NOTE 4: FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
Long-term debt, including current maturities and exclusive of finance leases, had carrying values of $24.1 billion at February 28, 2026 and $19.9 billion at May 31, 2025, with estimated fair values of $22.7 billion at February 28, 2026 and $17.2 billion at May 31, 2025. The annualized weighted-average interest rate on long-term debt was 3.76% at February 28, 2026. 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.
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 and allows pass-through trusts formed by Federal Express to sell, in one or more future offerings, pass-through certificates.
FEDEX CORPORATION.
Long-Term Debt
During the first quarter of 2026, we issued €850 million of senior unsecured debt under our current shelf registration statement, comprised of €500 million of 3.50% fixed-rate notes due in July 2032 and €350 million of 4.13% fixed-rate notes due in July 2037. We used a portion of the net proceeds to repay the €500 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 0.45% notes due at maturity in August 2025. The remaining net proceeds may be used for general corporate purposes.
Credit Agreements
We have a $1.75 billion three-year credit agreement (the “Three-Year Credit Agreement”) and a $1.75 billion five-year credit agreement (the “Five-Year Credit Agreement” and together with the Three-Year Credit Agreement, the “Credit Agreements”). Each of the Credit Agreements has a $125 million letter of credit sublimit. The Credit Agreements are available to finance our operations and other cash flow needs. As of February 28, 2026, no amounts were outstanding under the Credit Agreements, no commercial paper was outstanding, and we had $250 million of the letter of credit sublimit unused under the Credit Agreements. Our commercial paper program is backed by unused commitments under the Credit Agreements, and borrowings under the program reduce the amount available under the Credit Agreements.
During the second quarter of 2026, we amended the Credit Agreements with a syndicate of banks and other financial institutions to update certain provisions in anticipation of the planned spin-off of FedEx Freight and incorporate certain other customary changes. Among other changes, the amendments (i) will release FedEx Freight from its guarantees under the Credit Agreements upon consummation of the planned spin-off of FedEx Freight and (ii) extend the expiration of the Three-Year Credit Agreement from March 2027 to March 2028 and the expiration of the Five-Year Credit Agreement from March 2029 to March 2030.
The Credit Agreements contain a financial covenant requiring us to maintain a ratio of debt (excluding debt incurred by affiliates of FedEx Freight to finance distributions to FedEx and other transactions related to the planned spin-off of FedEx Freight and certain other customary items) to consolidated earnings (excluding noncash retirement plans mark-to-market adjustments; noncash pension service costs; noncash asset impairment charges; and, subject to certain limitations, business optimization and restructuring expenses, pro forma cost savings and synergies associated with an acquisition, and transaction costs, fees, and expenses and synergies and cost savings related to the planned spin-off of FedEx Freight) before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”) of not more than 3.5 to 1.0, calculated as of the last day of each fiscal quarter on a rolling four-quarters basis.
The ratio of our debt to adjusted EBITDA was 1.9 at February 28, 2026. Additional information on the financial covenant can be found in our Annual Report.
The financial covenant discussed above 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.
FEDERAL EXPRESS.
Long-Term Debt
Federal Express has issued $970 million of Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2020-1AA (the “Certificates”) with a fixed interest rate of 1.88% due in February 2034 utilizing pass-through trusts. The Certificates are secured by 19 Boeing aircraft with a net book value of $1.5 billion at February 28, 2026. The payment obligations of Federal Express in respect of the Certificates are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by FedEx.

FEDEX FREIGHT HOLDING.
Unsecured Notes
On February 5, 2026, FedEx Freight Holding issued $3.7 billion of senior unsecured debt in an unregistered offering, comprised of $1.0 billion of 4.30% fixed-rate notes due in March 2029, $1.0 billion of 4.65% fixed-rate notes due in March 2031, $700 million of 4.95% fixed-rate notes due in March 2033, and $1.0 billion of 5.25% fixed-rate notes due in March 2036 (together, the “FedEx Freight Notes”). FedEx Freight Holding has agreed to file with the SEC an exchange registration statement with respect to an exchange offer for the FedEx Freight Notes and the related guarantees or a shelf registration statement for the resale of the FedEx Freight Notes and the related guarantees.
Credit Facilities
On January 15, 2026, FedEx Freight Holding entered into (i) afive-year revolving credit facility in an aggregate committed amount of $1.2 billion (the “FedEx Freight Revolving Credit Facility”) and (ii) athree-year delayed draw term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $600 million (the “FedEx Freight Term Loan Facility” and together with the FedEx Freight Revolving Credit Facility, the “FedEx Freight Credit Agreements”). The availability of borrowings under the commitments in respect of the FedEx Freight Revolving Credit Facility is conditioned on the consummation of the spin-off of FedEx Freight and the funding of the term loan facility is conditioned on the good faith anticipation of the spin-off of FedEx Freight occurring within five business days after such funding.
FedEx Freight Holding will distribute the net proceeds of the FedEx Freight Notes and the FedEx Freight Term Loan Facility to FedEx as consideration for FedEx’s contribution of assets to FedEx Freight Holding in connection with the spin-off.
FedEx Freight Holding’s obligations under the FedEx Freight Notes and the FedEx Freight Credit Agreements are jointly and severally guaranteed by FedEx and FedEx Freight until the consummation of the spin-off, at which point FedEx will be automatically released from such respective guarantees.
See Note 1 for additional information about the related restricted cash and use of proceeds.

NOTE 7: BUSINESS SEGMENTS AND DISAGGREGATED REVENUE
Federal Express and FedEx Freight represent our major service lines and constitute our reportable segments. Our reportable segments include the following businesses:
| Federal Express Segment | Federal Express (express transportation, small-package ground delivery, and freight transportation) |
|---|---|
| FedEx Freight Segment | FedEx Freight (LTL freight transportation)FedEx Custom Critical, Inc. (time-critical transportation) |
References to our transportation segments include, collectively, the Federal Express segment and the FedEx Freight segment.
Our Chief Executive Officer is our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The CODM is responsible for the company’s operating strategy, growth, and profitability and reviews financial information for ourtwo reportable segments. The CODM uses operating income as the primary measure of segment performance because it reflects the underlying business performance and provides the CODM with a basis for making resource allocation decisions. Operating income is defined as income before other income (expense), interest expense, and income tax expense. Our CODM also utilizes operating income in the annual budget and monthly forecasting
-17- processes and considers forecast-to-actual variances on a monthly basis when making resource allocation decisions. Our CODM regularly reviews significant expense details, which include salaries and employee benefits, purchased transportation, rentals and landing fees, depreciation and amortization, fuel, maintenance and repairs, separation and other costs, business optimization costs, and other operating expenses. These expense categories are included within operating expenses in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and are used by the CODM in assessing performance and allocating resources.
The Federal Express segment operates combined sales, marketing, administrative, and information-technology functions in shared service operations for U.S. customers of our major business units and certain back-office support to FedEx Freight and our other operating segments which allows us to obtain synergies from the combination of these functions. We allocate the net operating costs of these services to reflect the full cost of operating our businesses in the results of those segments. We review and evaluate the performance of FedEx Freight and our other operating segments based on operating income inclusive of these allocations.
Operating expenses for our FedEx Freight segment include allocations of these services from the Federal Express segment. 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 revenue 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, certain other costs and credits not attributed to our core business, and certain costs associated with developing integrated business solutions through our FedEx Dataworks, Inc. (“FedEx Dataworks”) operating segment. FedEx Dataworks is focused on creating new digital revenue streams using proven FedEx intelligence to digitize supply chains and create new opportunities for our customers and team members.
Also included in Corporate and other is the FedEx Office and Print Services, Inc. (“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. (“FedEx Logistics”) operating segment, which provides integrated supply chain management solutions, specialty transportation, customs brokerage, and global ocean and air freight forwarding.
The results of Corporate, other, and eliminations are not allocated to the other business segments.
Certain FedEx operating companies provide transportation and related services for other FedEx companies outside their reportable segment in order to optimize our resources. Billings for such services are based on negotiated rates and are reflected as revenue of the billing segment. These rates are adjusted from time to time based on market conditions. Such intersegment revenue and expenses are eliminated in our consolidated results and are not separately identified in the following segment information because the amounts are not material.

While certain of our lease agreements contain covenants governing the use of the leased assets or require us to maintain certain levels of insurance, none of our lease agreements include material financial covenants or limitations.
As of February 28, 2026, 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 $1.3 billion that will commence when FedEx gains beneficial access to the leased asset. Commencement dates are expected to be from calendar years 2026 to 2027.
NOTE 9: CONTINGENCIES
Litigation Matters. FedEx and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal proceedings and claims, including lawsuits alleging that Federal Express should be treated as the employer or joint employer of drivers employed by service providers engaged by Federal Express, 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, and lawsuits alleging that FedEx and its subsidiaries are responsible for third-party losses related to vehicle accidents that could exceed our insurance coverage for such losses. In the opinion of management, the aggregate liability, if any, with respect to these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision invalidating tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (“IEEPA”). On February 23, 2026, FedEx filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Court of International Trade against the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”), the CBP commissioner, and the United States of America seeking a full refund of all IEEPA tariffs that FedEx has paid to the United States. Additionally, five class action lawsuits seeking refunds of IEEPA tariffs from FedEx were filed in U.S. district courts in South Carolina, Florida, New York, Tennessee, and Delaware. The financial impact of these events is uncertain, as it is unclear to what extent duties will be refunded by CBP, what processes will govern such refunds, or if we can fully collect related accounts receivable. We are evaluating the impact of these developments on our business and financial statements. No adjustments have been recorded in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as we cannot reasonably estimate the financial impact; however, it is reasonably possible that it could be material.

Environmental Matters. SEC regulations require us to disclose certain information about proceedings arising under federal, state, or local environmental provisions involving a governmental authority as a party if we reasonably believe that such proceedings may result in monetary sanctions above a stated threshold. Pursuant to the SEC regulations, FedEx uses a threshold of $1 million or more for purposes of determining whether disclosure of any such proceedings is required. Applying this threshold, there are no environmental matters required to be disclosed for this period.
