REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Plan Participants and Plan Administrator of the
UPS 401(k) Savings Plan
Atlanta, Georgia
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the UPS 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits of the Plan for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the changes in net assets available for benefits of the Plan for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Plan's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Report on Supplemental Schedules
The supplemental schedules of delinquent participant contributions for the year ended December 31, 2023, and of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2023 have been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audits of the Plan's financial statements. The supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental schedules reconcile to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental schedules. In forming our opinion on the supplemental schedules, we evaluated whether the supplemental schedules, including their form and content, are presented in compliance with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, such schedules are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

UPS 401(k) Savings Plan
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022
General - The UPS 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Plan”) is an employee voluntary and plan sponsor contributory defined contribution plan established for employees of United Parcel Service of America, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("UPS") who are not members of a collective bargaining unit and who satisfy the participation requirements of the Plan, which are described below. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) of 1974, as amended. Participants should refer to the Plan documents for more complete information.
The Plan became effective July 1, 1988 and has been amended periodically. The Plan allows participants to defer a portion of their compensation, subject to the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") yearly limits, on a pretax and/or Roth after-tax ("Roth 401(k)") basis under the rules of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The Plan includes an auto-enrollment provision whereby certain newly eligible employees are automatically enrolled in the Plan unless they affirmatively elect not to participate in the Plan. Automatically enrolled participants initially have their deferral rate set at 6% of eligible compensation and their contributions invested in an age appropriate target date fund unless and until changed by the participant. The deferral rate is increased 1% annually, as provided in the Plan documents, until it reaches 10% of eligible compensation or is changed by the participant. Effective January 1, 2023, the deferral rate will be increased 1% annually until it reaches 15% of eligible compensation or is changed by the participant. The Plan also allows for contributions to be made on an after-tax basis for participants with eligible compensation below $150,000.
Employer Contributions - For employees hired and eligible to participate in the Plan on or before December 31, 2007, UPS makes “SavingsPlus” (as defined in the Plan documents) matching contributions to each participant’s account equal to 50% of pre-tax and/or Roth 401(k) contributions made to the Plan up to 5% of eligible compensation.
For employees, hired, rehired or transferred from ineligible status who became eligible to participate in the Plan on or after January 1, 2008, but before July 1, 2016, UPS makes SavingsPlus matching contributions to each participant's account equal to 100% of pre-tax and/or Roth 401(k) contributions made to the Plan up to 3.5% of eligible compensation.
For employees hired, rehired or transferred from ineligible status who became eligible to participate in the Plan on or after July 1, 2016, UPS makes SavingsPlus matching contributions to each participant's account equal to 50% of pre-tax and/or Roth 401(k) contributions made to the Plan up to 6% of eligible compensation.
Prior to January 1, 2023, all SavingsPlus matching contributions were made in UPS class A common stock. Effective for SavingsPlus matching contributions accrued after January 1, 2023, UPS makes SavingsPlus matching contributions in cash to each eligible participant's account equal to 50% of pre-tax, Roth, and/or after-tax 401(k) contributions made to the Plan by the participant up to 6% of eligible compensation. The SavingsPlus matching contributions for 2023 and 2022 were $152.593 million and $142.438 million, respectively.
The UPS Retirement Plan (a defined benefit pension plan sponsored by UPS) was closed to new non-union participants effective July 1, 2016. The Company amended the UPS 401(k) Savings Plan so that employees who do not participate in the UPS Retirement Plan receive a “UPS Retirement Contribution” (as defined in the Plan documents) in addition to the SavingsPlus matching contribution. For employees eligible to receive the UPS Retirement Contribution, UPS contributes 3% to 8% of eligible pay to the UPS 401(k) Savings Plan based on years of vested service and business unit.
On June 23, 2017, the Company amended the Plan (the "Amendment") so that non-union employees who participated in the UPS Retirement Plan would, in addition to then-current benefits under the Plan, earn a UPS Retirement Contribution beginning January 1, 2023. Also effective beginning January 1, 2023, the Amendment increased the UPS Retirement Contribution to 5% to 8% (3% to 8% prior to 2023 for employees hired after July 1, 2016) of eligible compensation to the Plan based on years of vested service for all eligible participants.
Contributions are made annually in cash to the accounts of participants. UPS Retirement Contributions, net of forfeitures, associated with these Plan provisions were $381.920 million for 2023 and $109.897 million for 2022 and were remitted on March 29, 2024 and April 5, 2023, respectively. These amounts are included in Receivables: Employer contributions in the statements of net assets available for benefits.
The Amendment also provides for transition contributions for certain participants hired before December 31, 2007. The amount of transition contributions for 2023 was $123.350 million. There were no transition contributions in previous years.
Contributions and Vesting - Eligible employees may participate in the Plan immediately upon hire. The Plan provides that a participant's contributions and SavingsPlus match are 100% vested at all times. Employees become 100% vested in the UPS Retirement Contribution after three complete years of service. Participants may make voluntary contributions in one of three ways: pretax, after-tax, or to the Roth 401(k) feature. Limits to these contributions are as follows:
•Participants may contribute up to 50% of their eligible compensation on a pretax and/or as a Roth 401(k) basis.
•Participants may contribute through a deferral of up to 100% of their Management Incentive Program ("MIP") or International Management Incentive Program ("IMIP") cash award on a pretax basis. MIP and IMIP are part of UPS's incentive compensation programs. Non-executive management program eligibility is determined annually by the executive officers of UPS. Awards granted to executive officers are approved by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee of the UPS Board of Directors.
•Participants may contribute, through a deferral of up to 100% of their discretionary day payout on a pretax and/or Roth 401(k) basis.
•Participants may contribute, through a deferral of up to 100% of eligible compensation attributable to the Sales Incentive Program (SIP) bonus program on a pretax and/or Roth 401(k) basis.
•Participants who are employed by Coyote Logistics, LLC, a UPS subsidiary, may contribute through a deferral of up to 100% of eligible compensation attributable to certain bonuses on a pre-tax and/or Roth 401(k) basis.
•Participants may contribute an additional 10% of their eligible compensation on an after-tax basis.
•Participants age 50 and older, or who will turn 50 during the Plan year, are allowed to make pre-tax or Roth 401(k) catch-up contributions, up to an additional 35% of their eligible compensation subject to an IRS determined maximum. The maximum catch-up contribution was $7,500 for 2023 and may be indexed each year for inflation.
Participants can contribute to the Plan an amount consisting of an eligible rollover distribution or transfer from a conduit individual retirement account. Rollover contributions are at all times fully vested and nonforfeitable. Participants may not rollover participant loans to Plan account balances from other qualified retirement plans, annuity contracts, or individual retirement accounts.
Investments - Participants may choose from various investment options including UPS class A common stock, short-term investments, guaranteed investment contracts ("GICs") and common and collective trust funds. Within the self-managed account, participants can invest in mutual funds and individual securities listed on major U.S. securities exchanges. Participants should refer to the Plan documents for more complete information concerning the Plan's investment options.
Participant Accounts - Individual accounts are maintained for each Plan participant. Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution and related matching and nonelective contributions and investment gains and losses. Withdrawals and administrative expenses are deducted from each participant's account.
Payment of Benefits - The Plan does not permit withdrawals or distributions except in the case of hardship, at attainment of age 59 1/2, upon termination of employment, or upon the death or total and permanent disability of the participant. In order to qualify for a hardship withdrawal, the participant must satisfy the legal requirements of a financial hardship as defined by IRC regulations. There are no penalties on approved withdrawals or distributions.
Forfeited Amounts - When certain terminations of participation in the Plan occur, the nonvested portion of the participant’s account, as defined by the Plan, represents a forfeiture. The Plan permits the use of forfeitures to either reduce future employer contributions or pay Plan administrative expenses for the plan year. However, if a participant is reemployed and fulfills certain requirements, as defined in the Plan documents, the forfeited amount will be reinstated. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company used $16.272 million and $14.609 million of forfeitures to reduce employer contributions, respectively. The amount of unallocated forfeitures as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 were not material.
Notes Receivable from Participants - The Plan provides for loans only in cases of hardship or certain residential purchases. Participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum of the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their account balances (across all UPS-sponsored plans in which they participate). Loan terms shall not exceed five years on general loans and fifteen years on residential loans. Interest rates on outstanding loans ranged from 4.25% to 11.60% as of December 31, 2023. The loans are collateralized by the participant's account and bear interest at a fixed rate equal to one percentage point above the prime rate on the last business day of the month prior to the month in which the participant makes application for the loan. Principal and interest are paid ratably through regular payroll deductions.
Plan Termination - Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, UPS has the right under the Plan to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of a termination, participants become fully vested and the trustee has been instructed to maintain separate Plan accounts for each participant to accumulate earnings until the final terminating distribution.
Plan Administration - Voya Financial provides recordkeeping and administrative services to the Plan. Bank of New York Mellon serves as the trustee for all assets of the Plan.
| | | | | |
2 | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of Accounting - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP).
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Accounting pronouncements issued, but not effective until after December 31, 2023, are not expected to have a material impact on the Plan's statement of net assets available for benefits or statement of changes in net assets available for benefits.
Use of Estimates and Risks and Uncertainties - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires Plan management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits and changes therein and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Plan utilizes various investment instruments, including short-term investments, common and collective trust funds, registered investment companies, GICs, and certain individual securities listed on major U.S. securities exchanges. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate risk, credit risk, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition - The Plan's investments are 100% participant directed and stated at fair value, with the exception of the GICs which are stated at contract value. Fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Quoted market prices are used to value all marketable securities. The value of each share of UPS class A common stock held by the Plan at December 31, 2023 and 2022 is equal to the closing price of a share of UPS class B common stock as reported by the New York Stock Exchange on the last trading day of the applicable year as the class A common stock is readily convertible on a 1:1 basis to class B common stock.
Investments in common and collective trust funds are valued based upon the redemption price of units held by the Plan, which is based on the current fair value of the common and collective trust funds' underlying assets. Unit values are determined by the financial institution sponsoring such funds by dividing the fund’s net assets at fair value by its units outstanding at the valuation dates. The Plan holds the right to liquidate its positions in these common and collective trust funds at any time, subject to a reasonable notification period. No unfunded commitment existed with respect to these common and collective trust funds at December 31, 2023 or 2022. The redemption frequency is immediate and there are no other redemption restrictions.
Investments in GICs are recorded based on the contract value per each individual contract. Generally, contract value is equal to participant deposits, plus credited interest. Contract value may be subject to adjustments in connection with contract holder directed withdrawals.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation (depreciation) includes the Plan's gains and losses on investments bought and sold, as well as held during the year.
The Plan also offers a self-managed account option. Within the self-managed account, participants can invest in registered investment companies and individual securities listed on major U.S. securities exchanges. The majority of these investments are stated at fair value based upon quoted market prices, with the exception of corporate bonds purchased by participants which are valued based on observable market inputs.
Administrative Expenses - Administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the participants and UPS as provided in the Plan documents. UPS provides certain accounting, audit, legal and other administrative services to the Plan free of charge. Management fees and operating expenses charged to the Plan for investments are deducted from income earned on a daily basis and are not separately reflected. Consequently, management fees and operating expenses are reflected as a reduction of investment return for such investments. Personal advisor services are made available as an option for Plan participants seeking professional investment advice within their plan accounts. Personal advisor fees of the Plan are paid by the participants as provided in the Plan documents. Administrative fees for 2023 and 2022 were as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2023 | | 2022 |
Investment advisory and management fees | | $ | 1,026 | | | $ | 996 | |
Plan administrator fees | | 2,994 | | | 3,265 | |
Personal advisor fees | | 7,117 | | | $ | 8,174 | |
Total administrative expenses | | $ | 11,137 | | | $ | 12,435 | |
Payment of Benefits - Benefit payments to participants are recorded upon distribution.
Notes Receivable from Participants - Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Delinquent participant loans are recorded as distributions based on the terms of the Plan documents.
Employer Contributions Receivable - Employer contributions receivable are obligations from UPS to the participants for the plan year, which are not settled until after the plan year has ended.
Excess Contributions Payable - The Plan is required to return contributions received during the Plan year in excess of the IRC limits. During 2023, the Plan did not pass the non-discrimination requirements of IRC Section 415(c) (annual addition limits exceeded). As a result, for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, de minimis contributions were refundable to certain participants.
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, provides a framework for measuring fair value. The framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, as follows:
•Level 1 - securities valued using unadjusted quoted prices from active markets for identical assets.
•Level 2 - securities not traded on an active market but for which observable market inputs are readily available.
•Level 3 - securities valued based on significant unobservable inputs.
Assets are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following table presents information about our investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized to determine such fair value (in thousands):

* The investments within the self-managed accounts include a variety of categories of common stock, mutual funds, bonds and cash.
The availability of observable market data is monitored to assess the appropriate classification of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in economic conditions or model-based valuation techniques may require the transfer of financial instruments from one fair value level to another. In such instances, the transfer is reported at the beginning of the reporting period.
We evaluate the significance of transfers between levels based upon the nature of the financial instrument and size of the transfer relative to total net assets available for benefits. There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during 2023 or 2022.
| | | | | |
4 | FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS |
The IRS has determined and informed UPS by a letter dated February 22, 2016, that the Plan and related trust were designed in accordance with the applicable regulations of the IRC. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements.
GAAP requires Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken positions that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2023, there are no positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions, but there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Plan administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2020.

As of December 31, 2023, the Plan maintained one GIC related investment option, the Stable Value Fund. The underlying contracts within this fund are synthetic GICs and are considered to be fully benefit responsive in accordance with ASC 962, Plan Accounting - Defined Contribution Pension Plans; therefore, the GICs are reported at contract value in the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits. Generally, contract value is equal to participant deposits, plus credited interest. Contract value may be subject to adjustments in connection with contract holder directed withdrawals. As of December 31, 2023, the contract value of the investment in insurance contracts was $287.840 million. The Plan did not have any GIC investment options as of December 31, 2022.
The underlying investments within the Stable Value Fund consist of a short-term investment fund and five separate GIC contracts (the "contracts") issued by five separate issuers. The earnings on the contracts are based on an interest rate applied to the Stable Value Fund's outstanding balance in each contract. The interest rates are analyzed and may be reset by each issuer quarterly for each contract. The interest credited rate to participants in the Stable Value Fund for the year ended December 31, 2023 was approximately 5%. The contracts within the Stable Value Fund have a 0% floor crediting interest rate, guaranteed by wrapper contract agreements or the issuer. The wrapper contracts are agreements with the wrap issuers, such as a bank or insurance company, to make payments to the Plan in certain circumstances. The wrapper contracts typically include certain conditions and limitations on the underlying assets owned by the Plan and provide a guarantee that the crediting rate will not fall below 0%. There are no valuation reserves recorded to adjust contract amounts. Underlying asset performance, net cash flows of the participant contribution, withdrawal activity and duration of assets are factors that could influence the average interest credited rate.
Premature termination in whole or part of each contract is at the discretion of the Plan sponsor and generally involves a payment adjusted to the contract's fair value. The contracts permit a book value corridor through which a threshold percentage of the contract terms is available at book value in the event of certain employer actions including, but not limited to, layoffs, retirement incentive programs, or partial or total plan terminations.
Certain employer-initiated events may limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the issuers and could require participants to transact at fair value. Such events include, but are not limited to, material or adverse amendments to the Plan, complete or partial Plan termination, creation of certain competing investment options or changes to the qualification status of the Plan.
In addition, certain events allow the issuers to terminate the contracts with the Plan and settle at an amount different from contract value. Such events may be different under each contract and include, but are not limited to, material or adverse amendments to the Plan, changes to the qualification status of the Plan, breach of material obligations under the contract, misrepresentation by the contract holder, or failure of the underlying portfolio to conform to the pre-established investment guidelines.
The Plan administrator believes that no events are probable that would limit the Plan's ability to transact at contract value with the contract issuers or that would limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value with the participants.

6 | PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS |
Exempt Party-In-Interest Transactions
Certain Plan investments are managed by State Street Global Advisors or the BlackRock Institutional Trust Company. Bank of New York Mellon, Voya Financial, and Charles Schwab are the trustee, recordkeeper, and self-managed account service provider respectively, as defined by the Plan, and therefore, fees paid to these institutions qualify as exempt party-in-interest transactions. In September 2023, the Plan changed service providers for the self-managed account from TD Ameritrade to Charles Schwab, as part of Charles Schwab's acquisition of TD Ameritrade. Fees paid by the Plan for recordkeeping and trustee fees were $2.994 million and $3.265 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Fees paid by the Plan for investment management services were $1.026 million and $0.996 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Fees paid by the Plan for personal advisor services were $7.117 million and $8.174 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
UPS is the Plan sponsor and all transactions in its common stock qualify as exempt party-in-interest transactions. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Plan held 12,171,484 and 12,600,752 shares of UPS class A common stock with a fair value of $1.914 billion and $2.191 billion and a cost basis of $1.541 billion and $1.530 billion, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Plan recorded dividend income on UPS class A common stock of $79.986 million and $76.445 million, respectively.
Nonexempt Party-In-Interest Transactions
The Plan remitted $1.089 million of certain participant contributions to the trustee later than required under Department of Labor Regulation 2510.3-102 during the year ended December 31, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Plan filed Form 5330 with the IRS and paid the required excise tax on the transactions. In addition, participant accounts were credited with the amount of investment income that would have been earned had the participant contribution been remitted on a timely basis. There were no nonexempt party-in-interest transactions during the year ended December 31, 2023.
