FedEx Corporation (Memphis) reported earnings of $1.20 per diluted share for the first quarter ended August 31, up 107% from $0.58 per diluted share a year ago.
The corporation reported net income of $380 million, up 110% from $181 million a year ago.
Earnings increased as a result of strong FedEx International Priority® (IP) growth at FedEx Express, continued growth at FedEx Ground and a benefit from the net impact of higher fuel surcharges. The reinstatement of certain employee compensation programs, higher pension, medical and aircraft maintenance expenses, and an operating loss at FedEx Freight dampened the quarter’s solid results.
