What was the primary driver of revenue growth in the first quarter?

Revenue growth was primarily driven by a combination of increased revenues from company-operated stores (due to new store openings and comparable store sales growth) and licensed stores (due to increased product sales to and royalty revenues from licensees).

How did operating expenses perform in relation to revenue?

Overall operating expenses as a percentage of total net revenues slightly increased to 81.7% from 81.5% in the prior year quarter. However, cost of sales including occupancy costs decreased as a percentage of revenue due to sales leverage and lower commodity costs. Store operating expenses increased as a percentage of revenue, largely due to investments in store partners, particularly in the Americas.

What is Starbucks' outlook for the full fiscal year 2017?

Starbucks expects consolidated revenue growth of 8% to 10% (adjusted for currency and an extra week in fiscal 2016). The company anticipates operating margin to increase slightly and projects earnings per share to be in the range of $2.09 to $2.11. Key drivers for the year include approximately 2,100 net new store openings globally and mid-single-digit comparable store sales growth.

How is Starbucks managing its cash and returning capital to shareholders?

Starbucks generated $1.5 billion in cash from operating activities. During the quarter, the company repaid $400 million in senior notes, paid $364 million in dividends, and repurchased $413.7 million of its common stock. The company also has a $1.5 billion unsecured, revolving credit facility and a $1 billion commercial paper program available for liquidity needs.
