NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Financial Statement Preparation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements as of December 28, 2025, and for the quarters ended December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024, have been prepared by Starbucks Corporation under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, the financial information for the quarters ended December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024 reflects all adjustments and accruals, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods. In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“10-Q”), Starbucks Corporation (together with its subsidiaries) is referred to as “Starbucks,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our.”
Segment information is prepared on the same basis that our chief executive officer, who is our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), manages the segments, evaluates financial results, and makes key operating decisions.
The financial information as of September 28, 2025 is derived from our audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2025 (“fiscal 2025”) included in Item 8 in the fiscal 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 14, 2025 (“10-K”). The information included in this 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the footnotes and management’s discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial statements in the 10-K.
The results of operations for the quarter ended December 28, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be achieved for the entire fiscal year ending September 27, 2026 (“fiscal 2026”).
Restructuring
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 , we announced our “Back to Starbucks” strategy, which was implemented with the goal to bring customers back to our stores and return to growth by revitalizing coffeehouses, enhancing the customer experience, and improving efficiency. As part of this strategy, during the second quarter of fiscal 2025 , we announced our plan to restructure our support organization in an effort to operate more efficiently, increase accountability, reduce complexity, and drive better integration, which resulted in a reduction in our support partner workforce.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 , 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, and we closed, or plan to close, coffeehouses that did not meet these criteria.
Refer to Note 17 , Restructuring, for further discussion.
Assets Held for Sale
We classify long-lived assets or disposal groups as held for sale in the period when all of the following conditions have been met:
• we have approved and committed to a plan to sell the assets or disposal group;
• the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition;
• an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the sale have been initiated;
• the sale of the asset or disposal group is probable and expected to be completed within one year;
• the asset or disposal group is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and
• it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.
We initially measure a long-lived asset or disposal group that is classified as held for sale at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell and recognize any loss in the period in which the held-for-sale criteria are met. Gains are not recognized until the date of sale. We cease depreciation and amortization of a long-lived asset, or assets within a disposal group, upon their designation as held for sale and subsequently assess fair value less any costs to sell at each reporting period until the asset or disposal group is no longer classified as held for sale.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the company announced an agreement to form a joint venture with Boyu Capital to operate Starbucks retail in China (the “disposal group”). Under the agreement, Boyu Capital will acquire up to a 60% interest in
9
Table of Contents
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. 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 operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) 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. No impairment was recorded upon the classification of the disposal group as held for sale.
Refer to Note 2 , Acquisitions and Divestitures, for further discussion.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance expanding segment disclosure requirements. The amendments require enhanced disclosure for certain segment items and disclosure on how our CODM uses reported measures to assess segment performance. The amendments do not change how segments are determined, aggregated, or how thresholds are applied to determine reportable segments. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statement disclosures. Refer to Note 16 , Segment Reporting, for our segment disclosures including enhancements as a result of the amendments.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance expanding disclosure requirements related to income taxes. The amendments require enhanced jurisdictional disclosures for the income tax rate reconciliation and related to cash income taxes paid. Additionally, certain disclosures related to unrecognized tax benefits and indefinite reinvestment assertions were removed. The amendments are effective for our fiscal year ending September 27, 2026. While we are still evaluating the specific impacts, we anticipate this guidance will have a significant impact on our annual income tax disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance expanding disclosure requirements related to certain income statement expenses. The amendments require tabular disclosure of certain operating expenses disaggregated into categories, such as purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization. The amendments are effective for our fiscal year ending October 1, 2028, and may be applied retrospectively. While we are still evaluating the specific impacts and adoption method, we anticipate this guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.
In July 2025, the FASB issued guidance providing a practical expedient for measuring expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from revenue transactions. The amendment is effective for our fiscal year ending October 3, 2027. While we are still evaluating the specific impacts, we anticipate the impact to be limited to the simplification of the estimation process, with no material impact on the allowance for credit losses.

Note 2: Acquisitions and Divestitures
Fiscal 2026
O n November 3, 2025, we announced that the Company entered into an agreement to form a joint venture with Boyu Capital, to operate Starbucks retail in China. We believe this partnership marks a significant milestone in the Company’s ongoing transformation and underscores its commitment to accelerating long-term growth in China. Under the agreement, Boyu Capital will acquire up to a 60 % interest in Starbucks retail operations in China. The partial divestiture is expected to result in the conversion of 8,011 company-operated stores to licensed stores within our International segment. 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. Boyu Capital will acquire its interest based on a cash-free, debt-free mutually agreed-upon total enterprise value of approximately $ 4 billion , to be further adjusted for other contractually agreed-upon items. The transaction is subject to required regulatory a pprovals as we ll as customary closing conditions, and is expected to close by early calendar year 2026.
In the first quarter of 2026, we determined that the disposal group met the held-for-sale criteria. Accordingly, we have presented the assets and liabilities of the disposal group as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets.
As of December 28, 2025, the net carrying amounts of the major classes of assets and liabilities of the disposal group were as follows ( in millions ):
Amount
Cash and cash equivalents $ 347.2
Accounts receivable, net 60.3
Inventories 101.6
Prepaid expenses and other current assets 52.5
Property, plant and equipment, net 875.3
Operating lease, right-of-use asset 1,037.4
Deferred income taxes, net 113.1
Other long-term assets 56.1
Goodwill 2,073.1
Assets held for sale $ 4,716.6
Accounts payable $ 129.0
Accrued liabilities 148.4
Accrued payroll and benefits 110.7
Current portion of operating lease liability 227.5
Stored value card liability and current portion of deferred revenue 197.7
Short-term debt

Operating lease liability 854.1
Deferred revenue
17.4
Other long-term liabilities 67.3
Liabilities held for sale $ 1,754.6
Fiscal 2025
On October 14, 2024, we acquired a 100% ownership interest in 23.5 Degrees Topco Limited, a U.K. licensed business partner, to expand our portfolio of company-operated stores and enhance the coffeehouse experience for customers. The acquisition converted 113 licensed stores to company-operated stores within our International operating segment.
The assets acquired and liabilities assumed are included in our International operating segment. Assets acquired primarily include operating lease ROU assets, intangible assets, goodwill, and property, plant and equipment. The intangible assets acquired as part of this transaction include reacquired licensee agreement rights, which will be amortized over the estimated useful life. In addition, we assumed various liabilities, primarily consisting of operating lease liabilities. The transaction was not material to our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3: Derivative Financial Instruments
Interest Rates
From time to time, we enter into designated cash flow hedges to manage the variability in cash flows due to changes in benchmark interest rates. We enter into interest rate swap agreements, including forward-starting interest rate swaps and treasury locks, settled in cash based upon the difference between an agreed-upon benchmark rate and the prevailing benchmark rate at settlement. These agreements are generally settled around the time of the pricing of the related debt. Each derivative agreement’s gain or loss is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and is subsequently reclassified to interest expense over the life of the related debt.
To hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of our fixed-rate debt, we enter into interest rate swap agreements, which are designated as fair value hedges. The changes in fair values of these derivative instruments and the offsetting changes in fair values of the underlying hedged debt due to changes in the relevant benchmark interest rates are recorded in interest expense. Refer to Note 8 , Debt, for additional information on our long-term debt.
Foreign Currency
To reduce cash flow volatility from foreign currency fluctuations, we enter into forward and swap contracts to hedge portions of cash flows of anticipated royalty revenue, inventory purchases, and intercompany borrowing and lending activities. The resulting gains and losses from these derivatives are recorded in AOCI and subsequently reclassified to revenue, product and distribution costs, or interest income and other, net, respectively, when the hedged exposures affect net earnings.
From time to time, we may enter into financial instruments, including, but not limited to, forward and swap contracts or foreign currency-denominated debt, to hedge the currency exposure of our net investments in certain international operations. The resulting gains and losses from these derivatives are recorded in AOCI and are subsequently reclassified to net earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated. Gains and losses from these derivatives, representing hedged components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness, are amortized over the life of the hedging instrument using a systematic and rational method and recognized in interest expense.
Foreign currency forward and swap contracts not designated as hedging instruments are used to mitigate the foreign exchange risk of certain other balance sheet items. Gains and losses from these derivatives are largely offset by the financial impact of translating foreign currency-denominated payables and receivables, and these gains and losses are recorded in interest income and other, net.
Commodities
Depending on market conditions, we may enter into coffee forward contracts, futures contracts, and collars to hedge anticipated cash flows under our price-to-be-fixed green coffee contracts, which are described further in Note 5, Inventories, or our longer-dated forecasted coffee demand where underlying fixed price and price-to-be-fixed contracts are not yet available. The resulting gains and losses are recorded in AOCI and are subsequently reclassified to product and distribution costs when the hedged exposure affects net earnings.
Depending on market conditions, we may also enter into dairy forward contracts and futures contracts to hedge a portion of anticipated cash flows under our dairy purchase contracts and our forecasted dairy demand. The resulting gains or losses are recorded in AOCI and are subsequently reclassified to product and distribution costs when the hedged exposure affects net earnings.
Cash flow hedges related to anticipated transactions are designated and documented at the inception of each hedge. Cash flows from hedging transactions are classified in the same categories as the cash flows from the respective hedged items. For de-designated cash flow hedges in which the underlying transactions are no longer probable of occurring or where price variability in the underlying cash flow ceases to exist, the related accumulated derivative gains or losses are recognized in interest income and other, net on our consolidated statements of earnings. These derivatives may be accounted for prospectively as non-designated derivatives until maturity, re-designated to new hedging relationships, or terminated early. We continue to believe transactions related to our designated cash flow hedges are probable to occur.
To mitigate the price uncertainty of a portion of our future purchases, including diesel fuel and other commodities, we enter into swap contracts, futures, and collars that are not designated as hedging instruments. The resulting gains and losses are recorded in interest income and other, net to help offset price fluctuations on our beverage, food, packaging, and transportation costs, which are included in product and distribution costs on our consolidated statements of earnings.

There were no material transfers between levels, and there was no significant activity within Level 3 instruments during the periods presented. The fair values of any financial instruments presented above exclude the impact of netting assets and liabilities when a legally enforceable master netting agreement exists.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value on the consolidated financial statements on a nonrecurring basis include items such as property, plant and equipment, ROU assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, equity and other investments, and other assets. These assets are measured at fair value if determined to be impaired.
The estimated fair value of our long-term debt based on the quoted market price (Level 2) is included at Note 8 , Debt. There were no material fair value adjustments during the quarters ended December 28, 2025 and December 29, 2024.

(2) The fiscal year 2026 balances exclude Starbucks retail operations in China that were classified as held for sale.
As of December 28, 2025, we had committed to purchasing green coffee totaling $ 382 million under fixed-price contracts and an estimated $ 879 million under price-to-be-fixed contracts. A portion of our price-to-be-fixed contracts are effectively fixed through the use of futures. See Note 3 , Derivative Financial Instruments, for further discussion. Price-to-be-fixed contracts are purchase commitments whereby the quality, quantity, delivery period, and other negotiated terms are agreed upon, but the date, and therefore the price, at which the base “C” coffee commodity price component will be fixed has not yet been established. For most contracts, either Starbucks or the seller has the option to “fix” the base “C” coffee commodity price prior to the delivery date. For other contracts, Starbucks and the seller may agree upon pricing parameters determined by the base “C” coffee commodity price. Until prices are fixed, we estimate the total cost of these purchase commitments. We believe, based on established relationships with our suppliers and continuous monitoring, the risk of non-delivery on these purchase commitments is remote.

Note 8: Debt
Revolving Credit Facility
Our $ 3.0 billion unsecured five-year revolving credit facility (the “2025 credit facility”), of which $ 150.0 million may be used for issuances of letters of credit, is currently set to mature on June 13, 2030 . The 2025 credit facility is available for working capital, capital expenditures, and other general corporate purposes, including acquisitions and share repurchases. We have the option, subject to negotiation and agreement with the related banks, to increase the maximum commitment amount by an additional $ 1.0 billion.
Borrowings under the 2025 credit facility will bear interest at a fluctuating rate based on the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”), and, for U.S. dollar-denominated loans under certain circumstances, a Base Rate (as defined in the 2025 credit facility), in each case plus an applicable rate. The applicable rate is based on the Company’s long-term credit ratings assigned by Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s rating agencies. The 2025 credit facility contains alternative interest rate provisions specifying rate calculations to be used at such time Term SOFR ceases to be available as a benchmark due to reference rate reform. The “Base Rate” of interest is the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50 %, (ii) Bank of America’s prime rate, (iii) Term SOFR plus 1.00 %, and (iv) 1.00 %. Upon the occurrence of any event of default under the 2025 credit facility, interest on the outstanding amount of the indebtedness under the 2025 credit facility will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 2 % in excess of the interest then borne by such borrowings.
The 2025 credit facility contains provisions requiring us to maintain compliance with certain covenants, including a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, which measures our ability to cover financing expenses. As of December 28, 2025, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants. No amounts were outstanding under our 2025 credit facility as of December 28, 2025 or September 28, 2025.
Short-term Debt
Under our commercial paper program, we may issue unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of $ 3.0 billion, with individual maturities that may vary but not exceed 397 days from the date of issue. Amounts outstanding under the commercial paper program are required to be backstopped by available commitments under our 2025 credit facility. The proceeds from borrowings under our commercial paper program may be used for working capital needs, capital expenditures, and other corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, business expansion, payment of cash dividends on our common stock, and share repurchases. We had no borrowings outstanding under our commercial paper program as of December 28, 2025 and September 28, 2025. Our total available contractual borrowing capacity for general corporate purposes was $ 3.0 billion as of the end of our first quarter of fiscal 2026.
Additionally, we hold the following Japanese yen-denominated credit facilities that are available for working capital needs and capital expenditures within our Japanese market:
• A ¥ 5.0 billion, or $ 32.1 million, credit facility is currently set to mature on December 30, 2026 . Borrowings under this credit facility are subject to terms defined within the facility and will bear interest at a variable rate based on Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate (“TIBOR”) plus an applicable margin of 0.400 %.
• A ¥ 10.0 billion, or $ 64.2 million, credit facility is currently set to mature on March 27, 2026 . Borrowings under this credit facility are subject to terms defined within the facility and will bear interest at a variable rate based on TIBOR plus an applicable margin of 0.300 %.
As of December 28, 2025 and September 28, 2025, we had no borrowings outstanding under these credit facilities.

(1) Balances exclude Starbucks retail operations in China that were classified as held for sale.
As of December 28, 2025, we have entered into operating leases that have not yet commenced of $ 639.0 million, primarily related to real estate leases. These leases will commence between fiscal year 2026 and fiscal year 2030 with lease terms ranging from 5 to 20 years. Lease exit costs associated with our restructuring efforts primarily relate to the closure of certain Starbucks company-operated stores. Total lease exit costs of $48.9 million were recorded in restructuring and impairments on the consolidated statement of earnings in the first quarter of fiscal 2026. See Note 17 , Restructuring, for further discussion.
Note 10: Deferred Revenue
Our deferred revenue primarily consists of the prepaid royalty from Nestlé, for which we have continuing performance obligations to support the Global Coffee Alliance, our unredeemed stored value card liability, and unredeemed loyalty points (“Stars”) associated with our loyalty program.
As of December 28, 2025 and September 28, 2025, the current and long-term deferred revenue related to the Nestlé up-front payment was $ 177.0 million and $ 5.6 billion, respectively.

Note 13: Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the quarter ended December 28, 2025 was 61.7 % compared to 23.6 % for the same period in fiscal 2025. The increase was primarily due to the $266 million 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 fiscal 2026 (approximately 3,500 basis points) and lapping the discrete impact of a tax status change for a certain foreign entity in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 (300 basis points).

Potential dilutive shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options (both vested and non-vested) and unvested RSUs, calculated using the treasury stock method. The calculation of dilutive shares outstanding excludes anti-dilutive stock options or unvested RSUs, which were immaterial in the periods presented.
Note 15: Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
Starbucks is involved in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including litigation matters associated with labor union organizing efforts and certain employment litigation cases that have been certified as class or collective actions, routine liability claims arising from alleged customer injuries, shareholder-related actions, and consumer fraud claims, but is not currently a party to any legal proceeding that management believes could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. While we are closely monitoring the operational and financial impacts of labor union organizing efforts on our business, as of the date of this filing, we believe the risk of a material contingent loss associated with these litigation matters is remote. Refer to the Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A of our most recently filed 10-K for further discussion of potential risks to our brand and related impacts on our financial results.
Note 16: Segment Reporting
We have three reportable operating segments: 1) North America, which is inclusive of the U.S. and Canada; 2) International, which is inclusive of China, Japan, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean; and 3) Channel Development.
North America and International operations sell coffee and other beverages, complementary food, packaged coffees, single-serve coffee products, and a focused selection of merchandise through company-operated stores and licensed stores. Our North
24
Table of Contents
America segment is our most mature business and has achieved significant scale. Certain markets within our International operations are in various stages of development and may require more extensive support, relative to their current levels of revenue and operating income, than our North America operations.
Channel Development revenues include packaged coffee, tea, foodservice products, and ready-to-drink beverage sales to customers outside of our company-operated and licensed stores. Most of our Channel Development revenues are from product sales to, and royalty revenues from, Nestlé through the Global Coffee Alliance.
Our CODM evaluates the performance of our operating segments based primarily on net revenues and operating income, which represents earnings before other income and expenses and income taxes. Financial information and forecasts are reviewed by our CODM at the segment level, and are used to evaluate performance, monitor actual results versus forecasts, and allocate resources for the consolidated entity. Our CODM does not use total assets by segment as a basis for decision making.
The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates in Part II, Item 8 of our most recently filed 10-K.

Note 17: Restructuring
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 , we announced our “Back to Starbucks” strategy, which was implemented with the goal to bring customers back to our stores and return to growth by revitalizing coffeehouses, enhancing the customer experience, and improving efficiency. As part of this strategy, during the second quarter of fiscal 2025 , we further decided and announced our plan to restructure our support organization in an effort to operate more efficiently, increase accountability, reduce complexity, and drive better integration, which resulted in a reduction in our support partner workforce.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 , 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

Table of Contents
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, and we closed, or plan to close, coffeehouses that did not meet these criteria.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, 165 stores were closed and approximately $ 88.1 million was recorded to restructuring and impairments on our consolidated statement of earnings. This total consists of accelerated amortization of ROU lease assets and other lease exit costs, disposal and impairment of company-operated store assets, and employee severance, separation and other costs.

(1) The operating lease liability balance for total stores under the restructuring plan was $ 284.6 million as of December 28, 2025.
(2) The decrease was a result of Starbucks retail operations in China being classified as held for sale.
(3) “Other” primarily consists of updates to accrual estimates.
As of December 28, 2025 , the majority of the remaining accrued employee separation costs are reflected in accrued payroll and benefits and the remaining accrued lease-related costs are reflected in the operating lease liability on the consolidated balance sheet.
The Company estimates that it will incur approximatel y $ 140 million during the remainder of fiscal 2026, primarily related to accelerated ROU lease asset amortization and other lease exit costs in our North America and International operating segments. We anticipate completion of the restructuring plan and remaining store closures within fiscal year 2026. The majority of the accrued liability balance as of December 28, 2025 relates to restructuring charges expected to be paid out by the end of fiscal year 2026.
