Summary
FedEx Corporation (FDX) reported its first quarter fiscal year 2018 results, showing a 4% increase in total revenues to $15.3 billion, primarily driven by improvements across all transportation segments. Despite revenue growth, consolidated operating income decreased by 12% to $1.12 billion, and net income fell 17% to $596 million, largely due to the significant impact of the NotPetya cyberattack on TNT Express operations. This cyberattack is estimated to have negatively impacted the quarter's results by $300 million ($0.79 per diluted share) due to lost revenue and restoration costs. Additionally, TNT Express integration expenses totaled $112 million for the quarter. The company's outlook anticipates ongoing, though diminishing, impacts from the cyberattack throughout fiscal year 2018, alongside integration and restructuring costs for TNT Express and potential impacts from recent hurricanes. FedEx expects yield and volume growth to support earnings, with plans to improve FedEx Ground's operating results.
