Rewritten

All of these conditions could fundamentally impact the way we work and the services we provide, and could have continuing adverse effects on our [removed: results of operations, cash flows and] financial [removed: condition.][added: performance.]

Rewritten

- Our financial condition and results of operations are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, a number of [added: macroeconomic and] other factors, many of which are also largely outside our control.

Rewritten

As a retailer that is dependent upon consumer discretionary spending, our results of operations are sensitive to changes in or uncertainty about [removed: macro-economic] [added: macroeconomic] conditions.

Rewritten

[removed: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic or other global health events, we may experience a reduction and/or increased volatility in demand for our products, which may be caused by, among other things: store closures or modified operating hours and business model, reduced customer traffic due to illness, quarantine or government or self-imposed] restrictions placed on our stores’ operations, impacts caused by precautionary measures such as those related to face coverings and [removed: vaccinations,] [added: vaccinations] and changes in consumer spending [removed: behaviors (e.g. continued practice of] [added: behaviors, including those caused by] social distancing, [added: a] decrease in consumer confidence in general macroeconomic conditions and a decrease in consumer discretionary [removed: spending).][added: spending.]

Rewritten

There is also a risk that if negative economic conditions or uncertainty, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or [removed: otherwise,] [added: any other public health emergency,] persist for a long period of time or worsen, consumers may make long-lasting changes to their discretionary purchasing behavior, including less frequent discretionary purchases on a more permanent basis or there may be a general downturn in the restaurant industry.

Rewritten

Failure to meet market expectations going forward, particularly with respect to our operational and financial [removed: results] [added: results,] and [added: expectations regarding the success of our Reinvention Plan and] related guidance, environmental performance and shareholder returns, will likely result in a decline and/or increased volatility in the market price of our stock.

Rewritten

Such incidents include actual or perceived breaches of privacy or violations of domestic or international privacy laws, contaminated food, product recalls, store employees or other food handlers infected with communicable diseases, such as COVID-19, [added: safety-related incidents] or other potential incidents discussed in this risk factors section.

Rewritten

[added: The impact of] such incidents may be exacerbated if they receive considerable publicity, including rapidly through social or digital media (including for malicious reasons) or result in litigation.

Rewritten

Consumer demand for our products and our brand equity could diminish significantly if we, our employees, licensees or other business partners fail to preserve the quality of our products, act or are perceived to act in an unethical, illegal, racially-biased, unequal or socially irresponsible manner, including with respect to the sourcing, content or sale of our products, service and treatment of customers at Starbucks stores, treatment of [removed: employees,] [added: employees] or the use of customer data for general or direct marketing or other purposes.

Rewritten

Furthermore, if we are not effective in addressing our social and environmental program goals, [removed: including] [added: executing on] our [removed: people- and planet-positive work,] [added: Reinvention Plan,] or achieving relevant sustainability goals, consumer trust in our brand may [removed: suffer.][added: suffer, and this perception could result in negative publicity or litigation.]

Rewritten

The ongoing relevance of our brand may depend on the success of our [removed: people-] [added: social] and [removed: planet-positive initiatives,] [added: environmental program goals as well as the success of the Reinvention Plan,] which [removed: require] [added: requires] company-wide coordination and alignment.

Rewritten

[removed: - If] [added: If] our business partners and third-party providers do not satisfactorily fulfill their responsibilities and commitments, it could damage our brand and our financial results could suffer.

Rewritten

However, the product quality and service they deliver may still be diminished by any number of factors beyond our control, including financial [removed: constraints caused by] [added: constraints, adherence to sanitation protocols and guidance (including those resulting from] the COVID-19 [removed: pandemic] [added: pandemic), labor shortages] and other factors.

Rewritten

We do not have direct control over our business [removed: partners, including in their adherence to additional sanitation protocols and guidelines as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,] [added: partners] and may not have visibility into their practices.

Rewritten

These strategic initiatives, which [removed: include] [added: includes] our [removed: profit-, people- and planet-positive visions,] [added: Reinvention Plan,] are designed to create growth, improve our results of operations and drive long-term shareholder value, and include:

Rewritten

- increasing the scale of the Starbucks store footprint with disciplined global expansion and introducing flexible and unique store formats, including the accelerated development of alternative store formats (such as [removed: Starbucks®] [added: Starbucks] Pickup stores, Starbucks Now stores and curbside pickup) especially in light of the COVID-19 pandemic;

Rewritten

- adjusting rapidly to changing customer preferences and behaviors in light of the COVID-19 [removed: pandemic;][added: pandemic, inflation and changing economic conditions;]

Rewritten

- moving to a more licensed store model in some markets and a more [removed: company-owned] [added: company-operated] model in [removed: other] [added: certain] markets;

Rewritten

Our financial results could be adversely affected by a shift in consumer spending away from outside-the-home food and beverages (such as the disruption caused by online commerce that results in reduced foot traffic to “brick & mortar” retail stores); lack of customer acceptance of new products (including due to price increases necessary to cover the costs of new products or higher input costs), brands (such as the global expansion of the Starbucks brand) and platforms (such as features of our mobile technology, changes in our loyalty rewards [removed: programs] [added: programs, the Starbucks Odyssey experience] and our delivery services initiatives); or customers reducing their demand for our current offerings as new products are introduced.

Rewritten

- We may not be successful in our marketing, promotional and advertising plans and pricing [removed: strategies][added: strategies.]

Rewritten

Rewritten

Unauthorized access, theft, use, destruction or other compromises may occur through a variety of methods, including attacks using malicious code, those taking advantage of vulnerabilities in software, hardware or other infrastructure (including systems used by our supply chain), those using techniques aimed at convincing those with access to such data or information to share passwords or otherwise allow access through deceit or otherwise and those taking [removed: advance] [added: advantage] of inadequate account security practices.

Rewritten

[removed: These costs, which could be material, could adversely impact our results of operations in the period in which they are incurred,] including by interfering with the pursuit of other important business strategies and initiatives, and may not meaningfully limit the success of future attempts to breach our information technology systems.

Rewritten

Such failures may be caused by various factors, including power outages, climate change-related impacts, catastrophic events, physical theft, computer and network failures, inadequate or ineffective redundancy, problems with transitioning to upgraded or replacement systems or platforms, flaws in third-party software or services, errors or improper use by our employees or [removed: third party] [added: third-party] service providers, or a breach in the security of these systems or platforms, including through cyber-attacks such as those that result in the blockage of our or our third-party business partners’ or service providers’ systems and platforms and those discussed in more detail in this risk factors section.

Rewritten

If our incident response, disaster recovery and business continuity plans do not resolve these issues in an effective and timely [removed: manner] [added: manner,] they could result in an interruption in our operations and could cause material negative impacts to our product availability and sales, the efficiency of our operations and our financial results.

Rewritten

Rewritten

- [removed: Our] [added: Our] reliance on key business partners may adversely affect our business and operations.

Rewritten

The growth of our business relies on the ability of our licensee partners to implement our growth platforms and product innovations as well as on the degree to which we are able to enter into, maintain, develop and negotiate appropriate terms and [removed: conditions of, and enforce, commercial and other agreements and the performance of our business partners under such agreements.]

Rewritten

If they are not able to access sufficient funds or financing, or are otherwise unable or unwilling to successfully operate and grow their businesses it could [added: have a material adverse effect on our results in the markets.]

Rewritten

The supply and price of coffee we purchase can also be affected by multiple factors in the producing countries, such as weather, [removed: climate change,] water supply quality and availability throughout the coffee production chain, natural disasters, crop disease and pests, general increase in farm inputs and costs of production, inventory levels, political and economic conditions and the actions of certain organizations and associations that have historically attempted to influence prices of green coffee through agreements establishing export quotas or by restricting coffee supplies.

New in FY2022

Risks Related to Human Capital

New in FY2022

Starting in December 2021, Starbucks partners at company-operated stores in multiple jurisdictions across the U.S. began filing for unionization elections and a number of these stores have now successfully unionized, with potentially more to follow.

New in FY2022

These responses could also expose us to legal risk, causing us to incur costs to defend legal and regulatory actions, potential penalties and restrictions or reputational harm.

New in FY2022

Environmental, Social and Governance Risk Factors

New in FY2022

- Our business is subject to evolving corporate governance and public disclosure regulations and expectations, including with respect to environmental, social and governance matters, that could expose us to numerous risks.

New in FY2022

We are subject to changing rules and regulations promulgated by a number of governmental and self-regulatory organizations, including the SEC, the Nasdaq Stock Market and the Financial Accounting Standards Board.

New in FY2022

These rules and regulations continue to evolve in scope and complexity and many new requirements have been created in response to laws enacted by Congress, making compliance more difficult and uncertain.

New in FY2022

In addition, increasingly regulators, customers, investors, employees and other stakeholders are focusing on environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) matters and related disclosures.

New in FY2022

These changing rules, regulations and stakeholder expectations have resulted in, and are likely to continue to result in, increased general and administrative expenses and increased management time and attention spent complying with or meeting such regulations and expectations.

New in FY2022

For example, developing and acting on initiatives within the scope of ESG, and

New in FY2022

[Table of](#ia75cc8f98747496589a1ed7893374c6c_7) [Contents](#ia75cc8f98747496589a1ed7893374c6c_7)

New in FY2022

collecting, measuring and reporting ESG related information and metrics can be costly, difficult and time consuming and is subject to evolving reporting standards, including the SEC’s recently proposed climate-related reporting requirements, and similar proposals by other international regulatory bodies.

New in FY2022

We may also communicate certain initiatives and goals, regarding environmental matters, diversity, responsible sourcing and social investments and other ESG related matters, in our SEC filings or in other public disclosures.

New in FY2022

These initiatives and goals within the scope of ESG could be difficult and expensive to implement, the technologies needed to implement them may not be cost effective and may not advance at a sufficient pace, and we could be criticized for the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the disclosure.

New in FY2022

Further, statements about our ESG related initiatives and goals, and progress against those goals, may be based on standards for measuring progress that are still developing, internal controls and processes that continue to evolve, and assumptions that are subject to change in the future.

New in FY2022

In addition, we could be criticized for the scope or nature of such initiatives or goals, or for any revisions to these goals.

New in FY2022

If our ESG-related data, processes and reporting are incomplete or inaccurate, or if we fail to achieve progress with respect to our goals within the scope of ESG on a timely basis, or at all, our reputation, business, financial performance and growth could be adversely affected.

New in FY2022

- Climate change may have an adverse impact on our business.

New in FY2022

While we seek to mitigate our business risks associated with climate change by establishing environmental goals and standards and seeking business partners, including within our supply chain, that are committed to operating in ways that protect the environment or mitigate environmental impacts, we recognize that there are inherent climate-related risks wherever business is conducted.

New in FY2022

For example, as we noted above, the supply and price of coffee we purchase can also be affected by multiple factors in the producing countries, such as weather and water supply quality and availability, which factors may be caused by or exacerbated by climate change.

New in FY2022

While we believe this geographic diversity is likely to lessen the impact of individual climate change related events on our financial results, our properties and operations may nonetheless be vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change, which are predicted to increase the frequency and severity of weather events and other natural cycles such as wildfires and droughts.

New in FY2022

Such events have the potential to disrupt our operations, cause store closures, disrupt the business of our third-party suppliers and impact our customers, all of which may cause us to suffer losses and additional costs to maintain or resume operations.

New in FY2022

Fiscal year 2022 included 52 weeks.

New in FY2022

Consolidated revenues increased 11% to $32.3 billion in fiscal 2022 compared to $29.1 billion in fiscal 2021, primarily driven by strength in our U.S. business and growth in our International segment excluding China, partially offset by the impact of the extra week in fiscal 2021 ($496 million) and unfavorable foreign currency translation.

New in FY2022

Average ticket for the North America segment and the U.S. market grew 7% and 8%, respectively, primarily driven by strategic pricing and increased demand for food items in our U.S. market.

New in FY2022

The segment also experienced higher costs, primarily related to investments and growth in labor including enhanced store partner wages as well as increased spend on new partner training.

New in FY2022

Also contributing were inflationary pressures on commodities and our supply chain.

New in FY2022

In fiscal 2022, we announced our Reinvention Plan in the U.S. market to increase efficiency while elevating the partner and customer experience.

New in FY2022

We believe the investments in partner wages and training will increase retention and productivity while the acceleration of purpose-built store concepts and innovations in technologies will provide additional convenience and connection with our customers.

New in FY2022

During the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2022, our China market experienced COVID-19 pandemic related restrictions in multiple cities that severely impacted customer mobility.

New in FY2022

Outside of China, strong growth in our major International markets, driven by product innovation and increasing digital capabilities, partially offset the unfavorability in our China market.

New in FY2022

Revenue for our Channel Development segment increased $250 million, or 16%, when compared with fiscal 2021, driven by higher product sales to and royalty revenue from the Global Coffee Alliance and growth in our global ready-to-drink business.

New in FY2022

Operating margin decreased 520 basis points to 44.3%, primarily due to a decline in our North American Coffee Partnership joint venture income due to inflationary pressures and supply chain constraints as well as business mix shift.

New in FY2022

Despite COVID-19 induced business interruptions, especially in our China market, we have seen the strength and resilience of our brand as well as strong customer demand across our portfolio.

New in FY2022

We expect inflationary pressures on commodities and supply chain to continue to a lesser extent in fiscal 2023, relative to the impact on our business and financial metrics, including operating margin, as compared to fiscal 2022.

New in FY2022

Operating margin contraction of 250 basis points was primarily due to investments and growth in labor, including enhanced retail store partner wages (approximately 290 basis points) as well as increased spend on new partner training and support costs (approximately 80 basis points).

New in FY2022

Also contributing were inflationary pressures on commodities and our supply chain (approximately 270 basis points), sales deleverage related to COVID-19 pandemic related impacts in our China market (approximately 110 basis points), business mix shift (approximately 60 basis points) and lower government subsidies (approximately 60 basis points).

New in FY2022

These increases were partially offset by sales leverage across markets outside of China (approximately 390 basis points) and strategic pricing, primarily in North America (approximately 320 basis points).

New in FY2022

Also contributing were investments in labor and inflationary pressures on commodities and our supply chain, partially offset by growth in comparable store sales and lower restructuring costs.

New in FY2022

In April 2022, we announced a temporary suspension of our share repurchase program to allow us to augment investments in our stores and partners.

New in FY2022

We resumed our share repurchase program in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

| Other | | | 2,018.7 | | | | | | 1,770.0 | | | | | | 14.1 | | |

New in FY2022

The growth in company-operated store revenue was driven by an 8% increase in comparable store sales ($1.8 billion) attributed to a 5% increase in average ticket and 2% increase in comparable transactions.

New in FY2022

Also contributing were the incremental revenues from 1,120 net new Starbucks company-operated store openings, or a 7% increase, over the past 12 months ($1.0 billion).

New in FY2022

Partially offsetting these increases was the impact of the extra week in fiscal 2021 ($496 million) and unfavorable foreign currency translation ($368 million).

New in FY2022

Licensed stores revenue increased $972 million, primarily driven by higher product and equipment sales to and royalty revenues from our licensees ($922 million) and the conversion of our Korea market from a joint venture to a fully licensed market in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 ($187 million).

New in FY2022

Partially offsetting these increases were unfavorable foreign currency translation ($81 million) and the impact of the extra week in fiscal 2021 ($57 million).

New in FY2022

Other revenues increased $249 million, primarily due to higher product sales and royalty revenue in the Global Coffee Alliance ($216 million) and growth in our ready-to-drink business ($44 million).

New in FY2022

Product and distribution costs as a percentage of total net revenues increased 190 basis points, primarily due to higher supply chain costs due to inflationary pressures.

New in FY2022

Store operating expenses as a percentage of company-operated store revenues increased 250 basis points, primarily due to investments and growth in labor, including enhanced retail store partner wages (approximately 320 basis points) as well as increased spend on new partner training and support costs (approximately 90 basis points).

New in FY2022

Also contributing were lower temporary government subsidies (approximately 70 basis points).

New in FY2022

These increases were partially offset by sales leverage.

New in FY2022

Other operating expenses increased $102 million, primarily due to lapping a change in estimate relating to a transaction cost accrual ($23 million), higher support costs for our growing North America and International licensed stores ($22 million), transaction costs associated with our Russia market exit ($20 million) and strategic investments in technology and other initiatives ($15 million).

New in FY2022

General and administrative expenses increased $99 million, primarily due to incremental investments in technology ($92 million), increased partner wages and benefits ($59 million) and higher support costs to address labor market conditions ($36 million).

New in FY2022

These increases were partially offset by lower performance-based compensation ($95 million).

New in FY2022

New in FY2022

The Inflation Reduction Act was enacted on August 16, 2022, and includes a new 15% minimum tax on “adjusted financial statement income” beginning with the Company’s fiscal year 2024, and a new 1% excise tax on stock repurchases after December 31, 2022.

New in FY2022

While these tax law changes have no immediate effect and are not expected to have a material impact on our future financial results, we will continue to evaluate its impact as further information becomes available.

New in FY2022

These increases were partially offset by the impact of the extra week in fiscal 2021 ($427 million).

Dropped from FY2021

Fiscal years 2020 and 2019 included 52 weeks.

Dropped from FY2021

For fiscal 2021, comparable store sales percentages were calculated excluding the extra week in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021.

Dropped from FY2021

The fiscal 2021 Latin America and Caribbean licensed store market resegmentation did not have a material impact to prior year North America and International operating segment business trends and operating margins.

Dropped from FY2021

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, certain changes were made to our management team, and our operating segment reporting structure was realigned as a result.

Dropped from FY2021

We realigned our fully licensed Latin America and Caribbean markets from our Americas operating segment to our International operating segment.

Dropped from FY2021

Additionally, we renamed the Americas operating segment to the North America operating segment, since it is comprised of our company-operated and licensed stores in the U.S. and Canada.

Dropped from FY2021

We also made certain other immaterial changes between our International operating segment and Corporate and Other.

Dropped from FY2021

Concurrent with the change in reportable segments, we revised our prior period financial information to be consistent with the current period presentation.

Dropped from FY2021

There was no impact on consolidated net revenues, total operating expenses, operating income or net earnings per share as a result of these changes.

Dropped from FY2021

Consolidated revenues increased 24% to $29.1 billion in fiscal 2021 compared to $23.5 billion in fiscal 2020, primarily due to business recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dropped from FY2021

Also contributing to the increase was $576 million of incremental revenue attributable to the extra week in fiscal 2021.

Dropped from FY2021

Comparable store sales for our U.S. market increased 21% for fiscal 2021 compared to a decline of 12% in fiscal 2020.

Dropped from FY2021

The U.S. market also had a 7% increase in two-year comparable store sales(1).

Dropped from FY2021

We lapped higher costs attributable to COVID-19 in the prior year, including catastrophe pay programs for company-operated store partners (employees), net of qualified tax credits provided by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) and the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (“CEWS”).

Dropped from FY2021

As of the fiscal year ended October 3, 2021, we had substantially completed our restructuring plan, which resulted in the closure of 807 stores in the U.S. and Canada.

Dropped from FY2021

Costs incurred related to the restructuring efforts were recorded as restructuring and impairments on our consolidated statements of earnings.

Dropped from FY2021

In October 2021, we announced plans to deliver retail wage increases across the U.S. in fiscal 2022.

Dropped from FY2021

This investment, combined with industry-leading benefits, supports Starbucks aspiration to remain an employer of choice that can attract and retain the high-quality talent necessary to support our continued growth.

Dropped from FY2021

Comparable store sales for our China market increased 17%, inclusive of a 3% adverse impact from lapping the prior-year value-added tax (“VAT”) benefit.

Dropped from FY2021

Key markets in the International segment continued to experience pandemic-related restrictions that significantly impacted customer mobility during the year.

Dropped from FY2021

Although nearly all company-operated stores in these markets remained open, the modified operating protocols had an adverse impact to comparable store sales and operating results.

Dropped from FY2021

Revenue for our Channel Development segment decreased $331 million, or 17%, when compared with fiscal 2020.

Dropped from FY2021

This was largely due to the transition of certain single-serve product activities to Nestlé beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020.

Dropped from FY2021

This was partially offset by growth in our ready-to-drink business.

Dropped from FY2021

We expect Channel Development to return to more normalized reported revenue growth levels in fiscal 2022, as the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 is the last quarter lapping these transition related activities.

Dropped from FY2021

During fiscal 2021, we began to experience certain supply shortages and transportation delays largely attributable to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as changes in customer demand and behaviors.

Dropped from FY2021

While we expect these shortages and delays may continue into fiscal 2022, we view them to be temporary and do not believe they will have a material impact to our long-term growth and profitability.

Dropped from FY2021

We anticipate the planned wage investment in the U.S., along with increased supply chain costs primarily related to inflationary pressures that began in the latter half of the fiscal year, will have an impact to operating margin in fiscal 2022.

Dropped from FY2021

(1)Two-year comparable store sales metric is calculated as ((1 + % change in comparable store sales in FY20) * (1 + % change in comparable store sales in FY21)) - 1.

Dropped from FY2021

Two-year comparable store sales for the U.S. of 7% = ((1 + (-12%)) * (1 + 21%)) - 1.

Dropped from FY2021

Operating margin expansion was primarily due to sales leverage from business recovery and lapping higher COVID-19 related costs in the prior year, mainly catastrophe and service pay for store partners, net of temporary subsidies from the U.S. and certain foreign governments, as well as pricing in North America in the current year.

Dropped from FY2021

These increases were partially offset by enhancements in retail store partner wages and benefits and, to a lesser extent, increased supply chain costs due to accelerated inflationary pressures in the latter half of fiscal 2021.

Dropped from FY2021

The increase was primarily driven by lapping the adverse impacts of COVID-19 in prior year.

Dropped from FY2021

The growth in company-operated store revenue was driven by a 20% increase in comparable store sales ($3.8 billion), attributable to a 9% increase in comparable transactions and a 10% increase in average ticket, the incremental revenues from 524 net new Starbucks® company-operated store openings, or a 3% increase, over the past 12 months ($782 million), the impact of the extra week in fiscal 2021 ($496 million) and the impact of favorable foreign currency translation ($359 million).

Dropped from FY2021

Licensed stores revenue of $357 million also contributed to the increase in total net revenues, driven by higher product and equipment sales to and royalty revenues from our licensees ($270 million), the impact of the extra week in fiscal 2021 ($57 million) and the impact of favorable foreign currency translation ($28 million).

Dropped from FY2021

Other revenues decreased $256 million, primarily driven by the transition of certain single-serve product activities to Nestlé.

Dropped from FY2021

Product and distribution costs as a percentage of total net revenues decreased 260 basis points, primarily due to sales leverage driven by lapping the severe impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the prior year and pricing in North America in the current year.

Dropped from FY2021

These decreases were partially offset by increased supply chain costs due to accelerated inflationary pressures in the latter half of fiscal 2021.

Dropped from FY2021

Store operating expenses as a percentage of company-operated store revenues decreased 770 basis points, primarily due to sales leverage from business recovery and lapping higher COVID-19 related costs in the prior year, mainly catastrophe and service pay for store partners, net of temporary subsidies from the U.S. and certain foreign governments (approximately 190 basis points) and labor efficiencies (approximately 110 basis points).
