UPS Reports Strong 2Q Results

Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. The Distribution unit experienced strong revenue growth in the Healthcare, Aerospace and Automotive sectors. Furthermore, we use these adjusted financial measures to determine awards for our management personnel under our incentive compensation plans. Lower fuel surcharge rates reduced revenue growth by approximately 120 basis points. Strong business-to-consumer (B2C) growth trends continued this quarter, outpacing business delivery growth more than five to one.
