Exhibit 99.1

FedEx Delivered Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2023 Revenue of $21.9 Billion, Diluted EPS of $6.05, and Adjusted Diluted EPS of $4.94

Ended Fiscal 2023 with Revenue of $90.2 Billion, Diluted EPS of $15.48, and Adjusted Diluted EPS of $14.96

Returned $2.7 Billion to Stockholders Through Stock Repurchases and Dividends During Fiscal 2023

Introduces Fiscal 2024 Outlook, Including $1.8 Billion of DRIVE Cost Savings

MEMPHIS, Tenn., June 20, 2023 ... FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) today reported the following consolidated results for the quarter ended May 31 (adjusted measures exclude the items listed below for the applicable fiscal year):

Fiscal 2023 Fiscal 2022
As Reported<br>(GAAP) Adjusted<br>(non-GAAP) As Reported<br>(GAAP) Adjusted<br>(non-GAAP)
Revenue $21.9 billion $21.9 billion $24.4 billion $24.4 billion
Operating income $1.50 billion $1.77 billion $1.92 billion $2.23 billion
Operating margin 6.9% 8.1% 7.9% 9.2%
Net income $1.54 billion $1.25 billion $558 million $1.80 billion
Diluted EPS $6.05 $4.94 $2.13 $6.87

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

Fiscal 2023 Fiscal 2022
Impact per diluted share Fourth<br>Quarter Full<br>Year Fourth<br>Quarter Full<br>Year
Mark-to-market (MTM) retirement <br>    plans accounting adjustments ($1.94) ($1.92) $3.83 $4.49
Goodwill and other asset<br>    impairment charges 0.38 0.38
Business optimization costs 0.28 0.81
FedEx Ground legal matters 0.10 0.10 0.61 0.60
Business realignment costs 0.06 0.11 0.18 0.80
TNT Express integration expenses 0.12 0.39

“The solid close to the fiscal year demonstrates the significant progress Team FedEx has made in advancing our global transformation while adapting to the dynamic demand environment,” said Raj Subramaniam, FedEx Corp. president and chief executive officer. “FedEx is becoming a more flexible, efficient and data-driven organization as we significantly lower our cost structure, drive enhanced profitability, and deliver outstanding service for our customers.”

Fourth Quarter Results

Fourth quarter results demonstrate continued momentum across the business. Operating margins for the quarter were the strongest of the fiscal year as the company demonstrated strong expense management and executed DRIVE initiatives. The quarter’s results were negatively affected by continued demand weakness and cost inflation, partially offset by cost-reduction actions and U.S. domestic package yield improvement.

FedEx Express operating results declined due to lower global volumes, partially offset by decreased expenses and higher U.S. domestic yields. FedEx Express continues to implement volume-related and structural cost-reduction actions, including further reductions in flight hours and the early retirement of certain aircraft and related assets, to mitigate the negative effect of ongoing demand weakness.

FedEx Ground operating results improved primarily due to higher revenue per package and cost-reduction actions. These factors were partially offset by lower package volume, higher infrastructure costs and increased other operating expenses.

FedEx Freight operating results declined primarily due to decreased shipments and lower weight per shipment, partially offset by improved revenue quality. FedEx Freight remains focused on cost discipline, supported by a fourth round of furloughs to match staffing with demand and network optimization from the planned permanent closure of 29 facilities.

Fourth quarter results also include a noncash impairment charge of $70 million ($0.21 per diluted share) from the decision to permanently retire from service 18 aircraft and 34 related engines to align with the plans of FedEx Express to modernize its air fleet, improve its global network and better align air network capacity with current and anticipated demand. The quarter's results also include $47 million ($0.17 per diluted share) of goodwill and other asset impairment charges related to the ShopRunner acquisition.

Fourth quarter results include a tax expense of $46 million ($0.18 per diluted share) from a revaluation of certain foreign tax assets. Last year's fourth quarter net income included a tax benefit of $46 million ($0.18 per diluted share) related to revisions of prior year estimates for actual tax return results.

Full-Year Results

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

Fiscal 2023 Fiscal 2022
As Reported<br>(GAAP) Adjusted<br>(non-GAAP) As Reported<br>(GAAP) Adjusted<br>(non-GAAP)
Revenue $90.2 billion $90.2 billion $93.5 billion $93.5 billion
Operating income $4.91 billion $5.37 billion $6.25 billion $6.87 billion
Operating margin 5.4% 6.0% 6.7% 7.3%
Net income $3.97 billion $3.84 billion $3.83 billion $5.50 billion
Diluted EPS $15.48 $14.96 $14.33 $20.61

Capital spending for fiscal 2023 was $6.2 billion.

Transformation Progress

Today, FedEx announced an important step in its transformation journey. All FedEx Ground operations and personnel in Canada will transition to Federal Express Canada starting in April 2024. This transition will be seamless to customers, who can expect the same outstanding service they receive today. The new streamlined structure will position the company to more efficiently address future growth opportunities in the Canadian market.

FedEx is also making solid progress with Network 2.0, as the company has now announced optimization plans to streamline pickup-and-delivery operations across networks in 20 markets. In some of these markets, contracted service providers will be handling the pickup and delivery of ground and express packages. In others, pickup and delivery will be handled exclusively by employee couriers. Each market is unique and will be optimized based on a number of factors, including volume fluctuations, customer demand, facility footprints, and more. Both the employee courier and the contracted service provider models will continue to play critical roles within the U.S. operations network and for the overall success of the company strategy.

Capital Returns

During fiscal 2023, FedEx returned approximately $2.7 billion to stockholders through the combination of $1.5 billion of stock repurchases and $1.2 billion of dividend payments. Total repurchases during fiscal 2023 were over 9 million shares or 4% of the shares outstanding at the beginning of the year. As of May 31, 2023, $2.6 billion remained under the existing share repurchase authorization.

For fiscal 2024, FedEx expects to repurchase $2.0 billion of FedEx common stock and previously announced a 10% increase ($0.44 per share) in the annual dividend rate on its common stock to $5.04 per share.

Outlook

FedEx is unable to forecast the fiscal 2024 mark-to-market (MTM) retirement plans accounting adjustments. As a result, FedEx is unable to provide a fiscal 2024

earnings per share or effective tax rate (ETR) outlook on a GAAP basis and is relying on the exemption provided by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. It is reasonably possible that the fiscal 2024 MTM retirement plans accounting adjustments could have a material effect on fiscal 2024 consolidated financial results and ETR.

For fiscal 2024, FedEx is forecasting:

• Flat to low-single-digit-percent revenue growth year over year;

• Earnings per diluted share of $15.00 to $17.00 before the MTM retirement plans accounting adjustments and $16.50 to $18.50 after also excluding costs related to business optimization initiatives;

• Permanent cost reductions from the DRIVE transformation program of $1.8 billion;

• ETR of approximately 25% prior to the MTM retirement plans accounting adjustments; and

• Capital spending of $5.7 billion, with a priority on investments to improve efficiency, including fleet and facility modernization, network optimization and automation.

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

“In fiscal 2023, we delivered the early benefits of FedEx’s cost and efficiency initiatives, powered by our DRIVE program,” said Michael C. Lenz, FedEx Corp. executive vice president and chief financial officer. “We’re approaching fiscal 2024 with the same level of intensity, maintaining a continued focus on improving profitability to position the company for success in what remains a challenging demand environment.”

RECONCILIATIONS OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

TO GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Fourth Quarter and Full-Year Fiscal 2023 and Fiscal 2022 Results

The company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP” or “reported”). We have supplemented the reporting of our financial information determined in accordance with GAAP with certain non-GAAP (or “adjusted”) financial measures, including our adjusted fourth quarter and adjusted full-year fiscal 2023 and 2022 consolidated operating income and margin, net income and diluted earnings per share, and adjusted fourth quarter and adjusted full-year fiscal 2023 and 2022 FedEx Express segment operating income and margin. These financial measures have been adjusted to exclude the impact of the following items (as applicable):

• MTM retirement plans accounting adjustments in fiscal 2023 and 2022;

• Goodwill and other asset impairment charges incurred in fiscal 2023;

• Business optimization costs incurred in fiscal 2023;

• Business realignment costs incurred in fiscal 2023 and 2022;

• Costs related to FedEx Ground legal matters incurred in fiscal 2023 and 2022; and

• TNT Express integration expenses incurred in fiscal 2022.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, FedEx announced DRIVE, a comprehensive program to improve the company’s long-term profitability. This program includes a business optimization plan to drive efficiency among our transportation segments and lower our overhead and support costs. We incurred costs associated with our business optimization initiatives in fiscal 2023. These costs were primarily related to consulting services, professional fees, severance and related costs associated with organizational changes announced in the third quarter of 2023, and idling our operations in Russia. The timing and amount of business optimization costs, including capital investments, may change as we revise and implement our plans.

Costs related to business optimization initiatives, as well as MTM retirement plans accounting adjustments, goodwill and other asset impairment charges, costs related to business realignment activities in connection with the FedEx Express workforce reduction plan in Europe, and costs related to FedEx Ground legal matters are excluded from our fourth quarter and full-year fiscal 2023 and 2022 consolidated and FedEx Express segment non-GAAP financial measures, as applicable, because they are unrelated to our core operating performance and/or to assist investors with assessing trends in our underlying businesses. The charges related to accrued pre- and post-judgment interest incurred in connection with a FedEx Ground legal matter in fiscal 2022, as well as the charges incurred in connection with a separate FedEx Ground legal matter in fiscal 2023, are extraordinary in nature and do not represent a recurring expense arising in our ordinary course of business.

We incurred significant expenses through fiscal 2022 in connection with our integration of TNT Express. We have adjusted our fourth quarter and full-year fiscal 2022 consolidated and FedEx Express segment financial measures to exclude TNT Express integration expenses because we generally would not incur such expenses as part of our continuing operations. The integration expenses were predominantly incremental costs directly associated with the integration of TNT Express, including professional and legal fees, salaries and employee benefits, advertising, and travel expenses. Internal salaries and employee benefits are included only to the extent the individuals were assigned full-time to integration activities. The integration expenses do not include costs associated with our business realignment activities.

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 segment’s 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 2024 Earnings Per Share and Effective Tax Rate Forecasts

Our fiscal 2024 earnings per share (EPS) forecast is a non-GAAP financial measure because it excludes fiscal 2024 mark-to-market (MTM) retirement plans accounting adjustments and estimated costs related to business optimization initiatives in fiscal 2024. Our fiscal 2024 effective tax rate (ETR) forecast is a non-GAAP financial measure because it excludes the effect of fiscal 2024 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 are excluded from our fiscal 2024 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 2024 EPS and ETR forecasts. For this reason, a full reconciliation of our fiscal 2024 EPS and ETR forecasts to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is impracticable. It is reasonably possible, however, that our fiscal 2024 MTM retirement plans accounting adjustments could have a material effect on our fiscal 2024 consolidated financial results and ETR.

The table included below titled “Fiscal 2024 Earnings Per Share Forecast” outlines the effects of the items that are excluded from our fiscal 2024 EPS forecast, other than the MTM retirement plans accounting adjustments.
