We offer a broad range of industry-leading products and services through our extensive global presence, serving over 200 countries and territories. Our services include transportation and delivery through our integrated air and ground network, distribution, contract logistics, ocean freight, airfreight, customs brokerage and insurance. In 2025, we delivered an average of 20.8 million packages per day, totaling 5.2 billion packages during the year. Total revenue in 2025 was $88.7 billion. Strategy We are continuing to execute our Customer First, People Led, Innovation Driven strategy, which focuses on growing in the parts of our market that value our end-to-end solutions, including healthcare, business-to-business ("B2B"), small- and medium-sized businesses ("SMBs"), and international. Customer First is about reducing friction in the customer experience by anticipating and solving for customers' needs. We are focused on providing differentiated value through our capabilities and service. We strive to enable our customers to better 1 compete and succeed by taking complexity out of their business and delivering what they tell us matters to them the most: speed, ease and service reliability. People Led focuses on our employee experience and how likely an employee is to recommend UPS employment to a friend or family member. We know successful outcomes are built from a strong culture and sense of partnership. We believe that when we take care of our people, they will take care of our customers. Innovation Driven is our focus on leveraging technology to optimize the volume that flows through our network. We continually seek to improve the productivity and efficiency of our global integrated network by using technology to move from a scanning to a sensing network, including using RFID technology in our Smart Package Smart Facilities initiative . In 2025, we took several steps in furtherance of this strategy, including continuing to deliberately shift our business to increase our focus on higher yielding volume, which allowed us to increase SMB penetration to over 30% of total U.S. volume from 2024. We also completed the acquisitions of Frigo-Trans and Biotech & Pharma Logistics ("Frigo-Trans") and Andlauer Healthcare Group ("AHG"), further expanding our healthcare cold chain capabilities. In 2025, our global healthcare portfolio generated more than $11 billion in revenue, furthering our progress towards our goal to become the number one complex healthcare logistics provider in the world. Additionally, we extended our RFID labeling solution to 5,500 UPS store locations and completed the installation of RFID readers across U.S. package cars. This label technology allows customers to generate shipping labels with embedded RFID, streamlining processes and improving tracking capabilities. Furthermore, in December 2025, we entered into an agreement with the United States Postal Service ("USPS") to support final-mile delivery for a portion of our Ground Saver and Mail Innovations volumes starting in 2026. This agreement is expected to allow us to more cost efficiently serve our customers across these offerings while maintaining our industry-leading service levels. Competitive Strengths Our competitive strengths include: Global Smart Logistics Network . We believe that our integrated global air and ground network is the broadest in the industry.
