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 June 27, 2021,January 2, 2022, and for the quarter and three quarters ended JuneJanuary 2, 2022 and December 27, 2021 and June 28, 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 three quarters ended JuneJanuary 2, 2022 and December 27, 2021 and June 28, 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 for 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 three quarters ended June 27, 2021January 2, 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, 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, despite certain markets inpandemic. However, the Omicron variant quickly spread during the quarter, and our International segment continuingoperations continued to experience pandemic-related restrictions, duringimpacting sales in both our North America and International segments, primarily China. Impacts also included higher than anticipated costs in North America due to staffing shortages in our supply chain and retail stores. We continue to monitor the quarter. AsCOVID-19 pandemic and its effect on our business 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 third quarter of fiscal 2021, nearly all our company-operatedoperations, cash flows and licensed stores had re-opened.
Segment Update
Segment information is prepared on the same basis that our management reviews financial information for operational decision-making purposes. Effective June 28, 2021, certain changes were made to our management team, and our operating segment reporting structure was re-aligned in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 as a result. Specifically, we realigned our fully licensed Latin America and Caribbean markets from our Americas operating segment to our International operating segment. Additionally, 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. The financial information presented herein does not reflect this realignment as these changes were not effective until the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021 and our ceo, who is our Chief Operating Decision Maker, continued to manage the business under the existing segment structure through the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2021.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 pandemic 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, to help employers offset a portionwhich were no longer applicable in late fiscal 2021. However, during the quarter ended January 2, 2022, an international government subsidy reduced our store operating expenses by $11.5 million 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 three quarters ended JuneDecember 27, 2021,2020, qualified payroll and other credits reduced our store operating expenses by $56.4$19.8 million and $173.7 million, respectively, on our consolidated statements of earnings. During the quarter and three quarters ended June 28, 2020, the qualified payroll credits reduced our store operating expenses by $266.0 million and $301.0 million on our consolidated statements of earnings, respectively. After netting the qualified credits against our payable, a receivable of $161.7$98.8 million and $155.1$172.4 million was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets as of June 27,January 2, 2022 and October 3, 2021, and September 27, 2020, respectively. During the three quarters ended June 27, 2021, weAs of January 2, 2022, deferred $81.7 million of qualified payroll tax payments. During the quarter ended June 27, 2021, therepayments of $116.5 million were 0 similar deferrals.included in accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. As of June 27,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. As of September 27, 2020, deferred payroll tax payments of $151.0 million were included in other long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.

Restructuring
In fiscal 2020,2021, we announced asubstantially completed our plan to optimize our North America store portfolio, primarily in dense metropolitan markets by developing new store formats to better cater to changing customer tastes and preferences. As of June 27, 2021, we expect the total number of closures to be approximately 820 stores in the U.S. and Canada and have closed or identified for closure approximately 790 stores under our restructuring plan. As a result,

Of these totals, $7.8 million and $59.0this total, $42.6 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.closed. During the quarter and three quarters ended JuneDecember 27, 2021,2020, an additional $12.2$29.6 million and $56.2 million, respectively, werewas 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 impact on our finalrecognize any material restructuring and impairment charges given that we plan to fully exitamounts during the majority of these identified stores over the next 6 to 12 months.
quarter ended January 2, 2022. As of June 27,January 2, 2022 and October 3, 2021, we expect total future restructuring costs, which are attributable to our Americas segment, to be approximately $20 million to $30 million. These restructuring costs primarily include accelerated amortization of ROU assets due to planned store closures prior to the end of contractual lease terms. The remaining balance includes store impairment and disposal costs not previously recorded as part of our ongoing store impairment process as well as 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 during 2021 as stores are 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.
Restructuring-related accrued employee termination costs included in accrued payroll and benefits on the consolidated balance sheetsthere were $1.8 million and $15.2 million as of June 27, 2021 and September 27, 2020, respectively. Additionally, other accrued restructuring costs included inno material restructuring-related accrued liabilities on theour consolidated balance sheets were $8.7 million as of June 27, 2021. There were 0 other accrued restructuring costs outstanding as of September 27, 2020. Cash payments relating to these liabilities were immaterial for the quarter and three quarters ended June 27, 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 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. There were no significant cash flow hedge de-designations in fiscal 2021. During the second and third quarters of fiscal 2020, we de-designated certain cash flow hedges due to the global COVID-19 impacts, which resulted in the release of an insignificant net gain from AOCI to our consolidated statement of earnings.
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 fiscal third quarter, we recorded asset impairment charges, primarily related to restructuring efforts for our North America store portfolio. See

Note 1Table of Contents, 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 three quarters ended JuneJanuary 2, 2022 and December 27, 2021 and June 28, 2020.

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 June 27, 2021,January 2, 2022, we had committed to purchasing green coffee totaling $517$617 million under fixed-price contracts and an estimated $834$1,433 million 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 three quarters ended ended June 27, 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 $1.0 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 0.025%, (ii) Bank of America’s prime rate, and (iii) the Eurocurrency Rate (as defined in the 2021 credit facility) plus 1.025%.
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 January 2, 2022, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants. No amounts were outstanding under our 2021 credit facility as of January 2, 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 June 27, 2021,January 2, 2022, we had 0$200 million 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:

Note 12: Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 27, 2021 was 18.2% compared to 16.5% for the same quarter in fiscal 2020. The increase was primarily due to the foreign rate differential on our mix of earnings by tax jurisdiction, as well as a change in the absolute pre-tax operating results when compared to the same period of the prior year. This was partially offset by lapping valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets of certain international jurisdictions in the prior year (approximately 840 basis points), a current year remeasurement of deferred tax assets due to an enacted corporate rate change (approximately 510 basis points) and lapping the release of income tax reserves related to the expiration of statute of limitations in the prior year (approximately 330 basis points).
The effective tax rate for the first three quarters ended June 27, 2021 was 21.7% compared to 26.3% for the same period in fiscal 2020. The decrease was primarily due to lapping valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets of certain international jurisdictions in the prior year (approximately 1,400 basis points) and a current year remeasurement of deferred tax assets due to an enacted corporate rate change (approximately 230 basis points). This was partially offset by the foreign rate differential on our mix of earnings by tax jurisdiction and lapping the release of income tax reserves related to the expiration of statute of limitations in the prior year.

Potential dilutive shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of outstanding stock options (both vested and non-vested) and unvested RSUs, calculated using the treasury stock method. For the three months ended June 28, 2020, the Company had 8.1 million of outstanding stock options and unvested RSUs that could potentially dilute earnings per share in future periods that were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been antidilutive given the net loss during the period. The calculation of dilutive shares outstanding would exclude out-of-the-money stock options (i.e., such options’ exercise prices were greater than the average market price of our common shares for the period) because their inclusion would be antidilutive.anti-dilutive.

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

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 and its opening brief in the appeals process on April 9, 2021. After the grant of an extension, defendants have untilDefendants filed their response brief on August 9, 2021, to file their brief in response.and Plaintiff filed a 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 January 2, 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.

Introduction and Overview
Starbucks is the premier coffee roaster and retailer of specialty coffee with operations in 8384 markets around the world. As of June 27, 2021,January 2, 2022, Starbucks had over 33,20034,300 company-operated and licensed stores, an increase of 3%4% from the prior year. Additionally, we sell a variety of consumer-packaged goods, or CPG, primarily through the Global Coffee Alliance established with Nestlé and other partnerships and joint ventures. OurDuring the quarter ended January 2, 2022, our global comparable store sales grew 13%, demonstrating powerful momentum beyond recovery from the significant adverse impacts from the pandemic in the prior year period.
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

We believe our financial results and long-term growth model will continue to be driven by new store openings, comparable store sales growth and operating margin management. Thesemanagement, underpinned by disciplined capital allocation. We believe these key operating metrics are important indicators foruseful 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:

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

Comparable store sales for our U.S. market increased 83%18% for the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal 20212022 compared to a decline of 40%5% in the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal 2020.2021. The U.S. market also had a 10%12% increase in two-year comparable store sales,(1). We continued to incur costs attributable to COVID-19, including catastrophe pay programs for company-operated despite modified store partners (employees). These were partially offset by qualified tax credits provided by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief 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 third quarter of fiscal 2021, we closed approximately 50 stores in the U.S. and Canada, and expect to close approximately 180 additional stores primarily over the next 6 to 12 months to complete our restructuring efforts.

Net revenues for our Channel Development segment declined $33increased $46 million, or 7%12%, when compared with the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal 2020.2021. This was largely due to the transition of certain single-serve product activities to Nestlé beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020. This was partially offset by higher product sales to and royalty revenue from the Global Coffee Alliance and growth in our international ready-to-drink business. Our Channel Development segment continues to grow category share despite a decline in the overall at-home coffee category as consumer mobility improved.
Absent significant and prolonged COVID-19 relapses or global economic disruptions, and based on the current trend of our retail business operations and our focused efforts to expand contactless customer experiences, enhance digital capabilities and drive beverage innovation, we are confident in the strength of our brand and the durability of our long-term growth model. However, our business is experiencing, and expects to continue to experience, operating margin pressures such as accelerated inflation, increased spend due to labor market conditions and extended COVID-19 related pay and benefits for our partners. We believe we have plans to effectively mitigate these pressures, such as improving retail store operations and potential adjustments to pricing. However, if our mitigation plans are not effective, these pressures and other factors could have an adverse impact on our business.

Interest income and other, net increased $23decreased $16 million, primarily due to additional gainshigher net losses from certain investments.
Interest expense decreased $7$5 million, primarily due to lower debt balances attributed to repayments of short-term and current portion of long-term debt balances.
The effective tax rate for the quarter ended June 27, 2021 was 18.2% compared to 16.5% for the same quarter in fiscal 2020. The increase was primarily due to the foreign rate differential on our mix of earnings by tax jurisdictions, as well as a change in the absolute pre-tax operating results when compared to the same period of the prior year. This was partially offset by lapping valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets of certain international jurisdictions in the prior year (approximately 840 basis points), a current year remeasurement of deferred tax assets due to an enacted corporate rate change (approximately 510 basis points) and lapping the release of income tax reserves related to the expiration of statute of limitations in the prior year (approximately 330 basis points).
For the three quarters ended June 27, 2021 compared with the three quarters ended June 28, 2020
Interest income and other, net increased $38 million, primarily due to additional gains from certain investments and net favorable fair value adjustments from non-designated derivatives used to manage our risk of commodity price fluctuations.
Interest expense increased $37 million, primarily due to additional interest incurred on long-term debt issued in March 2020 and May 2020.
The effective tax rate for the first three quarters ended June 27, 2021 was 21.7% compared to 26.3% for the same period in fiscal 2020. The decrease was primarily due to lapping valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets of certain international jurisdictions in the prior year (approximately 1,400 basis points) and a current year remeasurement of deferred tax assets due to an enacted corporate rate change (approximately 230 basis points). This was partially offset by the foreign rate differential on our mix of earnings by tax jurisdiction and lapping the release of income tax reserves related to the expiration of statute of limitations in the prior year.

Revenues
Channel Development total net revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 decreased $33 million, or 7%, primarily due to the transition of certain single-serve product activities to Nestlé ($74 million). This was partially offset by higher product sales and royalty revenue in the Global Coffee Alliance ($30 million) and growth in our ready-to-drink business. We expect the impacts from the transition to be substantially completed by the end of fiscal 2021.

Use of Cash
We expect to use our available cash and investments, including, but not limited to, additional potential future borrowings under the credit facilities, commercial paper program and the issuance of debt to support and invest in our core businesses, including investing in new ways to serve our customers and supporting our store partners, repaying maturing debts, as well as returning cash to shareholders through common stock cash dividend payments and discretionary share repurchases and investing in new business opportunities related to our core and developing businesses. Further,Furthermore, we may use our available cash resources to make proportionate capital contributions to our investees. We may also seek strategic acquisitions to leverage existing capabilities and further build our business in support of our “Growth at Scale” agenda. Acquisitions may include increasing our ownership interests in our investees. Any decisions to increase such ownership interests will be driven by valuation and fit with our ownership strategy.
We believe that net future cash flows generated from operations and existing cash and investments both domestically and internationally combined with our ability to leverage our balance sheet through the issuance of debt will be sufficient to finance capital requirements for our core businesses as well as shareholder distributions for the foreseeable future. Significant new joint ventures, acquisitions and/or other new business opportunities may require additional outside funding. We have borrowed funds and continue to believe we have the ability to do so at reasonable interest rates; however, additional borrowings would result in increased interest expense in the future. In this regard, we may incur additional debt, within targeted levels, as part of our plans to fund our capital programs, including cash returns to shareholders through future dividends and discretionary share repurchases.

We regularly review our cash positions and our determination of indefinite reinvestment of foreign earnings. In the event we determine that all or a portion of such foreign earnings are no longer indefinitely reinvested, we may be subject to additional foreign withholding taxes and U.S. state income taxes, which could be material. We do not anticipate the need for repatriated funds to the U.S. to satisfy domestic liquidity needs.

During the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal 2021,2022, our Board of Directors approved a quarterly cash dividend to shareholders of $0.45$0.49 per share to be paid on August 27, 2021 February 25, 2022 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on August 12, 2021. AsFebruary 11, 2022.
During the first quarter of the date of this report,fiscal 2022, we do not expect to reduce our quarterly dividend as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
On April 8, 2020, we announced a temporary suspension ofresumed our share repurchase program. Repurchases pursuant to this program were last madewhich was temporarily suspended in mid-MarchMarch 2020. During the quarter ended January 2, 2022, we repurchased 31.1 million shares of common stock for $3.5 billion. As of June 27, 2021, 48.9January 2, 2022, 17.8 million shares remained available for repurchase under current authorizations. The existing share repurchase program remains authorized by the Board of Directors, however, we have temporarily suspended our share repurchase program until we restore certain financial leverage targets. We currently expect the suspension of our share repurchase program to continue for the remainder of fiscal 2021.
Other than normal operating expenses, cash requirements for the remainder of fiscal 20212022 are expected to consist primarily of capital expenditures for investments in our new and existing stores and our supply chain and corporate facilities. Total capital expenditures for fiscal 20212022 are expected to be approximately $1.7$2.0 billion.
Cash Flows
Cash provided by operating activities was $4.5 billion for the first three quarters of fiscal 2021, compared to $107.1 million for the same period in fiscal 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher net earnings and the timing of tax payments and refunds.
Cash used in investing activities for the first three quarters of fiscal 2021 totaled $1.0 billion, compared to cash used in investing activities of $1.3 billion for the same period in fiscal 2020. The change was primarily due to higher maturities and calls of investments and a decrease in spend on capital expenditures, partially offset by an increase in purchases of investments.
Cash used in financing activities for the first three quarters of fiscal 2021 totaled $3.2 billion compared to cash provided by financing activities of $2.5 billion for the same period in fiscal 2020. The change was primarily due to increased debt repayments and lower net proceeds from new debt issuances, partially offset by the temporary suspension of our share repurchase program.
Contractual Obligations
In Management’sManagement's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the 10-K, we disclosed that we had $35.4$33.7 billion in total contractual obligationsof current and long-term material cash requirements as of September 27, 2020.October 3, 2021.

Cash Flows
Off-Balance Sheet ArrangementsCash provided by operating activities was $1.9 billion for the first quarter of fiscal 2022, compared to $1.8 billion for the same period in fiscal 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher net earnings, partially offset by lower losses on retirement and impairment of assets and increases in net cash used by changes in operating assets and liabilities.
There has been no materialCash used in investing activities for the first quarter of fiscal 2022 totaled $401 million, compared to cash used in investing activities of $273 million for the same period in fiscal 2021. The change was primarily due to a increase in spend on capital expenditures.

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 pandemic 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.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There has been no material change in the commodity price risk, foreign currency exchange risk, equity security price risk or interest rate risk discussed in Item 7A of the 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
During the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal 2021,2022, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of the end of the period covered by this report (June 27, 2021)(January 2, 2022).
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.Legal Proceedings
See Note 1413, Commitments and Contingencies, to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this 10-Q for information regarding certain legal proceedings in which we are involved.
Item 1A.Risk Factors
ThereIn addition to the other information set forth in this 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2021 Form 10-K, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, or future results. The information presented below updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors disclosed in our 2021 Form 10-K. Otherwise, except as presented below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2021 Form 10-K.
Changes in the 10-K.availability of and the cost of labor could adversely affect our business.
Our business could be adversely impacted by increases in labor costs, including wages and benefits, which, in a retail business such as ours, are two of our most significant costs, both domestically and internationally, including those increases triggered by regulatory actions regarding wages, scheduling and benefits; increased health care and workers’ compensation insurance costs; increased wages and costs of other benefits necessary to attract and retain high quality employees with the right skill sets and increased wages, benefits and costs related to the COVID-19 pandemic and inflationary and other pressure on wages now being experienced. The growth of our business can make it increasingly difficult to locate and hire sufficient numbers of employees, to maintain an effective system of internal controls for a globally dispersed enterprise and to train employees worldwide to deliver a consistently high-quality product and customer experience, which could materially harm our business and results of operations. Furthermore, we have experienced, and could continue to experience, a shortage of labor for store positions, including due to concerns around and illnesses arising from COVID-19 and its various novel variants and other factors, which could decrease the pool of available qualified talent for key functions and require stores to operate on reduced hours. Such labor shortages could be further exacerbated by expanded federal, state and local COVID-19 vaccination requirements. In addition, our wages and benefits programs may be insufficient to attract and retain the best talent especially in a rising wage market. Furthermore, while the number of partners represented by unions is not significant, if a significant portion of our employees were to become unionized, our labor costs could increase and our business could be negatively affected by other requirements and expectations that could increase our costs, change our employee culture, decrease our flexibility and disrupt our business. In December 2021, Starbucks partners at two stores in New York voted in favor of union representation and soon after stores in multiple jurisdictions across the United States have filed for unionization with the National Labor Relation Board with more that may follow. Further, our responses to any union organizing efforts could negatively impact how our brand is perceived and have adverse effects on our business, including on our financial results.
