PRC Fiscal Year 2024 Budget Justification

The Commission released its Fiscal Year 2024 Budget Justification submitted earlier to the Postal Service Board of Governors in accordance with Title 39, United States Code, Section 205. Last week, the Commission submitted a revised budget request of $22.613 million for FY 2024 to the Postal Service Governors. The Commission submitted this revised request in response to correspondence and discussions with the Governors regarding the initial budget request of $23.399 million. The initial request sought to fund increases to fixed costs, including inflationary adjustments to wages and benefits, lease payments, and the addition of 5 full-time equivalent employees. The revised request only covers increases to the Commission’s fixed costs for FY 2024 and does not fund increased capacity in FY 2024.

Postmaster General and CEO Louis DeJoy’s Remarks During the Aug. 8, 2024, Postal Service Board of Governors Meeting

During this quarter we continued our aggressive efforts to stabilize service, implement necessary network initiatives, reduce costs, grow volume and revenue, and lead change both internally and externally. We addressed local pockets of deficient performance and made improvements. We expect these improvements to continue in the coming weeks. Despite significant weather events, service performance for market-dominant and competitive products improved when compared to last quarter — with 60 percent of market-dominant volume delivered early and 95 percent of volume delivered within a day of its service standard. And I’m happy to say, on average, our customers still receive their mail and packages in less than three days. These improvements are attributed to our focused persistence and cross-functional engagement, in areas where performance does not meet our high expectations.

Total net sales decreased (1.8) % to $2.81 billion in the third quarter compared to $2.86 billion in the same period last year, primarily the result of the 139 stores closed this year through the end of the third quarter.

For the third quarter, the Company's net loss was ($128) million, or ($0.41) per share, compared to a net loss of ($67) million, or ($0.22) per share in the same period last year.
