Pay Versus Performance

Under rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act, FedEx is required to calculate and disclose information about the relationship between executive “compensation actually paid” (“CAP”) and certain financial performance measures of FedEx. “Compensation actually paid,” as determined pursuant to Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K adopted by the SEC, reflects adjusted values to unvested and vested equity awards during the years shown in the table based on year-end stock prices, various accounting valuation assumptions, and projected performance modifiers but does not reflect actual compensation paid for those awards. CAP generally fluctuates due to stock price changes and varying levels of projected and actual achievement of performance goals. For a discussion of how our Compensation & HR Committee assessed FedEx’s performance and the performance of our Chief Executive Officer and our other named executive officers for purposes of determining pay each year, see “Executive Compensation — Compensation Discussion and Analysis” in this proxy statement and in our proxy statements for 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021.

For further information about our compensation philosophy and the pay-for-performance nature of our executive compensation program, please see “Executive Compensation — Compensation Discussion and Analysis” beginning on page 43.

See “Executive Compensation — Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Compensation Elements” for a discussion of how adjusted consolidated operating income is used in our executive compensation program. See Appendix C for a reconciliation of adjusted consolidated operating income to the most directly comparable GAAP measure for fiscal 2024, 2023, and 2022. GAAP consolidated operating income was the performance measure for the fiscal 2021 AIC plan.
