SECTION 2. FINANCIAL INFORMATION.

On June 12, 2024, Federal Express Corporation (“FEC”), a subsidiary of FedEx Corporation (“FedEx”), announced a workforce reduction plan in Europe as part of its ongoing measures to reduce structural costs. A copy of the press release issued by FEC on June 12, 2024 announcing the plan is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference. The execution of the plan is subject to a consultation process that is expected to occur over an 18-month period in accordance with local country processes and regulations. The plan will impact between 1,700 and 2,000 employees in Europe across back-office and commercial functions.

We expect the pre-tax cost of the severance benefits and legal and professional fees to be provided under and related to the plan to range from $250 million to $375 million in cash expenditures. These charges are expected to be incurred through fiscal 2026 and will be classified as business optimization expenses. We expect savings from the plan to be between $125 million and $175 million on an annualized basis beginning in fiscal 2027. The actual amount and timing of cost savings resulting from the workforce reduction plan are dependent on local country consultation processes and regulations and negotiated social plans and may differ from our current expectations and estimates.

Forward-looking statements include those preceded by, followed by or that include the words “will,” “may,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “believe,” “expected,” “anticipated,” “plans,” “estimates,” “targets,” “projects,” “intends” or similar expressions.

Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. FedEx and FEC do not undertake or assume any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
