FEDEX CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS SEGMENTS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS SEGMENTS. FedEx Corporation (“FedEx”) provides a broad portfolio of transportation, e-commerce, and business services, offering integrated business solutions utilizing our flexible, efficient, and intelligent global network. Our primary operating companies are Federal Express Corporation (“Federal Express”), the world’s largest express transportation company and a leading North American provider of small-package ground delivery services, and FedEx Freight, Inc. (“FedEx Freight”), a leading North American provider of less-than-truckload (“LTL”) freight transportation services.

Following our one FedEx consolidation, Federal Express operates a unified, fully integrated air-ground express network under the respected FedEx brand. FedEx Freight provides LTL freight transportation services as a separate subsidiary. Federal Express and FedEx Freight represent our major service lines and constitute our reportable segments.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES. These interim financial statements of FedEx have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) instructions for interim financial information, and should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2025 (“Annual Report”). Significant accounting policies and other disclosures normally provided have been omitted since such items are disclosed in our Annual Report.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly our financial position as of August 31, 2025, and the results of our operations, cash flows, and changes in common stockholders’ investment for the three-month periods ended August 31, 2025 and 2024. Operating results for the three-month period ended August 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending May 31, 2026. Except as otherwise specified, references to years indicate our fiscal year ending May 31, 2026 or ended May 31 of the year referenced, and comparisons are to the corresponding period of the prior year.

The identification of costs as business optimization and separation and other costs is subject to our disclosure controls and procedures.

CONTRACT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES. Contract assets include billed and unbilled amounts resulting from in-transit shipments, as we have an unconditional right to payment only once all performance obligations have been completed (e.g., packages have been delivered). Contract assets are generally classified as current, and the full balance is converted each quarter based on the short-term nature of the transactions. Our contract liabilities consist of advance payments and billings in excess of revenue. The full balance of deferred revenue is converted each quarter based on the short-term nature of the transactions.

Gross contract assets related to in-transit shipments totaled $645 million and $673 million at August 31, 2025 and May 31, 2025, respectively. Contract assets net of deferred unearned revenue were $536 million and $526 million at August 31, 2025 and May 31, 2025, respectively. Contract assets are included within “Receivables” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Contract liabilities related to advance payments from customers were $20 million and $23 million at August 31, 2025 and May 31, 2025, respectively. Contract liabilities are included within “Accrued expenses” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

DISAGGREGATION OF REVENUE. See Note 7 for disclosure of disaggregated revenue for the periods ended August 31, 2025 and 2024. This presentation is consistent with how we organize our segments internally for making operating decisions and measuring performance.

EMPLOYEES UNDER COLLECTIVE BARGAINING ARRANGEMENTS. Our pilots, who are a small number of our total employees, are represented by the Air Line Pilots Association, International (“ALPA”) and are employed under a collective bargaining agreement that took effect on November 2, 2015. The agreement became amendable in November 2021. Bargaining for a successor agreement began in May 2021, and in November 2022 the National Mediation Board (“NMB”), which is the U.S. governmental agency that oversees labor agreements for entities covered by the Railway Labor Act of 1926, as amended, began actively mediating the negotiations. In July 2023, the pilots failed to ratify the tentative successor agreement that was approved by ALPA’s FedEx Master Executive Council the prior month. In April 2024, the NMB rejected ALPA’s request for a proffer of arbitration. Bargaining for a successor agreement continues. The conduct of mediated negotiations has no effect on our operations. Once a new agreement is ratified, we may amend our pension plan offered to the pilots, which would result in a remeasurement of our pension benefit obligation. A small number of our other employees are members of unions.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION. We have three types of equity-based compensation: stock options, restricted stock, and, for outside directors, restricted stock units. The key terms of our equity-based compensation plans and financial disclosures about these

-9-

Table of Contents

programs are set forth in our Annual Report. Our stock-based compensation expense was $56 million and $48 million for the three-month periods ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024, respectively. Due to its immateriality, additional disclosures related to stock-based compensation have been excluded from this quarterly report.

BUSINESS OPTIMIZATION COSTS. Our business optimization costs relate to 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. Costs included in the “Business optimization costs” caption of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income relate to our Network 2.0 program, the Europe workforce reduction plan, and other DRIVE initiatives commenced in prior years.

We incurred business optimization costs of $67 million ($52 million, net of tax, or $0.22 per diluted share) in the three-month period ended August 31, 2025 and $128 million ($98 million, net of tax, or $0.39 per diluted share) in the three-month period ended August 31, 2024. These costs were primarily related to professional services and severance and are included in Corporate, other, and eliminations and Federal Express.

Network 2.0

Network 2.0 is our multi-year effort to improve the efficiency with which FedEx picks up, transports, and delivers packages in the U.S. and Canada. Through Network 2.0, we continue to consolidate our sortation facilities and equipment, reduce pickup-and-delivery routes, and optimize our enterprise linehaul network by moving beyond discrete collaboration to an end-to-end optimized network. We have implemented Network 2.0 optimization in approximately 360 locations in the U.S and Canada as of August 31, 2025. Service providers will handle the pickup and delivery of Federal Express packages in some locations while employee couriers will handle others. We completed Canada’s implementation of Network 2.0 in the fourth quarter of 2025 and expect to complete the U.S. implementation by the end of calendar 2027.

Europe workforce reduction plan

Our workforce reduction plan in Europe to reduce structural costs announced in June 2024 continues and is expected to impact approximately 1,400 employees across back-office and commercial functions. The execution of the plan is subject to a consultation process that is expected to occur over an 18-month period in accordance with local country processes and regulations. We expect savings from the plan to be approximately $150 million on an annualized basis beginning in calendar 2026.

We expect the pre-tax cost of the severance benefits and legal and professional fees to be provided under and related to the plan to be approximately $250 million. These charges are expected to be incurred through fiscal 2026 and will be classified as business optimization expenses. In the three-month period ended August 31, 2025, we incurred $3 million of costs related to this plan. The timing and amount of our business optimization expenses and the related cost savings from the workforce reduction plan may change as we revise and implement our plans.

SEPARATION AND OTHER COSTS.

FedEx Freight separation

In December 2024, we announced that FedEx’s Board of Directors decided to pursue a full separation of FedEx Freight through the capital markets, creating a new publicly traded company. The transaction, which will be implemented through the spin-off of shares of the new company to FedEx stockholders, is expected to be tax-free for U.S. federal income tax purposes for FedEx stockholders and be completed by June 2026.

We incurred costs related to the planned spin-off of FedEx Freight of $43 million ($33 million, net of tax, or $0.14 per diluted share) in the three-month period ended August 31, 2025. These costs consist of $41 million primarily related to professional services included in the “Separation and other costs” caption of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income, and $2 million included in the “Other, net” caption of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. These costs are included in Corporate, other, and eliminations; FedEx Freight; and Federal Express. We did not incur any FedEx Freight spin-off costs in the first quarter of 2025.

Fiscal year change

In January 2025, the Board of Directors approved a change in FedEx’s fiscal year end from May 31 to December 31. The planned fiscal year change is expected to be effective June 1, 2026. We incurred costs related to the fiscal year change of $4 million ($3 million, net of tax, or $0.01 per diluted share) in the three-month period ended August 31, 2025. These costs were primarily related to professional services included in the “Separation and other costs” caption of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and are included in Federal Express. We did not incur any costs related to the fiscal year change in the first quarter of 2025.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS. We enter into derivative financial instruments to reduce the effects of volatility in foreign currency exchange exposure on operating results and cash flows. Our derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of cash receipts and cash payments principally related to our investments. We use debt denominated in foreign currency and fixed-to-fixed cross-currency swaps to hedge our exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates on certain of our foreign investments.

As of August 31, 2025, we had €845 million of debt designated as a net investment hedge to reduce the volatility of the U.S. dollar value of a portion of our net investment in a euro-denominated consolidated subsidiary.

As of August 31, 2025, we had four cross-currency swaps outstanding, and the fair value of the swaps classified as assets and liabilities was $12 million and $119 million, respectively. As of May 31, 2025, the fair value of the swaps classified as assets and liabilities was $13 million and $108 million, respectively. We record all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value within either “Prepaid expenses and other” or “Other liabilities” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. For debt and foreign currency derivatives designated as net investment hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative is reported in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” (“AOCL”) as part of the cumulative translation adjustment. The estimated fair values were determined using pricing models that rely on market-based inputs such as foreign currency exchange rates and yield curves and are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. This classification is defined as a fair value determined using market-based inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the derivative financial instruments, either directly or indirectly.

As of August 31, 2025, our net investment hedges remain effective.

SUPPLIER FINANCE PROGRAM. We offer voluntary Supply Chain Finance (“SCF”) programs through financial institutions to certain of our suppliers. We agree to commercial terms with our suppliers, including prices, quantities, and payment terms, and they issue invoices to us based on the agreed-upon contractual terms. If our suppliers choose to participate in the SCF programs, they determine which invoices, if any, to sell to the financial institutions to receive an early discounted payment, while we settle the net payment amount with the financial institutions on the payment due dates. We guarantee these payments with the financial institutions.

Amounts due to our suppliers that participate in the SCF programs are included in “Accounts payable” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. We have been informed by the participating financial institutions that as of August 31, 2025 and May 31, 2025, suppliers have been approved to sell to them $116 million and $71 million, respectively, of our outstanding payment obligations. A rollforward of obligations confirmed and paid during the three-month periods ended August 31 is presented below (in millions):


	2025		2024
Confirmed obligations outstanding at beginning of period	$	71	$	94
Invoices confirmed during the period	186		164
Confirmed invoices paid during the period	(143)		(185)
Currency translation adjustments	2		2
Confirmed obligations outstanding at end of period	$	116	$	75

INVESTMENTS IN EQUITY AND DEBT SECURITIES. Investments in equity securities with a readily determinable fair value are carried at fair value and are classified as Level 1 investments in the fair value hierarchy. Level 1 investments are valued at the closing price or last trade reported on the major market on which the individual securities are traded. For equity securities without readily determinable fair values that qualify for the net asset value (“NAV”) practical expedient, we have elected to apply the NAV practical expedient to estimate fair value. Changes in fair value are recognized in “Other (expense) income” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income.

We apply the measurement alternative to all other investments in equity securities without a readily determinable fair value. Under the measurement alternative these equity securities are accounted for at cost, with adjustments for observable changes in prices and impairments recognized in “Other (expense) income” on our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income.

We perform an assessment each reporting period to evaluate whether these equity securities are impaired. Our assessment includes a review of recent operating results and trends and other publicly available data. If an investment is impaired, we write it down to its estimated fair value.

Equity securities totaled $535 million and $506 million at August 31, 2025 and May 31, 2025, respectively. Equity securities are recorded within “Other assets” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Debt securities, which are considered short-term investments, are classified as “available-for-sale” and are carried at fair value. Debt securities are Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Realized gains and losses on available-for-sale debt securities are included in net

-11-

Table of Contents

income, while unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, are included in AOCL in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Debt securities totaled $71 million and $70 million at August 31, 2025 and May 31, 2025, respectively. Debt securities are recorded within “Prepaid expenses and other” in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

TREASURY SHARES. In March 2024, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program for repurchases of up to $5.0 billion of FedEx common stock. During the three-month period ended August 31, 2025, 2.2 million shares were repurchased through open market transactions under this program at an average price of $232.25 per share for a total of $500 million.

During the three-month period ended August 31, 2024, 3.4 million shares were repurchased under our previous Board-authorized 2021 and 2024 repurchase programs through accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreements with two banks at an average price of $295.99 per share for a total of $1.0 billion. The final number of shares delivered upon settlement of the ASR agreements was determined based on a discount to the volume-weighted average price of our stock during the term of the transaction. The repurchased shares were accounted for as a reduction to common stockholders’ investment in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and resulted in a reduction of the outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted-average common shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share.

As of August 31, 2025, $1.6 billion remained available to use for repurchases under our 2024 stock repurchase program. Shares may be repurchased from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and volume of repurchases are at the discretion of management, based on the capital needs of the business, the market price of FedEx common stock, and general market conditions. No time limits were set for the completion of the program; however, we may decide to suspend or discontinue the program at any time.

DIVIDENDS DECLARED PER COMMON SHARE. On August 7, 2025, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.45 per share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on October 1, 2025 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 8, 2025. On June 9, 2025, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.45 per share of common stock. The dividend was paid on July 8, 2025 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 23, 2025. Each quarterly dividend payment is subject to review and approval by our Board of Directors, and we evaluate our dividend payment amount on an annual basis. There are no material restrictions on our ability to declare dividends, nor are there any material restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to transfer funds to us in the form of cash dividends, loans, or advances.

RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE. New accounting rules and disclosure requirements can significantly affect our reported results and the comparability of our financial statements. We believe the following new accounting guidance is relevant to the readers of our financial statements.

New Accounting Standards and Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which simplifies the application of the current expected credit loss model for current accounts receivable and current contract assets under Accounting Standards Codification 606. The update is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. We are assessing the effect of this update on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, effective for our 2026 annual financial statements. The new requirements will primarily affect the annual financial statement disclosures, with enhanced detail regarding the amount of cash taxes paid and the reconciliation of our effective tax rate.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement–Reporting Comprehensive Income–Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which expands disclosures about specific expense categories at interim and annual reporting periods. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. We are assessing the effect of this update on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 2: CREDIT LOSSES

We are exposed to credit losses primarily through our trade receivables. We assess ability to pay for certain customers by conducting a credit review, which considers the customer’s established credit rating and our assessment of creditworthiness. We determine the allowance for credit losses on accounts receivable using a combination of specific reserves for accounts that are deemed to exhibit credit loss indicators and general reserves that are determined using loss rates based on historical write-offs by geography and recent forecast information, including underlying economic expectations. We update our estimate of credit loss reserves quarterly.

-12-

Table of Contents

Credit losses were $219 million for the three-month period ended August 31, 2025 and $129 million for the three-month period ended August 31, 2024. Our allowance for credit losses was $492 million at August 31, 2025 and $438 million at May 31, 2025.

NOTE 3: ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

The following table provides changes in AOCL, net of tax, reported in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended August 31, 2025 and August 31, 2024 (in millions; amounts in parentheses indicate debits to AOCL):


	Three Months Ended

Foreign currency translation loss:
Balance at beginning of period		$	(1,420)	$	(1,422)
Translation adjustments		(7)		29

Reclassifications from AOCL		(2)		(2)
Balance at end of period		56		61
AOCL at end of period		$	(1,371)	$	(1,332)

NOTE 4: FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

We have a shelf registration statement filed with the SEC that allows us to sell, in one or more future offerings, any combination of our unsecured debt securities and common stock and allows pass-through trusts formed by Federal Express to sell, in one or more future offerings, pass-through certificates.

Long-Term Debt

On July 30, 2025, we issued €850 million of senior unsecured debt under our current shelf registration statement, comprised of €500 million of 3.50% fixed-rate notes due in July 2032 and €350 million of 4.125% fixed-rate notes due in July 2037. We used a portion of the net proceeds to repay the €500 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 0.45% notes due at maturity in August 2025. The remaining net proceeds may be used for general corporate purposes.

Long-term debt, including current maturities and exclusive of finance leases, had carrying values of $20.4 billion at August 31, 2025 and $19.9 billion at May 31, 2025, with estimated fair values of $18.2 billion at August 31, 2025 and $17.2 billion at May 31, 2025. The annualized weighted-average interest rate on long-term debt was 3.6% at August 31, 2025. The estimated fair values were determined based on quoted market prices and the current rates offered for debt with similar terms and maturities. The fair value of our long-term debt is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

Federal Express has issued $970 million of Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-1AA (the “Certificates”) with a fixed interest rate of 1.875% due in February 2034 utilizing pass-through trusts. The Certificates are secured by 19 Boeing aircraft with a net book value of $1.6 billion at August 31, 2025. The payment obligations of Federal Express in respect of the Certificates are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by FedEx.

Credit Agreements

We have a $1.75 billion three-year credit agreement (the “Three-Year Credit Agreement”) and a $1.75 billion five-year credit agreement (the “Five-Year Credit Agreement” and together with the Three-Year Credit Agreement, the “Credit Agreements”). The Three-Year Credit Agreement and the Five-Year Credit Agreement expire in March 2027 and March 2029, respectively, and each has a $125 million letter of credit sublimit. The Credit Agreements are available to finance our operations and other cash flow needs. As of August 31, 2025, no amounts were outstanding under the Credit Agreements, no commercial paper was outstanding, and we had $250 million of the letter of credit sublimit unused under the Credit Agreements. Our commercial paper program is backed by unused commitments under the Credit Agreements, and borrowings under the program reduce the amount available under the Credit Agreements.

The Credit Agreements contain a financial covenant requiring us to maintain a ratio of debt to consolidated earnings (excluding noncash retirement plans mark-to-market adjustments, noncash pension service costs, noncash asset impairment charges, business optimization and restructuring expenses, and pro forma cost savings and synergies associated with an acquisition) before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”) of not more than 3.5 to 1.0, calculated as of the last day of each fiscal quarter on a rolling four-quarters basis. The ratio of our debt to adjusted EBITDA was 1.9 at August 31, 2025. Additional information on the financial covenant can be found in our Annual Report.

-13-

Table of Contents

The financial covenant discussed above is the only significant restrictive covenant in the Credit Agreements. The Credit Agreements contain other customary covenants that do not, individually or in the aggregate, materially restrict the conduct of our business. We are in compliance with the financial covenant and all other covenants in the Credit Agreements and do not expect the covenants to affect our operations, including our liquidity or expected funding needs. If we failed to comply with the financial covenant or any other covenants in the Credit Agreements, our access to financing could become limited.

For 2026, no pension contributions are required for our tax-qualified U.S. domestic pension plan (“U.S. Pension Plan”) as it is fully funded under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. We made voluntary contributions of $200 million to our U.S. Pension Plan during the three-month period ended August 31, 2025.

NOTE 7: BUSINESS SEGMENTS AND DISAGGREGATED REVENUE

Federal Express and FedEx Freight represent our major service lines and constitute our reportable segments. Our reportable segments include the following businesses:


Federal Express Segment			Federal Express (express transportation, small-package ground delivery, and freight transportation)

FedEx Freight Segment			FedEx Freight (LTL freight transportation) FedEx Custom Critical, Inc. (time-critical transportation)

References to our transportation segments include, collectively, the Federal Express segment and the FedEx Freight segment.

Our Chief Executive Officer is our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The CODM is responsible for the company’s operating strategy, growth, and profitability and reviews financial information for our two reportable segments. The CODM uses operating income as the primary measure of segment performance because it reflects the underlying business performance and provides the CODM with a basis for making resource allocation decisions. Operating income is defined as income before other income (expense), interest expense and income tax expense. Our CODM also utilizes operating income in the annual budget and monthly forecasting processes and considers forecast-to-actual variances on a monthly basis, when making resource allocation decisions. Our CODM regularly reviews significant expense details, which include salaries and employee benefits, purchased transportation, rentals and landing fees, depreciation and amortization, fuel, maintenance and repairs, separation and other costs, business optimization costs, and other operating expenses. These expense categories are included within operating expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and are used by the CODM in assessing performance and allocating resources.

The Federal Express segment operates combined sales, marketing, administrative, and information-technology functions in shared service operations for U.S. customers of our major business units and certain back-office support to FedEx Freight and our other operating segments which allows us to obtain synergies from the combination of these functions. We allocate the net operating costs of these services to reflect the full cost of operating our businesses in the results of those segments. We review and evaluate the performance of FedEx Freight and our other operating segments based on operating income inclusive of these allocations.

Operating expenses for our FedEx Freight segment include allocations of these services from the Federal Express segment. These allocations also include charges and credits for administrative services provided between operating companies. The allocations of net operating costs are based on metrics such as relative revenue or estimated services provided. We believe these allocations approximate the net cost of providing these functions. Our allocation methodologies are refined periodically, as necessary, to reflect changes in our businesses.

Corporate, Other, and Eliminations

Corporate and other includes corporate headquarters costs for executive officers and certain legal and finance functions, certain other costs and credits not attributed to our core business, and certain costs associated with developing integrated business solutions through our FedEx Dataworks, Inc. (“FedEx Dataworks”) operating segment. FedEx Dataworks is focused on creating solutions to transform the digital and physical experiences of our customers and team members.

Also included in Corporate and other is the FedEx Office and Print Services, Inc. (“FedEx Office”) operating segment, which provides an array of document and business services and retail access to our customers for our package transportation businesses, and the FedEx Logistics, Inc. (“FedEx Logistics”) operating segment, which provides integrated supply chain management solutions, specialty transportation, customs brokerage, and global ocean and air freight forwarding.

The results of Corporate, other, and eliminations are not allocated to the other business segments.

Certain FedEx operating companies provide transportation and related services for other FedEx companies outside their reportable segment in order to optimize our resources. Billings for such services are based on negotiated rates and are reflected as revenue of the billing segment. These rates are adjusted from time to time based on market conditions. Such intersegment revenue and expenses are eliminated in our consolidated results and are not separately identified in the following segment information because the amounts are not material.

As of August 31, 2025, FedEx has entered into additional leases which have not yet commenced and are therefore not part of the right-of-use asset and liability. These leases are generally for build-to-suit facilities and have undiscounted future payments of approximately $1 billion that will commence when FedEx gains beneficial access to the leased asset. Commencement dates are expected to be from calendar years 2025 to 2026.

NOTE 9: CONTINGENCIES

Litigation Matters. FedEx and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal proceedings and claims, including lawsuits alleging that Federal Express should be treated as the employer or joint employer of drivers employed by service providers engaged by Federal Express, lawsuits containing various class-action allegations of wage-and-hour violations in which plaintiffs claim, among other things, that they were forced to work “off the clock,” were not paid overtime, or were not provided work breaks or other benefits, and lawsuits alleging that FedEx and its subsidiaries are responsible for third-party losses related to vehicle accidents that could exceed our insurance coverage for such losses. In the opinion of management, the aggregate liability, if any, with respect to these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Environmental Matters. SEC regulations require us to disclose certain information about proceedings arising under federal, state, or local environmental provisions involving a governmental authority as a party if we reasonably believe that such proceedings may result in monetary sanctions above a stated threshold. Pursuant to the SEC regulations, FedEx uses a threshold of $1 million or more for purposes of determining whether disclosure of any such proceedings is required. Applying this threshold, there are no environmental matters required to be disclosed for this period.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

FedEx Corporation

Results of Review of Interim Financial Statements

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of FedEx Corporation (the Company) as of August 31, 2025, the related condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in common stockholders’ investment, and cash flows for the three-month periods ended August 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “condensed consolidated interim financial statements”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of May 31, 2025, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in common stockholders’ investment, and cash flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (not presented herein); and in our report dated July 21, 2025, we expressed an unqualified audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2025, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the PCAOB. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial statements consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

GENERAL

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition (“MD&A”) describes the principal factors affecting the results of operations, liquidity, capital resources, and critical accounting estimates of FedEx Corporation (“FedEx”). This discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying quarterly unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2025 (“Annual Report”). Our Annual Report includes additional information about our significant accounting policies, practices, and the transactions that underlie our financial results, as well as a detailed discussion of the most significant risks and uncertainties associated with our financial condition and operating results.

We provide a broad portfolio of transportation, e-commerce, and business services, offering integrated business solutions utilizing our flexible, efficient, and intelligent global network. Our primary operating companies are Federal Express Corporation (“Federal Express”), the world’s largest express transportation company and a leading North American provider of small-package ground delivery services, and FedEx Freight, Inc. (“FedEx Freight”), a leading North American provider of less-than-truckload (“LTL”) freight transportation services. See “Reportable Segments” for further discussion. Additional information on our businesses can be found in our Annual Report.

In January 2025, the Board of Directors approved a change in FedEx’s fiscal year end from May 31 to December 31. The planned fiscal year change is expected to be effective June 1, 2026.

Except as otherwise specified, references to years indicate our fiscal year ending May 31, 2026 or ended May 31 of the year referenced, and comparisons are to the corresponding period of the prior year. References to our transportation segments include, collectively, the Federal Express segment and the FedEx Freight segment.

The key indicators necessary to understand our operating results include:

•the overall customer demand for our various services based on macroeconomic factors and the global economy;

•the volumes of transportation services provided through our networks, primarily measured by our average daily volume and shipment weight and size;

•the mix of services purchased by our customers;

•the prices we obtain for our services, primarily measured by yield (revenue per package or pound, revenue per shipment, or hundredweight for LTL freight shipments);

•our ability to manage our cost structure (capital expenditures and operating expenses) to match shifting volume levels; and

•the timing and amount of fluctuations in fuel prices and our ability to recover incremental fuel costs through our fuel surcharges.

Trends Affecting Our Business

The following trends significantly affect the indicators discussed above, as well as our business and operating results. See the risk factors identified under Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report, as updated by our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, for more information. Additionally, see “Results of Operations – Consolidated Results – Business Optimization Costs and – Outlook” and “Financial Condition – Liquidity Outlook” below for additional information on efforts we are taking to mitigate adverse trends.

Macroeconomic Conditions

While macroeconomic risks apply to most companies, we are particularly vulnerable. The transportation industry is highly cyclical and especially susceptible to trends in economic activity. Our primary business is to transport goods, so our business levels are directly tied to the purchase and production of goods and the rate of global trade growth. The decline in U.S. imports of consumer goods that

-22-

Table of Contents

started in late 2022, along with slowed global industrial production, has contributed to weakened business conditions for the transportation industry. Consequently, this environment has led to lower shipments at FedEx Freight, negatively affecting our results in the first quarter of 2026.

Additionally, since the third quarter of 2025 there have been significant changes within the global trade environment, such as the August 2025 removal of the de minimis exemption for goods imported into the U.S. from countries other than China. The uncertain and evolving global trade environment has contributed to lower international export package volumes, negatively affecting our results in the first quarter of 2026. Continued uncertainty and volatility in the global trade environment could lead to further weakened business conditions for the transportation industry.

Inflation and Interest Rates

During the first quarter of 2026, global inflation moderated year-over-year but continued to be elevated. Additionally, global interest rates remained steady in an effort to curb inflation. We are experiencing pressure on demand for our transportation services, particularly our priority services, as stagnant inflation and interest rates continue to negatively affect consumer and business spending. We expect inflation and elevated interest rates to continue to negatively affect our results of operations for the remainder of 2026. The changes in trade policy discussed above under “Macroeconomic Conditions” could also exacerbate global inflation.

Fuel

We must purchase large quantities of fuel to operate our aircraft and vehicles, and the price and availability of fuel is beyond our control and can be highly volatile. The timing and amount of fluctuations in fuel prices and our ability to recover incremental fuel costs through our fuel surcharges can significantly affect our operating results either positively or negatively in the short-term. During the first quarter of 2026, lower fuel prices negatively affected yields due to lower fuel surcharges and led to reduced fuel expense at both of our transportation segments.

Geopolitical Conflicts

Given the nature of our business and global operations, geopolitical conflicts may adversely affect our business and results of operations. While we do not expect ongoing geopolitical conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and in the Middle East, or escalations thereof, to have a direct material effect on our business or results of operations, the broader consequences are adversely affecting the global economy and may also have the effect of heightening other risks disclosed under Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors.”

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Many of our operating expenses are directly affected by revenue and volume levels, and we expect these operating expenses to fluctuate on a year-over-year basis consistent with changes in revenue and volumes. Therefore, the discussion of operating expense captions focuses on the key drivers and trends affecting expenses other than those factors strictly related to changes in revenue and volumes. The line item “Other” includes costs associated with outside service contracts (such as information technology services, temporary labor, security, and facilities services), insurance, professional fees, and credit losses.

Corporate, other, and eliminations	(74)		—
	$	665	$	106

Overview

Operating income increased 10% in the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to improved yields for our U.S. domestic and international priority package services, structural cost reductions from business optimization initiatives, including from DRIVE initiatives commenced in prior years, and higher U.S. domestic package demand at Federal Express. Operating income for the first quarter of 2026 was negatively affected by increased operating expenses, decreased yields for our international economy package services, lower international package export volume reflecting the negative impacts from the volatile global trade environment, the expiration of our contract with the U.S. Postal Service (“USPS”) on September 29, 2024, and lower revenue at FedEx Freight primarily due to macroeconomic conditions.

Operating income includes business optimization costs of $67 million ($52 million, net of tax, or $0.22 per diluted share) in the first quarter of 2026 related to initiatives to reduce structural and overhead costs and to drive efficiency through Network 2.0. We incurred business optimization costs of $128 million ($98 million, net of tax, or $0.39 per diluted share) in the first quarter of 2025 related to our transformation initiatives. See the “Business Optimization Costs” section of this MD&A for more information.

We incurred costs related to the planned spin-off of FedEx Freight of $43 million ($33 million, net of tax, or $0.14 per diluted share) in the first quarter of 2026. These costs consist of $41 million primarily related to professional services included in the “Separation and other costs” caption of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income, and $2 million included in the “Other, net” caption of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. These costs are included in Corporate, other, and eliminations; FedEx Freight; and Federal Express. We did not incur any FedEx Freight spin-off costs in the first quarter of 2025.

We repurchased $500 million of our common stock in the first quarter of 2026 through open market transactions. Share repurchases had a benefit of $0.02 per diluted share for the first quarter of 2026. As of August 31, 2025, $1.6 billion remained available to be used for repurchases under the 2024 stock repurchase program.

Revenue

Revenue increased 3% in the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to base yield improvements, higher volume, and favorable exchange rates at Federal Express, partially offset by the expiration of our contract with the USPS, lower fuel surcharges, and lower shipments and base yields at FedEx Freight.

Federal Express segment revenue increased 4% in the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to improved base yields, increased U.S. domestic and international economy package volumes, and favorable exchange rates, partially offset by the expiration of our contract with the USPS, lower international priority package volume including the negative impacts from global trade policies, and lower fuel surcharges. FedEx Freight revenue decreased 3% in the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to due to lower volume and lower base yields. Revenue at Corporate, other, and eliminations decreased in the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to lower yields and demand at FedEx Logistics, Inc. (“FedEx Logistics”).

Operating income for the first quarter of 2026 was negatively affected by increased operating expenses, decreased yields for our international economy package services, lower international package volume including the negative impacts from global trade policies, the expiration of our contract with the USPS, and lower revenue at FedEx Freight primarily due to macroeconomic conditions.

-27-

Table of Contents

Salaries and employee benefits expense increased 4% in the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to an increase in wage rates, unfavorable exchange rates, and higher employee benefits, partially offset by lower variable incentive compensation. Purchased transportation expense increased 4% in the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to higher rates and volume. Other operating expenses increased 7% in the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to higher professional fees, credit losses, and self-insurance accruals. Fuel expense decreased 19% in the first quarter of 2026 due to lower fuel prices and the expiration of our contract with the USPS.

Business Optimization Costs

Our business optimization costs related to 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. Costs included in the “Business optimization costs” caption of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income relate to our Network 2.0 program, the Europe workforce reduction plan, and other DRIVE initiatives commenced in prior years.

We incurred business optimization costs of $67 million ($52 million, net of tax, or $0.22 per diluted share) in the first quarter of 2026, and $128 million ($98 million, net of tax, or $0.39 per diluted share) in the first quarter of 2025. These costs were primarily related to professional services and severance and are included in Corporate, other, and eliminations and Federal Express.

Network 2.0

Europe workforce reduction plan

Our workforce reduction plan in Europe to reduce structural costs continues and is expected to impact approximately 1,400 employees across back-office and commercial functions. The execution of the plan is subject to a consultation process that is expected to occur over an 18-month period in accordance with local country processes and regulations. We expect savings from the plan to be approximately $150 million on an annualized basis beginning in calendar 2026.

We expect the pre-tax cost of the severance benefits and legal and professional fees to be provided under and related to the plan to be approximately $250 million in cash expenditures. These charges are expected to be incurred through fiscal year 2026 and will be classified as business optimization expenses. In the first quarter of 2026, we incurred $3 million of costs related to this plan. The timing and amount of our business optimization expenses and the related cost savings from the workforce reduction plan may change as we revise and implement our plans.

Separation and Other Costs

FedEx Freight separation

Fiscal year change

We incurred costs related to the fiscal year change of $4 million ($3 million, net of tax, or $0.01 per diluted share) in the first quarter of 2026. These costs were primarily related to professional fees and are included in Federal Express. We did not incur any fiscal year change costs in the first quarter of 2025.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was 27.3% for the first quarter of 2026 compared to 24.8% for the first quarter of 2025. The first quarter 2026 tax rate was unfavorably impacted by a non-recurring income tax expense of $16 million ($0.07 per diluted share) primarily as the result of an examination of prior year tax return filings.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was signed into law. Certain provisions within the act are interdependent and have implications for both the effective tax rate and cash taxes. We are currently in the process of evaluating these provisions.

We are subject to taxation in the U.S. and various U.S. state, local, and foreign jurisdictions. We are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for the 2016 through 2021 tax years. It is reasonably possible that certain income tax return proceedings will be completed during the next 12 months and could result in a change in our balance of unrecognized tax benefits. However, we believe we have recorded adequate amounts of tax, including interest and penalties, for any adjustments expected to occur.

During 2021, we filed suit in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Tennessee challenging the validity of a tax regulation related to the one-time transition tax on unrepatriated foreign earnings, which was enacted as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”). Our lawsuit sought to have the court declare this regulation invalid and order the refund of overpayments of U.S. federal income taxes for 2018 and 2019 attributable to the denial of foreign tax credits under the regulation. We have recorded a cumulative benefit of $249 million attributable to our interpretation of the TCJA and the Internal Revenue Code. In March 2023, the District Court ruled that the regulation is invalid and contradicts the plain terms of the tax code. On February 13, 2025, the District Court ruled again in our favor with regard to a new argument raised by the U.S. government. On June 4, 2025, the District Court validated the amount of refunds owed for 2018 and 2019, which includes the foreign tax credits previously denied. On August 1, 2025, the U.S. government filed a notice to appeal the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. If we are ultimately unsuccessful in defending our position, we may be required to reverse the benefit previously recorded.

Outlook

The uncertainty over the current trade and geopolitical environment and the impact it may continue to have on customer demand and shipping patterns globally makes expectations for our 2026 operating and financial performance inherently less clear. However, based on the current trends, we expect the industrial economy to continue pressuring demand for our higher-yielding business-to-business services in the near term, and service mix to continue shifting further toward deferred service offerings. We also expect the global trade environment to continue pressuring demand for our services, both internationally and in the U.S.

To mitigate demand challenges, we will continue to execute on our revenue quality strategy through surcharge management and optimizing our customer and service mix and alignment of our cost base with demand. We will also continue our focus on business optimization, where we expect to see an incremental $1.0 billion in structural cost reduction benefits from DRIVE and Network 2.0 in 2026.

See the “Business Optimization Costs” section of this MD&A for additional information on our transformation initiatives, including our Network 2.0 program and workforce reduction plan in Europe.

Our capital expenditures for 2026 are expected to be approximately $4.5 billion, $0.4 billion higher than 2025. The increase is driven by investment in Network 2.0 initiatives and other efforts to modernize our facilities and package handling equipment in the U.S. and international locations. Aircraft spend is expected to decline to approximately $1.0 billion, $0.3 billion lower than 2025.

We will continue to evaluate our investments in critical long-term strategic projects to ensure our capital expenditures are expected to generate high returns on investment and are balanced with our outlook for global economic conditions. For additional details on key 2026 capital projects, refer to the “Financial Condition – Capital Resources” and “Financial Condition – Liquidity Outlook” sections of this MD&A.

In December 2024, we announced that FedEx’s management and Board of Directors had decided to pursue a full separation of FedEx Freight through the capital markets, creating a new publicly traded company. The separation is expected to be executed by June 2026.

The uncertainty of a slowdown in the global economy, global inflation, geopolitical challenges, developments in international trade, and the effects these factors will have on the rate of growth of global trade, supply chains, fuel prices, and our business in particular, make any expectations for the remainder of 2026 inherently less certain. See Part I “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report for more information.

REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

Federal Express and FedEx Freight represent our major service lines and constitute our reportable segments. Our reportable segments include the following businesses:


Federal Express Segment			Federal Express (express transportation, small-package ground delivery, and freight transportation)

FedEx Freight Segment			FedEx Freight (LTL freight transportation) FedEx Custom Critical, Inc. (time-critical transportation)

CORPORATE, OTHER, AND ELIMINATIONS

Also included in Corporate and other are the FedEx Office and Print Services, Inc. (“FedEx Office”) operating segment, which provides an array of document and business services and retail access to our customers for our package transportation businesses, and the FedEx Logistics operating segment, which provides integrated supply chain management solutions, specialty transportation, customs brokerage, and global ocean and air freight forwarding.

The results of Corporate, other, and eliminations are not allocated to the other business segments.

Operating results in Corporate, other, and eliminations were flat in the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to decreased purchased transportation costs at FedEx Logistics, offset by higher professional fees at corporate headquarters and FedEx Dataworks in the first quarter of 2026.

Certain FedEx operating companies provide transportation and related services for other FedEx companies outside their reportable segment in order to optimize our resources. For example, during the first quarter of 2026 FedEx Freight provided road and intermodal support for Federal Express. In addition, Federal Express works with FedEx Logistics to secure air charters and other cargo space for U.S. customers. Billings for such services are based on negotiated rates and are reflected as revenue of the billing segment. These rates are adjusted from time to time based on market conditions. Such intersegment revenue and expenses are eliminated in our consolidated results and are not separately identified in the following segment information because the amounts are not material.

Federal Express Segment Revenue

Volume:

U.S. domestic package volume increased 5% primarily due to strong demand for our U.S. economy package services. Growth in our international economy package volume of 5% in the first quarter of 2026 was more than offset by a 10% decline in international priority package volume reflecting the negative impact of global trade policies. U.S. average daily freight pounds decreased 59% in the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to the expiration of our contract with the USPS.

Yield

U.S. domestic composite package yield increased 3% in the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to improved base yields, partially offset by decreased fuel surcharges. International priority package yield increased by 13% due to increased base yields and favorable exchange rates, partially offset by decreased fuel surcharges. International economy package yields decreased 6% due to decreased base yields, partially offset by favorable exchange rates.

Federal Express Segment Operating Income

Federal Express segment operating income increased 19% in the first quarter of 2026 due to higher U.S. domestic and international priority package yields, structural cost reductions from business optimization initiatives, including from DRIVE initiatives commenced in prior years, and higher U.S. domestic package demand, partially offset by increased operating expenses and the expiration of our contract with the USPS. The increase in operating expenses in the first quarter of 2026 was primarily driven by higher wage and purchased transportation rates and higher credit losses.

Salaries and employee benefits expense increased 5% in the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to higher wage rates, unfavorable exchange rates, increased volume, and higher employee benefits. Purchased transportation expense increased 6% in the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to higher rates, increased volume, and unfavorable exchange rates, partially offset by increased efficiency. Other operating expense increased 8% in the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to higher credit losses and self-insurance accruals. Fuel expense decreased 20% in the first quarter of 2026 due to lower fuel prices and the expiration of the USPS contract.

Federal Express segment results include business optimization costs of $21 million and $43 million in the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively. In the first quarter of 2026, Federal Express segment results include $4 million of costs associated with our planned fiscal year change and $1 million of costs associated with the planned spin-off of FedEx Freight. Federal Express did not incur costs related to the fiscal year change or FedEx Freight spin-off in 2025. See the “Business Optimization Costs” and “Separation and Other Costs” sections of this MD&A for more information.

In July 2023, Federal Express’s pilots failed to ratify the tentative successor agreement that was approved by the Air Line Pilots Association, International’s FedEx Master Executive Council in the prior month. Negotiations have continued, and the ongoing bargaining process has no effect on our operations.

FedEx Freight Segment Revenue

FedEx Freight segment revenue decreased 3% in the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to lower volume and lower base yields.

Average daily shipments decreased 2% in the first quarter of 2026 due to reduced demand for our services, primarily resulting from macroeconomic conditions. Revenue per shipment decreased 1% in the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to lower base yields, including weight per shipment, and fuel surcharges.

FedEx Freight Segment Operating Income

FedEx Freight segment operating income decreased 18% in the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to the decline in revenue and increase in intercompany charges and wage rates.

Intercompany charges increased 9% in the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to increased sales staffing to prepare for the planned spin-off of FedEx Freight. Fuel expense decreased 7% in the first quarter of 2026 due to fewer shipments and a decrease in fuel price. Salaries and employee benefits expense decreased 1% in the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to lower volume, partially offset by higher wage rates.

FedEx Freight segment results include costs associated with our planned spin-off of FedEx Freight of $9 million in the first quarter of 2026. FedEx Freight did not incur costs related to the FedEx Freight spin-off in 2025. See the “Separation and Other Costs” section of this MD&A for more information.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities. Cash flows from operating activities increased $0.5 billion in the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to working capital changes driven by an increase in accrued income taxes, professional fees, variable incentive compensation, and self-insurance.

Cash Used in Investing Activities. Capital expenditures decreased during the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to decreased spending on aircraft and related equipment, vehicles and trailers, and information and technology investments. See “Capital Resources” for a discussion of capital expenditures during 2026.

Cash Used in Financing Activities. Cash used in financing activities decreased $0.5 billion in the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to the repurchase of $500 million of our common stock through open market transactions during the first quarter of 2026, a decrease of $500 million compared to the first quarter of 2025. Additionally, we issued €850 million of senior unsecured debt in July 2025 and used a portion of the net proceeds to repay the €500 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 0.45% notes at maturity in August 2025.

Our operations are capital intensive, characterized by significant investments in aircraft, package handling and sort equipment, technology, vehicles and trailers, and facilities. The amount and timing of capital investments depend on various factors, including pre-existing contractual commitments, anticipated volume growth, domestic and international economic conditions, new or enhanced services, geographical expansion of services, availability of satisfactory financing, and actions of regulatory authorities.

Other	23		29		(21)
Total capital expenditures	$	623	$	767	(19)

Capital expenditures decreased in the first quarter of 2026 primarily due to decreased spending on aircraft and related equipment at Federal Express, vehicles and trailers at Federal Express and FedEx Freight, and information and technology investments at Federal Express and FedEx Freight as a result of continuing to prioritize investments that support increasing efficiency and reducing our cost to serve. These reductions were partially offset by increased spending on facilities and other at Federal Express and FedEx Freight.

GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION

We are providing the following information in compliance with Rule 13-01 of Regulation S-X, “Financial Disclosures about Guarantors and Issuers of Guaranteed Securities” with respect to our senior unsecured debt securities and Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-1AA (the “Certificates”).

The $19.9 billion principal amount of the senior unsecured notes were issued by FedEx under a shelf registration statement and are guaranteed by certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of FedEx (“Guarantor Subsidiaries”). FedEx owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of each Guarantor Subsidiary. The guarantees are (1) unsecured obligations of the respective Guarantor Subsidiary, (2) rank equally with all of their other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness, and (3) are full and unconditional and joint and several. If we sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of all of the capital stock or all or substantially all of the assets of a Guarantor Subsidiary to any person that is not an affiliate of FedEx, the guarantee of that Guarantor Subsidiary will terminate, and holders of debt securities will no longer have a direct claim against such subsidiary under the guarantee. See Note 4 of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for information regarding the issuance by FedEx of its 3.500% Notes due 2032 and 4.125% Notes due 2037 guaranteed by the Guarantor Subsidiaries that was completed during the first quarter of 2026.

Additionally, FedEx fully and unconditionally guarantees the payment obligation of Federal Express in respect of the $711 million principal amount of the Certificates. See Note 4 of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and Note 6 to the financial statements included in our Annual Report for additional information regarding the terms of the Certificates.

LIQUIDITY OUTLOOK

In response to current business and economic conditions as referenced above in the “Outlook” section of this MD&A, we are continuing to actively manage and optimize our capital allocation in response to the slowdown in the economy, inflationary pressures, changing fuel prices, geopolitical conflicts, and uncertainty regarding international trade, including the impact of global trade policies. We held $6.2 billion in cash and cash equivalents at August 31, 2025 and had $3.5 billion in available liquidity under our $1.75 billion three-year credit agreement (the “Three-Year Credit Agreement”) and $1.75 billion five-year credit agreement (the “Five-Year Credit Agreement” and together with the Three-Year Credit Agreement, the “Credit Agreements”), and we believe that our cash and cash equivalents, cash from operations, and available financing sources will be adequate to meet our liquidity needs, which include operational requirements, expected capital expenditures, voluntary pension contributions, dividend payments, and stock repurchases. In the third quarter of 2025, we began incurring costs and expenses related to the planned spin-off of FedEx Freight, which are expected to be significant but are not expected to adversely affect our liquidity.

We repurchased an aggregate of $500 million of our common stock in the first quarter of 2026 through open market transactions. See Note 1 of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and “Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” for more information. Subject to market conditions, our liquidity needs, and other factors, we expect to continue repurchasing additional shares of our common stock during the remainder of 2026.

Our cash and cash equivalents balance at August 31, 2025 includes $4.0 billion of cash in foreign jurisdictions associated with our permanent reinvestment strategy. We are able to access the majority of this cash without a material tax cost and do not believe that the indefinite reinvestment of these funds impairs our ability to meet our U.S. domestic debt or working capital obligations.

-39-

Table of Contents

Our capital expenditures for 2026 are expected to be approximately $4.5 billion, $0.4 billion higher than 2025.The increase is driven by investment in Network 2.0 initiatives and other efforts to modernize our facilities and package handling equipment in the U.S. and internationally. Aircraft spend is expected to decline to approximately $1.0 billion, $0.3 billion lower than 2025.

There have been no material changes to the contractual commitments described in Part II, Item 7 in our Annual Report. We do not have any guarantees or other off-balance sheet financing arrangements, including variable interest entities, which we believe could have a material effect on our financial condition or liquidity.

We have several aircraft modernization programs under way that are supported by the purchase of Boeing 777 Freighter (“B777F”) and Boeing 767-300 Freighter (“B767F”) aircraft. These aircraft are significantly more fuel-efficient per unit than the aircraft types previously utilized, and these expenditures are necessary to achieve significant long-term operating savings and to replace older aircraft. Our ability to delay the timing of these aircraft-related expenditures is limited without incurring significant costs to modify existing purchase agreements.

The Three-Year Credit Agreement and the Five-Year Credit Agreement expire in March 2027 and March 2029, respectively. Each of the Credit Agreements has a $125 million letter of credit sublimit. The Credit Agreements are available to finance our operations and other cash flow needs. See Note 4 of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

We have a shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that allows us to sell, in one or more future offerings, any combination of our unsecured debt securities and common stock and allows pass-through trusts formed by Federal Express to sell, in one or more future offerings, pass-through certificates.

During the first three months of 2026, we made voluntary contributions of $200 million to our tax-qualified U.S. domestic pension plan (“U.S. Pension Plan”) and anticipate making up to $200 million of additional voluntary contributions during the remainder of 2026. There are currently no required minimum contributions to our U.S. Pension Plan, and we maintain a credit balance related to our cumulative excess voluntary pension contributions over those required that exceeds $3.0 billion. The credit balance is subtracted from plan assets to determine the minimum funding requirements. Therefore, we have the flexibility to eliminate all required contributions to our U.S. Pension Plan for several years. Our U.S. Pension Plan has ample funds to meet expected benefit payments.

On August 7, 2025, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.45 per share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on October 1, 2025 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 8, 2025. Each quarterly dividend payment is subject to review and approval by our Board of Directors, and we evaluate our dividend payment amount on an annual basis.

Standard & Poor’s has assigned us a senior unsecured debt credit rating of BBB, a Certificates rating of AA-, a commercial paper rating of A-2, and a ratings outlook of “stable.” Moody’s Investors Service has assigned us an unsecured debt credit rating of Baa2, a Certificates rating of Aa3, a commercial paper rating of P-2, and a ratings outlook of “stable.” Our interest expense may increase in the event of a reduction in our credit rating. If our unsecured debt or commercial paper ratings are reduced to below investment grade, our access to the capital markets may become limited.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make significant judgments and estimates to develop amounts reflected and disclosed in the financial statements. In many cases, there are alternative policies or estimation techniques that could be used. We maintain a thorough process to review the application of our accounting policies and to evaluate the appropriateness of the many estimates that are required to prepare the financial statements of a complex, global corporation. However, even under optimal circumstances, estimates routinely require adjustment based on changing circumstances and new or better information.

GOODWILL. Goodwill is tested for impairment between annual tests whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit has fallen below its carrying value. We do not believe there has been any additional change of events or circumstances that would indicate that additional reevaluation of the goodwill of our reporting units is required as of August 31, 2025, nor do we believe the goodwill of our reporting units is at risk of failing impairment testing. For additional details on goodwill impairment testing, refer to Note 1 to the financial statements included in our Annual Report.

Information regarding our critical accounting estimates can be found in our Annual Report, including Note 1 to the financial statements therein. Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting estimates with the Audit and Finance Committee of our Board of Directors and with our independent registered public accounting firm.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As of August 31, 2025, there were no material changes in our market risk sensitive instruments and positions since our disclosures in our Annual Report.

The principal foreign currency exchange rate risks to which we are exposed relate to the euro, Chinese yuan, British pound, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar, Mexican peso, Hong Kong dollar, and Japanese yen. Historically, our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is more significant with respect to our revenue than our expenses, as a significant portion of our expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars, such as aircraft and fuel expenses. During the first quarter of 2026, the U.S. dollar was weaker relative to the currencies of the foreign countries in which we operate, and the weaker dollar had a slightly negative effect on our results.

While we have market risk for changes in the price of vehicle and jet fuel, this risk is largely mitigated by our indexed fuel surcharges. For additional discussion of our indexed fuel surcharges, see the “Results of Operations and Outlook — Consolidated Results —Fuel” section of “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition” included in our Annual Report.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The management of FedEx, with the participation of our principal executive and financial officers, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, including ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to FedEx management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive and financial officers have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of August 31, 2025 (the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

During our fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2025, no change occurred in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

In February 2025, we acquired RouteSmart Technologies, Inc. (“RouteSmart”), a global leader in route planning and optimization solutions, and the consideration paid to certain former stockholders of RouteSmart consisted in part of 359,052 unregistered shares of our common stock valued at approximately $90 million as of the acquisition date. In August 2025, in connection with final post-closing adjustments, we issued another 296 unregistered shares of our common stock valued at less than $100,000 to the former RouteSmart stockholders pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement.

The foregoing transaction did not involve any underwriters or underwriting discounts or commissions. The shares of our common stock were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in a privately negotiated transaction not involving any public offerings or solicitations. See Note 4 of the audited condensed consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report for additional information regarding the RouteSmart acquisition.

In March 2024, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program for repurchases of up to $5.0 billion of FedEx common stock. As part of the 2024 repurchase program, we repurchased 2.2 million shares for $500 million in the open market during the first quarter of 2026.

As of September 18, 2025, approximately $1.6 billion remained available to be used for repurchases under the 2024 stock repurchase program. Shares under the program may be repurchased from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. No time limits were set for completion of the program; however, we may decide to suspend or discontinue the program.

See Note 1 of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information and “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition – Financial Condition – Liquidity Outlook” for information regarding planned stock repurchases during the remainder of 2026.
