Separation remains on track for completion on June 1, 2026

FedEx Freight will host its inaugural Investor Day at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) in New York City today, ahead of its planned spinoff from FedEx Corporation (NYSE:FDX).

Members of the FedEx Freight executive leadership team, led by incoming president and chief executive officer John Smith, will outline the company's advantaged positioning as the largest North American less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier and unique value proposition, compelling financial model, and strategy to unlock future profitable growth.

"We are pleased to introduce FedEx Freight as an independent public company to the investment community as we move closer to our next chapter," said John Smith, incoming president and chief executive officer. "As the largest pure-play LTL carrier in North America, we are combining our market-leading network scale, published transit times, and reliability with a differentiated service model to meet the evolving needs of our customers. Built on a culture of safety above all with 40,000 team members across North America, FedEx Freight is moving forward from a position of strength and a renewed focus and flexibility to build on our competitive advantages, accelerate our growth trajectory, and unlock our full potential."

"FedEx Freight is well-positioned to drive profitable growth through greater focus, disciplined capital allocation, and targeted investments in its network and technology," said Brad Martin, current executive chairman of the FedEx Corp. board of directors and incoming chairman of the board of FedEx Freight. "As a long-established leader in an attractive LTL market, FedEx Freight is committed to executing its focused strategy and creating sustainable long-term value for stockholders."

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We do not undertake or assume any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

FedEx Freight reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP or reported). The company supplements the reporting of its financial information determined in accordance with GAAP with certain non-GAAP (or adjusted) financial measures, including the medium-term outlook for FedEx Freight's adjusted operating income growth, free cash flow generation, and net income to free cash flow conversion. We do not provide a reconciliation of FedEx Freight's medium-term adjusted operating income or free cash flow outlook to the most directly comparable GAAP measures because we are unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items without unreasonable effort. These items are inherently uncertain and depend on various factors, many of which are beyond our control, and as such, any associated estimate and its impact on FedEx Freight's GAAP financial measures could vary materially. We present the compound annual growth rate of FedEx Freight's medium-term adjusted operating income outlook compared to its fiscal 2026 adjusted operating income outlook, which excludes estimated costs related to the spin-off of FedEx Freight from FedEx. Estimated costs related to the spin-off are excluded from FedEx Freight's medium-term adjusted operating income outlook because they are unrelated to FedEx Freight's core operating performance and to assist investors with assessing trends in its underlying businesses.

While FedEx Freight views free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, free cash flow is not defined under GAAP. Therefore, FedEx Freight's medium-term free cash flow generation and net income to free cash flow conversion outlook should not be considered a substitute for income or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. It should not be inferred that FedEx Freight's free cash flow represents amounts available for discretionary expenditures.

FedEx Freight's non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement and should be read together with, and are not an alternative or substitute for, and should not be considered superior to, its reported financial results. Accordingly, users of FedEx Freight's financial statements should not place undue reliance on these non-GAAP financial measures. Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. As required by SEC rules, the table below presents a reconciliation of FedEx Freight's fiscal 2026 adjusted operating income outlook to the most directly comparable GAAP measure:

(in millions)		FY26 Outlook
Operating Income (GAAP Measure)		$600
Estimated spin-off costs		500
Operating Income (Non-GAAP Measure)		$1,100
