Alliance Alert – USPS April 2025 and YTD Financials

May 22, 2025

Dear Alliance Members:

With the release today of its financial results through April, the U.S. Postal Service continues its poor performance.

Here’s a link to the April 2025 USPS Preliminary Financials: https://prc.arkcase.com/portal/filings/136398

With an $850 million loss last month, the Postal Service’s April 2025 year-to-date (YTD) net loss was $4.0 billion compared to a $3.6 billion net loss in the same period of FY 2024.

Excluding non-cash workers’ comp adjustments to provide an apples-to-apples comparison, the YTD net loss was $3.5 billion (up from $3.3 billion for the same period last year).

The Delivering for America plan to rely heavily on packages running through an expensive new network continued to falter. Competitive package volume was down 4.2% in April and 3.5% YTD. Rate hikes yielded package revenue growth of 4.2% last month and only 2.1% YTD. Meanwhile, Market Dominant mail volume dropped 1.6% in April and 1.8% YTD. Mail revenue derived from record rate increases grew only 0.8% last month and 2.4% YTD.
