Sentiment and the balance of points

Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

FedEx Freight Holding Company, Inc. reported revenue of $3.281 billion for the four-month transition period ended September 30, 2026, up 9.2% year over year. Operating income was $383 million, down 6.1%, while adjusted operating income rose 16.4% to $510 million. Diluted EPS declined 43% to $1.54, and adjusted diluted EPS declined 24.6% to $2.15. Revenue growth primarily reflected fuel surcharge revenue, higher weight per shipment, an additional operating day and higher base revenue per hundredweight, partly offset by softer volumes.

For the seven-month transition period ending December 31, 2026, FedEx Freight forecasts revenue of $5.58 billion to $5.65 billion, operating income of $465 million to $485 million and adjusted operating income of $695 million to $715 million. Diluted EPS is forecast at $1.69 to $1.79 before mark-to-market retirement plan accounting adjustments, or $2.80 to $2.90 after also excluding spin-off costs. The company cannot forecast those adjustments, which could materially affect results. As of September 30, cash was $388 million and total liquidity was $1.6 billion. FedEx Freight repaid $100 million of debt ahead of schedule and expects approximately $365 million in transition-period capital expenditures. A 2027 dividend and share-repurchase plan remains subject to board approval.

How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Filing Explained

The recast leaves reported totals unchanged, but its historical data may not reflect results had the company operated standalone.

This 8-K provides unaudited quarterly historical recasts after FedEx Freight changed its income-statement presentation; the company says the change leaves previously reported total revenue, total operating expenses, operating income, net income and EPS unchanged.

The recast moves costs previously listed as Fuel, Rentals, Maintenance and repairs, and some Other into Operating supplies and expenses; remaining amounts previously listed as Other are presented as Insurance and claims and Operating taxes and licenses.

The recast derives from previously issued historical statements and is not a restatement or reissuance; the company says the historical information may not show what results would have been as a standalone company.

less-than-truckload (LTL) technical
"FedEx Freight is North America’s largest less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier"
Less-than-truckload (LTL) is a shipping method that combines multiple smaller shipments from different customers into a single truck, like sharing a car instead of each person driving separately. It matters to investors because LTL affects companies’ delivery costs, inventory speed and reliability, and how efficiently supply chains operate—factors that influence profit margins, pricing power and the ability to meet customer demand.
Transition Service Agreement (TSA) financial
"Transition Service Agreement (TSA) costs as a result of the spin-off"
A transition service agreement (TSA) is a short-term contract used in mergers, acquisitions or divestitures where the seller (or buyer) agrees to keep providing specific operational services to the other party after the deal closes. Typical services include IT, payroll, accounting, HR, facilities, or customer support; the TSA spells out the exact services, performance standards, fees or cost‑recovery method, duration, and how either side can end or change the services. It is temporary by design to bridge the period until the buyer puts its own systems and teams in place and does not transfer ownership of the underlying systems or long‑term responsibility for those functions.

"These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.

These changes have no impact on previously reported total revenue, total operating expenses, operating income, net income, or earnings per share.

FedEx Freight Reports Solid Financial Results for the
Four-Month Transition Period Ended September 30, 2026
Delivered Solid Financial Performance During Inaugural Period as an Independent Company
Achieved Second Consecutive Quarter of Record-Low Claims Ratio, Reflecting Improved Customer Experience
Introduces Positive Outlook for Three Months Ending December 31, 2026
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – October 29, 2026 – FedEx Freight (NYSE: FDXF) today reported financial results for the
four-month transition period ended September 30, 2026.
“Our first four months as a standalone company reflect solid execution across the organization and meaningful
progress against the clear strategic priorities we outlined earlier this year,” said John Smith, president and chief
executive officer, FedEx Freight. “While we are in the early stages of our journey as an independent company,
we are encouraged by the momentum we are seeing across our operational, commercial, and technology
initiatives. Guided by a clear and consistent strategy, we remain confident in the opportunities ahead and our
ability to continue strengthening the business for long-term success.”
Transition to Calendar Year Reporting
This reporting period represents a one-time four-month transition period as the company moves toward a
calendar-year reporting cycle. Results include the month of June and the three months ended September 30,
2026. To support year-over-year comparability, FedEx Freight has published calendarized historical results in an
accompanying Form 8-K and Stat Book that can be found at ir.fedexfreight.com, providing a consistent quarterly
view for year-to-date 2026.

•Operating income of $383 million, a 6.1% decrease; adjusted operating income of $510 million, a
16.4% increase

increase

•Average daily shipments of 88.9 thousand, a 1.4% decrease

Four Months Ended September 30, 2026 Financial Summary
FedEx Freight revenue increased 9.2% year-over-year for the four months ended September 30, 2026. The
increase was primarily driven by the favorable impact of fuel surcharge revenue, higher weight per shipment, an
additional operating day, and an increase in base revenue per hundredweight. These factors were partially offset
by softer volumes.
FedEx Freight adjusted operating income increased 16.4% year-over-year for the four months ended September
30, 2026. The increase was primarily driven by higher revenue, partially offset by performance-based

compensation and merit-related expenses, Transition Service Agreement (TSA) costs as a result of the spin-off,
and planned higher costs to operate the standalone business, primarily related to information technology.
“The operational, commercial, and technology progress we achieved during the period is beginning to translate
into tangible financial results,” said Marshall Witt, chief financial officer, FedEx Freight. “Underlying
performance was largely in line with our expectations as our initiatives are strengthening the foundation for
improved growth and profitability. We have updated our transition period outlook to reflect fuel tailwinds and
slightly higher volume assumptions, and we remain confident in the base business as we approach 2027.” 
Capital Allocation Priorities
FedEx Freight maintains a disciplined approach to capital allocation, prioritizing an investment-grade balance
sheet, steady investment in the business, and returning capital to shareholders. As of September 30, 2026, FedEx
Freight had $388 million of cash and cash equivalents and total liquidity of $1.6 billion, supporting financial
flexibility to execute its strategic priorities. During the period, the company repaid $100 million of outstanding debt
ahead of schedule with cash generated from operations.
Capital expenditures for the four months ended September 30, 2026 were $151 million, and the company expects
aggregate capital expenditures for the Transition Period (June 1 through December 31, 2026) to total
approximately $365 million. Capital expenditures will be focused on investments in equipment, technology, and
facilities that support safety, service, and operational efficiency.
The company remains committed to returning capital to shareholders and is on track to announce its dividend and
share repurchase plan for calendar year 2027, subject to board approval.
Outlook 
FedEx Freight is unable to forecast the mark-to-market (MTM) retirement plan accounting adjustments for the
Transition Period. As a result, FedEx Freight is unable to provide a Transition Period earnings per share (EPS) or
effective tax rate (ETR) outlook on a GAAP basis and is relying on the exemption provided by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC). It is reasonably possible that the Transition Period MTM retirement plan
accounting adjustments could have a material effect on the Transition Period consolidated financial results and
ETR.
For the Transition Period, FedEx Freight is now forecasting:
•Revenue of $5.58 billion to $5.65 billion, which is above the original guidance of a 4% to 6%
revenue growth rate; 
•Operating income of $465 million to $485 million, compared to the prior forecast of $475
million to $515 million;
•Adjusted operating income of $695 million to $715 million, compared to the prior forecast of
$605 million to $645 million;
•Operating margin of 8.3% to 8.6%, compared to the prior forecast of 9.0% to 9.5%;
•Adjusted operating margin of 12.5% to 12.7%, compared to the prior forecast of 11.5% to
12.0%;
•Interest expense of approximately $130 million, compared to the prior forecast of
approximately $135 million;
•An ETR of approximately 27% before the MTM retirement plan accounting adjustments,
compared to the prior forecast of 26%;
•Diluted EPS of $1.69 to $1.79 before the MTM retirement plan accounting adjustments, and
$2.80 to $2.90 after also excluding costs related to the spin-off, compared to the prior
forecasts of $1.75 to $1.95 and $2.40 to $2.60, respectively; and
3
mastheada.jpg
•Outstanding diluted share count of 149.9 million, compared to the prior forecast of 149.5
million.
FedEx Freight is also introducing guidance for the three months ending December 31,
2026:
•Revenue of $2.30 billion to $2.37 billion, compared to $2.07 billion for the three months
ended December 31, 2025;
•Operating income (loss) of $80 million to $100 million, compared to ($14) million for the three
months ended December 31, 2025;
•Adjusted operating income of $185 million to $205 million, compared to $162 million for the
three months ended December 31, 2025;
•Operating margin of 3.5% to 4.2%, compared to (0.7%) for the three months ended
December 31, 2025;
•Adjusted operating margin of 8.0% to 8.6%, compared to 7.8% for the three months ended
December 31, 2025;
•Interest expense of approximately $55 million;
•An ETR of approximately 27% before the MTM retirement plan accounting adjustments,
compared to 25.2% for the three months ended December 31, 2025;
•Diluted EPS of $0.15 to $0.25 before the MTM retirement plan accounting adjustments, and
$0.65 to $0.75 after also excluding costs related to the spin-off, compared to $0.39 and
$1.27, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2025; and
•Outstanding diluted share count of 150.0 million.
These forecasts assume the company’s current economic outlook and fuel price expectations, and no additional
economic, geopolitical, or international trade-related developments. FedEx Freight’s EPS and ETR forecasts are
based on current law and related regulations and guidance.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
FedEx Freight reports its results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(GAAP). FedEx Freight has supplemented these GAAP results and its outlook with certain non-GAAP (adjusted)
financial measures, including adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted diluted earnings per
share, revenue per shipment excluding fuel surcharges, and revenue per hundredweight excluding fuel
surcharges.
Management uses these non-GAAP measures in making financial, operating, and planning decisions and
evaluating the company’s ongoing performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to
supplement, and should be read together with, FedEx Freight’s GAAP results. These supplemental non-GAAP
financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the most directly comparable GAAP
measures. Accordingly, users of our financial statements should not place undue reliance on these non-GAAP
financial measures. Because non-GAAP measures are not standardized, they may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures presented by other companies. As required by SEC rules, reconciliations of the supplemental non-
GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are presented below.
Financial Results for Periods Ended September 30, 2026 and 2025
FedEx Freight's three and four months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 adjusted operating income, adjusted
operating margin, and adjusted diluted earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures because they
exclude the effects of costs related to the Spin-Off, which primarily consist of professional fees and other
separation-related costs and which management believes are not indicative of the company’s core operating
performance. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate period-to-period comparisons
and provide useful information to investors by excluding items that are not reflective of the company’s underlying
operating performance.

Yield Results for Periods Ended September 30, 2026 and 2025
FedEx Freight's three and four months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 revenue per shipment excluding fuel
surcharges and revenue per hundredweight excluding fuel surcharges are non-GAAP financial measures because
they exclude fuel surcharge revenue, which is largely driven by fluctuations in fuel prices and may obscure
underlying pricing trends. Management believes these supplemental measures provide investors with useful
information regarding underlying yield performance and facilitate meaningful comparisons of pricing trends
between periods by removing the impact of fluctuations in fuel surcharge revenue.

Three and Seven Months Ending December 31, 2026 Forecasts and Comparative Periods
FedEx Freight's three and seven months ending December 31, 2026 adjusted operating income, adjusted
operating margin, adjusted EPS, and ETR forecasts are non-GAAP financial measures because they exclude, as
applicable, the effects of MTM retirement plan accounting adjustments and estimated costs related to the Spin-
Off. The tables below present the 2026 operating income and operating margin forecasts compared with the
corresponding prior-year results for the three and seven months ended December 31, 2025.

The company is unable to predict the amount of MTM retirement plan accounting adjustments for the three and
seven months ending December 31, 2026, as such adjustments are significantly affected by changes in interest
rates and financial market conditions. Accordingly, these adjustments are not included in the company’s three and
seven months ending December 31, 2026 EPS and ETR forecasts, and a reconciliation of these forecasts to the
most directly comparable GAAP measures is impracticable. It is reasonably possible that MTM retirement plan
accounting adjustments could have a material effect on the company’s three and seven months ending December
31, 2026 financial results and ETR.
Note: tables may not sum to totals due to rounding

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
FedEx Freight reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(“GAAP”). In addition to the financial information presented herein in accordance with GAAP, FedEx Freight presents
certain non-GAAP financial measures, including revenue per shipment excluding fuel surcharges and revenue per
hundredweight excluding fuel surcharges.
These measures exclude fuel surcharge revenue which is largely driven by fluctuations in fuel prices and may obscure
underlying pricing trends. Management believes these supplemental measures provide investors with useful information
regarding underlying yield performance and facilitate meaningful comparisons of pricing trends between periods by
removing the impact of fluctuations in fuel surcharge revenue. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in
making financial, operating, and planning decisions and evaluating the Company’s ongoing performance.
These non-GAAP financial measures are intended to supplement, and should be read together with, FedEx Freight’s
GAAP results. These supplemental non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior
to, the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Because non-GAAP measures are not standardized, they may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. As required by Securities and Exchange
Commission rules, reconciliations of the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable
GAAP measures are presented below.
