NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying interim unaudited, consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. These interim unaudited, consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly our financial position as of March 31, 20222023 and our results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 20222023 and 2021.2022. 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, 2021.2022.
During the first quarter of 2023, we reclassified certain operating expenses to better align with the manner in which we manage our operations. Substantially all of these costs were previously classified within operating expenses as Other expenses and have now been classified within operating expenses as Repairs and maintenance in the statements of consolidated income. The remaining line items within operating expenses impacted by this reclassification were inconsequential. As a result, the statements of consolidated income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 give effect to this reclassification by decreasing Other expenses by $88 and $77 million, respectively, and increasing Repairs and maintenance by $83 and $75 million, respectively. The reclassification had no impact on our reported revenue, operating profit, net income, or any internal performance measure on which management is compensated.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, finance receivables and accounts payable approximateapproximated fair value as of March 31, 20222023 and December 31, 2021.2022. The fair values of our investmentmarketable 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.

Supplier Finance Programs
As part of our working capital management, certain financial statement purposes, we provide for accruals underinstitutions offer a Supply Chain Finance ("SCF") program to certain of our various company-sponsored employee benefit plans for each three month periodsuppliers. 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 one quarterthe 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 estimated annual expense.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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, suppliers sold them $628 and $806 million, respectively, of our outstanding payment obligations.

NOTE 2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Adoption of New Accounting Standards
In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") to enhance the disclosure of supplier finance programs. This ASU did not affect the recognition, measurement or financial statement presentation of obligations covered by supplier finance programs. We adopted the requirements of this ASU as of January 1, 2023 and have included required disclosures within note 1.
Other 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, 2021, refer to note 1 to our audited, consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective
Accounting pronouncements issued before, but not effective until after, March 31, 2022,2023, are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or cash flows.internal controls.

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 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.

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 are for transportation services that include only one performance 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.

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 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, 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 as such, we do not have a practice of including a significant financing component within our contracts with customers.

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, we determined that allcontract. All of our major businesses act as thea principal rather than the agent withinin their revenue arrangements. Revenuearrangements 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,shipments, as we have an unconditional right to payment only once all performance obligationswhen services have been completed (i.e. packagesshipments have been delivered) and our right to payment is not solely based on the passage of time.. Amounts maydo 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.
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 paymentamount 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.

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 programProgram (the "MIP"), the UPS Long-Term Incentive Performance Award programProgram (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
Pre-tax compensation expense for share-based awards recognized in sharesCompensation and benefits in the statements of UPS class A common stock.consolidated income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $126 and $386 million, respectively.

RPUs issued under the MIP vestprior to 2022 vested 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 isand were expensed on a straight-line basis (less estimated forfeitures) over the requisite service period (except in the caseperiod. In cases of death, disability or retirement, RPUs vested and were expensed immediately.
On November 2, 2022, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee of the UPS Board of Directors (the "Compensation Committee") amended and restated the terms and conditions of the MIP effective January 1, 2023, such that awards earned will be fully electable in which case immediate expensing occurs).the form of cash or unrestricted shares of class A common stock. The terms and conditions governing the 2022 MIP were also amended and restated to fully vest RPUs to be issued in connection therewith as of December 31, 2022. As a result, the award was classified as a compensation obligation and recorded in Accrued wages and withholdings on the consolidated balance sheet at that date.
Based on the date of Compensation CommitteeCommittee's approval of the 20212022 MIP, award, we determined the award measurement datesdate to be February 9, 2022 (for8, 2023 for U.S.-based employees and executive management)management, and March 21, 2022 (for20, 2023 for international employees). The RPUsemployees. Each RPU issued under the MIP werewas valued for stock compensation expense purposes using the closing New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") prices of $225.07$186.36 and $218.56$183.49 on those dates. The compensation obligation recognized as of December 31, 2022 was relieved and the issuance of RPUs was recorded as Additional Paid-in Capital on the measurement date.
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 & PoorsPoor'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 CommitteeCommittee's approval of the 20222023 LTIP award performance targets, we determined March 23, 202222, 2023 to be the award measurement date and theeach target RPUsRPU awarded werewas valued at $230.67.

During the first quarter of 2022, we amended the UPS Canada Ltd. Retirement Plan to cease future benefit accruals effective December 31, 2023. We remeasured plan assets and pension benefit obligations for this plan, as of March 31, 2022, resultingwhich resulted in a curtailment gain of $33 million ($24 million after-tax). during the three-month period. The gain is included in Investment income and other in the statementsstatement of consolidated income for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.income.
During the first three monthsquarter of 2022,2023, we contributed $31$1.2 billion and $14$74 million to our company-sponsored pension and U.S. postretirement medical benefit plans, respectively. We expect to contribute approximately $2.0 billion$78 and $264$44 million over the remainder of the year to our pension and U.S. postretirement medical benefit plans, respectively.
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, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, we had $828$819 and $830$821 million, respectively, recorded in Other Non-Current Liabilities onin our consolidated balance sheets and $8 million as of March 31, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022 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, 20222023 and December 31, 20212022 was $849$710 and $963$686 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.CSPF. 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 createdSubsequent to our withdrawal, the CSPF incurred extensive asset losses atand indicated that it was projected to become insolvent. In such event, 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 ofcoordinating 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.the U.S. government. Following SFA approval, of an application, a qualifying multiemployer pension plan will receive a lump sum payment to enable it to continue paying unreduced pension 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, theThe CSPF submitted an application tofor SFA that was approved in December 2022 and, in January 2023, the PBGC for SFA. The PBGC has up to 120 daysCSPF received $35.8 billion from the date of submission to reviewPBGC.
We account for the application.
The passage of the ARPA and the expected receipt of SFA by the CSPF currently suspends ourpotential obligation to provide additionalpay 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 andTopic 715, which requires us to provide a best estimate of various actuarial assumptions in measuring our pension benefit obligation at the December 31st measurement date. As of December 31, 2022, our best estimate of coordinating benefits that may be required to be paid by 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.after SFA funds have been exhausted was immaterial.
The future value of thisour estimate for future coordinating benefits 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 PBGCCSPF to sustain its long-term 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 Topic 715.
Collective Bargaining Agreements
We have approximately 327,000330,000 employees in the U.S. employed under a national master agreement and various supplemental agreements with local unions affiliated with the IBT.Teamsters. These agreements run through July 31, 2023. We have begun negotiating successor agreements with the Teamsters. We are negotiating in good faith in an effort to reach an agreement that is in the best interests of our employees, the Teamsters and UPS; however, no assurances of our ability to do so, or the timing or terms thereof, can be provided. Customers may reduce their business or stop doing business with us if they believe that such actions or threatened actions may adversely affect our ability to provide services. We may permanently lose customers if we are unable to provide uninterrupted service, and this could materially adversely affect us. The terms of future collective bargaining agreements also may affect our competitive position and results of operations. Furthermore, our actions or responses to any such negotiations, labor disputes, strikes or work stoppages could negatively impact how our brand is perceived and our corporate reputation and have adverse effects on our business, including our results of operations.
We have approximately 3,20010,000 employees in Canada employed under a collective bargaining agreement with the
Teamsters which runs through July 31, 2025.
We have approximately 3,500 pilots who are employed under a collective bargaining agreement with the Independent Pilots Association ("IPA"). This collective bargaining agreement becomes amendable September 1, 2023.2025.

Our annual impairment testing of these assets indicated that the fair value of the trade name, which isgoodwill associated with our truckload brokerage business,Roadie reporting unit remained greater than its carrying value, as of our July 1 testing date, although this excess was less than 10 percent. The goodwill associated with our Roadie reporting unit as of March 31, 2023 was $241 million. There were no events or changes in circumstances during the first quarter of 2023 that would indicate the carrying amount of Roadie goodwill may be impaired as of the date of this report.
For each of our reporting units and our indefinite-lived trade name, we continue to monitor the combined impact of macroeconomic conditions and business performance on our estimates of fair value.

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, 2022,2023, we had no outstanding balances under our commercial paper programs. The amount of commercial paper outstanding under these programs in 2023 is expected to fluctuate.
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 first quarter of 2023, we repaid approximately $16 million of foreign currency-denominated debt assumed in the Bomi Group acquisition.
On April 1, 2023, our 2.500% Senior Notes with a principal balance of $1.0 billion and our floating rate senior notes with a principal balance of $500 million matured and were repaid in full.
Debt Issuances
On February 23, 2023 we issued two series of notes in the principal amounts of $900 million and $1.1 billion. These notes bear interest at 4.875% and 5.050%, respectively, and mature on March 3, 2033 and March 3, 2053, respectively. Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually, beginning September 2023. Each series of notes is callable at our option at a redemption price equal to the greater of 100% of the principal amount, or the sum of the present values of scheduled payments of principal and interest, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
On March 7, 2023 we issued floating rate senior notes with a principal balance of  $529 million. These notes bear interest at a rate equal to the compounded Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") less 0.350% per year and mature on March 15, 2073. These notes are callable at various times after 30 years at a stated percentage of par value and are redeemable at the option of the note holders at various times after one year at a stated percentage of par value.
Reference Rate Reform
Our floating-rate senior notes with maturities ranging fromthat mature between 2049 throughand 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")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, 2022.5, 2023. 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, 20222023 was 0.875%0.70%. Alternatively, a fluctuating rate of interest equal to the highest of (1) the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the prime rate in the United States; (2) the Federal Funds effective rate plus 0.50%; or (3) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate for a one-month interest period plus 1.00%, may be used at our discretion.
The second agreement provides revolving credit facilities of $2.0 billion, and expires on December 7, 2026. Amounts outstanding under this facility bear interest at a periodic fixed rate equal to the term SOFR rate plus 0.10% per annum and an applicable margin based on our then-current credit rating. The applicable margin from the credit pricing grid as of March 31, 20222023 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 & PoorsPoor'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, 2022.2023.
Debt Covenants
Our existing debt instruments and credit facilities subject us to certain financial covenants. As of March 31, 2022,2023, 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, 2022,2023, 10% of net tangible assets was equivalent to $4.7$4.9 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$21.9 and $25.1$18.2 billion as of March 31, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, respectively. We utilized Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy of valuation techniques to determine the fair value of all of our debt instruments.

NOTE 10. LEASES
We have finance and operating leases for real estate (primarily package centers, airport facilities warehouses, office space,and warehouses), aircraft aircraftand 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 remaining lease terms vary from 1 month to 138 years.
Aircraft
In addition to the aircraft that we own, we have leases for 317 aircraft. Of these leased aircraft, 21 are classified as finance leases, 18 are classified as operating leases and the remaining 278 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. ManyA majority of our long-term aircraft operating leases contain charges for common area maintenance or other expenses that are updated based on landlord estimates. Dueoperated by a third party to this variability, the cash flows associated with these chargeshandle package and cargo volume in geographic regions where, due to government regulations, we 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 also reduce the initial lease obligation.

From time to time, we enter into leases with the intention of purchasing the 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.restricted from operating an airline.
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-yearequipment leases for trailers to increase capacity during periods of high demand, which are typically only used for 90-120 days during the year.demand. 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 ROUright of use lease asset and associated lease obligation.

NOTE 11. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND CONTINGENCIES
We are involved in a number of judicial proceedings and other matters arising from the conduct of our business.
Although there can be no assurances as to the ultimate outcome, we have generally denied, or believe we have meritorious defenses and will deny, liability in all pending matters, including (except as otherwise noted herein) the matters described below, and we intend to vigorously defend each matter. We accrue amounts associated with legal proceedings when and to the extent a loss becomes probable and can be reasonably estimated. The actual costs of resolving legal proceedings may be substantially higher or lower than the amounts accrued on those claims.
For matters as to which we are not able to estimate a possible loss or range of losses, we are not able to determine whether any such loss will have a material impact on our operations or financial condition. For these matters, we have described the reasons that we are unable to estimate a possible loss or range of losses.
Judicial Proceedings
We are a defendant in a number of lawsuits filed in state and federal courts containing various class action allegations under state wage-and-hour laws. At this time, we do not believe that any loss associated with any such matter will have a material impact on our operations or financial condition. One of these matters, Hughes v. UPS Supply Chain Solutions, Inc. and United Parcel Service, Inc. had previously been certified as a class action in Kentucky state court. In the second quarter of 2019, the court granted our motion for judgment on the pleadings related to the wage-and-hour claims. The plaintiffs' appeal of this decision was denied; however, indenied. However, they were granted a discretionary review by the secondKentucky Supreme Court. In the first quarter of 20222023, the plaintiffs were granted discretionary review of these claims byKentucky Supreme Court ruled in our favor. Plaintiffs have filed a motion for rehearing before 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. OnIn 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, obtaineddecision. In December 2022, a suspension oftrial court ruled against us. We have filed an appeal before the implementation of the decision (including payment of the fine). The appeal is pending.Spanish Supreme Court. We do not believe that any loss from this matter would have a material impact on our operations or financial condition. We are vigorously defending ourselves and believe that we have a number of meritorious legal defenses. There are also unresolved questions of law and fact that could be important to the ultimate resolution of this matter.
In November 2021, the Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") sent us an information request related to hazardous waste regulatory compliance at certain of our facilities. The EPA has indicated that it is investigating potential recordkeeping violations of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act at those facilities. We are cooperating with the EPA. An immaterial accrual with respect to this matter is included in our consolidated balance sheets. We do not believe that any loss from this matter would have a material impact on our operations or financial condition, although we are unable to predict what action, if any, might be taken in the future by the EPA as a result of this request.
We are a party in various other matters that arose in the normal course of business. We do not believe that the eventual resolution of these other matters (either individually or in the aggregate), including any reasonably possible losses in excess of current accruals, will have a material impact on our operations or financial condition.

The timing of share repurchases will depend upon market conditions. Unless terminated earlier by the Board of Directors, this program will expire when we have purchased all shares authorized for repurchase under the program.

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 Swithin hareowners’Shareowners’ Equity section ofin 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.

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. ToWhere deemed appropriate, to manage the impact of these exposures on earnings and/or cash flows, 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, weagreements. 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 ofguidelines. We may further manage credit risk with any single counterparty.
 Asthrough the use of March 31, 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 and/or early termination rights utilizing master netting arrangements, whereby cash is requiredexchanged based on the net fair value of derivatives associated with those counterparties.each counterparty.
As of March 31, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, we held cash collateral of $253$375 and $260$534 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.unrestricted. As of March 31, 2022, we were required to post $2 million of cash collateral with our counterparties. As of2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, 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 toin our domestic and international package servicesbusinesses 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 normallygenerally 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.revenue.
We also hedge portions of our anticipated cash settlements of intercompany transactionsprincipal and interest payments on certain debt subject to foreign currency remeasurement using foreign currency forward contracts.denominated debt. We normallygenerally 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.transactions.

UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We hedge our net investment in certain foreign operations with foreign currency denominated debt instruments. The use of foreign denominated debt as the hedging instrument allows the debt to be remeasured to foreign currency translation adjustment within other comprehensive income to offset the translation risk from those investments. Balances in the foreign currency translation adjustment accounts remain until the sale or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity, upon which they are recognized as a component of Investment income and other.
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 may 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.

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

NOTE 16. INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was approximately 24.9% and 21.5% compared with 22.8%, respectively. The year-over-year increase in the same period of 2021. The recognition in incomeour effective tax ofrate was driven by lower excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation, reduced our effective rate by 2.4% for the quarter compared to 1.1% in the same period of 2021. Other items that impacted our effective tax rate in the first quarter of 2022 compared to 2021 included unfavorable changes in jurisdictional earnings mix and uncertain tax positions and favorable changes in our jurisdictional earnings mix.positions.
As discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, weWe 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 changes could result from the settlement of ongoing litigation, the completion of ongoing examinations, the expiration of statutesthe statute of limitations, or other unforeseen circumstances. Over the next twelve months, it is reasonably possible that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by up to $180 million.
In the first quarter 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 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 million in the first quarter of 2022 compared to $118 million in the same period of 2021. As a result, we recorded an income tax benefit of $12 million in the first quarter compared to $28 million in the same period of 2021. The income tax benefit was generated at a higher average tax rate than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate primarily due to the effect of U.S. state and local taxes and foreign taxes. The 2021 benefit was generated at a higher average tax rate than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate primarily due to the effect of U.S. state and local taxes and foreign taxes.
We recorded a pre-tax valuation allowance against assets held for sale of $66 million during the first quarter of 2021, resulting in an additional income tax benefit of $16 million. This income tax benefit was generated at a higher average tax rate than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate due to the effect of U.S. state and local taxes.
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 of 2022, the tax incentive was renegotiated and extended. The tax incentive is conditioned upon our meeting specific employment and investment thresholds, which we expect to meet. The impact of the tax incentive did not significantly change our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of 2021.

Overview
During the first quarter, we continued executingWe continue to execute ourCustomer First, People Led, Innovation Driven strategy by investing to realize further improvements in revenue quality, reductionsimprove the customer experience and drive growth in our costtargeted customer segments, including small- and medium-sized businesses ("SMBs") and healthcare. We seek to serve and growth in operating profit. Withinprovide industry-leading service to our customers by combining our digital capabilities with our global integrated network.

We expanded our global footprint of dedicated healthcare facilities, accelerated deployment of our Digital Access Program within the U.S.smart package-smart facility technology and internationally. Through our People Led strategic focus, we also realigned our executive leadership teamcontinued to pursue initiatives to drive further productivity improvements and better serve our customers. Under Innovation Driven, we continued to deploy additional automation to increase productivity,
Macroeconomic headwinds, 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 contributedinflation and a decline in U.S. manufacturing production, led to a challenging operating environment which is expected to persist, including global inflation, a surge in energy prices and upstream supply chain disruption. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in, and is expected to continue to result in, disruptions to our business, particularly in parts of Asia. In the first quarter this drove a reductionof 2023. In the U.S., consumer spending continued to shift towards services and discretionary spending slowed. Internationally, exports out of Asia remained weak and inflationary pressures persisted in the number of flights we operated within the region relative to our expectations andEurope. These factors negatively impacted demand for our services. Following Russia's invasion of Ukraineservices, resulting in February, we suspended all commercial operationsvolume declines in our global small package operations. We anticipate these countries, as well as in Belarus. Although these operations represent less than 1% of our consolidated revenues and the direct financial impact is not material to our business, wefactors will continue to monitor the evolving impact of the conflict on the broader economy. As a result of the aforementioned factors, we expect to continue to face certain pressuresus throughout the remainder of 2022.2023. We may also be negatively impacted by the ongoing negotiation of our labor contract with the Teamsters. For additional information on the status of these negotiations, see note 7 to the accompanying unaudited financial statements.
In our U.S. Domestic Package reportable segment, volume decreasedNotwithstanding the challenging macroeconomic environment in the first quarter, driven by declineswe managed our network with agility, focused on productivity, controlled cost and generated operating profit that was in residential volume. These declines were driven by a shift towards spending on servicesline with our expectations. Additionally, we returned cash to shareowners through dividends and a returnshare repurchases, and continued to in-store shopping, as well as the impact of fiscal stimulus in the first quarter of 2021 that drove a surge in online consumer spending that did not repeat this year. Successful execution ofmake long-term investments to support our strategy resulted in growth in revenue per piece, which more than offset the impact of volume declines for the quarter.strategy.
OurWe have two reportable segments: U.S. Domestic Package and International Package, reportable segment was also impacted by the external factors discussed above,which are together referred to as wellour global small package operations. Our remaining businesses are reported as lower e-commerce spending relative to the first quarter of 2021 when COVID-19 restrictions were in place in a number of countries, which resulted in a decrease in volume. This was offset by revenue per piece growth, driven by our continued focus on revenue quality as well as pricing changes which included fuel surcharge impacts. The growth in revenue per piece resulted in an increase in operating profit for the quarter.
Within Supply Chain Solutions, revenue growth was impacted by the second quarter 2021 divestiture of UPS Freight. Operating profit and operating margin increased, as global market demand continued to outpace supply in our international air and ocean freight forwarding businesses. Our truckload brokerage business benefited from revenue quality initiatives and growth remained strong in our healthcare operations.Solutions.

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

Changes in Foreign Currency Exchange RatesRate 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-periodperiod 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. dollarDollar 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-periodperiod over period impact of foreign currency hedging activities). The difference between the current period reported U.S. dollarDollar revenue, revenue per piece and operating profit and the derived current period U.S. dollarDollar revenue, revenue per piece and operating profit is the period-over-periodperiod 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,curtailments and settlements, 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,obligation resulting in a curtailment gain of$33 $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. three months ended March 31, 2022.

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 forin the first quarter of 2022.2023.
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.
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 are also required to make assumptions relating to our overall business and operating strategy, and the regulatory and market environment.
Our 2022 annual impairment testing of goodwill indicated that the fair value of our Roadie reporting unit remained greater than its carrying value, although this excess was less than 10 percent. The carrying value of goodwill associated with our Roadie reporting unit is $241 million. There were no events or changes in circumstances during the first quarter of 2023 that would indicate the carrying value of Roadie goodwill may be impaired as of the date of this report.
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 in one or more of our reporting units or to our indefinite-lived intangible assets in a future period.

Volume
Average daily volume decreased, with reductions in both residential and commercial shipments as a result of challenging macroeconomic conditions, including high inflation, declines in U.S. manufacturing production and changes in consumer spending. We anticipate a continued decline in average daily volume throughout the remainder of the year.
Business-to-consumer shipments declined 5.5% in the first quarter, driven by a 7.4% decline in residential shipments. The decline in residential volume was attributable to rising inflation depressing consumer demand, athe continued shift in consumer spending away from e-commerce towards services and in-store shopping and the impact of fiscal stimulusa reduction in the first quarter of 2021 that drove a surgediscretionary spending. We experienced smaller declines in online consumer spending in that period. Business-to-consumer shipments represented approximately 57.4% of average dailyresidential volume for the quarter compared to 60.1% in 2021.
Business-to-business shipments increased 3.6% in the 2022 period, with growth primarily infrom SMBs than from our Ground commercial productlarge customers, which was driven by growthpartially due to additional volume generated through our Digital Access Program. Volume 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.

Within our Air products, we experienced shifts inlargest customer mix that resulted in overall declines in average daily volume. Deferred average daily volume remained relatively flat, while our Next Day Air average daily volume declined as we continued to execute within our Better Not Bigger strategic framework.
Within our Ground products, SurePost average daily volume decreased 10.5%, driven by a reduction in shipments from a number of large customers while Ground residential experienced volume declines in all customer segments. These declines were driven by lower consumer spending as discussed above. Ground commercial volume increased 4.1%, with growth from both large customers and SMBs.
Rates and Product Mix
Revenue per piece in both our Air and Ground products increased, driven by increases in base rates and fuel surcharges, as well as favorable changes in customer and product mix. Rates for Air and Ground products increased an average of 5.9% in December 2021, and our SurePost rates also increased at that time. In our Next Day Air and Deferred products, overall revenue per piece growth was slightly impacted by a reduction in average billable weight per piece.
Through continued execution of our strategy, we anticipate that revenue per piece will continue to grow faster than volume throughout the remainder of 2022.
Fuel Surcharges
We apply a fuel surcharge on our domestic air and ground services that is adjusted weekly. The air fuel surcharge is based on the U.S. Department of Energy's ("DOE") Gulf Coast spot price for a gallon of kerosene-type fuel, while the ground fuel surcharge is based on the DOE's On-Highway Diesel Fuel price. Based on published rates, the average fuel surcharge rates for domestic Air and Ground products were as follows:

Next Day Air / Deferred14.4 %5.9 %8.5 %
Ground12.7 %7.2 %5.5 %
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.
Total domestic fuel surcharge revenue increased $601 million, driven by increases in fuel surcharges and pricing structure changes. We expect surcharges to remain elevated throughout the remainder of 2022.agreed-upon contract terms.

Business-to-business shipments declined 5.4%, primarily as a result of declines across multiple industry sectors that are sensitive to the macroeconomic factors discussed above. We experienced an increase in returns volume in the first quarter.
Within our Air products, average daily volume decreased across all customer segments. These decreases were driven by customers making cost trade offs and taking advantage of enhanced speed in our ground network. Additionally, continued execution of the agreed-upon contract terms with our largest customer also contributed to the overall decline in air volume.
Ground residential and Ground commercial average daily volume decreases of 2.1% and 4.2%, respectively, were primarily attributable to declines from a number of our large customers due to the economic factors discussed above. Within Ground residential, we experienced growth from SMBs. SurePost volume from our larger customers increased as a result of the shift in volume from our Air products discussed above.
Rates and Product Mix
Revenue per piece in our Air and Ground products increased in the quarter, resulting from base rate increases and additional pricing actions, as well as favorable changes in customer mix. These increases were partially offset by the shift in product mix discussed above. Rates for Air and Ground products increased an average of 6.9% in December 2022. In our Next Day Air and Deferred products, revenue per piece growth was negatively impacted by a reduction in average billable weight per piece.
We anticipate moderate revenue per piece growth in 2023 which is expected to somewhat offset the expected decline in volume as we continue to focus on revenue quality.
Fuel Surcharges
We apply a fuel surcharge on our domestic air and ground services that adjusts weekly. Our air fuel surcharge is based on the U.S. Department of Energy's ("DOE") Gulf Coast spot price for a gallon of kerosene-type fuel, and our ground fuel surcharge is based on the DOE's On-Highway Diesel Fuel price.
Fuel surcharge revenue increased $206 million, driven by increases in price per gallon and increases in fuel surcharges as part of our pricing initiatives, partially offset by the impact of lower volume. We expect a reduction in fuel surcharge through the remainder of 2023 based on the current commodity market outlook and as we wrap fuel pricing initiatives that were introduced last year.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses and adjusted operating expenses excluding the year-over-year impact of transformation and other charges, increased, partly due to the impact of one additional operating day. Pickupincreased. Our pickup and delivery costs and other indirect operating costs increased $455$39 and $115 million, and therespectively. These increases were partially offset by cost reductions of operating$50 million in our integrated air and ground network increased $279 million. Packageand a $24 million decrease in package sorting costs increased $80 million and other indirectin the first quarter of 2023. The overall increase in operating costs increased $58 million. These increases were impacted by:expenses was primarily due to:
Higher fuel costs, primarily attributable to increases in the price of jet fuel, diesel and gasoline, which we expect to persist.
Increases in employee benefits expense for our union workforce, due to contractual rate increases for contributions to multiemployer benefit plans, as well as additional headcount becoming eligibleincreases in workers' compensation and auto liability expenses that were driven by claims experience. Service costs for health, welfareour company-sponsored pension and retirement benefits.postretirement plans decreased, primarily attributable to higher discount rates used to measure the projected benefit obligations of these plans.
HigherAdditional facilities coming into service, coupled with inflationary pressures, contributed to cost increases in repairs and maintenance and facility operating costs.
These increases were partially offset by:

Contractual rate increases and cost of living and market-rate adjustments for our union workforce. These increasesworkforce were partiallysomewhat offset by lower volumes, leading to a decreasereduction in average dailydirect union labor hours. Management payroll also increased,

Business-to-consumer volume decreased 20.7%. This decrease was attributable to7.7% as challenging global economic conditions, including rising interest rates, high inflation and geopolitical uncertainty, and COVID-19 disruptionsimpacted consumer demand. These factors also impacted business-to-business volume, which decreased 5.6%. We anticipate declines in Asia, as well as a reduction in consumer e-commerce spending relative to the first quarter of 2021 when COVID-19 restrictions were in place in a number of countries. Business-to-businessaverage daily volume increased 0.5% in the first quarter. We expect volume growth in the first half of the year to be negative, with improvement occurring inwill moderate, but will persist into the second half of the year.2023.
Export volume decreased in the first quarter, driven by impacts from Europedeclines in intra-Europe, Asia and Asia. EuropeanU.S. trade lanes. Declines on the intra-Europe and U.S. export trade lanes were due to lower consumer spending as a result of the challenging macroeconomic conditions. Asia volume declines were highest on intra-Europe trade lanes, driven by overall economic conditions. These declines were partially offset by growth on the EuropeAsia to U.S. trade lane driven by the United Kingdomas a result of rising inventory levels and Turkey. The decline in Asia export volume was primarily driven by COVID-19 disruptions, which resulted in fewer flights being operated during the first quarter and reduced business activity in certain areas within China during March.softening U.S. consumer demand.

Domestic volume also declined in the first quarter, particularly inprimarily within Europe and Canada, and the United Kingdom, due toas a decrease in residential volume driven by the reduction in e-commerce from the comparative period, asresult of economic conditions discussed above.
Rates and Product Mix
In December 2021,2022, we implemented an average 5.9%6.9% net increase in base and accessorial rates for international shipments originating in the United States. Rate changes for shipments originating outside the U.S. are made throughout the year and vary by geographic market. Additionally, we continue to apply demand-related surcharges on certain lanes.
Total revenue per piece increased 10.5% inslightly for the quarter, primarily due to fuel surcharges and pricing structure changes as well as favorable shifts in customer and product mix, fuel surcharges and base rate increases. These increases were mostly offset by unfavorable currency movements and declines in demand-related surcharges. Excluding the impact of currency, revenue per piece increased 3.8%. For the remainder of the year, we expect overall revenue per piece to decrease relative to prior year periods as trends in fuel and demand-related surcharges are expected to continue to be unfavorable.
Export revenue per piece decreased 3.2%, driven by declines in our Worldwide products and unfavorable currency movements. Excluding the impact of currency, export revenue per piece decreased 0.4%.
Domestic revenue per piece increased 3.1%, primarily due to rate increases and favorable shifts in customer mix. Demand-related surcharges on certain export volume also contributed to the increase. This increase was partially offset by unfavorable currency movements. Excluding the impact of currency, revenue per piece increased 13.9%. We expect our overall revenue per piece to increase for 2022 as a result of our continuing revenue quality initiatives.
Export revenue per piece increased 9.6% in the quarter also for the reasons described above. Excluding the impact of currency, export revenue per piece increased 12.2%.
Domestic revenue per piece was also favorably impacted by 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%10.2%.
Fuel Surcharges
The fuel surcharge forwe 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. Total international fuel surcharge revenue increased by $259$28 million in the first quarter, driven by significantprimarily due to increases in fuel surcharge indices whichprice per gallon. These increases were slightly offset by unfavorable currency movements and volume declines. WeBased on the current commodity market outlook, we expect fuel surcharges to continue to remain elevated throughoutsurcharge revenue will decline during the remainder of 2022.the year.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses, and adjusted operating expenses, decreased in the first quarter. The principal drivers were:
Pickup and delivery costs decreased $21 million and other indirect costs decreased $22 million as inflationary pressures were more than offset by favorable currency movements and the impact of volume declines.
The costs of operating our integrated international air and ground network increased $26 million, primarily due to higher fuel prices, which we expect to decline through the remainder of the year.

Operating Expenses
Operating expenses, and operating expenses excluding the year-over-year impact of transformation and other charges, increased in the first quarter. The costs of operating our integrated international air and ground network increased $295 million, primarily due to higher fuel prices, which we expect to persist through 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 million, primarily due to volume declines in the first quarter discussed above. Other indirect costs also decreased year over year, while package sorting costs remained relatively flat.
Operating Profit and Margin
As a result of the factors described above, operating profit increased $31decreased $288 million for the first quarter, with operating margin decreasing 70470 basis points to 22.9%18.2%.

Substantially all of our operations in Russia and Belarus were suspended in March 2022 and, during the first quarter of 2023, we commenced liquidation of our Small Package and Forwarding and Logistics subsidiaries. Substantially all of our operations in Ukraine remain indefinitely suspended. These actions have not had, and are not expected to have, a material impact on us.

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
Total revenue in Supply Chain Solutions decreased in the first quarter. This was driven by declines in our Forwarding business as challenging economic conditions drove declines in customer activity, while increased capacity led to lower market rates.
International airfreight revenue decreased approximately $415 million as customer demand declined, particularly on Asia export lanes. This volume decline also resulted in a reduction in the rates we charge for services. We anticipate that lower demand, coupled with higher market capacity, will continue to pressure rates throughout the remainder of the year.
Revenue in our truckload brokerage business decreased $403 million due to lower volume and a continued decline in market rates. We remained focused on our revenue quality initiatives and experienced volume growth from SMBs during the quarter, which partially offset the decline.
The remaining reduction in revenue was attributable to ocean freight forwarding. Market rates and volume declined, particularly on the Asia to U.S. lane, due to lower demand, an increase in inventory levels and additional capacity entering the market. We expect revenue to remain challenged in the rest of 2023 as capacity increases are expected to outweigh demand.

Fuel
The increase in fuel expense for the quarter was primarily driven by higher prices for jet fuel, diesel and gasoline, partially offset by the impact of lower volume. 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 the quarter as a result of additional operating facilities coming into service, higher utilities costs and increases in rental rates. We expect inflation may continue to adversely impact these costs for the remainder of the year.
Other Expenses
Other expenses and adjusted other expenses excludingincreased for the year-over-year impact of transformation and other charges, increasedquarter, primarily as a result of:
Outsourcing and professional fees increased $60 million due to increased utilization of the following:third-party services to support our strategic initiatives.
An increase of $39 million in commissions paid for certain online shipments.
Favorable changes in reserves for legal and tax contingencies in 2022 drove a year-over-year increase in expense of $29 million.
Hosted software application fees and other technology costs increased $31 million.$28 million in support of ongoing investments in our digital transformation.

These increases were partially offset by a reduction of goods providedcosts incurred under transitional service agreements to the acquirer of UPS Freight was $28 million. There was no similar cost in the 2021 period.
Auto liability insurance increased $22 million, driven by increases in the frequency and severity of claims.
Other increases included airline operational expenses, third-party commissions, payment processing fees and an increase in our allowance for credit losses.

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 may 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):

As of March 31, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, we had no outstanding commodity hedge positions.
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, 2022 is incorporated herein by reference.
Our market risks, hedging strategies and financial instrument positions as of March 31, 20222023 have not materially changed from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022. In 2022,the first quarter of 2023, 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, 20212022 and March 31, 20222023 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 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 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, 2022,2023, we held cash collateral of $253$375 million 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 by reference.

Item 1A.Risk Factors
Except as set forth below, thereThere 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, 2021.2022. The following risk factor corrects and supersedesoccurrence of any of the risk factor entitled “Global climate change presents challenges torisks 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 infinancial 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 requiredmaterially 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 additioncurrently 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.
