• U.S. Domestic Revenue Increases 5.0% as Package Yield Expands on Continued Ecommerce Demand
• International Reported Operating Profit $529 Million, Currency-Neutral Operating Profit $648 Million
• Supply Chain & Freight Building Momentum as Operating Profit Jumps 22% on 13% Revenue Growth
• Operating Profit Growth Dampened by Fuel Surcharge Lag
• Reaffirms Full-Year 2017 Adjusted EPS Guidance

UPS (NYSE:UPS) today announced first-quarter 2017 operating results with healthy revenue growth across all three segments. The company improved earnings per share by 3.9% versus the same period in 2016. The improved per-share result was due to a 22% increase in Supply Chain and Freight segment operating profit, strong underlying performance in the International segment and solid results in the Domestic segment, plus the favorable tax impact of adopting the new stock compensation accounting standard (ASU 2016-9).

“Revenue came in strong this quarter with all segments adding to the topline,” said David Abney, UPS chairman and CEO. “We are accelerating investments to create the industry’s leading smart global logistics network and value-creating portfolio. UPS customers are benefiting from expanded capacity, choice and improved time-in-transit, while technology solutions continue to deliver efficiencies.”

For the total company in Q1 2017:

• Total revenue climbed 6.2% and currency-neutral revenue increased 7.5%.
• Revenue grew in all segments and in all major product categories, as balanced market demand occurred across the company’s broad product portfolio.
• Total fuel expense increased $187 million or 43% over Q1 2016. The fuel surcharge revenue lagged expense, however a February 2017 surcharge change mitigates this variance for future periods.
