Key insights and themes extracted from this filing
Total net revenues increased by $198.6 million, or 2.3%, to $8,761.6 million, primarily due to higher revenues from company-operated stores ($232.4 million). This growth was partially offset by a decrease in revenues from licensed stores ($38.5 million).
Operating income decreased by $497.9 million, or 45.3%, to $601.0 million. This decrease was primarily driven by deleverage, additional labor costs, and restructuring costs related to simplifying the global support organization.
Net earnings attributable to Starbucks decreased by $388.2 million, or 50.3%, to $384.2 million. This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in operating income, partially offset by a decrease in income tax expense.
Company-operated store revenue increased by $232 million, primarily driven by incremental revenues from 1,283 net new company-operated stores, or a 6% increase, over the past 12 months ($296 million).
Company-operated store revenue increased $232 million, primarily driven by incremental revenues from 1,283 net new company-operated stores, or a 6% increase, over the past 12 months ($296 million), and incremental revenue from the conversion of 113 licensed stores to company-operated stores ($30 million) following the acquisition of 23.5 Degrees Topco Limited, a U.K. licensed business partner, during the first quarter of fiscal 2025. These increases in net revenue were partially offset by a 1% decrease in comparable store sales ($49 million), attributable to a 2% decrease in comparable transactions, partially offset by a 1% increase in average ticket, as well as unfavorable foreign currency translation impacts ($48 million).

Restructuring was $116 million, largely due to costs associated with simplifying our support organization, primarily severance costs, in support of our 'Back to Starbucks' strategy.
Starbucks results for the second quarter of fiscal 2025 showed continued early progress on our 'Back to Starbucks' strategy, as we focus on future growth and stronger returns on invested capital.
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. 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.
There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our 10-K.
Commodity price risk represents our primary market risk, generated by our purchases of green coffee and dairy products, among other items. We purchase, roast, and sell high-quality arabica coffee and related products, and risk arises from the price volatility of green coffee.
We expect that the balance of this fiscal year will bring some challenges as we navigate a dynamic macroeconomic environment, including tariffs and volatile coffee prices. In each case, we are actively monitoring and taking actions where necessary to mitigate potential financial impacts, including further diversifying and redirecting coffee shipments to minimize tariffs, and, with respect to shifting coffee prices, opportunistically building our supply and securing pricing.
The impact of, and our ability to respond to, substantial competition from new entrants, consolidations by competitors, and other competitive activities, such as pricing actions (including price reductions, promotions, discounting, couponing, or free goods), marketing, category expansion, product introductions, or entry or expansion in our geographic markets.
Our ability to preserve, grow, and leverage our brands, including the risk of negative responses by consumers (such as boycotts or negative publicity campaigns), governmental actors (such as retaliatory or threatened legislative treatment or other actions), or other third parties who object to certain actions taken or not taken by the Company, whose responses could adversely affect our brand value.
Changes in consumer preferences, demand, consumption, or spending behavior, including due to shifts in demographic or health and wellness trends, reduction in discretionary spending and price increases, and our ability to anticipate or react to these changes.
Product and distribution costs as a percentage of total net revenues increased 30 basis points for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, primarily due to inflation and rising coffee prices (approximately 60 basis points), partially offset by supply chain efficiencies (approximately 50 basis points).
Restructuring was $116 million, largely due to costs associated with simplifying our support organization, primarily severance costs, in support of our 'Back to Starbucks' strategy.
Store operating expenses as a percentage of total net revenues increased 420 basis points for the second quarter of fiscal 2025. Store operating expenses as a percentage of company-operated stores revenue increased 450 basis points, primarily due to deleverage (approximately 200 basis points) and additional labor, largely in support of 'Back to Starbucks' (approximately 180 basis points).

During the second quarter of fiscal 2025, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend to shareholders of $0.61 per share to be paid on May 30, 2025 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 16, 2025.
Other than normal operating expenses, cash requirements for the remainder of fiscal 2025 are expected to consist primarily of capital expenditures for investments in our new and existing stores, our supply chain, and corporate facilities. Total capital expenditures for fiscal 2025 are expected to be reasonably consistent with fiscal 2024.

During the quarter ended March 30, 2025, our global comparable store sales declined 1%, primarily driven by a 2% decline in the U.S. market, partially offset by a 2% improvement internationally. Specific to the U.S. market, the decrease in comparable store sales was driven by a 4% decrease in comparable transactions, partially offset by a 3% increase in average ticket, primarily due to annualization of pricing and fewer discounts in the current year. Consolidated operating margin contracted 590 basis points from the prior year to 6.9%, primarily driven by deleverage, additional labor, largely in support of 'Back to Starbucks,' and restructuring costs related to simplifying our global support organization.
