●Initiating Coverage of FDXF. We're launching coverage of FedEx Freight 52-Week Range $150 - $185

(FDXF) with an Outperform rating. While FDXF has materially lagged the Market Cap. (MM) $18,130

other LTLs from a pricing and margin standpoint the past several years, we Enterprise Value (MM) $25,895 Shares Out. (MM) 119.3

expect FDXF will increasingly re-focus on pricing and margin improvement as Avg. Value Traded (MM) $682.54

a standalone public company. In addition, underlying LTL fundamentals have SI% of Float NA

improved materially the past few months with the ISM inflection above 50,

rising TL spot rates and higher fuel prices. Thus, we expect material EPS growth 195190

off trough levels the next few years. 185180

●Pricing Over Volumes. Heading into the spin, FDXF has lagged peers on both 175170

tonnage and yields, and thus it reported by far the worst y/y margin trends 165 160

155 among the LTLs last quarter. But looking ahead, we expect that FDXF will

increasingly focus on pricing and yields as John Smith returns as President & 150145
