The higher revenues were driven largely by price increases and continued growth in the Shipping and Packages business, where revenue increased $1.3 billion, or 6.1 percent, which more than offset revenue declines in First-Class and Marketing Mail as a result of declining volumes in that segment of its business.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px auto 1rem; color: #101820; font-family: HelveticaNeueW02-55Roma, 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol'; font-size: 17.5px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #f7f7f7; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\">The total volume of mail and packages delivered during the year declined by 3.8 billion pieces or 2.6 percent, driven largely by First-Class Mail declines of 1.8 billion pieces, or 3.1 percent, and Marketing Mail declines of 1.6 billion pieces, or 2.1 percent. Package volume grew slightly at 16 million pieces, or 0.3 percent, continuing a multi-year trend of declining mail volumes and increasing package volumes, although package volume growth slowed considerably during the year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px auto 1rem; color: #101820; font-family: HelveticaNeueW02-55Roma, 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol'; font-size: 17.5px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #f7f7f7; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\">\u201cWe continue to adjust to declining mail volume and remain focused on leveraging our unique and unrivaled network to gain new customers and grow profitable revenue in the increasingly competitive package business,\u201d said Postmaster General and CEO Megan J.

This was driven by an increase in workers compensation expense of $3.5 billion, of which $3.4 billion was directly the result of changes in discount rates outside of management&#8217;s control.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px auto 1rem; color: #101820; font-family: HelveticaNeueW02-55Roma, 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol'; font-size: 17.5px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #f7f7f7; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\">Compensation and benefits expenses increased by $994 million due to contractual wage increases, and retirement benefits expenses increased by $320 million due largely to the higher amortization costs of unfunded benefits. Transportation expenses increased by $323 million as the Postal Service continued to experience increases in fuel prices and highway contract rates.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px auto 1rem; color: #101820; font-family: HelveticaNeueW02-55Roma, 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol'; font-size: 17.5px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #f7f7f7; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\">As planned, the Postal Service reduced its debt level during 2019 by $2.2 billion, finishing the year with $11.0 billion in debt outstanding. This reduction allows the Postal Service to continue to reduce interest costs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px auto 1rem; color: #101820; font-family: HelveticaNeueW02-55Roma, 'Segoe UI', 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol'; font-size: 17.5px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #f7f7f7; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\">Controllable loss for the year was $3.4 billion, an increase of $1.5 billion compared to the prior year. The net loss for the year was $8.8 billion, an increase in net loss of $4.9 billion compared to 2018. Approximately $3.4 billion of this increase in net loss was the non-cash impact of discount rate changes on actuarial calculations affecting workers&#8217; compensation expense.<\/p>\n<p
