- FedEx discussed results from its third-quarter earnings conference call attended by CEO Raj Subramaniam, Chief Customer Officer Brie Carere, CFO John Dietrich, and FedEx Freight CEO John Smith with Freight CFO Marshall Witt participating in Q&A.
- Management raised its adjusted earnings outlook to USD 19.30 to USD 20.10 per diluted share and said the planned spin-off of FedEx Freight on June 1 remains on track.
- Dietrich said the MD-11 fleet grounding reduced adjusted operating income by USD 120 million in the quarter and is expected to be a further headwind of up to USD 55 million in the fourth quarter.
- Subramaniam said FedEx reduced Trans-Pacific outbound capacity by about 15% for purple-tail aircraft and 25% for white-tail aircraft, while assuming broader global demand trends continue into the fourth quarter.
- Witt said FedEx Freight incurred about USD 60 million in separation-related costs that were not adjusted out, and Smith said Freight’s fuel surcharge is typically a net positive above its fuel cost.
