As of September 30, 2026, we had $565 million in deposits and progress payments on aircraft purchases and other planned aircraft-related transactions. These deposits are classified in the “Goodwill and other assets” caption of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Aircraft and aircraft-related contracts are subject to price escalations.

As of September 30, 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 2028.
NOTE 11: 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
-23- coverage for such losses. FedEx maintains excess insurance coverage for losses exceeding self-insured retentions. Conditions in the excess insurance market have become increasingly challenging, with insurers reducing available capacity, significantly increasing premiums, and more frequently disputing coverage obligations, which may limit the extent to which excess insurance offsets future 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. On April 20, 2026, FedEx began filing refund claims through the CBP’s Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (“CAPE”) system.
Additionally, fourteen nationwide class action lawsuits seeking refunds of IEEPA tariffs from FedEx were filed in U.S. courts. Thirteen of those lawsuits, filed in various U.S. district courts, were consolidated into a single case pending in Tennessee federal court. The remaining lawsuit is pending in the Court of International Trade. The financial impact of these events is uncertain, as it is unclear to what extent and when all duties will be refunded by CBP 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.
