Exhibit 99.1

FedEx Corp. Reports Higher First Quarter Earnings

MEMPHIS, Tenn., September 20, 2016 ... FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) today reported earnings of $2.65 per diluted share ($2.90 per diluted share on an adjusted basis) for the first quarter ended August 31, compared to earnings of $2.42 per diluted share a year ago.

During the quarter, the company incurred TNT Express integration and Outlook restructuring program costs of $68 million ($45 million, net of tax, or $0.17 per diluted share). In addition, the company incurred $28 million ($21 million, net of tax, or $0.08 per diluted share) of intangible asset amortization expense for TNT Express.

“The integration of TNT Express is proceeding smoothly, and the level of team members’ engagement is outstanding,” said Frederick W. Smith, FedEx Corp. chairman, president and chief executive officer. “Managing our operating companies as a portfolio of customer solutions helped FedEx achieve strong financial and operating results in the quarter, especially given the global economy’s continued low growth.”

First Quarter Results

FedEx Corp. reported the following consolidated results for the first quarter (adjusted measures exclude TNT Express integration and Outlook restructuring program costs and intangible asset amortization expense):

 

		Fiscal 2017								Fiscal 2016
		As Reported (GAAP)				Adjusted (non-GAAP)				As Reported (GAAP)
Revenue		$	14.7 billion			$	14.7 billion			$	12.3 billion
Operating income		$	1.26 billion			$	1.36 billion			$	1.14 billion
Operating margin			8.6%				9.3%				9.3%
Net income		$	715 million			$	780 million			$	692 million
Diluted EPS			$2.65				$2.90				$2.42

Operating results rose compared to last year due to higher base yields at FedEx Express and FedEx Ground, volume growth at FedEx Ground and ongoing cost efficiencies at FedEx Express. These factors were partially offset by integration and restructuring program costs and intangible asset amortization at TNT Express, and higher network expansion costs at FedEx Ground.

During the quarter, the company acquired 1.4 million shares of FedEx common stock.

Earnings Guidance

FedEx is unable to forecast the fiscal 2017 year-end mark-to-market pension accounting adjustments. As a result, the company is unable to provide unadjusted earnings guidance. Adjusted earnings for fiscal 2017 are projected to be $10.85 to $11.35 per diluted share before year-end mark-to-market pension accounting adjustments. This forecast includes TNT Express results and assumes moderate economic growth. Excluding TNT Express-related integration and Outlook restructuring program costs and TNT Express intangible asset amortization, FedEx forecasts fiscal 2017 earnings of $11.85 to $12.35 per diluted share. The capital spending forecast for the fiscal year, which includes TNT Express, remains $5.6 billion.

“Our team is extremely excited about the TNT Express integration, and we are discovering many possibilities for achieving high returns,” said Alan B. Graf, FedEx Corp. executive vice president and chief financial officer. “As we integrate these networks and take advantage of the unmatched road capabilities of TNT Express, I am confident there is going to be a tremendous opportunity to increase the earnings of FedEx Corporation.”

2017 Rate Increases

As previously announced, effective January 2, 2017, FedEx Express will increase shipping rates by an average of 3.9%, while FedEx Ground, FedEx Home Delivery and FedEx Freight will increase shipping rates by an average of 4.9%. The FedEx Express and FedEx Ground U.S. domestic dimensional weight divisor will also change from 166 to 139. Effective February 6, 2017, FedEx Express and FedEx Ground fuel surcharges will be adjusted on a weekly basis compared to the current monthly adjustment. Details of all changes to rates and surcharges are available at fedex.com/rates2017.

FedEx Express Segment

For the first quarter, the FedEx Express segment reported (adjusted measures exclude TNT Express integration costs):

 

		Fiscal 2017								Fiscal 2016
		As Reported (GAAP)				Adjusted (non-GAAP)				As Reported (GAAP)
Revenue		$	6.66 billion			$	6.66 billion			$	6.59 billion
Operating income		$	624 million			$	646 million			$	545 million
Operating income YOY change %			14%				19%
Operating margin			9.4%				9.7%				8.3%

FedEx Express revenue increased slightly as improved base yields, higher package volume and increased freight pounds more than offset lower fuel surcharges and unfavorable currency exchange rates. U.S. domestic package volume increased 1% due to growth in overnight box and envelope volumes. FedEx International Economy volume grew 1%, while FedEx International Priority volume decreased 1%. Average daily freight pounds increased 8% due to higher U.S. Postal Service volume.

FedEx Express operating results improved due to higher base yields and ongoing cost efficiencies. As-reported results include $22 million of expenses related to the integration of TNT Express. Fuel and currency exchange rates had a minimal impact on the quarter’s results.

TNT Express Segment

For the first quarter, the TNT Express segment reported (adjusted measures exclude TNT Express integration and Outlook restructuring program costs and intangible asset amortization expense):

 

		Fiscal 2017
		As Reported (GAAP)		Adjusted (non-GAAP)
Revenue		$1.80 billion		$1.80 billion
Operating (loss)/income		($14) million		$34 million
Operating margin		(0.8%)		1.9%

The TNT Express as-reported results include $28 million of intangible asset amortization expense and $20 million of integration and Outlook restructuring program costs.

FedEx Ground Segment

For the first quarter, the FedEx Ground segment reported:

 

		Fiscal 2017				Fiscal 2016				Change
Revenue		$	4.29 billion			$	3.83 billion			12%
Operating income		$	610 million			$	537 million			14%
Operating margin			14.2%				14.0%			0.2 pts

Revenue increased due to higher volume and revenue per package. FedEx Ground average daily volume grew 10% in the first quarter, driven by e–commerce and commercial package growth. FedEx Ground yield increased 2% due to higher base yields partially offset by lower fuel surcharges.

Operating results improved due to higher volumes, increased yields and lower self-insurance costs, partially offset by higher network expansion costs and increased purchased transportation rates including higher postage.

FedEx Freight Segment

For the first quarter, the FedEx Freight segment reported:

 

		Fiscal 2017		Fiscal 2016		Change
Revenue		$1.66 billion		$1.60 billion		4%
Operating income		$135 million		$132 million		2%
Operating margin		8.1%		8.2%		(0.1 pts)

Revenue increased as less-than-truckload (LTL) average daily shipment growth of 8% more than offset the impact of lower fuel surcharges and weight per shipment.

Operating results benefited from higher shipment volumes and a favorable rentals comparison, as last year’s results included a charge related to a facility closure. These benefits were offset by lower revenue per LTL shipment.

RECONCILIATIONS OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

TO GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

First Quarter Fiscal 2017 Results

The company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP” or “reported”). We have supplemented the reporting of our financial information determined in accordance with GAAP with certain non-GAAP (or “adjusted”) financial measures, including adjusted consolidated operating income and margin, net income and earnings per share, as well as adjusted FedEx Express segment and TNT Express segment operating income and margin. These financial measures have been adjusted to exclude the impact of certain transactions (as applicable):

 

•

TNT Express integration and Outlook restructuring program costs; and

 

•

TNT Express intangible asset amortization.

We expect to incur significant expenses over the next few years in connection with our integration of TNT Express and the Outlook restructuring program. We have adjusted the applicable financial measures to exclude these items because we generally would not incur such costs and expenses as part of our continuing operations. The integration expenses are predominantly incremental costs directly associated with the integration of TNT Express, including professional fees, advertising expenses, legal expenses and travel. Internal salaries, wages, and benefits costs are included only to the extent the individuals are assigned full-time to integration activities. The Outlook restructuring program is a TNT Express legacy program that includes various initiatives focused on yield management, improved operational efficiency and productivity and improved customer service.

We will also have recurring intangible asset amortization expenses. The company and TNT Express incurred, and will continue incurring, these expenses solely as a result of the company’s acquisition of TNT Express and the related purchase accounting treatment. We excluded intangible asset amortization from the company’s and TNT Express’s fiscal 2017 first quarter financial results to help investors understand the impact of these expenses on TNT Express’s base business and to facilitate the overall comparability of the company’s consolidated financial results. We will not adjust our financial results for intangible asset amortization beginning in fiscal 2018 because the company’s and TNT Express’s financial results will be comparable year-over-year at that time. Given the timing and complexity of the TNT Express acquisition, the presentation of TNT Express in the company’s financial statements, including the allocation of the purchase price, is preliminary and will likely change in future periods, perhaps significantly, as fair value estimates of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are refined during the measurement period. We will complete our purchase price allocation no later than the fourth quarter of 2017.

We believe these adjusted financial measures facilitate more meaningful analysis and more accurate comparisons of our ongoing business operations because they exclude items that enhance comparability to prior periods, may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, the company’s and our business segments’ core operating performance, and are better measures for assessing trends in our underlying businesses. These adjustments are consistent with how management views our businesses. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and evaluating the company’s and each business segment’s ongoing performance.

Fiscal 2017 Earnings Guidance

Our fiscal 2017 earnings guidance is a non-GAAP financial measure because it excludes the fiscal 2017 year-end mark-to-market (“MTM”) pension accounting adjustments, projected fiscal 2017 TNT Express integration and Outlook restructuring program costs, and projected fiscal 2017 TNT Express intangible asset amortization. We have provided this non-GAAP earnings guidance measure for the same reasons that were outlined above for historical non-GAAP measures.

We are unable to predict the amount of the year-end MTM pension accounting adjustments, as they are significantly impacted by changes in interest rates and the financial markets, so such adjustments are not included in our earnings guidance. For this reason, a full reconciliation of our fiscal 2017 earnings guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is impracticable. It is reasonably possible, however, that our fourth quarter fiscal

2017 MTM pension accounting adjustments could have a material impact on our fiscal 2017 consolidated financial results. The last table included below outlines the impact of the items that are excluded from our earnings guidance, other than the year-end MTM pension accounting adjustments.
