The segments changed

10-K filed 2026-02-17

Compared with the 10-K of Feb 18, 2025: no longer reported: International Package, Supply Chain  Solutions.

When a company changes its segments, the years before are usually recast, so growth by segment is not comparable with what earlier 10-Ks showed. Found by comparing the segments with revenue in the last two 10-Ks (XBRL) and by the 10-K's own words, without AI.

From SEC's XBRL company facts (data.sec.gov). EBITDA = operating income + depreciation and amortization; free cash flow = operating cash flow - capital spending; total debt = long-term debt (with its current part) + short-term borrowings. Stock-based pay and leases are shown as the company reports them; Tickdelta does not take them out of earnings or add leases to debt. Click a number to open the filing in SEC's Inline XBRL viewer, where you can click the same number to see how it is tagged. Values a company later revised show as revised; the Revised numbers tab lists the changes.
