Company Introduces Fiscal Year 2026 Guidance

Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX) today reported financial results for its 13-week fiscal first quarter ended December 28, 2025. GAAP results in fiscal 2026 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.

Q1 Fiscal Year 2026 Highlights

Global comparable store sales increased 4%, driven by a 3% increase in comparable transactions and a 1% increase in average ticket
- North America and U.S. comparable store sales increased 4%, driven by a 3% increase in comparable transactions and a 1% increase in average ticket
- International comparable store sales increased 5%, driven by a 3% increase in comparable transactions and a 2% increase in average ticket; China comparable store sales increased 7%, driven by a 5% increase in comparable transactions and a 2% increase in average ticket
The company opened 128 net new stores in Q1, ending the period with 41,118 stores: 52% company-operated and 48% licensed
- At the end of Q1, stores in the U.S. and China comprised 61% of the company's global portfolio, with 16,911 and 8,011 stores in the U.S. and China, respectively
Consolidated net revenues increased 6% to $9.9 billion, or a 5% increase on a constant currency basis
GAAP operating margin contracted 290 basis points year-over-year to 9.0%, primarily driven by labor investments in support of "Back to Starbucks" and inflationary pressures, largely driven by elevated coffee pricing and tariffs.
- Non-GAAP operating margin contracted 180 basis points year-over-year to 10.1%, including on a constant currency basis
Effective tax rate of 61.7% compared to 23.6% in the prior year, with the increase primarily driven by the discrete impact of changes in indefinite reinvestment assertions as a result of classifying our Starbucks retail operations in China as held for sale in the first quarter of 2026 and lapping the discrete impact of a tax status change for a certain foreign entity.
- Non-GAAP effective tax rate increased 320 basis points to 26.8%
GAAP earnings per share of $0.26 declined 62% over prior year
- Non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.56 declined 19% over prior year, including on a constant currency basis

"Our Q1 results demonstrate our 'Back to Starbucks' strategy is working and we believe we're ahead of schedule," commented Brian Niccol, chairman and chief executive officer. "It's great to see the sales momentum driven by more customers choosing Starbucks more often, and this is just the beginning."

"With our 'Back to Starbucks' initiatives gaining traction, we have clear line of sight to translating topline strength into sustainable earnings growth that positions us for long-term profitable growth," commented Cathy Smith, chief financial officer.

⁽²⁾		Includes the impact of 3 stores closed in Q1 FY26 as part of our "Back to Starbucks" restructuring plan.

Net revenues for the North America segment increased 3% over Q1 FY25 to $7.3 billion in Q1 FY26, primarily driven by an increase in company-operated store revenue due to a 4% increase in comparable store sales, driven by a 3% increase in comparable transactions and a 1% increase in average ticket.

Operating income decreased to $867.0 million in Q1 FY26 compared to $1.2 billion in Q1 FY25. Operating margin of 11.9% contracted from 16.7% in the prior year, primarily driven by labor investments in support of "Back to Starbucks" and inflationary pressures, primarily driven by tariffs and elevated coffee pricing.

⁽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.

⁽²⁾		Includes the impact of 162 stores closed in Q1 FY26 as part of our "Back to Starbucks" restructuring plan.

Net revenues for the International segment increased 10% over Q1 FY25 to $2.1 billion in Q1 FY26, primarily driven by an increase in company-operated store revenue due to a 5% increase in comparable store sales, driven by a 3% increase in comparable transactions and a 2% increase in average ticket, and an increase in our licensed store business revenue. Also contributing to the increase in revenue was net new company-operated store growth of 4% over the past 12 months.

Operating income increased to $282.7 million in Q1 FY26 compared to $237.1 million in Q1 FY25. Operating margin of 13.7% expanded from 12.7% in the prior year, primarily driven by sales leverage, and lower store operating and depreciation and amortization costs after classifying assets for Starbucks retail operations in China as held for sale and ceasing the related depreciation and amortization, partially offset by restructuring costs associated with the closure of coffeehouses and inflationary pressures, primarily driven by elevated coffee pricing.

Q1 Channel Development Segment Results

	Quarter Ended		Change (%)
($ in millions)	Dec 28, 2025	Dec 29, 2024	Change (%)
Net revenues	$522.7	$436.3	20%
Operating Income	$215.8	$208.0	4%
Operating Margin	41.3%	47.7%	(640) bps

Net revenues for the Channel Development segment increased 20% over Q1 FY25 to $522.7 million in Q1 FY26, primarily due to an increase in revenue in the Global Coffee Alliance and higher revenue in our global ready-to-drink business.

Operating income increased to $215.8 million in Q1 FY26 compared to $208.0 million in Q1 FY25. Operating margin of 41.3% contracted from 47.7% in the prior year, primarily driven by mix shift and higher global product costs, partially offset by an increase in our North American Coffee Partnership joint venture income.

Company Update

In November, the company announced an agreement to form a joint venture with Boyu Capital to operate Starbucks retail in China (the "disposal group"), marking a significant milestone in Starbucks ongoing transformation and underscoring its commitment to accelerating long-term growth in one of the company's most important and fastest-growing global markets. Under the agreement, Boyu Capital will acquire up to a 60% interest in Starbucks retail operations in China. Starbucks will retain a 40% interest in the joint venture and will continue to own and license the Starbucks brand and intellectual property to the new entity. During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we classified the assets and liabilities of the disposal group as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets, which required us to cease property, plant, and equipment depreciation and right-of-use asset amortization of the related long-lived assets, resulting in reduced depreciation and amortization and store operating expenses. We also changed our indefinite reinvestment assertions upon classification as held for sale, resulting in an increase in our income tax expense. The company expects the transaction with Boyu Capital to close in the Spring, subject to regulatory approvals.
In December, the company announced that Anand Varadarajan had been appointed chief technology officer effective January 19, 2026.
In January, the company announced plans to host the 2026 Investor Day, featuring presentations and a question-and-answer session with members of the company's executive leadership team. The event will be held in person and virtually on January 29, 2026, and the live webcast can be accessed at http://investor.starbucks.com.
The Board declared a cash dividend of $0.62 per share, payable on February 27, 2026, to shareholders of record on February 13, 2026. The company had 63 consecutive quarters of dividend payouts with CAGR of 18% over that time period, demonstrating the company's commitment to consistent value creation for shareholders.

Fiscal Year 2026 Guidance

The company introduces the following fiscal year 2026 guidance (all growth targets are relative to fiscal year 2025 non-GAAP measures unless specified):

Global and U.S. comparable store sales growth of 3% or greater, with consolidated net revenues growing at a similar rate;
Non-GAAP consolidated operating margin to slightly improve year over year;
Non-GAAP earnings per share in the range of $2.15 to $2.40; and
Approximately 600 to 650 net new coffeehouses globally across company-operated and licensed businesses.

Please refer to the section entitled "Non-GAAP Disclosure" and the reconciliation of GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures at the end of this release. Certain projected non-GAAP financial measures cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measure without unreasonable effort.

To provide the best view of expectations for the underlying business, fiscal year 2026 guidance assumes Starbucks China retail operations remain company-operated in the second half of the fiscal year.

The company will provide additional information regarding its business outlook during its regularly scheduled quarterly earnings conference call.

Conference Call

Starbucks will hold a conference call today at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time, which will be hosted by Brian Niccol, chairman and ceo, and Cathy Smith, cfo. The call will be webcast and can be accessed at http://investor.starbucks.com. A replay of the webcast will be available until end of day Friday, March 13, 2026.

Non-GAAP Disclosure

In addition to the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) results provided in this release, the company provides certain non-GAAP financial measures in this release that are not in accordance with, or alternatives for, GAAP. 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 believes this exclusion contributes to a more meaningful evaluation of the company's future operating performance and 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 relating to the write-down of certain company-operated store assets and employee severance costs for the reasons discussed above. These expenses are anticipated to be completed within a finite period of time.
Transaction costs		Management excludes transaction costs for the reasons discussed above. These expenses are anticipated to be completed within a finite period of time.
Income tax impact from changes in indefinite reinvestment assertions		Management excludes the income tax impact from changes in indefinite reinvestment assertions as a result of classifying our Starbucks retail operations in China as held for sale for the reasons discussed above. These expenses are anticipated to be completed within a finite period of time.

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, including with respect to consolidated net revenues, operating income, operating margin, and earnings per share, 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.

The company is unable to provide a reconciliation of our Non-GAAP consolidated operating margin growth target to the corresponding GAAP financial measure because the company believes that it would not be possible for it to have the required information necessary to quantitatively reconcile such measures with sufficient precision without unreasonable efforts.
