Liquidity Outlook

In response to current business and economic conditions as referenced above in the “Outlook” section of this MD&A, we are continuing to actively manage and optimize our capital allocation in response to the slowdown in the economy, inflationary pressures, changing fuel prices, geopolitical conflicts, and uncertainty regarding international trade, including the impact of global trade policy changes.

We held $13.3 billion in cash and cash equivalents at May 31, 2026 and had $2.8 billion in available liquidity under our $1.75 billion three-year credit agreement (the “Three-Year Credit Agreement”) and $1.75 billion five-year credit agreement (the “Five-Year Credit Agreement” and together with the Three-Year Credit Agreement, the “Credit Agreements”), after offsetting outstanding commercial paper borrowings. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations, and available financing sources will be adequate in the short-term and long-term to meet our liquidity needs, which include operational requirements, expected capital expenditures, voluntary pension contributions, dividend payments, and stock repurchases. See Note 6 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for information regarding recent amendments to the Credit Agreements.

Our cash and cash equivalents balance at May 31, 2026 includes $4.3 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 and do not believe that the indefinite reinvestment of these funds impairs our ability to meet our U.S. domestic debt or working capital obligations.

On July 1, 2026, FedEx announced that it would sell its FedEx Supply Chain business to CMA CGM Group for $1.4 billion as part of a strategic portfolio streamlining effort. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of calendar year 2026. See Note 20 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for more information.

In July 2026, FedEx utilized the $4.1 billion dividend received from FedEx Freight Holding, together with cash on hand, to repurchase approximately $4.9 billion aggregate principal amount of its outstanding debt securities. See Note 20 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for more information.

Our capital expenditures during calendar year 2026 are expected to be approximately $3.9 billion, $0.4 billion higher than calendar year 2025. The increase is primarily driven by accelerated investment in Network 2.0 initiatives and modernization of U.S. Domestic and International facilities. Aircraft spend is expected to be approximately $1.0 billion for calendar year 2026. Historical and projected capital expenditures exclude FedEx Freight.

On February 9, 2026, InPost S.A. (“InPost”) and a consortium including FedEx announced a conditional agreement on an intended recommended all-cash public offer for all issued and outstanding shares of InPost at an offer price of €15.60 (cum dividend) per share (the “Offer”). Post-completion, the consortium will be structured with FedEx holding 37%. InPost will continue to operate as a standalone company. The Offer and the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Transaction”) are subject to certain customary closing conditions, including, among others, the receipt of regulatory approvals. Based upon the proposed Offer price, FedEx’s investment will be valued at approximately €2.20 billion. FedEx intends to fund its portion of the Offer by utilizing available cash balances, existing or new liquidity sources, or a combination thereof. Once the Transaction is completed, InPost and FedEx will enter into arm’s length commercial agreements that will enable both businesses to benefit from complementary strengths and a shared vision. The Transaction is expected to be completed in the second half of calendar year 2026.

In June 2026, we repurchased $0.3 billion of our common stock through open market transactions and executed an ASR agreement to repurchase $1.0 billion of our common stock with a completion date by the end of September 2026. There are no amounts remaining available to be used for repurchases under the 2024 program. On July 20, 2026, our Board of Directors authorized a new stock repurchase program for additional repurchases of up to $5.0 billion of FedEx common stock (“2026 program”). Shares under the 2026 program may be repurchased from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The program does not have any specified time limit and does not obligate us to purchase any particular amount of shares, but our Board of Directors may determine to suspend or discontinue the program at any time. See “Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities” and Note 20 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for more information regarding our stock repurchase programs and purchases made under the 2024 program through July 20, 2026.

During calendar year 2026, we anticipate making voluntary contributions of $475 million to our tax-qualified U.S. domestic pension plan (“U.S. Pension Plan”). There are currently no required minimum contributions to our U.S. Pension Plan, and we maintain a credit balance related to our cumulative excess voluntary pension contributions over those required that exceeds $3.0 billion. The credit balance is subtracted from plan assets to determine the minimum funding requirements. Therefore, we have the flexibility to eliminate all required contributions to our principal U.S. Pension Plan for several years. Our U.S. Pension Plan has ample funds to meet expected benefit payments.

On June 8, 2026, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.22 per share of common stock. The dividend of $292 million was paid on July 7, 2026 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 22, 2026. 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. There are no material restrictions on our ability to declare dividends, nor are there any material restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to transfer funds to us in the form of cash dividends, loans, or advances.

We have several aircraft modernization programs led by the purchase of Boeing 777 Freighters (“B777F”). These aircraft are significantly more fuel-efficient per unit than the aircraft types previously utilized, and these expenditures are necessary to achieve significant long-term operating savings and to replace older aircraft. Our ability to delay the timing of these aircraft-related expenditures is limited without incurring significant costs to modify existing purchase agreements.

We have additional obligations as part of our ordinary course of business, beyond those committed for capital expenditures, which consist of debt obligations, lease obligations, and obligations and commitments for purchases of goods and services. Refer to Note 6, Note 7, and Note 17 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for more information. In addition, we have certain tax positions that are further discussed in Note 11 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. 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.

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.

The Three-Year Credit Agreement and the Five-Year Credit Agreement expire in March 2028 and March 2030, respectively. 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 May 31, 2026, no amounts were outstanding under the Credit Agreements, $750 million of commercial paper was outstanding, and we had $250 million of the letter of credit sublimit unused under the Credit Agreements. See Note 6 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a description of the terms and significant covenants of the Credit Agreements.

Standard & Poor’s has assigned us a senior unsecured debt credit rating of BBB, a Certificates rating of AA-, 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 Certificates rating of Aa3, a commercial paper rating of P-2, and a ratings outlook of “stable.” Our interest expense may increase in the event of a reduction in our credit rating. If our unsecured debt or commercial paper ratings are reduced to below investment grade, our access to the capital markets may become limited.
