Forward Guidance
UPS is updating its full-year 2023 consolidated revenue and adjusted operating margin targets primarily to reflect global macro-economic uncertainty. UPS now expects full-year 2023 consolidated revenue to be between $91.3 billion and $92.3 billion and a consolidated adjusted operating margin of between 10.8% and 11.3%.
Positive Outlook
- Full-year 2023 consolidated revenue expected to be between $91.3 billion and $92.3 billion
- Full-year planned capital expenditures target of about $5.3 billion is maintained.
- Dividend payment expectations of around $5.4 billion are maintained, subject to board approval.
- Full-year 2023 share repurchases are expected to be approximately $2.25 billion.
- The effective tax rate for the full year is expected to be approximately 22%.
Challenges Ahead
- Global macro-economic uncertainty
- Unfavorable macro-economic conditions negatively impacted global demand in the quarter
- Revenue decreased 11.1%, driven by a 11.5% decrease in average daily volume, which was partially offset by a 2.0% increase in revenue per piece in U.S. Domestic segment
