Q4 Fiscal Year 2024
Highlights

decline in comparable transactions, partially offset by a 2%
increase in average ticket
- North America and U.S. comparable store sales declined 6%,
driven by a 10% decline in comparable transactions, partially
offset by a 4% increase in average ticket
- International comparable store sales declined 9%, driven by a
5% decline in average ticket and a 4% decline in comparable
transactions; China comparable store sales declined 14%, driven by
an 8% decline in average ticket and a 6% decline in comparable

the company’s global portfolio, with 16,941 and 7,596 stores in the
U.S. and China, respectively
- Consolidated net revenues declined 3%, including on a constant
currency basis, to $9.1 billion
- GAAP operating margin contracted 380 basis points

“As shared in our Press Release last week, our results do not
reflect the strength of our brand,” commented Rachel Ruggeri, chief
financial officer. “I have seen what Starbucks is capable of when
we focus on what we do best. I have confidence in our ability to
turn around our business and expect we will return to long-term
growth,” Ruggeri added.
“It is clear we need to fundamentally change our strategy to win
back customers. ‘Back to Starbucks’ is that fundamental change,”
commented Brian Niccol, chairman and chief executive officer. “My
experience tells me that when we get back to our core identity and
consistently deliver a great experience, our customers will come
back. We have a clear plan and are moving quickly to return
Starbucks to growth,” Niccol added.

effects of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and
Siren Retail stores. Stores that are temporarily closed or
operating at reduced hours remain in comparable store sales while
stores identified for permanent closure have been removed.
Net revenues for the North America segment decreased 3% over Q4
FY23 to $6.7 billion in Q4 FY24, primarily due to a 6% decline in
comparable store sales, driven by a 10% decline in comparable
transactions, partially offset by a 4% increase in average ticket,
as well as a decline in our licensed store business. This decrease
was partially offset by net new company-operated store growth of 5%
over the past 12 months.
Operating income decreased to $1.3 billion in Q4 FY24 compared
to $1.6 billion in Q4 FY23. Operating margin of 18.7% contracted
from 23.2% in the prior year, primarily driven by deleverage,
investments in store partner wages and benefits, and increased
promotional activity. This contraction was partially offset by
pricing, and in-store operational efficiencies.

operating at reduced hours remain in comparable store sales while
stores identified for permanent closure have been removed.
Net revenues for the International segment declined 4% over Q4
FY23 to $1.9 billion in Q4 FY24, primarily due to a 9% decline in
comparable store sales, driven by a 5% decline in average ticket
and a 4% decline in comparable transactions, as well as a decline
in our licensed store business. Another factor was an approximate
1% unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation. This
decline was partially offset by net new company-operated store
growth of 10% over the past 12 months.
Operating income decreased to $282.9 million in Q4 FY24 compared
to $301.3 million in Q4 FY23. Operating margin of 14.9% contracted
from 15.2% in the prior year, primarily driven by increased
promotional activity and investments in store partner wages and

Net revenues for the Channel Development segment declined 4%
over Q4 FY23 to $465.4 million in Q4 FY24, primarily due to a
decline in revenue in the Global Coffee Alliance from SKU
optimization. This decline was partially offset by an increase in
global ready-to-drink revenue.
Operating income decreased to $264.7 million in Q4 FY24 compared
to $271.2 million in Q4 FY23. Operating margin of 56.9% expanded
from 55.8% in the prior year, primarily driven by sales mix shift
and lower product costs related to the Global Coffee Alliance. This
expansion was partially offset by the higher costs in our North
American Coffee Partnership joint venture income.
Fiscal Year 2025 Financial
Targets
As stated in our October 22, 2024 announcement, given the
company’s ceo transition coupled with the current state of the
business, guidance is suspended for full fiscal year 2025. We
believe this will allow ample opportunity to complete an assessment
of the business and solidify key strategies, while stabilizing and
positioning the business for long-term growth. The company will
provide initial information regarding its new strategies during its
Q4 and full fiscal year 2024 earnings conference call starting
today at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time. Our October 22, 2024 announcement
and accompanying prepared remarks from our chairman and ceo can be
accessed on the company's Investor Relations website. The company
uses its website as a tool to disclose important information about
the company and comply with its disclosure obligations under
Regulation Fair Disclosure.

Key Metrics
We believe the company's financial results and long-term growth
model will continue to be driven by new store openings, comparable
store sales growth and operating margin management. We believe
these key operating metrics are useful to investors because
management uses these metrics to assess the growth of our business
and the effectiveness of our marketing and operational
strategies.

Non-GAAP Disclosure
In addition to the GAAP results provided in this release, the
company provides certain non-GAAP financial measures that are not
in accordance with, or alternatives for, generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). When provided to
investors, our non-GAAP financial measures of non-GAAP general and
administrative expenses (G&A), non-GAAP operating income,
non-GAAP operating income growth (loss), non-GAAP operating margin,
non-GAAP effective tax rate and non-GAAP earnings per share exclude
the below-listed items and their related tax impacts, as management
does not believe they contribute to a meaningful evaluation of the
company’s future operating performance or comparisons to the
company's past operating performance. The GAAP measures most
directly comparable to non-GAAP G&A, non-GAAP operating income,
non-GAAP operating income growth (loss), non-GAAP operating margin,
non-GAAP effective tax rate and non-GAAP earnings per share are
G&A, operating income, operating income growth (loss),
operating margin, effective tax rate and diluted net earnings per
share, respectively.
Non-GAAP
Exclusion
Rationale
Restructuring and impairment costs
Management excludes restructuring and
impairment costs for reasons discussed above. These expenses are
anticipated to be completed within a finite period of time.
Transaction and integration-related
costs
Management excludes transaction and
integration costs for reasons discussed above. Additionally, we
incur certain costs associated with certain divestiture activities.
The majority of these costs will be recognized over a finite period
of time.
Gain on sale of assets
Management excludes the gain related to
the sale of assets to Nestlé, primarily consisting of intellectual
properties associated with the Seattle's Best Coffee brand, as
these items do not reflect future gains or tax impacts for reasons
discussed above.
The Company also presents constant currency information to
provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses
performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate
fluctuations. To present the constant currency information, current
period results for entities reporting in currencies other than
United States dollars are converted into United States dollars
using the average monthly exchange rates from the comparative
period rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the
respective periods, excluding related hedging activities. We
believe the presentation of results on a constant currency basis in
addition to GAAP results helps users better understand our
performance, because it excludes the effects of foreign currency
volatility that are not indicative of our underlying operating
results.
Non-GAAP G&A, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating
income growth (loss), non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP effective
tax rate, non-GAAP earnings per share and constant currency may
have limitations as analytical tools. These measures should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the
company’s results as reported under GAAP. Other companies may
calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently than the
company does, limiting the usefulness of those measures for
comparative purposes.
