Financial Metrics and Segment Changes

- New Reportable Segments: Federal Express and FedEx Freight.
- Reclassification: FedEx Custom Critical, Inc. will be included in the FedEx Freight segment rather than the Federal Express segment starting in fiscal 2025.
- Recasted Data: Exhibit 99.1 contains annual and quarterly financial and operating results for fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 recast to reflect this new presentation.
Material Changes and Outlook
The primary material change is the legal and operational consolidation of FedEx Ground and FedEx Services into Federal Express. The filing notes that the information provided, including the recasted financial results in Exhibit 99.1, is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 and is not deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor is it incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933.
Key Investor Verification Points
