The company also raised its full-year 2026 guidance, now expecting consolidated revenue of $91.2 billion and adjusted diluted EPS of roughly $7.22 per share.
"Our second-quarter results marked an expected and significant shift in our performance and we delivered both consolidated revenue and non-GAAP adjusted operating profit growth," CEO Carol Tomé said in a release. "We entered the second half of the year with strong momentum and are raising our full-year consolidated revenue, non-GAAP adjusted operating profit and non-GAAP adjusted diluted EPS guidance."
UPS is in the midst of a turnaround strategy aimed at positioning the company for long-term and sustainable growth. The company is focused on enhancing automation in its networks and tapping into growing markets, including healthcare logistics.
For the second quarter, UPS reported a 6% increase in domestic revenue, driven by an increase in revenue per piece, and a 12.5% increase in international revenue. Supply chain solutions revenue rose 7.8%, in part due to growth in healthcare logistics.
The company added that it has achieved roughly $1.2 billion of program benefits from its network reconfiguration program, expecting to reach $3 billion by the end of the year.
