SEATTLE; October 30, 2024 – Starbucks Corporation (Nasdaq: SBUX) today reported financial results for its 13-week fiscal fourth quarter and 52-week fiscal year ended September 29, 2024. GAAP results in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 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.

Q4 Fiscal Year 2024 Highlights

•Global comparable store sales declined 7%, driven by an 8% decline in comparable transactions, partially offset by a 2% 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 transactions

•Consolidated net revenues declined 3%, including on a constant currency basis, to $9.1 billion
•GAAP operating margin contracted 380 basis points year-over-year to 14.4%, 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.

“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.

Q4 North America Segment Results
Quarter Ended Change (%)
($ in millions) Sep 29, 2024 Oct 1, 2023
Change in Comparable Store Sales (1)
(6)% 8%
Change in Transactions (10)% 2%
Change in Ticket 4% 6%
Store Count 18,424 17,810 3%
Revenues $6,691.9 $6,900.0 (3)%
Operating Income $1,253.5 $1,601.4 (22)%
Operating Margin 18.7% 23.2% (450) bps
(1) Includes only Starbucks® company-operated stores open 13 months or longer. Comparable store sales exclude the 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.

Store Count 21,775 20,228 8%
Revenues $1,893.2 $1,979.9 (4)%
Operating Income $282.9 $301.3 (6)%
Operating Margin 14.9% 15.2% (30) bps
(1) Includes only Starbucks® company-operated stores open 13 months or longer. Comparable store sales exclude the 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 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 benefits. This contraction was partially offset by in-store operational efficiencies and pricing.

Q4 Channel Development Segment Results
Quarter Ended Change (%)
($ in millions) Sep 29, 2024 Oct 1, 2023
Revenues $465.4 $486.1 (4)%
Operating Income $264.7 $271.2 (2)%
Operating Margin 56.9% 55.8% 110 bps

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.

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.

You should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. 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 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.
