Dividend Declared

On May 10, 2018, UPS’ Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.91 per share on all outstanding Class A and Class B shares. The dividend is payable June 06, 2018, to shareowners of record on May 21, 2018.

UPS’ indicated dividend represents a yield of 3.13%, which is substantially higher than to the average dividend yield for the Services sector of 2.04%. UPS has a long history of rewarding shareowners with generous cash dividends. The Company has paid either stock or cash dividends every year since 1955 and has more than quadrupled its dividend since it went public at the end of 1999.

Dividend Insights

UPS has a dividend payout ratio of 50.3%, which means that the Company spends approximately $0.50 for dividend distribution out of every $1.00 earned. The dividend payout ratio reflects how much amount a company is returning to shareholders versus how much money it is keeping on hand to reinvest in growth, to pay off debt, and/or to add to its cash reserves.

According to analysts’ estimates, UPS is forecasted to report earnings of $7.88 per share for the next year, which is more than double compared to the Company’s annualized dividend of $3.64 per share.

As of March 31, 2018, UPS’ cash and marketable securities totaled $4.21 billion compared to $4.07 billion as on December 31, 2017. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company’s cash flow from Operations of $4.1 billion resulted in free cash flow of $2.6 billion. The Company’s strong financial position indicates its ability to absorb any fluctuations in earnings and cash flow and to sustain the dividend distribution for a long period.

Recent Development for UPS

On May 10, 2018, shareowners of UPS elected a Board of Directors for a one-year term and ratified the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accountants. Thirteen directors stood for election to the Board, and all were elected by wide margins.

UPS’ shareowners also approved the 2018 omnibus incentive compensation plan, which is intended to optimize UPS’ profitability and growth through annual and long-term incentives that are consistent with the Company’s goals.
