Additional 402(v) Disclosure | In accordance with SEC rules, we are required to include in the above table the most important financial performance measure (not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) used to link compensation actually paid to our named executive officers for 2025 to Company performance. We consider this measure to be non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Profit, which is calculated by excluding the following items from Operating Profit determined in accordance with GAAP: for 2025, transformation strategy costs, goodwill and asset impairment charges, and a net loss on divestiture; for 2024, transformation strategy costs, gain on divestiture, a one-time payment for an international regulatory matter, goodwill and asset impairment charges, expense for a separate regulatory matter, and a charge related to a multiemployer pension plan withdrawal; for 2023, a one-time compensation representing a payment to certain U.S.-based non-union part-time supervisors, goodwill and asset impairment charges, and transformation strategy costs; for 2022, a one-time non-cash expense related to stock-based awards that were accelerated to fully vest in 2022 in connection with a change in incentive compensation program design, a one-time non-cash charge reflecting a reduction in the estimated residual value of fully-depreciated MD-11 aircraft, and transformation strategy costs; and for 2021, transformation strategy costs, goodwill and asset impairment charges, and divestitures. •Stock awards issued under the MIP are valued at the NYSE closing price of UPS class B stock at each applicable date. •Outstanding stock awards issued under the LTIP are valued using a Monte Carlo model at each reporting date with performance outcomes assumed to be at target. LTIP awards that vest during the period are valued using actual performance outcomes and the NYSE closing price of UPS class B stock on the vesting date. •Option awards are valued using a Black-Scholes option pricing model that reflects the award’s exercise price relative to the NYSE closing price of UPS class B common stock at each valuation date. •Stock award valuations include reinvested dividends where applicable. |  |  |  |
