FedEx Reports Strong Second Quarter Earnings
Growth Year-Over-Year
Raises Full-year Fiscal 2026 Revenue and Earnings Outlook
On Track to Spin Off FedEx Freight on June 1, 2026
MEMPHIS, Tenn., December 18, 2025 ... FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) today reported the following consolidated results for the second quarter ended November 30 (adjusted measures exclude the items listed below):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Fiscal 2026 | | Fiscal 2025 |
| As Reported
(GAAP) | | Adjusted
(non-GAAP) | | As Reported
(GAAP) | | Adjusted
(non-GAAP) |
| Revenue | $23.5 billion | | $23.5 billion | | $22.0 billion | | $22.0 billion |
| Operating income | $1.38 billion | | $1.61 billion | | $1.05 billion | | $1.38 billion |
| Operating margin | 5.9% | | 6.9% | | 4.8% | | 6.3% |
| Net income | $0.96 billion | | $1.14 billion | | $0.74 billion | | $0.99 billion |
| Diluted EPS | $4.04 | | $4.82 | | $3.03 | | $4.05 |
This year’s and last year’s quarterly consolidated results have been adjusted for:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Impact per diluted share | Fiscal 2026 | | Fiscal 2025 |
| FedEx Freight spin-off costs | $0.72 | | $— |
| Business optimization costs | 0.10 | | 1.02 |
| Fiscal year change costs | 0.03 | | — |
| International regulatory matter | (0.07) | | — |
Consolidated operating results improved in the second quarter, reflecting strength in U.S. domestic and International Priority package yields, continued structural cost reductions, and higher U.S. domestic package volume.
“FedEx delivered an outstanding second quarter as we successfully executed our growth strategy and advanced our network transformation, while navigating a highly challenging external environment,” said Raj Subramaniam, FedEx Corp. president and chief executive officer. “I am extremely proud of our team members worldwide for their commitment to make every FedEx experience outstanding this Peak season.”
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, lower business optimization costs, and
increased U.S. domestic package volume. These factors were partially offset by the financial impact of global trade policy changes, higher wage rates and variable incentive compensation expenses, increased purchased transportation rates, and the grounding of the MD11 aircraft fleet.
FedEx Freight segment operating results decreased during the quarter due to lower shipments, higher wage rates, and the hiring of additional dedicated LTL sales professionals in preparation for the company's spin-off, partially offset by increased yield. FedEx Freight incurred one-time spin-off-related costs of $152 million during the quarter.
Share Repurchase Program
FedEx completed $276 million in share repurchases via open market transactions during the quarter. Approximately 1.2 million shares were repurchased, with the year-to-date decrease in outstanding shares benefiting second quarter results by $0.05 per diluted share.
Subject to market conditions, liquidity needs, and other factors, the company will continue to evaluate repurchasing additional shares of our common stock during the remainder of fiscal 2026. As of November 30, 2025, $1.3 billion remained available for repurchases under the company's 2024 stock repurchase authorization.
Cash on-hand as of November 30, 2025 was $6.6 billion.
FedEx Freight Separation On Track
The planned spin-off of FedEx Freight into a new publicly traded company continues to advance and is expected to be achieved in a tax-efficient manner for FedEx stockholders and executed on June 1, 2026. Once separated, FedEx Freight will be a separately traded public company, listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker symbol FDXF. FedEx Freight will host an Investor Day in New York City on April 8, 2026.
Outlook
FedEx is unable to forecast the fiscal 2026 mark-to-market ("MTM") retirement plans accounting adjustments. As a result, FedEx is unable to provide a fiscal 2026 earnings per share ("EPS") or effective tax rate ("ETR") outlook on a GAAP basis and is relying on the exemption provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). It is reasonably possible that the fiscal 2026 MTM retirement plans accounting adjustments could have a material effect on fiscal 2026 consolidated financial results and ETR.
FedEx is revising its fiscal 2026 revenue, earnings and pension contributions forecasts, and now expects:
•A 5% to 6% revenue growth rate year over year, compared to the prior forecast of 4% to 6% revenue growth;
•Diluted earnings per share of $14.80 to $16.00 before the MTM retirement plans accounting adjustments compared to the prior forecast of $14.20 to $16.00, and $17.80 to $19.00 after also excluding costs related to the planned spin-off of FedEx Freight, business optimization initiatives, the planned change in the company's fiscal year end, and an international regulatory matter, compared to the prior forecast of $17.20 to $19.00; and
•Pension contributions of $275 million, compared to the prior forecast of up to $400 million.
FedEx is reaffirming its fiscal 2026 forecasts of:
•Permanent cost reductions of $1 billion in transformation-related savings from structural cost reductions and the advancement of Network 2.0;
•An ETR of approximately 25% prior to the MTM retirement plans accounting adjustments; and
•Capital spending of $4.5 billion, with a priority on investments in network optimization and efficiency improvement, including fleet and facility modernization and automation.
These forecasts assume the company's current economic forecast and fuel price expectations, 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.
“Our strong second quarter results and revised full-year outlook reflect the momentum that is building in our business as we continue to drive stockholder value within a challenging operating environment,” said John Dietrich, FedEx Corp. executive vice president and chief financial officer. “The progress we are making on our strategic initiatives is tangible, and we are committed to creating significant value creation in the years ahead.”

RECONCILIATIONS OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
TO GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Second Quarter 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 second quarter fiscal 2026 and 2025 consolidated operating income and margin, income taxes, net income and diluted earnings per share and adjusted second quarter fiscal 2026 and 2025 Federal Express and FedEx Freight segment operating income and margin. These financial measures have been adjusted to exclude the effects of the following items (as applicable):
•Costs related to the planned spin-off of FedEx Freight incurred in fiscal 2026;
•Business optimization costs incurred in fiscal 2026 and 2025;
•Costs related to the planned change in the company's fiscal year end incurred in fiscal 2026; and
•The partial reversal of a loss accrual related to an international regulatory matter recognized in fiscal 2026.
In December 2024, FedEx announced that its Board of Directors had 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. We incurred costs associated with the planned spin-off of FedEx Freight in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. 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, the Europe workforce reduction plan, and DRIVE initiatives commenced in prior years. We incurred costs associated with these business optimization initiatives in the second quarter of fiscal 2026 and fiscal 2025. These costs were primarily related to professional services and severance.
In January 2025, FedEx announced that its Board of Directors had approved a change in the company’s fiscal year end from May 31 to December 31, which will
be effective June 1, 2026. We incurred costs associated with the planned fiscal year change in the second quarter of fiscal 2026. These costs were primarily related to professional fees.
Costs related to the planned spin-off of FedEx Freight, business optimization initiatives, and the planned fiscal year change, as well as the partial reversal of an accrual related to an international regulatory matter, are excluded from our second quarter 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 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.
Fiscal 2026 Earnings Per Share and Effective Tax Rate Forecasts
Our fiscal 2026 EPS forecast is a non-GAAP financial measure because it excludes fiscal 2026 MTM retirement plans accounting adjustments, estimated costs related to business optimization initiatives, the planned spin-off of FedEx Freight, the planned fiscal year change, and the partial reversal of a loss accrual
related to an international regulatory matter. Our fiscal 2026 ETR forecast is a non-GAAP financial measure because it excludes the effect of fiscal 2026 MTM retirement plans accounting adjustments.
We have provided these non-GAAP financial measures for the same reasons that were outlined above for historical non-GAAP measures. Costs related to business optimization initiatives, the planned spin-off of FedEx Freight, and the planned fiscal year change, as well as the partial reversal of a loss accrual related to an international regulatory matter, are excluded from our fiscal 2026 EPS forecast for the same reasons described above for historical non-GAAP measures.
We are unable to predict the amount of the MTM retirement plans accounting adjustments, as they are significantly affected by changes in interest rates and the financial markets, so such adjustments are not included in our fiscal 2026 EPS and ETR forecasts. For this reason, a full reconciliation of our fiscal 2026 EPS and ETR forecasts to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is impracticable. It is reasonably possible, however, that our fiscal 2026 MTM retirement plans accounting adjustments could have a material effect on our fiscal 2026 consolidated financial results and ETR.
The table included below titled “Fiscal 2026 Diluted Earnings Per Share Forecast” outlines the effects of the items that are excluded from our fiscal 2026 EPS forecast, other than the MTM retirement plans accounting adjustments.
