NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
Financial Statement Preparation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements as of March 28, 2021,April 3, 2022, and for the quarter and two quarters ended April 3, 2022 and March 28, 2021, and March 29, 2020, 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 quarter and two quarters ended April 3, 2022 and March 28, 2021 and March 29, 2020 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 is referred to as “Starbucks,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our.”
Segment information is prepared on the same basis that our management reviews financial information for operational decision-making purposes. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, certain changes were made to our management team, and our operating segment reporting structure was realigned as a result. We realigned our fully licensed Latin America and Caribbean markets from our Americas operating segment to our International operating segment. We renamed the Americas operating segment to the North America operating segment, since it is comprised of our company-operated and licensed stores in the U.S. and Canada. We also made certain other immaterial changes between our International operating segment and Corporate and Other. Certain prior period information on the consolidated statements of cash flowsfor our North America and International operating segments and our Corporate and Other reportable segment has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. There was no impact on consolidated net revenues, total operating expenses, operating income or net earnings per share as a result of these changes.
Certain prior period information on the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash flows have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
The financial information as of September 27, 2020October 3, 2021 is derived from our audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended September 27, 2020October 3, 2021 (“fiscal 2020”2021”) included in Item 8 in the Fiscal 20202021 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“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 and two quarters ended March 28, 2021April 3, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be achieved for the entire fiscal year ending October 3, 20212, 2022 (“fiscal 2021”2022”). Additionally, our 2021Our fiscal year will includeends on the Sunday closest to September 30. Our fiscal 2022 year includes 52 weeks while our fiscal 2021 year included 53 weeks, with the 53rd week falling in the fourth quarter of fiscal quarter.2021.
The novel coronavirus, known as the global COVID-19 pandemic, COVID-19, was first identified in December 2019 before spreading to markets where we have company-operated or licensed stores. We have since established the necessary protocols to operate safely, and our businesses demonstrated powerful momentum beyond recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Certain markets, primarily China, continue to recoverexperience pandemic-related restrictions impacting sales as sales inthey battle COVID-19 resurgences and navigate through prolonged lockdowns. We continue to monitor the U.S.COVID-19 pandemic and China,its effect on our two lead growth markets, have returned to roughly pre-pandemic levels. Asbusiness and results of operations; however, we cannot predict the duration, scope or severity of the endCOVID-19 pandemic or its future impact on our business, results of the second quarter of fiscal 2021, nearly all our company-operatedoperations, cash flows and licensed stores have re-opened; however, many were operating at less than full capacity.financial condition.
Government Subsidies
On March 27, 2020,In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, certain governments have provided subsidies and assistance to companies. The most substantial of these were the U.S. government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), which among other things, provides employer payroll tax credits for wages paid to employees who are unable to work during the COVID-19 outbreak and options to defer payroll tax payments for a limited period. Based on our evaluation of the CARES Act, we qualify for certain employer payroll tax credits as well as the deferral of payroll tax payments in the future. Additionally, the Canadian government enacted the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (“CEWS”("CEWS") to help employers offset a portion, which were no longer applicable in late fiscal 2021. However, during the quarter and two quarters ended April 3, 2022, an international government COVID-19 related subsidy reduced our store operating expenses by $12.4 million and $23.9 million, respectively, on our consolidated statements of their employee wages for a limited period. We elected to treat qualified government subsidies from the U.S., Canada and other governments as offsets to the related operating expenses.earnings. During the quarter and two quarters ended March 28, 2021, qualified payroll and other credits reduced our store operating expenses by $97.4 million and $117.2 million, respectively, on our consolidated statement of earnings. During the quarter ended March 29, 2020, the qualified payroll tax credits reduced our store operating expenses by approximately $35 million on our consolidated statementstatements of earnings. After netting the qualified credits against our payable, a receivable of $158.6$97.1 million and $172.4 million was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets as of March 28, 2021. During the quarterApril 3, 2022 and two quarters ended March 28,October 3, 2021, werespectively. As of April 3, 2022, deferred $5.2 million and $81.7 million, respectively, of qualified payroll tax payments and as of March 28,$116.4 million were included in accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. As of October 3, 2021, deferred payroll tax payments of $116.4 million were included in both accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities respectively, on our consolidated balance sheets.
Restructuring
In fiscal 2020,2021, we announced asubstantially completed our plan to optimizereposition our North America store portfolio, primarily in dense metropolitan markets by developingpursuing strategic store closures and focusing on new store formats tothat better cater to changing customer tastes and preferences. As of March 28, 2021, we expect the total number of closures to be approximately 800 stores in the U.S. and Canada and have identified 760 stores for closure under our restructuring plans. As a result, we recorded approximately $23.0 million and $95.2 million to restructuring and

impairments on our consolidated statementstatements of earnings during the quarter ended and two quarters ended March 28, 2021, respectively.2021. Of these totals, $8.6 million and $51.2 million related to the impairment of store assets for which either a triggering event occurred and the assets were determined not to be recoverable or the store was permanently closed, respectively. During the quarter and two quarters ended March 28, 2021, an additional $14.4 million and $44.0 million, respectively, was associated with accelerated amortization of right-of-use (“ROU”) lease assets and other lease costs due to planned store closures prior to the end of contractual lease terms. For impaired store asset groups,As the restructuring plan was substantially completed in fiscal 2021, we estimated the fair values using an income approach incorporating internal projections of revenue growth and operating expenses that are considered Level 3 fair value measurements, as well as applicable discount

rates and market lease rates. The application of these projections and fair value measurements did not have a significant impactrecognize any material restructuring and impairment amounts during the quarter and two quarters ended April 3, 2022. As of April 3, 2022 and October 3, 2021, there were no material restructuring-related accrued liabilities on our final impairment decisions given that we plan to fully exit the majority of these identified stores over the next 9 to 12 months.
We expect total future restructuring costs, which are attributable to our Americas segment, to be approximately $30 million to $40 million. These restructuring costs primarily include accelerated amortization or impairments of ROU assets due to planned store closures prior to the end of contractual lease terms. The remainingconsolidated balance includes store impairment and disposal costs not previously recorded as part of our ongoing store impairment process and employee termination costs. As we have previously recorded impairment charges for stores that may be identified for closure under our plans, and because store closure decisions are still subject to change, the final costs associated with these store closures may vary from these estimates. These costs will depend on the asset carrying value and remaining lease term of the specific stores identified. Future restructuring costs are expected to be incurred primarily over the next 9 to 12 months as stores are specifically identified for closure or, in the case of lease exit costs, either when a store ceases operations or when a reduced lease term is reasonably certain due to expected, early lease termination.
As of March 28, 2021, restructuring liabilities totaling $21.4 million were included in current and non-current operating lease liability for the remaining outstanding rent liabilities due to landlords. The associated expense was recognized in fiscal 2020 or during the first two quarters of fiscal 2021 for stores that were either closed or reasonably certain to close under the plan. Additionally, $10.4 million of accrued employee termination costs was included in accrued payroll and benefits. Cash payments were $23.2 million for the first two quarters of fiscal 2021.sheets.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016,the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"(“FASB”) issued guidance related to reference rate reform. The pronouncement provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the current guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burden related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance was effective upon issuance and generally can be applied to applicable contract modifications through December 31, 2022. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact to our financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance replacing the incurred loss impairment methodology with a new methodology that reflects current expected credit losses on financial assets, including receivables and available-for-sale securities. The new methodology requires entities to estimate and recognize expected credit losses each reporting period. The guidance was adopted during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 under the modified retrospective approach and resulted in a $2.2 million transition adjustment to opening shareholders' retained deficit on our consolidated statements of equity.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In March 2020, the FASB issued guidance related to reference rate reform. The pronouncement provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the current guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burden related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance was effective upon issuance and generally can be applied to applicable contract modifications through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact of the transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rates but do not expect a significant impact to our consolidated financial statements.

Note 2: 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 and treasury locks, which are synthetic forward sales of U.S. treasuryTreasury securities settled in cash based upon the difference between an agreed-upon treasury rate and the prevailing treasury rate at settlement. These agreements are cash settled at 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 7, 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 intercompany royalty payments, 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
11

Table of Contents
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.
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;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 4, 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, the related accumulated derivative gains or losses are recognized in interest income and other, net on our consolidated statements of earnings. DuringDue to ongoing global supply chain disruptions, certain coffee cash flow hedges have been de-designated early which resulted in insignificant amounts recognized in earnings during the quarter and two quarters ended March 29, 2020, we de-designated certainApril 3, 2022. These derivatives may be accounted for prospectively as non-designated derivatives until maturity, re-designated to new hedging relationships or terminate early. We continue to believe transactions related to our other designated cash flow hedges dueare probable to the global COVID-19 impacts, which resulted in the release of an insignificant net gain from AOCI to our consolidated statement of earnings. There were no significant cash flow hedge de-designations in fiscal 2021.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.

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 and other assets. These assets are measured at fair value if determined to be impaired. During our first two quarters

Table of fiscal 2021, we recorded asset impairment charges, primarily related to restructuring efforts for our North America store portfolio. See Note 1Contents, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for further discussion.
The estimated fair value of our long-term debt based on the quoted market price (Level 2) is included at Note 7, Debt. There were no material fair value adjustments during the two quarters ended April 3, 2022 and March 28, 2021 and March 29, 2020.2021.

Other merchandise held for sale includes, among other items, serveware, food and tea. Inventory levels vary due to seasonality, commodity market supply and price fluctuations.
As of March 28, 2021,April 3, 2022, we had committed to purchasing green coffee totaling $637$500 million under fixed-price contracts and an estimated $654 million$1.3 billion under price-to-be-fixed contracts. We expect to take physical delivery for these contracts. A portion of our price-to-be-fixed contracts are effectively fixed through the use of futures. See Note 2, 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.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2020, we wrote off approximately $50 million of inventory that was expiring or expected to expire due to COVID-19 related store closures, primarily perishable food and beverage ingredients located at our stores, distribution centers and suppliers. We did not record significant write-offs related to COVID-19 during the first half of fiscal 2021.

Note 7: Debt
Revolving Credit Facility
Our $3 billion unsecured five-year revolving credit facility (the "2021 credit facility"), of which $150 million may be used for issuances of letters of credit, is currently set to mature on September 16, 2026. The 2021 credit facility is available for working capital, capital expenditures and other 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 billion.
Borrowings under the 2021 credit facility will bear interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR, and, for U.S. dollar-denominated loans under certain circumstances, a Base Rate (as defined in the 2021 credit facility), in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is based on the Company’s long-term credit ratings assigned by the Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s rating agencies. The 2021 credit facility contains alternative interest rate provisions specifying rate calculations to be used at such time LIBOR ceases to be available as a benchmark due to reference rate reform. The “Base Rate” is the highest of (i) the Federal Funds Rate (as defined in the 2021 credit facility) plus 0.050%, (ii) Bank of America’s prime rate, and (iii) the Eurocurrency Rate (as defined in the 2021 credit facility) plus 1.000%.
The 2021 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 April 3, 2022, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants. No amounts were outstanding under our 2021 credit facility as of April 3, 2022 or October 3, 2021.
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 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 2021 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. As of March 28,April 3, 2022 and October 3, 2021, we had 0no borrowings outstanding under the program.
Additionally, we hold the following Japanese yen-denominated credit facilities that are available for working capital needs and capital expenditures within our Japanese market:

The effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 28, 2021 was 25.9% compared to 16.8% for the same quarter in fiscal 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher earnings, including the foreign rate differential on our jurisdictional mix of earnings, partially offset by lapping valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets of certain international jurisdictions in the prior year.

Legal Proceedings
On April 13, 2010, an organization named Council for Education and Research on Toxics (“Plaintiff”) filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, against the Company and certain other defendants who manufacture, package, distribute or sell brewed coffee. The lawsuit is Council for Education and Research on Toxics v. Starbucks Corporation, et al. On May 9, 2011, the Plaintiff filed an additional lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, against the Company and additional defendants who manufacture, package, distribute or sell packaged coffee. The lawsuit is Council for Education and Research on Toxics v. Brad Barry LLC, et al... Both cases have since been consolidated and now include nearly eighty defendants, which constitute the great majority of the coffee industry in California. Plaintiff alleges that the Company and the other defendants failed to provide warnings for their coffee products of exposure to the chemical acrylamide as required under California Health and Safety Code sectionSection 25249.5, the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, better known as Proposition 65. Plaintiff seeks equitable relief, including

providing warnings to consumers of coffee products, as well as civil penalties in the amount of the statutory maximum of two thousand five hundred dollars per day per violation of Proposition 65. The Plaintiff asserts that every consumed cup of coffee, absent a compliant warning, is equivalent to a violation under Proposition 65.
The Company, as part of a joint defense group organized to defend against the lawsuit, disputes the claims of the Plaintiff. Acrylamide is not added to coffee but is present in all coffee in small amounts (parts per billion) as a byproduct of the coffee bean roasting process. The Company has asserted multiple affirmative defenses. Trial of the first phase of the case (“Phase 1”) commenced on September 8, 2014, and was limited to three affirmative defenses shared by all defendants. On September 1, 2015, the trial court issued a final ruling adverse to defendants on all Phase 1 defenses. Trial of the second phase of the case (“Phase 2”) commenced in the fall of 2017. On May 7, 2018, the trial court issued a ruling adverse to defendants on the Phase 2 defense, the Company's last remaining defense to liability. On June 22, 2018, the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) proposed a new regulation clarifying that cancer warnings are not required for coffee under Proposition 65. The case was set to proceed to a third phase trial (“Phase 3”) on damages, remedies and attorneys' fees on

October 15, 2018. However, on October 12, 2018, the California Court of Appeal granted the defendantsdefendants’ request for a stay of the Phase 3 trial.
On June 3, 2019, the California Office of Administrative Law (OAL) approved the coffee exemption regulation. The regulation became effective on October 1, 2019. On June 24, 2019, the California Court of Appeal lifted the stay of the litigation. At the status conference on August 25, 2020, the trial judge granted the defendants’ motion for summary judgment, ruling that the coffee exemption regulation is a complete defense to the Plaintiff’s complaint. The Notice of Entry of Judgment from the court was served on October 6, 2020, and the Plaintiff filed a Notice of Appeal on November 20, 2020. The court issued2020 and its opening brief in the appeals process on April 9, 2021. Defendants filed their response brief on August 9, 2021, and Plaintiff filed a briefing schedule, and the parties are working through the appellate process.reply on November 15, 2021. Starbucks believes that the likelihood that the Company will ultimately incur a material loss in connection with this litigation is less than reasonably possible. Accordingly, as of April 3, 2022, no loss contingency washas been recorded for this matter.
Starbucks is party to various other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including certain employment litigation cases that have been certified as class or collective actions, but, except as noted above, 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.

We believe these key operating metrics are useful to investors because management uses these metrics to assess the growth of our business and the effectiveness of our marketing and operational strategies. Throughout this MD&A, we commonly discuss the following key operating metrics:
New store openings and store count
Comparable store sales representgrowth
Operating margin
Comparable store sales growth represents the percentage change in sales in one period from the same prior year period for company-operated stores open for 13 months or longer and exclude the impact of foreign currency translation. We analyze comparable store sales growth on a constant currency basis as this helps identify underlying business trends, without distortion from the effects of currency movements. Stores that are temporarily closed or operating at reduced hours due to the COVID-19 outbreakpandemic remain in comparable store sales while stores identified for permanent closure have been removed. During the quarter ended March 28, 2021, our global comparable store sales grew 15%, a reflection of our recovery from the significant adverse impacts from the pandemic in the prior year period.
We have three reportable operating segments: Americas, International and Channel Development. Non-reportable operating segments and unallocated corporate expenses are reported within Corporate and Other.

These werepartner wages and increased spend on new partner training and support costs to address labor market conditions, partially offset by qualified tax credits provided by the Coronavirus Aid, Reliefpricing and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) and the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (“CEWS”). In fiscal year 2020, we announced a plan to optimize our Americas store portfolio, primarily in dense, metropolitan markets, by blending store formats to better cater to changing customer tastes and preferences. During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, we closed approximately 300 storeslapping restructuring expenses in the U.S. and Canada, and expect to close an additional 200 stores primarily over the next 9 to 12 months to complete our restructuring efforts.

Net revenues for our Channel Development segment declined $150increased $93 million, or 29%25%, when compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2020.2021. This was largely due to the transition of certain single-servehigher product activitiessales to Nestlé beginning inand royalty revenue from the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 and lapping Global Coffee Alliance transition-related activities. Our Channel Development segment continues to grow category share as customers adjust to their at-home routines.
As we lap the adverse impacts of the pandemic in fiscal 2020, we expect the momentumand growth in our international ready-to-drink business.
Despite continued COVID-19 induced business recoveryinterruptions, especially in our China market, we have seen the strength and resilience of our brand as well as strong customer demand across our portfolio. However, COVID-19 related mobility restrictions remain in place in China. Additionally, our business expects the weights from inflationary pressures and increased spend due to labor market conditions to continue as well as incremental investments in our partners, technology and digital capabilities. While we anticipate these will have an adverse impact on our operating margin for the remainder of the fiscal year. Absent significant and prolonged COVID-19 relapses or global economic disruptions, and based on the current trend of our retail business recovery and our focused efforts to expand contactless customer experiences, enhance digital capabilities and drive beverage innovation,year, we are confident inthat our strategy will elevate both the strength of our brandpartner and customer experience, accelerating growth over the durability of our long-term growth model.

Cash Flows

Cash used in investing activities for the first two quarters of fiscal 2021 totaled $0.6 billion, compared to cash used in investing activities of $0.7 billion for the same period in fiscal 2020.

Cash used in financing activities for the first two quarters of fiscal 2021 totaled $2.7 billion compared to cash provided by financing activities of $0.2 billion for the same period in fiscal 2020.

Commodity Prices, Availability and General Risk Conditions
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. In addition to coffee, we also purchase significant amounts of dairy products to support the needs of our company-operated stores. The price and availability of these commodities directly impact our results of operations, and we expect commodity prices, particularly coffee, to impact future results of operations. For additional details, see Product Supply in Item 1 of the 10-K, as well as Risk Factors in Item 1A of the 10-K.
Seasonality and Quarterly Results
Our business is subject to moderate seasonal fluctuations, of which our fiscal second quarter typically experiences lower revenues and operating income. However, the COVID-19 outbreakpandemic may have an impact on consumer behaviors and customer traffic that result in changes in the seasonal fluctuations of our business. Additionally, as our stored value cards are issued to and loaded by customers during the holiday season, we tend to have higher cash flows from operations during the first quarter of the fiscal year. However, since revenues from our stored value cards are recognized upon redemption and not when cash is loaded, the impact of seasonal fluctuations on the consolidated statements of earnings is much less pronounced. As a result of moderate seasonal fluctuations, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year.
