“I am very pleased with our strong finish to fiscal 2020, underpinned by a faster-than-expected recovery in our two lead growth markets, the U.S. and China. These results demonstrate the continued strength and relevance of our brand, the effectiveness of the actions we’ve taken to adapt to meaningful changes in consumer behavior and the extraordinary efforts of our green apron partners to serve our customers and communities in challenging circumstances,” said Kevin Johnson, president and ceo.

“The guiding principles we established at the onset of the pandemic, combined with our industry-leading digital platform and our ability to innovate rapidly, continue to fuel our recovery and provide confidence in a robust operating outlook for fiscal 2021. Our strategies are working and I am optimistic that we will emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic as a stronger and more resilient company,” concluded Johnson.

Q4 Americas Segment Results

	Quarter Ended				Change (%)
($ in millions)	Sep 27, 2020		Sep 29, 2019
Comparable Store Sales Growth (1)	(9)%		6%
Change in Transactions	(25)%		3%
Change in Ticket	21%		3%
Store Count	18,354		18,067		2%
Revenues	$4,232.9		$4,651.4		(9)%
Operating Income	$510.3		$938.9		(46)%
Operating Margin	12.1%		20.2%		(810) 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 due to the COVID-19 outbreak remain in comparable store sales while stores identified for permanent closure have been removed.

Net revenues for the Americas segment of $4.2 billion in Q4 FY20 were 9% lower relative to Q4 FY19, primarily due to a 9% decrease in comparable store sales as well as lower product sales to and royalty revenues from our licensees as a result of lost sales related to the COVID-19 outbreak. These decreases were slightly offset by 287 net new store openings, or 2% store growth, over the past 12 months.

The Americas segment reported operating income of $510.3 million in Q4 FY20, compared to $938.9 million in Q4 FY19. Operating margin of 12.1% contracted 810 basis points, primarily due to expenses relating to the Americas store portfolio optimization, the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak including sales deleverage and additional costs incurred, as well as growth in retail partner wages and benefits, partially offset by labor efficiency.

Q4 International Segment Results

(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 due to the COVID-19 outbreak remain in comparable store sales while stores identified for permanent closure have been removed. Comparable store sales include a 2% benefit related to a temporary value-added tax exemption in China.

Net revenues for the International segment of $1.5 billion in Q4 FY20 were 5% lower relative to Q4 FY19, primarily due to a 10% decrease in comparable store sales as well as lower product sales to and royalty revenues from our international licensees as a result of lost sales related to the COVID-19 outbreak. These decreases were partially offset by 1,117 net new store openings, or 8% store growth, over the past 12 months.

The International segment reported operating income of $179.5 million in Q4 FY20 compared to $262.7 million in Q4 FY19. Operating margin contracted 470 basis points to 12.0%, primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, mainly sales deleverage and additional costs incurred including non-restructuring related store asset impairments, as well as strategic investments, mainly technology and digital initiatives in China and Japan.

Q4 Channel Development Segment Results

	Quarter Ended				Change (%)
($ in millions)	Sep 27, 2020		Sep 29, 2019
Revenues	$464.0		$508.1		(9)%
Operating Income	$197.9		$190.9		4%
Operating Margin	42.7%		37.6%		510 bps

Net revenues for the Channel Development segment of $464.0 million in Q4 FY20 were 9% lower relative to Q4 FY19. The decline was primarily driven by an 8% unfavorable impact of Global Coffee Alliance transition-related activities, including a structural change in our single-serve business, as well as an adverse impact of COVID-19 on the Foodservice business, partially offset by growth in at-home coffee and ready-to-drink products.

Operating income increased 4% to $197.9 million in Q4 FY20, up from $190.9 million in Q4 FY19. Operating margin expanded 510 basis points to 42.7%, primarily due to a business mix shift driven by strength in our ready-to-drink products and the structural change in our single-serve business.

Global Store Status

At the end of Q4 FY20, approximately 98% of our global company-operated store portfolio was open, with 97% in the U.S. and 99% in China, as well as 99% in Japan and 97% in Canada. In the U.S. and China, limited or full lobby seating was available in approximately 63% and 90% of company-operated stores, respectively. As of the end of Q4 FY20, approximately 93% of our global licensed store portfolio was open. Within the U.S. and Canada licensed store portfolios, the remaining temporary closures were predominantly in airport, college and university locations.

3. As a part of the company's commitment to 100% ethically sourced coffee, Starbucks announced the new Starbucks Digital Traceability tool. By scanning a code on the coffee bag or entering a serial number, the tool transforms each bag of coffee beans into a digital passport, launching coffee lovers on a virtual expedition to meet farmers, roasters and baristas and to explore coffee-growing regions around the world.

4. As a continuation of the company’s passion and commitment to a more sustainable future, Starbucks joined the new “Transform to Net Zero” initiative as one of nine founding members.

5. As a part of its ongoing commitment to advancing racial and social equity, Starbucks announced several new actions it will take on its journey to that commitment.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain non-GAAP measures included in our press release and in our investor conference call related to these results were not reconciled to the comparable GAAP financial measures because the GAAP measures are not accessible on a forward-looking basis. 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. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the company’s GAAP financial results.

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. Our non-GAAP financial measures of non-GAAP G&A, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating income growth, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP effective tax rate and non-GAAP EPS exclude the below-listed items and their related tax impacts, as they do not 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, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP effective tax rate and non-GAAP EPS are general and administrative expenses, operating income, operating income growth, operating margin, effective tax rate and diluted net EPS, respectively.

Non-GAAP Exclusion	Rationale
Gain on sale of certain retail operations	Management excludes the gains related to the sale of our retail operations in Thailand, France and the Netherlands as these items do not reflect future gains or tax impacts for reasons discussed above.
Restructuring and impairment costs	Management excludes restructuring and impairment costs relating to the write-down of certain company-operated stores and intangible assets. Management excludes these items 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 and amortization of the acquired intangible assets for reasons discussed above. Additionally, the majority of these costs will be recognized over a finite period of time.
2018 U.S. stock award	Management excludes the incremental stock-based compensation award granted in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, and vested in the third quarter of fiscal 2019, for reasons discussed above.
Nestlé transaction and integration-related costs	Management excludes the transaction and integration-related costs related to the Global Coffee Alliance with Nestlé (inclusive of incremental costs to grow and develop the alliance) for reasons discussed above.
Other tax matters	On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into U.S. law. Management excludes the estimated transition tax on undistributed foreign earnings, the impacts of estimated incremental foreign withholding taxes on expected repatriated earnings and the re–measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities due to the reduction of the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate for reasons discussed above.

Non-GAAP G&A, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating income growth, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP effective tax rate and non-GAAP EPS 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.

Certain non-GAAP measures included in this report were not reconciled to the comparable GAAP financial measures because the GAAP measures are not accessible on a forward-looking basis. 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. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the company’s GAAP financial results.
