SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Starbucks Corporation (Nasdaq: SBUX) today reported financial results for its 13-week fiscal second quarter ended April 2, 2023. GAAP results in fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022 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.

Q2 Fiscal 2023 Highlights

• Global comparable store sales increased 11%, primarily driven by a 6% increase in comparable transactions and 4% increase in average ticket
  • North America comparable store sales increased 12%, driven by a 6% increase in comparable transactions and a 5% increase in average ticket; U.S. comparable store sales increased 12%, driven by a 6% increase in comparable transactions and a 6% increase in average ticket
  • International comparable store sales increased 7%, driven by a 7% increase in comparable transactions; China comparable store sales increased 3%, driven by a 4% increase in comparable transactions and a 1% decline in average ticket
• The company opened 464 net new stores in Q2, inclusive of closures across North America and International as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen the portfolio, ending the period with 36,634 stores globally: 51% company-operated and 49% licensed
  • At the end of Q2, stores in the U.S. and China comprised 61% of the company’s global portfolio, with 16,044 and 6,243 stores in the U.S. and China, respectively
• Consolidated net revenues up 14% to $8.7 billion, inclusive of approximately 2% unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation
• GAAP operating margin of 15.2% increased from 12.4% in the prior year, primarily driven by sales leverage, pricing, productivity improvement and gain on the sale of Seattle's Best Coffee brand. This expansion was partially offset by previously committed investments in labor, including enhanced store partner wages and benefits, increased general and administrative costs related to our Reinvention Plan as well as inflationary pressures.
  • Non-GAAP operating margin of 14.3% increased from 13.0% in the prior year
• GAAP earnings per share of $0.79 grew 36% over prior year
  • Non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.74 grew 25% over prior year

“I am very pleased with our Reinvention progress and grateful for the opportunity to fully immerse into the company, which I formally took over on March 20, 2023. It is a privilege to have learned from our founder and partners around the world,” commented Laxman Narasimhan, chief executive officer. “From my immersion observations, our leadership team now has a clear line of sight into our growth headroom, as well as our opportunities to enhance margins and modernize the business, brand, partner experience and culture of Starbucks. As we strive to continue to be a different kind of company, we will unlock our limitless possibilities to meet the needs of today and, importantly, the future of Starbucks,” Narasimhan added.

“I am so proud of our outstanding second quarter performance, underscoring strength in both topline and margin globally. This momentum was made possible by the investments we are making in our stores and partners, and allowed us to continue unlocking capital to further reinvest in our business,” commented Rachel Ruggeri, chief financial officer. “As we begin on this next step in our journey, I’m confident that, together with our partners, our execution against our Reinvention plan and broader strategies will position us in our new era,” Ruggeri added.

“In support of our Reinvention Plan, and as part of our ongoing efforts to transform our store portfolio, we continue to open, close and evolve our stores as we assess, reposition and strengthen our store portfolio. We are pleased to have opened over 100 net new stores in North America during the quarter and are excited to now have nearly 17,500 stores across the segment,” commented Sara Trilling, executive vice president and president of Starbucks North America. “International added more than 360 net new stores and continues to grow in-line with our ambitious expectations,” added Michael Conway, group president, International and Channel Development.

Net revenues for the International segment grew 9% over Q2 FY22 to $1.9 billion in Q2 FY23, primarily driven by growth in our licensed store revenue including higher product sales and royalty revenues, net new company-operated store growth of 10% over the past 12 months, as well as 7% increase in comparable store sales. These increases were partially offset by approximately 10% unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation.

Operating income increased to $314.7 million in Q2 FY23 compared to $180.7 million in Q2 FY22. Operating margin of 17.0% expanded from 10.6% in the prior year, primarily driven by sales leverage as well as lapping amortization expenses.

Operating income increased to $262.1 million in Q2 FY23 compared to $197.9 million in Q2 FY22.

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 general and administrative expenses (G&A), non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating income growth, 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 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 earnings per share are general and administrative expenses, operating income, operating income growth, 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 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, primarily amortization, of the acquired intangible assets for reasons discussed above. Additionally, we incur certain costs associated with certain divestiture activities. These costs are expected to be recognized over a finite period of time.
Gain on sale of assets		Management excludes the gain related to the sale of assets to Nestlé, primarily consisting of intellectual properties associated with the Seattle's Best Coffee brand, as these items do not reflect future gains or tax impacts for reasons discussed above.
Sale of certain joint venture operations and retail operations		Management excludes the gain or loss, and subsequent adjustments, if any, related to the sale of certain joint venture and retail operations as these activities were specific to the sale and 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 earnings per share 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.
