2022 Outlook
The 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 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 raising the amount of targeted share repurchases for 2022, taking the target to $3 billion for the year.
* “Adjusted” amounts 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, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, 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, revenue per piece and operating profit 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.

Regeringen föreslår lättnader i byggkraven för studentbostäder
Regeringen har beslutat om en lagrådsremiss med förslag till lättnader i byggkraven för studentbostäder. Syftet är att öka möjligheterna till flexibilitet vid byggandet.
– På många studieorter är det svårt för studenter att hitta boende. Därför behöver byggregelverket förenklas. Syftet är att möjliggöra för fler studentbostäder genom sänkta byggkostnader och ökad flexibilitet, säger infrastruktur- och bostadsminister Andreas Carlson.
Förslaget innebär att det blir möjligt att göra undantag från kraven på tillgänglighet och användbarhet i en byggnad som innehåller studentbostäder. Undantagen ska kunna tillämpas vid både nyproduktion och vid ändring av en byggnad.
Det ska vara möjligt att göra undantag för högst 80 procent av studentbostäderna i ett byggprojekt. Minst 20 procent av studentbostäderna ska fortfarande uppfylla gällande krav på tillgänglighet och användbarhet för personer med nedsatt rörelse- eller orienteringsförmåga.
Lagändringen ger större flexibilitet vid byggande av studentbostäder och skapar fler tänkbara sätt att utforma planlösningar. Till exempel kan bostadsytan minskas och fler bostäder rymmas inom en given yta.
De föreslagna undantagen ska inte hindra personer med funktionsnedsättning att vara delaktiga i sociala sammanhang. En studentbostad som omfattas av undantagen ska kunna besökas av en person med nedsatt rörelse- eller orienteringsförmåga.
Regeringen breddar också definitionen av studentbostäder till att inkludera all vuxenutbildning för att göra det möjligt för fler kommuner att erbjuda studentbostäder.
Förslagen föreslås träda i kraft den 1 juli 2025.

“Vi behöver tillsammans enas om vettiga avtal, som sätter standard för branschen”


Sveriges Radios Kulturnytt gör just nu en mycket välkommen granskning av villkoren i musikbranschen. Igår lyftes artisten Siw Malmkvists situation med ett avtal som inte förnyats på över 60 år. Hennes situation är tyvärr långt ifrån unik. Musikerförbundet har länge uppmärksammat att majorbolagen fortsätter att betala extremt låga royaltynivåer till artister vars kontrakt skrevs på 1960-talet – en tid då digital streaming inte existerade.
– Jag kan intyga att artisterna som talar ut i P1 är långt ifrån ensamma om sin situation och vi uppmanar deras artistkollegor att gå ut med sitt tydliga stöd till de som vågar bryta tystnaden om oskäliga ersättningar, säger Musikerförbundets ordförande Karin Inde.
Musiker och artister skapar det värde som skivbolagen tjänar pengar på, men ändå ser vi gång på gång hur bolagen behåller stora delar av intäkterna. Att en av Sveriges mest folkkära artister, med en karriär som sträcker sig över decennier, fortfarande har en oskälig royalty är ett tydligt bevis på branschens obalans.
– Tystnadskulturen kring prissättning är enbart bra för bolagen. Både artister och musiker skulle verkligen tjäna på att dela med sig till varandra om hur betalningar och dealar verkligen ser ut. Förstås i trygga, egna rum. Det är bara bolagen som tjänar på att vi inte pratar med varandra om pengar, säger Karin Inde.
Stort tack till de modiga artister som ser till att lyfta problematiken! För att vi ska få till en i grunden mer rättvis musikbransch behöver de stora parterna i sammanhanget – skivbolagen, musikerna och artisterna – göra som de flesta andra svenska branscher lyckas med:
– Vi behöver tillsammans enas om vettiga och balanserade avtal, som sätter standard för branschen. Musikerförbundet är redo att göra vår del i arbetet för bättre villkor i musikbranschen, frågan är om skivbolagen är redo, säger Karin Inde.

Bönor från egen kaffeskog, sump till jord – Viking Lines nya kaffe gör gott på många olika sätt


Viking Lines resenärer dricker varje år 8,5 miljoner koppar kaffe. Nu satsar rederiet på ett helt nytt kaffe som ger minskade klimatutsläpp och bättre levnadsvillkor för odlarna. Kaffet från Slow Forest odlas på rederiets egen odling i Laos utan kemiska gödningsmedel, handplockas och rostas därefter i Danmark.
Allt kaffe som serveras på Viking Lines fartyg är nu hållbart producerat Slow Forest-kaffe, odlat på rederiets 75 hektar stora odling på högplatåerna i Laos och rostat i Danmark. Kaffeplantorna odlas bland träd på återbeskogad mark, i stället för på traditionellt skövlade plantager. Viking Lines odling ligger i en kolsänka där målsättningen är att plantera 30 000 träd, vilket innebär nästan 400 träd per hektar. Kaffeskogen förbättrar också den lokala biologiska mångfalden i området.
Odlingen, bearbetningen och rostningen av kaffet hanteras av Slow Forest Coffee. För företaget är det viktigt att produktionskedjan är rättvis och transparent. Utöver miljöfördelarna erbjuder Slow Forest bättre lönevillkor och sjukersättning för byns odlare.
”Den traditionella kaffetillverkningens koldioxidavtryck är stort och merparten av intäkterna går till Europa i stället för produktionsländerna. Vi ville göra annorlunda. Våra kunder vill göra hållbara val, och nu kan de njuta av sitt kaffe med bättre samvete än någonsin tidigare,” berättar Viking Lines restaurangchef Janne Lindholm.
Bönorna till Slow Forest-kaffet får sakta mogna i skuggan av träden, utan kemiska gödningsmedel. De plockas också för hand, vilket avsevärt förbättrar kaffets kvalitet och smak. Viking Lines nya kaffe består till 100 procent av Arabica-bönor, med en balanserad syrlighet samt smak av nötter och choklad. Rostningsprofilen har skapats av den världsberömda danska rostningsmästaren Michael de Renouard.
”Vi valde en mörkrost till fartygets kaffe, vilket passar både finländarnas och svenskarnas nuvarande smakpreferenser gällande rostning. Finländarnas smak gällande kaffe har under de senaste åren utvecklats mot en mörkare rostning. Innan vi gjorde vårt slutgiltiga val testades det nya kaffet i Viking Cinderellas bufférestaurang och personalmässen – och båda testgrupperna gav toppbetyg. Då 8,5 miljoner koppar kaffe bryggs varje år kan inget lämnas åt slumpen!” säger Janne Lindholm.
Viking Lines hållbarhetsmål stannar inte vid produktionskedjan. Kaffesump från fartygen återvinns nämligen som råmaterial för trädgårdsjord. Detta minskar avsevärt användningen av jungfrulig torv vid tillverkningen av mylla.
”Vi har som mål att allt som tagits ombord på fartygen som är möjligt att återvinna ska återanvändas eller återvinnas. Det gäller inte bara kaffet utan även matavfall och till exempel textilier som tas ur bruk. Ett bra exempel på vårt livscykeltänkande är att frityrolja från fartygets restauranger blir till biobränsle för den finska sjöfartsindustrin,” säger Viking Lines hållbarhetschef Dani Lindberg.
Slow Forest Coffee – 5 fakta:
- Slow Forest Coffee är ett kaffeföretag som verkar i Laos, Vietnam och Indonesien i samarbete med över 500 lokala kaffeodlare.
- Företaget grundades år 2019 av Pinja Puustjärvi, driven av en vilja att skydda skogarna i Laos och stötta lokala odlare. Puustjärvi bodde som barn i Laos på grund av sin fars arbete.
- Kaffet odlas i restaurerade kaffeskogar, som binder stora mängder kol och ökar den biologiska mångfalden.
- Det är viktigt för företaget att produktionskedjan är ansvarsfull och transparent, samt att verksamheten gynnar både miljön och de lokala samhällena.
- Slow Forest Coffee betalar odlarna bättre ersättning än genomsnittet i Laos och erbjuder förmåner som underlättar deras liv: förskottsbetalningar, utbildning och möjligheten att låna pengar från en krisfond.
