Starbucks Reports Q1 Fiscal 2024 Results

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Starbucks Corporation (Nasdaq: SBUX) today reported financial results for its 13-week fiscal first quarter ended December 31, 2023. GAAP results in fiscal 2024 and fiscal 2023 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 2024 Highlights

• Global comparable store sales increased 5%, driven by a 3% increase in comparable transactions and 2% increase in average ticket
  • North America and U.S. comparable store sales increased 5%, driven by a 4% increase in average ticket and 1% increase in comparable transactions
  • International comparable store sales increased 7%, driven by a 11% increase in comparable transactions and 3% decline in average ticket; China comparable store sales increased 10%, driven by a 21% increase in comparable transactions and 9% decline in average ticket
• The company opened 549 net new stores in Q1, ending the period with 38,587 stores: 51% company-operated and 49% licensed
  • At the end of Q1, stores in the U.S. and China comprised 61% of the company's global portfolio, with 16,466 and 6,975 stores in the U.S. and China, respectively
• Consolidated net revenues up 8%, including on a constant currency basis, to a record $9.4 billion
• GAAP operating margin expanded 140 basis points year-over-year to 15.8%, primarily driven by sales leverage and in-store operational efficiencies. This expansion was partially offset by investments in store partner wages and benefits, as well as higher general and administrative costs in support of Reinvention.
  • Non-GAAP operating margin expanded 130 basis points to 15.8% from 14.5% year-over-year, including on a constant currency basis
• GAAP earnings per share of $0.90 grew 22% over prior year
  • Non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.90 grew 20% over prior year, including on a constant currency basis
• Starbucks Rewards loyalty program 90-day active members in the U.S. increased to 34.3 million, up 13% year-over-year

"Our first quarter performance was strong on many measures. Of note was the unwavering commitment of our most loyal customers, the growth in rewards members, tender and spend per member," commented Laxman Narasimhan, chief executive officer. "Despite headwinds, our brand is very strong, and that coupled with innovation and a relentless focus on our green apron partners form long-term differentiators, along with focused execution on Triple Shot Reinvention, will drive balanced and attractive earnings growth," Narasimhan added.

"I am proud of the significant margin expansion and double-digit earnings growth we delivered in our first quarter, as it underscores our multiple paths to earnings growth," commented Rachel Ruggeri, chief financial officer. "We are executing on several levers within those multiple paths to continue delivering against our balanced growth model over the remainder of the year," Ruggeri added.

Net revenues for the North America segment grew 9% over Q1 FY23 to $7.1 billion in Q1 FY24, primarily driven by a 5% increase in comparable store sales, driven by a 4% increase in average ticket and a 1% increase in comparable transactions, net new company-operated store growth of 4% over the past 12 months, as well as growth in our licensed store business.

Operating income increased to $1.5 billion in Q1 FY24 compared to $1.2 billion in Q1 FY23. Operating margin of 21.4% expanded from 18.5% in the prior year, primarily driven by in-store operational efficiencies and sales leverage.

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 remain in comparable store sales while stores identified for permanent closure have been removed.

Net revenues for the International segment grew 10% over Q1 FY23 to $1.8 billion in Q1 FY24, primarily driven by net new company-operated store growth of 12% over the past 12 months and a 7% increase in comparable store sales, driven by an 11% increase in comparable transactions and a 3% decline in average ticket. These increases were partially offset by approximately 2% unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation.

Operating income increased to $241.5 million in Q1 FY24 compared to $240.4 million in Q1 FY23. Operating margin of 13.1% contracted from 14.3% in the prior year, primarily driven by investments in store partner wages and benefits, business mix shift and strategic investments. This contraction was partially offset by sales leverage.

Q1 Channel Development Segment Results
	Quarter Ended
($ in millions)	Dec 31, 2023		Jan 1, 2023		Change (%)
Revenues	$448.0		$478.2		(6)%
Operating Income	$209.7		$226.3		(7)%
Operating Margin	46.8%		47.3%		(50) bps

Net revenues for the Channel Development segment declined 6% over Q1 FY23 to $448.0 million in Q1 FY24, primarily due to a decline in revenue in the Global Coffee Alliance following the sale of Seattle's Best Coffee brand in Q2 FY23 and a decrease in global ready-to-drink revenue.

Operating income decreased to $209.7 million in Q1 FY24 compared to $226.3 million in Q1 FY23. Operating margin of 46.8% contracted from 47.3% in the prior year, primarily driven by product costs related to the Global Coffee Alliance, partially offset by business mix shift.

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. When provided, 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 for reasons discussed above. Additionally, we incur certain costs associated with certain divestiture activities. The majority of these costs will be recognized over 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, 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, 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.
