About FEDEX CORP
Source: Item 1 (Business) from the 10-K filed July 20, 2026. Description as filed by the company with the SEC.
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Overview
FedEx Corporation (“FedEx”) was incorporated in Delaware on October 2, 1997 to serve as the parent holding company and provide strategic direction to the FedEx portfolio of companies. FedEx provides customers and businesses worldwide with a broad portfolio of transportation, e-commerce, and business services, offering integrated business solutions utilizing its flexible, efficient, and intelligent global network.

Change in Fiscal Year End
Effective June 1, 2026, we changed our fiscal year end from May 31 to December 31. As a result, we will report operating results covering the seven-month transition period from June 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026 (the “Transition Period”), in a Transition Report on Form 10-K. Following the Transition Period, we will report our operating results on a calendar-year basis, beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2027. Except as otherwise specified, any reference to a year in this Annual Report indicates our fiscal year ended May 31, 2026 or ended May 31 of the year referenced, and comparisons are to the corresponding period of the prior year.
Spin-Off and New Reportable Segments
In December 2024, we announced that FedEx’s Board of Directors decided to pursue a full separation of FedEx’s less-than-truckload freight transportation services business conducted through FedEx Freight, Inc. (“FedEx Freight”). The FedEx Freight business also included FedEx Custom Critical, Inc. (“FedEx Custom Critical”), LTL Select, and other operations historically included within our FedEx Freight reporting segment. On May 13, 2026, the FedEx Board of Directors declared a pro rata dividend of 80.1% of the outstanding shares of common stock of FedEx Freight Holding Company, Inc. (“FedEx Freight Holding”) to FedEx’s stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 15, 2026 (the “Record Date”) to achieve the separation (the “Spin-Off”). On June 1, 2026, FedEx stockholders received one share of FedEx Freight common stock for every two shares of FedEx common stock held as of the Record Date. FedEx retained 19.9% of the outstanding shares of FedEx Freight common stock. As a result of the Spin-Off, effective June 1, 2026, FedEx will no longer consolidate the FedEx Freight business and FedEx Freight is no longer a reportable segment.
Prior to the Spin-Off, our reportable segments were 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. For financial information concerning our reportable segments in place prior to the Spin-Off, refer to “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition” and “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report. Part I of this Annual Report contains certain references to the financial and operational performance of our reportable segments in place prior to the Spin-Off. Additional information regarding our reportable segments in place during 2026 and 2025 can be found in “Item 1. Business” and “Item 2. Properties” of our Annual Report for the year ended May 31, 2025.
Following the Spin-Off and beginning the first quarter of the Transition Period, we realigned our internal reporting and management structure, resulting in the identification of two new reportable segments: Express U.S. Domestic and Express International. Prior to this change, these two segments comprised the Federal Express reportable segment. In addition, FedEx Logistics, Inc. (“FedEx Logistics”), which provides customs brokerage and global ocean and air freight forwarding, was moved from “Corporate, other, and eliminations” to Express International. These changes reflect the realignment of our organizational structure and reporting regularly provided to our chief operating decision maker to assess performance and allocate resources. These changes had no impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position. For more information about our new reportable segments effective June 1, 2026, please refer to the “Business Segments” below.
Strategy
The collective FedEx brand gives us our competitive edge. Further, our strategy allows us to manage our business as a portfolio, in the long-term best interest of the enterprise. As a result, we base decisions on capital investment and service additions or enhancements
-2-
upon achieving the highest overall long-term return on invested capital for our business as a whole. We focus on making appropriate investments in the technology and assets necessary to optimize our long-term earnings performance and cash flow. Our business strategy also provides flexibility in structuring our network to align with varying macroeconomic conditions and customer demand for the market segments in which the customer operates, allowing us to leverage and manage change. Volatility, uncertainty, and innovation have become the norms in the global transportation market, and we are able to use our flexibility to accommodate changing conditions in the global economy.
For more than 50 years, we have been building networks that have created a differentiated and unmatched portfolio of services while continuously evolving to meet the changing needs of our customers and the market by connecting people and possibilities. We are shifting from a collection of separate but powerful operations to one integrated, flexible, efficient, and intelligent network that delivers better service, runs on a modern technology stack and has a structurally lower cost to serve. We continue to evolve to improve our operational efficiency, enhance profitability, and build a simplified experience to better serve our customers.
In connection with our one FedEx consolidation plan, on June 1, 2024, FedEx Ground Package System, Inc. (“FedEx Ground”) and FedEx Corporate Services, Inc. were merged into Federal Express Corporation (“Federal Express”), becoming a single company operating a unified, fully integrated air-ground express network under the respected FedEx brand.
In 2026, we continued our network transformation. Through Network 2.0, we continue to transform our surface network in the U.S. and Canada by modernizing and consolidating our sortation facilities and equipment, reducing pickup-and-delivery routes, and optimizing our enterprise linehaul network by moving beyond discrete collaboration to an end-to-end optimized network. Network 2.0 has been fully implemented in Canada and we expect to complete the U.S. implementation by the end of calendar year 2027. With Tricolor, we are redesigning our international air network by deploying our aircraft strategically to optimize asset utilization and enable a focus on growth in the premium global freight market. Internationally, we are focused on leveraging tools and best practices from our U.S. operations to transform our international operations by scaling to higher-value international mix, reengineering the network, and driving end-to-end process efficiencies. See “Business Segments” below, “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition” of this Annual Report for more information on our transformation programs.
Our digital transformation is underpinned by our digital backbone and artificial intelligence (“AI”) capabilities, enabling intelligent orchestration, standardization, and digitized and AI-enabled workflows that drive faster response, fewer exceptions, and lower our cost to serve. Our digital transformation is focused on efficiency, differentiation, and new value creation. The size and scale of our global network gives us key insights into global supply chains and trends. This foundation provides an immense amount of data we can use to build better insights, improve the customer experience, and differentiate our service offerings.
“Safety Above All” is the first and foremost value in every aspect of our business. We are committed to making our workplaces and communities safer for our team members, customers, and the public. This philosophy is embedded in our day-to-day work through rigorous policies, continual education and engagement, and investments in technology designed to prevent accidents.
Through our global transportation, information technology, and retail networks, we help to facilitate an ongoing and unprecedented expansion of customer access — to goods, services, and information. We believe it would be extremely difficult, costly, and time-consuming to replicate our global network, which reflects decades of investment, innovation, and expertise, includes the world’s largest all-cargo air fleet, and connects more than 99% of the world’s gross domestic product. We continue to position our company and team members to facilitate and capitalize on this access and to achieve stronger long-term growth, productivity, and profitability.
Business Segments
Effective June 1, 2026, we have two reporting segments: Express U.S. Domestic and Express International. Our remaining businesses are reported as Corporate, other, and eliminations. Express U.S. Domestic and Express International are collectively referred to as Federal Express.
Federal Express
Federal Express pioneered the express transportation industry over 50 years ago in 1973 and remains the industry leader today, providing a range of rapid, reliable, time- and day-definite delivery services to more than 220 countries and territories through an integrated air-ground express network.
As of May 31, 2026, Federal Express employed approximately 452,000 employees and had approximately 84,000 drop-off locations (including FedEx Office stores and FedEx OnSite locations, such as over 15,000 Walgreens and Dollar General stores), 700 aircraft, and over 180,000 motorized vehicles in its global network. Federal Express contracts with approximately 5,300 independent small businesses to conduct certain linehaul and pickup-and-delivery operations. Federal Express also provides cross-border enablement and
-3-
technology solutions and e-commerce transportation solutions. As of May 31, 2026, Federal Express employed approximately 233,000 permanent full-time and approximately 219,000 permanent part-time employees.
The pilots at Federal Express, who are a small number of its total employees, are represented by the Air Line Pilots Association, International (“ALPA”) and are employed under a newly ratified collective bargaining agreement (“CBA”). The new CBA was ratified by Federal Express pilots in a vote concluded on June 9, 2026, and is the product of several years of bargaining under the Railway Labor Act of 1926, as amended (“RLA”), including mediation by the National Mediation Board (the U.S. governmental agency that oversees labor agreements for entities covered by the RLA). The new CBA took effect June 29, 2026, and is scheduled to become amendable in December 2030. See Note 20 of the consolidated financial statements included in “Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” of this Annual Report for more information.
In addition to our pilots, certain of Federal Express’s non-U.S. employees are unionized. FedEx believes its employee relations are excellent. See “
