Filing evidence summary

Mixed evidenceCoverage 5/5 core metrics

Operating margin changed -7.1 percentage points from the prior annual period.

Backward-looking filed evidence under visible rules - not a rating, forecast or investment advice. Missing data is never scored.

Evidence signals

  • Operating margin compressed

    Operating margin changed -7.1 percentage points from the prior annual period.

    Why this surfaced

    Direction threshold: more than +1 percentage point constructive; below -1 point caution. Period end 2025-09-28.

  • Shareholders' equity was non-positive

    Debt/equity is shown as not meaningful rather than as a negative leverage ratio.

    Why this surfaced

    Same-period reported shareholders' equity was zero or negative; review the balance sheet and capital structure. Period end 2025-09-28.

  • 4 filing risk checks flagged

    Flagged areas: Earnings quality, Solvency & liquidity.

    Why this surfaced

    The full financial analysis shows each value, threshold, and sector limitation.

  • Revenue expanded

    Latest reported annual revenue changed +2.8% from the prior reported annual observation.

    Why this surfaced

    Direction threshold: above +2% constructive; below -2% caution; otherwise monitor. This is not labeled one-year growth when filing periods have a gap. Period end 2025-09-28.

  • Free cash flow was positive

    Latest reported free cash flow was $2.4B.

    Why this surfaced

    Free cash flow = operating cash flow minus capital expenditures; positive is supporting evidence, not a valuation conclusion. Period end 2025-09-28.

Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.

Per fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions.

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, 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.

Debt · 6,695 characters as filed

Debt Revolving Credit Facility During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, we replaced our $3.0 billion unsecured five-year revolving credit facility (the 2021 credit facility) with a new $3.0 billion unsecured five-year revolving credit facility (the 2025 credit facility). Our 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 Companys long-term credit ratings assigned by Moodys and Standard & Poors 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 Americas prime rate, (iii) Ter …

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 Chief Operating Decision Maker (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 1 7 , 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.

Revenue recognition · 2,542 characters as filed

Deferred Revenue During fiscal 2018, we licensed the rights to sell and market our products in authorized channels through the Global Coffee Alliance and received an up-front prepaid royalty from Nestle. The up-front payment of approximately $7 billion was recorded as deferred revenue as we have continuing performance obligations to support the Global Coffee Alliance, including providing Nestle access to certain intellectual properties and products for future resale. The up-front payment is being recognized as other revenue on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic life of the arrangement of 40 years for the ongoing access to the licenses within the contractual territories. Our obligations to maintain the Starbucks brand and other intellectual properties are generally constant throughout the term of the arrangement. Therefore, a ratable recognition pattern is reflective of how we will satisfy our performance obligations. As of September 28, 2025, the current and long-term deferred revenue related to the Nestle up-front payment was $177.0 million and $5.6 billion, respectively. As of September 29, 2024, the current and long-term deferred revenue related to the Nestle up-front payment was $177.0 million and $5.8 billion, respectively. During each of the fiscal years ended September 28, 2025, September 29, 2024, and October 1, 2023, we recognized $176.5 million of prepaid royalty revenue related to Nestle.

Segment reporting · 5,855 characters as filed

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 America segment is our most mature business and has achieved significant scale. 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, Nestle through the Global Coffee Alliance. Our CODM, who is our chief executive officer , 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 …

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.

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 Companys long-term credit ratings assigned by Moodys and Standard & Poors 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 Americas 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 …

Income taxes · 1,201 characters as filed

Income Taxes The effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 28, 2026, was 26.4% compared to 31.8% for the same period in fiscal 2025. The decrease was primarily due to lapping the discrete impact of changes in indefinite reinvestment assertions for certain foreign entities in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 (approximately 850 basis points), partially offset by impacts resulting from the divestiture of Starbucks retail operations in China in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 (370 basis points). The effective tax rate for the three quarters ended June 28, 2026, was 36.5% compared to 26.5% for the same period in fiscal 2025. The increase was primarily due to the $273 million discrete impact of changes in indefinite reinvestment assertions as a result of classifying Starbucks retail operations in China as held for sale in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 (approximately 640 basis points), impacts resulting from the divestiture of Starbucks retail operations in China in the third quarter of fiscal 2026 (approximately 240 basis points) and lapping the discrete impact of a tax status change for a certain foreign entity in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 (approximately 130 basis points).

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.

Segment reporting · 7,268 characters as filed

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 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, Nestle 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 …
