Business Combinations [Abstract] |
Business Combinations | NOTE 4: BUSINESS COMBINATIONS On December 23, 2020, we acquired ShopRunner, Inc. (“ShopRunner”), an e-commerce platform that directly connects brands and merchants with online shoppers, for $228 million in cash from operations. The majority of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill and intangibles. The financial results of ShopRunner are included in “Corporate, other and eliminations” from the date of acquisition and were not material to our results of operations; therefore, pro forma financial information has not been provided. On May 1, 2019, we acquired the international express division of FC (Flying Cargo) Express Ltd. for $67 million in cash from operations. The majority of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill. The financial results of this acquired business are included in the FedEx Express segment from the date of acquisition and were not material to our results of operations; therefore, pro forma financial information has not been provided. On October 1, 2018, we acquired the controlling interest in an existing joint venture with Swiss Post, which operates a Swiss-wide transport system with connections to TNT Express’s global network. The controlling interest was acquired through the noncash contribution of a complementary Swiss business into the venture, resulting in the recognition of an immaterial gain. The majority of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill and other intangibles. The financial results of this acquired business are included in the FedEx Express segment from the date of acquisition and were not material to our results of operations; therefore, pro forma financial information has not been provided.
