Today, September 24th, the Postal Service filed with the Postal Regulatory Commission their Unaudited Financials for the month of August 2025.
For months that do not close out a quarter USPS provides their unaudited financials revenues and volumes, reporting out the month and the year-to-date results of actual to plan and against same period last year (SPLY).
August was the first full month since the July 2026 price change of 7.3% – 9.3+%. Postage budgets may now be feeling the impact.
Since this is a month that closes a quarter and the fiscal year we will not see the September financials revenue and volumes until likely early November a full five to six weeks into FY26.
Year-to-date net losses now total $7.8B which puts USPS FY25 net losses on target to end up at $8.9 – $9+ Billion, which is about $3 B over USPS FY25 Integrated Financial Plan loss of $6.9.
First Class Mail volume for August was down 7%, Marketing Mail down 8.5%, with packages seeing the biggest loss of down 9.4%. As a reminder in 2024 we had a high volume of political mail, so it is expected that volume would be lower in 2025. USPS total Market Dominant volume is showing at 2.8% above plan, but packages are 6.2% below plan.
