Allocation of Corporate Expenses

The statements of operations include an allocation of general corporate expenses from Parent, recorded within costs of services and selling, general and administrative, for certain management and support functions which were provided on a centralized basis within Parent. These allocations were $24 million and $158 million for the period from April 1, 2018 to May 31, 2018 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2018, respectively.

Management of the Company and Parent consider these allocations to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services by, or the benefits provided to, USPS. These allocations may not, however, reflect the expense USPS would have incurred as a standalone company for the periods presented. Actual costs that may have been incurred if USPS had been a standalone company would depend on a number of factors, including the chosen organizational structure, what functions were outsourced or performed by employees and strategic decisions made in areas such as IT and infrastructure.
