Today, only FedEx offers dedicated networks for express, ground, freight, expedited delivery and unique trade services – when customers need greater choice and flexibility in managing their supply chains. Only FedEx delivers industry-leading, on-time service levels – when time is literally money. Only FedEx provides the right level of information intensity – when information about the package is still as important as delivery of the package itself. In FY01, only FedEx had the vision to acquire American Freightways – one of the nation’s premier regional, less- than-truckload freight carriers. With the acquisition, we formed FedEx Freight to oversee both American Freightways and Viking Freight. During a period of challenge and change, only FedEx remains focused on a unique business model – to operate each company independently, focused on the distinct needs of each customer segment, but also to compete collectively, leveraging our greatest strengths, the power of the FedEx brand and information technology. That’s why FedEx continues to deliver value for our shareowners, meaningful solutions for our customers and continued opportunity for our employees. 1. Financial Highlights 2. Message from the CEO 6.
