| Business Segments and Disaggregated Revenue |
NOTE 15: BUSINESS SEGMENTS AND DISAGGREGATED REVENUE
FedEx Express, FedEx Ground and FedEx Freight represent our major service lines and, along with FedEx Services, constitute our reportable segments. Our reportable segments include the following businesses:
|
FedEx Express Segment |
FedEx Express (express transportation, small-package ground delivery and freight transportation) |
|
|
FedEx Custom Critical, Inc. (“FedEx Custom Critical”) (time-critical transportation)
FedEx Cross Border Holdings, Inc. (“FedEx Cross Border”) (cross-border e-commerce technology and e-commerce transportation solutions) |
|
|
|
|
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) |
Effective March 1, 2020, the results of FedEx Custom Critical are included in the FedEx Express segment prospectively as the impact to prior periods was not material. This change was made to reflect our internal management reporting structure.
Effective June 1, 2020, the results of FedEx Cross Border are included in the FedEx Express segment prospectively as the impact to prior periods was not material. This change was made to reflect our internal management reporting structure.
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.
Other Intersegment Transactions
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, including certain costs associated with developing our innovate digitally strategic pillar. These costs are not allocated to the other business segments.
Also included in Corporate and other are 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, customs brokerage and global ocean and air freight forwarding. Additionally, Corporate and other includes the financial results of ShopRunner beginning December 23, 2020.
Certain FedEx operating companies provide transportation and related services for other FedEx companies outside their reportable segment in order to optimize our resources. 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, depreciation and amortization, operating income (loss) and segment assets to consolidated financial statement totals (in millions) for the years ended or as of May 31:
