Delivered Significant Revenue and Earnings Growth Year-over-Year
Introduces CY 2026 Outlook
Expects Continued Revenue and Earnings Growth Momentum in June-through-December Transition Year

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- (Business Wire)

FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) today reported the following consolidated results for the fourth quarter ended May 31 (adjusted measures exclude the items listed below):

This year’s and last year’s quarterly consolidated results have been adjusted for:

Consolidated adjusted operating income improved in the fourth quarter, reflecting continued strength in U.S. Domestic and International Priority package yields, cost savings from transformation initiatives, and increased U.S. domestic and international export package volume.

“Team FedEx delivered an impressive finish to a strong fiscal year, providing excellent service to our customers and successfully executing on our transformation initiatives,” said Raj Subramaniam, FedEx Corp. president and chief executive officer. “Our profitable growth strategy is working. We are building momentum across our global industrial network, driving structural improvements and winning in high-value growth markets. With the successful spin-off of FedEx Freight, we are entering this next chapter positioned to grow while further optimizing our network, lowering our cost to serve, creating meaningful long-term value, and driving robust free cash flow.”

Fourth Quarter Results

Federal Express segment operating results improved during the quarter, driven by higher U.S. domestic and International Priority package yields, continued cost savings from transformation initiatives, and increased U.S. domestic and international export package volume. These factors were partially offset by increased purchased transportation and wage rates, higher variable incentive compensation expenses, and the financial impacts of global trade policy changes.

Fourth quarter results include a noncash impairment charge of $23 million ($0.07 per diluted share) from the decision to permanently retire 10 aircraft. Last year's fourth quarter results included a noncash impairment charge of $21 million ($0.07 per diluted share) from the decision to permanently retire 12 aircraft, plus eight related engines. These retirements are aligned with the company's fleet reduction and modernization strategy as the company continues to improve its global network efficiency and better align air network capacity with anticipated demand.

Full-Year Results

For the full fiscal year, FedEx Corporation reported the following consolidated results (adjusted measures exclude the items listed above for the applicable fiscal year):

Results reflect lower structural costs as the company exceeded its goal of $1 billion of transformation-related cost savings during the year.

Capital spending for fiscal 2026 totaled $3.8 billion, a decrease of $246 million, or 6%, compared with fiscal 2025. Capital spending as a percentage of revenue declined to 4.0%, the lowest annual level in FedEx Corporation history.

FedEx Freight Spin-off Completed

The spin-off of FedEx Freight into a new publicly traded company was finalized on June 1, 2026. In connection with the spin-off, FedEx Freight paid a cash dividend of approximately $4.1 billion to FedEx Corporation from the proceeds of the $3.7 billion senior notes offering completed in February 2026 and borrowings under its delayed-draw term loan facility.

FedEx Freight will host a call to discuss the company's fourth quarter results on June 25, 2026.

Fiscal Year Change

In January 2025, the FedEx Board of Directors approved a change in the company’s fiscal year end from May 31 to December 31. The fiscal year change became effective for the period beginning June 1, 2026.

Cash and Capital Returns

The ending cash and cash equivalents balance of $13.3 billion includes a $4.1 billion cash dividend from the FedEx Freight spin-off. The dividend will be utilized in a manner consistent with preserving the tax-free nature of the transaction. In addition, the reported cash balance includes approximately $800 million in IEEPA tariff refunds held for refund to customers.

During fiscal 2026, FedEx returned approximately $2.2 billion to stockholders through the combination of $776 million of stock repurchases and $1.4 billion of dividend payments. Repurchases during fiscal 2026 totaled approximately 3.3 million shares, or 1.4% of the shares outstanding at the beginning of the year, and increased fourth quarter and full-year earnings by $0.09 and $0.21 per share, respectively. As of May 31, 2026, $1.3 billion remained under the company's 2024 stock repurchase authorization.

For calendar 2026, FedEx remains committed to returning capital to stockholders, including the previously announced 5% increase in the annual dividend on its common stock, after adjusting for the FedEx Freight spin-off. The company also intends to repurchase up to $1 billion worth of shares opportunistically, leveraging continued balance sheet flexibility and free cash flow generation to offset dilution from equity compensation.

“Our fourth quarter and full-year results reflect the tenacity of the FedEx team to deliver steady adjusted operating income improvement year-over-year while navigating significant headwinds,” said Claude Russ, FedEx Corp. enterprise vice president, finance and interim chief financial officer. “As we look ahead, continued revenue and earnings growth momentum in our transition year positions us to unlock significant stockholder value through a resolute focus on driving unprecedented free cash flow growth.”

Outlook

For calendar year 2026, FedEx Corporation is forecasting:

These forecasts assume the company's current economic forecast and fuel price expectations, successful completion of planned stock repurchases, and no additional adverse economic, geopolitical, or international trade-related developments. FedEx’s ETR and EPS forecasts are based on current law and related regulations and guidance.

RECONCILIATIONS OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
TO GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Fiscal 2026 and Fiscal 2025 Results

The company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP” or “reported”). We have supplemented the reporting of our financial information determined in accordance with GAAP with certain non-GAAP (or “adjusted”) financial measures, including our adjusted fourth quarter and adjusted full-year fiscal 2026 and 2025 consolidated operating income and margin, net income, and diluted earnings per share, adjusted fourth quarter and adjusted full-year fiscal 2026 and 2025 Federal Express segment operating income and margin, and adjusted fourth quarter and adjusted full-year fiscal 2026 and 2025 FedEx Freight segment operating income and margin. These financial measures have been adjusted to exclude the impact of the following items (as applicable):

• MTM adjustments for retirement plan accounting incurred in fiscal 2026 and 2025;
• Costs related to the spin-off of FedEx Freight incurred in fiscal 2026 and 2025;
• Business optimization costs incurred in fiscal 2026 and 2025;
• Costs related to the change in the company's fiscal year-end incurred in fiscal 2026;
• Asset impairment charges incurred in fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025; and
• Adjustments related to international regulatory and legacy FedEx Ground legal matters incurred in fiscal 2026 and 2025.

In December 2024, FedEx announced that its Board of Directors decided to pursue a full separation of FedEx Freight through the capital markets, creating a new publicly traded company. The transaction was implemented through the spin-off of shares of the new company to FedEx stockholders on June 1, 2026, and is intended to be tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes for FedEx stockholders. We incurred costs related to the spin-off of FedEx Freight in the fourth quarter and full-year fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025. These costs were primarily related to professional fees.

Our business optimization costs relate to the following transformation initiatives aimed to improve long-term profitability, drive efficiency within and between our transportation segments, lower our overhead and support costs, and transform our digital capabilities: our Network 2.0 program, our international operational transformation programs, the Europe workforce reduction plan, and DRIVE initiatives commenced in prior years. We incurred costs related to these business optimization initiatives in the fourth quarter and full-year fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025. These costs were primarily related to severance, incentive payments to our contracted service providers, and professional services.

In January 2025, FedEx announced that its Board of Directors approved a change in the company's fiscal year end from May 31 to December 31, which became effective June 1, 2026. The company incurred costs related to the fiscal year change in the fourth quarter and full-year fiscal 2026. These costs were primarily related to professional fees.

The charges incurred in fiscal year 2025 in connection with an international regulatory matter were extraordinary in nature and did not represent recurring expenses in our ordinary course of business. For full-year fiscal 2026 financial measures, this item was reduced by a gain recognized in fiscal 2026 in connection with the partial reversal of the associated loss accrual. In addition, there were charges incurred in prior fiscal years 2023 and 2024 in connection with a legacy FedEx Ground legal matter. For full-year 2025 financial measures, this item was reduced by a gain recognized in fiscal 2025 in connection with the partial reversal of the associated loss accrual.

Costs related to the spin-off of FedEx Freight, business optimization costs, costs related to the change in the company's fiscal year-end, asset impairment charges, adjustments related to international regulatory and legacy FedEx Ground legal matters, as well as MTM adjustments for retirement plan accounting, are excluded from our fourth quarter and full-year fiscal 2026 and 2025 consolidated, Federal Express segment, and FedEx Freight segment non-GAAP financial measures, as applicable, because they are unrelated to our core operating performance and/or to assist investors with assessing trends in our underlying businesses.

The income tax effect of these costs is calculated based upon the tax laws and statutory income tax rates applicable in the tax jurisdiction(s) of the underlying non-GAAP adjustment. The impact of these non-GAAP items on the company's effective tax rate represents the difference in the effective tax rate calculated with and without the non-GAAP adjustment.

We believe these adjusted financial measures facilitate analysis and comparisons of our ongoing business operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, the company's and our business segments' core operating performance, and may assist investors with comparisons to prior periods and assessing trends in our underlying businesses. These adjustments are consistent with how management views our businesses. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and evaluating the company's and each business segments' ongoing performance.

Our non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement and should be read together with, and are not an alternative or substitute for, and should not be considered superior to, our reported financial results. Accordingly, users of our financial statements should not place undue reliance on these non-GAAP financial measures. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. As required by SEC rules, the tables below present a reconciliation of our presented non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Calendar 2026 Forecast and Calendar 2025 Earnings Per Share and Effective Tax Rate

We have provided forecasts for calendar 2026 earnings per share and adjusted earnings per share, which are derived from calendar year 2025 preliminary recasted results from continuing operations, which reflects FedEx Freight as discontinued operations. Our calendar 2026 earnings per share and adjusted earnings per share forecast and calendar 2025 earnings per share and adjusted earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures because they exclude calendar 2026 and 2025 MTM adjustments for retirement plan accounting, calendar 2026 estimated or calendar 2025 costs related to business optimization initiatives, calendar 2025 adjustments related to international regulatory and legacy FedEx Ground legal matters, calendar 2026 estimated costs related to the spin-off of FedEx Freight, calendar 2026 and 2025 asset impairment charges, and calendar 2026 and 2025 costs related to the fiscal year change. Our calendar 2026 ETR forecast and calendar 2025 ETR are non-GAAP financial measures because they exclude the effect of calendar 2026 and 2025 MTM adjustments for retirement plan accounting, and adjustments related to the MTM accounting for the FedEx Freight investment and the utilization of the FedEx Freight spin-off dividend.

We have provided these non-GAAP financial measures for the same reasons that were outlined above for historical non-GAAP measures. Actual and estimated costs related to business optimization initiatives, actual and estimated costs related to the spin-off of FedEx Freight, asset impairment charges, and costs related to the fiscal year change, as well as MTM adjustments for retirement plan accounting, are excluded from our calendar 2026 and 2025 earnings per share forecasts for the same reasons described above for historical non-GAAP measures.

We are unable to predict the amount of additional calendar 2026 MTM adjustments for retirement plan accounting, and adjustments related to MTM accounting for the FedEx Freight investment and utilization of the FedEx Freight spin-off dividend, as they are significantly affected by changes in interest rates and the financial markets, so such additional adjustments are not included in our calendar 2026 earnings per share and ETR forecasts. For this reason, a full reconciliation of our calendar 2026 earnings per share and ETR forecasts to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is impracticable. It is reasonably possible, however, that our additional calendar 2026 MTM adjustments for retirement plan accounting, and adjustments related to MTM accounting for the FedEx Freight investment and utilization of the FedEx Freight spin-off dividend, could have a material effect on our calendar 2026 consolidated financial results and ETR.

The table included below titled “Calendar 2026 Forecasted Diluted Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations” outlines the effects of the items that are excluded from our calendar 2026 earnings per share forecast, other than the additional MTM adjustments for retirement plan accounting, and adjustments related to MTM accounting for the FedEx Freight investment and utilization of the FedEx Freight spin-off dividend. The table included below titled “Calendar 2025 Diluted Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations” outlines the effects of the items that are excluded from our calendar 2025 earnings per share.
