The Total Consideration for each series of Notes does not include the applicable Accrued Interest (as defined below), which will be payable in addition to the applicable Total Consideration. (2) Rounded to the nearest hundredth of one percent. The early tender date for the Tender Offers was 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 15, 2026 (the “Early Tender Date”). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, Starbucks will accept for purchase up to the Aggregate Cap, the Maximum Amounts and the Tender Sub Cap Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Date as shown in the table above. Starbucks has elected to exercise its right to have an early settlement. The date for payment in respect of such Notes will be May 20, 2026 (the “Early Settlement Date”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, Holders whose Notes were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to or at the Early Tender Date and that are accepted for purchase will receive the applicable Total Consideration, as set forth in the table above, for each $1,000 principal amount of such Notes in cash on the Early Settlement Date. In addition to the Total Consideration, all Holders of Notes accepted for purchase will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on Notes validly tendered, not validly withdrawn and accepted for purchase from the applicable last interest payment date up to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date (“Accrued Interest”), payable on the Early Settlement Date. Because the aggregate purchase price of the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Early Tender Date exceeds the Aggregate Cap and Maximum Amounts and the aggregate principal amount of 2048 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Early Date exceeds the Tender Sub Cap, the Notes will be accepted for purchase subject to the Acceptance Priority Levels and proration factors set forth in the table above and, in each case, as described in the Offer to Purchase. The Company will accept for purchase the aggregate principal amount of each series of the Notes that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Early Tender Date as set forth in the table above. The Notes that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Early Tender Date and are accepted for purchase will be cancelled by the Company on the Early Settlement Date and will no longer remain outstanding obligations of the Company. The Notes not accepted for purchase will be promptly credited to the account of the registered holder of such Notes with The Depository Trust Company and otherwise returned in accordance with the Offer to Purchase. Although the Tender Offers are scheduled to expire at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on June 2, 2026 (the “Expiration Date”), because the Tender Offers were filled by the Early Tender Date, Starbucks does not expect to accept for purchase any Notes that are tendered after the Early Tender Date and before the Expiration Date. The withdrawal rights for the Tender Offers expired at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 15, 2026 and have not been extended; therefore, previously tendered Notes may no longer be withdrawn, except in certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law (as determined by the Company). The Tender Offers are subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions as set forth in the Offer to Purchase. The Company reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to (i) waive any and all conditions to any of the Tender Offers, (ii) extend or terminate any of the Tender Offers, (iii) increase or decrease the Aggregate Cap, (iv) increase or decrease either of the Maximum Amounts, (v) increase or decrease the Tender Sub Cap or (vi) otherwise amend any of the Tender Offers in any respect. The Company may take any action described in clauses (i) through (vi) above with respect to one or more Tender Offers without having to do so for all Tender Offers. Holders should refer to the Offer to Purchase for the complete terms and conditions for the Tender Offers. The Company has retained (i) Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC as Lead Dealer Managers, (ii) BofA Securities, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC as Co-Dealer Managers and (iii) D.F. King & Co., Inc. as the Tender and Information Agent, in each case, in connection with the Tender Offers.

The Pool 2 Maximum Amount of $700,000,000 represents the maximum Aggregate Purchase Price of Pool 2 Notes that the Company is offering to purchase in the Pool 2 Tender Offers. (2) Subject to the Aggregate Cap, the Maximum Amounts, the Tender Sub Cap (as defined below) and proration, if applicable, the aggregate principal amount of each series of Notes that is purchased in the Tender Offer for that series will be determined in accordance with the applicable Acceptance Priority Level (in numerical priority order) specified in this column. (3) The Tender Offer with respect to the 4.500% Senior Notes due 2048 (the “2048 Notes”) will be subject to an aggregate principal amount sublimit of $200,000,000 (the “Tender Sub Cap”). Pursuant to the terms of the Offer to Purchase, Starbucks expects to accept for purchase, up to the Aggregate Cap, the Maximum Amounts and the Tender Sub Cap for the 2048 Notes and subject to proration, if applicable, the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Early Tender Date in accordance with the Acceptance Priority Levels specified in the table above.

The Total Consideration, as calculated using the Fixed Spread for each series of Notes set forth in the table on the front cover of the Offer to Purchase, includes the Early Tender Payment, and the Early Tender Payment does not constitute additional or increased payment. In addition to the Total Consideration, all Holders of Notes accepted for purchase will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on Notes validly tendered, not validly withdrawn and accepted for purchase from the applicable last interest payment date up to, but not including, the applicable Settlement Date, payable on such Settlement Date.

In accordance with the terms of the Offer to Purchase, the withdrawal deadline was 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time on May 15, 2026 (the “Withdrawal Deadline”). As a result, tendered Notes may no longer be withdrawn, except in certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law (as determined by the Company). The Tender Offers are subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions as set forth in the Offer to Purchase. The Company reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to (i) waive any and all conditions to any of the Tender Offers, (ii) extend or terminate any of the Tender Offers, (iii) increase or decrease the Aggregate Cap, (iv) increase or decrease either of the Maximum Amounts, (v) increase or decrease the Tender Sub Cap or (vi) otherwise amend any of the Tender Offers in any respect.

Starbucks Reports Q2 Fiscal Year 2026 ResultsApril 28, 2026 4:05 PM
Business Wire
Company Delivers Healthy Comparable Store Sales and Earnings Growth
Global Q2 Comparable Store Sales Up 6.2%, Led by Transaction Growth
Q2 Consolidated Net Revenues Up 9% to $9.5 billion
Q2 GAAP EPS $0.45, Non-GAAP EPS $0.50
Raises Fiscal Year 2026 Guidance for Comparable Stores Sales Growth and Non-GAAP EPS
Starbucks Corporation (Nasdaq: SBUX) today reported financial results for its 13-week fiscal second quarter ended March 29, 2026. GAAP results in fiscal 2026 include items that are excluded from non-GAAP results. Please refer to the reconciliation of GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures at the end of this release for more information.
Q2 Fiscal Year 2026 Highlights
Global comparable store sales increased 6.2%, primarily driven by a 3.8% increase in comparable transactions and a 2.3% increase in average ticket
North America comparable store sales increased 7.1%, primarily driven by a 4.4% increase in comparable transactions and a 2.6% increase in average ticket; U.S. comparable store sales increased 7.1%, primarily driven by a 4.3% increase in comparable transactions and a 2.7% increase in average ticket
International comparable store sales increased 2.6%, primarily driven by a 2.1% increase in comparable transactions and a 0.5% increase in average ticket; China comparable store sales increased 0.5%, primarily driven by a 2.1% increase in comparable transactions, partially offset by a 1.6% decline in average ticket
The company opened 11 net new stores in Q2, ending the period with 41,129 stores: 52% company-operated and 48% licensed
At the end of Q2, stores in the U.S. and China comprised 61% of the company’s global portfolio, with 16,944 and 7,991 stores in the U.S. and China, respectively
Consolidated net revenues increased 9% to $9.5 billion, or a 8% increase on a constant currency basis
GAAP operating margin expanded 180 basis points year-over-year to 8.7%, primarily driven by sales leverage and lower store operating and depreciation and amortization costs after classifying assets for Starbucks retail operations in China as held for sale, partially offset by labor investments largely in support of “Back to Starbucks”
Non-GAAP operating margin expanded 120 basis points year-over-year to 9.4%, or 110 basis points on a constant currency basis
Effective tax rate of 29.8% compared to 23.5% in the prior year, with the increase primarily due to the impact of reorganizing certain entities in China, the $8 million discrete increase to the change in indefinite reinvestment assertions as a result of classifying our Starbucks retail operations in China as held for sale in the first quarter of 2026, and the effect of higher pre-tax earnings and the proportionate impacts from certain permanent differences and discrete items
Non-GAAP effective tax rate increased 340 basis points to 27.1%
GAAP earnings per share of $0.45 increased 32% over prior year
Non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.50 expanded 22% over prior year, including on a constant currency basis
“Our second quarter marked the turn in our turnaround as our Back to Starbucks plan drove both top and bottom line growth,” commented Brian Niccol, chairman and chief executive officer. “This is the Starbucks our customers deserve and the Starbucks we believe will deliver long-term growth and value for our partners and shareholders as we execute consistently, at-scale.”
“We’ve been clear that topline improvement would come first, with earnings growth to follow. We have more work to do, but we're pleased to see the combination of our comp growth and cost discipline starting to show up in margins,” commented Cathy Smith, chief financial officer.

Includes the impact of 7 stores closed in Q2 FY26 as part of our “Back to Starbucks” restructuring plan.
Net revenues for the North America segment increased 7% over Q2 FY25 to $6.9 billion in Q2 FY26, primarily driven by an increase in company-operated store revenue due to a 7.1% increase in comparable store sales, driven by a 4.4% increase in comparable transactions and a 2.6% increase in average ticket.
Operating income decreased to $679.9 million in Q2 FY26 compared to $748.3 million in Q2 FY25. Operating margin of 9.9% contracted from 11.6% in the prior year, primarily driven by labor investments largely in support of “Back to Starbucks”, product mix shift, and inflation led by tariffs and elevated coffee pricing, partially offset by sales leverage.

Includes the impact of 55 stores closed in Q2 FY26 as part of our “Back to Starbucks” restructuring plan.
Net revenues for the International segment increased 10% over Q2 FY25 to $2.1 billion in Q2 FY26, primarily driven by an increase in our licensed store business revenue, favorable foreign currency translation impacts, an increase in company-operated store revenue due to a 2.6% increase in comparable store sales, driven by a 2.1% increase in comparable transactions and a 0.5% increase in average ticket, and net new company-operated store growth of 3% over the past 12 months.
Operating income increased to $398.6 million in Q2 FY26 compared to $217.0 million in Q2 FY25. Operating margin of 19.4% expanded from 11.6% in the prior year, primarily driven by lower store operating and depreciation and amortization costs after classifying assets for Starbucks retail operations in China as held for sale and ceasing the related depreciation and amortization, and sales leverage, partially offset by inflationary pressures, primarily driven by elevated coffee pricing.

Operating income increased to $229.9 million in Q2 FY26 compared to $193.5 million in Q2 FY25. Operating margin of 40.5% contracted from 47.3% in the prior year, primarily driven by lower income from the North American Coffee Partnership joint venture relative to segment revenue growth and other product mix shifts.
Company Update
In January, the company hosted its Investor Day in New York City where Starbucks leaders, including ceo, Brian Niccol, cfo, Cathy Smith, and other executive leaders highlighted the company’s turnaround progress, unveiled new coffeehouse innovations, introduced a reimagined loyalty program, and reaffirmed its commitment to be the world’s leading customer service company.
In March, the company launched its reimagined loyalty program with three levels of membership – Green, Gold, Reserve – to deliver more meaningful value, personalization, and engagement in members. This evolution is a key milestone in the Back to Starbucks strategy and has reinvigorated what it means to be a Starbucks Rewards member.
In March, the company hosted its 34th Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Brian Niccol delivered opening remarks, highlighting continued progress in the company’s Back to Starbucks plan and commitments. Shareholders voted in favor of all director nominees, approved the company’s executive compensation on an advisory basis, and ratified the appointment of the company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
In April, the company announced a new incentive rewards program designed to create more opportunities for hourly coffeehouse partners to share in the success of the Back to Starbucks transformation. The program reflects the company's continued commitment to offering one of the most competitive total compensation and benefits packages in the industry.
In April, the company announced the closing of its previously announced joint venture with Boyu Capital to operate Starbucks retail in China, marking a significant milestone in the company's long-term strategy to unlock sustainable, disciplined growth in China. Under the terms of the agreement, funds managed by Boyu Capital now hold a 60% stake in Starbucks China retail operations, while Starbucks retains a 40% ownership interest and continues to own and license the brand and intellectual property to the joint venture. The impact of this transaction will begin to be reported in connection with our third quarter results.
In April, the company announced a plan to open an additional office in Nashville, Tennessee intended to establish a more strategic presence in the Southeast region of the U.S. In March, management approved a restructuring plan to relocate certain functions of our support organization to the additional office.
The Board declared a cash dividend of $0.62 per share, payable on May 29, 2026, to shareholders of record on May 15, 2026. The company had 64 consecutive quarters of dividend payouts with CAGR of 17% over that time period, demonstrating the company's commitment to consistent value creation for shareholders.
Fiscal Year 2026 Guidance
The company updates its fiscal year 2026 guidance (all growth targets are relative to fiscal year 2025 non-GAAP measures unless specified):
Global and U.S. comparable store sales growth of 5.0% or greater;
Consolidated net revenues roughly flat year over year;
Non-GAAP consolidated operating margin to slightly improve year over year;
Non-GAAP earnings per share in the range of $2.25 to $2.45; and
Approximately 600 to 650 net new coffeehouses globally across company-operated and licensed businesses.
Please refer to the section entitled "Non-GAAP Disclosure" and the reconciliation of GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures at the end of this release. Certain projected non-GAAP financial measures cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable effort.
Guidance reflects the retail operations of Starbucks China as a joint venture licensee structure in the second half of the fiscal year 2026. The retail operations of Starbucks China are reported as a company-operated business for the first half of fiscal year 2026.
The company will provide additional information regarding its business outlook during its regularly scheduled quarterly earnings conference call.

Starbucks will hold a conference call today at 1:15 p.m. Pacific Time, which will be hosted by Brian Niccol, chairman and ceo, and Cathy Smith, cfo. The call will be webcast and can be accessed at http://investor.starbucks.com. A replay of the webcast will be available until end of day Friday, June 12, 2026.

Certain statements contained herein and in our investor conference call related to these results and progress towards our “Back to Starbucks” plan are “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws and regulations. Generally, these statements can be identified by the use of words such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “feel,” “forecast,” “intend,” “may,” “outlook,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “will,” “would,” and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties, and other factors (many beyond our control) that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our historical experience or from our current expectations or projections. Our forward-looking statements, and the risks and uncertainties related thereto, include, but are not limited to, those described under the “Risk Factors” and “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections of the company’s most recently filed periodic reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q and in other filings with the SEC, as well as, among others:
our ability to preserve, grow, and leverage our brands;
the impact of our brand, marketing, promotional, advertising, and pricing strategies, platforms, reformulations, innovations, or customer experience initiatives or investments;
the costs and risks associated with, and the successful and timely execution and effects of, our existing and any future business opportunities, expansions, initiatives, strategies, investments, and plans, including our “Back to Starbucks” strategy and our restructuring plan;
the costs and risks associated with, and the successful execution and effects of, strategic changes to our ownership and operating structure, including as a result of acquisitions, divestitures, other strategic transactions or entry into joint ventures, including our joint venture with respect to Starbucks retail operations in China;
our ability to align our investment efforts with our strategic goals;
evolving consumer preferences, demand, consumption, or spending behavior, reduction in discretionary spending and price increases, and our ability to anticipate or react to these changes;
the ability of our business partners, suppliers, and third-party providers to fulfill their responsibilities and commitments and our reliance on certain key business partners and suppliers;
the potential negative effects of food or beverage safety incidents, or product recalls, including any perceived association of our products or brands with such incidents;
our ability to open new stores and efficiently maintain the attractiveness of our existing stores and manage related costs;
our heavy reliance on the financial performance of our North America operating segment and our dependence on the performance and growth of certain international markets;
our ability to operate and successfully expand our footprint in international markets, which is influenced by factors distinct from our North America operating segment;
inherent risks of operating a global business, including changing conditions in our markets; local factors affecting store openings, protectionist trade or foreign investment policies, such as tariffs and import/export regulations; economic or trade sanctions; compliance with local laws and other regulations; and local labor policies and conditions, including labor strikes and work stoppages;
higher costs, lower quality, or unavailability of coffee, dairy, cocoa, energy, water, raw materials, or product ingredients and related volatility;
the ability of our supply chain to meet current or future business needs and our ability to scale and improve our forecasting, planning, production, and logistics management;
the potential impact on our supply chain and operations of adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, or significant increases in logistics costs;
a worsening in the terms and conditions upon which we engage with our manufacturers and source suppliers;
the impact of unfavorable macroeconomic conditions and other factors, including economic slowdowns or recessions, rising real estate costs, supply chain disruptions, climate change and extreme weather events, inflation and interest rate fluctuations, government shutdowns, labor unrest, geopolitical instability, disruptions in credit markets and foreign current exchange rate volatility;
failure to meet market expectations for our financial performance or any announced guidance and the impact thereof;
failure to attract or retain key executive or partner talent;
changes in the availability and cost of labor, including any union organizing efforts and our responses to such efforts;
the impact of, and our ability to respond to, substantial competition from new entrants, consolidations by competitors, and other competitive activities, such as pricing actions (including price reductions, promotions, discounting, couponing, or free goods); marketing, category expansion, product introductions; or entry or expansion in our geographic markets;
evolving corporate governance and public disclosure regulations and expectations;
the potential impact of activist shareholder actions or tactics;
failure to comply with applicable laws and complex and changing legal and regulatory requirements, including in privacy and data protection;
the impact or likelihood of significant legal disputes and proceedings or government investigations;
the unauthorized access, use, theft, or destruction of our data, or of our proprietary or confidential information and the impact thereof;
potential negative effects of, and our ability to respond to, a material failure, inadequacy, or interruption of our information technology systems or those of our third-party business partners or service providers, or failure to comply with data protection laws; and
our ability to adequately protect our intellectual property or adequately ensure that we are not infringing the intellectual property of others.
In addition, many of the foregoing risks and uncertainties are, or could be, exacerbated by any worsening of the global business and economic environment, and new risks periodically emerge. A forward-looking statement is neither a prediction nor a guarantee of future events or circumstances, and those future events or circumstances may not occur. Actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this release. We are under no obligation to update or alter any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
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 generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) results provided in this release, the company provides certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release that are not in accordance with, or alternatives for, GAAP. 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 believes this exclusion contributes to a more meaningful evaluation of the company’s future operating performance and 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 relating to the write-down of certain company-operated store assets and employee severance costs for the reasons discussed above. These expenses are anticipated to be completed within a finite period of time.
Transaction costs
Management excludes transaction costs for the reasons discussed above. These expenses are anticipated to be completed within a finite period of time.
Income tax impact from changes in indefinite reinvestment assertions
Management excludes the income tax impact from changes in indefinite reinvestment assertions as a result of classifying our Starbucks retail operations in China as held for sale for the reasons discussed above. These expenses are anticipated to be completed within a finite period of time.
Transformation costs
Management excludes transformation costs that reflect temporary, incremental third-party professional services incurred in connection with a defined initiative to implement changes to certain processes and operating models. These expenses are anticipated to be completed within a finite period of time.
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, including with respect to consolidated net revenues, operating income, operating margin, and earnings per share, 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.
The company is unable to provide a reconciliation of our Non-GAAP consolidated operating margin growth target to the corresponding GAAP financial measure because the company believes that it would not be possible for it to have the required information necessary to quantitatively reconcile such measures with sufficient precision without unreasonable efforts.

Starbucks Is Back, Turning Momentum Into Long-Term, Sustainable GrowthJanuary 29, 2026 11:30 AM
Business Wire
At its 2026 Investor Day, company highlights turnaround progress, unveils new coffeehouse innovations, introduces a reimagined loyalty program, and reaffirms its commitment to be the world’s leading customer service company
Starbucks Coffee Company (NASDAQ: SBUX) today hosted its 2026 Investor Day, highlighting progress in its “Back to Starbucks” transformation plan, showcasing new coffeehouse and menu innovation, and detailing a financial framework for delivering long-term, sustainable growth.
“Starbucks is back,” said Brian Niccol, chairman and chief executive officer. “Customers are responding to our commitment to world-class service, compelling menu innovation, and marketing that truly resonates. We’re putting the customer at the center of everything we do and setting our partners up for success. We know there’s more work ahead, but we’re confident in our plan and see significant opportunity in the U.S. and around the world.”
During the event, Starbucks leaders offered a deep dive into the “Back to Starbucks” plan, sharing details on progress and momentum and highlighting significant opportunities for growth.
Tressie Lieberman, Starbucks global chief brand officer, shared how the company is driving demand and unleashing growth potential through innovation and by making Starbucks more visible, relevant and loved everywhere;
Mike Grams, Starbucks chief operating officer, showcased how our Green Apron Service operating model is delivering progress in throughput, elevating the customer experience, enhancing coffeehouses and growing the portfolio;
Brady Brewer, chief executive officer for Starbucks International, shared the company’s plan to accelerate global growth with an aspiration to get Starbucks in the hands of as many consumers around the world as possible; and
Cathy Smith, Starbucks chief financial officer, outlined the company’s financial framework through fiscal 2028 and how investments translate into profitable, sustainable growth.
Key updates provided through the investor event include:
A Clear Financial Framework for Fiscal 2028
Starbucks shared a long-term financial framework built on consistent comparable sales growth, disciplined coffeehouse expansion and operating leverage.
In fiscal 2028, the company expects to deliver:
5% or greater consolidated net revenue growth
3% or greater global and U.S. comparable store sales growth
2%-3% consolidated revenue contribution from new stores
Over 2,000 net new stores across the global company-operated and licensed portfolio, including approximately 400 net new U.S. company-operated stores
Non-GAAP consolidated operating margin of 13.5%-15%
Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share of $3.35-$4.00
“Starbucks has enduring strengths and we are building on them,” said Cathy Smith, chief financial officer. “Our financial framework shows how we will translate our ‘Back to Starbucks’ strategy into sustainable, profitable growth and compelling shareholder returns.”
Progress of Turnaround Takes Hold
The company shared early evidence that its turnaround strategy is continuing to gain traction:
In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, Starbucks delivered same-store sales growth in the U.S. and every major global market
Green Apron Service, fully rolled out in North America company-operated coffeehouses, is driving improved service times, higher throughput and stronger customer satisfaction
Coffeehouse “uplifts” are restoring comfort and community - the company expects to add more than 25,000 café seats across the U.S. by the end of fiscal 2026
“Great execution creates better experiences, which drives repeat visits and fuels growth,” said Mike Grams, chief operating officer. “Connection and convenience are not tradeoffs at Starbucks - we deliver both.”
A Reimagined Starbucks Rewards Experience
Starbucks announced a reimagined Starbucks Rewards program launching March 10, introducing three levels - Green, Gold and Reserve - designed to deliver meaningful value, personalization and engagement for members.
Key features include:
Faster Star earning as spending increases
New benefits at every level, including free monthly customizations
Stars that never expire for Gold and Reserve members
Exclusive experiences and merchandise for the most loyal members
“Our Rewards program is strong - and we’re building from a position of leadership,” said Tressie Lieberman, global chief brand officer. “Through the filter of member feedback, revenue, and efficiency, we identified clear actions to unlock the next generation of loyalty.”
With Starbucks Rewards driving nearly 60% of U.S. company-operated revenue in fiscal 2025, the company emphasized that small increases in member engagement could unlock significant incremental revenue.
A Robust Innovation Pipeline Across Dayparts
Starbucks also outlined a disciplined menu innovation strategy to win across all dayparts.
“From brewed coffee to macchiatos, our morning loyalists love the rich and wonderful ritual of their Starbucks order. They rely on us to start their day,” Lieberman said. “We see an opportunity to own a new occasion in the afternoon. An afternoon reset. A culture-shaping ritual that Starbucks is perfectly poised to define and own.”
Lieberman shared the company will continue winning the morning while it works to create a new peak in the afternoon.
Menu innovation highlights include:
New espresso, matcha and chai beverages, including Ube launching this spring
Introduction of premium customizable chai
Expansion of the Refreshers platform with Energy Refreshers
Continued growth in cold beverages, customization and protein-forward offerings
New globally inspired bakery and food items arriving this year
“We’re not chasing trends,” Lieberman said. “We’re building on a beloved platform and never giving customers a reason to go anywhere else.”
Building an Operational Powerhouse
Grams detailed how Starbucks is becoming a more consistent, customer centric, coffeehouse-first operating company through Green Apron Service, which includes targeted investments in partners, equipment and technology.
Key initiatives include:
Smart Queue to intelligently sequence café, mobile, drive thru and delivery orders, ensuring timely service across all channels
Leveraging artificial intelligence to support partners, including supply chain and scheduling tools
Next-generation espresso equipment like the proprietary Mastrena 3 to unlock additional growth
These initiatives continue to drive faster service while enabling partners to focus on coffee craft and customer connection. Peak throughput increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 to less than four minutes on average across café and drive-thru coffeehouses.
“Growth doesn’t require us to become something new, it requires us to be exceptionally good at who we already are,” said Grams. “Throughput is a durable competitive advantage.”
Accelerating Global Growth
The company outlined long term opportunities for growth beyond fiscal 2028 around the world.
Highlights include:
Up to 5,000 new coffeehouse opportunities across the U.S. alone, and, as average unit volumes grow, that number could double over time
Double its international coffeehouse footprint over time, approaching 40,000 locations outside the U.S., driven by achieving between 15,000 to 20,000 new coffeehouses in China
Accelerate international licensed store growth, with international coffeehouses expected to grow at double the rate of North America
“Even with our scale, the U.S. coffeehouse growth opportunity for Starbucks is big and broad,” said Grams. “In fiscal 2028, we expect to ramp to build about 400 net-new coffeehouses across our U.S. company-operated business - with discipline and purpose.”
Starbucks also highlighted its China joint venture with Boyu Capital, shifting the market to a licensed model while retaining a 40% stake.
“The role of our international business is very clear,” said Brady Brewer, chief executive officer - Starbucks International. “We are an asset-light growth driver for Starbucks that increases Starbucks margins.”
Positioned for What’s Next
As the company closed Investor Day, leadership emphasized that momentum is building.
“We’re building a business that delivers the best of Starbucks for every customer, partner and shareholder,” said Niccol. “And we’re positioning Starbucks for unrivaled success, global growth, and profitability for years to come.”

Non-GAAP Disclosure
Certain non-GAAP measures contained herein were not reconciled to the comparable GAAP financial measures. The company is unable to reconcile these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts because the company is currently unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the type and extent of certain items that would be expected to impact GAAP measures for these periods but would not impact the non-GAAP measures. Such items may include acquisitions, divestitures, restructuring and other items, which are fluid and unpredictable in nature. In addition, the company believes such a reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that may be confusing or misleading to investors. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the company’s GAAP financial results.

Starbucks Reports Q1 Fiscal Year 2026 ResultsJanuary 28, 2026 12:45 PM
Business Wire
Q1 Comparable Store Sales Accelerate to 4% Globally and in the U.S., Led by Transactions
Company Delivers U.S. Comparable Transaction Growth for the First Time in Eight Quarters
Q1 Consolidated Net Revenues Up 6% to $9.9 Billion
Q1 GAAP EPS $0.26, Non-GAAP EPS $0.56
Company Introduces Fiscal Year 2026 Guidance
Starbucks Corporation (Nasdaq: SBUX) today reported financial results for its 13-week fiscal first quarter ended December 28, 2025. GAAP results in fiscal 2026 include items that are excluded from non-GAAP results. Please refer to the reconciliation of GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures at the end of this release for more information.
Q1 Fiscal Year 2026 Highlights
Global comparable store sales increased 4%, driven by a 3% increase in comparable transactions and a 1% increase in average ticket
North America and U.S. comparable store sales increased 4%, driven by a 3% increase in comparable transactions and a 1% increase in average ticket
International comparable store sales increased 5%, driven by a 3% increase in comparable transactions and a 2% increase in average ticket; China comparable store sales increased 7%, driven by a 5% increase in comparable transactions and a 2% increase in average ticket
The company opened 128 net new stores in Q1, ending the period with 41,118 stores: 52% company-operated and 48% licensed
At the end of Q1, stores in the U.S. and China comprised 61% of the company’s global portfolio, with 16,911 and 8,011 stores in the U.S. and China, respectively
Consolidated net revenues increased 6% to $9.9 billion, or a 5% increase on a constant currency basis
GAAP operating margin contracted 290 basis points year-over-year to 9.0%, primarily driven by labor investments in support of “Back to Starbucks” and inflationary pressures, largely driven by elevated coffee pricing and tariffs.
Non-GAAP operating margin contracted 180 basis points year-over-year to 10.1%, including on a constant currency basis
Effective tax rate of 61.7% compared to 23.6% in the prior year, with the increase primarily driven by the discrete impact of changes in indefinite reinvestment assertions as a result of classifying our Starbucks retail operations in China as held for sale in the first quarter of 2026 and lapping the discrete impact of a tax status change for a certain foreign entity.
Non-GAAP effective tax rate increased 320 basis points to 26.8%
GAAP earnings per share of $0.26 declined 62% over prior year
Non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.56 declined 19% over prior year, including on a constant currency basis
“Our Q1 results demonstrate our 'Back to Starbucks' strategy is working and we believe we're ahead of schedule,” commented Brian Niccol, chairman and chief executive officer. “It's great to see the sales momentum driven by more customers choosing Starbucks more often, and this is just the beginning.”
“With our 'Back to Starbucks' initiatives gaining traction, we have clear line of sight to translating topline strength into sustainable earnings growth that positions us for long-term profitable growth,” commented Cathy Smith, chief financial officer.

Includes the impact of 3 stores closed in Q1 FY26 as part of our “Back to Starbucks” restructuring plan.
Net revenues for the North America segment increased 3% over Q1 FY25 to $7.3 billion in Q1 FY26, primarily driven by an increase in company-operated store revenue due to a 4% increase in comparable store sales, driven by a 3% increase in comparable transactions and a 1% increase in average ticket.
Operating income decreased to $867.0 million in Q1 FY26 compared to $1.2 billion in Q1 FY25.

(2)
Includes the impact of 162 stores closed in Q1 FY26 as part of our “Back to Starbucks” restructuring plan.
Net revenues for the International segment increased 10% over Q1 FY25 to $2.1 billion in Q1 FY26, primarily driven by an increase in company-operated store revenue due to a 5% increase in comparable store sales, driven by a 3% increase in comparable transactions and a 2% increase in average ticket, and an increase in our licensed store business revenue. Also contributing to the increase in revenue was net new company-operated store growth of 4% over the past 12 months.
Operating income increased to $282.7 million in Q1 FY26 compared to $237.1 million in Q1 FY25. Operating margin of 13.7% expanded from 12.7% in the prior year, primarily driven by sales leverage, and lower store operating and depreciation and amortization costs after classifying assets for Starbucks retail operations in China as held for sale and ceasing the related depreciation and amortization, partially offset by restructuring costs associated with the closure of coffeehouses and inflationary pressures, primarily driven by elevated coffee pricing.

Net revenues for the Channel Development segment increased 20% over Q1 FY25 to $522.7 million in Q1 FY26, primarily due to an increase in revenue in the Global Coffee Alliance and higher revenue in our global ready-to-drink business.
Operating income increased to $215.8 million in Q1 FY26 compared to $208.0 million in Q1 FY25. Operating margin of 41.3% contracted from 47.7% in the prior year, primarily driven by mix shift and higher global product costs, partially offset by an increase in our North American Coffee Partnership joint venture income.
Company Update
In November, the company announced an agreement to form a joint venture with Boyu Capital to operate Starbucks retail in China (the "disposal group"), marking a significant milestone in Starbucks ongoing transformation and underscoring its commitment to accelerating long-term growth in one of the company’s most important and fastest-growing global markets. Under the agreement, Boyu Capital will acquire up to a 60% interest in Starbucks retail operations in China. Starbucks will retain a 40% interest in the joint venture and will continue to own and license the Starbucks brand and intellectual property to the new entity. During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we classified the assets and liabilities of the disposal group as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets, which required us to cease property, plant, and equipment depreciation and right-of-use asset amortization of the related long-lived assets, resulting in reduced depreciation and amortization and store operating expenses. We also changed our indefinite reinvestment assertions upon classification as held for sale, resulting in an increase in our income tax expense. The company expects the transaction with Boyu Capital to close in the Spring, subject to regulatory approvals.
In December, the company announced that Anand Varadarajan had been appointed chief technology officer effective January 19, 2026.
In January, the company announced plans to host the 2026 Investor Day, featuring presentations and a question-and-answer session with members of the company's executive leadership team. The event will be held in person and virtually on January 29, 2026, and the live webcast can be accessed at http://investor.starbucks.com.
The Board declared a cash dividend of $0.62 per share, payable on February 27, 2026, to shareholders of record on February 13, 2026. The company had 63 consecutive quarters of dividend payouts with CAGR of 18% over that time period, demonstrating the company's commitment to consistent value creation for shareholders.
Fiscal Year 2026 Guidance
The company introduces the following fiscal year 2026 guidance (all growth targets are relative to fiscal year 2025 non-GAAP measures unless specified):
Global and U.S. comparable store sales growth of 3% or greater, with consolidated net revenues growing at a similar rate;
Non-GAAP consolidated operating margin to slightly improve year over year;
Non-GAAP earnings per share in the range of $2.15 to $2.40; and
Approximately 600 to 650 net new coffeehouses globally across company-operated and licensed businesses.
Please refer to the section entitled "Non-GAAP Disclosure" and the reconciliation of GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures at the end of this release. Certain projected non-GAAP financial measures cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable effort.
To provide the best view of expectations for the underlying business, fiscal year 2026 guidance assumes Starbucks China retail operations remain company-operated in the second half of the fiscal year.
The company will provide additional information regarding its business outlook during its regularly scheduled quarterly earnings conference call.
Conference Call
Starbucks will hold a conference call today at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time, which will be hosted by Brian Niccol, chairman and ceo, and Cathy Smith, cfo. The call will be webcast and can be accessed at http://investor.starbucks.com. A replay of the webcast will be available until end of day Friday, March 13, 2026.
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.

Non-GAAP Disclosure
In addition to the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) results provided in this release, the company provides certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release that are not in accordance with, or alternatives for, GAAP. 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 believes this exclusion contributes to a more meaningful evaluation of the company’s future operating performance and 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 relating to the write-down of certain company-operated store assets and employee severance costs for the reasons discussed above. These expenses are anticipated to be completed within a finite period of time.
Transaction costs
Management excludes transaction costs for the reasons discussed above. These expenses are anticipated to be completed within a finite period of time.
Income tax impact from changes in indefinite reinvestment assertions
Management excludes the income tax impact from changes in indefinite reinvestment assertions as a result of classifying our Starbucks retail operations in China as held for sale for the reasons discussed above. These expenses are anticipated to be completed within a finite period of time.
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, including with respect to consolidated net revenues, operating income, operating margin, and earnings per share, 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.
The company is unable to provide a reconciliation of our Non-GAAP consolidated operating margin growth target to the corresponding GAAP financial measure because the company believes that it would not be possible for it to have the required information necessary to quantitatively reconcile such measures with sufficient precision without unreasonable efforts.
