UPS (NYSE:UPS) today announced first-quarter 2022
consolidated revenue of $24.4 billion, a 6.4% increase over the
first quarter of 2021. Consolidated operating profit was $3.3
billion, up 17.6% compared to the first quarter of 2021, and up
12.1% on an adjusted basis. Diluted earnings per share were $3.03
for the quarter; adjusted diluted earnings per share of $3.05 were
10.1% above the same period in 2021.
For the first quarter of 2022, GAAP results include a net charge
of $19 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, comprised of after-tax
transformation and other charges of $43 million offset by an
after-tax gain of $24 million resulting from the curtailment of
benefits in a Canadian retirement plan.
“I want to thank all UPSers for their outstanding efforts during
a challenging first quarter to serve the needs of our customers,”
said Carol Tomé, UPS chief executive officer. “The agility of our
network and the continued execution of our strategy delivered
another quarter of strong financial performance, putting us on our
way to achieving our 2022 consolidated financial targets.”

- Operating margin was 10.8%; adjusted operating margin was

2022 OutlookThe company provides guidance on an
adjusted (non-GAAP) basis because it is not possible to predict or
provide a reconciliation reflecting the impact of future pension
mark-to-market adjustments or other unanticipated events, which
would be included in reported (GAAP) results and could be
material.
For 2022, UPS reaffirms its full-year financial targets:
- Consolidated revenue of about $102 billion
- Consolidated adjusted operating margin of approximately
13.7%
- Adjusted return on invested capital above 30%
- Capital expenditures of 5.4% of revenue, or approximately $5.5
billion
- Dividend payments, subject to board approval, of about $5.2
billion
Finally, UPS is announcing its plans to double the amount of
share repurchases for 2022, taking the target to $2 billion for the
year.
* “Adjusted” amounts and return on invested
capital (ROIC) are non-GAAP financial measures. See the appendix to
this release for a discussion of non-GAAP financial measures,
including a reconciliation to the most closely correlated GAAP
measure.

Forward-Looking Statements
This release and our filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission contain and in the future may contain “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Statements other than those of current or
historical fact, and all statements accompanied by terms such as
“will,” “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “estimate,” “assume,”
“intend,” “anticipate,” “target,” “plan,” and similar terms, are
intended to be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements are made subject to the safe harbor provisions of the
federal securities laws pursuant to Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934.
From time to time, we also include written or oral
forward-looking statements in other publicly disclosed materials.
Forward-looking statements may relate to our intent, belief,
forecasts of, or current expectations about our strategic
direction, prospects, future results, or future events; they do not
relate strictly to historical or current facts. Management believes
that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when
made. However, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance
on any forward-looking statements because such statements speak
only as of the date when made and the future, by its very nature,
cannot be predicted with certainty.
Forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from our historical experience and our present expectations or
anticipated results. These risks and uncertainties, include, but
are not limited to the impact of: continued uncertainties related
to the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and operations, financial
performance and liquidity, our customers and suppliers, and on the
global economy; changes in general economic conditions, in the U.S.
or internationally; industry evolution and significant competition;
changes in our relationships with our significant customers; our
ability to attract and retain qualified employees; increased or
more complex physical or data security requirements, or any data
security breach; strikes, work stoppages or slowdowns by our
employees; results of negotiations and ratifications of labor
contracts; our ability to maintain our brand image and corporate
reputation; disruptions to our information technology
infrastructure; global climate change; interruptions in or impacts
on our business from natural or man-made events or disasters
including terrorist attacks, epidemics or pandemics; exposure to
changing economic, political and social developments in
international markets; our ability to realize the anticipated
benefits from acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures or
strategic alliances; changing prices of energy, including gasoline,
diesel and jet fuel, or interruptions in supplies of these
commodities; changes in exchange rates or interest rates; our
ability to accurately forecast our future capital investment needs;
significant expenses and funding obligations relating to employee
health, retiree health and/or pension benefits; our ability to
manage insurance and claims expenses; changes in business strategy,
government regulations, or economic or market conditions that may
result in impairments of our assets; potential additional U.S. or
international tax liabilities; increasingly stringent laws and
regulations, including relating to climate change; potential claims
or litigation related to labor and employment, personal injury,
property damage, business practices, environmental liability and
other matters; and other risks discussed in our filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including our
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and
subsequently filed reports. You should consider the limitations on,
and risks associated with, forward-looking statements and not
unduly rely on the accuracy of predictions contained in such
forward-looking statements. We do not undertake any obligation to
update forward-looking statements to reflect events, circumstances,
changes in expectations, or the occurrence of unanticipated events
after the date of those statements.
Information, including comparisons to prior periods, may reflect
adjusted results. See the appendix for reconciliations of adjusted
results and other non-GAAP financial measures.
Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial
Measures
From time to time we supplement the reporting of our financial
information determined under generally accepted accounting
principles ("GAAP") with certain non-GAAP financial measures. These
include: "adjusted" compensation and benefits; operating expenses;
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(“EBITDA”); operating profit; operating margin; other income and
(expense); income before income taxes; income tax expense;
effective tax rate; net income; and earnings per share. We present
revenue and revenue per piece on a constant currency basis.
Additionally, we disclose free cash flow, return on invested
capital (“ROIC”) and the ratio of adjusted total debt to adjusted
EBITDA.
We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful
information to assist users of our financial statements in more
fully understanding our financial results and cash flows and
assessing our ongoing performance, because they exclude items that
may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, our underlying
operations and may provide a useful baseline for analyzing trends
in our underlying businesses. 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.
Non-GAAP 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 information does not
represent a comprehensive basis of accounting. Therefore, our
adjusted financial information may not be comparable to similarly
titled information reported by other companies.
Transformation and Other Charges
Adjusted EBITDA, operating profit, operating margin, income
before income taxes, net income and earnings per share may exclude
the impact of charges related to transformation activities,
goodwill and asset impairments, and divestitures.
Changes in Foreign Currency Exchange Rates and Hedging
Activities
Currency-neutral revenue, revenue per piece and operating profit
exclude the period over period impact of foreign currency exchange
rate changes and any foreign currency hedging activities. These
measures are calculated by dividing current period reported U.S.
dollar revenue, revenue per piece and operating profit by the
current period average exchange rates to derive current period
local currency revenue, revenue per piece and operating profit. The
derived amounts are then multiplied by the average foreign exchange
rates used to translate the comparable results for each month in
the prior year period (including the impact of any foreign currency
hedging activities). The difference between the current period
reported U.S. dollar revenue, revenue per piece and operating
profit and the derived current period U.S. dollar revenue, revenue
per piece and operating profit is the period over period impact of
foreign currency exchange rates and hedging activities.
Pension and Postretirement Adjustments
We recognize changes in the fair value of plan assets and net
actuarial gains and losses in excess of a 10% corridor (defined as
10% of the greater of the fair value of plan assets or the plan's
projected benefit obligation), as well as gains and losses
resulting from plan amendments, for our pension and postretirement
defined benefit plans immediately as part of other pension income
(expense). 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.
The deferred income tax effects of pension and postretirement
adjustments are calculated by multiplying the statutory tax rates
applicable in each tax jurisdiction, including the U.S. federal
jurisdiction and various U.S. state and non-U.S. jurisdictions, by
the adjustments.
Free Cash Flow
We calculate free cash flow as cash flows from operating
activities less capital expenditures, proceeds from disposals of
property, plant and equipment, and plus or minus the net changes in
finance receivables and other investing activities. We believe free
cash flow is an important indicator of how much cash is generated
by our ongoing business operations and we use this as a measure of
incremental cash available to invest in our business, meet our debt
obligations and return cash to shareowners.
Return on Invested Capital
ROIC is calculated as the trailing twelve months (“TTM”) of
adjusted operating income divided by the average of total debt,
non-current pension and postretirement benefit obligations and
shareowners’ equity, at the current period end and the
corresponding period end of the prior year. Because ROIC is not a
measure defined by GAAP, we calculate it, in part, using non-GAAP
financial measures that we believe are most indicative of our
ongoing business performance. We consider ROIC to be a useful
measure for evaluating the effectiveness and efficiency of our
long-term capital investments.
Adjusted Total Debt / Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted total debt is defined as our long-term debt and finance
leases, including current maturities, plus non-current pension and
postretirement benefit obligations. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
adjusted for restructuring and other costs and investment income
and other. We believe the ratio of adjusted total debt to adjusted
EBITDA is an important indicator of our financial strength, and is
a ratio used by third parties when evaluating the level of our
indebtedness.
Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Metrics
From time to time when presenting forward-looking non-GAAP
metrics, we are unable to provide quantitative reconciliations to
the most closely correlated GAAP measure due to the uncertainty in
the timing, amount or nature of any adjustments, which could be
material in any period.
