Strategy

FedEx was incorporated in Delaware on October 2, 1997 to serve as the parent holding company and provide strategic direction to the FedEx portfolio of companies. We intend to continue leveraging and extending the FedEx brand and providing our customers with convenient, seamless access to our entire portfolio of integrated services.

We believe that sales and marketing activities, as well as the information systems that support the extensive automation of our delivery services, are functions that are best coordinated across operating companies. Through the use of advanced information systems that connect the FedEx companies, we make it convenient for customers to use the full range of FedEx services. We believe that seamless information integration is critical to obtain business synergies from multiple operating units. For example, our Web site,website,fedex.com, provides a single point of contact for our customers to access FedEx Express, FedEx Ground and FedEx Freight shipping, pick-up,pickup, shipment tracking, customer service and invoicing information, as well as FedEx Office services. Similarly, by making one call to FedEx Expedited Freight Services, our customers can quickly and easily evaluate surface and air freight shipping options available from FedEx Express, FedEx Freight and FedEx Custom Critical in order to select the service best meeting their needs. Through this one point of contact, customers can select from a broad range of freight services, based on their pickup and deliverypickup-and-delivery requirements, time sensitivity and the characteristics of the products being shipped. Also, we recentlyhave integrated our LTL and parcel sales teams to enhance the effectiveness of our sales efforts and provide additional simplicity for our customers.

We manage our business as a portfolio — in the long-term best interest of the enterprise, not a particular operating company. As a result, we base decisions on capital investment, expansion of delivery, information technology and retail networks, and service additions or enhancements on achieving the highest overall long-term return on capital for our business as a whole. For each FedEx company, we focus on making appropriate investments in the technology and assets necessary to optimize our long-term earnings performance and cash flow. As an example ofWe are also focused on increasing returns to our commitment to managing collaboratively, allstockholders, as evidenced by the recent increase in our management incentive compensation programs across the enterprise are tied to the performance of FedEx as a whole.quarterly dividend.

While we have increased our emphasis on competing collectively and managing collaboratively, we continue to believe that operating independent networks, each focused on its own respective markets, results in optimal service quality, reliability and profitability from each business unit. Each FedEx company focuses exclusively on the market sectors in which it has the most expertise and can be independently enhanced and managed to provide outstanding service to our customers. Each company’s operations, cost structure and culture are designed to serve the unique customer demands of a particular market segment and as a result, we are able to adapt our networks in response to changing needs.

Our “compete collectively, operate independently, manage collaboratively” strategy also provides flexibility in sizing our various operating companies to align with varying macro-economic conditions and customer demand for the market segments in which they operate, allowing us to leverage and manage

change. Volatility and uncertainty have become the norms in the global transportation market, and we are able to use our flexibility to accommodate changing conditions in the global economy. For example, in May 2012,

response to sluggish economic growth, in 2013 we made a decision to retireretired from service 2410 aircraft and related engines. The decision to retire these aircraft will better align the U.S. domestic air network capacity of FedEx Express to match currentengines and anticipated shipment volumes. FedEx Express is also shorteningshortened the depreciable lives of an additional 5476 aircraft and related engines. This will accelerate the retirementIn 2014, we began replacing some of theseour retired aircraft to align with the delivery schedule for replacementmore efficient, lower-emission Boeing 767-300 Freighter aircraft (“B767F”).

In order2015, to continue the modernization ofrationalizing capacity and modernizing our aircraft fleet to more effectively serve customers, we have agreed to purchase a totalretired an additional 15 aircraft and 21 related engines and adjusted the retirement schedule of 46 new B767F23 aircraft with the first three arriving in fiscal 2014 and continued deliveries through 2019. The B767Fs were selected as the best choice to begin replacing our MD10s, some of which are more than 40 years old, and our Airbus A310-300s with aircraft of similar capacity and without the relatively high fuel and maintenance costs, as we continue to improve the efficiency and technology of our aircraft fleet. During 2012, we delayed the delivery of 11 Boeing 777 Freighter (“B777F”) aircraft to better align air network capacity to demand. We have also converted four B777F aircraft deliveries – two scheduled for delivery in fiscal 2016 and two scheduled for delivery in fiscal 2017 – to equivalent purchase value for the B767Fs referenced above.57 engines.

At the same time, we continue to expand network capacity at our growing and highly successful FedEx Ground segment. Strategic management of the FedEx Ground business resulted in higher yields and volumes boosted by e-commerce, FedEx SmartPost and residential delivery solutions in 2012.segment where we continue to boost package volumes.

The following four trends have driven world commerce and shaped the global marketplace, and we believe they will continue to do so over the long term:

These trends have produced an unprecedented expansion of customer access — to goods, services and information. Through our global transportation, information technology and retail networks, we help to make this access possible. We continue to position our companies to facilitate and capitalize on this access and move towardto achieve stronger long-term growth, productivity and profitability. To this end, we are investing in long-term strategic projects focused on expanding and modernizing our global networks to accommodate future volume growth and increase customer convenience, such as investments in B777FBoeing 777-300 Freighter (“B777F”) and B767F aircraft. We also continue to broaden and more effectively bundle our portfolio of services in response to the needs and desires of our customers. For example, sinceduring 2015, we:

Profit Improvement Initiatives

Reputation and Responsibility

By competing collectively under the FedEx brand, our operating companies benefit from one of the world’s most recognized brands. FedEx is one of the most trusted and respected companies in the world, and the FedEx brand name is a powerful sales and marketing tool. Among the many reputation awards we received during 2012,2015, FedEx ranked 6^th12th inFORTUNE magazine’s “World’s Most Admired Companies” list — the 11^th14th consecutive year we have been ranked in the top 20 on the list. Additionally, in a recent survey of U.S. consumers conducted byFedEx ranked 17th on the Reputation Institute andInstitute’s 2015 “Most Reputable Companies in the Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship, FedEx placed 7^th onU.S.” list, which measures the Corporate Social Responsibility Index (CSRI) 50 — a listcorporate reputations of the most socially responsiblelargest U.S. companies based on consumers’ trust, esteem, admiration and good feeling towards a company. Lastly, in the U.S.2015 FedEx was again listed onCorporate Responsibility Magazine’s “100 Best Corporate Citizens” list.

FedEx is well recognized as a leader, not only in the transportation industry and for technological innovation, but also in global citizenship. We understand that a sustainable global business is tied to our global citizenship, and we are committed to connecting the world responsibly and resourcefully. Our latest published update to our global citizenship report is available athttp://csr.fedex.com. These reports describe how we think about our responsibilities in the area of global citizenship and include important goals and metrics that demonstrate our commitment to fulfilling these responsibilities.

Our People

Along with a strong reputation among customers and the general public, FedEx is widely acknowledged as a great place to work. In 2012,For instance, for the past four years, since its inaugural release, FedEx Express was named as one of the top five global companies to work for by The Great Place to Work^® Institute in its inaugural ranking of the World’s Best Multinational Workplaces. In order to even be considered for this honor, a company must appear on at least five national Great Place to WorkBest Workplaces lists and have at least 5,000 employees worldwide. It is our people — our

greatest asset — that give us our strong reputation. In addition to superior physical and information networks, FedEx has an exemplary human network, with more than 300,000325,000 team members who are “absolutely, positively” focused on safety, the highest ethical and professional standards, and the needs of their customers and communities. Through our internal Purple Promise and Humanitarian Award programs, we recognize and reward employees who enhance customer service and promote human welfare. For additional information on our people-first philosophy and workplace initiatives, seehttp://csr.fedex.com.

Our Community

FedEx is committed to actively supporting the communities we serve worldwide through the strategic investment of our people, resources and network. We provide financial contributions, in-kind charitable shipping services and volunteer efforts by our team members to help a variety of non-profit organizations achieve their goals and make a measurable impact on the world. We have three core focus areas: disaster preparedness, relief and recovery (American Red Cross, Salvation Army and Direct Relief Worldwide)and The Salvation Army); child pedestrian and road safety (Safe Kids Worldwide)Worldwide, United Nations Road Safety Collaboration and EMBARQ); and environmental sustainability (EMBARQ, andthe National Fish &and Wildlife Foundation)Foundation and the Arbor Day Foundation,). We support minority access to higher education by funding scholarships, are a major sponsor of the National Civil Rights Museum and also support Teach for America, Junior Achievement and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.ORBIS International.

In the midst of the Ebola outbreak that ravaged West Africa, FedEx teamed with numerous humanitarian organizations and government agencies that were leading the U.S. government’s Ebola response efforts to move much needed medical materials to Monrovia, Liberia, an area heavily affected by the Ebola virus. Similarly, in the wake of the devastating earthquake in Nepal, FedEx

worked with disaster relief agencies and committed approximately $1 million in cash, transportation support and a chartered flight to deliver critical medical aid and supplies. For additional information on our community involvement and disaster relief efforts, seehttp://csr.fedex.com.

The Environment

In furtherance of our commitment to protecting the environment, we recently updated one ofhave made significant progress over the last several years in an effort to increase FedEx Express vehicle fuel efficiency 30% from a 2005 baseline by 2020 — we have already reached more than 29% cumulative improvement in fuel economy. Having nearly achieved our long-term goalsgoal, the company expects to surpass and then revisit the goal in 2016. We also continue with our goal to reduce aircraft emissions to reflect the significant progress we have made over the last several years. Our goal is to now reduce aircraft emissions by 30 percent30% by 2020 on an emissions per available-ton-mile basis.basis, a goal that we increased from 20% in 2012. We have also established a goal of obtaining 30% of our jet fuel from alternative fuels by the year 2030. These efforts help us continue withto reduce our goal to increaseenvironmental footprint as evidenced in 2014 when we saved 100 million gallons of jet fuel at FedEx Express vehicle fuel efficiency by 20 percent by 2020. and avoided more than 976,000 metric tons of carbon emissions — all while our volumes were up.

We will also continue to expand on-site renewable energy generation and continue the procurement of renewable energy forin our facilities.facilities where feasible. To meet our future operational needs, as discussed above, we are adding more fuel-efficient aircraft to our fleet. The use of newer and more fuel-efficient aircraft is reducing our greenhouse gas emissions and airport noise and increasing our jet fuel efficiency. OurWe have an impressive global alternative fuel fleet with over 1,045 alternative fuel vehicles, including hybrid, electric delivery fleet has logged more than 12 million milesand hydrogen fueled vehicles, among others. We operate eleven solar facilities around the world, which collectively avoided 3,145 metric tons of revenue service. Our solar power generation systems represent another step we are taking toward progressive environmental stewardship and resource sustainability. Several FedEx facilities, including ourCO₂e emissions in 2014. In addition, ten FedEx Express facilityfacilities in Las Vegas, Nevada, our FedEx Express World Headquarters in Memphis and our enterprise data center in Colorado Springs, Colorado,the U.S. have received certification byin Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED^®), the U.S. Green Building Council’s system for rating the environmental performance of buildings.buildings, and six more are being reviewed for certification. FedEx Express has made LEED certification the standard for newly built U.S. facilities. In addition, two FedEx Ground facilities achieved LEED certification in 2014 and FedEx Ground is pursuing certification at three more facilities.

We also continue to evaluate the environmental impacts of our packaging and copy and print services, and minimize waste generation through efforts that include recycling pollution prevention and the use of copy paper with recycled content, among other environmentally-responsible available choices. In 2014, 98% of paper purchased for use by FedEx Office was third-party-certified as responsibly sourced. We also use FedEx-branded cardboard packaging at FedEx Express and FedEx Ground, which is made from approximately 60% recycled content. One example of our environmentally-responsible activities is the Sustainable Purchasing Leadership Council, a U.S. nonprofit organization that supports and recognizes sustainable procurement of which we are a founding member. We continue to support the Council, contributing to discussions on how to improve sustainable purchasing in the areas of transportation and fuels, fiber- and timber-based products and more. For additional information on the ways we are minimizing our impact on the environment, seehttp://csr.fedex.com. In April 2012, we launched our FedEx Carbon-Neutral Envelope shipping program to all FedEx envelope shipping options, making FedEx Express the first global express transportation company to offer carbon-neutral envelope shipping at no extra charge to the customer. Through this program, FedEx Express will make an investment in global projects that displace or sequester greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere, neutralizing the impacts of the carbon emissions emitted during the shipment of all FedEx envelopes around the world.

Governance

FedEx has an independent Board of Directors committed to the highest quality corporate governance. During the past few years, we added a number of highly qualified, independent directors to the Board, including R. Brad Martin, the former CEO of Saks Incorporated, and Joshua Cooper Ramo, Vice Chairman of Kissinger Associates, Inc. The Board has taken significant steps to enhance its accountability to stockholders in recent years. For example, in 2012,September 2011, stockholders approved our proposal to amend FedEx’s certificate of incorporation in order to allow holders of 20 percent20% or more of FedEx’s common stock the right to call special meetings of stockholders. Additionally, in June 2012, the Board recently adopted a lead independent director corporate governance structure.

Our Board of Directors periodically reviews all aspects of our governance policies and practices, including our Corporate Governance Guidelines and our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, in light of best practices and makes whatever changes are necessary to further our longstanding commitment to the highest standards of corporate governance. The Guidelines and the Code, which appliesapply to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer and senior financial officers, are available in the Corporate Governancecorporate governance section of the Investor Relations page of our Web sitewebsite athttp://investors.fedex.com.

We are preparing for removal of those drop boxes in accordance with the terms of the agreement.runs through September 2020. FedEx Express also provides transportation and delivery for the USPS’s international delivery service called Global Express Guaranteed (GXG)(“GXG”) under a separate agreement. For more information about our relationship with the USPS, see Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Risk Factors”).

Pricing

FedEx Express periodically publishes list prices in its Service Guides for the majority of its services. In general, U.S. shipping rates are based on the service selected, destination zone, weight, size, any ancillary service charge and whether the customer charged the shipment to a FedEx account. International rates are based on the type of service provided and vary with size, weight, destination and, whenever applicable, whether the customer charged the shipment to a FedEx account.As announced in September 2014, FedEx Express offers its customers discounts generally based on actual or potentialincreased shipping rates by an average daily revenue produced.of 4.9% for U.S. domestic, U.S. export and U.S. import services, effective January 5, 2015.

FedEx Express has an indexed fuel surcharge for U.S. domestic and U.S. outbound shipments and for shipments originating internationally, where legally and contractually possible. The surcharge percentage is subject to monthly adjustment based on a rounded average of a certain spot price for jet fuel. For example, the fuel surcharge for June 2012May 2015 was based on the average spot price for jet fuel published for April 2012.March 2015. Changes to the FedEx Express fuel surcharge, when calculated according to the average spot price for jet fuel and FedEx Express trigger points, are applied effective from the first Monday of the month. These trigger points may change from time to time, but information on the fuel surcharge for each month is available atfedex.com approximately two weeks before the surcharge is applicable. We routinely review our fuel surcharges and our fuel surcharge methodology. On February 2, 2015, we updated the tables used to determine our fuel surcharges at FedEx Express. The weighted average U.S. domestic and U.S. outbound fuel surcharge as a percentage of the base rates for the past three years was: 20122015 — 14%6%; 20112014 — 10%9%; and 20102013 — 6%12%. These percentages includeThe 2013 percentage reflects certain fuel surcharge reductions that arewere associated with our annual2013 base rate increases.increase.

Operations

FedEx Express’s primary sorting facility, located in Memphis, serves as the center of the company’s multiple hub-and-spoke system. A second national hub facility is located in Indianapolis. In addition to these national hubs, FedEx Express operates regional hubs in Newark, Oakland, Fort Worth and Greensboro and major metropolitan sorting facilities in Los Angeles and Chicago.

Facilities in Anchorage, Paris, Guangzhou, Cologne/Bonn and Cologne/BonnOsaka serve as sorting facilities for express package and freight traffic moving to and from Asia, Europe and North America.

Fuel Supplies and Costs

During 2012,2015, FedEx Express purchased jet fuel from various suppliers under contracts that vary in length and which provide for estimated amounts of fuel to be delivered. The fuel represented by these contracts is purchased at market prices. Because of our indexed fuel surcharge, we do not have any jet fuel hedging contracts. See “FedEx Express — Pricing.”

The following table sets forth FedEx Express’s costs for jet fuel and its percentage of consolidated revenues for the last five fiscal years:

Most of FedEx Express’s vehicle fuel needs are satisfied by retail purchases with various discounts.

Competition

As described in Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Risk Factors”), the express package and freight markets are both highly competitive and sensitive to price and service, especially in periods of little or no macro-economic growth. The ability to compete effectively depends upon price, frequency, capacity and speed of scheduled service, ability to track packages, extent of geographic coverage, reliability and innovative service offerings.

Competitors within the United StatesU.S. include other package delivery concerns, principally United Parcel Service, Inc. (“UPS”), passenger airlines offering express package services, regional express delivery concerns, air freight forwarders and the USPS. FedEx Express’s principal international competitors are DHL, UPS, TNT otherExpress, foreign postal authorities, freight forwarders, passenger airlines and all-cargo airlines. Many of FedEx Express’s international competitors are government-owned, -controlled or -subsidized carriers, which may have greater resources, lower costs, less profit sensitivity and more favorable operating conditions than FedEx Express.

Association, International (“ALPA”), and are employed under a collective bargaining agreement. This agreement becomesbecame amendable in March 2013.2013, and the parties are currently in negotiations. In October 2014, FedEx Express formally requested assistance from the National Mediation Board (“NMB”) to mediate the negotiations and the NMB has been actively mediating the talks since that time. The NMB is the U.S. governmental agency that oversees labor agreements for entities covered by the Railway Labor Act of 1926, as amended (the “RLA”). The conduct of mediated negotiations has no impact on our operations.

Attempts by other labor organizations to organize certain other groups of FedEx Express employees occur from time to time. Although these organizing attempts have not resulted in any certification of a U.S. domestic collective bargaining representative of FedEx Express employees (other than ALPA), we cannot predict the outcome of these labor activities or their effect, if any, on FedEx Express or its employees. Certain of FedEx Express’s non-U.S. employees are unionized. FedEx Express believes its employee relations are excellent.

FedEx Ground Segment

FedEx Ground

Overview

By leveraging the FedEx brand, maintaining a low cost structure and efficiently using information technology and advanced automation systems, FedEx Ground continues to enhance its competitive position as a leading provider of business and residential money-back guaranteed ground package delivery services. FedEx Ground serves customers in the North American small-package market, focusing on business and residential delivery of packages weighing up to 150 pounds. Ground service is provided to 100%

of the continental United StatesU.S. population and overnight service of up to 400 miles to nearly 100% of the continental United StatesU.S. population. Service is also provided to nearly 100% of the Canadian population. In addition, FedEx Ground offers service to Alaska and Hawaii through a ground and air network operation coordinated with other transportation providers.

FedEx Ground continues to improve the speed, reach and service capabilities of its network, by reducing transit time for many of its lanes and introducing or expanding overnight ground service in many metropolitan areas. For example, during the most recent two-year period, FedEx Ground has reduced the transit times of 7% of its lanes. FedEx Ground’s ongoing network expansion program is substantially increasing the company’s daily pickup capacity through the addition of new hubs featuring the latest automated sorting technology, the expansion of existing hubs and the expansion or relocation of other existing facilities.

The company offers our FedEx Home Delivery service, which reaches nearly 100% of U.S. residences. FedEx Home Delivery is dedicated to meeting the delivery needs of residential customers and provides routine Saturday and evening delivery and premium options such as day-specific, appointment and signature delivery. FedEx Home Delivery brings unmatched services to residential shippers and their customers and is the first residential ground package delivery service to have offered a money-back guarantee.

Additionally, FedEx Delivery Manager allows our U.S. residential customers to customize home deliveries to fit their schedule by providing a range of options to schedule dates, locations and times of delivery. By signing up atfedex.com, customers can receive notification of FedEx Ground packages en route to their homes and can choose various delivery options.

Pricing

FedEx Ground periodically publishes list prices for the majority of its services in its Service Guide. In general, U.S. shipping rates are based on the service selected, destination zone, weight, size, any ancillary service charge and whether the customer charged the shipment to a FedEx account. As previously announced, on January 5, 2015, FedEx Ground and FedEx Home Delivery average list prices increased 4.9%.

In addition, as announced in May 2014, FedEx Ground began applying dimensional weight pricing to all shipments effective January 5, 2015. Previously, FedEx Ground applied dimensional weight pricing only to packages measuring three cubic feet or greater. Dimensional weight pricing is a common industry practice that sets the transportation price based on package volume – the amount of space a package occupies in relation to its actual weight.

- 14 -

FedEx Ground has an indexed fuel surcharge, which is subject to a monthly adjustment. The surcharge percentage is based on a rounded average of the national U.S. on-highway average price for a gallon of diesel fuel as published monthly by the U.S. Department of Energy. For example, the fuel surcharge for June 2012May 2015 was based on the average diesel fuel price published for April 2012.March 2015. Changes to the FedEx Ground fuel surcharge, when calculated according to the rounded index average and FedEx Ground trigger points, are applied effective from the first Monday of the month. These trigger points may change from time to time, but information on the fuel surcharge for each month is available atfedex.com approximately two weeks before the surcharge is applicable. On February 2, 2015, we updated the tables used to determine the fuel surcharges at FedEx Ground. See the “Fuel” section of Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition”) for a description and discussion of the net impact of fuel on our operating results.

Operations

FedEx Ground operates a multiple hub-and-spoke sorting and distribution system consisting of 525547 facilities, including 33 hubs, in the U.S. and Canada. FedEx Ground conducts its operations primarily with 30,770approximately 47,000 owner-operated vehicles and approximately 35,00048,000 company-owned trailers. To provide FedEx Home Delivery service, FedEx Ground leverages its existing pickup operation and hub and linehaul network. FedEx Home Delivery’s operations are often co-located with existing FedEx Ground facilities to achieve further cost efficiencies.

Advanced automated sorting technology is used to streamline the handling of millions of packages daily. Using overhead laser and six-sided camera-based bar code scan technology, hub conveyors electronically guide packages to their appropriate destination chute, where they are loaded for transport to their respective destination terminals for local delivery. Software systems and Internet-based applications are also deployed to offer customers new ways to connect internal package data with external delivery information. FedEx Ground provides shipment tracing and proof-of-delivery signature functionality through the FedEx Web site,website,fedex.com. For additional information regarding FedEx Ground e-shipping tools and solutions, see “FedEx Services — Customer-Driven Technology.”

As of May 31, 2012,2015, FedEx Ground had approximately 50,50062,000 employees. In addition, FedEx Ground relies on owner-operatorsindependent small businesses to conduct its linehaul and pickup-and-delivery operations, as the use of independent contractors is well suited to the needs of the ground delivery business and its customers. David F. RebholzHenry J. Maier is the President and Chief Executive Officer of FedEx Ground. FedEx Ground is headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and its primary competitors are UPS, the USPS and the USPS.regional delivery carriers.

Evolution of Independent Contractor Model

Although FedEx Ground is involved in numerous lawsuits and other proceedings (such as state tax audits or other administrative challenges) where the classification of its independent contractors is at issue, a number of recent judicial decisions support the company’s classification, and the company believes its relationship with its contractors is generally excellent. For a description of these proceedings, see Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Risk Factors”) and Note 1718 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

FedEx Ground has made changes to its relationships with contractorsthe small businesses it contracts with that, among other things, provide incentives for improved service and enhanced regulatory and other compliance by the contractors. For example, FedEx Ground has implemented or is implementing its Independent Service Provider (“ISP”) model in a number of states. The ISP model requires pickup-and-delivery contractors based in those states to, among other things: (i) assume responsibility for the pickup-and-delivery operations of an entire

- 15 -

geographic service area that includes multiple routes, and (ii) negotiate independent agreements with FedEx Ground, rather than agree to a standard contract. To date, FedEx Ground has transitioned to the ISP model in 17 states and is in the process of transitioning to the model in four additional states. Based upon the successDepending on a number of this model,considerations, FedEx Ground may transition to it in other states as well.

In addition, because of state-specific legal and regulatory issues, FedEx Ground only contracts with contractorsbusinesses that (i) are organized as corporations registered and in good standing under applicable state law, and (ii) ensure that their personnel who provide services under an operating agreement with FedEx Ground are treated as their employees. FedEx Ground also has an ongoing nationwide program to incentivize contractorsowners who choose to grow their businesses by adding routes. During May 2012,2015, approximately 85%93% of FedEx Ground’s package volume was delivered by business owners operating multiple route owner-operators or independent service providers.routes.

Through its network of 2527 distribution hubs and approximately 6,6009,000 employees, FedEx SmartPost provides delivery to all residential addresses in the U.S., including PO Boxes and military destinations. For

On March 16, 2015, we announced that our FedEx SmartPost business will be merged into FedEx Ground effective September 1, 2015. The FedEx SmartPost service remains an important component of our service offerings and this internal structural change will enhance our ability to leverage the strengths of both the FedEx Ground and FedEx SmartPost networks to maximize operational efficiencies and will provide greater flexibility to meeting the needs of our e-commerce customers. There are no planned personnel reductions associated with this merger.

Regulation

Air. Under the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended, both the U.S. Department of Transportation (“DOT”DOT��) and the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) exercise regulatory authority over FedEx Express.

The FAA’s regulatory authority relates primarily to operational aspects of air transportation, including aircraft standards and maintenance, as well as personnel and ground facilities, which may from time to time affect the ability of FedEx Express to operate its aircraft in the most efficient manner. FedEx Express holds an air carrier certificate granted by the FAA pursuant to Part 119 of the federal aviation regulations. This certificate is of unlimited duration and remains in effect so long as FedEx Express maintains its standards of safety and meets the operational requirements of the regulations.

In September 2010, the FAA proposed rules that would significantly reduce the maximum number of hours on duty and increase the minimum amount of rest time for our pilots, and thus require us to hire additional pilots and modify certain of our aircraft. When the FAA issued final regulations in December 2011, all-cargo carriers, including FedEx Express, were exempt from these new pilot fatigue requirements, and instead required to continue complying with previously enacted flight and duty time rules. In MayDecember 2012, however, the FAA indicated that it would reconsiderreaffirmed the exclusion of cargo pilotsus from thesethe new pilot fatigue requirements. Thus, itrule. It is reasonably possible, however, that these rulesfuture security or other future flight safety requirements could impose material costs on us.

The DOT’s authority relates primarily to economic aspects of air transportation. The DOT’s jurisdiction extends to aviation route authority and to other regulatory matters, including the transfer of route authority between carriers. FedEx Express holds various certificates issued by the DOT, authorizing FedEx Express to engage in U.S. and international air transportation of property and mail on a worldwide basis.

Under the Aviation and Transportation Security Act of 2001, as amended, the Transportation Security Administration (“TSA”), an agency within the Department of Homeland Security, has responsibility for aviation security. The TSA continues to requirerequires FedEx Express to comply with a Full All-Cargo Aircraft Operator Standard Security Plan, which contains evolving and strict security requirements. These requirements are not static, but change periodically as the result of regulatory and legislative requirements, imposing additional security costs and creating a level of uncertainty for our operations. It is reasonably possible that these rules or other future security requirements could impose material costs on us.

FedEx Express participates in the Civil Reserve Air Fleet (“CRAF”) program. Under this program, the U.S. Department of Defense may requisition for military use certain of FedEx Express’s wide-bodied aircraft in the event of a declared need, including a national emergency. FedEx Express is compensated for the operation of any aircraft requisitioned under the CRAF program at standard contract rates established each year in the normal course of awarding contracts. Through its participation in the CRAF program, FedEx Express is entitled to bid on peacetime military cargo charter business. FedEx Express, together with a consortium of other carriers, currently contracts with the U.S. Governmentgovernment for such charter flights.

Ground. The ground transportation performed by FedEx Express is integral to its air transportation services. The enactment of the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act of 1994 abrogated the authority of states to regulate the rates, routes or services of intermodal all-cargo air carriers and most motor carriers. States may now only exercise jurisdiction over safety and insurance. FedEx Express is registered in those states that require registration.

- 21 -

The operations of FedEx Ground, FedEx Freight and FedEx Custom Critical in interstate commerce are currently regulated by the DOT and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, which retain limited oversight authority over motor carriers. Federal legislation preempts regulation by the states of rates and service in intrastate freight transportation.

Like other interstate motor carriers, our operations, including those at FedEx Express, are subject to certain DOT safety requirements governing interstate operations. In addition, vehicle weight and dimensions remain subject to both federal and state regulations.

International. FedEx Express’s international authority permits it to carry cargo and mail from points in its U.S. route system to numerous points throughout the world. The DOT regulates international routes and practices and is authorized to investigate and take action against discriminatory treatment of United StatesU.S. air carriers abroad. The right of a United StatesU.S. carrier to serve foreign points is subject to the DOT’s approval and generally requires a bilateral agreement between the United StatesU.S. and the foreign government. In addition, we must obtain the permission of foreign governments to provide specific flights and services. The carrier must then be granted the permission of such foreign government to provide specific flights and services. The regulatory environment for global aviation rights may from time to time impair the ability of FedEx Express to operate its air network in the most efficient manner. Additionally, global air cargo carriers, such as FedEx Express, are subject to current and potential additional aviation security regulation by foreign governments.

Our operations outside of the United States,U.S., such as FedEx Express’s growing international domestic operations, are also subject to current and potential regulations, including certain postal regulations and licensing requirements, that restrict, make difficult and sometimes prohibit, the ability of foreign-owned companies such as FedEx Express to compete effectively in parts of the international domestic transportation and logistics market.

Communication. Because of the extensive use of radio and other communication facilities in its aircraft and ground transportation operations, FedEx Express is subject to the Federal Communications Commission Act of 1934, as amended. Additionally, the Federal Communications Commission regulates and licenses FedEx Express’s activities pertaining to satellite communications.

Environmental. Pursuant to the Federal Aviation Act, the FAA, with the assistance of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), is authorized to establish standards governing aircraft noise. FedEx Express’s aircraft fleet is in compliance with current noise standards of the federal aviation regulations. In addition to federal regulation of aircraft noise, certain airport operators have local noise regulations, which limit aircraft operations by type of aircraft and time of day. These regulations have had a restrictive effect on FedEx Express’s aircraft operations in some of the localities where they apply but do not have a material effect on any of FedEx Express’s significant markets. Congress’s passage of the Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990 established a National Noise Policy, which enabled FedEx Express to plan for noise reduction and better respond to local noise constraints. FedEx Express’s international operations are also subject to noise regulations in certain of the countries in which it operates.

Concern over climate change, including the impact of global warming, has led to significant U.S. and international legislative and regulatory efforts to limit greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions, including our aircraft and diesel engine emissions. For example, duringin 2015, the EPA issued a proposed finding on GHG emissions from aircraft and its relationships to air pollution. The final finding is a regulatory prerequisite to the EPA’s adoption of a new certification standard for aircraft emissions. Additionally, in 2009, the European Commission approved the extension of the European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (“ETS”) for GHG emissions, to the airline industry. Under this decision, all FedEx Express flights to and from any airport in any member state ofthat are wholly within the European Union are now covered by the ETS requirements, and each year we are required to submit emission allowances in an amount equal to the carbon dioxide emissions from such flights. For a description of such efforts and their potential effect on our cost structure and operating results, see Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Risk Factors”).

We are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations relating to, among other things, the shipment of dangerous goods, contingency planning for spills of petroleum products, the disposal of waste oil and the disposal of toners and other products used in FedEx Office’s copy machines. Additionally, we are subject to numerous regulations dealing with underground fuel storage tanks, hazardous waste handling, vehicle and equipment emissions and noise and the discharge of effluents from our properties and equipment. We have environmental management programs to ensure compliance with these regulations.

Customs. Our activities, including customs brokerage and freight forwarding, are subject to regulation by the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection and the TSA within the Department of Homeland Security (customs brokerage and security issues), the U.S. Federal Maritime Commission (ocean freight forwarding) and the DOT (air freight forwarding). Our offshore operations are subject to similar regulation by the regulatory authorities of foreign jurisdictions.

Labor. All U.S. employees at FedEx Express are covered by the Railway Labor Act of 1926, as amended (the “RLA”),RLA, while labor relations within the United StatesU.S. at our other companies are governed by the National Labor Relations Act of 1935, as amended (the “NLRA”). Under the RLA, groups that wish to unionize must do so across nationwide classes of employees. The RLA also requires mandatory government-led mediation of contract disputes supervised by the National Mediation BoardNMB before a union can strike or an

employer can replace employees or impose contract terms. This part of the RLA helps minimize the risk of strikes that would shut down large portions of the economy. Under the NLRA, employees can unionize in small localized groups, and government-led mediation is not a required step in the negotiation process.

The RLA was originally passed to govern railroad and express carrier labor negotiations. As transportation systems evolved, the law expanded to cover airlines, which are the dominant national transportation systems of today. As an air express carrier with an integrated air/ground network, FedEx Express and its employees have been covered by the RLA since the founding of the company in 1971. The purpose of the RLA is to offer employees a process by which to unionize (if they choose) and engage in collective bargaining while also protecting global commerce from damaging work stoppages and delays. Specifically, the RLA ensures that an entire transportation system, such as at FedEx Express, cannot be shut down by the actions of a local segment of the network.

The U.S. Congress has, in the past, considered adopting changes in labor laws that would make it easier for unions to organize units of our employees. For example, there is always a possibility that Congress could remove most FedEx Express employees from the jurisdiction of the RLA, thereby exposing the FedEx Express network to sporadic labor disputes and the risk that small groups of employees could disrupt the entire air/ground network. In addition, federal and state governmental agencies have and may continue to take actions that could make it easier for our employees to organize under the RLA or NLRA. For a description of these potential labor law changes, see Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Risk Factors”).

In addition, FedEx Express leases smaller aircraft to operators, and these operators use the aircraft to move FedEx packages to and from airports served by FedEx Express’s larger jet aircraft. The lease agreements generally call for the lessee to provide the flight crews, maintenance, fuel and other supplies required to operate the aircraft, and FedEx Express reimburses the lessee for these items. The lease agreements are for terms not exceeding one year and are generally cancelable upon 30 days’ notice.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND

FINANCIAL CONDITION

OVERVIEW OF FINANCIAL SECTION

The financial section of the FedEx Corporation (“FedEx”) Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”) consists of the following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition (“MD&A”), the Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and Other Financial Information, all of which include information about our significant accounting policies, practices and the transactions that underlie our financial results. The following MD&A describes the principal factors affecting the results of operations, liquidity, capital resources, contractual cash obligations and the critical accounting estimates of FedEx. The discussion in the financial section should be read in conjunction with the other sections of this Annual Report, particularly “Item 1: Business” and our detailed discussion of risk factors included in this MD&A.

ORGANIZATION OF INFORMATION

Our MD&A is composed of three major sections: Results of Operations, Financial Condition and Critical Accounting Estimates. These sections include the following information:

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

We provide a broad portfolio of transportation, e-commerce and business services through companies competing collectively, operating independently and managed collaboratively, under the respected FedEx brand. Our primary operating companies are Federal Express Corporation (“FedEx Express”), the world’s largest express transportation company; FedEx Ground Package System, Inc. (“FedEx Ground”), a leading North American provider of small-package ground delivery services; and FedEx Freight, Inc. (“FedEx Freight”), a leading North AmericanU.S. provider of less-than-truckload (“LTL”) freight services. These companies represent our major service lines and, along with FedEx Corporate Services, Inc. (“FedEx Services”), form the core of our reportable segments.

Our FedEx Services segment provides sales, marketing, information technology, communications and certain back-office support to our transportation segments. In addition, the FedEx Services segment provides customers with retail access to FedEx Express and FedEx Ground shipping services through FedEx Office and Print Services, Inc. (“FedEx Office”), and provides customer service, technical support and billing and collection services through FedEx TechConnect, Inc. (“FedEx TechConnect”). See “Reportable Segments” for further discussion and refer to “Item 1: Business” for a more detailed description of each of our operating companies.

- 39 -

The key indicators necessary to understand our operating results include:

The majority of our operating expenses are directly impacted by revenue and volume levels. Accordingly, we expect these operating expenses to fluctuate on a year-over-year basis consistent with the changechanges in revenues and volumes. Therefore, the discussion of operating expense captions focuses on the key drivers and trends impacting expenses other than changes in revenues and volume. The line item “Other operating expenses” includes costs predominantly associated with outside service contracts (such as security and facility services), insurance, professional fees, uniforms and advertising.

Except as otherwise specified, references to years indicate our fiscal year ended May 31, 20122015 or ended May 31 of the year referenced and comparisons are to the prior year. References to our transportation segments include, collectively, our FedEx Express, FedEx Ground and FedEx Freight segments.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Retirement Plans Mark-to-Market Adjustment

On June 12, 2015, we announced a change in our accounting method for recognizing actuarial gains and losses for defined benefit pension and postretirement healthcare benefits. This method of accounting is referred to as “mark-to-market” or MTM accounting. Historically, we have recognized actuarial gains and losses, subject to a corridor, by amortizing them into operating results over the average future service period of active employees in these plans. We have elected to immediately recognize actuarial gains and losses in our consolidated operating results in the year in which the gains and losses occur. This change will provide greater transparency into operating results by more quickly recognizing the effects of economic and interest rate conditions on plan obligations, investments and assumptions. The actuarial gains and losses are measured annually as of May 31 and, accordingly, are recorded during the fourth quarter. In addition, for purposes of calculating the expected return on plan assets, we will no longer use an averaging technique permitted under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for the market-related value of plan assets but instead will use actual fair value of plan assets. We have applied these changes retrospectively.

Our operating segment results follow internal management reporting, which is used for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Historically, total net periodic benefit cost was allocated to each segment. We will continue to record service cost, interest cost and expected return on plan assets at the business segments. Annual recognition of actuarial gains and losses (the “MTM adjustment”) will be reflected in our segment results only at the corporate level.

Additionally, although the actual asset returns of our funded plans are recognized in each fiscal year through the MTM adjustment, we continue to recognize an expected return on assets (“EROA”) in the determination of net pension cost. At the segment level, we have set our EROA at 6.5% for all periods presented, with an offsetting credit at the corporate level to reflect the consolidated EROA in each period. We have set our consolidated EROA assumption at 6.5% for 2016.

The following table comparestables compare summary operating results and changes in revenues and operating income (dollars in millions, except per share amounts) for the years ended May 31:31. All amounts have been recast to conform to the current year presentation reflecting the pension accounting changes and allocation of corporate headquarters costs further discussed in this MD&A and Note 1, Note 13 and Note 14 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements:
