General [Abstract] | |
General | (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, 2019 (“Annual Report”). 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, 2020, and the results of our operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, cash flows for the nine-month periods ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, and changes in common stockholders’ investment for the three- and nine-month periods ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019. Operating results for the three- and nine-month periods ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending May 31, 2020. Except as otherwise specified, references to years indicate our fiscal year ending May 31, 2020 or ended May 31 of the year referenced and comparisons are to the corresponding period of the prior year. RECLASSIFICATIONS . Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. REVENUE RECOGNITION . Contract Assets and Liabilities Contract assets include billed and unbilled amounts resulting from in-transit packages, as we have an unconditional right to payment only once all performance obligations have been completed (e.g., packages have been delivered). Contract assets are generally classified as current and the full balance is converted each quarter based on the short-term nature of the transactions. Our contract liabilities consist of advance payments and billings in excess of revenue. The full balance of deferred revenue is converted each quarter based on the short-term nature of the transactions. Gross contract assets related to in-transit packages totaled $491 million and $533 million at February 29, 2020 and May 31, 2019, respectively. Contract assets net of deferred unearned revenue were $360 million and $364 million at February 29, 2020 and May 31, 2019, respectively. Contract assets are included within current assets in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Contract liabilities related to advance payments from customers were $10 million and $11 million at February 29, 2020 and May 31, 2019, respectively. Contract liabilities are included within current liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Disaggregation of Revenue The following table provides revenue by service type (in millions) for the periods ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019. This presentation is consistent with how we organize our segments internally for making operating decisions and measuring performance.

( 2 ) Includes the FedEx Logistics, Inc. (“FedEx Logistics”) and FedEx Office and Print Services, Inc. (“FedEx Office”) operating segments. LEASES . We lease certain facilities, aircraft, equipment and vehicles under operating and finance leases. A determination of whether a contract contains a lease is made at the inception of the arrangement. Our leased facilities include national, regional and metropolitan sorting facilities, retail facilities and administrative buildings. We leased 5% of our total aircraft fleet as of February 29, 2020 and 6% as of May 31, 2019. Our leases generally contain options to extend or terminate the lease. We reevaluate our leases on a regular basis to consider the economic and strategic incentives of exercising the renewal options, and how they align with our operating strategy. Therefore, substantially all the renewal option periods are not included within the lease term and the associated payments are not included in the measurement of the right-of-use asset and lease liability as the options to extend are not reasonably certain at lease commencement. The lease liabilities are measured at the lease commencement date and determined using the present value of the minimum lease payments not yet paid and our incremental borrowing rate, which approximates the rate at which we would borrow, on a collateralized basis, over the term of a lease in the applicable currency environment. The interest rate implicit in the lease is generally not determinable in transactions where we are the lessee. For real estate leases, we account for lease components and non-lease components (such as common area maintenance) as a single lease component. Certain real estate leases require additional payments based on sales volume and index - based rate increases , as well as reimbursement for real estate taxes, common area maintenance and insurance, which are expensed as incurred as variable lease costs. Certain leases contain fixed lease payment s for items such as real estate taxes, common area maintenance and insurance. These fixed payments are considered part of the lease payment and included in the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. See Note 8 for IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS . Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. For assets that are to be held and used, an impairment is recognized when the estimated undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset or group of assets is less than their carrying value. If impairment exists, an adjustment is made to write the asset down to its fair value, and a loss is recorded as the difference between the carrying value and fair value. Fair values are determined based on quoted market values, discounted cash flows or internal and external appraisals, as applicable. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of carrying value or estimated net realizable value. We operate integrated transportation networks, and accordingly, cash flows for most of our operating assets to be held and used are assessed at a network level, not at an individual asset level, for our analysis of impairment. In the second quarter of 2020, we made the decision to permanently retire from service 10 Airbus A310-300 aircraft and 12 related engines at Federal Express Corporation (“FedEx Express”) with the needs of the U.S. domestic network and modernize its aircraft fleet EMPLOYEES UNDER COLLECTIVE BARGAINING ARRANGEMENTS. The pilots of FedEx Express, who are a small number of its total employees, are employed under a collective bargaining agreement that took effect on November 2, 2015. The collective bargaining agreement is scheduled to become amendable in November 2021. Other than the pilots at FedEx Express and drivers at one FedEx Freight, Inc. facility, our U.S. employees have thus far chosen not to unionize (we acquired FedEx Supply Chain Distribution System, Inc. in 2015, which already had a small number of employees who are members of unions). Additionally, certain FedEx Express non-U.S. employees are unionized, and a union has been certified to represent owner-drivers at a FedEx Freight Canada, Corp. facility. 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 $33 million for the three-month period ended February 29, 2020 and $137 million for the nine-month period ended February 29, 2020. Our stock-based compensation expense was $33 million for the three-month period ended February 28, 2019 and $141 million for the nine-month period ended February 28, 2019. Due to its immateriality, additional disclosures related to stock-based compensation have been excluded from this quarterly report. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS. Our risk management strategy includes the select use of derivative instruments to reduce the effects of volatility in foreign currency exchange exposure on operating results and cash flows. In accordance with our risk management policies, we do not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. All derivative instruments are recognized in the financial statements at fair value, regardless of the purpose or intent for holding them. When we become a party to a derivative instrument and intend to apply hedge accounting, we formally document the hedge relationship and the risk management objective for undertaking the hedge, which includes designating the instrument for financial reporting purposes as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge or a net investment hedge. If a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the entire change in the fair value of the hedging instrument included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness is recorded in other comprehensive income. For net investment hedges, the entire change in the fair value is recorded in the currency translation adjustment section of other comprehensive income. Any portion of a change in the fair value of a derivative that is considered to be ineffective, along with the change in fair value of any derivatives not designated in a hedging relationship, is immediately recognized in the income statement. We do not have any derivatives designated as a cash flow hedge for any period presented. Accordingly, additional disclosures about cash flow hedges are excluded from this quarterly report. On August 13, 2019, we designated €294 million of debt and on November 8, 2019, we designated an additional €98 million of debt, for a total of €392 million, as a net investment hedge to reduce the volatility of the U.S. dollar value of a portion of our net investment in a euro-denominated consolidated subsidiary. As of February 29, 2020, the requirements for the application of hedge accounting continue to be met and the hedge remains effective. 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. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new lease accounting standard, which requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets but recognize the expenses in their income statements in a manner similar to current practice. Lessees are required to recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. Expenses related to leases determined to be operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis, while those determined to be finance leases are recognized following a front-loaded expense profile in which interest and amortization are presented separately in the income statement. We adopted this new standard on June 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective transition method. Using the modified retrospective transition method of adoption, we did not adjust the balance sheet for comparative periods but recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings on June 1, 2019. We have elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allows us to carry forward the historical accounting relating to lease identification and classification for existing leases upon adoption. We also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for the majority of our classes of assets. For leases in which the lease and non-lease components have been combined, the lease expense includes expenses such as common area maintenance. We have made an accounting policy election not to recognize leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the consolidated balance sheet. The adoption of the new lease accounting standard resulted in the recognition of an operating lease liability of $14.2 billion and an operating right-of-use asset of $14.1 billion, with an immaterial impact on our income statement compared to the previous lease accounting model. Existing prepaid asset and net deferred rent liability balances of $154 million and $309 million, respectively, were recorded to the right-of-use asset. The cumulative effect of the adoption to retained earnings was an increase of $57 million ($47 million, net of tax), primarily related to the reclassification of deferred gains related to sale-leasebacks of aircraft. Substantially all of our lease arrangements are operating leases under the new standard. The new standard had a material impact on our balance sheet, but did not materially impact consolidated operating results and had no impact on operating cash flows. See “Leases” and Note 8 for . In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02 that permits companies to reclassify the income tax effect of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) on items within Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) to retained earnings. We adopted this new standard on June 1, 2019. New Accounting Standards and Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 that changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. We will adopt this standard effective June 1, 2020 (fiscal 2021). This standard will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15 that reduces the complexity of accounting for costs of implementing a cloud computing service arrangement and aligns the accounting for capitalizing implementation costs of hosting arrangements, regardless of whether they convey a license to the hosted software. We will adopt this standard effective June 1, 2020 (fiscal 2021) and apply these changes prospectively. This new guidance will have a minimal impact on our financial reporting. I n December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 , which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application . This standard is effective June 1, 2021 (fiscal 2022). We are currently evaluating the impact of this new standard but do no t currently expect it will have a material impact on our consolidated financi al statements and related disclosures . In March 2020, the SEC amended Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X regarding financial disclosure requirements for registered debt offerings involving subsidiaries as either issuers or guarantors and affiliates whose securities are pledged as collateral. This new guidance narrows the circumstances that require separate financial statements of subsidiary issuers and guarantors and streamlines the alternative disclosures required in lieu of those statements. This rule is effective January 4, 2021 (fiscal 2021) with earlier adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new rule on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. TREASURY SHARES. In January 2016, our Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to 25 million shares. Shares under the current repurchase 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 of management, 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. We did not repurchase any shares of FedEx common stock during the third quarter of 2020. During the nine months of 2020, we repurchased 0.02 million shares of FedEx common stock at an average price of $156.90 per share for a total of $3 million. As of February 29, 2020, 5.1 million shares remained under the stock repurchase authorization. DIVIDENDS DECLARED PER COMMON SHARE. On February 14, 2020, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.65 per share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on April 1, 2020 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 9, 2020. 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. |

Debt And Capital Lease Obligations [Abstract] | |
Financing Arrangements | (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. During the first quarter of 2020, we issued $2.1 billion of senior unsecured debt under our current shelf registration statement, comprised of $1.0 billion of 3.10% fixed-rate notes due in August 2029, €500 million of 0.45% fixed-rate notes due in August 2025 and €500 million of 1.30% fixed-rate notes due in August 2031. We used the net proceeds to make voluntary contributions to our tax-qualified U.S. domestic pension plans (“U.S. Pension Plans”) during the first quarter of 2020 and to redeem the $400 million aggregate principal amount of 2.30% notes due February 1, 2020 and the €500 million aggregate principal amount of 0.50% notes due April 9, 2020. The remaining net proceeds are being used for general corporate purposes. We have a $2.0 billion five-year During the third quarter of 2020, we issued commercial paper to provide us with additional short-term liquidity. The maximum amount outstanding during the quarter was $1.1 billion. Our commercial paper program is backed by unused commitments under the revolving credit facility, and borrowings under the program reduce the amount available under the credit facility. As of February 29, 2020, $300 million of commercial paper and $0.3 million in letters of credit were outstanding, leaving $3.200 billion available under the Credit Agreements for future borrowings. Long-term debt, including current maturities and exclusive of finance leases, had carrying values of $18.5 billion at February 29, 2020 and $17.5 billion at May 31, 2019, compared with estimated fair values of $20.0 billion at February 29, 2020 and $17.8 billion at May 31, 2019. The annualized weighted-average interest rate on long-term debt was 3.5% at February 29, 2020. 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 debt is 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 the liability, either directly or indirectly. |

Income Taxes | (5) Income Taxes Our effective tax rate was 25.0% for the third quarter and 18.5% for the nine months of 2020 compared with 20.6% for the third quarter and 21.8% for the nine months of 2019. The tax rate for the nine months of 2020 includes a benefit of $133 million from the reduction of a valuation allowance on certain foreign tax loss carryforwards due to operational changes which impacted the determination of the realizability of the deferred tax asset in that jurisdiction. The 2020 tax rates were negatively impacted by decreased earnings in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions. The tax rates for the third quarter and nine months of 2019 included a benefit of $90 million from the reduction of a valuation allowance on certain tax loss carryforwards, partially offset by an expense of $50 million from the impact on our deferred taxes attributable to the enactment of a lower tax rate in the Netherlands. The tax rate for the nine months of 2019 was also favorably impacted by the TCJA, which resulted in an approximate $60 million tax benefit from accelerated deductions claimed on our 2018 tax return filed in 2019. |

Retirement Plans | (6) 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, 2020 and February 28, 2019 were as follows (in millions): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2020 2019 2020 2019 Defined benefit pension plans, net $ 38 $ 28 $ 112 $ 85 Defined contribution plans 147 138 425 415 Postretirement healthcare plans 21 19 64 56 $ 206 $ 185 $ 601 $ 556 Net periodic benefit cost of the pension and postretirement healthcare plans for the periods ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019 included the following components (in millions): Three Months Ended U.S. Pension Plans International Pension Plans Postretirement Healthcare Plans 2020 2019 2020 2019 2020 2019 Service cost $ 192 $ 173 $ 25 $ 23 $ 10 $ 9 Other retirement plans (income) expense: Interest cost 250 237 11 13 11 10 Expected return on plan assets (400 ) (376 ) (13 ) (12 ) — — Amortization of prior service credit and other (26 ) (30 ) (1 ) — — — (176 ) (169 ) (3 ) 1 11 10 $ 16 $ 4 $ 22 $ 24 $ 21 $ 19 Nine Months Ended U.S. Pension Plans International Pension Plans Postretirement Healthcare Plans 2020 2019 2020 2019 2020 2019 Service cost $ 576 $ 517 $ 73 $ 72 $ 31 $ 26 Other retirement plans (income) expense: Interest cost 750 713 33 38 33 30 Expected return on plan assets (1,201 ) (1,129 ) (39 ) (36 ) — — Amortization of prior service credit and other (78 ) (89 ) (2 ) (1 ) — — (529 ) (505 ) (8 ) 1 33 30 $ 47 $ 12 $ 65 $ 73 $ 64 $ 56 We made voluntary contributions to our U.S. Pension Plans of $1.0 billion during the nine months of 2020 and 2019. During the second quarter of 2020, we announced the closing of our U.S.-based defined benefit pension plans to new non-union employees hired on or after January 1, 2020. We will introduce an all 401(k) plan retirement benefit structure for eligible employees with a higher company match of up to 8% across all U.S.-based operating companies. During 2020, current eligible employees under the Portable Pension Account (PPA) pension formula will be given a one-time option to continue to be eligible for pension compensation credits under the existing PPA formula and remain in the existing 401(k) plan with its match of up to 3.5%, or to cease receiving compensation credits under the pension plan and move to the new 401(k) plan with the higher match of up to 8%. Changes to the new 401(k) plan structure become effective beginning January 1, 2021. While this new program will provide employees greater flexibility and reduce our long-term pension costs, it will not have a material impact on current or near-term financial results. |

Segment Reporting Disclosure Of Entitys Reportable Segments [Abstract] | |
Business Segment Information | (7) Business Segment Information 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 FedEx Express, including TNT Express B.V. (“TNT Express”), the world’s largest express transportation company; FedEx Ground Package System, Inc. (“FedEx Ground”), a leading North American provider of small-package ground delivery services; and FedEx Freight Corporation (“FedEx Freight”), a leading North American provider of less-than-truckload (“LTL”) freight transportation services. These companies represent our major service lines and, along with FedEx Corporate Services, Inc. (“FedEx Services”), constitute our reportable segments. Our reportable segments include the following businesses: FedEx Express Segment FedEx Express (express transportation) TNT Express (international express transportation, small-package ground delivery and freight transportation) FedEx Ground Segment FedEx Ground (small-package ground delivery) FedEx Freight Segment FedEx Freight (LTL freight transportation) FedEx Services Segment FedEx Services (sales, marketing, information technology, communications, customer service, technical support, billing and collection services and back-office functions) References to our transportation segments include, collectively, the FedEx Express segment, the FedEx Ground segment and the FedEx Freight segment. Effective June 1, 2019, the results of the FedEx Office operating segment are included in “Corporate, other and eliminations.” This change was made to reflect our internal management reporting structure. Prior year amounts have been revised to reflect current year presentation. FedEx Services Segment The FedEx Services segment operates combined sales, marketing, administrative and information-technology functions in shared services operations for U.S. customers of our major business units and certain back-office support to our operating segments which allows 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 and reported by FedEx Express in their natural expense line items. The FedEx Services segment provides direct and indirect support to our operating segments, and we allocate all of the net operating costs of the FedEx Services segment to reflect the full cost of operating our businesses in the results of those segments. 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 operating segments. Operating expenses for each of our transportation segments include the allocations from the FedEx Services segment to the respective transportation segments. These allocations also include charges and credits for administrative services provided between operating companies. The allocations of net operating costs are based on metrics such as relative revenue or estimated services provided. We believe these allocations approximate the net cost of providing these functions. Our allocation methodologies are refined periodically, as necessary, to reflect changes in our businesses. Corporate, Other and Eliminations Corporate and other includes corporate headquarters costs for executive officers and certain legal and finance functions, as well as certain other costs and credits not attributed to our core business. These costs are not allocated to the other business segments. Also included in corporate and other is the FedEx Office operating segment, which provides an array of document and business services and retail access to our customers for our package transportation businesses, and the FedEx Logistics operating segment, which provides integrated supply chain management solutions, specialty transportation, cross-border e-commerce technology and e-commerce transportation solutions, customs brokerage and global ocean and air freight forwarding. 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 revenue of the billing segment. These rates are adjusted from time to time based on market conditions. Such intersegment revenue 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 revenue and operating income (loss) to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement totals for the periods ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019 (in millions): Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended 2020 2019 2020 2019 Revenue: FedEx Express segment $ 8,924 $ 9,005 $ 26,953 $ 27,831 FedEx Ground segment 5,845 5,261 16,339 15,202 FedEx Freight segment 1,738 1,750 5,487 5,627 FedEx Services segment 6 4 15 17 Other and eliminations 974 990 3,065 3,209 $ 17,487 $ 17,010 $ 51,859 $ 51,886 Operating income (loss): FedEx Express segment $ 137 $ 389 $ 658 $ 1,407 FedEx Ground segment 355 586 1,341 1,852 FedEx Freight segment 113 97 448 421 Corporate, other and eliminations (194 ) (161 ) (505 ) (530 ) $ 411 $ 911 $ 1,942 $ 3,150 |

As of February 29, 2020, FedEx has entered into additional leases which have not yet commenced and are therefore not part of the right-of-use asset and liability. These leases are generally for build-to-suit facilities and have undiscounted future payments of approximately $1.7 billion, and will commence when FedEx gains beneficial access to the leased asset. Commencement dates are expected to be from fiscal 2020 to fiscal 2022.

As of February 29, 2020, our obligation to purchase six Boeing 777 Freighter (“B777F”) aircraft and three Boeing 767-300 Freighter (“B767F”) aircraft 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. Open purchase orders that are cancelable are not considered unconditional purchase obligations for financial reporting purposes and are not included in the table above. During the first quarter of 2020, FedEx Express exercised options to purchase an additional six B767F aircraft for delivery in 2022. During the third quarter of 2020, FedEx Express executed two contract amendments rescheduling two B777F aircraft deliveries from 2023 to 2022 and two B767F aircraft deliveries from 2022 to 2023.

Loss Contingency [Abstract] | |
Contingencies | (10) Contingencies Service Provider Lawsuits . FedEx Ground is defending lawsuits in which it is alleged that FedEx Ground should be treated as an employer of drivers employed by service providers engaged by FedEx Ground. These cases are in varying stages of litigation, and we are not currently able to estimate an amount or range 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 in these matters could, among other things, entitle service providers’ drivers to certain wage payments from the service providers and FedEx Ground, and result in employment and withholding tax and benefit liability for FedEx Ground. We continue to believe that FedEx Ground is not an employer or joint employer of the drivers of these independent businesses. Federal Securities Litigation and Derivative Lawsuits . On June 26, 2019 and July 2, 2019, FedEx and certain present and former officers were named as defendants in two putative class action securities lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaints, which have been consolidated, allege violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder relating to alleged misstatements or omissions in FedEx’s public filings with the SEC and other public statements during the period from September 19, 2017 to December 18, 2018. We are not currently able to estimate the probability of loss or the amount or range of potential loss, if any, at this stage of the litigation. On September 17, 2019 and November 6, 2019, FedEx, its Board of Directors and certain present and former directors and officers were named as defendants in two stockholder derivative lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware. The complaints, which have been consolidated, repeat the allegations in the federal securities litigation complaints discussed above, and assert new claims against the FedEx Board of Directors and certain present and former directors and officers for breach of fiduciary duty, waste of corporate assets, unjust enrichment, insider selling and violations of the federal securities laws. We are not currently able to estimate the probability of loss or the amount or range of potential loss, if any, at this stage of the litigation. Environmental Matters . SEC regulations require disclosure of certain environmental matters when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings and the proceedings involve potential monetary sanctions that management reasonably believes could exceed $100,000. Prior to our acquisition of TNT Express, a lawsuit was filed in Simões Filho, Bahia, Brazil against a subsidiary of TNT Express alleging violations of Brazilian environmental laws. Specifically, the lawsuit alleges that in 2012, certain employees unlawfully discarded non-toxic trash on a highway. We could be subject to monetary sanctions and fines related to such activity that exceed $100,000. We believe that the aggregate amount of any such sanctions and fines will be immaterial. Other Matters . 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 or cash flows. |

Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements | (12) 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 the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The guarantor subsidiaries, which are 100% owned by FedEx, guarantee $18.5 billion of our public 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): CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING BALANCE SHEETS

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 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, 2019 (“Annual Report”). 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, 2020, and the results of our operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, cash flows for the nine-month periods ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019, and changes in common stockholders’ investment for the three- and nine-month periods ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019. Operating results for the three- and nine-month periods ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending May 31, 2020. Except as otherwise specified, references to years indicate our fiscal year ending May 31, 2020 or ended May 31 of the year referenced and comparisons are to the corresponding period of the prior year. |
Reclassifications | RECLASSIFICATIONS . Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years’ condensed consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. |
Revenue Recognition | REVENUE RECOGNITION . Contract Assets and Liabilities Contract assets include billed and unbilled amounts resulting from in-transit packages, as we have an unconditional right to payment only once all performance obligations have been completed (e.g., packages have been delivered). Contract assets are generally classified as current and the full balance is converted each quarter based on the short-term nature of the transactions. Our contract liabilities consist of advance payments and billings in excess of revenue. The full balance of deferred revenue is converted each quarter based on the short-term nature of the transactions. Gross contract assets related to in-transit packages totaled $491 million and $533 million at February 29, 2020 and May 31, 2019, respectively. Contract assets net of deferred unearned revenue were $360 million and $364 million at February 29, 2020 and May 31, 2019, respectively. Contract assets are included within current assets in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Contract liabilities related to advance payments from customers were $10 million and $11 million at February 29, 2020 and May 31, 2019, respectively. Contract liabilities are included within current liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Disaggregation of Revenue The following table provides revenue by service type (in millions) for the periods ended February 29, 2020 and February 28, 2019.

Leases | LEASES . We lease certain facilities, aircraft, equipment and vehicles under operating and finance leases. A determination of whether a contract contains a lease is made at the inception of the arrangement. Our leased facilities include national, regional and metropolitan sorting facilities, retail facilities and administrative buildings. We leased 5% of our total aircraft fleet as of February 29, 2020 and 6% as of May 31, 2019. Our leases generally contain options to extend or terminate the lease. We reevaluate our leases on a regular basis to consider the economic and strategic incentives of exercising the renewal options, and how they align with our operating strategy. Therefore, substantially all the renewal option periods are not included within the lease term and the associated payments are not included in the measurement of the right-of-use asset and lease liability as the options to extend are not reasonably certain at lease commencement. The lease liabilities are measured at the lease commencement date and determined using the present value of the minimum lease payments not yet paid and our incremental borrowing rate, which approximates the rate at which we would borrow, on a collateralized basis, over the term of a lease in the applicable currency environment. The interest rate implicit in the lease is generally not determinable in transactions where we are the lessee. For real estate leases, we account for lease components and non-lease components (such as common area maintenance) as a single lease component. Certain real estate leases require additional payments based on sales volume and index - based rate increases , as well as reimbursement for real estate taxes, common area maintenance and insurance, which are expensed as incurred as variable lease costs. Certain leases contain fixed lease payment s for items such as real estate taxes, common area maintenance and insurance. These fixed payments are considered part of the lease payment and included in the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. See Note 8 for |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS . Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. For assets that are to be held and used, an impairment is recognized when the estimated undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset or group of assets is less than their carrying value. If impairment exists, an adjustment is made to write the asset down to its fair value, and a loss is recorded as the difference between the carrying value and fair value. Fair values are determined based on quoted market values, discounted cash flows or internal and external appraisals, as applicable. Assets to be disposed of are carried at the lower of carrying value or estimated net realizable value. We operate integrated transportation networks, and accordingly, cash flows for most of our operating assets to be held and used are assessed at a network level, not at an individual asset level, for our analysis of impairment. In the second quarter of 2020, we made the decision to permanently retire from service 10 Airbus A310-300 aircraft and 12 related engines at Federal Express Corporation (“FedEx Express”) with the needs of the U.S. domestic network and modernize its aircraft fleet |
Stock-based Compensation | 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 $33 million for the three-month period ended February 29, 2020 and $137 million for the nine-month period ended February 29, 2020. Our stock-based compensation expense was $33 million for the three-month period ended February 28, 2019 and $141 million for the nine-month period ended February 28, 2019. Due to its immateriality, additional disclosures related to stock-based compensation have been excluded from this quarterly report. |
Derivative Financial Instruments | DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS. Our risk management strategy includes the select use of derivative instruments to reduce the effects of volatility in foreign currency exchange exposure on operating results and cash flows. In accordance with our risk management policies, we do not hold or issue derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. All derivative instruments are recognized in the financial statements at fair value, regardless of the purpose or intent for holding them. When we become a party to a derivative instrument and intend to apply hedge accounting, we formally document the hedge relationship and the risk management objective for undertaking the hedge, which includes designating the instrument for financial reporting purposes as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge or a net investment hedge. If a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the entire change in the fair value of the hedging instrument included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness is recorded in other comprehensive income. For net investment hedges, the entire change in the fair value is recorded in the currency translation adjustment section of other comprehensive income. Any portion of a change in the fair value of a derivative that is considered to be ineffective, along with the change in fair value of any derivatives not designated in a hedging relationship, is immediately recognized in the income statement. We do not have any derivatives designated as a cash flow hedge for any period presented. Accordingly, additional disclosures about cash flow hedges are excluded from this quarterly report. On August 13, 2019, we designated €294 million of debt and on November 8, 2019, we designated an additional €98 million of debt, for a total of €392 million, as a net investment hedge to reduce the volatility of the U.S. dollar value of a portion of our net investment in a euro-denominated consolidated subsidiary. As of February 29, 2020, the requirements for the application of hedge accounting continue to be met and the hedge remains effective. |
Recent Accounting Guidance | 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. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued a new lease accounting standard, which requires lessees to put most leases on their balance sheets but recognize the expenses in their income statements in a manner similar to current practice. Lessees are required to recognize a lease liability for the obligation to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset for the right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. Expenses related to leases determined to be operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis, while those determined to be finance leases are recognized following a front-loaded expense profile in which interest and amortization are presented separately in the income statement. We adopted this new standard on June 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective transition method. Using the modified retrospective transition method of adoption, we did not adjust the balance sheet for comparative periods but recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings on June 1, 2019. We have elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allows us to carry forward the historical accounting relating to lease identification and classification for existing leases upon adoption. We also elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for the majority of our classes of assets. For leases in which the lease and non-lease components have been combined, the lease expense includes expenses such as common area maintenance. We have made an accounting policy election not to recognize leases with an initial term of 12 months or less on the consolidated balance sheet. The adoption of the new lease accounting standard resulted in the recognition of an operating lease liability of $14.2 billion and an operating right-of-use asset of $14.1 billion, with an immaterial impact on our income statement compared to the previous lease accounting model. Existing prepaid asset and net deferred rent liability balances of $154 million and $309 million, respectively, were recorded to the right-of-use asset. The cumulative effect of the adoption to retained earnings was an increase of $57 million ($47 million, net of tax), primarily related to the reclassification of deferred gains related to sale-leasebacks of aircraft. Substantially all of our lease arrangements are operating leases under the new standard. The new standard had a material impact on our balance sheet, but did not materially impact consolidated operating results and had no impact on operating cash flows. See “Leases” and Note 8 for . In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02 that permits companies to reclassify the income tax effect of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) on items within Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) to retained earnings. We adopted this new standard on June 1, 2019. New Accounting Standards and Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 that changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. We will adopt this standard effective June 1, 2020 (fiscal 2021). This standard will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15 that reduces the complexity of accounting for costs of implementing a cloud computing service arrangement and aligns the accounting for capitalizing implementation costs of hosting arrangements, regardless of whether they convey a license to the hosted software. We will adopt this standard effective June 1, 2020 (fiscal 2021) and apply these changes prospectively. This new guidance will have a minimal impact on our financial reporting. I n December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 , which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application . This standard is effective June 1, 2021 (fiscal 2022). We are currently evaluating the impact of this new standard but do no t currently expect it will have a material impact on our consolidated financi al statements and related disclosures . In March 2020, the SEC amended Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X regarding financial disclosure requirements for registered debt offerings involving subsidiaries as either issuers or guarantors and affiliates whose securities are pledged as collateral. This new guidance narrows the circumstances that require separate financial statements of subsidiary issuers and guarantors and streamlines the alternative disclosures required in lieu of those statements. This rule is effective January 4, 2021 (fiscal 2021) with earlier adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this new rule on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. |

401(k) plan description | During the second quarter of 2020, we announced the closing of our U.S.-based defined benefit pension plans to new non-union employees hired on or after January 1, 2020. We will introduce an all 401(k) plan retirement benefit structure for eligible employees with a higher company match of up to 8% across all U.S.-based operating companies. During 2020, current eligible employees under the Portable Pension Account (PPA) pension formula will be given a one-time option to continue to be eligible for pension compensation credits under the existing PPA formula and remain in the existing 401(k) plan with its match of up to 3.5%, or to cease receiving compensation credits under the pension plan and move to the new 401(k) plan with the higher match of up to 8%. Changes to the new 401(k) plan structure become effective beginning January 1, 2021. While this new program will provide employees greater flexibility and reduce our long-term pension costs, it will not have a material impact on current or near-term financial results. | |
