FEDEX CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

(1) General

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES. These interim financial statements of FedEx Corporation (“FedEx”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) instructions for interim financial information, and should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2011 (“Annual Report”). Accordingly, significant accounting policies and other disclosures normally provided have been omitted since such items are disclosed in our Annual Report.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly our financial position as of February 29, 2012, the results of our operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011. Operating results for the three- and nine-month periods ended February 29, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending May 31, 2012.

BUSINESS ACQUISITION. On July 25, 2011, we completed our acquisition of Servicios Nacionales Mupa, S.A. de C.V. (MultiPack), a Mexican domestic express package delivery company, for $128 million in cash from operations. The financial results of the acquired business are included in the Federal Express Corporation (“FedEx Express”) segment from the date of acquisition and were not material to our results of operations or financial condition. Substantially all of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill, which was entirely attributed to our FedEx Express reporting unit.

EMPLOYEES UNDER COLLECTIVE BARGAINING ARRANGEMENTS. The pilots of FedEx Express, which represent a small number of FedEx Express’s total employees, are employed under a collective bargaining agreement. During the fourth quarter of 2011 the pilots ratified a new labor contract that includes safety initiatives, increases in hourly pay rates and travel per diem rates, and provisions for opening a European crew base. The new contract becomes amendable in March 2013 as the pilot’s union determined, during the third quarter of 2012, not to exercise its option to shorten the contract. In addition to our pilots at FedEx Express, certain of FedEx’s non-U.S. employees are unionized.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION. We have two types of equity-based compensation: stock options and restricted stock. The key terms of the stock option and restricted stock awards granted under our incentive stock plans and all financial disclosures about these programs are set forth in our Annual Report.

Our stock-based compensation expense was $22 million for the three-month period ended February 29, 2012 and $83 million for the nine-month period ended February 29, 2012. Our stock-based compensation expense was $21 million for the three-month period ended February 28, 2011 and $78 million for the nine-month period ended February 28, 2011. Due to its immateriality, additional disclosures related to stock-based compensation have been excluded from this quarterly report.

NEW ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE. New accounting rules and disclosure requirements can significantly impact our reported results and the comparability of our financial statements. See our Annual Report for a discussion of the impact of new accounting guidance issued but not yet effective as of May 31, 2011. We believe that no new accounting guidance was adopted or issued during the nine months of 2012 that is relevant to the readers of our financial statements. However, there are numerous new proposals under development which, if and when enacted, may have a significant impact on our financial reporting.

- 7 -

TREASURY SHARES. During the second quarter of 2012, we repurchased 2.8 million FedEx common shares at an average price of $70 per share for a total of $197 million. As of February 29, 2012, 2.9 million shares remained under existing share repurchase authorizations.

DIVIDENDS DECLARED PER COMMON SHARE. On February 17, 2012, our Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.13 per share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on April 2, 2012 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 12, 2012. Each quarterly dividend payment is subject to review and approval by our Board of Directors, and we evaluate our dividend payment amount on an annual basis at the end of each fiscal year.

(2) Comprehensive Income

The following tables provide a reconciliation of net income reported in our financial statements to comprehensive income for the periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 (in millions):

		September 30,		September 30,
	Three Months Ended

Amortization of unrealized pension actuarial gains/losses and other, net of tax of $55 in 2012 and $46 in 2011		94			78


Comprehensive income	$	1,549		$	1,078

(3) Financing Arrangements

We have a shelf registration statement filed with the SEC that allows us to sell, in one or more future offerings, any combination of our unsecured debt securities and common stock.

A $1 billion revolving credit facility is available to finance our operations and other cash flow needs and to provide support for the issuance of commercial paper. The revolving credit agreement expires in April 2016. The agreement contains a financial covenant, which requires us to maintain a leverage ratio of adjusted debt (long-term debt, including the current portion of such debt, plus six times our last four fiscal quarters’ rentals and landing fees) to capital (adjusted debt plus total common stockholders’ investment) that does not exceed 70%. Our leverage ratio of adjusted debt to capital was 50% at February 29, 2012. We believe the leverage ratio covenant is our only significant restrictive covenant in our revolving credit agreement. Our revolving credit agreement contains other customary covenants that do not, individually or in the aggregate, materially restrict the conduct of our business. We are in compliance with the leverage ratio covenant and all other covenants of our revolving credit agreement and do not expect the covenants to affect our operations, including our liquidity or expected funding needs. As of February 29, 2012, no commercial paper was outstanding, and the entire $1 billion under the revolving credit facility was available for future borrowings.

- 8 -

Long-term debt, exclusive of capital leases, had a carrying value of $1.5 billion compared with an estimated fair value of $1.9 billion at February 29, 2012 and May 31, 2011. The estimated fair values were determined based on quoted market prices or on the current rates offered for debt with similar terms and maturities.

(4) Computation of Earnings Per Share

The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 was as follows (in millions, except per share amounts):

(5) Retirement Plans

We sponsor programs that provide retirement benefits to most of our employees. These programs include defined benefit pension plans, defined contribution plans and postretirement healthcare plans. Key terms of our retirement plans are provided in our Annual Report. Our retirement plans costs for the periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 were as follows (in millions):

		September 30,		September 30,		September 30,		September 30,
	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended

(6) Business Segment Information

Our reportable segments include the following businesses:


FedEx Express Segment		FedEx Express (express transportation)
		FedEx Trade Networks (global trade services)
		FedEx SupplyChain Systems (logistics services)

FedEx Ground Segment		FedEx Ground (small-package ground delivery)
		FedEx SmartPost (small-parcel consolidator)

FedEx Freight Segment		FedEx Freight (LTL freight transportation)
		FedEx Custom Critical (time-critical transportation)

FedEx Services Segment		FedEx Services (sales, marketing and information technology functions)
		FedEx TechConnect (customer service, technical support, billings and collections)
		FedEx Office (document and business services and package acceptance)

FedEx Services Segment

The FedEx Services segment operates combined sales, marketing, administrative and information technology functions in shared services operations that support our transportation businesses and allow us to obtain synergies from the combination of these functions. For the international regions of FedEx Express, some of these functions are performed on a regional basis by FedEx Express and reported in the FedEx Express segment in expense line items outside of intercompany charges. The FedEx Services segment includes: FedEx Services, which provides sales, marketing and information technology support to our other companies; FedEx TechConnect, which is responsible for customer service, technical support, billings and collections for U.S. customers of our major business units; and FedEx Office, which provides an array of document and business services and retail access to our customers for our package transportation businesses.

The FedEx Services segment provides direct and indirect support to our transportation businesses, and we allocate all of the net operating costs of the FedEx Services segment (including the net operating results of FedEx Office) to reflect the full cost of operating our transportation businesses in the results of those segments. Within the FedEx Services segment allocation, the net operating results of FedEx Office are allocated to FedEx Express and FedEx Ground. The allocations of net operating costs are based on metrics such as relative revenues or estimated services provided. We believe these allocations approximate the net cost of providing these functions. We review and evaluate the performance of our transportation segments based on operating income (inclusive of FedEx Services segment allocations). For the FedEx Services segment, performance is evaluated based on the impact of its total allocated net operating costs on our transportation segments.

The operating expenses line item “Intercompany charges” on the accompanying unaudited financial summaries of our transportation segments in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition reflects the allocations from the FedEx Services segment to the respective transportation segments. The “Intercompany charges” caption also includes charges and credits for administrative services provided between operating companies and certain other costs such as corporate management fees related to services received for general corporate oversight, including executive officers and certain legal and finance functions. We believe these allocations approximate the net cost of providing these functions.

- 11 -

Other Intersegment Transactions

Certain FedEx operating companies provide transportation and related services for other FedEx companies outside their reportable segment. Billings for such services are based on negotiated rates, which we believe approximate fair value, and are reflected as revenues of the billing segment. These rates are adjusted from time to time based on market conditions. Such intersegment revenues and expenses are eliminated in our consolidated results and are not separately identified in the following segment information because the amounts are not material.

The following table provides a reconciliation of reportable segment revenues and operating income (loss) to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement totals for the periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 (in millions):

		September 30,			September 30,			September 30,			September 30,

(7) Commitments

		September 30,		September 30,		September 30,
	Aircraft and Aircraft Related		Other⁽¹⁾		Total

Our obligation to purchase 13 Boeing 777 Freighters (“B777F”) is conditioned upon there being no event that causes FedEx Express or its employees not to be covered by the Railway Labor Act of 1926, as amended (“RLA”). Commitments to purchase aircraft in passenger configuration do not include the attendant costs to modify these aircraft for cargo transport unless we have entered into noncancelable commitments to modify such aircraft. Open purchase orders that are cancelable are not considered unconditional purchase obligations for financial reporting purposes and are not included in the table above.

In December 2011, FedEx Express entered into an agreement to acquire 27 new Boeing 767-300 Freighter (“B767F”) aircraft, with the first three arriving in 2014 followed by six per year from 2015 to 2018. In conjunction with the execution of the B767F aircraft purchase agreement, FedEx Express also delayed the delivery of nine B777F aircraft, five of which were deferred from 2014 and one per year from 2015 to 2018, to better align air network capacity to demand. FedEx Express also removed the RLA condition from two of the 15 B777F aircraft (bringing the number of purchase obligations subject to the condition to 13) and exercised two B777F options for aircraft to be delivered at the end of the delivery schedule.

We had $734 million in deposits and progress payments as of February 29, 2012 on aircraft purchases and other planned aircraft-related transactions. These deposits are classified in the “Other assets” caption of our condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition to our commitment to purchase B777Fs and B767Fs, our aircraft purchase commitments include the Boeing 757 (“B757”) in passenger configuration, which will require additional costs to modify for cargo transport. Aircraft and aircraft-related contracts are subject to price escalations. The following table is a summary of the key aircraft we are committed to purchase as of February 29, 2012, with the year of expected delivery:

(8) Contingencies

Wage-and-Hour. We are a defendant in a number of lawsuits containing various class-action allegations of wage-and-hour violations. The plaintiffs in these lawsuits allege, 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. The complaints generally seek unspecified monetary damages, injunctive relief, or both. We do not believe that a material loss is reasonably possible with respect to any of these matters.

In September 2009, in Taylor v. FedEx Freight, a California state court granted class certification, certifying a class of all current and former drivers employed by FedEx Freight in California who performed linehaul services since June 2003. The plaintiffs alleged, among other things, that they were forced to work “off the clock” and were not provided with required rest or meal breaks. We entered into a tentative settlement agreement with the plaintiffs in June 2011 for an immaterial amount. The order of preliminary approval of settlement was entered by the court in September 2011. Class notices were mailed in October 2011. The court granted final approval of the settlement in January 2012.

Independent Contractor — Lawsuits and State Administrative Proceedings. FedEx Ground is involved in numerous class-action lawsuits (including 30 that have been certified as class actions), individual lawsuits and state tax and other administrative proceedings that claim that the company’s owner-operators should be treated as employees, rather than independent contractors.

Most of the class-action lawsuits were consolidated for administration of the pre-trial proceedings by a single federal court, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Indiana. The multidistrict litigation court granted class certification in 28 cases and denied it in 14 cases. On December 13, 2010, the court entered an opinion and order addressing all outstanding motions for summary judgment on the status of the owner-operators (i.e., independent contractor vs. employee). In sum, the court has now ruled on our summary judgment motions and entered judgment in favor of FedEx Ground on all claims in 20 of the 28 multidistrict litigation cases that had been certified as class actions, finding that the owner-operators in those cases were contractors as a matter of the law of the following states: Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas (the court previously dismissed without prejudice the nationwide class claim under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 based on the plaintiffs’ failure to exhaust administrative remedies), Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia and Wisconsin. The plaintiffs filed notices of appeal in all of these 20 cases. The Seventh Circuit heard the appeal in the Kansas case first in January 2012.

The court remanded the other eight certified class actions back to the district courts where they were originally filed because its summary judgment ruling did not completely dispose of all of the claims in those lawsuits. Specifically, in the five cases in Arkansas, California, Florida, and Oregon (two certified cases), the court’s ruling granted summary judgment in FedEx Ground’s favor on all of the certified claims but did not decide the uncertified claims. In the three cases filed in Kentucky, Nevada and New Hampshire, the court ruled in favor of FedEx Ground on some of the claims and against FedEx Ground on at least one claim. In January 2011, we asked the court to issue final judgments in these eight cases, and the court denied our motion. In July 2011, we filed a petition to the Seventh Circuit asking the appeals court to require these cases to be returned to the multidistrict litigation court for issuance of a final judgment so that all appeals of the December 2010 summary judgment rulings would be heard by the Seventh Circuit, and in November 2011, the Seventh Circuit denied our petition.

In January 2008, one of the contractor-model lawsuits that is not part of the multidistrict litigation, Anfinson v. FedEx Ground, was certified as a class action by a Washington state court. The plaintiffs in Anfinson represent a class of single-route, pickup-and-delivery owner-operators in Washington from December 21, 2001 through December 31, 2005 and allege that the class members should be reimbursed as employees for their uniform expenses and should receive overtime pay. In March 2009, a jury trial in the Anfinson case was held, and the jury returned a verdict in favor of FedEx Ground, finding that all 320 class members were independent contractors, not employees. The plaintiffs appealed the verdict. In December 2010, the Washington Court of Appeals reversed and remanded for further proceedings, including a new trial. We filed a motion to reconsider, and this motion was denied. In March 2011, we filed a discretionary appeal with the Washington Supreme Court, and in August 2011, that petition was granted. The Washington Supreme Court heard oral arguments in February 2012.

- 14 -

In August 2010, another one of the contractor-model lawsuits that is not part of the multidistrict litigation, Rascon v. FedEx Ground, was certified as a class action by a Colorado state court. The plaintiff in Rascon represents a class of single-route, pickup-and-delivery owner-operators in Colorado who drove vehicles weighing less than 10,001 pounds at any time from August 27, 2005 through the present. The lawsuit seeks unpaid overtime compensation, and related penalties and attorneys’ fees and costs, under Colorado law. Our applications for appeal challenging this class certification decision have been rejected.

Other contractor-model cases that are not or are no longer part of the multidistrict litigation are in varying stages of litigation.

With respect to the state administrative proceedings relating to the classification of FedEx Ground’s owner-operators as independent contractors, during the second quarter of 2011, the attorneys general in New York and Kentucky each filed lawsuits against FedEx Ground challenging the validity of the contractor model. In January 2012, FedEx Ground settled the lawsuit filed by the Kentucky Attorney General for an immaterial amount.

While the granting of summary judgment in favor of FedEx Ground by the multidistrict litigation court in 20 of the 28 cases that had been certified as class actions remains subject to appeal, we believe that it significantly improves the likelihood that our independent contractor model will be upheld. Adverse determinations in matters related to FedEx Ground’s independent contractors, however, could, among other things, entitle certain of our contractors and their drivers to the reimbursement of certain expenses and to the benefit of wage-and-hour laws and result in employment and withholding tax and benefit liability for FedEx Ground, and could result in changes to the independent contractor status of FedEx Ground’s owner-operators in certain jurisdictions. We believe that FedEx Ground’s owner-operators are properly classified as independent contractors and that FedEx Ground is not an employer of the drivers of the company’s independent contractors. While it is reasonably possible that potential loss in some of these lawsuits or such changes to the independent contractor status of FedEx Ground’s owner-operators could be material, we cannot yet determine the amount or reasonable range of potential loss. A number of factors contribute to this. The number of plaintiffs in these lawsuits continues to change, with some being dismissed and others being added and, as to new plaintiffs, discovery is still ongoing. In addition, the parties have not yet conducted any discovery into damages, which could vary considerably from plaintiff to plaintiff. Further, the range of potential loss could be impacted considerably by future rulings on the merits of certain claims and FedEx Ground’s various defenses, and on evidentiary issues. In any event, we do not believe that a material loss is probable in these matters.

ATA Airlines. In October 2010, a jury returned a verdict in favor of ATA Airlines in its breach of contract lawsuit against FedEx Express and awarded damages of $66 million, and in January 2011, the court awarded ATA pre-judgment interest of $5 million. In December 2011, the Seventh Circuit overturned the entire judgment entered against FedEx Express. ATA Airlines requested the Seventh Circuit to rehear oral argument on appeal, and in February 2012, the Seventh Circuit denied the request. The time for filing further appeal has passed. We have reversed the $66 million accrual established in the second quarter of 2011.

California Paystub Class Action. A federal court in California ruled in April 2011 that paystubs for certain FedEx Express employees in California did not meet that state’s requirements to reflect pay period begin date, total overtime hours worked and the correct overtime wage rate. The ruling came in a class action lawsuit filed by a former courier seeking damages on behalf of herself and all other FedEx Express employees in California that allegedly received noncompliant paystubs. The court certified the class in June 2011. The court has ruled that FedEx Express is liable to the State of California, and there will be a ruling as to whether FedEx Express is liable to class members who can prove they were injured by the paystub deficiencies. The judge has not yet decided on the amount, if any, of liability to the State of California or to the class, but has wide discretion. Prior to any decision on the amount of liability, we reached an agreement to settle this matter for an immaterial amount in October 2011, subject to approval by the court. The court preliminarily approved the proposed settlement in January 2012. Class notices were mailed in March 2012.

Other. FedEx and its subsidiaries are subject to other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of their business. In the opinion of management, the aggregate liability, if any, with respect to these other actions will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

(10) Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements

We are required to present condensed consolidating financial information in order for the subsidiary guarantors (other than FedEx Express) of our public debt to continue to be exempt from reporting under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The guarantor subsidiaries, which are wholly owned by FedEx, guarantee $1.0 billion of our debt. The guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. Our guarantor subsidiaries were not determined using geographic, service line or other similar criteria, and as a result, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries” and “Non-guarantor Subsidiaries” columns each include portions of our domestic and international operations. Accordingly, this basis of presentation is not intended to present our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows for any purpose other than to comply with the specific requirements for subsidiary guarantor reporting. Condensed consolidating financial statements for our guarantor subsidiaries and non-guarantor subsidiaries are presented in the following tables (in millions):

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED

PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Directors and Stockholders

FedEx Corporation

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of FedEx Corporation as of February 29, 2012, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the three-month and nine-month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of FedEx Corporation as of May 31, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders’ investment and comprehensive income, and cash flows for the year then ended not presented herein, and in our report dated July 12, 2011, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of May 31, 2011, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition

GENERAL

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition (“MD&A”) describes the principal factors affecting the results of operations, liquidity, capital resources, contractual cash obligations and critical accounting estimates of FedEx Corporation (“FedEx”). This discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying quarterly unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2011 (“Annual Report”). Our Annual Report includes additional information about our significant accounting policies, practices and the transactions that underlie our financial results, as well as a detailed discussion of the most significant risks and uncertainties associated with our financial condition and operating results.

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 provider of small-package ground delivery services; and FedEx Freight, Inc. (“FedEx Freight”), a leading U.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 and information technology 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.

The key indicators necessary to understand our operating results include:

•

the overall customer demand for our various services;

•

the volumes of transportation services provided through our networks, primarily measured by our average daily volume and shipment weight;

•

the mix of services purchased by our customers;

•

the prices we obtain for our services, primarily measured by yield (revenue per package or pound or revenue per hundredweight for LTL freight shipments);

•

our ability to manage our cost structure (capital expenditures and operating expenses) to match shifting volume levels; and

•

the timing and amount of fluctuations in fuel prices and our ability to recover incremental fuel costs through our fuel surcharges.

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 change 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.

Except as otherwise specified, references to years indicate our fiscal year ending May 31, 2012 or ended May 31 of the year referenced and comparisons are to the corresponding period of the prior year. References to our transportation segments include, collectively, our FedEx Express, FedEx Ground and FedEx Freight segments.

Overview

Strong earnings growth at the FedEx Ground segment and ongoing yield management programs at all of our transportation segments resulted in improved results in the third quarter and nine months of 2012, despite continued slow economic growth. Our year-over-year comparisons for the third quarter and nine months of 2012 were impacted by certain one-time items, which are described below.

Our third quarter of 2012 results include the reversal of a $66 million reserve associated with the ATA Airlines lawsuit at FedEx Express. This reserve was initially recorded in the second quarter of 2011 when a loss was deemed probable as a result of an adverse decision in the lawsuit. We reversed this reserve during the third quarter of 2012 when FedEx Express won the appeal of this case and the court overturned the prior ruling. In addition, the third quarter and nine months of 2011 include one-time costs associated with the combination of our FedEx Freight and FedEx National LTL operations of $43 million in the third quarter of 2011 and $130 million in the nine months of 2011. Collectively, these items favorably impacted our year-over-year results by an estimated $0.18 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2012 and $0.45 per diluted share in the nine months of 2012, after considering the effect of variable incentive compensation accruals.

- 24 -

During the third quarter and nine months of 2012 our results benefited from the timing lag that exists between when fuel prices change and when indexed fuel surcharges automatically adjust. Our year-over-year results for the third quarter and nine months of 2012 also benefited from milder winter weather, as our third quarter 2011 results were negatively impacted by unusually severe winter weather.

At our FedEx Ground segment, revenues and operating income increased in the third quarter and nine months of 2012 due to increased yields and strong demand for FedEx Home Delivery and FedEx SmartPost services. In addition to the benefits from the fuel surcharge timing lag, milder winter weather and the reversal of the ATA Airlines matter (described above), FedEx Express revenues and operating income benefited from higher U.S. domestic package and International Priority (“IP”) package yields in the third quarter and nine months of 2012. Slow global economic growth driven by constrained consumer demand resulted in package volume declines in U.S. domestic and IP services during the third quarter and nine months of 2012 at FedEx Express, while international domestic volumes increased due to acquisitions in India and Mexico. Despite a slight operating loss during the third quarter of 2012, the operating results at our FedEx Freight segment improved significantly for the third quarter and nine months of 2012 due to higher fuel surcharges, base yield growth and improved operational efficiencies.

The following graphs for FedEx Express, FedEx Ground and FedEx Freight show selected volume trends (in thousands) over the five most recent quarters:

Revenue

Revenues increased 9% in the third quarter and 10% in the nine months of 2012 due to yield increases across all of our transportation segments. Revenues at FedEx Express increased 8% during the third quarter and 10% in the nine months of 2012 primarily due to an increase in yield, partially offset by decreases in U.S. domestic and IP volumes. At the FedEx Ground segment, revenues increased 14% in both the third quarter and nine months of 2012 due to yield and volume growth at both FedEx Ground and FedEx SmartPost. Revenues at FedEx Freight increased 10% during the third quarter of 2012 and 8% in the nine months of 2012 due to higher fuel surcharges and yield management actions, despite a decrease in volume for the nine months of 2012.

⁽²⁾	The third quarter of 2012 includes the reversal of a $66 million legal reserve associated with the ATA Airlines lawsuit. The reserve was initially recorded in the second quarter of 2011 (see Note 8 of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements).

Operating income and operating margin increased in both the third quarter and nine months of 2012 as a result of increased yields due to higher fuel surcharges and our yield management programs. In addition, our year-over-year comparisons were favorably impacted in the third quarter and nine months of 2012 by the one-time items described in the “Overview” section above. Our third quarter of 2012 results also benefited from milder winter weather, as our third quarter 2011 results were negatively impacted by unusually severe winter weather.

- 27 -

Salaries and employee benefits increased 5% in both the third quarter and the nine months of 2012 primarily due to higher incentive compensation and the full reinstatement of 401(k) company-matching contributions effective January 1, 2011. Purchased transportation costs increased 12% in the third quarter and 13% in the nine months of 2012 due to higher fuel costs and volume growth at FedEx Ground, costs associated with the expansion of our freight forwarding business at FedEx Trade Networks and higher utilization of third-party transportation providers in international locations primarily due to business acquisitions at FedEx Express.

The following graph for our transportation segments shows our average cost of jet and vehicle fuel per gallon for the five most recent quarters:

LOGO

Fuel expense increased 18% during the third quarter of 2012 and 28% for the nine months of 2012 due to increases in the average price per gallon of fuel. Our fuel surcharges, which are more fully described in the “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” section of this MD&A, have a timing lag and are designed to pass through the price of fuel not included in our base shipping rates to our customers. Based on a static analysis of the impact to operating income of year-over-year changes in fuel prices compared to changes in fuel surcharges, fuel surcharges more than offset incremental fuel costs for the third quarter and nine months of 2012.

Our analysis considers the estimated impact of the reduction in fuel surcharges included in the base rates charged for FedEx Express and FedEx Ground services. However, this analysis does not consider the negative effects that fuel surcharge levels may have on our business, including reduced demand and shifts by our customers to lower-yielding services. While fluctuations in fuel surcharge rates can be significant from period to period, fuel surcharges represent one of the many individual components of our pricing structure that impact our overall revenue and yield. Additional components include the mix of services sold, the base price and extra service charges we obtain for these services and the level of pricing discounts offered. In order to provide information about the impact of fuel surcharges on the trend in revenue and yield growth, we have included the comparative fuel surcharge rates in effect for the third quarter and nine months of 2012 and 2011 in the accompanying discussions of each of our transportation segments.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate was 34.1% for the third quarter of 2012 and 35.4% for the nine months of 2012, compared with 35.7% for the third quarter of 2011 and 36.1% for the nine months of 2011. Our tax rates for both periods in 2012 were favorably impacted by the conclusion of the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) audit of our 2007-2009 consolidated income tax returns noted below. For the remainder of 2012, we expect our effective tax rate to be between 36.0% and 37.0%. The actual rate, however, will depend on a number of factors, including the amount and source of operating income.

- 28 -

As of February 29, 2012, there were no material changes to our liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits from May 31, 2011. The IRS completed its audit of our 2007 through 2009 consolidated U.S. income tax returns, and the result of the audit did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

We file income tax returns in the U.S. and various U.S. states and foreign jurisdictions. It is reasonably possible that certain other U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign jurisdiction income tax return proceedings could be completed during the next 12 months and result in a change in our balance of unrecognized tax benefits. An estimate of the range of the change cannot be made at this time; however, the expected impact of any changes would not be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Business Acquisition

On July 25, 2011, we completed our acquisition of Servicios Nacionales Mupa, S.A. de C.V. (MultiPack), a Mexican domestic express package delivery company, for $128 million in cash from operations. The financial results of the acquired business are included in the FedEx Express segment from the date of acquisition and were not material to our results of operations or financial condition. Substantially all of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill, which was entirely attributed to our FedEx Express reporting unit.

Outlook

We expect strong yields across all our transportation segments to support revenue and earnings growth in the fourth quarter of 2012. Our expectations for the fourth quarter of 2012 are based on current global economic conditions and a stable fuel price environment.

We are evaluating actions to adjust our FedEx Express U.S. domestic network capacity and improve efficiency. However, we remain committed to investing in critical long-term strategic projects focused on improving our cost structure and enhancing and broadening our service offerings to position us for stronger growth as global economic conditions improve. For additional details on key 2012 capital projects, refer to the “Liquidity Outlook” section of this MD&A.

All of our businesses operate in a competitive pricing environment, exacerbated by continuing volatile fuel prices, which impact our fuel surcharge levels. Historically, our fuel surcharges have largely offset incremental fuel costs; however, volatility in fuel costs may impact earnings because adjustments to our fuel surcharges lag changes in actual fuel prices paid. Therefore, the trailing impact of adjustments to our fuel surcharges can significantly affect our earnings either positively or negatively in the short-term.

As described in Note 8 of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the “Evolution of Independent Contractor Model” section of our FedEx Ground segment MD&A, we are involved in a number of lawsuits and other proceedings that challenge the status of FedEx Ground’s owner-operators as independent contractors. FedEx Ground anticipates continuing changes to its relationships with its contractors. The nature, timing and amount of any changes are dependent on the outcome of numerous future events. We cannot reasonably estimate the potential impact of any such changes or a meaningful range of potential outcomes, although they could be material. However, we do not believe that any such changes will impair our ability to operate and profitably grow our FedEx Ground business.

See “Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of these and other potential risks and uncertainties that could materially affect our future performance.

NEW ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

New accounting rules and disclosure requirements can significantly impact our reported results and the comparability of our financial statements. See our Annual Report for a discussion of the impact of new accounting guidance issued but not yet effective as of May 31, 2011. We believe that no new accounting guidance was adopted or issued during the nine months of 2012 that is relevant to the readers of our financial statements.

- 29 -

However, there are numerous new proposals under development which, if and when enacted, may have a significant impact on our financial reporting.

REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

FedEx Express, FedEx Ground and FedEx Freight represent our major service lines and, along with FedEx Services, form the core of our reportable segments. Our reportable segments include the following businesses:


FedEx Express Segment		FedEx Express (express transportation)
		FedEx Trade Networks (global trade services)
		FedEx SupplyChain Systems (logistics services)

FedEx Ground Segment		FedEx Ground (small-package ground delivery)
		FedEx SmartPost (small-parcel consolidator)

FedEx Freight Segment		FedEx Freight (LTL freight transportation)
		FedEx Custom Critical (time-critical transportation)

FedEx Services Segment		FedEx Services (sales, marketing and information technology functions)
		FedEx TechConnect (customer service, technical support, billings and collections)
		FedEx Office (document and business services and package acceptance)

FEDEX SERVICES SEGMENT

The operating expenses line item “Intercompany charges” on the accompanying unaudited financial summaries of our transportation segments reflects the allocations from the FedEx Services segment to the respective transportation segments. The “Intercompany charges” caption also includes charges and credits for administrative services provided between operating companies and certain other costs such as corporate management fees related to services received for general corporate oversight, including executive officers and certain legal and finance functions. We believe these allocations approximate the net cost of providing these functions.

FedEx Express Segment Revenues

FedEx Express segment revenues increased 8% in the third quarter and 10% in the nine months of 2012 primarily due to an increase in U.S. domestic and IP package yields, partially offset by decreases in U.S. domestic and IP volumes. Ongoing weakness in global growth continued to be reflected in reduced demand for our U.S. domestic and IP package services in the third quarter and nine months of 2012. U.S. domestic package yields increased in the third quarter primarily due to increased rate per pound and higher fuel surcharges. IP package yields increased in the third quarter due to higher fuel surcharges and increased package weights. In the nine months of 2012, U.S. domestic package yields increased primarily due to higher fuel surcharges and increased rate per pound. IP package yields increased in the nine months of 2012 primarily due to higher fuel surcharges, increased rate per pound and increased package weights.

Our fuel surcharges are indexed to the spot price for jet fuel. Using this index, the U.S. domestic and outbound fuel surcharge and the international fuel surcharges ranged as follows for the periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011:

		September 30,			September 30,			September 30,			September 30,
	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	2012			2011			2012			2011
U.S. Domestic and Outbound Fuel Surcharge:
Low		11.50	%		9.00	%		11.50	%		7.00	%
High		14.00			10.00			16.50			10.00
Weighted-average		12.91			9.70			14.36			8.68

International Fuel Surcharges:
Low		13.50			9.00			13.50			7.00
High		19.00			15.00			23.00			15.00
Weighted-average		16.45			12.04			17.23			11.22

On January 2, 2012, we implemented a 5.9% average list price increase for FedEx Express U.S. domestic, U.S. export and U.S. import services, while we lowered our fuel surcharge index by two percentage points. On January 3, 2011, we implemented a 5.9% average list price increase for FedEx Express U.S. domestic and U.S. outbound express package and freight shipments and made various changes to other surcharges, while we lowered our fuel surcharge index by two percentage points.

FedEx Express Segment Operating Income

FedEx Express operating results for the third quarter and nine months of 2012 benefited from the timing lag that exists between when fuel prices change and when indexed fuel surcharges automatically adjust. The FedEx Express segment’s third quarter of 2012 results also benefited from a milder winter, as third quarter of 2011 results were negatively impacted by unusually severe winter weather. Third quarter of 2012 results include the reversal of a legal reserve of $66 million associated with the ATA Airlines lawsuit (see the “Overview” section above and Note 8 of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements). This reserve was initially recorded in the second quarter of 2011. Additionally, operating income and operating margin increased during the third quarter and nine months of 2012 due to U.S. domestic and IP package yield improvement, partially offset by decreases in U.S. domestic and IP volumes. One additional operating day at FedEx Express also contributed to earnings growth for the third quarter and nine months of 2012.

Salaries and employee benefits increased 4% in the third quarter of 2012 and 5% in the nine months of 2012 due to higher incentive compensation accruals and the full reinstatement of 401(k) company-matching contributions effective January 1, 2011. Purchased transportation costs increased 16% in the third quarter and 18% in the nine months of 2012 due to costs associated with the expansion of our freight forwarding business at FedEx Trade Networks, recent business acquisitions in India and Mexico and higher utilization of third-party transportation providers, primarily in Europe. Intercompany charges increased 10% in the third quarter of 2012 and 8% in the nine months of 2012 due to higher allocated variable incentive compensation expenses.

Fuel costs increased 20% in the third quarter of 2012 and 30% in the nine months of 2012 due to increases in the average price per gallon of fuel. Based on a static analysis of the net impact of year-over-year changes in fuel prices compared to year-over-year changes in fuel surcharges, fuel had a positive impact on operating income in both the third quarter and nine months of 2012. This analysis considers the estimated impact of the reduction in fuel surcharges included in the base rates charged for FedEx Express services.

FedEx Ground Segment Revenues

FedEx Ground segment revenues increased 14% in both the third quarter and nine months of 2012 due to yield and volume growth at both FedEx Ground and FedEx SmartPost.

- 35 -

FedEx Ground yield improved during the third quarter and nine months of 2012 primarily due to increased rates, higher fuel surcharges and higher extra service revenue. Average daily volume increased 5% at FedEx Ground during both the third quarter and nine months of 2012 due to market share gains from continued growth in our FedEx Home Delivery service and increases in our commercial business.

FedEx SmartPost volumes grew 13% during the third quarter of 2012 and 19% in the nine months of 2012 as a result of growth in e-commerce. Yields at FedEx SmartPost increased 5% during both the third quarter and nine months of 2012 primarily due to higher fuel surcharges. FedEx SmartPost yield represents the amount charged to customers net of postage paid to the United States Postal Service (“USPS”).

The FedEx Ground fuel surcharge is based on a rounded average of the national U.S. on-highway average price for a gallon of diesel fuel, as published by the Department of Energy. Our fuel surcharge ranged as follows for the periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011:

		September 30,xxxx			September 30,xxxx			September 30,xxxx			September 30,xxxx
	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	2012			2011			2012			2011
Low		7.50	%		5.50	%		7.50	%		5.50	%
High		8.50			6.00			9.50			6.00
Weighted-average		8.04			5.85			8.61			5.78

On January 2, 2012 FedEx Ground and FedEx Home Delivery implemented a 4.9% average list price increase. The full average rate increase of 5.9% was partially offset by adjusting the fuel price threshold at which the fuel surcharge begins, reducing the fuel surcharge by one percentage point. FedEx SmartPost rates also increased. On January 3, 2011 FedEx Ground and FedEx Home Delivery implemented a 4.9% average list price increase. The full average rate increase of 5.9% was partially offset by adjusting the fuel price threshold at which the fuel surcharge begins, reducing the fuel surcharge by one percentage point. FedEx Ground made additional changes to dimensional weight charges and surcharges, and FedEx SmartPost rates also increased.

FedEx Ground Segment Operating Income

FedEx Ground segment operating income increased 43% in the third quarter and 40% in the nine months of 2012 primarily due to increased revenue per package and volume growth. During the year, FedEx Ground continued to shorten transit times by accelerating various lanes throughout the U.S. and Canada, which has led to consistently high on-time service.

Purchased transportation costs increased 9% during the third quarter of 2012 and 11% in the nine months of 2012 primarily as a result of higher fuel costs and volume growth. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased 12% in the third quarter and 13% in the nine months of 2012 primarily due to increased staffing to support volume growth and higher incentive compensation accruals. Intercompany charges increased 11% in the third quarter and 9% in the nine months of 2012 primarily due to higher allocated information technology costs. Depreciation expense increased 21% in the third quarter and 16% in the nine months of 2012 due to technology and transportation equipment upgrades and an initiative to replace lighting fixtures throughout the network in order to reduce energy costs.

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 our classification and we believe our relationship with the contractors is generally excellent. For a description of these proceedings, see “Risk Factors” and Note 8 of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

- 36 -

FedEx Ground has made changes to its relationships with contractors 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 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. Based upon the success of this model, FedEx Ground may possibly transition to it in some other states in the future.

In addition, because of state-specific legal and regulatory issues, FedEx Ground only contracts with contractors 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 contractors that choose to grow their businesses by adding routes. During February 2012, approximately 80% of FedEx Ground’s package volume was delivered by multiple route owner-operators or independent service providers.

FedEx Freight Segment Revenues

FedEx Freight segment revenues increased 10% during the third quarter of 2012 and 8% in the nine months of 2012 as a result of higher LTL yield and weight per LTL shipment. Average daily LTL shipments increased 2% during the third quarter of 2012 reflecting sequential improvement during the quarter and favorable comparisons caused by severe winter weather in the prior year. However, LTL volumes decreased in the nine months of 2012 as a result of our ongoing yield management actions. LTL yield increased 6% during the third quarter of 2012 and 9% in the nine months of 2012 due to higher fuel surcharges and base yield improvement.

The indexed LTL fuel surcharge is based on the average of the national U.S. on-highway average prices for a gallon of diesel fuel, as published by the Department of Energy. The indexed LTL fuel surcharge ranged as follows for the periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011:

		September 30,			September 30,			September 30,			September 30,
	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended

FedEx Freight Segment Operating Income (Loss)

The FedEx Freight segment operating results for the third quarter and nine months of 2012 improved significantly as a result of higher fuel surcharges, yield growth and ongoing improvements in operational efficiencies. FedEx Freight segment 2011 results include costs associated with the combination of our FedEx Freight and FedEx National LTL operations and resulted in costs incurred of $43 million during the third quarter of 2011 and $130 million during the nine months of 2011. The FedEx Freight segment’s third quarter of 2012 results benefited from a milder winter, while third quarter 2011 results were negatively impacted by unusually severe winter weather. One additional operating day at FedEx Freight also contributed to earnings growth for the third quarter and nine months of 2012.

- 38 -

Purchased transportation costs increased 13% during the third quarter and 11% in the nine months of 2012 due to higher fuel costs and the increased utilization of rail. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased 15% in the nine months of 2012 primarily due to accelerated depreciation in 2011 associated with the combination of our LTL operations. Fuel costs increased 3% during the third quarter of 2012 and 15% in the nine months of 2012 due to a higher average price per gallon of diesel, partially offset by the increased utilization of rail. Additionally, the decrease in fuel consumption due to lower volume partially offset the fuel expense increase for the nine months of 2012. Based on a static analysis of the net impact of year-over-year changes in fuel prices compared to year-over-year changes in fuel surcharges, fuel had a positive impact on operating income in the third quarter and nine months of 2012.

Cash flows from operating activities increased $560 million in the nine months of 2012 primarily due to increased earnings partially offset by increases in pension contributions. We made contributions of $484 million in the third quarter of 2012 and $710 million in the nine months of 2012 to our tax-qualified U.S. domestic pension plans (“U.S. Pension Plans”). We made contributions of $380 million to our U.S. Pension Plans during the nine months of 2011. See “Capital Resources” for a discussion of capital expenditures during 2012 and 2011.

During the second quarter of 2012, we repurchased 2.8 million FedEx common shares at an average price of $70 per share for a total of $197 million. As of February 29, 2012, 2.9 million shares remained under existing share repurchase authorizations.

CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our operations are capital intensive, characterized by significant investments in aircraft, vehicles, technology, facilities, package-handling and sort equipment. The amount and timing of capital additions depend on various factors, including pre-existing contractual commitments, anticipated volume growth, domestic and international economic conditions, new or enhanced services, geographical expansion of services, availability of satisfactory financing and actions of regulatory authorities.

The following table compares capital expenditures by asset category and reportable segment for the periods ended February 29, 2012 and February 28, 2011 (in millions):

Total capital expenditures	$	729	$	643	$	2,946	$	2,703		13			9

Capital expenditures during the nine months of 2012 were higher than the prior-year period primarily due to increased spending for replacement vehicles at FedEx Express, FedEx Freight and FedEx Ground, partially offset by lower aircraft and related equipment spending at FedEx Express. Additionally, spending increased for technology investments at FedEx Services and network expansion at FedEx Ground. Aircraft and related equipment purchases at FedEx Express during the nine months of 2012 included the delivery of 11 Boeing 757s (“B757”) and five Boeing 777 Freighters (“B777Fs”).

In December 2011, FedEx Express entered into an agreement to acquire 27 new Boeing 767-300 Freighter (“B767F”) aircraft, with the first three arriving in 2014 followed by six per year from 2015 to 2018. The B767F was selected as the best choice to begin replacing FedEx Express’s MD10 aircraft, some of which are more than 40 years old. The B767Fs will provide similar capacity as the MD10s, with improved reliability, an approximate 30% increase in fuel efficiency and a minimum of a 20% reduction in unit operating costs. During the second quarter of 2012, FedEx Express delayed the delivery of two B777F aircraft from 2013, and in conjunction with the execution of the B767F aircraft purchase agreement, also delayed the delivery of nine B777F aircraft, five of which were deferred from 2014 and one per year from 2015 to 2018, to better align air network capacity to demand. FedEx Express also exercised two B777F options for aircraft to be delivered at the end of the delivery schedule.

LIQUIDITY OUTLOOK

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations and available financing sources are adequate to meet our liquidity needs, including working capital, capital expenditure requirements and debt payment obligations. Our cash and cash equivalents balance at February 29, 2012 includes $430 million of cash in offshore jurisdictions associated with our permanent reinvestment strategy. We do not believe that the indefinite reinvestment of these funds offshore impairs our ability to meet our domestic debt or working capital obligations. Although we expect higher capital expenditures in 2012, we anticipate that our cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund these expenditures. Historically, we have been successful in obtaining unsecured financing, from both domestic and international sources, although the marketplace for such investment capital can become restricted depending on a variety of economic factors.

- 40 -

Our capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $4.2 billion in 2012 and include spending for aircraft and related equipment at FedEx Express, technology investments at FedEx Services, network expansion at FedEx Ground and revenue equipment at the FedEx Freight segment. We invested $1.5 billion in aircraft and aircraft-related equipment in the nine months of 2012 and expect to invest approximately $475 million for aircraft and aircraft-related equipment during the remainder of 2012. Aircraft-related capital outlays include the B777Fs and the B757s, which are substantially more fuel-efficient per unit than the aircraft types they are replacing. These aircraft-related capital expenditures are necessary to achieve significant long-term operating savings and to support projected long-term international volume growth. Our ability to delay the timing of these aircraft-related expenditures is limited without incurring significant costs to modify existing purchase agreements.

We have a shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that allows us to sell, in one or more future offerings, any combination of our unsecured debt securities and common stock.

Our U.S. Pension Plans have ample funds to meet expected benefit payments. As noted above, we made tax-deductible contributions of $484 million in the third quarter of 2012 and $710 million in the nine months of 2012 to our U.S. Pension Plans.

Standard & Poor’s has assigned us a senior unsecured debt credit rating of BBB, a commercial paper rating of A-2 and a ratings outlook of “stable.” During the third quarter of 2012, Moody’s Investors Service raised our senior unsecured debt credit rating to Baa1 from Baa2 and affirmed a commercial paper rating of P-2 and a ratings outlook of “stable.” If our credit ratings drop, our interest expense may increase. If our commercial paper ratings drop below current levels, we may have difficulty utilizing the commercial paper market. If our senior unsecured debt credit ratings drop below investment grade, our access to financing may become limited.

CONTRACTUAL CASH OBLIGATIONS AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The following table sets forth a summary of our contractual cash obligations as of February 29, 2012. Certain of these contractual obligations are reflected in our balance sheet, while others are disclosed as future obligations under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Except for the current portion of long-term debt and capital lease obligations, this table does not include amounts already recorded in our balance sheet as current liabilities at February 29, 2012. We have certain contingent liabilities that are not accrued in our balance sheet in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These contingent liabilities are not included in the table below. We have other long-term liabilities reflected in our balance sheet, including deferred income taxes, qualified and nonqualified pension and postretirement healthcare plan liabilities and other self-insurance

- 41 -

accruals. The payment obligations associated with these liabilities are not reflected in the table below due to the absence of scheduled maturities. Accordingly, this table is not meant to represent a forecast of our total cash expenditures for any of the periods presented.

Open purchase orders that are cancelable are not considered unconditional purchase obligations for financial reporting purposes and are not included in the table above. Such purchase orders often represent authorizations to purchase rather than binding agreements. See Note 7 of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

Operating Activities

The amounts reflected in the table above for operating leases represent future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases (principally aircraft and facilities) with an initial or remaining term in excess of one year at February 29, 2012.

Included in the table above within the caption entitled “Non-capital purchase obligations and other” is our estimate of the current portion of the liability ($1 million) for uncertain tax positions and amounts for purchase obligations that represent noncancelable agreements to purchase goods or services that are not capital related. Such contracts include those for printing and advertising and promotions contracts. We cannot reasonably estimate the timing of the long-term payments or the amount by which the liability for uncertain tax positions will increase or decrease over time; therefore, the long-term portion of the liability for uncertain tax positions ($81 million) is excluded from the table.

The amounts reflected in the table above for interest on long-term debt represent future interest payments due on our long-term debt, all of which are fixed rate.

FedEx Express had $734 million in deposits and progress payments as of February 29, 2012 on aircraft purchases and other planned aircraft-related transactions.

Investing Activities

The amounts reflected in the table above for capital purchase obligations represent noncancelable agreements to purchase capital-related equipment. Such contracts include those for certain purchases of aircraft, aircraft modifications, vehicles, facilities, computers and other equipment.

- 42 -

Financing Activities

The amounts reflected in the table above for long-term debt represent future scheduled payments on our long-term debt. We have a scheduled debt payment of $300 million for principal payment on our 9.65% unsecured notes maturing in June 2012.

Additional information on amounts included within the operating, investing and financing activities captions in the table above can be found in our Annual Report.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make significant judgments and estimates to develop amounts reflected and disclosed in the financial statements. In many cases, there are alternative policies or estimation techniques that could be used. We maintain a thorough process to review the application of our accounting policies and to evaluate the appropriateness of the many estimates that are required to prepare the financial statements of a complex, global corporation. However, even under optimal circumstances, estimates routinely require adjustment based on changing circumstances and new or better information.

GOODWILL. Goodwill is reviewed at least annually for impairment by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying value (including attributable goodwill). Fair value for our reporting units is determined by incorporating market participant considerations and management’s assumptions on revenue growth rates, operating margins, expected capital expenditures and discount rates. Goodwill is tested for impairment between annual tests whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit has fallen below its carrying value. We do not believe there has been any change of events or circumstances that would indicate that a reevaluation of the goodwill of our reporting units is required as of February 29, 2012, nor do we believe the goodwill of our reporting units is at risk of failing impairment testing.

Information regarding our critical accounting estimates can be found in our Annual Report, including Note 1 to the financial statements therein. Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors and with our independent registered public accounting firm.

the impact of intense competition on our ability to maintain or increase our prices (including our fuel surcharges in response to rising fuel costs) or to maintain or grow our market share;

•

our ability to maintain good relationships with our employees and prevent attempts by labor organizations to organize groups of our employees, which could significantly increase our operating costs and reduce our operational flexibility;

•

our ability to effectively operate, integrate, leverage and grow acquired businesses, and to continue to support the value we allocate to these acquired businesses, including their goodwill;

•

the impact of costs related to (i) challenges to the status of FedEx Ground’s owner-operators as independent contractors, rather than employees, and (ii) any related changes to our relationship with these owner-operators;

•

any impacts on our businesses resulting from new domestic or international government laws and regulation, including regulatory actions affecting global aviation rights, increased air cargo and other security or pilot safety requirements, and tax, accounting, trade (such as protectionist measures enacted in response to weak economic conditions), labor (such as card-check legislation, hours of service regulations or changes to the Railway Labor Act affecting FedEx Express employees), environmental (such as global climate change legislation) or postal rules;

•

adverse weather conditions or localized natural disasters in key geographic areas, such as earthquakes, volcanoes, and hurricanes, which can disrupt our electrical service, damage our property, disrupt our operations, increase our fuel costs and adversely affect our shipment levels;

•

increasing costs, the volatility of costs and funding requirements and other legal mandates for employee benefits, especially pension and healthcare benefits;

•

the impact of any international conflicts or terrorist activities on the United States and global economies in general, the transportation industry or us in particular, and what effects these events will have on our costs or the demand for our services;

•

changes in foreign currency exchange rates, especially in the euro, Japanese yen, Chinese yuan, Canadian dollar, Swiss Franc and British pound, which can affect our sales levels and foreign currency sales prices;

•

market acceptance of our new service and growth initiatives;

•

any liability resulting from and the costs of defending against class-action litigation, such as wage-and-hour and discrimination and retaliation claims, and any other legal proceedings;

•

the outcome of future negotiations to reach new collective bargaining agreements — including with the union that represents the pilots of FedEx Express (the current pilot contract is scheduled to become amendable in March 2013);

•

any impact on our business from disruptions or modifications in service by the USPS, which is a significant customer and vendor of FedEx, as a consequence of the USPS’s current financial difficulties or any resulting structural changes to its operations, network, service offerings or pricing;

- 44 -

•

the impact of technology developments on our operations and on demand for our services, and our ability to continue to identify and eliminate unnecessary information technology redundancy and complexity throughout the organization;

•

widespread outbreak of an illness or any other communicable disease, or any other public health crisis;

•

availability of financing on terms acceptable to us and our ability to maintain our current credit ratings, especially given the capital intensity of our operations;

•

significant changes in the volumes of shipments transported through our networks, customer demand for our various services or the prices we obtain for our services; and

•

other risks and uncertainties you can find in our press releases and SEC filings, including the risk factors identified under the heading “Risk Factors” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition” in our Annual Report, as updated by our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.

As a result of these and other factors, no assurance can be given as to our future results and achievements. Accordingly, a forward-looking statement is neither a prediction nor a guarantee of future events or circumstances, and those future events or circumstances may not occur. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. We undertake no obligation to update or alter any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

As of February 29, 2012, there had been no material changes in our market risk sensitive instruments and positions since our disclosures in our Annual Report.

The principal foreign currency exchange rate risks to which we are exposed are in the euro, Japanese yen, Chinese yuan, Canadian dollar, Swiss Franc and British pound. Historically, our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is more significant with respect to our revenues than our expenses as a significant portion of our expenses are denominated in U.S. dollars, such as aircraft and fuel expenses. During the first nine months of 2012, the U.S. dollar strengthened relative to the currencies of the foreign countries in which we operate, as compared to May 31, 2011; however, this strengthening did not have a material effect on our results.

While we have market risk for changes in the price of jet and vehicle fuel, this risk is largely mitigated by our variable fuel surcharges. However, our fuel surcharges for FedEx Express and FedEx Ground have a timing lag of approximately six to eight weeks before they are adjusted for changes in fuel prices. Our fuel surcharge index also allows fuel prices to fluctuate approximately 2% for FedEx Express and approximately 4% for FedEx Ground before an adjustment to the fuel surcharge occurs. Therefore, our operating income may be affected should the spot price of fuel suddenly change by a significant amount or change by amounts that do not result in an adjustment in our fuel surcharges.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The management of FedEx, with the participation of our principal executive and financial officers, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to FedEx management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive and financial officers have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of February 29, 2012 (the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

During our fiscal quarter ended February 29, 2012, no change occurred in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

For a description of all material pending legal proceedings, see Note 8 of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2011, we received a demand for production of information and documents in connection with a civil investigation by the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice into the policies and practices of FedEx and United Parcel Service, Inc. for dealing with third-party consultants who work with shipping customers to negotiate lower rates. Related antitrust litigation with one of these third-party consultants was dismissed in late May 2011, but the court granted the plaintiff permission to file an amended complaint, which FedEx received in late June 2011. In November 2011, the court granted our motion to dismiss this complaint, but again allowed the plaintiff to file an amended complaint. The plaintiff filed a new complaint on December 12, 2011.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

With the exception of the inclusion in “Forward-Looking Statements” of a risk factor relating to our relationship, as a significant customer and vendor, with the USPS, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report (under the heading “Risk Factors” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition”) in response to Part I, Item 1A of Form 10-K.
