The net loss for the quarter under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) totaled $1.5 billion, compared to a net loss of $2.5 billion for the same quarter last year. GAAP results for the quarter were negatively impacted by $1.4 billion of expenses attributed to the amortization of unfunded retiree pension liabilities, offset by a workers' compensation non-cash benefit of $224 million driven by actuarial revaluation and discount rate changes; these factors are not controllable by the Postal Service. Controllable loss, as defined below, for the quarter was $317 million, compared to a controllable loss of $498 million for the same quarter last year. These results were favorably impacted by increased revenue and lower transportation costs, partially offset by the continued effect of inflation on operating expenses.</description><link>https://about.usps.com/newsroom/local-releases/nd/2024/0509-usps-reports-second-quarter-fiscal-year-2024-results.htm</link><pubDate>Fri, 10 May 2024 13:38:05 -0400</pubDate><author>Desai.o.abdul-razzaaq@usps.gov</author></item><item><title>Stamp Out Hunger on Saturday, May 11</title><description>NORTH DAKOTA — The National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) will conduct its 32nd annual national food drive on Saturday, May 11.
