Full Year Results
FedEx Corp. reported the following consolidated results for the full year:
| | | | | | |
| | Fiscal 2014 | | Fiscal 2013 |
| | | Adjusted (non-GAAP) | | As Reported (GAAP) |
Revenue | | $45.6 billion | | $44.3 billion | | $44.3 billion |
Operating Income | | $3.45 billion | | $3.21 billion | | $2.55 billion |
Operating Margin | | 7.6% | | 7.3% | | 5.8% |
Net Income | | $2.10 billion | | $1.98 billion | | $1.56 billion |
Diluted EPS | | $6.75 | | $6.23 | | $4.91 |
Capital spending for fiscal 2014 was $3.5 billion.
Outlook
For fiscal 2015, FedEx projects earnings to be $8.50 to $9.00 per diluted share. The outlook assumes no net year-over-year fuel impact and continued moderate economic growth. Capital spending for fiscal 2015 is expected to increase to approximately $4.2 billion, which includes planned aircraft deliveries to support the company’s fleet modernization program and continued expansion of the FedEx Ground network.
“Fiscal 2014 was a good year for FedEx and we expect fiscal 2015 to be even better,” said Alan B. Graf, Jr., FedEx Corp. executive vice president and chief financial officer. “With continued modest economic improvement, our results in fiscal 2015 should benefit from base performance improvement and ongoing execution of our profit improvement initiatives at FedEx Express, continued profitable growth at FedEx Ground and FedEx Freight, and our share repurchase program. We remain committed to improving earnings, cash flows, returns on invested capital and returns to shareowners, with the most recent example of the latter being our announced 33% increase in the quarterly dividend.”

FedEx Express Segment
For the fourth quarter, the FedEx Express segment reported:
| • | | Revenue of $7.00 billion, up slightly from last year’s $6.98 billion |
| • | | Operating income of $475 million, up 3% from an adjusted $460 million a year ago. Including charges, last year’s operating income was $0. |
| • | | Operating margin of 6.8%, up from an adjusted 6.6% the previous year. Including charges, last year’s operating margin was 0.0%. |
Revenue increased due to 2% higher package volume and higher base package yields, partially offset by the effects of one fewer operating day, lower fuel surcharges and lower express freight revenues. U.S. domestic average daily volume increased 3%, while U.S. domestic revenue per package was flat as lower fuel surcharges offset higher weight per package and favorable service mix. International export revenue per package grew 2%, as improved rates, higher weight per package and favorable service mix more than offset lower fuel surcharges. International export volume grew 2%, as FedEx International Economy grew 5% while FedEx International Priority® was flat despite reduced lower-yielding distribution services volume.
Operating results increased as higher base package yields and volume, along with lower pension expense, more than offset the significant negative net impact of fuel, lower freight revenue and one fewer operating day.
On May 1, 2014, Express completed the acquisition of Supaswift businesses in South Africa and six other countries: Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Swaziland and Zambia. The acquisition of Supaswift will increase FedEx’s capabilities in one of the world’s most rapidly developing regions and offer tremendous opportunities for both local and international customers to access new markets.

FedEx Ground Segment
For the fourth quarter, the FedEx Ground segment reported:
| • | | Revenue of $3.01 billion, up 8% from last year’s $2.78 billion |
| • | | Operating income of $586 million, up 5% from an adjusted $557 million a year ago. Including charges, last year’s operating income was $464 million. |
| • | | Operating margin of 19.5%, down from an adjusted 20.1% the previous year. Including charges, last year’s operating margin was 16.7%. |
FedEx Ground average daily volume grew 8% in the fourth quarter, primarily driven by growth in e-commerce. Revenue per package increased 2% due to rate increases and higher residential surcharges, partially offset by lower fuel surcharges. FedEx SmartPost average daily volume decreased 8% while net revenue per package was up 8% due to rate increases and improved customer mix, partially offset by higher postage costs.
Operating results benefited from higher Ground volume and revenue per package, partially offset by higher network expansion costs and one fewer operating day.
FedEx Freight Segment
For the fourth quarter, the FedEx Freight segment reported:
| • | | Revenue of $1.55 billion, up 12% from last year’s $1.39 billion |
| • | | Operating income of $122 million, up 51% from an adjusted $81 million a year ago. Including charges, last year’s operating income was $38 million. |
| • | | Operating margin of 7.9%, up from an adjusted 5.8% the previous year. Including charges, last year’s operating margin was 2.7%. |
Less-than-truckload (LTL) average daily shipments grew 12%, including a 14% increase in demand for Priority service. Weight per shipment grew 2%, driving a 1% increase in revenue per shipment.
Operating results improved due to the positive impacts of higher average daily shipments, higher weight per shipment and improved operational efficiencies, partially offset by one fewer operating day.
Effective June 2, 2014, FedEx Freight increased its published fuel surcharge indices by three percentage points.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
TO GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
The company believes that meaningful analysis of our financial performance requires an understanding of the factors underlying that performance and our judgments about the likelihood that particular factors will repeat. Excluding charges associated with the business realignment program and a noncash aircraft impairment charge at FedEx Express from prior period results will allow for more accurate comparisons of the company’s operating performance. Where applicable, the impacts of these events are shown net of incentive compensation impacts. As required by SEC rules, the tables below present a reconciliation of our presented non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
