8%~~third quarter from 22.2% in the same period of ~~2021.~~2021 (21.8% year to date compared to 22.4% in 2021). The recognition in income tax of excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation reduced our effective rate by ~~2.4% for the quarter~~0.8% year to date compared to ~~1.1%~~0.6% in the same period of ~~2021.~~2021 (there was no significant impact in the third quarter of 2022 or 2021). Other items that impacted our effective tax rate in the ~~first~~third quarter ~~of 2022~~ compared to 2021 included ~~unfavorable~~favorable changes in uncertain tax positions and favorable 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 allowance or disallowance of deductions, the timing of ~~interest~~ deductions and the allocation of income and expense between tax jurisdictions. ~~These~~Any 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 ~~quarter~~nine 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 ~~quarter~~nine 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 ~~$55~~$36 million in the ~~first~~third quarter of 2022 compared to ~~$118~~$74 million in the same period of ~~2021.~~2021 ($132 million year to date compared to $308 million in the prior year).

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 ~~quarter~~nine 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.

To accelerate our growth in complex healthcare logistics, during the third quarter we entered into an agreement to acquire Bomi Group, which we expect to close during the fourth quarter. This acquisition will expand our healthcare footprint and bring additional expertise in cold chain logistics.

For the quarter, a number of external factors continued to deploy additional automation to increase productivity, including the introduction of smart facility technology. We also transitioned the two data centers which drive our global integrated network to renewable energy sources during the quarter.

~~During the first quarter, several factors contributed~~contribute to a challenging operating environment, ~~which is expected to persist,~~ including global inflation ~~a surge in~~and rising interest rates, wage and labor market pressures, volatile energy prices, geopolitical uncertainties, and ~~upstream~~foreign currency exchange rates relative to the U.S. Dollar.

Within our International Package segment, volume also declined for both the quarter and year to date primarily due to the factors discussed above, although the rate of decline slowed in the third quarter relative to the first half of the year.

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~~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~~similarly-titled measures reported by other companies.

Adjusted amounts reflect the following (in millions):

~~Changes in~~ Foreign Currency Exchange ~~Rates~~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~~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~~Dollar revenue, revenue per piece and operating profit and the derived current period U.S. ~~dollar~~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 third quarter or year-to-date periods.

Testing goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment requires that we make a number of significant assumptions, including assumptions related to future revenues, costs, capital expenditures, working capital and our cost of capital. We also are required to make assumptions relating to our overall business and operating strategy, and the regulatory and market environment. Changes in any of these assumptions could significantly impact the fair value of any one of our reporting units. The projections that we use in our valuation model are updated annually and will change over time based on the historical performance and changing business conditions for each of our reporting units.

Our annual impairment testing of goodwill indicated that the fair value of our recently-acquired Roadie reporting unit remained greater than its carrying value, although this excess was less than 10 percent. The extent to which fair value exceeds carrying value is impacted by changes in the cost of capital, and our ability to successfully integrate and grow the acquired business. The carrying value of goodwill associated with our Roadie reporting unit is $241 million.

There were no events or changes in circumstances during the third quarter of ~~2022.~~2022 that would indicate the carrying amount of our goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets may be impaired as of the date of this report. However, future actual results, transactions or other events, or changes in estimates or assumptions, whether due to unexpected impacts on our business, our transformation activities, or the continuing evaluation of our business portfolio, could result in an impairment charge to one of our reporting units or to our indefinite-lived intangible assets in a future period.

Business-to-business shipments increased 3.6% in the 2022 period, with growth primarily in our Ground commercial product which was driven by growth from SMB customers as we continued to execute on our strategy. Overall, we anticipate that average daily volume growth in the first half of 2022 will be negative and then improve in the second half of the year.

Business-to-business shipments decreased 0.5% for the quarter but increased 1.8% year to date. For the quarter, the decline was driven by lower manufacturing volume, partially offset by an increase in retail returns. Year to date, growth was driven by our Ground commercial product as discussed below. Overall, we anticipate average daily volume growth will be negative in the fourth quarter.

Within our Ground products, ~~SurePost~~ average daily volume decreased ~~10.5%~~for both the quarter and year to date, as declines in Ground residential volume outpaced gains in Ground commercial volume. Ground residential average daily volume decreased 4.3% for the quarter (down 6.6% year to date), driven by ~~a reduction~~contract terms with certain large customers discussed above. During the third quarter, the decline in Ground residential volume was partially offset by an increase in SurePost shipments from ~~a number of~~both new and existing large ~~customers while~~retail customers.

While fluctuations in fuel surcharges can be significant from period to period, fuel surcharges are only one of the many individual components of our market pricing strategy that impact our overall revenue and yield. Additional components include the mix of services sold, the base price and additional charges for these services and the pricing discounts offered.

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.~~lanes, although we expect these to decrease year over year in the fourth quarter.

Export revenue per piece increased ~~9.6% in~~3.6% for the quarter ~~also~~(up 8.8% year to date) for the reasons described above. Excluding the impact of currency, export revenue per piece increased ~~12.2%~~9.4% for the quarter (up 13.1% year to date).

Domestic revenue per piece ~~was also favorably impacted by~~remained relatively flat for the quarter and year to date, as unfavorable currency movements offset growth from the factors described above. ~~However, this was offset by unfavorable currency movements, which resulted in domestic revenue per piece remaining relatively flat for the quarter.~~ Excluding the impact of currency, domestic revenue per piece increased ~~6.8%~~16.7% for the quarter (up 12.2% year to date).

Fuel Surcharges

The fuel surcharge ~~for~~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.

While fluctuations can be significant from period to period, fuel surcharges represent one of the many individual components of our market pricing strategy that impact our overall revenue and yield. Additional components include the mix of services sold, the base price, extra service charges and any pricing discounts offered.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses, and operating expenses excluding the year-over-year impact of transformation and other charges, increased in both the ~~first quarter.~~third quarter and year to date. The increase for the year-to-date period includes the impact of one additional operating day. The costs of operating our integrated international air and ground network increased ~~$295~~$343 million for the quarter (up $1.1 billion year to date), primarily due to higher fuel prices, which we expect to persist ~~through~~during the remainder of 2022.

In addition to variability in usage, market prices and fuel costs passed on to us by third-party transportation providers, the manner in which we purchase fuel also influences the net impact of costs on our results. The majority of our contracts for fuel purchases utilize index-based pricing formulas plus or minus a fixed locational/supplier differential. While many of the indices are aligned, each index may fluctuate at a different pace, driving variability in the prices paid for fuel. Because of this, our operating results may be affected should the market price of fuel suddenly change by a significant amount or change by amounts that do not result in an adjustment in our fuel surcharges, which can significantly affect our earnings either positively or negatively in the short-term.

Pickup and delivery costs decreased ~~$38~~$86 million ~~primarily due~~for the quarter (down $237 million year to ~~volume declines in the first quarter discussed above. Other~~date), other indirect costs ~~also~~ decreased $67 million for the quarter (down $171 million year ~~over year, while~~to date) and package sorting costs ~~remained relatively flat.~~decreased slightly for the quarter and year to date as inflationary pressures were more than offset by favorable currency movements and volume declines. We expect inflationary pressures will persist for the remainder of the year.

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.

Revenue

Total revenue for Supply Chain Solutions ~~increased $87~~decreased $268 million in the third quarter (down $152 million year to date) as ~~strong~~lower revenue in forwarding and truckload brokerage more than offset growth across many of our ~~businesses~~other businesses. Year to date, growth in Supply Chain Solutions was ~~largely~~ offset by ~~a $767 million decrease~~the impact of divesting UPS Freight in ~~revenue attributable to~~ the second quarter ~~2021 divestiture~~ of ~~UPS Freight.~~

Forwarding revenue increased in the first quarter. In our international air freight business, revenue growth was driven by ongoing demand-related surcharges and elevated market rates, slightly offset by a reduction in Asia export volume. We anticipate that rates may moderate during the year as capacity returns to the market. Ocean freight forwarding revenue increased as market rates remained elevated, while volume declined slightly. We expect ocean rates to moderate below 2021 peak levels later in 2022. Revenue in our truckload brokerage business increased $146 million, which was primarily driven by revenue quality initiatives, slightly offset by a reduction in volume of approximately 10%.2021.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forwarding revenue decreased for the third quarter but increased year to date:

•International airfreight volume and revenue declined in the third quarter, driven by the impact of lockdowns in Asia, lower customer demand and the market rates we charge for services. Year-to-date volume also declined but was fully offset by the impact of elevated market rates and demand-related surcharges in the first quarter.

•Ocean freight forwarding revenue decreased in the third quarter but increased year to date. For the quarter, the declines were driven by lower volume, particularly on the Asia to U.S. lane, and lower market rates. Year to date, these declines were fully offset by elevated market rates driven by market capacity constraints in the first half of 2022.

•Revenue in our truckload brokerage business declined for the quarter and remained relatively flat year to date. The decline in the third quarter was driven by lower volumes and a reduction in market rates. Year to date, volume declines were largely offset by increases in rates as we executed within our strategic framework.

We expect that the market rates we charge for services within all our Forwarding businesses will remain lower during the fourth quarter.

Within Logistics, our healthcare operations experienced strong ~~business~~revenue growth infor both the ~~first~~ quarter and year to date, driven by pharmaceuticals, clinical trials and lab customers. Revenue in our mail services business increased ~~slightly due~~for both the quarter and year to date, driven by rate increases, ~~and~~ a favorable shift in product characteristics ~~which~~and, during the third quarter, volume from new customers. These increases were ~~somewhat~~slightly offset by ~~lower volumes.~~volume declines in both periods. Our other distribution operations experienced ~~year-over-year~~ revenue ~~increases,~~growth for both the quarter and year to date, driven by ~~business growth, service~~customer expansion, revenue quality initiatives and ~~higher~~strong demand for ~~warehouse space.~~warehousing services. We expect growth to continue within our Logistics businesses in the fourth quarter.

Revenue from the other businesses within Supply Chain Solutions increased for both the quarter and year to date, driven by rate increases and additional volume from service contracts with the U.S. Postal Service, and from the acquisition of Roadie in the fourth quarter of 2021. Additionally, revenue for services provided to the acquirer of UPS Freight under certain transition services agreements increased for the ~~acquisition of Roadie, Inc. and business growth in UPS Capital.~~year-to-date period.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses in Supply Chain Solutions, ~~decreased slightly in the first quarter, which included a decrease of $784 million from the divestiture of UPS Freight. Operating~~and operating expenses excluding the year-over-year impact of transformation and other charges, ~~were relatively unchanged.~~decreased for the quarter and year to date. This included a decrease of $952 million in the year-to-date period due to the divestiture of UPS Freight in the second quarter of 2021.

Forwarding operating expenses ~~increased $392~~decreased $462 million for the quarter (down $120 million year to date). Declines in the third quarter were driven by ~~an increase~~a reduction in purchased transportation ~~expense. This increase was primarily due to higher fuel costs~~expense resulting from lower volumes and ~~capacity constraints driving higher~~market rates in ~~our~~truckload brokerage, international airfreight and ocean freight forwarding. Year to date, these decreases were partially offset by elevated rates in all our forwarding ~~and truckload brokerage businesses. We expect these rates to moderate~~businesses during the first of half of 2022.

Logistics operating expenses increased ~~$126~~$124 million ~~driven by higher purchased transportation costs due~~for the quarter (up $359 million year to ~~business growth in our healthcare operations and carrier rate~~date) primarily resulting from increases in ~~mail services. Business growth also resulted in higher~~ compensation and benefits ~~expense within our healthcare operations, while market wage pressures drove increased compensation~~expenses and third-party transportation costs ~~in mail services. We anticipate that~~as a ~~tight labor market~~result of business growth and ~~inflation may result in higher compensation costs throughout the remainder of 2022.~~inflationary pressures.

~~Expense~~Expenses in the other businesses within Supply Chain Solutions increased for the quarter and year to date, largely ~~due to transportation~~driven by increased volume from the U.S. Postal Service and the acquisition of Roadie.

Operating Profit and Margin

As a result of the factors described above, operating profit increased ~~$152~~$12 million infor the ~~first~~ quarter (up $170 million year to date), with operating margin increasing ~~330~~100 basis points to ~~10.8%~~11.3% (up 150 basis points to 11.4% year to date).

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 ~~first~~ quarter ~~of 2022~~and year-to-date periods due to the timing of scheduled maintenance events. ~~This increase was partially offset by a reduction in routine repairs and maintenance for our buildings and facilities.~~

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Fuel

The increase in fuel expense for both the quarter and year-to-date periods was primarily driven by higher prices for jet fuel, diesel and gasoline. Market prices and the manner in which we purchase fuel influence 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 the following:~~of:

•~~Hosted software application fees and other technology costs increased $31 million.~~An increase of $45 million for the quarter ($115 million increase year to date) in commissions paid for certain online shipments.

•~~The cost~~An increase of ~~goods provided under transitional service agreements~~$38 million for the quarter ($61 million increase year to ~~the acquirer of UPS Freight was $28 million. There was no similar cost~~date) in ~~the 2021 period.~~

•~~Auto~~self-insured automobile liability ~~insurance increased $22 million,~~expense, driven by increases in the frequency and severity of claims.

•Hosted software application fees and other technology costs increased $26 million in the quarter (up $78 million year to date), in support of ongoing investments in our digital transformation.

•Professional fees increased $34 million in the quarter (up $57 million year to date) as a result of an increase in services provided to various business units.

Other increases for the quarter and year to date included ~~airline operational~~employee-related expenses, ~~third-party commissions,~~ payment processing fees and ~~an increase in~~costs to lease and purchase additional vehicles for our ~~allowance for credit losses.~~

Investment Income and Other

Investment income and other increased $59 million for the quarter, driven by higher yields on higher average invested balances, changes in the fair value of certain non-current investments and an increase in other pension income partially offset by foreign currency losses.

Year to date, investment income and other decreased $3.3 ~~billion.~~billion due to year-over-year changes in defined benefit plan adjustments. We recognized a curtailment gain of $33 million dollars in 2022, compared to a $3.3 billion ~~defined benefit plan~~ mark-to-market gain in ~~the first quarter of 2021 and a $33 million defined benefit plan curtailment gain in the first quarter of 2022.~~2021.

Other pension income ~~decreased~~increased $12 million for the quarter (down $7 million year to date) due to the following:

•~~Expected~~Lower expected returns on pension assets ~~decreased~~for the quarter and year-to-date periods as a result of a reduction in our rate of return assumption, partially o~~ffset~~offset by a higher asset base due to contributions and positive asset returns in 2021.

Interest cost increased year to date, due to the impact of interim remeasurements of certain plans in 2021 on pension benefit obligations and ~~changes in demographic assumptions.~~discount rates.

•Prior service cost decreased for the quarter and year-to-date periods as the cost base from certain plan amendments became fully amortized during 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, we had ~~$12.5~~$11.4 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 ~~$51~~$989 million for the 2022 period, primarily due to:

•Higher contributions to our company-sponsored pension and U.S. postretirement medical benefit plans, driven by $1.9 billion in ~~the first quarter, and was impacted by the following:~~discretionary contributions to our qualified U.S. pension plans. There were no discretionary contributions to these plans in 2021.

•An ~~increase~~unfavorable change in working capital, driven by the timing of payroll and other ~~compensation-related items.~~compensation items and vendor payments, as well as the settlement of duties and taxes on behalf of our customers.

•A ~~decrease~~reduction in ~~contributions~~income taxes payable due to ~~our company-sponsored pension and U.S. postretirement medical benefit plans, which totaled $45 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to $215 million in 2021. The reduction was driven by~~ the timing of ~~contributions~~tax payments relative to ~~our U.S. postretirement medical plan.~~accruals.

•~~A decrease~~These impacts were partially offset by an increase in our net hedge margin collateral position ~~of $94 million~~ due to favorable 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 ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and 2021, suppliers sold them ~~$509~~$690 and ~~$343~~$462 million, respectively, of our outstanding payment obligations. Amounts due to suppliers that participate in the SCF program may be reflected incash 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 ~~$308~~$1.3 billion and ~~$267~~$953 million for the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, approximately ~~$3.4~~$3.3 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~~$5.0 billion in 2022, of which approximately 6050 percent will be allocated to expansion projects.

We repurchased ~~1.2~~11.6 and 2.6 million shares of class B common stock for ~~$260~~$2.2 billion and $500 million under our stock repurchase program during the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 ($254 million in repurchases are reported on the statements of consolidated cash flows due to the timing of settlements). We did not repurchase any shares under this program during the three months ended March 31, 2021.and 2021, respectively. We anticipate our share repurchases will total ~~approximately $2.0~~at least $3.0 billion for all of 2022. For additional information on our share repurchase activities, see note 12 to the unaudited, consolidated financial statements.

~~In the first quarter of 2022, we declared a~~We increased our quarterly cash dividend ofto $1.52 per ~~share.~~share in 2022, compared to $1.02 in 2021.

Repayments of debt ~~during the first quarter of 2022 were related to~~included our $600 million 2.350% senior notes, our $400 million floating rate senior notes and scheduled principal payments on our finance lease obligations.

We repaid these notes at maturity in October 2022 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 ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and 2021, we had no outstanding balances under our commercial paper programs.

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):


		March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021			September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Currency Derivatives	Currency Derivatives	$	224	$	173	Currency Derivatives	$	892	$	173

Interest Rate Derivatives	Interest Rate Derivatives	(5)		1		Interest Rate Derivatives	(5)		1

		$	219	$	174		$	887	$	174

As of ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had no outstanding commodity hedge positions.

Our market risks, hedging strategies and financial instrument positions as of ~~March 31,~~September 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 ~~remaining~~ fair value changes between December 31, 2021 and ~~March 31,~~September 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 ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022, we held cash collateral of ~~$253 million~~$1.0 billion and were not required to post cash collateral ~~of $2 million~~ 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 herein 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 ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We have not experienced any material impact to our internal controls over financial reporting despite the fact that our employees continue to work remotely. As previously disclosed, in recent periods we have enhanced our oversight and monitoring during the closing and reporting processes and 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.

Item 1.Legal Proceedings

For a discussion of material legal proceedings affecting the Company, see note 11 to the unaudited, consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Item 1A.Risk Factors

~~Except as set forth below, there~~There have been no material changes to the risk factors described in Part 1, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2021.~~2021 and Part II, Item 1A in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The ~~following risk factor corrects and supersedes~~occurrence of any of the ~~risk factor entitled “Global climate change presents challenges to~~risks described therein could materially affect us, including impacting our business, ~~which could materially adversely affect us,” and is being restated solely to correct an inadvertent typographical error contained in~~financial condition, results of operations, stock price or credit rating, as well as our reputation. These risks are not the ~~originally presented risk factor.~~

~~Global climate change presents challenges to our business which could materially adversely affect us.~~

The effects of climate change create financial and operational risks to our business, both directly and indirectly. We have made several public statements regarding our intended reduction of carbon emissions, including our goal to achieve carbon neutrality in our global operations by 2050, and our other short- and mid-term environmental sustainability goals. We may be required to expend significant additional resources to acquire assets or on remediation efforts to meet these goals, which could significantly increase our operational costs.only ones we face. We could also be ~~required~~materially adversely affected by other events, factors or uncertainties that are unknown to ~~write down the carrying value of assets, which could result in impairment charges.~~

~~Further, there can be no assurance of the extent to which any of our goals will be achieved,~~us, or that any future investments we make will meet investor expectations or any legal standards regarding sustainability performance. In particular, our ability to meet our goals depends in part on significant technological advancements with respect to the development and availability of reliable, affordable and sustainable alternative solutions, including aviation fuel and alternative fuel vehicles. Moreover, we may determine that it is in our best interests to prioritize other business, social, governance or sustainable investments over the achievement of our current goals based on economic, regulatory or social factors, business strategy or other factors. If we do not ~~meet these goals, then, in addition~~currently consider to regulatory and legal risks related to compliance, we could incur adverse publicity and reaction, which could adversely impact our reputation, and in turn adversely impact our results of operations. While we remain committed to being responsive to climate change and reducing our carbon footprint, there can be no assurance that our goals and strategic plans to achieve those goals will be successful, that the costs related to climate transition will not be higher than expected, that the necessary technological advancements will occur in the timeframe we expect, or at all, or that proposed regulation or deregulation related to climate change will not have a negative competitive impact, any one of which could have a material adverse effect on our capital expenditures, operating margins and results of operations.material.
