Filing receipts
“FedEx Freight Segment Operating Income FedEx Freight segment operating income decreased 97% in the third quarter and 55% in the nine months of 2026 primarily due to higher costs related to the planned spin-off of FedEx Freight, including increased salaries and employee benefits expense, outside service contracts and professional fees, as well as reduced demand.”
“Other operating expense increased 10% in the third quarter and 10% in the nine months of 2026 primarily due to increased professional and outside service contract fees, credit losses from higher revenue and impacts from global trade policy changes, and customs-related brokerage fees due to the removal of the de minimis exemption.”
“Purchased transportation expense increased 8% in the third quarter and 6% in the nine months of 2026 primarily due to volume-related costs to support higher package volume and contracted service provider rates.”
