segments produced outstanding results throughout the
year. The Supply Chain and Freight segment generated
a more than 26%* increase in adjusted operating profit
growth. International increased operating profit to $2.5
billion on average daily shipment growth of 9.3%.

Strong cash flow enabled UPS to advance our strategic
investment schedule, and reward shareowners. For the
year, we invested $5.2 billion in capital expenditures,
paid $2.9 billion in dividends, and repurchased shares for
$1.8 billion.

UPS was voted No. 1 in the delivery industry in Fortune

Companies.” We were also recognized by Just Capital
as one of America’s 100 Most Just Companies and by
Ethisphere as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies
for the 11th straight year. We were named to the Dow
Jones Sustainability World Index for the fifth straight
year, and our medical drone initiative in Rwanda won a
Corporate Citizenship Award from the U.S. Chamber of
Commerce Foundation. These rankings highlight both the
strength of our solutions portfolio and of the UPS brand.
U.S. Domestic
The strong U.S. Domestic segment revenue expansion
was driven by balanced growth across all products.
Revenue for Ground products was up 6.5%, Next Day Air
was 5.0% higher and Deferred Air products increased
8.3%. Adjusted operating profit for U.S. Domestic was $4.9
billion*, with an adjusted operating margin of 12.1%*.

increased 11%* on a currency-neutral basis. Export
shipments jumped more than 15% — the highest level
we’ve produced in nearly two decades.
Total adjusted operating profit increased to $2.5 billion*,
up more than 16%* on a currency-neutral basis. Operating
margin was 18.7%* and continues to lead the industry.
