UPS raised its annual financial outlook on October 27 after reporting third-quarter revenue of $22.9 billion, up 6.7% from a year earlier.

The delivery company reported operating profit of $1.7 billion and diluted earnings of $1.37 per share. Adjusted figures, excluding specified items, were $2.1 billion in operating profit and $1.69 per share.

U.S. domestic revenue increased 4.5%, supported by higher revenue per package. International revenue grew 7.1%. Supply Chain Solutions revenue rose 18.2%, with forwarding, logistics and healthcare contributing, according to the company’s release furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Reported earnings included a net charge of $279 million for transformation costs, a goodwill impairment and an offsetting asset-sale gain.

UPS now forecasts approximately $92.6 billion in annual revenue and $7.28 in adjusted earnings per share. Its fourth-quarter revenue forecast is approximately $25.7 billion.

These forecasts describe management’s expectations, distinct from completed quarterly results. Adjusted measures supplement rather than replace the reported accounting figures.
