REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Administrative Committee of and Participants in the
UPS 401(k) Savings Plan
Atlanta, Georgia
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of the UPS 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2014 has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan's financial statements. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental schedule reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental schedule. In forming our opinion on the supplemental schedule, we evaluated whether the supplemental schedule, including its form and content, is presented in compliance with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, such schedule is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2014 AND 2013

1. | DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN |
General - The UPS 401(k) Savings Plan (the “Plan”) is a voluntary defined contribution plan established for employees of United Parcel Service of America, Inc. ("UPS") who are not members of a collective bargaining unit and who satisfy the participation requirements of the Plan, which are described below. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) of 1974, as amended. Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete information.
The Plan became effective July 1, 1988, and has been amended periodically. The Plan allows participants to defer a portion of their compensation, subject to the 2014 Internal Revenue Service (IRS) yearly limit of $17,500, on a pretax and/or Roth basis under the rules of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). The plan also allows for contributions to be made on an after-tax basis.
Employer Contributions - Employer contributions were $91.075 and $85.433 million for 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Contributions and Vesting - Eligible employees may participate in the Plan immediately upon hire. The provisions of the Plan provide that a participant's entire account is 100% vested at all times. Participants may make voluntary contributions in one of three ways: pretax, after-tax, or to the Roth 401(k) feature. Limits to these contributions are as follows:
| |
• | Participants may elect to contribute up to 35% of their eligible compensation on a pretax basis or as a Roth 401(k), or any combination of the two, to the Plan. |
| |
• | Participants may defer up to 100% on a pretax basis of a Management Incentive Program (MIP)/International Management Incentive Program (IMIP) cash award. MIP is part of the UPS Incentive Compensation Plan and participants are determined annually by the Compensation Committee of the UPS Board of Directors. |
| |
• | Participants may defer up to 100% on a pretax basis or to the Roth 401(k), or any combination of the two, of discretionary day pay. |
| |
• | Participants may defer up to 100% on a pretax basis or to the Roth 401(k), eligible compensation attributable to the Sales Incentive Program bonus program (SIP). |
| |
• | Participants may contribute an additional 5% of their eligible compensation on an after-tax basis to the Plan. |
| |
• | Participants age 50 and older or who will turn 50 during the Plan year are allowed to make pre-tax or Roth 401(k) catch-up contributions, up to an additional 35% of their eligible compensation subject to a maximum of $5,500 for 2014. The maximum catch-up contribution may be indexed each year for inflation. |
Participants can contribute to the Plan an amount consisting of an eligible rollover distribution or transfer from a conduit individual retirement account. Rollover contributions are at all times fully vested and nonforfeitable. Participants may not roll over participant loans to Plan account balances from other qualified retirement plans, annuity contracts, or individual retirement accounts.
Investments - Participants may choose from various investment options including UPS Class A common stock, short-term investments and common and collective trust funds. Within the self‑managed account, participants can purchase mutual funds and individual securities listed on major U.S. securities exchanges. Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete information concerning the Plan's investment options.
Participant Accounts - Individual accounts are maintained for each plan participant. Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution and related investment gains and losses. Withdrawals and administrative expenses are deducted from the participants account.
Payment of Benefits - The Plan does not permit withdrawals or distributions except in the case of hardship, at attainment of age 59 1/2, termination of employment, or upon the death or total and permanent disability of the participant. In order to qualify for a hardship withdrawal, the participant must satisfy the legal requirements of a financial hardship as defined by IRC regulations. There are no penalties on approved withdrawals or distributions as stated above. Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete information concerning the Plan's benefit payment options.
Notes Receivable from Participants - The Plan provides for loans in cases of hardship or residential loans only. Participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum of the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their account balances (across all UPS-sponsored plans in which they participate). Loan terms shall not exceed five years on general loans and fifteen years on residential loans. Interest rates on outstanding loans ranged from 4.00% to 10.50% as of December 31, 2014. The loans are collateralized by the participant's account and bear interest at a fixed rate equal to one percentage point above the prime rate on the last business day of the month prior to the month in which the participant makes application for the loan. Principal and interest are paid ratably through regular payroll deductions.
Plan Termination - Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, UPS has the right under the Plan to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of a termination, the trustee has been instructed to maintain separate Plan accounts for each participant to accumulate earnings until the final terminating distribution.
Plan Administration - Voya provides recordkeeping and administrative services to the Plan. State Street Global Services serves as the trustee for all assets of the Plan, with the exception of the UPS Stock Fund. BNY Mellon is the trustee for Class A shares of UPS Stock in the UPS Stock Fund.

2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of Accounting - The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").
Use of Estimates and Risks and Uncertainties - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires Plan management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of net assets available for benefits and changes therein and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Plan utilizes various investment instruments, including short-term investments, common and collective trust funds, registered investment companies, and certain individual securities listed on major U.S. securities exchanges. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate risk, credit risk, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition - The Plan's investments are 100% participant directed and stated at fair value. Fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Quoted market prices are used to value all readily available marketable securities. The value of each share of UPS Class A common stock held by the Plan at December 31, 2014 and 2013, is equal to the price of a share of UPS Class B common stock as reported by the New York Stock Exchange as the Class A common stock is readily convertible on a 1:1 basis to Class B common stock. Investments in common and collective trust funds are valued based upon the redemption price of units held by the Plan, which is based on the current fair value of the common and collective trust funds underlying assets. Unit values are determined by the financial institution sponsoring such funds by dividing the fund’s net assets at fair value by its units outstanding at the valuation dates. The Plan holds the right to liquidate its positions in these common and collective trust funds at any time, subject to a reasonable notification period. No unfunded commitment existed with respect to these common and collective trust funds at December 31, 2014.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation includes the Plan's gains and losses on investments bought and sold, as well as, held during the year.
The Plan also offers a self-managed account option. Within the self-managed account, participants can purchase registered investment companies and individual securities listed on major U.S. securities exchanges. These investments are stated at fair value based upon quoted market prices.
In May 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standards update that changes the disclosure requirement for reporting investments at fair value. This update removes the requirement to categorize investments for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient within the fair value hierarchy. These disclosures are limited to investments for which the entity has elected to measure the fair value using that practical expedient. The new guidance is effective for public entities for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted. The Plan did not elect early adoption of this guidance. At this time, we do not expect this new guidance to have a material effect on the Plan's statements of net assets available for benefits, statements of changes in net assets available for benefits, or the related disclosures in the financial statements.
Administrative Expenses - Administrative expenses of the Plan are paid by the Plan and UPS as provided in the Plan document. UPS provides certain accounting and other administrative services to the Plan free of charge. Management fees and operating expenses charged to the Plan for investments are deducted from income earned on a daily basis and are not separately reflected. Consequently, management fees and operating expenses are reflected as a reduction of investment return for such investments. Administrative fees for 2014 and 2013 were as follows (in thousands):
|
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2014 | | 2013 |
Investment advisory and management fees | | $ | 1,439 |
| | $ | 705 |
|
Plan administrator fees | | 3,658 |
| | 3,288 |
|
Total administrative expenses | | $ | 5,097 |
| | $ | 3,993 |
|
Payment of Benefits - Benefit payments to participants are recorded upon distribution.
Notes Receivable from Participants - Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Delinquent participant loans are recorded as distributions based on the terms of the Plan document.
Excess Contributions Payable - The Plan is required to return contributions to participants in the event certain non‑discrimination tests defined under the IRC are not satisfied. For both 2014 and 2013, the Plan passed the non-discrimination tests and the Plan was therefore not required to refund contributions to any Plan participants.

3. | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, provides a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, as follows: Level 1, which refers to securities valued using unadjusted quoted prices from active markets for identical assets; Level 2, which refers to securities not traded on an active market but for which observable market inputs are readily available; and Level 3, which refers to securities valued based on significant unobservable inputs. Assets are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy a summary of the Plan’s investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):

* The investments within the self-managed accounts include a variety of categories of common stock and mutual funds.
The availability of observable market data is monitored to assess the appropriate classification of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in economic conditions or model-based valuation techniques may require the transfer of financial instruments from one fair value level to another. In such instances, the transfer is reported at the beginning of the reporting period.
We evaluate the significance of transfers between levels based upon the nature of the financial instrument and size of the transfer relative to total net assets available for benefits. For the years ended, December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no transfers between levels.
Units of the collective trust funds are valued at the net asset value of its underlying investments. There are no unfunded commitments for these funds, the redemption frequency is immediate and there are no other redemption restrictions.

The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed UPS by a letter dated July 18, 2013, that the Plan and related trust were designed in accordance with the applicable regulations of the IRC. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements.
GAAP requires Plan management to evaluate tax positions taken by the Plan and recognize a tax liability (or asset) if the Plan has taken positions that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The Plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2014, there are no positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions. The IRS audit for the 2009 Plan year was closed February 11, 2015, and there are currently no audits for any tax periods in progress. The Plan administrator believes it is no longer subject to income tax examinations for years prior to 2010.

6. | PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS |
Certain Plan investments are managed by State Street Global Advisors (“State Street”) or the BlackRock Institutional Trust Company (“BlackRock”). State Street Global Services, Voya, and TD Ameritrade are the trustee, recordkeeper, and self-managed account service provider respectively, as defined by the Plan, and therefore, fees paid to these institutions qualify as exempt party-in-interest transactions. Fees paid by the Plan for recordkeeping and trustee fees were $3.658 and $3.288 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Fees paid by the Plan for investment management services were $1.439 and $0.705 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
UPS is the Plan sponsor and all transactions in its common stock qualify as exempt party-in-interest transactions. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Plan held 13,847,383 and 14,376,910 shares of common stock of the Company with a fair value of $1.539 and $1.511 billion and a cost basis of $957.683 and $919.578 million, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Plan recorded dividend income on UPS common stock of $38.477 million and $35.395 million, respectively.
