(1) General

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES. These interim financial statements of FedEx Corporation (“FedEx”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) instructions for interim financial information, and should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2019 (“Annual Report”). Significant accounting policies and other disclosures normally provided have been omitted since such items are disclosed in our Annual Report.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly our financial position as of November 30, 2019, and the results of our operations for the three- and six-month periods ended November 30, 2019 and 2018, cash flows for the six-month periods ended November 30, 2019 and 2018, and changes in common stockholders’ investment for the three- and six-month periods ended November 30, 2019 and 2018. Operating results for the three- and six-month periods ended November 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending May 31, 2020.

Except as otherwise specified, references to years indicate our fiscal year ending May 31, 2020 or ended May 31 of the year referenced and comparisons are to the corresponding period of the prior year.

RECLASSIFICATIONS. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

REVENUE RECOGNITION.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Contract assets include billed and unbilled amounts resulting from in-transit packages, as we have an unconditional right to payment only once all performance obligations have been completed (e.g., packages have been delivered). Contract assets are generally classified as current and the full balance is converted each quarter based on the short-term nature of the transactions. Our contract liabilities consist of advance payments and billings in excess of revenue. The full balance of deferred revenue is converted each quarter based on the short-term nature of the transactions.

Gross contract assets related to in-transit packages totaled $513 million and $533 million at November 30, 2019 and May 31, 2019, respectively. Contract assets net of deferred unearned revenue were $385 million and $364 million at November 30, 2019 and May 31, 2019, respectively. Contract assets are included within current assets in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Contract liabilities related to advance payments from customers were $10 million and $11 million at November 30, 2019 and May 31, 2019, respectively. Contract liabilities are included within current liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

LEASES. We lease certain facilities, aircraft, equipment and vehicles under operating and finance leases. A determination of whether a contract contains a lease is made at the inception of the arrangement. Our leased facilities include national, regional and metropolitan sorting facilities, retail facilities and administrative buildings. We leased 5% of our total aircraft fleet as of November 30, 2019 and 6% as of May 31, 2019.

Our leases generally contain options to extend or terminate the lease. We reevaluate our leases on a regular basis to consider the economic and strategic incentives of exercising the renewal options, and how they align with our operating strategy. Therefore, substantially all the renewal option periods are not included within the lease term and the associated payments are not included in the measurement of the right-of-use asset and lease liability as the options to extend are not reasonably certain at lease commencement.

The lease liabilities are measured at the lease commencement date and determined using the present value of the minimum lease payments not yet paid and our incremental borrowing rate, which approximates the rate at which we would borrow, on a collateralized basis, over the term of a lease in the applicable currency environment. The interest rate implicit in the lease is generally not determinable in transactions where we are the lessee.

For real estate leases, we account for lease components and non-lease components (such as common area maintenance) as a single lease component. Certain real estate leases require additional payments based on sales volume and index based rate increases, as well as reimbursement for real estate taxes, common area maintenance and insurance, which are expensed as incurred as variable lease costs. Certain leases contain fixed lease payment s for items such as real estate taxes, common area maintenance and insurance. These fixed payments are considered part of the lease payment and included in the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities.

See Note 8 for additional information.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. For assets that are to be held and used, an impairment is recognized when the estimated undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset or group of assets is less than their carrying value. If impairment exists, an adjustment is made to write the asset down to its fair value, and a loss is recorded as the difference between the carrying value and fair value. Fair values are determined based on quoted market values, discounted cash flows or internal and external appraisals, as applicable. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of carrying value or estimated net realizable value.

We operate integrated transportation networks, and accordingly, cash flows for most of our operating assets to be held and used are assessed at a network level, not at an individual asset level, for our analysis of impairment.

During the second quarter of 2020, we made the decision to permanently retire from service 10 Airbus A310-300 aircraft and 12 related engines at Federal Express Corporation (“FedEx Express”) to align with the needs of the U.S. domestic network and modernize its aircraft fleet. As a consequence of this decision, noncash impairment charges of $66 million ($50 million, net of tax, or $0.19 per diluted share) were recorded in the FedEx Express segment in the second quarter. Seven of these aircraft were temporarily idled.

EMPLOYEES UNDER COLLECTIVE BARGAINING ARRANGEMENTS. The pilots of FedEx Express, who are a small number of its total employees, are employed under a collective bargaining agreement that took effect on November 2, 2015. The collective bargaining agreement is scheduled to become amendable in November 2021. Other than the pilots at FedEx Express and drivers at one FedEx Freight, Inc. facility, our U.S. employees have thus far chosen not to unionize (we acquired FedEx Supply Chain Distribution System, Inc. in 2015, which already had a small number of employees who are members of unions). Additionally, certain FedEx Express non-U.S. employees are unionized, and a union has been certified to represent owner-drivers at a FedEx Freight Canada, Corp. facility.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION. We have two types of equity-based compensation: stock options and restricted stock. The key terms of the stock option and restricted stock awards granted under our incentive stock plans and all financial disclosures about these programs are set forth in our Annual Report.

Our stock-based compensation expense was $37 million for the three-month period ended November 30, 2019 and $104 million for the six-month period ended November 30, 2019. Our stock-based compensation expense was $40 million for the three-month period ended November 30, 2018 and $108 million for the six-month period ended November 30, 2018. Due to its immateriality, additional disclosures related to stock-based compensation have been excluded from this quarterly report.

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS. Our risk management strategy includes the select use of derivative instruments to reduce the effects of volatility in foreign currency exchange exposure on operating results and cash flows. In accordance with our risk management policies, we do not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. All derivative instruments are recognized in the financial statements at fair value, regardless of the purpose or intent for holding them.

When we become a party to a derivative instrument and intend to apply hedge accounting, we formally document the hedge relationship and the risk management objective for undertaking the hedge, which includes designating the instrument for financial reporting purposes as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge or a net investment hedge.

If a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the entire change in the fair value of the hedging instrument included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness is recorded in other comprehensive income. For net investment hedges, the entire change in the fair value is recorded in the currency translation adjustment section of other comprehensive income. Any portion of a change in the fair value of a derivative that is considered to be ineffective, along with the change in fair value of any derivatives not designated in a hedging relationship, is immediately recognized in the income statement. We do not have any derivatives designated as a cash flow hedge for any period presented. Accordingly, additional disclosures about cash flow hedges are excluded from this quarterly report. On August 13, 2019, we designated €294 million of debt and on November 8, 2019, we designated an additional €98 million of debt, for a total of €392 million, as a net investment hedge to reduce the volatility of the U.S. dollar value of a portion of our net investment in a euro-denominated consolidated subsidiary. As of November 30, 2019, the requirements for the application of hedge accounting continue to be met and the hedge remains effective.

RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE. New accounting rules and disclosure requirements can significantly impact our reported results and the comparability of our financial statements. We believe the following new accounting guidance is relevant to the readers of our financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new lease accounting standard, which requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets but recognize the expenses in their income statements in a manner similar to current practice. Lessees are required to recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. Expenses related to leases determined to be operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis, while those determined to be finance leases are recognized following a front-loaded expense profile in which interest and amortization are presented separately in the income statement.

We adopted this new standard on June 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective transition method. Using the modified retrospective transition method of adoption, we did not adjust the balance sheet for comparative periods but recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings on June 1, 2019. We have elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allows us to carry forward the historical accounting relating to lease identification and classification for existing leases upon adoption. We also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for the majority of our classes of assets. For leases in which the lease and non-lease components have been combined, the lease expense includes expenses such as common area maintenance. We have made an accounting policy election not to recognize leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the consolidated balance sheet.

The adoption of the new lease accounting standard resulted in the recognition of an operating lease liability of $14.2 billion and an operating right-of-use asset of $14.1 billion, with an immaterial impact on our income statement compared to the previous lease accounting model. Existing prepaid asset and net deferred rent liability balances of $154 million and $309 million, respectively, were recorded to the right-of-use asset. The cumulative effect of the adoption to retained earnings was an increase of $57 million ($47 million, net of tax), primarily related to the reclassification of deferred gains related to sale-leasebacks of aircraft. Substantially all of our lease arrangements are operating leases under the new standard. The new standard had a material impact on our balance sheet, but did not materially impact consolidated operating results and had no impact on operating cash flows.

See “Leases” and Note 8 for additional information.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02 that permits companies to reclassify the income tax effect of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) on items within Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) to retained earnings. We adopted this new standard on June 1, 2019.

New Accounting Standards and Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 that changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. These changes will be effective June 1, 2020 (fiscal 2021). We are assessing the impact of this new standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15 that reduces the complexity of accounting for costs of implementing a cloud computing service arrangement and aligns the accounting for capitalizing implementation costs of hosting arrangements, regardless of whether they convey a license to the hosted software. These changes will be effective June 1, 2020. We are assessing the impact of this new standard on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

TREASURY SHARES. In January 2016, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to 25 million shares. Shares under the current repurchase program may be repurchased from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and volume of repurchases are at the discretion of management, based on the capital needs of the business, the market price of FedEx common stock and general market conditions. No time limit was set for the completion of the program, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

We did not repurchase any shares of FedEx common stock during the second quarter of 2020. During the first half of 2020, we repurchased 0.02 million shares of FedEx common stock at an average price of $156.90 per share for a total of $3 million. As of November 30, 2019, 5.1 million shares remained under the stock repurchase authorization.

DIVIDENDS DECLARED PER COMMON SHARE. On November 15, 2019, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.65 per share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on January 2, 2020 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 9, 2019. Each quarterly dividend payment is subject to review and approval by our Board of Directors, and we evaluate our dividend payment amount on an annual basis.

(3) Financing Arrangements

We have a shelf registration statement filed with the SEC that allows us to sell, in one or more future offerings, any combination of our unsecured debt securities and common stock.

FEDEX CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

During the first quarter of 2020, we issued $2.1 billion of senior unsecured debt under our current shelf registration statement, comprised of $1.0 billion of 3.10% fixed-rate notes due in August 2029, €500 million of 0.45% fixed-rate notes due in August 2025 and €500 million of 1.30% fixed-rate notes due in August 2031. We used the net proceeds to make voluntary contributions to our tax-qualified U.S. domestic pension plans (“U.S. Pension Plans”) during the first quarter of 2020 and to redeem the $400 million aggregate principal amount of 2.30% notes due February 1, 2020 and the €500 million aggregate principal amount of 0.50% notes due April 9, 2020. The remaining net proceeds are being used for general corporate purposes.

We have a $2.0 billion five-year credit agreement (the “Five-Year Credit Agreement”) and a $1.5 billion 364-day credit agreement (the “364-Day Credit Agreement” and, together with the Five-Year Credit Agreement, the “Credit Agreements”). The Five-Year Credit Agreement expires in March 2024 and includes a $250 million letter of credit sublimit. The 364-Day Credit Agreement expires in March 2020. The Credit Agreements are available to finance our operations and other cash flow needs. The Credit Agreements contain a financial covenant requiring us to maintain a ratio of debt to consolidated earnings (excluding noncash retirement plans mark-to-market adjustments and noncash asset impairment charges) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”) of not more than 3.5 to 1.0, calculated as of the end of the applicable quarter on a rolling four-quarters basis. The ratio of our debt to adjusted EBITDA was 2.6 to 1.0 at November 30, 2019. We believe this covenant is the only significant restrictive covenant in the Credit Agreements. The Credit Agreements contain other customary covenants that do not, individually or in the aggregate, materially restrict the conduct of our business. We are in compliance with the financial covenant and all other covenants in the Credit Agreements and do not expect the covenants to affect our operations, including our liquidity or expected funding needs. If we failed to comply with the financial covenant or any other covenants in the Credit Agreements, our access to financing could become limited.

During the second quarter of 2020, we issued commercial paper to provide us with additional short-term liquidity. The maximum amount outstanding during the quarter was $150 million. Our commercial paper program is backed by unused commitments under the revolving credit facility, and borrowings under the program reduce the amount available under the credit facility. As of November 30, 2019, $150 million of commercial paper and $53 million in letters of credit were outstanding, leaving $3.297 billion available under the Credit Agreements for future borrowings.

Long-term debt, including current maturities and exclusive of finance leases, had carrying values of $18.6 billion at November 30, 2019 and $17.5 billion at May 31, 2019, compared with estimated fair values of $19.6 billion at November 30, 2019 and $17.8 billion at May 31, 2019. The annualized weighted-average interest rate on long-term debt was 3.5% at November 30, 2019. The estimated fair values were determined based on quoted market prices and the current rates offered for debt with similar terms and maturities. The fair value of our long-term debt is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. This classification is defined as a fair value determined using market-based inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the liability, either directly or indirectly.

(4) Computation of Earnings Per Share

The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the periods ended November 30 was as follows (in millions, except per share amounts):

(5) Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was 2.1% for the second quarter and 16.8% for the first half of 2020, compared with 20.6% for the second quarter and 22.3% for the first half of 2019. The 2020 tax rates were favorably impacted by $133 million from the reduction of a valuation allowance on certain foreign tax loss carryforwards due to operational changes which impacted the determination of the realizability of the deferred tax asset in that jurisdiction. The 2020 tax rates were negatively impacted by decreased earnings in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions. The 2019 tax rates were favorably impacted by the TCJA, which resulted in an approximate $60 million tax benefit from accelerated deductions claimed on our 2018 tax return filed in 2019.

(6) Retirement Plans

We sponsor programs that provide retirement benefits to most of our employees. These programs include defined benefit pension plans, defined contribution plans and postretirement healthcare plans. Key terms of our retirement plans are provided in our Annual Report.

FEDEX CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

During the second quarter of 2020, we announced the closing of our U.S.-based defined benefit pension plans to new non-union employees hired on or after January 1, 2020. We will introduce an all 401(k) plan retirement benefit structure for eligible employees with a higher company match of up to 8% across all U.S.-based operating companies. During 2020, current eligible employees under the Portable Pension Account (PPA) pension formula will be given a one-time option to continue to be eligible for pension compensation credits under the existing PPA formula and remain in the existing 401(k) plan with its match of up to 3.5%, or to cease receiving compensation credits under the pension plan and move to the new 401(k) plan with the higher match of up to 8%. Changes to the new 401(k) plan structure become effective beginning January 1, 2021. While this new program will provide employees greater flexibility and reduce our long-term pension costs, it will not have a material impact on current or near-term financial results.

(7) Business Segment Information

We provide a broad portfolio of transportation, e-commerce and business services through companies competing collectively, operating independently and managed collaboratively, under the respected FedEx brand. Our primary operating companies are FedEx Express, including TNT Express B.V. (“TNT Express”), the world’s largest express transportation company; FedEx Ground Package System, Inc. (“FedEx Ground”), a leading North American provider of small-package ground delivery services; and FedEx Freight Corporation (“FedEx Freight”), a leading North American provider of less-than-truckload (“LTL”) freight transportation services. These companies represent our major service lines and, along with FedEx Corporate Services, Inc. (“FedEx Services”), constitute our reportable segments.

Our reportable segments include the following businesses:

FedEx Express Segment | FedEx Express (express transportation)
| TNT Express (international express transportation, small-package ground delivery and freight transportation)
FedEx Ground Segment | FedEx Ground (small-package ground delivery)
FedEx Freight Segment | FedEx Freight (LTL freight transportation)
FedEx Services Segment | FedEx Services (sales, marketing, information technology, communications, customer service, technical support, billing and collection services and back-office functions)

References to our transportation segments include, collectively, the FedEx Express segment, the FedEx Ground segment and the FedEx Freight segment.

Effective June 1, 2019, the results of the FedEx Office operating segment are included in “Corporate, other and eliminations.” This change was made to reflect our internal management reporting structure. Prior year amounts have been revised to reflect current year presentation.

FedEx Services Segment

The FedEx Services segment operates combined sales, marketing, administrative and information-technology functions in shared services operations for U.S. customers of our major business units and certain back-office support to our operating segments which allows us to obtain synergies from the combination of these functions. For the international regions of FedEx Express, some of these functions are performed on a regional basis and reported by FedEx Express in their natural expense line items.

The FedEx Services segment provides direct and indirect support to our operating segments, and we allocate all of the net operating costs of the FedEx Services segment to reflect the full cost of operating our businesses in the results of those segments. We review and evaluate the performance of our transportation segments based on operating income (inclusive of FedEx Services segment allocations). For the FedEx Services segment, performance is evaluated based on the impact of its total allocated net operating costs on our operating segments.

Operating expenses for each of our transportation segments include the allocations from the FedEx Services segment to the respective transportation segments. These allocations also include charges and credits for administrative services provided between operating companies. The allocations of net operating costs are based on metrics such as relative revenues or estimated services provided. We believe these allocations approximate the net cost of providing these functions. Our allocation methodologies are refined periodically, as necessary, to reflect changes in our businesses.

Corporate, Other and Eliminations

Corporate and other includes corporate headquarters costs for executive officers and certain legal and finance functions, as well as certain other costs and credits not attributed to our core business. These costs are not allocated to the other business segments.

Also included in corporate and other is the FedEx Office operating segment, which provides an array of document and business services and retail access to our customers for our package transportation businesses, and the FedEx Logistics operating segment, which provides integrated supply chain management solutions, specialty transportation, cross-border e-commerce technology and e-commerce transportation solutions, customs brokerage and global ocean and air freight forwarding.

Certain FedEx operating companies provide transportation and related services for other FedEx companies outside their reportable segment. Billings for such services are based on negotiated rates, which we believe approximate fair value, and are reflected as revenues of the billing segment. These rates are adjusted from time to time based on market conditions. Such intersegment revenues and expenses are eliminated in our consolidated results and are not separately identified in the following segment information because the amounts are not material.

The following table provides a reconciliation of reportable segment revenues and operating income (loss) to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement totals for the periods ended November 30 (in millions):

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

As of November 30, 2019, FedEx has entered into additional leases which have not yet commenced and are therefore not part of the right-of-use asset and liability. These leases are generally for build-to-suit facilities and have undiscounted future payments of approximately $1.6 billion, and will commence when FedEx gains beneficial access to the leased asset. Commencement dates are expected to be from fiscal 2020 to fiscal 2022.

As previously disclosed in our Annual Report and under the previous lease accounting standard, future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases with an initial or remaining term in excess of one year at May 31, 2019 would have been as follows (in millions):

The amounts reflected in the table above for purchase commitments represent noncancelable agreements to purchase goods or services. As of November 30, 2019, our obligation to purchase six Boeing 777 Freighter (“B777F”) aircraft and four Boeing 767-300 Freighter (“B767F”) aircraft is conditioned upon there being no event that causes FedEx Express or its employees not to be covered by the Railway Labor Act of 1926, as amended. Open purchase orders that are cancelable are not considered unconditional purchase obligations for financial reporting purposes and are not included in the table above.

During the first quarter of 2020, FedEx Express exercised options to purchase an additional six B767F aircraft for delivery in 2022.

As of November 30, 2019, we had $735 million in deposits and progress payments on aircraft purchases and other planned aircraft-related transactions. These deposits are classified in the “Other assets” caption of our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Aircraft and related contracts are subject to price escalations. The following table is a summary of the key aircraft we are committed to purchase as of November 30, 2019 with the year of expected delivery:

(10) Contingencies

Service Provider Lawsuits. FedEx Ground is defending lawsuits in which it is alleged that FedEx Ground should be treated as an employer of drivers employed by service providers engaged by FedEx Ground. These cases are in varying stages of litigation, and we are not currently able to estimate an amount or range of potential loss in all of these matters. However, we do not expect to incur, individually or in the aggregate, a material loss in these matters. Nevertheless, adverse determinations in these matters could, among other things, entitle service providers’ drivers to certain wage payments from the service providers and FedEx Ground, and result in employment and withholding tax and benefit liability for FedEx Ground. We continue to believe that FedEx Ground is not an employer or joint employer of the drivers of these independent businesses.

Federal Securities Litigation and Derivative Lawsuits. On June 26, 2019 and July 2, 2019, FedEx and certain present and former officers were named as defendants in two putative class action securities lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaints, which have been consolidated, allege violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder relating to alleged misstatements or omissions in FedEx’s public filings with the SEC and other public statements during the period from September 19, 2017 to December 18, 2018. We are not currently able to estimate the probability of loss or the amount or range of potential loss, if any, at this stage of the litigation.

On September 17, 2019 and November 6, 2019, FedEx, its Board of Directors and certain present and former directors and officers were named as defendants in two stockholder derivative lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. The complaints repeat the allegations in the federal securities litigation complaints discussed above, and assert new claims against the FedEx Board of Directors and certain present and former directors and officers for breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, unjust enrichment, insider selling and violations of the federal proxy rules. We are not currently able to estimate the probability of loss or the amount or range of potential loss, if any, at this stage of the litigation.

Environmental Matters. SEC regulations require disclosure of certain environmental matters when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings and the proceedings involve potential monetary sanctions that management reasonably believes could exceed $100,000.

On July 26, 2019, FedEx Freight received a pre-litigation offer from the San Bernardino District Attorney’s Office in California to settle a civil action that the District Attorney intended to file against FedEx Freight for alleged violations of the state’s environmental and hazardous waste regulations. Specifically, the District Attorney alleged that between 2015 and 2018, FedEx Freight illegally transported and stored hazardous waste, failed to report releases of hazardous materials or substances, and unlawfully released oil into a storm drain. In September 2019, we reached an agreement to settle this matter for an immaterial amount. In October 2019, the settlement agreement was approved by the court.

Other Matters. FedEx and its subsidiaries are subject to other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business, including certain lawsuits containing various class-action allegations of wage-and-hour violations in which plaintiffs claim, among other things, that they were forced to work “off the clock,” were not paid overtime or were not provided work breaks or other benefits. In the opinion of management, the aggregate liability, if any, with respect to these other actions will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(12) Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements

We are required to present condensed consolidating financial information in order for the subsidiary guarantors of our public debt to continue to be exempt from reporting under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The guarantor subsidiaries, which are 100% owned by FedEx, guarantee $18.6 billion of our public debt. The guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. Our guarantor subsidiaries were not determined using geographic, service line or other similar criteria, and as a result, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries” and “Non-guarantor Subsidiaries” columns each include portions of our domestic and international operations. Accordingly, this basis of presentation is not intended to present our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows for any purpose other than to comply with the specific requirements for subsidiary guarantor reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

FedEx Corporation

Results of Review of Interim Financial Statements

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of FedEx Corporation (the Company) as of November 30, 2019, the related condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income and changes in common stockholders’ investment for the three-month and six-month periods ended November 30, 2019 and 2018, the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended November 30, 2019 and 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “condensed consolidated interim financial statements”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of May 31, 2019, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in common stockholders’ investment for the year then ended, and the related notes (not presented herein); and in our report dated July 16, 2019, we expressed an unqualified audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2019, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the PCAOB. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial statements consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition

GENERAL

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition (“MD&A”) describes the principal factors affecting the results of operations, liquidity, capital resources, contractual cash obligations and critical accounting estimates of FedEx Corporation (“FedEx”). This discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying quarterly unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2019 (“Annual Report”). Our Annual Report includes additional information about our significant accounting policies, practices and the transactions that underlie our financial results, as well as a detailed discussion of the most significant risks and uncertainties associated with our financial condition and operating results.

We provide a broad portfolio of transportation, e-commerce and business services through companies competing collectively, operating independently and managed collaboratively, under the respected FedEx brand. Our primary operating companies are Federal Express Corporation (“FedEx Express”), including TNT Express B.V. (“TNT Express”), the world’s largest express transportation company; FedEx Ground Package System, Inc. (“FedEx Ground”), a leading North American provider of small-package ground delivery services; and FedEx Freight Corporation (“FedEx Freight”), a leading North American provider of less-than-truckload (“LTL”) freight transportation services. These companies represent our major service lines and, along with FedEx Corporate Services, Inc. (“FedEx Services”), constitute our reportable segments.

Our FedEx Services segment provides sales, marketing, information technology, communications, customer service, technical support, billing and collection services, and certain back-office functions that support our operating segments. See “Reportable Segments” for further discussion. Additional information on our businesses can be found in our Annual Report.

As discussed in our Annual Report, as of June 1, 2019 the results of the FedEx Office and Print Services, Inc. (“FedEx Office”) operating segment are included in “Corporate, other and eliminations.” This change was made to reflect our internal management reporting structure. Prior year amounts have been revised to conform to the current year presentation.

The key indicators necessary to understand our operating results include:

• | the overall customer demand for our various services based on macroeconomic factors and the global economy;

• | the volumes of transportation services provided through our networks, primarily measured by our average daily volume and shipment weight and size;

• | the mix of services purchased by our customers;

• | the prices we obtain for our services, primarily measured by yield (revenue per package or pound or revenue per shipment or hundredweight for LTL freight shipments);

• | our ability to manage our cost structure (capital expenditures and operating expenses) to match shifting volume levels; and

• | the timing and amount of fluctuations in fuel prices and our ability to recover incremental fuel costs through our fuel surcharges.

Many of our operating expenses are directly impacted by revenue and volume levels, and we expect these operating expenses to fluctuate on a year-over-year basis consistent with changes in revenues and volumes. Therefore, the discussion of operating expense captions focuses on the key drivers and trends impacting expenses other than those factors strictly related to changes in revenues and volumes. The line item “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.

Except as otherwise specified, references to years indicate our fiscal year ending May 31, 2020 or ended May 31 of the year referenced and comparisons are to the corresponding period of the prior year. References to our transportation segments include, collectively, the FedEx Express segment, the FedEx Ground segment and the FedEx Freight segment.

Overview

Consolidated operating income declined during both the second quarter and first half of 2020 primarily due to weaker global economic conditions, increased costs to expand services, the loss of business from a large customer and the later timing of the Thanksgiving holiday, which shifted Cyber Week into December. Continued mix shift to lower-yielding services and an increased competitive pricing environment negatively impacted our results during the second quarter and first half of 2020. During the second quarter of 2020, we recorded asset impairment charges of $66 million ($50 million, net of tax, or $0.19 per diluted share) associated with the decision to permanently retire certain aircraft and related engines at FedEx Express (see “Asset Impairment Charges” below for more information). These factors were partially offset by lower variable incentive compensation expenses and increased yields at FedEx Freight. Lower variable incentive compensation expenses benefited the comparison of our results by approximately $65 million in the second quarter and $365 million in the first half of 2020. Our first half 2020 results were negatively impacted by approximately $100 million due to one fewer operating day.

Consolidated net income for the second quarter and first half of 2020 includes a tax benefit of $133 million ($0.51 per diluted share) from the reduction of a valuation allowance on certain foreign tax loss carryforwards. See the “Income Taxes” section below for more information.

We incurred TNT Express integration expenses totaling $6 4 million ($50 million, net of tax, or $0.19 per diluted share) in the second quarter and $1 3 5 million ($105 million, net of tax, or $0.40 per diluted share) in the first half of 20 20, a $50 million decrease from the second quarter and a $100 million decrease from the first half of 201 9. 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, and include any restructuring charges at TNT Express. Internal salaries and employee benefits are included only to the extent the individuals are assigned full-time to integration activities. These costs were incurred at FedEx Express and FedEx Corporate. The identification of these costs as integration-related expenditures is subject to our disclosure controls and procedures.

Revenue

Revenues decreased 3% in the second quarter and 1% in the first half of 2020 primarily due to the loss of business from a large customer, macroeconomic weakness and lower fuel surcharges at all of our transportation segments, partially offset by residential delivery volume growth at FedEx Ground. In addition, one fewer operating day at all of our transportation segments negatively impacted revenue in the first half of 2020. Revenues at FedEx Express decreased 5% in the second quarter and 4% in the first half of 2020 primarily due to the loss of business from a large customer, macroeconomic weakness and trade uncertainty driving lower freight revenue and unfavorable exchange rates. At FedEx Ground, revenues increased 3% in the second quarter of 2020 due to residential delivery volume growth. Revenues at FedEx Ground increased 6% in the first half of 2020 due to residential delivery volume growth and increased yields. Additionally, the timing of peak-related revenue shifting to the third quarter this year, as well as the loss of business from a large customer, negatively impacted revenue comparisons during the second quarter and first half of 2020. FedEx Freight revenues decreased 4% in the second quarter and 3% in the first half of 2020 due to decreased average daily shipments, partially offset by higher revenue per shipment.

The adoption of the new lease accounting standard during the second quarter and first half of 2020 resulted in a reclassification from other operating expense to rentals and landing fees expense of $4 4 million in the second quarter and $9 1 million in the first half of 2020 and maintenance and repairs expense to rentals and landing fees expense of $10 million in the second quarter and $2 2 million in the first half of 2020. These amounts were reclassified in order to properly align the lease and rental expenses to the appropriate line items in accordance with the new standard and are excluded from the following year-over-year expense change discussion.

Other operating expense increased 3% in the second quarter and 4% in the first half of 2020 primarily due to higher self-insurance accruals at FedEx Ground and higher outside service contract expense, including technology upgrades and regulatory and clearance cost increases at FedEx Express. Salaries and employee benefits expense decreased 2% in the first half of 2020 primarily due to lower variable incentive compensation expenses, partially offset by merit increases. Depreciation and amortization expense increased 9% in both the second quarter and first half of 2020 primarily due to continued strategic investment programs at all of our transportation segments. Maintenance and repairs expense increased 4% in the first half of 2020 primarily due to higher aircraft maintenance expense at FedEx Express. Rentals and landing fees increased 11% in the first half of 2020 primarily due to facility expansion at all of our transportation segments. Purchased transportation costs increased 1% in the first half of 2020 primarily due to increased contractor settlement rates and higher volumes at FedEx Ground, including expanding to six-day-per-week operations year-round in January 2019. These items were partially offset by favorable exchange rates at FedEx Express, lower utilization of third-party transportation providers at FedEx Freight and FedEx Express and decreased fuel costs at FedEx Ground and FedEx Freight.

Fuel

The following graph for our transportation segments shows our average cost of jet and vehicle fuel per gallon for the five most recent quarters:

Fuel expense decreased 15% in the second quarter and 14% in the first half of 2020 primarily due to decreased fuel prices. However, fuel prices represent only one component of the factors we consider meaningful in understanding the impact of fuel on our business. Consideration must also be given to the fuel surcharge revenue we collect. Accordingly, we believe discussion of the net impact of fuel on our results, which is a comparison of the year-over-year change in these two factors, is important to understand the impact of fuel on our business. In order to provide information about the impact of fuel surcharges on the trend in revenue and yield growth, we have included the comparative weighted-average fuel surcharge percentages in effect for the second quarters of 2020 and 2019 in the accompanying discussion of each of our transportation segments.

Most of our fuel surcharges are adjusted on a weekly basis. The fuel surcharge is based on a weekly fuel price from two weeks prior to the week in which it is assessed. Some FedEx Express international fuel surcharges incorporate a timing lag of approximately six to eight weeks.

The manner in which we purchase fuel also influences the net impact of fuel on our results. For example, our contracts for jet fuel purchases at FedEx Express are tied to various indices, including the U.S. Gulf Coast index. While many of these indices are aligned, each index may fluctuate at a different pace, driving variability in the prices paid for jet fuel. Furthermore, under these contractual arrangements, approximately 70% of our jet fuel is purchased based on the index price for the preceding week, with the remainder of our purchases tied to the index price for the preceding month and preceding day, rather than based on daily spot rates. These contractual provisions mitigate the impact of rapidly changing daily spot rates on our jet fuel purchases.

Because of the factors described above, our operating results may be affected should the market price of fuel suddenly change by a significant amount or change by amounts that do not result in an adjustment in our fuel surcharges, which can significantly affect our earnings either positively or negatively in the short-term.

The net impact of fuel had a slightly negative impact to operating income in the second quarter and first half of 2020 as lower fuel surcharges more than offset decreased fuel prices.

We routinely review our fuel surcharges. On March 18, 2019, we updated the tables used to determine our fuel surcharges for FedEx Express U.S. domestic services and at FedEx Ground. On September 10, 2018, we updated the tables used to determine our fuel surcharges at FedEx Express and FedEx Ground. The net impact of fuel on operating income described above and for each segment below excludes the impact from these table changes.

The net impact of fuel on our operating results does not consider the effects that fuel surcharge levels may have on our business, including changes in demand and shifts in the mix of services purchased by our customers. In addition, our purchased transportation expense may be impacted by fuel costs. While fluctuations in fuel surcharge percentages can be significant from period to period, fuel surcharges represent one of the many individual components of our pricing structure that impact our overall revenue and yield. Additional components include the mix of services sold, the base price and extra service charges we obtain for these services and the level of pricing discounts offered.

Asset Impairment Charges

During the second quarter of 2020, we made the decision to permanently retire from service 10 Airbus A310-300 aircraft and 12 related engines at FedEx Express to align with the needs of the U.S. domestic network and modernize its aircraft fleet. As a consequence of this decision, noncash impairment charges of $66 million ($50 million, net of tax, or $0.19 per diluted share) were recorded in the FedEx Express segment in the second quarter. Seven of these aircraft were temporarily idled.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was 2.1% for the second quarter and 16.8% for the first half of 2020, compared with 20.6% for the second quarter and 22.3% for the first half of 2019. The 2020 tax rates were favorably impacted by $133 million from the reduction of a valuation allowance on certain foreign tax loss carryforwards due to operational changes which impacted the determination of the realizability of the deferred tax asset in that jurisdiction. The 2020 tax rates were negatively impacted by decreased earnings in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions. The 2019 tax rates were favorably impacted by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”), which resulted in an approximate $60 million tax benefit from accelerated deductions claimed on our 2018 tax return filed in 2019.

We are subject to taxation in the United States and various U.S. state, local and foreign jurisdictions. We are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for the 2016 and 2017 tax years. In addition, during the second quarter of 2020, we reached an agreement in principle with the IRS Office of Appeals for the 2014 and 2015 tax years. As a result, we recorded an immaterial reduction to our liabilities for uncertain tax positions during the quarter. It is reasonably possible that certain income tax return proceedings will be completed during the next twelve months and could result in a change in our balance of unrecognized tax benefits. The impact of any changes is not expected to be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Outlook

We expect continued weak macroeconomic conditions to result in lower revenue growth for the remainder of 2020 at our transportation segments. In addition, a more competitive pricing environment and higher operating costs at FedEx Ground are anticipated to contribute to operating income declines for the remainder of 2020.

We anticipate that continued trade tensions, softness in European and Asia Pacific markets and declines in industrial production will continue to negatively impact our results for the remainder of 2020. Our international operations are much more sensitive to changes in global trade than our U.S. domestic operations because of the higher concentration of business-to-business shipments internationally. The softer economic outlook is expected to create an ongoing revenue shortfall from planned levels, particularly in Europe and Asia Pacific. Furthermore, the cost of maintaining two separate networks in Europe while we execute the TNT Express integration is expected to compound the impact of the revenue shortfall on our near-term results.

In the U.S. domestic package market, incremental costs associated with modernizing our FedEx Express network and permanently expanding our FedEx Ground network operations to seven days per week year-round, combined with volume declines from the loss of a large customer, has created a near-term cost-to-volume disparity. In addition, an increasingly competitive pricing environment is expected to continue pressuring our margins. However, we are confident that our investments in our U.S. domestic package operations will ultimately result in higher revenue that more than offsets the implementation costs associated with these programs.

In response to the current economic conditions, we have made adjustments to our FedEx Express U.S. domestic air network to better match capacity with deman d, as discussed in the “Asset Impairment Charges” section above. Throughout the remainder of 2020, we will make further network capacity changes at FedEx Express by reducing international flight hours. If global economic conditions deteriorate further, we may take additional actions to reduce the size of our FedEx Express network.

At FedEx Ground, we are focused on improving revenue quality through rate increases that will go into effect in January and through surcharges on oversized and additional handling shipments. We are also making investments in technology aimed at improving productivity and lowering costs.

For the remainder of 2020, we will continue to execute our TNT Express integration plans and are focused on completing projects across our European hub and station locations that will allow interoperability between the ground networks for both FedEx Express and TNT Express packages. In addition, we continue to focus on integrating the FedEx Express and TNT Express linehaul and pickup-and-delivery operations for the key countries in Europe, which represent a significant percentage of international revenue, workforces and facilities. Integration activities in Europe are complex and require consultations with works councils and employee representatives in a number of countries. By the end of 2020, we expect European ground network interoperability to be substantially completed. The next key integration milestones include completing the integration of the FedEx Express and TNT Express linehaul and pickup-and-delivery operations and completing a single portfolio of services during 2021. We expect to complete international air network interoperability during the first half of 2022. We expect to begin realizing synergies from the combined FedEx Express/TNT Express network during 2021 once the linehaul and pickup-and-delivery networks are optimized, and expect synergy realization to increase significantly after international air network interoperability is completed.

We expect to incur approximately $200 million of integration expenses in the remainder of 2020 in the form of professional fees, outside service contracts, salaries and wages and other operating expense. We expect the aggregate integration program expenses, including restructuring charges at TNT Express, to be approximately $1.7 billion through 2021, and we may incur additional costs, including investments that will further transform and optimize the combined businesses. The timing and amount of integration expenses and capital investments in any future period may change as we revise and implement our plans.

Our expectations for the remainder of 2020 are dependent on key external factors, including moderate U.S. economic growth, current fuel price expectations, no further weakening in international economic conditions from our current forecast and no additional adverse developments in international trade policies and relations.

Other Outlook Matters. For details on key 2020 capital projects, refer to the “Liquidity Outlook” section of this MD&A.

REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

FedEx Express, FedEx Ground and FedEx Freight represent our major service lines and, along with FedEx Services, constitute our reportable segments. Our reportable segments include the following businesses:

FedEx Express Segment | FedEx Express (express transportation)
| TNT Express (international express transportation, small-package ground delivery and freight transportation)
FedEx Ground Segment | FedEx Ground (small-package ground delivery)
FedEx Freight Segment | FedEx Freight (LTL freight transportation)
FedEx Services Segment | FedEx Services (sales, marketing, information technology, communications, customer service, technical support, billing and collection services and back-office functions)

FEDEX SERVICES SEGMENT

The operating expense line item “Intercompany charges” on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of our transportation segments reflects the allocations from the FedEx Services segment to the respective operating segments. The allocations of net operating costs are based on metrics such as relative revenues or estimated services provided.

The FedEx Services segment provides direct and indirect support to our operating segments, and we allocate all of the net operating costs of the FedEx Services segment to reflect the full cost of operating our businesses in the results of those segments. We review and evaluate the performance of our transportation segments based on operating income (inclusive of FedEx Services segment allocations). For the FedEx Services segment, performance is evaluated based on the impact of its total allocated net operating costs on our operating segments. We believe these allocations approximate the net cost of providing these functions. Our allocation methodologies are refined periodically, as necessary, to reflect changes in our businesses.

CORPORATE, OTHER AND ELIMINATIONS

Corporate and other includes corporate headquarters costs for executive officers and certain legal and finance functions, as well as certain other costs and credits not attributed to our core business. These costs are not allocated to the other business segments.

Also included in corporate and other is the FedEx Office operating segment, which provides an array of document and business services and retail access to our customers for our package transportation businesses, and the FedEx Logistics, Inc. operating segment, which provides integrated supply chain management solutions, specialty transportation, cross-border e-commerce technology and e-commerce transportation solutions, customs brokerage and global ocean and air freight forwarding.

Certain FedEx operating companies provide transportation and related services for other FedEx companies outside their reportable segment. Billings for such services are based on negotiated rates, which we believe approximate fair value, and are reflected as revenues of the billing segment. These rates are adjusted from time to time based on market conditions. Such intersegment revenues and expenses are eliminated in our consolidated results and are not separately identified in the following segment information because the amounts are not material.

FedEx Express Segment Revenues

FedEx Express segment revenues decreased 5% in the second quarter and 4% in the first half of 2020 primarily due to the loss of business from a large customer, macroeconomic weakness and trade uncertainty resulting in lower freight revenue, lower fuel surcharges and unfavorable exchange rates. In addition, one fewer operating day contributed to the decline in the first half of 2020.

Freight yields decreased 7% in the second quarter and 5% in the first half of 2020 primarily due to base yield declines, lower fuel surcharges and unfavorable exchange rates. Average daily freight pounds decreased 4% in the second quarter and 3% in the first half of 2020 primarily due to lower volume in freight services as a result of macroeconomic weakness and trade uncertainty. U.S. domestic package yields remained flat in both the second quarter and first half of 2020 as base rate improvement was offset by lower package weights and lower fuel surcharges. U.S. domestic package average daily volumes decreased 4% in the second quarter and 1% in the first half of 2020 driven by the loss of business from a large customer, partially offset by growth in overnight and deferred volume from other customers. International export package yields decreased 6% in the second quarter and 4% in the first half of 2020 driven by base yield declines, lower fuel surcharges and unfavorable exchange rates. International export package average daily volumes increased 3% in both the second quarter and first half of 2020 led by volume growth in Europe. However, international package volume growth has slowed across most regions as a result of macroeconomic weakness and trade uncertainty. International domestic package yields decreased 3% in the second quarter and 2% in the first half of 2020 as base yield improvement was more than offset by unfavorable exchange rates. International domestic package average daily volumes remained flat in the second quarter and decreased 1% in the first half of 2020 primarily due to targeted yield management actions.

FedEx Express’s U.S. domestic and outbound fuel surcharge and international fuel surcharge ranged as follows for the periods ended November 30:

On September 16, 2019, FedEx Express announced a 4.9% average list price increase for U.S. domestic, U.S. export and U.S. import services effective January 6, 2020. On March 18, 2019, we updated the tables used to determine our fuel surcharges for FedEx Express U.S. domestic services. On January 7, 2019, FedEx Express implemented a 4.9% average list price increase for U.S. domestic, U.S. export and U.S. import services. On September 10, 2018, we updated the tables used to determine our fuel surcharges at FedEx Express.

FedEx Express Segment Operating Income

FedEx Express segment operating income decreased 63% in the second quarter and 49% in the first half of 2020 primarily due to weaker global economic conditions and the loss of business from a large customer. In addition, continued mix shift to lower-yielding services and an increased competitive pricing environment negatively impacted our results during the second quarter and first half of 2020. Operating income and operating margin were negatively impacted by one fewer operating day in the first half of 2020. During the second quarter of 2020, we recorded asset impairment charges of $66 million associated with the decision to permanently retire certain aircraft and related engines (see “Asset Impairment Charges” above for more information). Lower variable incentive compensation expenses benefited operating income comparisons by approximately $35 million in the second quarter and $200 million in the first half of 2020.

FedEx Express segment results included $49 million of TNT Express integration expenses in the second quarter and $106 million of such expenses in the first half of 2020, a $50 million decrease from the second quarter and a $95 million decrease from the first half of 2019.

The lease standard reclassification discussed in the “Overview” section above is excluded from the following year-over-year expense change discussion. Purchased transportation expense decreased 6% in both the second quarter and first half of 2020 primarily due to favorable exchange rates and lower international freight volumes, resulting in lower utilization of third-party transportation providers. Other operating expense increased 3% in the second quarter and 4% in the first half of 2020 primarily due to higher outside service contract expense, includ ing technology upgrades and regulatory and clearance cost increases. Salaries and employee benefits expense decreased 2% in the first half of 2020 primarily due to lower variable incentive compensation expenses, favorable exchange rates and the inclusion of certain TNT Express restructuring expenses in the first quarter of 2019, partially offset by merit increases.

Fuel expense decreased 16% in the second quarter and 14% in the first half of 2020 due to decreased fuel prices. The net impact of fuel had a slightly negative impact to operating income in the second quarter and first half of 2020 as lower fuel surcharges more than offset decreased fuel prices. See the “Fuel” section of this MD&A for a description and additional discussion of the net impact of fuel on our operating results.

FedEx Ground Segment Revenues

FedEx Ground segment revenues increased 3% in the second quarter of 2020 due to residential delivery volume growth. Revenues increased 6% in the first half of 2020 due to residential delivery volume growth and increased yields, partially offset by one fewer operating day. In addition, the later timing of the Thanksgiving holiday, which shifted Cyber Week into December, as well as the loss of business from a large customer, negatively impacted revenue comparisons during the second quarter and first half of 2020.

Average daily volume increased 3% in the second quarter and 5% in the first half of 2020 primarily due to continued growth in residential services driven by e-commerce. FedEx Ground yields remained flat in the second quarter of 2020 as higher base yields were offset by lower fuel surcharges. FedEx Ground yields increased 1% in the first half of 2020 primarily due to higher base yields.

The FedEx Ground fuel surcharge is based on a rounded average of the national U.S. on-highway average price for a gallon of diesel fuel, as published by the Department of Energy. The fuel surcharge ranged as follows for the periods ended November 30:

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Six Months Ended |
|  | 2019 |  |  | 2018 |  |  | 2019 |  |  | 2018 |
Low |  |  | 6.75 | % |  |  | 6.25 | % |  |  | 6.75 | % |  |  | 6.25 | %

On September 16, 2019, FedEx Ground announced a 4.9% average list price increase effective January 6, 2020. On March 18, 2019, we updated the tables used to determine our fuel surcharges at FedEx Ground. On January 7, 2019, FedEx Ground implemented a 4.9% average list price increase. On September 10, 2018, we updated the tables used to determine our fuel surcharges at FedEx Ground.

FedEx Ground Segment Operating Income

FedEx Ground segment operating income decreased 42% in the second quarter and 22% in the first half of 2020 due to increased costs to expand services, higher self-insurance accruals and the later timing of the Thanksgiving holiday, which shifted Cyber Week into December. In addition, the loss of business from a large customer, as well as continued mix shift to lower-yielding services and an increased competitive pricing environment, negatively impacted our results during the second quarter and first half of 2020. These items were partially offset by residential delivery volume growth in both the second quarter and first half of 2020, as well as increased base yields in the first half of 2020. Additionally, lower variable incentive compensation expenses benefited operating income comparisons by approximately $10 million in the second quarter and $60 million in the first half of 2020.

The lease standard reclassification discussed in the “Overview” section above is excluded from the following year-over-year expense change discussion. Purchased transportation expense increased 9% in the second quarter and 10% in the first half of 2020 due to increased contractor settlement rates and higher volumes, including expanding to six-day per week operations year-round, partially offset by decreased fuel costs. Other operating expense increased 9% in both the second quarter and first half of 2020 primarily due to higher self-insurance accruals and increased bad debt expense. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased 9% in both the second quarter and first half of 2020 due to additional staffing to support volume growth, including current and anticipated expansion of year-round operations, network expansion and merit increases, partially offset by lower variable incentive compensation expenses.

The net impact of fuel had a slightly negative impact to operating income in the second quarter of 2020 as lower fuel surcharges more than offset decreased fuel prices. The net impact of fuel had a slight benefit to operating income in the first half of 2020 as decreased fuel prices more than offset lower fuel surcharges. See the “Fuel” section of this MD&A for a description and additional discussion of the net impact of fuel on our operating results.

Service Provider Transition

During the second quarter of 2020, FedEx Ground completed the previously announced transition to the Independent Service Provider agreement throughout its entire U.S. pickup-and-delivery network.

FedEx Freight Segment Revenues

FedEx Freight segment revenues decreased 4% in the second quarter and 3% in the first half of 2020 due to decreased average daily shipments, partially offset by higher revenue per shipment. In addition, one fewer operating day contributed to the decline in the first half of 2020.

Average daily shipments decreased 6% in the second quarter and 5% in the first half of 2020 due to lower demand for our service offerings as a result of softening economic conditions. Revenue per shipment increased 2% in both the second quarter and first half of 2020 primarily due to higher base rates reflecting our ongoing yield management initiatives, partially offset by lower weight per shipment and lower fuel surcharges.

The weekly indexed fuel surcharge is based on the average of the U.S. on-highway prices for a gallon of diesel fuel, as published by the Department of Energy. The indexed FedEx Freight fuel surcharge ranged as follows for the periods ended November 30:

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Six Months Ended |
|  | 2019 |  |  | 2018 |  |  | 2019 |  |  | 2018 |
Low |  |  | 23.50 | % |  |  | 24.90 | % |  |  | 23.50 | % |  |  | 24.60 | %

Weighted-average |  |  | 23.80 |  |  |  | 25.19 |  |  |  | 23.80 |  |  |  | 24.97 |

On September 16, 2019, FedEx Freight announced a 5.9% average list price increase in certain U.S. and other shipping rates effective January 6, 2020. On January 7, 2019, FedEx Freight implemented a 5.9% average list price increase in certain U.S. and other shipping rates.

FedEx Freight Segment Operating Income

FedEx Freight segment operating income decreased 5% in the second quarter of 2020, driven by decreased volumes resulting from softening economic conditions. FedEx Freight continues to focus on yield management, improving profit and aligning its cost structure with current and anticipated business levels, enabling FedEx Freight to significantly offset the impact of lower volumes from softening economic conditions. FedEx Freight segment operating income increased 3% in the first half of 2020 primarily due to higher revenue per shipment, despite moderating volumes. In addition, lower variable incentive compensation expenses benefited operating income comparisons by approximately $5 million in the second quarter and $35 million in the first half of 2020.

The lease standard reclassification discussed in the “Overview” section above is excluded from the following year-over-year expense change discussion. Purchased transportation expense decreased 25% in the second quarter and 27% in the first half of 2020 primarily due to lower utilization of third-party transportation providers. Depreciation and amortization expense increased 28% in the second quarter and 24% in the first half of 2020 due to investments in vehicles and trailers, as well as facility expansion.

Fuel expense decreased 12% in the second quarter and 11% in the first half of 2020 primarily due to decreased fuel prices. The net impact of fuel had a moderately negative impact to operating income in the second quarter and first half of 2020 as lower fuel surcharges more than offset decreased fuel prices. See the “Fuel” section of this MD&A for a description and additional discussion of the net impact of fuel on our operating results.

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of period |  | $ | 2,031 |  |  | $ | 2,123 |

Cash flows from operating activities decreased $105 million in the first half of 2020 primarily due to higher pension contributions and lower net income, partially offset by lower variable incentive compensation payments. Capital expenditures increased during the first half of 2020 primarily due to higher spending related to facilities and aircraft at FedEx Express, increased spending on vehicles and trailers at our transportation segments and increased spending on information technology at FedEx Services, FedEx Express and FedEx Freight. See “Capital Resources” for a discussion of capital expenditures during 2020 and 2019.

During the first quarter of 2020, we issued $2.1 billion of senior unsecured debt under our current shelf registration statement, comprised of $1.0 billion of 3.10% fixed-rate notes due in August 2029, €500 million of 0.45% fixed-rate notes due in August 2025 and €500 million of 1.30% fixed-rate notes due in August 2031. We used the net proceeds to make voluntary contributions to our tax-qualified U.S. domestic pension plans (“U.S. Pension Plans”) during the first quarter of 2020 and to redeem the $400 million aggregate principal amount of 2.30% notes due February 1, 2020 and the €500 million aggregate principal amount of 0.50% notes due April 9, 2020. The remaining net proceeds are being used for general corporate purposes.

During the second quarter of 2020, we issued commercial paper to provide us with additional short-term liquidity. As of November 30, 2019, we had $150 million of commercial paper outstanding. See Note 3 of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.

In January 2016, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program of up to 25 million shares. Shares under this repurchase program may be repurchased from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and volume of repurchases are at the discretion of management, based on the capital needs of the business, the market price of FedEx common stock and general market conditions. No time limit was set for the completion of the program, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. We did not repurchase any shares of FedEx common stock during the second quarter of 2020. During the first half of 2020, we repurchased 0.02 million shares of FedEx common stock at an average price of $156.90 per share for a total of $3 million. As of November 30, 2019, 5.1 million shares remained under the stock repurchase authorization.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our operations are capital intensive, characterized by significant investments in aircraft, vehicles and trailers, technology, facilities, and package handling and sort equipment. The amount and timing of capital additions depend on various factors, including pre-existing contractual commitments, anticipated volume growth, domestic and international economic conditions, new or enhanced services, geographical expansion of services, availability of satisfactory financing and actions of regulatory authorities.

Capital expenditures increased during the first half of 2020 primarily due to higher spending related to facilities and aircraft at FedEx Express, which included the delivery of seven Boeing 767-300 Freighter (“B767F”) aircraft and five Boeing 777 Freighter aircraft, increased spending on vehicles and trailers at our transportation segments and increased spending on information technology at FedEx Services, FedEx Express and FedEx Freight.

LIQUIDITY OUTLOOK

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations and available financing sources will be adequate to meet our liquidity needs, including working capital, capital expenditure requirements, debt payment obligations, pension contributions and TNT Express integration expenses. Our cash and cash equivalents balance at November 30, 2019 includes $1.1 billion of cash in foreign jurisdictions associated with our permanent reinvestment strategy. We are able to access the majority of this cash without a material tax cost, as the enactment of the TCJA significantly reduced the cost of repatriating foreign earnings from a U.S. tax perspective. We do not believe that the indefinite reinvestment of these funds impairs our ability to meet our U.S. domestic debt or working capital obligations.

Our capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $5.9 billion in 2020, and include spending for aircraft and hub modernization at FedEx Express, investments that increase our efficiency in handling large packages at FedEx Ground and investments in technology across all transportation segments that will further optimize our networks and enhance our capabilities. We invested $1.1 billion in aircraft and related equipment in the first half of 2020 and expect to invest an additional $0.4 billion for aircraft and related equipment during the remainder of 2020. In addition, we are making investments over multiple years in our facilities of approximately $1.5 billion to significantly expand the FedEx Express Indianapolis hub and approximately $1.5 billion to modernize the FedEx Express Memphis World Hub. Despite our declining capacity needs, these investments in hubs will provide productivity gains in a competitive labor environment. We anticipate that our cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund our capital expenditures in 2020. Historically, we have been successful in obtaining unsecured financing, from both domestic and international sources, although the marketplace for such investment capital can become restricted depending on a variety of economic factors.

During the first quarter of 2020, FedEx Express exercised options to purchase an additional six B767F aircraft for delivery in 2022.

We have a shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that allows us to sell, in one or more future offerings, any combination of our unsecured debt securities and common stock.

- 51 -

We have a $2.0 billion five-year credit agreement (the “Five-Year Credit Agreement”) and a $1.5 billion 364-day credit agreement (the “364-Day Credit Agreement” and, together with the Five-Year Credit Agreement, the “Credit Agreements”). The Five-Year Credit Agreement expires in March 2024 and includes a $250 million letter of credit sublimit. The 364-Day Credit Agreement expires in March 2020. The Credit Agreements are available to finance our operations and other cash flow needs. See Note 3 of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of the terms and significant covenants of the Credit Agreements.

During the first half of 2020, we made voluntary contributions totaling $1.0 billion to our U.S. Pension Plans. We do not expect to make any additional contributions to our U.S. Pension Plans for the remainder of 2020. Our U.S. Pension Plans have ample funds to meet expected benefit payments.

Standard & Poor’s has assigned us a senior unsecured debt credit rating of BBB, a commercial paper rating of A-2 and a ratings outlook of “stable.” Moody’s Investors Service has assigned us an unsecured debt credit rating of Baa2, a commercial paper rating of P-2 and a ratings outlook of “negative.” If our credit ratings drop, our interest expense may increase. If our commercial paper ratings drop below current levels, we may have difficulty utilizing the commercial paper market. If our senior unsecured debt credit ratings drop below investment grade, our access to financing may become limited.

| (1) | Cash obligations for the remainder of 2020.

Included in the table above within the caption entitled “Non-capital purchase obligations and other” is our estimate of the current portion of the liability ($99 million) for uncertain tax positions. We cannot reasonably estimate the timing of the long-term payments or the amount by which the liability will increase or decrease over time; therefore, the long-term portion of the liability ($36 million) is excluded from the table.

We had $735 million in deposits and progress payments as of November 30, 2019 on aircraft purchases and other planned aircraft-related transactions.

The amounts reflected in the table above for finance leases represent undiscounted future minimum lease payments under noncancelable finance leases with an initial or remaining term in excess of one year at November 30, 2019.

Additional information on amounts included within the operating, investing and financing activities captions in the table above can be found in our Annual Report.

We do not have any guarantees or other off-balance sheet financing arrangements, including variable interest entities, which we believe could have a material impact on our financial condition or liquidity.

OTHER BUSINESS MATTERS

During the first quarter of 2020, FedEx filed suit in U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia seeking to enjoin the U.S. Department of Commerce from enforcing prohibitions contained in the Export Administration Regulations (the “EARs”) against FedEx. FedEx believes that the EARs violate common carriers’ rights to due process under the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution as they unreasonably hold common carriers strictly liable for shipments that may violate the EARs without requiring evidence that the carriers had knowledge of any violations.

The China State Post Bureau is currently conducting an investigation into the operations of FedEx Express regarding its handling of certain packages while attempting to comply with the EARs. FedEx Express has and will continue to fully cooperate with the Chinese authorities on the investigation.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make significant judgments and estimates to develop amounts reflected and disclosed in the financial statements. In many cases, there are alternative policies or estimation techniques that could be used. We maintain a thorough process to review the application of our accounting policies and to evaluate the appropriateness of the many estimates that are required to prepare the financial statements of a complex, global corporation. However, even under optimal circumstances, estimates routinely require adjustment based on changing circumstances and new or better information.

GOODWILL. Goodwill is tested for impairment between annual tests whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit has fallen below its carrying value. We do not believe there has been any other change of events or circumstances that would indicate that a reevaluation of the goodwill of our reporting units is required as of November 30, 2019, nor do we believe the goodwill of our reporting units is at risk of failing impairment testing. For additional details on goodwill impairment testing, refer to Note 1 to the financial statements included in our Annual Report.

Information regarding our critical accounting estimates can be found in our Annual Report, including Note 1 to the financial statements therein. Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors and with our independent registered public accounting firm.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As of November 30, 2019, there were no material changes in our market risk sensitive instruments and positions since our disclosures in our Annual Report.

The principal foreign currency exchange rate risks to which we are exposed relate to the euro, Chinese yuan, British pound, Canadian dollar, Australian dollar and Mexican peso. Historically, our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is more significant with respect to our revenues than our expenses, as a significant portion of our expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars, such as aircraft and fuel expenses. During the first half of 2020, the U.S. dollar strengthened relative to the currencies of the foreign countries in which we operate, as compared to May 31, 2019, and this strengthening had a slightly positive impact on our results.

While we have market risk for changes in the price of jet and vehicle fuel, this risk is largely mitigated by our indexed fuel surcharges. For additional discussion of our indexed fuel surcharges, see the “Fuel” section of “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition.”

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The management of FedEx, with the participation of our principal executive and financial officers, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, including ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to FedEx management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive and financial officers have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of November 30, 2019 (the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

In the first quarter of 2020, we adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), and began implementing new systems and internal controls in conjunction with the new lease standard. The implementation of such systems and internal controls continued in the second quarter of 2020. In addition, we have begun the process of migrating to an enterprise resource planning cloud-based financial system, and during the second quarter of 2020 began the implementation of new internal controls in conjunction with this migration. During our fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2019, no change occurred in our internal control over financial reporting, including the new controls described above, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

For a description of all material pending legal proceedings, see Note 10 of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Other than the risk factors set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report (under the heading “Risk Factors” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition”) in response to Part I, Item 1A of Form 10-K.

Additional changes in international trade policies and relations could significantly reduce the volume of goods transported globally and adversely affect our business and results of operations. The U.S. government has made significant changes in U.S. trade policy and has taken certain actions that have negatively impacted U.S. trade, including imposing tariffs on certain goods imported into the United States. To date, several governments, including the European Union (“EU”), China and India, have imposed tariffs on certain goods imported from the United States. These actions contributed to weakness in the global economy that adversely affected our results of operations during fiscal 2019 and the first half of fiscal 2020, and we expect such weakness to continue to be present during the remainder of fiscal 2020. Any further changes in U.S. or international trade policy could trigger additional retaliatory actions by affected countries, resulting in “trade wars” and further increased costs for goods transported globally, which may reduce customer demand for these products if the parties having to pay those tariffs increase their prices, or in trading partners limiting their trade with countries that impose anti-trade measures. Political uncertainty surrounding international trade and other disputes could also have a negative effect on consumer confidence and spending. Such conditions could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition, as well as on the price of our common stock.

Additionally, the U.S. government has recently taken action to limit the ability of domestic companies to engage in commerce with certain foreign entities under certain circumstances. Given the nature of our business and our global recognizability, foreign governments may target FedEx by limiting the ability of foreign entities to do business with us in certain instances, imposing monetary or other penalties or taking other retaliatory action, which could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition, as well as on the price of our common stock. For example, the China State Post Bureau is currently conducting an investigation into the operations of FedEx Express regarding its handling of certain packages while attempting to comply with the Export Administration Regulations.

The United Kingdom’s expected withdrawal from the EU could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. Following recent European Parliament elections and the general election in the United Kingdom, it is expected that the United Kingdom and EU will enter into a withdrawal agreement pursuant to which the United Kingdom will leave the EU (“Brexit”) on January 31, 2020, but maintain access to the EU single market and to the global trade deals negotiated by the EU on behalf of its members, and remain subject to EU law, for a transition period ending on December 31, 2020. The suspension or further delay of Brexit beyond January 31, 2020 requires the unanimous agreement of all remaining EU member states.

The ongoing uncertainty within the United Kingdom’s government and Parliament on the status of Brexit has negatively impacted the United Kingdom’s economy, and will likely continue to have a negative impact until the United Kingdom and EU reach a definitive resolution on the outstanding trade and legal matters. Any additional impact of Brexit will depend on the terms of such resolution. Even if the United Kingdom maintains access to the EU single market and trade deals following the transition period, Brexit could result in further economic downturn globally. If the United Kingdom ultimately loses access to the EU single market and trade deals, significant market and economic disruption would likely occur, our customer experience, service quality and international operations would likely be negatively impacted, and the demand for our services could be depressed.

Additionally, we may face new regulations regarding trade, aviation, tax, security and employees, among others, in the United Kingdom. Compliance with such regulations could be costly, negatively impacting our business, results of operations and financial condition. Brexit could also adversely affect European and worldwide economic and market conditions and could contribute to instability in global financial and foreign exchange markets, including volatility in the value of the euro and the British pound.

- 57 -

Proposed pilot flight and duty time regulations could impair our operations and impose substantial costs on us. In September 2010, the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) proposed regulations that would change the flight and duty time rules applicable to all-cargo air carriers. When the FAA issued final regulations in December 2011 (the “2011 regulations”), all-cargo carriers, including FedEx Express, were exempt from these new requirements. Instead, all-cargo carriers were required to continue complying with previously enacted flight and duty time rules and allowed to pursue the development of fatigue risk management systems to develop fatigue mitigations unique to each operation. In December 2012, the FAA reaffirmed the exclusion of all-cargo carriers from the 2011 regulations, and litigation in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia affirmed the FAA’s decision. However, legislation has recently been introduced in the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives that, if adopted, would require all-cargo carriers to comply with the 2011 regulations. Required compliance with the 2011 regulations would make it more difficult to avoid pilot fatigue and could impose substantial costs on us in order to maintain operational reliability.

- 58 -

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

We did not repurchase any shares of FedEx common stock during the second quarter of 2020.

On January 26, 2016, we announced a stock repurchase program approved by our Board of Directors, through which we are authorized to purchase, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, up to an aggregate of 25 million shares of our common stock. As of December 13, 2019, 5.1 million shares remained authorized for purchase under the January 2016 stock repurchase program, which is the only such program that currently exists. The program does not have an expiration date. See Note 1 of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
