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 accountingprinciples generally accepted in the United States and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) instructions for interim financial information, and should be read in conjunction withour Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2017 (“Annual Report”). Accordingly, significant accounting policies and other disclosures normally provided have beenomitted 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 topresent fairly our financial position as of November 30, 2017, the results of our operations for the three- and six-month periods ended November 30, 2017 and 2016, and cash flows for thesix-month periods ended November 30, 2017 and 2016. Operating results for the three- and six-month periods ended November 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results thatmay be expected for the year ending May 31, 2018.
Except as otherwise specified, references to years indicate our fiscal year ending May 31, 2018 or ended May 31 of the year referenced and comparisons are to the corresponding period ofthe prior year. BUSINESS ACQUISITION. On October 13, 2017, FedEx acquired Northwest Research, Inc., a leader in inventory research and management, for $50 million in cash from operations. Themajority of the purchase price was allocated to property, plant and equipment. The financial results of this acquired business are included in the FedEx Corporate Services, Inc. (“FedExServices”) segment from the date of acquisition and were not material to our results of operations. Therefore, pro forma financial information has not been provided.
EMPLOYEES UNDER COLLECTIVE BARGAINING ARRANGEMENTS. The pilots of Federal Express Corporation (“FedEx Express”), who represent a small number of its totalemployees, are employed under a collective bargaining agreement that took effect on November 2, 2015. This collective bargaining agreement is scheduled to become amendable inNovember 2021, after a six-year term. In addition to our pilots at FedEx Express, FedEx Supply Chain Distribution System, Inc. (“FedEx Supply Chain”) has a small number of employeeswho are members of unions, and certain 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 awardsgranted 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 $41 million for the three-month period ended November 30, 2017 and $103 million for the six-month period ended November 30, 2017. Ourstock-based compensation expense was $36 million for the three-month period ended November 30, 2016 and $93 million for the six-month period ended November 30, 2016. Due to itsimmateriality, additional disclosures related to stock-based compensation have been excluded from this quarterly report.
RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE. New accounting rules and disclosure requirements can significantly impact our reported results and the comparability of our financial statements.We believe the following new accounting guidance is relevant to the readers of our financial statements.
During the first quarter of 2018, we early adopted the Accounting Standards Update issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) related to Intra-Entity Transfers ofAssets Other Than Inventory. This update requires companies to recognize the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory when the transfer occurs, asopposed to when the assets are ultimately sold to an outside party. This new guidance had a minimal impact on our accounting and financial reporting for the second quarter and first half of2018.
- 8 -
On May 28, 2014, the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board issued a new accounting standard that will supersede virtually all existing revenue recognition guidance undergenerally accepted accounting principles in the United States. This standard will be effective for us beginning June 1, 2018 (fis cal 2019). The fundamental principles of the new guidanceare that companies should recognize revenue in a manner that reflects the timing of the transfer of services to customers and the amount of revenue recognized reflects the considerationthat a compa ny expects to receive for the goods and services provided. The new guidance establishes a five-step approach for the recognition of revenue. We are continuing to completethe assessment of the impact this new standard will have on our consolidated financia l statements and related disclosures, including ongoing contract reviews. We do not anticipate that thenew guidance will have a material impact on our revenue recognition policies, practices or systems.
On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued a new lease accounting standard which requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets but recognize the expenses in their incomestatements in a manner similar to current practice. The new standard states that a lessee will recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset forthe right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. Expenses related to leases determined to be operating leases will be recognized on a straight-line basis, while those determined to befinancing leases will be recognized following a front-loaded expense profile in which interest and amortization are presented separately in the income statement. Based on our leaseportfolio, we currently anticipate recognizing a lease liability and related right-of-use asset on the balance sheet in excess of $13 billion with an immaterial impact on our income statementcompared to the current lease accounting model. However, the ultimate impact of the standard will depend on the company’s lease portfolio as of the adoption date. We are currently in theprocess of evaluating our existing lease portfolios, including accumulating all of the necessary information required to properly account for the leases under the new standard. Additionally,we are implementing an enterprise-wide lease management system to assist in the accounting and are evaluating additional changes to our processes and internal controls to ensure we meetthe standard’s reporting and disclosure requirements. These changes will be effective for our fiscal year beginning June 1, 2019 (fiscal 2020), with a modified retrospective adoptionmethod to the beginning of 2018.
In March 2017, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update that changes how employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement benefit plans present the netperiodic benefit cost in the income statement. This new guidance requires entities to report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs. The othercomponents of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component outside of income from operations. This standard willimpact our operating income but will have no impact on our net income or earnings per share. For example, adoption of this guidance would have reduced operating income by $146million in the second quarter and $292 million in the first half of 2018, and by $112 million in the second quarter and $224 million in the first half of 2017, but would not have impactedour net income in these periods. This new guidance will be effective for our fiscal year beginning June 1, 2018 (fiscal 2019) and will be applied retrospectively.
TREASURY SHARES. In January 2016, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to 25 million shares. Shares under the current repurchase program may berepurchased from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and volume of repurchases are at the discretion of management, based on the capitalneeds of the business, the market price of FedEx common stock and general market conditions. No time limit was set for the completion of the program, and the program may be suspendedor discontinued at any time.
During the second quarter of 2018, we repurchased 0.8 million shares of FedEx common stock at an average price of $220.67 per share for a total of $184 million. During the first half of2018, we repurchased 1.2 million shares of FedEx common stock at an average price of $216.45 per share for a total of $270 million. As of November 30, 2017, 14.8 million sharesremained under the share repurchase authorization.
DIVIDENDS DECLARED PER COMMON SHARE. On November 17, 2017, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.50 per share of common stock. The dividend willbe paid on January 2, 2018 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 11, 2017. Each quarterly dividend payment is subject to review and approval by our Board ofDirectors, and we evaluate our dividend payment amount on an annual basis at the end of each fiscal year.

(3) Financing Arrangements
We have a shelf registration statement with the SEC that allows us to sell, in one or more future offerings, any combination of our unsecured debt securities and common stock.
We have a five-year $1.75 billion revolving credit facility that expires in November 2020. The facility, which includes a $500 million letter of credit sublimit, is available to finance ouroperations and other cash flow needs. The agreement contains a financial covenant, which requires us to maintain a ratio of debt to consolidated earnings (excluding non-cash pensionmark-to-market adjustments and non-cash asset impairment charges) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“adjusted EBITDA”) of not more than 3.5 to 1.0, calculated as ofthe end of the applicable quarter on a rolling four-quarters basis. The ratio of our debt to adjusted EBITDA was 1.9 to 1.0 at November 30, 2017. We believe this covenant is the onlysignificant 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 financial covenant and all other covenants of our revolving credit agreement and do not expect the covenantsto affect our operations, including our liquidity or expected funding needs.
During the second quarter of 2018, we issued $250 million of commercial paper, providing us with additional short-term liquidity flexibility. Our commercial paper program is backed byunused commitments under the revolving credit facility and borrowings under the program reduce the amount available under the credit facility. As of November 30, 2017, $250 million ofcommercial paper and $255 million in letters of credit were outstanding, leaving $1.245 billion available under the revolving credit facility for future borrowings.
Long-term debt, exclusive of capital leases, had carrying values of $15.1 billion at November 30, 2017 and $14.9 billion at May 31, 2017, compared with estimated fair values of$15.9 billion at November 30, 2017 and $15.5 billion at May 31, 2017. The annualized weighted average interest rate on long-term debt was 3.6% for the six-months ended November 30,2017. The estimated fair values were determined based on quoted market prices and the current rates offered for debt with similar terms and maturities. The fair value of our long-term debtis classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. This classification is defined as a fair value determined using market-based inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for theliability, either directly or indirectly.

Within the FedEx Services segment allocation,the net operating results of FedEx Office, which are an immaterial component of our allocations, are allocated to FedEx Express and FedEx Ground. We review and evaluate theperformance of our transportation segments based on operating income (inclusive of FedEx Services segment allocations). For the FedEx Services segment, performance is evaluated basedon the impact of its total allocated net operating costs on our transportation segments.
Operating expenses for each of our transportation segments include the allocations from the FedEx Services segment to the respective transportation segments. These allocations alsoinclude charges and credits for administrative services provided between operating companies. The allocations of net operating costs are based on metrics such as relative revenues orestimated services provided. We believe these allocations approximate the net cost of providing these functions. Our allocation methodologies are refined periodically, as necessary, toreflect changes in our businesses.
Eliminations, Corporate and Other
Certain FedEx operating companies provide transportation and related services for other FedEx companies outside their reportable segment. Billings for such services are based onnegotiated 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. Suchintersegment 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.
Corporate and other includes corporate headquarters costs for executive officers and certain legal and financial functions, as well as certain other costs and credits not attributed to our corebusiness. These costs are not allocated to the business segments.

The amounts reflected in the table above for purchase commitments represent noncancelable agreements to purchase goods or services. As of November 30, 2017, our obligation topurchase four Boeing 767-300 Freighter (“B767F”) aircraft and six Boeing 777 Freighter (“B777F”) aircraft is conditioned upon there being no event that causes FedEx Express or itsemployees not to be covered by the Railway Labor Act of 1926, as amended. Open purchase orders that are cancelable are not considered unconditional purchase obligations for financialreporting purposes and are not included in the table above.
During the second quarter of 2018, FedEx Express entered into an agreement to purchase 50 Cessna SkyCourier 408 aircraft with options to purchase up to 50 additional CessnaSkyCourier 408 aircraft. The 50 firm-order Cessna SkyCourier 408 aircraft are expected to be delivered from fiscal 2021 through 2024.

Future minimum lease payments under capital leases were immaterial at November 30, 2017. While certain of our lease agreements contain covenants governing the use of the leased assetsor require us to maintain certain levels of insurance, none of our lease agreements include material financial covenants or limitations.
(8) Contingencies
Independent Contractor — Lawsuits and Administrative Proceedings. During the second quarter of 2018, the final objector to the $228 million settlement in the case that was remanded bythe multidistrict litigation court to California and appealed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals settled with plaintiffs’ counsel and FedEx Ground paid the settlement amount. FedEx Ground is involved in lawsuits and administrative proceedings claiming that owner-operators engaged under a contractor model no longer in use should have been treated asemployees of FedEx Ground, rather than independent contractors. In addition, we are defending joint-employer cases where it is alleged that FedEx Ground should be treated as anemployer of the drivers employed by owner-operators engaged by FedEx Ground. These cases are in varying stages of litigation, and we are not currently able to estimate an amount orrange of potential loss in all of these matters. However, we do not expect to incur, individually or in the aggregate, a material loss in these matters. Nevertheless, adverse determinations inmatters related to owner-operators engaged by FedEx Ground could, among other things, entitle certain owner-operators to the reimbursement of certain expenses, and their drivers to thebenefit of wage-and-hour laws, and result in employment and withholding tax and benefit liability for FedEx Ground. We believe that owner-operators engaged by FedEx Ground areproperly classified as independent contractors and that FedEx Ground is not an employer of the drivers employed by these owner-operators.

City and State of New York Cigarette Suit. The City of New York and the State of New Yor k filed two related lawsuits against FedEx Ground in December 2013 and November 2014arising from FedEx Ground’s alleged shipments of cigarettes to New York residents in contravention of several statutes, including the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Orga nizations Act(“RICO”) and New York’s Public Health Law, as well as common law nuisance claims. In April 2016, the two lawsuits were consolidated and will now proceed as one lawsuit. The first-filed lawsuit alleges that FedEx Ground provided delivery servi ces on behalf of four shippers, and the second-filed lawsuit alleges that FedEx Ground provided delivery services on behalfof six additional shippers; none of these shippers continue to ship in our network. Following motions to dismiss filed in both lawsu its, some of the claims were dismissed entirely orlimited. In the first-filed lawsuit, the New York Public Health Law and common law nuisance claims were dismissed and the plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed another claim. In the second-filed lawsuit, the co mmon law nuisance claim was dismissed entirely and the New York Public Health Law claim has been limited to claims arising after September 27, 2013, when anamendment to that law provided enforcement authority to the City of New York and State of New York. Other claims, including the RICO claims, remain in both lawsuits. The likelihoodof loss is reasonably possible, but the amount or range of loss, if any, cannot be estimated at this stage of the litigation, but we expect the amount of any loss to be immat erial. On July 10, 2017, the City of New York and the State of New York filed a third lawsuit against FedEx Ground and included FedEx Freight as a co-defendant. This new case identifies noshippers or shipments, but generally alleges violations of the same laws that are the subject of the other two lawsuits. The amount or range of loss, if any, cannot be estimated at this stageof the lawsuit. Environmental Matters . SEC regulations require disclosure of certain environmental matters when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings and the proceedings involvepotential monetary sanctions that management reasonably believes could exceed $100,000. On September 9, 2016, FedEx Supply Chain received a written offer from several District Attorneys’ Offices in California to settle a civil action that the District Attorneys intend to fileagainst FedEx Supply Chain for alleged violations of the state’s hazardous waste regulations. Specifically, the District Attorneys’ Offices allege FedEx Supply Chain unlawfully disposedof hazardous waste at one of its California facilities and caused the illegal transportation and disposal of hazardous waste from the retail stores of a FedEx Supply Chain customer at thissame facility. The District Attorneys allege these violations began in 2006 and continued until the facility closed in the spring of 2015. We believe an immaterial loss in this matter isprobable, and we will pursue all available remedies against the sellers of GENCO to recover any losses in this matter. Other Matters. During the third quarter of 2017, FedEx Trade Networks informed U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) that in connection with certain customs entries it may havemade improper claims for (i) reduced-duty treatment and (ii) duty-free treatment. In the fourth quarter of 2017 we established accruals totaling $39.3 million for the then-current estimatedprobable loss for these matters. In the first quarter of 2018, FedEx Trade Networks tendered payments to CBP in these matters totaling $46.5 million, and an additional expense of $7.2million was recognized. CBP acknowledged receipt of the amounts tendered in these matters, and we are awaiting a response indicating whether these matters are fully resolved. FedEx and its subsidiaries are subject to other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business, including certain lawsuits containing various class-action allegations of wage-and-hour violations in which plaintiffs claim, 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.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 orcash flows.

(10) Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements
We are required to present condensed consolidating financial information in order for the subsidiary guarantors of our public debt to continue to be exempt from reporting under theSecurities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The guarantor subsidiaries, which are 100% owned by FedEx, guarantee $15.0 billion of our long-term debt. The guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several. Our guarantorsubsidiaries were not determined using geographic, service line or other similar criteria, and as a result, the “Guarantor Subsidiaries” and “Non-guarantor Subsidiaries” columns eachinclude 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 flowsfor any purpose other than to comply with the specific requirements for subsidiary guarantor reporting.

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of FedEx Corporation as of November 30, 2017, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income andcomprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended November 30, 2017 and November 30, 2016 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended November 30, 2017 and November 30, 2016. 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 consistsprincipally 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 inaccordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statementstaken 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 conformitywith 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 asof May 31, 2017, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ investment, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presentedherein) and we expressed an unqualified audit opinion on those consolidated financial statements in our report dated July 17, 2017. In our opinion, the accompanying condensedconsolidated balance sheet of FedEx Corporation as of May 31, 2017, 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 theaccompanying quarterly unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2017 (“Annual Report”). Our AnnualReport 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 mostsignificant 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, underthe respected FedEx brand. Our primary operating companies are Federal Express Corporation (“FedEx Express”), including TNT Express B.V. (“TNT Express”), the world’s largestexpress transportation company; FedEx Ground Package System, Inc. (“FedEx Ground”), a leading North American provider of small-package ground delivery services; and FedExFreight, 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 FedExCorporate Services, Inc. (“FedEx Services”), form the core of our reportable segments.
As noted in our Annual Report, beginning in the first quarter of 2018, we began to report TNT Express as part of the FedEx Express segment. Prior year amounts have been revised toconform to the current year presentation. See Note 6 of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
Our FedEx Services segment provides sales, marketing, information technology, communications, customer service, technical support, billing and collection services and certain back-office support functions that support our transportation segments. In addition, the FedEx Services segment provides customers with retail access to FedEx Express and FedEx Groundshipping services through FedEx Office and Print Services, Inc. (“FedEx Office”). See “Reportable Segments” for further discussion. Additional information on our businesses can also befound in our Annual Report.
The key indicators necessary to understand our operating results include:
• the overall customer demand for our various services based on macro-economic factors and the global economy;
• the volumes of transportation services provided through our networks, primarily measured by our average daily volume and shipment weight and size;
• 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 shipment or hundredweight for LTL freight shipments);
• our ability to manage our network capacity and 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 basisconsistent 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 inrevenues and volume. The line item “Other operating expenses” predominantly includes costs associated with outside service contracts (such as security, facility services and cargohandling), insurance, professional fees, uniforms and taxes and licenses.
Except as otherwise specified, references to years indicate our fiscal year ending May 31, 2018 or ended May 31 of the year referenced and comparisons are to the corresponding period ofthe prior year. References to our transportation segments include, collectively, the FedEx Express segment, the FedEx Ground segment and the FedEx Freight segment.

Overview
Our results improved in the second quarter of 2018 primarily due to increased yields, volume growth and the favorable net impact of fuel at all of our transportation segments. These factorswere partially offset by the continued impact of the NotPetya cyberattack described below. The cyberattack also drove declining results in the first half of 2018, which were partially offsetby the same positive factors noted above.
Our results were negatively impacted by the NotPetya cyberattack by an estimated $100 million or $0.31 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2018 and by an estimated $400 millionor $1.10 per diluted share in the first half of 2018, primarily from loss of revenue due to decreased shipments in the TNT Express network, as well as incremental costs to restoreinformation technology systems.
As previously announced, on June 27, 2017, the worldwide operations of TNT Express were significantly affected by the cyberattack known as NotPetya. Immediately following the attack,contingency plans were implemented to recover TNT Express operations and communications systems, and substantially all TNT Express services were fully restored during the firstquarter of 2018. All of TNT Express’s critical operational systems have now been fully restored, critical business data has been recovered and shipping services and solutions are back inplace. However, not all customers are shipping at pre-attack volume levels. For a description of the ongoing impact of the cyberattack, see the discussion under the heading “Outlook”below.

We also incurred TNT Express integration expenses totaling an aggregate of $122 million ($91 million, net of tax, or $0.33 per dilu ted share) in the second quarter of 2018, a $64 millionincrease from the second quarter of 2017. TNT Express integration expenses were an aggregate $234 million ($173 million, net of tax, or $0.64 per diluted share) in the first half of 2018, a$108 milli on increase from the first half of 2017. The integration expenses are incremental costs directly associated with the integration of TNT Express, including professional and legalfees, salaries and wages, advertising expenses and travel. Internal salaries a nd wages are included only to the extent the individuals are assigned full time to integration activities. Thesecosts were incurred at FedEx Express and FedEx Corporation. The identification of these costs as integration-related expenditures is subject to our disclosure controls and procedures.
In addition, our results include a tax benefit of approximately $80 million ($0.29 per diluted share) in the second quarter of 2018 attributable to foreign tax credits associated with adividend paid from our foreign operations.

Revenue
Revenues increased 9% in the second quarter and 7% in the first half of 2018 due to improved performance at all of our transportation segments. Revenues at FedEx Express increased 8%in the second quarter and 5% in the first half of 2018 due to improved base yields, volume growth and favorable exchange rates, which were partially offset by the loss of volume due to theNotPetya cyberattack. At FedEx Ground, revenues increased 12% in the second quarter and 10% in the first half of 2018 due to volume growth and increased yields. FedEx Freightrevenues increased 10% in the second quarter and 8% in the first half of 2018 due to higher LTL revenue per shipment and average daily LTL shipments. Higher fuel surcharges had apositive impact on revenues at all of our transportation segments in the second quarter and first half of 2018.

Operating Expenses
The following tables compare operating expenses expressed as dollar amounts (in millions) and as a percent of revenue for the periods ended November 30:
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended 2017 2016 2017 2016
Operating expenses: Salaries and employee benefits $ 5,742 $ 5,353 $ 11,260 $ 10,664 Purchased transportation 3,840 3,431 7,285 6,671 Rentals and landing fees 835 802 1,653 1,592 Depreciation and amortization 756 740 1,507 1,479 Fuel 818 658 1,521 1,308 Maintenance and repairs 665 579 1,340 1,177 Other 2,395 2,201 4,665 4,272

Purchased transportation costs increased 12% in the second quarter and 9% in the first half of 2018 primarily due to higher volumes at all of our transportation segments, higher rates atFedEx Ground and unfavorable exchange rates at FedEx Express. Salaries and employee benefits expense increased 7% in the second quarter and 6% in the first half of 2018 primarily dueto volume growth and merit increases at our transportation segments. Other expenses increased 9% in the second quarter and first half of 2018 primarily due to TNT Express integrationexpenses at FedEx Express and higher self-insurance reserves at FedEx Ground. Maintenance and repairs expense increased 15% in the second quarter and 14% in the first half of 2018primarily due to the timing of aircraft maintenance events at FedEx Express.
- 32 -
Fuel
The following graph for our transportation segments shows our average cost of jet and vehicle fuel per gallon for the five most recent quarters:
Fuel expense increased 24% in the second quarter and 16% in the first half of 2018 primarily due to increased fuel prices. Fuel prices represent only one component of the two factors weconsider meaningful in understanding the impact of fuel on our business. Consideration must also be given to the fuel surcharge revenue we collect. Accordingly, we believe discussion ofthe net impact of fuel on our results, which is a comparison of the year-over-year change in these two factors, is important to understand the impact of fuel on our business. In order toprovide information about the impact of fuel surcharges on the trend in revenue and yield growth, we have included the comparative weighted-average fuel surcharge percentages in effectfor the second quarter of 2018 and 2017 in the accompanying discussions of each of our transportation segments.
Effective February 6, 2017, FedEx Express and FedEx Ground fuel surcharges are adjusted on a weekly basis. The fuel surcharge is based on a weekly fuel price from two weeks prior tothe week in which it is assessed. The index used to determine the fuel surcharge percentage for our FedEx Freight business continues to adjust weekly. Some FedEx Express internationalfuel surcharges continue to incorporate a timing lag of approximately six to eight weeks.
Prior to February 6, 2017, our fuel surcharges for the FedEx Express and FedEx Ground businesses incorporated a timing lag of approximately six to eight weeks before they were adjustedfor changes in fuel prices. For example, the fuel surcharge index in effect at FedEx Express in January 2017 was set based on November 2016 fuel prices.
Beyond these factors, the manner in which we purchase fuel also influences the net impact of fuel on our results. For example, our contracts for jet fuel purchases at FedEx Express are tiedto various indices, including the U.S. Gulf Coast index. While many of these indices are aligned, each index may fluctuate at a different pace, driving variability in the prices paid for jetfuel. Furthermore, under these contractual arrangements, approximately 70% of our jet fuel is purchased based on the index price for the preceding week, with the remainder of ourpurchases tied to the index price for the preceding month, rather than based on daily spot rates. These contractual provisions mitigate the impact of rapidly changing daily spot rates on ourjet fuel purchases.
Because of the factors described above, our operating results may be affected should the market price of fuel suddenly change by a significant amount or change by amounts that do notresult in an adjustment in our fuel surcharges, which can significantly affect our earnings either positively or negatively in the short-term.
The net impact of fuel had a significant benefit to operating income in the second quarter and first half of 2018 as higher fuel surcharges more than offset increased fuel prices.
The net impact of fuel on our operating results does not consider the effects that fuel surcharge levels may have on our business, including changes in demand and shifts in the mix ofservices purchased by our customers. While fluctuations in fuel surcharge percentages can be significant from period to period, fuel surcharges represent one of the many individualcomponents 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 obtainfor these services and the level of pricing discounts offered.
- 33 -
Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate was 32.0% for the second quarter and 35.4% for the first half of 2018, compared with 35.1% in the second quarter and 36.3% for the first half of 2017. The 2018effective tax rate benefited from foreign tax credits associated with a dividend paid from our foreign operations. We recognized approximately $80 million of this benefit in the secondquarter and the full-year benefit from this dividend will be considered in our annual effective tax rate for 2018. These benefits were partially offset by the effect of the cyberattack onlower-taxed foreign earnings, changes in uncertain tax positions and tax costs incurred in the first quarter of 2018 in connection with the integration of TNT Express. For a description ofpending U.S. tax legislation, see the “Outlook” section below.
We are subject to taxation in the United States and various U.S. state, local and foreign jurisdictions. We are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for the 2014 and2015 tax years. It is reasonably possible that certain income tax return proceedings will be completed during the next twelve months and could result in a change in our balance ofunrecognized tax benefits. The expected impact of any changes would not be material to our consolidated financial statements. As of November 30, 2017, there were no material changes toour liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits from May 31, 2017.
Business Acquisition
On October 13, 2017, FedEx acquired Northwest Research, Inc., a leader in inventory research and management, for $50 million in cash from operations. The majority of the purchaseprice was allocated to property, plant and equipment. The financial results of this acquired business are included in the FedEx Services segment from the date of acquisition and were notmaterial to our results of operations.
Outlook
We expect yield and volume growth at all of our transportation segments to support revenue and earnings growth in the second half of 2018, prior to any mark-to-market benefit plansadjustment. In addition, we are implementing various cost reduction plans at FedEx Ground for the remainder of 2018. We expect ongoing, but diminishing, financial impacts from thecyberattack in the second half of 2018 in the form of lower revenues. However, we are highly focused on improving TNT Express revenues and volumes. Consequences and risksassociated with the ongoing impact of the cyberattack that could negatively impact results of operations and financial condition in the future, particularly if our continuing recovery effortsdo not proceed as expected, are described in Part II, Item 1A Risk Factors of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, our third quarter and full-year 2018 results will be negativelyaffected by our TNT Express integration activities.
Our expectations for earnings growth in 2018 assumes moderate economic growth and continued recovery from the cyberattack.
During the remainder of 2018, we will continue to execute our TNT Express integration plans. The integration process is complex as it spans over 200 countries and involves combiningour pickup and delivery operations at a local level, our global and regional air and ground networks, and our extensive operations, customs clearance, sales and back-office informationtechnology systems. The integration is expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2020. We are targeting operating income improvement at the FedEx Express segment of $1.2billion to $1.5 billion in 2020 from 2017 assuming moderate economic growth, current accounting rules and U.S. tax laws and continued recovery from the NotPetya cyberattack. Thistarget includes TNT Express synergies, as well as base business and other operational improvements across the global FedEx Express network.
We expect the aggregate integration program expense, including restructuring charges at TNT Express, over the four years to be up to $1.4 billion and expect to incur approximately $450million of these costs during 2018. Our expected integration expenses have increased from our previous estimates of $350 million for 2018 and $800 million in total based on our decisionto accelerate the integration process and to increase investments to move TNT Express information technology, operations and commercial infrastructure to FedEx infrastructure due to therecent cyberattack at TNT Express. In addition, we have identified opportunities to improve the capabilities of the integrated business for future profitability, including in periods beyond2020. Further, a portion of the incremental integration expenses relate to the ongoing establishment of our new international corporate structure which will leverage synergies to maximizeour international profitability, ultimately benefiting our effective tax rate. The timing and amount of integration expenses and capital investments in any future period may change as weimplement our plans.
As of the date of this filing, Congress has passed and the President is expected to sign the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 into law. If enacted, we estimate a tax benefit between $1.2 billionand $1.5 billion for 2018, primarily due to the revaluation of our net deferred tax liabilities as well as a lower tax rate on 2018 earnings.

Other Outlook Matters. For details on key 2018 capital projects, refer to the “Liquidity Outlook” section of this MD&A.
FedEx Ground previously announced plans to implement the Independent Service Provider (“ISP”) model throughout its entire U.S. pickup and delivery network, including the 29 statesthat had not yet begun transitioning to the ISP model. The transition to the ISP model in these 29 states is being accomplished on a district-by-district basis and is expected to be completedin the second half of calendar 2020. As of November 30, 2017, 64% of FedEx Ground volume was being delivered by small businesses operating under the ISP model. The costs associatedwith these transitions will be recognized in the periods incurred and are not expected to be material to any future quarter.
See “Forward-Looking Statements” for a discussion of these and other potential risks and uncertainties that could materially affect our future performance.
RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE
New accounting rules and disclosure requirements can significantly impact our reported results and the comparability of our financial statements. We believe the following new accountingguidance is relevant to the readers of our financial statements.
During the first quarter of 2018, we early adopted the Accounting Standards Update issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) related to Intra-Entity Transfers ofAssets Other Than Inventory. This update requires companies to recognize the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory when the transfer occurs, asopposed to when the assets are ultimately sold to an outside party. This new guidance had a minimal impact on our accounting and financial reporting for the second quarter and first half of2018.
On May 28, 2014, the FASB and International Accounting Standards Board issued a new accounting standard that will supersede virtually all existing revenue recognition guidance undergenerally accepted accounting principles in the United States. This standard will be effective for us beginning June 1, 2018 (fiscal 2019). The fundamental principles of the new guidanceare that companies should recognize revenue in a manner that reflects the timing of the transfer of services to customers and the amount of revenue recognized reflects the considerationthat a company expects to receive for the goods and services provided. The new guidance establishes a five-step approach for the recognition of revenue. We are continuing to complete theassessment of the impact this new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures, including ongoing contract reviews. We do not anticipate that the newguidance will have a material impact on our revenue recognition policies, practices or systems.
On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued a new lease accounting standard which requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets but recognize the expenses in their incomestatements in a manner similar to current practice. The new standard states that a lessee will recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset forthe right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. Expenses related to leases determined to be operating leases will be recognized on a straight-line basis, while those determined to befinancing leases will be recognized following a front-loaded expense profile in which interest and amortization are presented separately in the income statement. Based on our leaseportfolio, we currently anticipate recognizing a lease liability and related right-of-use asset on the balance sheet in excess of $13 billion with an immaterial impact on our income statementcompared to the current lease accounting model. However, the ultimate impact of the standard will depend on the company’s lease portfolio as of the adoption date. We are currently in theprocess of evaluating our existing lease portfolios, including accumulating all of the necessary information required to properly account for the leases under the new standard. Additionally,we are implementing an enterprise-wide lease management system to assist in the accounting and are evaluating additional changes to our processes and internal controls to ensure we meetthe standard’s reporting and disclosure requirements. These changes will be effective for our fiscal year beginning June 1, 2019 (fiscal 2020), with a modified retrospective adoptionmethod to the beginning of 2018.
In March 2017, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update that changes how employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement benefit plans present the netperiodic benefit cost in the income statement. This new guidance requires entities to report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs. The othercomponents of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component outside of income from operations. This standard willimpact our operating income but will have no impact on our net income or earnings per share. For example, adoption of this guidance would have reduced operating income by $146million in the second quarter and $292 million in the first half of 2018, and by $112 million in the second quarter and $224 million in the first half of 2017, but would not have impactedour net income in these periods. This new guidance will be effective for our fiscal year beginning June 1, 2018 (fiscal 2019) and will be applied retrospectively.

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 segmentsinclude the following businesses: FedEx Express Segment FedEx Express (express transportation) TNT Express (international express transportation, small-package ground delivery and freight transportation) FedEx Trade Networks (air and ocean freight forwarding, customs brokerage and cross-border enablement technology and
solutions) FedEx Ground Segment FedEx Ground (small-package ground delivery) FedEx Supply Chain (third-party logistics)
FedEx Freight Segment FedEx Freight (LTL freight transportation) FedEx Custom Critical (time-critical transportation) FedEx Services Segment FedEx Services (sales, marketing, information technology, communications, customer service, technical support, billing and
collection services and back-office functions) FedEx Office (document and business services and package acceptance)
FEDEX SERVICES SEGMENT
The line item “Intercompany charges” on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of our transportation segments reflects the allocations from the FedExServices segment to the respective transportation segments. The allocations of net operating costs are based on metrics such as relative revenues or estimated services provided.
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 (includingthe 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, which are an immaterial component of our allocations, are allocated to FedEx Express and FedEx Ground. We review and evaluate theperformance of our transportation segments based on operating income (inclusive of FedEx Services segment allocations). For the FedEx Services segment, performance is evaluated basedon the impact of its total allocated net operating costs on our transportation segments. We believe these allocations approximate the net cost of providing these functions. Our allocationmethodologies are refined periodically, as necessary, to reflect changes in our businesses.
ELIMINATIONS, CORPORATE AND OTHER
Certain FedEx operating companies provide transportation and related services for other FedEx companies outside their reportable segment. Billings for such services are based onnegotiated 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. Suchintersegment 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.
Corporate and other includes corporate headquarters costs for executive officers and certain legal and financial functions, as well as certain other costs and credits not attributed to our corebusiness. These costs are not allocated to the business segments.

FEDEX EXPRESS SEGMENT
FedEx Express offers a wide range of U.S. domestic and international shipping services for delivery of packages and freight including priority, deferred or economy services, whichprovide delivery on a time-definite or day-definite basis. As discussed in our Annual Report, we are reporting TNT Express as part of the FedEx Express segment. Prior year amounts havebeen revised to conform to the current year presentation. The following tables compare revenues, operating expenses, operating expenses as a percent of revenue, operating income (dollarsin millions) and operating margin for the periods ended November 30:

FedEx Express Segment Revenues
FedEx Express segment revenues increased 8% in the second quarter and 5% in the first half of 2018 primarily due to improved base yields and growth in international services, as well ashigher fuel surcharges and favorable exchange rates. These factors were partially offset by the NotPetya cyberattack discussed above.
U.S. domestic package yields increased 5% in the second quarter and the first half of 2018 primarily due to higher base rates and fuel surcharges. U.S. domestic average daily volumeincreased 1% in the second quarter and remained flat in the first half of 2018 driven by our U.S. deferred service, offset by declines in our overnight service offerings. International exportpackage yields increased 4% in the second quarter and 3% in the first half of 2018 due to higher fuel surcharges, favorable exchange rates and favorable service mix, partially offset bylower base rates. International export average daily volumes increased 3% in the second quarter and the first half of 2018 primarily due to increased international economy shipments,partially offset by the decrease in volume due to the NotPetya cyberattack. Freight yields increased 9% in the second quarter and 5% in the first half of 2018 primarily due to higher baserates, higher fuel surcharges and favorable exchange rates. Freight average daily pounds increased 5% in the second quarter of 2018 primarily due to higher international volume, partiallyoffset by the NotPetya cyberattack.
Our U.S. domestic and outbound fuel surcharge and the international fuel surcharges ranged as follows for the periods ended November 30:
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended 2017 2016 2017 2016
U.S. Domestic and Outbound Fuel Surcharge: Low 4.42% 2.00% 2.21% 0.96%High 4.87 2.28 4.87 2.53 Weighted-average 4.63 2.09 3.67 1.96

On September 18, 2017, FedEx Express announced a 4.9% average list price increase for U.S. domestic, U.S. export and U.S. import services effective January 1, 2018. Effective February6, 2017, FedEx Express fuel surcharges are adjusted on a weekly basis compared to the previous monthly adjustment. On January 2, 2017, FedEx Express implemented a 3.9% average listprice increase for U.S. domestic, U.S. export and U.S. import services and a change to the U.S. domestic dimensional weight divisor.
FedEx Express Segment Operating Income
FedEx Express operating income increased in the second quarter of 2018 due to higher revenues, the positive net impact of fuel and continued cost efficiencies. However, impacts from theNotPetya cyberattack and higher TNT Express integration expenses drove a decline in operating margin in the second quarter and also drove a decline in operating income and margin inthe first half of 2018.
The NotPetya cyberattack negatively affected results by an estimated $100 million in the second quarter and $400 million in the first half of 2018. Results also included $96 million of TNTExpress integration expenses in the second quarter and $184 million in the first half of 2018, a $68 million increase from the second quarter and $114 million increase from the first half of2017.
Salaries and employee benefits increased 7% in the second quarter and 5% in the first half of 2018 primarily due to merit increases, increased volume and unfavorable exchange rates.Purchased transportation increased 11% in the second quarter and 7% in the first half of 2018 due to increased volume and unfavorable exchange rates. Other expenses increased 8% in thesecond quarter and first half of 2018 due to increased outside service contracts primarily related to the NotPetya cyberattack, TNT Express integration expenses and unfavorable exchangerates. Maintenance and repairs increased 18% in the second quarter and 17% in the first half of 2018 due primarily to the timing of aircraft maintenance events.
Fuel expense increased 24% in the second quarter and 17% in the first half of 2018 due to increased fuel prices. However, the net impact of fuel had a moderate benefit to operating incomein the second quarter and first half of 2018 as higher fuel surcharges more than offset increased fuel prices. See the “Fuel” section of this MD&A for a description and additional discussionof the net impact of fuel on our operating results.

FedEx Ground Segment Operating Income
FedEx Ground segment operating income increased 12% in the second quarter and 7% in the first half of 2018 due to volume growth and increased yields. Higher purchased transportation,network expansion and staffing costs and increased self-insurance reserves partially offset these benefits and also drove the operating margin decline in the first half of 2018.
Purchased transportation expense increased 13% in the second quarter and 11% in the first half of 2018 primarily due to higher volumes and increased rates. Salaries and employee benefitsexpense increased 12% in the second quarter and 11% in the first half of 2018 primarily due to additional staffing to support volume growth, network expansion and merit increases. Otherexpense increased 9% in the second quarter and 8% in the first half of 2018 due to higher self-insurance reserves. Intercompany charges increased 10% in the second quarter and first halfof 2018 due to higher allocated information technology and marketing and sales costs. Rentals and depreciation and amortization expense increased 8% in the second quarter and first halfof 2018 due to network expansion.
Independent Contractor Model
FedEx Ground is involved in lawsuits and administrative proceedings claiming that owner-operators engaged under a contractor model no longer in use should have been treated asemployees of FedEx Ground, rather than independent contractors. In addition, we are defending joint-employer cases where it is alleged that FedEx Ground should be treated as anemployer of the drivers employed by owner-operators engaged by FedEx Ground. These cases are in varying stages of litigation. We will continue to vigorously defend ourselves in theseproceedings and continue to believe that owner-operators engaged by FedEx Ground are properly classified as independent contractors and that FedEx Ground is not an employer of thedrivers employed by these owner-operators. For additional information on the FedEx Ground Independent Service Provider model, see “Other Outlook Matters” under Consolidated Results of this MD&A.

Cash flows from operating activities decreased $1.1 billion in the first half of 2018 primarily due to the NotPetya cyberattack, higher income tax payments, pension contributions and thepayment of a previously accrued legal settlement. Capital expenditures decreased slightly during the first half of 2018 primarily due to lower spending related to package handling andground support equipment at FedEx Ground and FedEx Express, partially offset by increased facilities and other at FedEx Ground. See “Capital Resources” for a discussion of capitalexpenditures during 2018 and 2017.
During the second quarter of 2018, we issued $250 million of commercial paper, providing us with additional short-term liquidity flexibility. Upon maturity in January 2018, we will re-evaluate our short-term liquidity needs and assess whether to issue additional commercial paper in order to maintain this short-term liquidity flexibility.
On January 26, 2016, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program of up to 25 million shares. During the second quarter of 2018, we repurchased 0.8 million shares ofFedEx common stock at an average price of $220.67 per share for a total of $184 million. During the first half of 2018, we repurchased 1.2 million shares of FedEx common stock at anaverage price of $216.45 per share for a total of $270 million. As of November 30, 2017, 14.8 million shares remained under the share repurchase authorization. Shares under the currentrepurchase program may be repurchased from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and volume of repurchases are at the discretion ofmanagement, based on the capital needs of the business, the market price of FedEx common stock and general market conditions. No time limit was set for the completion of the program,and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our operations are capital intensive, characterized by significant investments in aircraft, vehicles, technology, facilities, and package handling and sort equipment. The amount and timingof capital additions depend on various factors, including pre-existing contractual commitments, anticipated volume growth, domestic and international economic conditions, new orenhanced services, geographical expansion of services, availability of satisfactory financing, tax laws and actions of regulatory authorities.

Total capital expenditures $ 1,577 $ 1,466 $ 2,621 $ 2,681 8 (2) Capital expenditures decreased slightly during the first half of 2018 primarily due to lower spending related to package handling and ground support equipment at FedEx Ground andFedEx Express, partially offset by increased facilities and other at FedEx Ground. Aircraft and related equipment purchases at FedEx Express during the first half of 2018 included thedelivery of six Boeing 767-300 Freighter aircraft and three Boeing 777 Freighter aircraft.
LIQUIDITY OUTLOOK
We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations and available financing sources are adequate to meet our liquidity needs, including working capital, capitalexpenditure requirements and debt payment obligations. Our cash and cash equivalents balance at November 30, 2017 included $1.1 billion of cash in foreign jurisdictions associated withour permanent reinvestment strategy. We do not believe that the indefinite reinvestment of these funds impairs our ability to meet our domestic debt or working capital obligations.Although we expect higher capital expenditures in 2018, we anticipate that our cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund these expenditures. Historically, we have beensuccessful in obtaining unsecured financing, from both domestic and international sources, although the marketplace for such investment capital can become restricted depending on avariety of economic factors.
Our capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $5.9 billion in 2018 and include spending for aircraft and aircraft-related equipment at FedEx Express, sort facility expansion,primarily at FedEx Ground, and new and replacement vehicles at all of our transportation segments. We expect to invest an additional $1.2 billion for aircraft and aircraft-related equipmentduring the remainder of 2018. However, we may increase our capital expenditures in 2018 if the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 is enacted.
During the second quarter of 2018, FedEx Express entered into an agreement to purchase 50 Cessna SkyCourier 408 aircraft with options to purchase up to 50 additional CessnaSkyCourier 408 aircraft. The 50 firm-order Cessna SkyCourier 408 aircraft are expected to be delivered from fiscal 2021 through 2024.

We have a five-year $1.75 billion revolving credit facility that expires in November 2020. See Note 3 of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for adescription of the term and significant covenants of our revolving credit facility.
During the first half of 2018, we made contributions totaling $750 million to our tax-qualified U.S. domestic pension plans (“U.S. Pension Plans”), of which $268 million were required.We expect to make an additional $250 million contribution to our U.S. Pension Plans during 2018. Our U.S. Pension Plans have ample funds to meet expected benefit payments.

CONTRACTUAL CASH OBLIGATIONS AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The following table sets forth a summary of our contractual cash obligations as of November 30, 2017. Certain of these contractual obligations are reflected in our balance sheet, whileothers are disclosed as future obligations under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Except for the current portion of interest on long-term debt, this table does notinclude amounts already recorded in our balance sheet as current liabilities at November 30, 2017. We have certain contingent liabilities that are not accrued in our balance sheet inaccordance 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 reflectedin our balance sheet, including deferred income taxes, qualified and nonqualified pension and postretirement healthcare plan liabilities and other self-insurance accruals. The paymentobligations 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 ourtotal 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 purchaseorders often represent authorizations to purchase rather than binding agreements. See Note 7 of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for moreinformation.
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 aninitial or remaining term in excess of one year at November 30, 2017.
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 ($38 million) for uncertain taxpositions and amounts for purchase obligations that represent noncancelable agreements to purchase goods or services that are not capital related. Such contracts include those for printingand 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 increaseor decrease over time; therefore, the long-term portion of the liability for uncertain tax positions ($39 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.
We had $684 million in deposits and progress payments as of November 30, 2017 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 certainpurchases of aircraft, aircraft modifications, vehicles, facilities, computers and other equipment.
Financing Activities
The amounts reflected in the table above for long-term debt represent future scheduled principal payments on our long-term debt.
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 estimatesto 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 thoroughprocess 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 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 belowits carrying value. We do not believe there has been any other change of events or circumstances that would indicate that a reevaluation of the goodwill of our reporting units is required asof November 30, 2017, nor do we believe the goodwill of our reporting units is at risk of failing impairment testing. For additional details on goodwill impairment testing, refer to Note 1 ofour Annual Report.
Information regarding our critical accounting estimates can be found in our Annual Report, including Note 1 to the financial statements therein. Management has discussed thedevelopment and selection of these critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors and with our independent registered public accounting firm.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
As of November 30, 2017, 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, Chinese yuan, British pound, Brazilian real, Canadian dollar and Mexican peso. 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 half of 2018, the U.S. dollar strengthened relative to the currencies of the foreign countries in which we operate, as compared to May 31,2017, and this strengthening had a slightly negative impact 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 indexed fuel surcharges. For additional discussion of our indexed fuelsurcharges see the “Fuel” section of “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition.”
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 thatthe 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 periodsspecified in the SEC’s rules and forms, including ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to FedEx management as appropriate to allow timely decisionsregarding required disclosure. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive and financial officers have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as ofNovember 30, 2017 (the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).
During our fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2017, no change occurred in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materiallyaffect, 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.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Other than the risk factor set forth below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report (under the heading “Risk Factors” in “Management’sDiscussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition”) in response to Part I, Item 1A of Form 10-K.
TNT Express experienced a significant cyberattack in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and the ongoing impact could negatively affect our results of operations and financial conditionin the future, particularly if our continuing recovery efforts do not proceed as expected.
On June 28, 2017, we announced that the worldwide operations of TNT Express were significantly affected by the cyberattack known as NotPetya, which involved the spread of aninformation technology virus that infiltrated TNT Express systems and encrypted its data. While TNT Express’s critical operational systems have been fully restored, critical business datahas been recovered and shipping services and solutions are back in place, not all customers are shipping at pre-attack volume levels and we are continuing to engage in related recoveryefforts. Our results of operations and financial condition could be negatively impacted in the future if our recovery efforts do not proceed as expected, particularly if lost revenues orincremental costs associated with the cyberattack exceed our expectations. The following consequences or potential consequences of the cyberattack could have an adverse impact on ourresults of operations and financial condition in the future:
• loss of revenue due to permanent customer loss;
• additional costs due to claims for service failures;
• higher effective tax rate due to reduced international earnings;
• longer and more costly integration (due to increased expenses and capital spending requirements) of TNT Express and FedEx Express;
• investments in enhanced systems in order to prevent future attacks;
• cost of incentives offered to customers to restore confidence and maintain business relationships;
• reputational damage resulting in the failure to retain or attract customers;
• costs associated with potential litigation or governmental investigations;
• costs associated with any data breach or data loss to third parties that is discovered; and
• other consequences of which we are not currently aware but may subsequently discover.

(b) The consummation of a merger, consolidation or reorganization with or into the Company or in which securities of the Company are issued, or the sale or otherdisposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions, of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (a “Corporate Transaction”), unless:
(1) the stockholders of the Company immediately before such Corporate Transaction will own, directly or indirectly, immediately following such CorporateTransaction, at least 60% of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the corporation or other entity resulting from such Corporate Transaction(including a corporation or other entity that acquires all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, the “Surviving Company”) or the ultimate parent company thereof insubstantially the same proportion as their ownership of the voting securities of the Company immediately before such Corporate Transaction;
17
(2) the individuals who were members of the Board of Directors immediately prior to the execution of the agreement providing for such Corporate Transactionconstitute a majority of the members of the board of directors or equivalent governing body of the Surviving Company or the ultimate parent company thereof; and
(3) no person, other than (A) the Company, (B) any subsidiary of the Company, (C) any employee benefit plan (or a trust forming a part thereof) maintained by theCompany or any subsidiary of the Company, (D) the Surviving Company, (E) any subsidiary or parent company of the Surviving Company, or (F) any person who,immediately prior to such Corporate Transaction, was the beneficial owner of securities of the Company representing 30% or more of the total voting power of theCompany’s then outstanding voting securities, is the beneficial owner of 30% or more of the total voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the SurvivingCompany or the ultimate parent company thereof.

In the event that any acceleration of vesting pursuant to an Award and any other payment or benefit received or to be received by a Participant under the Plan inconnection with a Change of Control would subject a Participant to any excise tax pursuant to Code Section 4999 (which excise tax would be the Participant’s obligation) due to thecharacterization of such acceleration of vesting, payment or benefit as an “excess parachute payment” under Code Section 280G, the Participant may elect, in his or her sole discretion, toreduce the amount of any acceleration of vesting, payment or benefit called for under an Award in order to avoid such characterization.
Section 21. Repricing Prohibited
