UPS Releases 4Q, Closes 93 Buildings in 2025
UPS announced fourth-quarter 2025 consolidated revenues of $24.5 billion. Consolidated operating profit was $2.6 billion; non-GAAP adjusted consolidated operating profit was $2.9 billion. Diluted earnings per share were $2.10 for the quarter; non-GAAP adjusted diluted earnings per share were $2.38.
For the fourth quarter of 2025, GAAP results include total charges of $238 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, comprised of a non-cash, after-tax charge of $137 million due to a write-off of the company’s MD-11 aircraft fleet and after-tax transformation charges of $101 million.
Regarding the MD-11 aircraft, UPS accelerated its fleet modernization plans, completing the retirement of its MD-11 fleet during the fourth quarter of 2025.
“I want to thank UPSers across the globe for their tireless commitment to serving our customers as we delivered best-in-class service during peak for the eighth year in a row and outperformed our financial expectations in the fourth quarter,” said Carol Tomé, UPS chief executive officer. “2025 was a year of considerable progress for UPS as we took action to strengthen our revenue quality and build a more agile network. Looking ahead, upon completion of the Amazon glide-down, 2026 will be an inflection point in the execution of our strategy to deliver growth and sustained margin expansion.”
Network Reconfiguration and Efficiency Reimagined: Our Network of the Future initiative is intended to enhance the efficiency of our network through automation and operational sort consolidation in our U.S. Domestic network. In connection with our strategic execution of planned volume declines from our largest customer, we began our Network Reconfiguration initiative, which is an expansion of Network of the Future and has led and will continue to lead to consolidations of our facilities and workforce as well as an end-to-end process redesign. We launched our Efficiency Reimagined initiatives to undertake the end-to-end process redesign effort which will align our organizational processes to the network reconfiguration.
We reduced our operational workforce by approximately 48,000 positions, including 15,000 fewer seasonal positions, and closed daily operations at 93 leased and owned buildings during 2025 as a component of this initiative. We continue to review expected changes in volume in our integrated air and ground network to identify additional buildings for closure. From this initiative, we computed year over year cost savings of approximately $3.5 billion in 2025. These amounts are calculated on the year over year change in volume from our largest customer, taking into account the impact of certain additional volume we have elected to serve. As of December 31, 2025 we have incurred program costs to date of $544 million, including $509 million in 2025.
