The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of UPS, Brian Newman, will be stepping down from his position on June 1 due to health reasons. In his separation agreement with the company, Newman will receive $1.83 million in cash, along with other payments and benefits. UPS will be conducting a search for its next CFO, considering both internal and external candidates.

In its quarterly earnings report, UPS revealed that the decline in customer demand had nearly leveled off, with average daily volume (ADV) declining 3.2% in the US and 5.8% internationally. CEO Carol Tomé expressed gratitude for Newman's guidance during unprecedented economic conditions [ab40a169].
