SBUX 10-Q Quarterly Reports

Starbucks Corporation reported its first quarter fiscal year 2026 results, with total net revenues increasing 5.5% year-over-year to $9.9 billion. This growth was primarily driven by a 5.2% increase in company-operated store revenues, fueled by a 4% rise in comparable store sales in the U.S. and a 5% increase internationally. However, the company experienced a significant decline in net earnings attributable to Starbucks, which fell to $293.3 million from $780.8 million in the prior year's quarter, resulting in diluted earnings per share of $0.26, down from $0.69. The decrease in profitability was largely influenced by a substantial increase in income tax expense, significantly impacted by changes in indefinite reinvestment assertions related to the planned joint venture in China. Additionally, operating income saw a contraction due to increased product and distribution costs, elevated coffee pricing and tariffs, and labor investments supporting the 'Back to Starbucks' strategy. Despite the earnings drop, the company continues to execute its 'Back to Starbucks' initiatives, including store closures and organizational restructuring, and is advancing its strategic partnership in China.

Starbucks Corporation reported its third-quarter fiscal year 2025 results, showing a 3.8% increase in total net revenues to $9.5 billion, driven primarily by new store openings and the conversion of licensed stores to company-operated stores. However, the company experienced a 2% decline in global comparable store sales, with a notable 2% decrease in the U.S. market attributed to fewer transactions. This sales dip, coupled with increased investments in "Back to Starbucks" initiatives, labor, and inflationary pressures (particularly elevated coffee pricing), led to a significant contraction in operating margin, down 680 basis points year-over-year to 9.9% for the quarter. The company is undergoing restructuring efforts, including workforce reductions, with additional charges expected in the fourth quarter. Despite the challenging sales environment and margin compression, Starbucks continues to invest in its "Back to Starbucks" strategy, focusing on partner investments, enhancing the customer experience, and launching new product platforms. The company also confirmed its $3.0 billion revolving credit facility remains undrawn and provided an update on its capital allocation plans, including a quarterly dividend payment. Investors will be closely watching the impact of ongoing strategic initiatives and cost management efforts on future performance.

Starbucks Corporation (SBUX) reported its financial results for the second quarter ended March 30, 2025. Total net revenues increased by 2.3% to $8.8 billion year-over-year, driven by the opening of new company-operated stores and the conversion of licensed stores following an acquisition. However, global comparable store sales declined by 1%, impacted by a 2% decrease in transactions in the U.S. market, despite a slight increase in average ticket. Profitability was significantly affected by a substantial contraction in operating margin, which fell by 590 basis points to 6.9%. This was primarily due to deleverage, increased labor costs associated with the 'Back to Starbucks' strategy, and significant restructuring charges of $116.2 million related to workforce reductions in its support organization. While revenue shows modest growth, the decline in comparable store sales and the substantial decrease in operating margin highlight ongoing challenges in driving top-line growth and managing costs effectively.

Starbucks Corporation reported its first quarter fiscal year 2025 results, showing a slight decrease in total net revenues to $9.40 billion from $9.43 billion in the prior year, primarily driven by a decline in licensed store revenues. While company-operated store revenues saw a modest increase due to new store openings and an acquisition, this was offset by a 4% decline in comparable store sales globally, with both U.S. and international markets experiencing similar decreases. The company's operating margin contracted significantly, falling by 390 basis points to 11.9%. This was attributed to deleverage, increased investments in store partner wages and benefits as part of the "Back to Starbucks" plan, and the removal of extra charges for non-dairy milk customizations. Despite these challenges, management highlighted early progress on its "Back to Starbucks" plan, focusing on strategic actions and operational efficiencies to drive future improvements. Net earnings attributable to Starbucks decreased to $780.8 million ($0.69 per diluted share) from $1.02 billion ($0.90 per diluted share) in the prior year's quarter. The company's balance sheet remains solid, with total assets of $31.9 billion and significant cash and investment balances. Starbucks continued to return capital to shareholders through its quarterly dividend, though share repurchases were suspended for the current quarter.

Starbucks Corporation's (SBUX) third-quarter fiscal year 2024 results indicate a slight revenue dip, with total net revenues decreasing by 0.6% to $9.1 billion compared to the prior year. This decline was primarily driven by a 3% decrease in global comparable store sales, influenced by both company-operated and licensed store segments. The company faced headwinds from softening consumer sentiment, inflation, and international conflicts, leading to increased promotional activity and higher investments in store partner wages and benefits. Despite these challenges, Starbucks saw growth in net new store openings, contributing to revenue, and implemented strategic pricing and operational efficiencies to partially offset margin pressures. The operating margin decreased by 60 basis points to 16.7%, reflecting the impact of these factors. For the first three quarters of fiscal 2024, total net revenues increased by 1.9% to $27.1 billion, demonstrating resilience over a longer period, largely due to the addition of new stores. However, the net earnings attributable to Starbucks decreased by 1.9% to $2.85 billion. The company continues to focus on its "Reinvention" plan, aiming to drive demand through new offerings and expand efficiency efforts. Investors should monitor comparable store sales trends, especially in key markets like North America and International, and the impact of ongoing cost management initiatives.

Starbucks Corporation reported second-quarter fiscal year 2024 results showing a slight decrease in total net revenues to $8.6 billion, down 1.8% year-over-year, impacted by a 4% decline in global comparable store sales and unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations. This decline was partially offset by new store openings. Operating income decreased by 17.2% to $1.1 billion, leading to a lower operating margin of 12.8%. The company faced headwinds from a complex global operating environment, including softening consumer sentiment and inflation. Despite the near-term challenges, Starbucks highlighted progress in its 'Reinvention' strategy, which is driving operational efficiencies. The company continues to expand its store footprint, with a 6% increase in total stores year-over-year. Diluted earnings per share for the quarter were $0.68, compared to $0.79 in the prior year. Management remains confident in the long-term growth model and the effectiveness of its strategies to navigate the current environment.

This 10-Q filing from Starbucks Corp. (SBUX) for the period ending December 30, 2023, primarily focuses on insider trading arrangements. Notably, the Chief Financial Officer, Rachel Ruggeri, has adopted a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement to sell up to $900,000 worth of shares, plus additional shares from vesting Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), through various orders planned between March 2024 and August 2024, with a limit price of $80 per share for some transactions. The arrangement includes a termination date of December 3, 2024, and provisions for automatic expiration under certain conditions. Similarly, Michael Conway, Group President of International and Channel Development, has also implemented a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement to sell up to 13,000 shares through orders scheduled from February 2024 to August 2024, also with a limit price of $80 per share. Both executives' plans are intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1(c) requirements, providing a framework for potential stock sales in the future. Investors should note that these are planned sales and do not necessarily reflect a negative outlook on the company's performance, but rather a personal financial planning strategy for executives.

Starbucks Corporation reported strong financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2024, ending December 30, 2023. Total net revenues saw an increase of 8.2% to $9.4 billion, driven by robust growth in both company-operated and licensed stores, particularly in North America and the International segment. This growth was fueled by a 5% increase in comparable store sales globally, with the U.S. market showing 5% growth and international markets achieving 7% growth. The company also demonstrated improved profitability, with operating margin increasing by 140 basis points to 15.8%, attributed to sales leverage and in-store operational efficiencies, despite increased investments in partner wages and benefits. The company continued its strategic store expansion, adding 1,475 net new company-operated stores and 942 net new licensed stores globally during the past 12 months. Net earnings attributable to Starbucks rose to $1.024 billion from $855.2 million in the prior year quarter. The company also returned significant capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases, reflecting confidence in its financial position and future outlook, underpinned by its "Triple Shot Reinvention with Two Pumps Plan."

Starbucks Corporation's third-quarter fiscal year 2023 report highlights robust revenue growth, driven by strong performance in company-operated stores and international licensed markets. Consolidated net revenues increased by 12.5% year-over-year, reaching $9.2 billion. This growth was primarily fueled by a 10% increase in comparable store sales globally, with the U.S. market showing 7% growth and international markets surging by 24%. The company also benefited from the opening of new stores and the recovery in China. Profitability saw a significant improvement, with operating income rising by 22% to $1.6 billion, and the operating margin expanding by 140 basis points to 17.3%. This improvement was attributed to sales leverage, pricing strategies, and enhanced operational efficiency, partially offset by investments in partner wages and benefits. Despite increased interest expenses, net earnings attributable to Starbucks grew by 25.0% to $1.14 billion, resulting in diluted EPS of $0.99. The company also demonstrated strong operating cash flow generation, supporting its financial flexibility and capital return initiatives.

Starbucks Corporation (SBUX) reported solid financial results for the quarter ended April 2, 2023, with total net revenues increasing by 14.2% year-over-year to $8.7 billion. This growth was primarily driven by a strong performance in the U.S. market and a notable recovery in China, which had been impacted by pandemic-related disruptions. The company also saw significant growth in its licensed markets, contributing to a 25.9% increase in revenue from this segment. Profitability also improved, with operating income rising by 37.9% to $1.3 billion and operating margin expanding by 280 basis points to 15.2%. This improvement was attributed to sales leverage, pricing strategies, productivity gains from the 'Reinvention Plan,' and a one-time gain from the sale of the Seattle's Best Coffee brand. Despite these positives, the company continues to navigate increased labor costs and inflationary pressures on supply chains, which partially offset the gains.

Starbucks Corporation (SBUX) reported its financial results for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 (filed February 1, 2023). The company demonstrated revenue growth, with total net revenues increasing by 8.2% year-over-year to $8.7 billion. This growth was primarily driven by a 5.4% increase in company-operated store revenues, fueled by a 5% rise in comparable store sales (10% in the U.S. market), and a significant 31.6% jump in licensed store revenues. Despite the top-line growth, operating margin saw a slight decrease of 20 basis points to 14.4%. This was attributed to increased investments in partner wages and benefits, inflationary pressures on supply chain costs, and sales deleverage in China due to COVID-19 related disruptions. However, strategic pricing in North America and growth in markets outside China provided some offsets. Net earnings attributable to Starbucks increased by 4.8% to $855.2 million, with diluted earnings per share rising to $0.74 from $0.69 in the prior year period.

Starbucks Corporation reported mixed results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2022. Total net revenues increased by 8.7% year-over-year to $8.15 billion, driven by growth in company-operated stores and licensed stores, primarily in North America. However, profitability was impacted by significant headwinds. Operating income decreased by 13.0% to $1.30 billion, and operating margin contracted by 400 basis points to 15.9%. This margin compression was largely attributed to rising commodity and supply chain costs due to inflation, increased partner wages, and sales deleverage in China resulting from COVID-19 related disruptions. The company experienced a notable decline in comparable store sales in China (-44%), significantly impacting the International segment's performance. Conversely, the North America segment showed resilience with a 9% increase in comparable store sales. Despite these challenges, Starbucks is investing in its 'reinvention plan' focused on improving store efficiency and partner/customer experience, signaling a long-term growth strategy. The company also repurchased $4.0 billion in common stock during the first three quarters, though the repurchase program was temporarily suspended in April 2022.

Starbucks Corporation reported its fiscal second quarter 2022 results, showing a notable increase in net revenues, driven by strong performance in the U.S. and new store openings. Consolidated net revenues grew by 14.5% year-over-year to $7.6 billion. This growth was primarily fueled by a 12% rise in comparable store sales in North America, reflecting a combination of increased average ticket and transaction volumes. The company continued its expansion, adding 885 net new company-operated stores globally over the last twelve months. Despite the revenue growth, the company faced margin pressures. Operating margin decreased by 240 basis points to 12.4%, largely attributed to inflationary pressures on commodities and supply chain costs, alongside increased investments in partner wages and benefits. The international segment, particularly China, experienced significant headwinds due to COVID-19 related restrictions, leading to a 23% decline in comparable store sales in that market. The company also announced a temporary suspension of its share repurchase program to reallocate capital towards investments in stores and partners.

Starbucks Corporation reported strong top-line growth in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, with total net revenues increasing by 19.3% to $8.1 billion compared to the prior year period. This growth was primarily driven by a significant increase in comparable store sales across its North America segment and a rebound in licensed store revenues. The company also saw an expansion in its consolidated operating margin to 14.6%, up from 13.5% in the prior year quarter. Despite inflationary pressures, increased labor costs, and ongoing COVID-19 related disruptions impacting certain international markets, particularly China, Starbucks demonstrated resilience and effective cost management strategies, including pricing adjustments. The company resumed its share repurchase program in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, repurchasing $3.5 billion of its common stock, signaling confidence in its financial position and future outlook. While facing headwinds from supply chain issues and increased partner wages, Starbucks' strategic focus on contactless experiences, digital capabilities, and beverage innovation continues to underpin its long-term growth model. Investors should note the continued investment in store partner wages and benefits as a key factor influencing operating expenses, alongside the positive impact of recovering sales leverage and strategic pricing.

Total net revenues saw a significant increase of 77.6% in the third quarter, reaching $7.5 billion, driven by a substantial 84.7% surge in company-operated store revenues. This growth was fueled by a 73% increase in global comparable store sales, indicating a strong return of customer demand. The company also experienced healthy growth in licensed stores and continued to manage its operations effectively, with significant improvements in operating income and margins across its key segments. The company's strategic focus on contactless experiences, digital capabilities, and beverage innovation appears to be paying off. While the international segment faced ongoing pandemic-related restrictions, its performance still showed considerable improvement year-over-year. Furthermore, the company's financial condition remains solid, with substantial cash and investments, and adequate borrowing capacity. The company has reaffirmed its quarterly cash dividend and anticipates significant capital expenditures in fiscal year 2021 to support business growth.

Starbucks Corporation's (SBUX) Q2 2021 filing (period ending March 28, 2021) demonstrates a significant recovery from the prior year's pandemic-impacted results. The company reported an 11.2% increase in total net revenues for the quarter, reaching $6.7 billion, driven primarily by strong performance in company-operated stores, which saw a 15% growth in comparable store sales. This growth was fueled by a substantial 19% increase in average ticket, indicating customers are spending more per visit, although transaction volumes saw a slight decrease. The company's operating income surged by 101.5% year-over-year to $987.6 million, with operating margins expanding significantly due to sales leverage from the recovery and cost efficiencies, partially offset by increased investments in wages and technology. The International segment showed particularly robust growth with a 35% increase in comparable store sales, highlighting a strong global rebound. Despite some revenue declines in the Channel Development segment due to ongoing transitions, overall financial performance indicates a positive trajectory and resilience of the Starbucks brand.

Starbucks Corporation (SBUX) reported its first quarter fiscal year 2021 results, ending December 27, 2020. The company demonstrated resilience amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, with consolidated net revenues declining by 4.9% year-over-year to $6.75 billion. Despite the revenue dip, a key positive was the stabilization of operating cash flows, which remained flat compared to the prior year at $1.8 billion, indicating effective working capital management. Profitability saw a notable decrease, with net earnings attributable to Starbucks falling by 29.6% to $622.2 million, resulting in diluted EPS of $0.53, down from $0.74 in the prior year. This was driven by lower revenues, increased store operating expenses as a percentage of revenue due to sales deleverage and increased wages, and higher restructuring and impairment charges related to store portfolio optimization. However, the company's liquidity remains strong, with $5.0 billion in cash and cash equivalents and $5.5 billion in cash and investments, providing a solid financial footing for navigating the current environment and future investments.

Starbucks Corporation (SBUX) reported a challenging third quarter ending June 28, 2020, significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Total net revenues decreased by 38.1% year-over-year to $4.22 billion. The company experienced a net loss of $678.4 million, or $0.58 per share, a stark contrast to the net earnings reported in the prior year's comparable period. This downturn was primarily driven by widespread temporary store closures, reduced customer traffic, and modified operations across its global store base, particularly in the Americas and International segments. Despite the significant headwinds, Starbucks demonstrated resilience by nearly completing its store reopenings by the end of the quarter and saw sequential improvement in comparable store sales as the period progressed. The company also took proactive measures to manage costs, including workforce adjustments, and benefited from government subsidies. Starbucks ended the quarter with $3.97 billion in cash and cash equivalents, indicating a solid liquidity position to navigate the ongoing uncertainties and support its recovery efforts. Management expressed optimism for a return to profitability in the fiscal fourth quarter, contingent on continued business recovery and the absence of significant COVID-19 relapses.

Total net revenues decreased by 4.9% to $5.996 billion compared to the prior year's quarter, largely due to a 10% decline in comparable store sales globally, driven by temporary store closures, reduced operating hours, and modified store models, including a shift to primarily drive-thru and delivery channels. Despite the revenue challenges, the company highlighted proactive measures taken to support partners (employees), including extended pay and benefits, and efforts to adapt operations, such as enhanced contactless experiences.

From a segment perspective, the Americas and International segments both posted solid revenue growth, with the Americas benefiting from strong comparable store sales and new store openings, while the International segment saw growth primarily from new store additions. The Channel Development segment experienced a slight revenue decline, mainly due to prior year comparisons related to the Tazo brand transition. Management highlighted effective cost management, including supply chain efficiencies and a decrease in restructuring and impairment charges, as key drivers of improved profitability. The company also continued its commitment to returning capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. However, a significant subsequent event disclosed is the impact of the coronavirus outbreak in China, which began in late January 2020, leading to store closures and anticipated material impacts on the International segment and consolidated results for the upcoming quarters.

The company demonstrated robust revenue growth, driven primarily by its company-operated stores, which benefited from increased comparable store sales and net new store openings. This growth was complemented by contributions from licensed stores. Profitability saw a significant boost in the quarter due to a substantial gain from the divestiture of certain operations in Thailand.

Starbucks Corporation (SBUX) reported its first quarter fiscal year 2019 results on January 29, 2019, for the period ending December 30, 2018. The company demonstrated robust revenue growth, with total net revenues increasing by 9.2% year-over-year to $6.63 billion. This growth was primarily driven by a strong performance in company-operated stores, fueled by new store openings and the incremental revenue impact from the full consolidation of its East China business. Global comparable store sales also saw a healthy increase of 4%, indicating continued customer demand. Despite revenue growth, operating income saw a decline of 9.0% to $1.02 billion, resulting in a lower operating margin of 15.3% compared to 18.4% in the prior year. This margin compression was attributed to strategic initiatives, including the licensing of its CPG and Foodservice businesses to Nestlé and the divestiture of the Tazo brand, as well as increased investments in store partners and other operating expenses. The company also benefited from a lower effective tax rate of 21.2% compared to 25.1% in the prior year, largely due to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Significant share repurchases totaling $5.0 billion were executed during the quarter.

Starbucks Corporation's third quarter fiscal year 2018 report shows a strong revenue increase of 11.5% year-over-year, reaching $6.3 billion. This growth was significantly boosted by the full consolidation of the East China joint venture, new store openings, and favorable foreign currency translation. While overall revenue is up, the operating margin experienced a decline of 190 basis points due to increased investments in employees, product mix shifts towards food, and costs associated with anti-bias training. The company also announced a global coffee alliance with Nestlé S.A. to expand its consumer packaged goods and foodservice businesses. Shareholders were returned value through substantial share repurchases and dividend payments. The company's financial outlook for the full fiscal year 2018 projects continued revenue growth, with a moderate decline in operating margin when excluding certain one-time items. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act continues to influence the effective tax rate, providing some benefits while also necessitating a one-time transition tax on foreign earnings.

Starbucks Corporation's Q2 2018 10-Q filing reveals a period of significant strategic shifts and acquisitions, most notably the full consolidation of its East China joint venture. This move substantially boosted revenue growth by 14% year-over-year to $6.0 billion, though it also impacted operating margins due to increased depreciation and amortization. The company is actively executing streamlining efforts, including the sale of the Tazo brand and the closure of Teavana retail stores, which are impacting specific segments but are part of a broader strategy to focus on high-returning businesses. Despite a decline in consolidated operating income and margin, driven by restructuring charges and impairments, the core business demonstrated resilience. Americas revenue grew 8% with comparable store sales up 2%, while China/Asia Pacific saw a substantial 54% revenue increase driven by the East China acquisition and new store openings. The company reaffirmed its full-year revenue growth outlook and provided EPS guidance, signaling confidence in its strategic direction and long-term growth prospects.

Starbucks Corporation (SBUX) reported its first quarter fiscal year 2018 results for the period ending December 30, 2017. The company demonstrated robust revenue growth, up 6% year-over-year to $6.1 billion, driven by a combination of net new store openings and a 2% increase in global comparable store sales. A significant event during the quarter was the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in the East China joint venture for approximately $1.4 billion, which contributed to a substantial one-time gain. This acquisition is expected to bolster future growth in the key China/Asia Pacific market. Net earnings attributable to Starbucks saw a dramatic increase to $2.25 billion from $751.8 million in the prior year's comparable quarter. This surge was largely influenced by a $1.3 billion gain from the East China joint venture remeasurement and other streamlining gains, including the sale of the Tazo brand and divestiture of Taiwan operations. While operational performance was solid, investors should note the impact of strategic streamlining efforts, including the closure of Teavana stores, which contributed to restructuring expenses.
