SECTION 2. FINANCIAL INFORMATION.

Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, FedEx Corporation (“FedEx”) announced one FedEx, a consolidation plan to bring FedEx Ground Package System, Inc. (“FedEx Ground”) and FedEx Corporate Services, Inc. (“FedEx Services”) into Federal Express Corporation (“Federal Express”), becoming a single company operating a unified, fully integrated air-ground express network under the respected FedEx brand. On June 1, 2024, FedEx Ground and FedEx Services were merged into Federal Express. FedEx Freight, Inc. (“FedEx Freight”) continues to provide less-than-truckload freight transportation services as a separate subsidiary. Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, Federal Express and FedEx Freight will represent our major service lines and constitute our reportable segments. FedEx Custom Critical, Inc. (“FedEx Custom Critical”) will be included in the FedEx Freight segment instead of the Federal Express segment beginning in fiscal 2025.

Appendix

General comments

  • Other operating expense includes costs associated with outside service contracts (such as facility services and cargo handling, temporary labor, and security), insurance, professional fees, and uniforms for all years presented.

Beginning in the first quarter of FY25, Federal Express and FedEx Freight represent our major service lines and constitute our reportable segments. FedEx Custom Critical is included in the FedEx Freight segment instead of the Federal Express segment beginning in FY25.

  • Federal Express average daily package volume calculations for all services are calculated on a 5-day-per-week basis. Interim and annual amounts for FY23 and FY24 were revised to reflect these changes in presentation.
