**FedEx Freight Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Fiscal Year 2026 Financial Results**

*Achieved Record-Low Department of Transportation (DOT) Preventable Accident Performance, Underscoring* 

*Commitment to Safety Above All* 

*Completed Spin-off from FedEx Corp. and Began Trading as an Independent Company on June 1, 2026*

*Introduces Guidance for Seven-Month Transition Period Ending December 31, 2026* 

**MEMPHIS, Tenn. – June 25, 2026 –** FedEx Freight (NYSE: FDXF) today reported segmented financial results for

the fourth quarter and full fiscal year ended May 31, 2026, as previously released by FedEx Corporation.

"FedEx Freight delivered a solid quarter reflecting the resilience of our business, the dedication of our team

members, and the value we provide customers across North America," said **John Smith, president and chief** 

**executive officer, FedEx Freight.** "As a newly independent public company, we are moving forward with a clear

strategy focused on profitable growth and service differentiation. We have full confidence in our outstanding

people, unmatched network, and ability to create meaningful long-term value for shareholders."

Fourth quarter and full-year fiscal 2026 results included herein are as reported in the FedEx Freight segment

results of FedEx Corporation and not presented on a carve-out basis. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below

for reconciliations of and additional information regarding non-GAAP financial measures.

**Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2026 Highlights Compared to Prior Year**

• Revenue was $2.4 billion, a 4.8% increase

• Operating income was $158 million, a 66.9% decrease; adjusted operating income was $363 million,

a 23.9% decrease

• Operating margin of 6.6% and adjusted operating margin of 15.1% compared to an operating margin

of 20.8%

• Average daily shipments of 86.7 thousand, a 5.9% decrease

• Revenue per shipment of $415.22, an 11.5% increase

• Weight per shipment of 948 pounds, a 3.0% increase

• Revenue per hundredweight of $43.79, an 8.2% increase

**Full Fiscal 2026 Highlights Compared to Prior Year** 

• Revenue was $8.8 billion, a 1.1% decrease

• Operating income was $616 million, a 58.6% decrease; adjusted operating income was $1.1 billion, a

25.6% decrease

• Operating margin of 7.0% and adjusted operating margin of 12.6% compared to an operating margin

of 16.7%

**Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2026 Financial Summary** 

FedEx Freight Segment revenue increased 4.8% year-over-year in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026. The increase

was primarily driven by the favorable impact of fuel surcharges and higher weight per shipment. These factors

were partially offset by lower volumes and a slight decline in base revenue per hundredweight.

![masthead.jpg](masthead.jpg)

FedEx Freight Segment results were impacted by planned incremental separation costs, lower shipments, the

lapping of a prior-year gain on the sale of a facility, and increased wage rates. These factors were partially offset

by net fuel and higher weight per shipment.

"FedEx Freight enters this next chapter with a strong financial outlook, supported by the scale of our network and

our disciplined approach to cost management, capital deployment, and cash flow generation," said **Marshall Witt,** 

**chief financial officer, FedEx Freight.** "Our guidance for the seven-month transition period reflects our

confidence in the underlying strength of the business. We believe FedEx Freight is well-positioned to deliver

strong financial performance as we invest strategically in the business and generate durable shareholder value."

**Fiscal Year Change**

Effective for the period beginning June 1, 2026, the company's fiscal year-end has changed from May 31 to

December 31.

**Outlook** 

FedEx Freight is unable to forecast the mark-to-market (MTM) retirement plan accounting adjustments for the

seven months ending December 31, 2026. As a result, FedEx Freight is unable to provide a Transition Period

(June 1 through December 31, 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 Transition Period MTM retirement plan accounting adjustments could have a material

effect on the Transition Period consolidated financial results and ETR.

The company today introduced guidance for the Transition Period on a standalone basis. Prior-year figures reflect

carve-out results, with costs previously allocated from FedEx Corporation now fully reclassified into their

respective expense line items.

For the Transition Period, FedEx Freight is forecasting:

• A 4% to 6% revenue growth rate when compared to $5.1 billion for the seven months ended

December 31, 2025;

• Operating income of $475 million to $515 million compared to $394 million for the seven

months ended December 31, 2025;

• Adjusted operating income of $605 million to $645 million compared to $600 million for the

seven months ended December 31, 2025;

• Operating margin of 9.0% to 9.5% compared to 7.8% for the seven months ended December

31, 2025;

• Adjusted operating margin of 11.5% to 12.0% compared to 11.8% for the seven months

ended December 31, 2025;

• Interest expense of approximately $135 million;

• An ETR of approximately 26% prior to the MTM retirement plan accounting adjustments,

compared to 25% for the seven months ended December 31, 2025;

• Diluted EPS of $1.75 to $1.95 before the MTM retirement plan accounting adjustments, and

$2.40 to $2.60 after also excluding costs related to the spin-off; and

• Assumed share count of 149.5 million.

These forecasts assume the company's current economic outlook and fuel price expectations, and no additional

adverse economic, geopolitical, or international trade-related developments. FedEx Freight's EPS and ETR

forecasts are based on current law and related regulations and guidance.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

The FedEx Freight Segment results as reported by FedEx Corporation are reported in accordance with

accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). FedEx Freight has supplemented these

GAAP results and its outlook with certain non-GAAP (adjusted) financial measures, including adjusted operating

income, adjusted operating margin, and adjusted diluted earnings per share.

These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effects of certain items that management believes are not

indicative of the company's core operating performance, including costs related to the spin-off of FedEx Freight

from FedEx Corporation, which primarily consist of professional fees and other separation-related costs.

Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate period-to-period comparisons and provide

useful information to investors by excluding items that are not reflective of the company's underlying operating

performance. Management uses these non-GAAP measures in making financial, operating and planning

decisions and evaluating the company's ongoing performance.

These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement, and should be read together with, the

company's GAAP results. They should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, reported financial results

prepared in accordance with GAAP. 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,

they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. As required by SEC rules,

reconciliations of the company's non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures

are provided below.

**Fourth Quarter and Full Fiscal 2026 and 2025 Results**

FedEx Freight's fourth quarter and full fiscal 2026 Segment adjusted operating income and adjusted operating

margin are non-GAAP financial measures because they exclude the effects of costs related to the spin-off. No

costs related to the spin-off were incurred at the FedEx Freight Segment in fiscal 2025.

**Seven Months Ended December 31, 2025 Results**

FedEx Freight's seven months ended December 31, 2025 carve-out adjusted operating income and adjusted

operating margin are non-GAAP financial measures because they exclude the effects of costs related to the spin-

off. No MTM retirement plan accounting adjustments were made for the seven months ended December 31,

2025. ---

**Seven Months Ending December 31, 2026 Forecasts**

FedEx Freight's seven months ending December 31, 2026 adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin,

adjusted EPS, and ETR forecasts are non-GAAP financial measures because they exclude, as applicable, the

effects of MTM retirement plan accounting adjustments and estimated costs related to the spin-off.

| Spin-off costs | 130 | 2.5% |
| Non-GAAP measure | $605 to 645 | 11.5 to 12.0% |

---

The company is unable to predict the amount of MTM retirement plan accounting adjustments for the seven

months ending December 31, 2026, as such adjustments are significantly affected by changes in interest rates

and financial market conditions. Accordingly, these adjustments are not included in the company's seven months

ending December 31, 2026 EPS and ETR forecasts, and a reconciliation of these forecasts to the most directly

comparable GAAP measures is impracticable. It is reasonably possible that MTM retirement plan accounting

adjustments could have a material effect on the company's seven months ending December 31, 2026 financial

results and ETR.

The seven months ending December 31, 2026 adjusted EPS forecast below outlines the estimated effects of the

items excluded from the company's forecast, other than MTM retirement plan accounting adjustments.
