Cargo giant FedEx Corporation (NYSE: FDX) Thursday reported a decline in third-quarter adjusted earnings, hurt by a 6% dip in revenues. The company also provided guidance for fiscal 2023.
Net income, adjusted for special items, dropped to $3.41 per share in the most recent quarter from $4.59 per share in the year-ago period. Unadjusted profit declined to $771 million or $3.05 per share from $1.11 billion or $4.20 per share a year earlier.
Total revenues decreased 6% year-over-year to $22.2 billion during the three-month period. The results were constrained by continued demand weakness, particularly at FedEx Express.
