Summary
UPS reported second-quarter 2026 results that demonstrate the payoff from its strategic pivot away from Amazon. Revenue climbed 7.6% to $22.8 billion despite a 3.7% decline in package volume, as the company successfully shifted its mix toward higher-margin business.
Revenue per piece rose 9.3% domestically and 18.9% internationally, driving non-GAAP adjusted operating margin expansion to 9.2% from 8.8% a year earlier. The company completed its 18-month Amazon volume glide-down during the quarter and raised full-year guidance across revenue, operating profit, and earnings.
The headline GAAP results—operating profit down 49% and EPS down 53%—reflect $891 million in after-tax transformation charges tied to workforce reduction under the Driver Choice Program. These one-time costs are part of broader Network Reconfiguration and Efficiency Reimagined initiatives expected to deliver approximately $3 billion in benefits for the full year. Excluding those charges, adjusted EPS of $1.76 beat the prior year's $1.55, and adjusted operating profit grew 12%. Free cash flow more than doubled in the first half to $1.6 billion, supported by lower capital spending and improved operating cash generation. For holders, the quarter validates management's bet that shedding low-margin Amazon volume and optimizing the network would improve profitability and cash generation, with the raised guidance signaling confidence that the benefits will persist through year-end.
