| SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES CONTRACT ASSETS. Contract assets include billed and unbilled amounts resulting from in-transit shipments, as we have an unconditional right to payment only once all performance obligations have been completed (e.g., delivery has occurred). Contract assets are generally classified as current, and the full balance is converted each quarter based on the short-term nature of the transactions. The Company’s contract assets were historically included in the balances sold to FedEx pursuant to the Company’s historical factoring arrangement. On November 30, 2025, the Company’s factoring agreement with FedEx was terminated in preparation for the Spin-Off. Additionally, on November 18, 2025, the Company entered into a True Sale and Assignment Agreement with FedEx, effective December 1, 2025, under which the Company reacquired all outstanding U.S. trade receivables previously sold to FedEx. Refer to Note 12, Related Party Transactions, for additional information related to the Company’s participation in the historical factoring agreement with FedEx. Gross contract assets related to in-transit shipments totaled $149 million at September 30, 2026 and $150 million at May 31, 2026. Contract assets net of deferred unearned revenue were $74 million at September 30, 2026 and $76 million at May 31, 2026. Contract assets are included within “Receivables” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. CREDIT RISK. We routinely grant credit to many of our customers without collateral. We believe the risk of credit loss in our non-factored trade receivables is substantially mitigated by our credit evaluation process, short collection terms, and our broad and diverse customer base. We have elected the practical expedient under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of our accounts receivable. Accordingly, allowances for potential credit losses are updated monthly and determined using historical experience and the impact of current economic conditions. Historically, credit losses have been within management’s expectations. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS. We sponsor defined benefit pension and defined contribution plans covering eligible employees. Defined Benefit Plans In connection with the Spin-Off, effective June 1, 2026 and as a result of the legal split of certain of FedEx’s benefit plans, all eligible FedEx Freight employees transitioned to a newly established, dedicated defined benefit plan. Prior to the Spin-Off, certain of our employees participated in defined benefit pension and post-retirement healthcare plans sponsored by FedEx, which were accounted for under the multi-employer approach. Accordingly, we did not record an asset or liability to recognize the funded status of the plans in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of May 31, 2026. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income reflect a proportionate allocation of net periodic benefit costs associated with FedEx Freight employees’ participation in the multi-employer plans for the three- and four-month periods ended September 30, 2025. We recognize the funded status of each defined benefit plan in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The funded status represents the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the projected benefit obligation. We use “mark-to-market” accounting and immediately recognize changes in the fair value of plan assets and actuarial gains or losses in our results annually in the fourth quarter of each year. The service cost component of net periodic benefit cost is included in “Salaries and employee benefits” and all other components are included in “Other, net” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Defined Contribution Plans In connection with the Spin-Off, effective June 1, 2026 and as a result of the legal split of certain of FedEx’s contribution plans, all eligible FedEx Freight employees transitioned to newly established, dedicated defined contribution plans. Prior to the Spin-Off, certain of our employees in Canada participated in a defined contribution plan sponsored by FedEx Freight, while certain of our employees in the United States participated in defined contribution plans sponsored by FedEx. Contributions in the United States are subject to maximum compensation and contribution limits for a tax-qualified defined contribution plan as prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service. Contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as incurred. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION. Certain of our employees and members of our Board of Directors participated in the stock-based compensation program sponsored by FedEx Freight for the three- and four-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and had participated in the stock-based compensation plans sponsored by FedEx prior to the Spin-Off for the three- and four-month periods ended September 30, 2025. The accounting guidance related to share-based payments requires recognition of compensation expense for stock-based awards using a fair value method. FedEx Freight uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of stock options. The value of awards of restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and performance stock units (“PSUs”) is based on the stock price underlying the award on the grant date. In June 2026, we granted 120,421 RSUs and 118,286 PSUs to eligible employees and members of our Board of Directors both with weighted-average grant-date fair values of $149.69. Expenses associated with our stock-based compensation plans are reflected within “Salaries and employee benefits” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and were $9 million and $3 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $16 million and $5 million for the four-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Expenses prior to the Spin-Off also included an allocation of shared employee costs.
