Exhibit 99.1

FedEx Corp. Reports Strong Second Quarter Results

MEMPHIS, Tenn., December 17, 2020 ... FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) today reported the following consolidated results for the quarter ended November 30 (adjusted measures exclude the items listed below for the applicable fiscal year):

	Fiscal 2021		Fiscal 2020
	As Reported<br><br><br>(GAAP)	Adjusted<br><br><br>(non-GAAP)	As Reported<br><br><br>(GAAP)	Adjusted<br><br><br>(non-GAAP)
Revenue	$20.6 billion	$20.6 billion	$17.3 billion	$17.3 billion
Operating income	$1.47 billion	$1.51 billion	$554 million	$684 million
Operating margin	7.1%	7.4%	3.2%	3.9%
Net income	$1.23 billion	$1.30 billion	$560 million	$660 million
Diluted EPS	$4.55	$4.83	$2.13	$2.51

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

Impact per diluted share	Fiscal 2021
Mark-to-market TNT Express retirement plan<br><br><br>accounting adjustment		0.15	—
TNT Express integration expenses		0.13	0.19
Aircraft impairment charges		—	0.19

All values are in US Dollars.

“My sincere appreciation goes out to our nearly 600,000 team members around the world who go above and beyond to keep the world moving during this ongoing pandemic and unprecedented peak season. Our strong revenue and earnings growth during the quarter is a reflection of their continued hard work and commitment to our customers,” said Frederick W. Smith, FedEx Corp. chairman and chief executive officer. “These results demonstrate the unparalleled strength of our global express network, the breadth of our e-commerce capabilities, and the dedication of our people.”

Operating results increased due to volume growth in FedEx International Priority and U.S. domestic residential package services and pricing initiatives across all transportation segments.  These factors were partially offset by costs to support strong demand and to expand services, variable compensation expense, and COVID-19–related costs, including expenses incurred to ensure the safety of FedEx team members and customers as well as the costs of network contingencies, including additional personnel to support operations through the pandemic.

• more -

Net income includes a pretax noncash loss of $52 million ($41 million, net of tax, or $0.15 per diluted share) associated with amending a TNT Express European pension plan to harmonize retirement benefits.  Net income also includes a tax benefit of $191 million ($0.71 per diluted share) primarily related to favorable guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service during the quarter.  Last year’s results included a tax benefit of $133 million ($0.51 per diluted share) from the recognition of certain foreign tax loss carryforwards.

Outlook

FedEx is not providing an earnings forecast for fiscal 2021.  The capital spending forecast for the year remains $5.1 billion.

“The benefits of the investments across our business over the past several years are reflected in our strong second quarter results,” said Michael C. Lenz, FedEx Corp. executive vice president and chief financial officer.  “While the overall environment remains uncertain, we expect earnings growth in the second half of fiscal 2021 driven by the anticipated heightened demand for our services as we continue to execute on our strategic priorities.”

RECONCILIATIONS OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

TO GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Second Quarter Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020 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 2021 and 2020 consolidated operating income and margin, net income and diluted earnings per share, and adjusted second quarter fiscal 2021 and 2020 FedEx Express segment operating income and margin. These financial measures have been adjusted to exclude the impact of the following items (as applicable):

•	The second quarter fiscal 2021 mark-to-market (MTM) TNT Express retirement plan accounting adjustment;
•	TNT Express integration expenses incurred in fiscal 2021 and 2020; and
---	---
•	Fiscal 2020 aircraft impairment charges.
---	---

The MTM TNT Express retirement plan accounting adjustment and aircraft impairment charges are excluded from our second quarter fiscal 2021 and 2020 consolidated non-GAAP financial measures 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.

We have incurred and expect to incur significant expenses through fiscal 2022 in connection with our integration of TNT Express. We have adjusted our second quarter fiscal 2021 and 2020 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 are predominantly incremental costs directly associated with the integration of TNT Express, including professional and legal fees, salaries and employee benefits, travel and advertising expenses. Internal salaries and employee benefits are included only to the extent the individuals are assigned full-time to integration 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.

• more -

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 Securities and Exchange Commission rules, the tables below present a reconciliation of our presented non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
