FedEx Express segment revenues improved 3.9% YoY to $6.9 billion due to higher U.S. domestic package volume and international export package yields partially offset by lower freight revenue; FedEx Ground segment revenue improved 8.4% YoY to $3.0 billion primarily driven by growth in e-commerce; and FedEx Freight segment revenues improved 13.0% YoY to $1.6 billion. The Company's Q1 2014 net income stood at $606 million or $2.10 per diluted share, compared to net income of $489 million or $1.53 per diluted shares in Q1 FY 2014.
