"Back to Starbucks" Strategy Building Momentum with Flat U.S. Comparable Store Sales in Q4 and September Turning Positive

Q4 Consolidated Net Revenues Up 5% to $9.6 Billion

Q4 GAAP EPS $0.12, Non-GAAP EPS $0.52

Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX) today reported financial results for its 13-week fiscal fourth quarter and 52-week fiscal year ended September 28, 2025. GAAP results in fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2024 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.

Q4 Fiscal Year 2025 Highlights

Global comparable store sales increased 1%, primarily driven by a 1% increase in comparable transactions
- North America and U.S. comparable store sales were flat, driven by a 1% increase in average ticket, offset by a 1% decline in comparable transactions;
- International comparable store sales increased 3%, driven by a 6% increase in comparable transactions, partially offset by a 3% decline in average ticket; China comparable store sales increased 2%, driven by a 9% increase in comparable transactions, partially offset by a 7% decline in average ticket
The company had 107 net store closures in Q4, ending the period with 40,990 stores. This included 627 stores closed as part of our restructuring plan announced on September 25, 2025, of which over 90% were in North America.
- At the end of Q4, stores in the U.S. and China comprised 61% of the company's global portfolio, with 16,864 and 8,011 stores in the U.S. and China, respectively
Consolidated net revenues increased 5%, including on a constant currency basis, to $9.6 billion
GAAP operating margin contracted 1,150 basis points year-over-year to 2.9%, primarily due to restructuring costs associated with the closure of coffeehouses (stores) and simplification of our support organization, inflation, investments in support of "Back to Starbucks", which were largely in labor hours, and deleverage.
- Non-GAAP operating margin contracted 500 basis points year-over-year, including on a constant currency basis, to 9.4%
Effective tax rate of 18.8% compared to 23.8% in the prior year. The decrease was primarily driven by lower pre-tax earnings and the proportionate impacts from certain permanent differences and discrete items.
GAAP earnings per share of $0.12 declined 85% over prior year
- Non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.52 declined 35% over prior year, or 34% on a constant currency basis

Full Fiscal Year 2025 Highlights

- North America and U.S. comparable store sales declined 2%, driven by a 4% decline in comparable transactions, partially offset by a 2% increase in average ticket;
- International comparable store sales were flat, driven by a 2% increase in comparable transactions, offset by a 2% decline in average ticket; China comparable store sales declined 1%, driven by a 5% decline in average ticket, partially offset by a 4% increase in comparable transactions
Consolidated net revenues increased 3%, including on a constant currency basis, to $37.2 billion
GAAP operating margin contracted 710 basis points year-over-year to 7.9%, primarily due to restructuring costs associated with the closure of coffeehouses and simplification of our support organization, deleverage, investments in support of "Back to Starbucks," which were largely in labor hours, and inflation.
- Non-GAAP operating margin contracted 510 basis points year-over-year to 9.9%, or contracted 500 basis points on a constant currency basis.
Effective tax rate of 25.9% compared to 24.3% in the prior year. The increase was primarily due to the discrete impact of changes in indefinite reinvestment assertions for certain foreign entities in Q3, partially offset by the discrete impact of a tax status change for a certain foreign entity in Q1.
GAAP earnings per share of $1.63 declined 51% over prior year
- Non-GAAP earnings per share of $2.13 declined 36% over prior year, or a 35% decline on a constant currency basis

"We're a year into our ‘Back to Starbucks' strategy, and it's clear that our turnaround is taking hold," commented Brian Niccol, chairman and chief executive officer. "Our return to global comp growth and the momentum we're building give me confidence we're on the right path to deliver the very best of Starbucks for our customers, partners and shareholders."

"Q4 was a milestone quarter in getting ‘Back to Starbucks', having delivered global comp growth for the first time in seven quarters," commented Cathy Smith, chief financial officer. "We know this continues to be a multi-year turnaround. We remain focused on driving our topline while managing the costs that are within our control to deliver durable, sustainable growth and long-term shareholder value."

Net revenues for the North America segment increased 3% over Q4 FY24 to $6.9 billion in Q4 FY25, primarily driven by net new company-operated store growth of 4% over the past 12 months, prior to the restructuring closures late in the quarter. This increase was partially offset by a decline in our licensed store business.

Operating income decreased to $308.5 million in Q4 FY25 compared to $1.3 billion in Q4 FY24. Operating margin of 4.5% contracted from 18.7% in the prior year, primarily due to restructuring costs associated with the closure of coffeehouses and simplification of our support organization, deleverage, investments in support of "Back to Starbucks", which were largely in labor hours, and inflation.

⁽²⁾		Includes 43 stores closed in Q4 FY25 as part of our "Back to Starbucks" restructuring plan.

Net revenues for the International segment increased 9% over Q4 FY24 to $2.1 billion in Q4 FY25, primarily due to net new company-operated store growth of 5% over the past 12 months, and a 3% increase in comparable store sales, driven by a 6% increase in comparable transactions, partially offset by a 3% decline in average ticket. Also contributing was incremental net revenue from the acquisition of a U.K. licensed business partner and an increase in our licensed store business revenue.

Operating income decreased to $223.2 million in Q4 FY25 compared to $282.9 million in Q4 FY24. Operating margin of 10.8% contracted from 14.9% in the prior year, primarily driven by costs associated with the closure of coffeehouses and simplification of our support organization and increased promotional activity.

Operating income increased to $265.2 million in Q4 FY25 compared to $264.7 million in Q4 FY24. Operating margin of 48.9% contracted from 56.9% in the prior year, primarily driven by a decline in our North American Coffee Partnership joint venture income and mix shift, partially offset by favorable global product costs.

Company Update

In September, we announced a restructuring plan involving the closure of coffeehouses, and the further transformation of our support organization, as part of the Company's "Back to Starbucks" strategy. We assessed our existing store portfolio with respect to both whether coffeehouses had a viable path to offering the physical environment consistent with the brand and a clear path to financial performance. We closed the coffeehouses that did not meet these criteria.
In October, the company announced Pilar Ramos as executive vice president and chief legal officer of Starbucks, effective early November 2025.
In September, the company opened the first Spain flagship store inside Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabéu Stadium. The opening in Madrid's global destination is a symbol of community connections and offers an immersive coffee experience.
In September, the company announced that Starbucks is the official coffee partner of the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games and Team USA.
The Board declared a cash dividend of $0.62 per share, payable on November 28, 2025, to shareholders of record on November 14, 2025. The company had 62 consecutive quarters of dividend payouts with CAGR of 18% over that time period, demonstrating the company's commitment to consistent value creation for shareholders.

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. When provided to investors, 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.
Litigation settlements		Management excludes settlements that are associated with litigation events that are not expected to recur at a similar frequency and magnitude in the future for the reasons discussed above. The amounts represent a cash settlement received by the Company.
Transaction costs		Management excludes transaction costs 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.
