Financial Statement Preparation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2017,January 1, 2023, and for the quarters ended December 31, 2017January 1, 2023 and January 1, 2017,2, 2022, 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 quarters ended December 31, 2017January 1, 2023 and January 1, 20172, 2022 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.
Certain prior period information on the consolidated statements of cash flows have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
The financial information as of October 1, 20172, 2022 is derived from our audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended October 1, 20172, 2022 (“fiscal 2017”2022”) included in Item 8 in the Fiscal 20172022 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “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 ended December 31, 2017January 1, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be achieved for the entire fiscal year ending September 30, 2018October 1, 2023 (“fiscal 2018”2023”).
RecentThe 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 in many of our markets, our businesses demonstrated powerful momentum beyond recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. During the first quarter of fiscal 2023, our China market continued to experience pandemic-related business interruptions, including escalating COVID outbreaks that suppressed customer mobility. We continue to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on our business and results of operations; however, we cannot predict the duration, scope or severity of the COVID-19 pandemic or its future impact on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

In fiscal 2022, we announced our plan in the U.S. market to increase efficiency while elevating the partner and customer experience (the “Reinvention Plan”). We believe the investments in partner wages and trainings will increase retention and productivity while the acceleration of purpose-built store concepts and innovations in technologies will provide additional convenience and connection with our customers. As a result of the restructuring efforts in connection with the Reinvention Plan, we recorded an immaterial charge on our consolidated statements of earnings during the quarter ended January 1, 2023. Future restructuring and impairment costs attributable to our Reinvention Plan are not expected to be material.
As of January 1, 2023 and October 2, 2022, there were no material restructuring-related accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2017,the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) amended its guidance on the financial reporting of hedging relationships. The new guidance eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness, expands permissible cash flow hedges on contractually specified components, and simplifies hedge documentation and effectiveness assessment. The guidance will be effective at the beginning of our first quarter of fiscal year 2020 and will require a modified retrospective approach on existing cash flow and net investment hedges. The presentation and disclosure requirements will be applied prospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and the timing of adoption.
In October 2016, the FASB issued guidance on the accounting for income tax effects of intercompany sales or transfers of assets other than inventory. The guidance requires entities to recognize the income tax impact of an intra-entity sale or transfer of an asset other than inventory when the sale or transfer occurs, rather than when the asset has been sold to an outside party. The guidance will require a modified retrospective application with a cumulative catch-up adjustment to opening retained earnings at the beginning of our first quarter of fiscal 2019 but permits adoption in an earlier period. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements and the timing of adoption.
In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance related to stock-based compensation, which changesreference rate reform. The pronouncement provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the current guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting and classification of excess tax benefits and minimum tax withholdings on share-based awards. This guidance requires that excess tax benefits and tax deficienciesto ease the financial reporting burden related to stock-based compensationthe 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 prospectively reflected as income tax expense in our consolidated statement of earnings instead of additional paid-in capital on our consolidated balance sheet. Additionally, within our consolidated statement of cash flows, this guidance requires excess tax benefitsapplied to be presented as an operating activity, rather than a financing activity, in the same manner as other cash flows related to income taxes. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The primary impact of the adoption was the recognition of excess tax benefits that reduced income tax expenses by $28.2 million for the three months endedapplicable contract modifications through December 31, 2017, instead2024. The adoption of additional paid-in capital. As a result, net income increased $28.2 million and basic and diluted earnings per share increased $0.02 for the three months ended December 31, 2017. Excess tax benefits of $34.1 million, for the three months ended January 1, 2017, previously reported in financing activities have been reclassified to operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance for financial liabilities resulting from selling prepaid stored value products that are redeemable at third-party merchants. Under the new guidance expected breakage amounts associated with these products must be recognized proportionately in earnings as redemption occurs. Our current accounting policy of applying the remote method to all of our stored value cards, including cards redeemable at the third-party licensed locations, will no longer be allowed. We will adopt and implement the provisions of this guidance and the new revenue recognition standard issued by the FASB, as discussed below, in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.
In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance on the recognition and measurement of leases. Under the new guidance, lessees are required to recognizedid not have a lease liability, which represents the discounted obligation to make future minimum lease payments, and a corresponding right-of-use asset on the balance sheet for most leases. The guidance retains the current accounting for lessors and does not make significant changes to the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows by

a lessee. Enhanced disclosures will also be required to give financial statement users the ability to assess the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The guidance will require modified retrospective application at the beginning of our first quarter of fiscal 2020, with optional practical expedients, but permits adoption in an earlier period. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements. We expect this adoption will result in a material increase in the assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets but will likely have an insignificant impact on our consolidated statements of earnings. In preparation for the adoption of the guidance, we are in the process of implementing controlsfinancial statements.
Note 2: Acquisitions, Divestitures and key system changes to enable the preparation of financial information.
In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance outlining a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers that supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. This guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new guidance may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. We are currently evaluating the overall impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements, as well as the expected method of adoption. Based on our continued assessment, which may identify other accounting impacts, we have determined the adoption will change the timing of recognition and classification of our stored value card breakage income, which is currently recognized using the remote method and recorded in interest income and other, net. The new guidance will require application of the proportional method and classification within total net revenues on our consolidated statements of earnings. Additionally, the new guidance requires enhanced disclosures, including revenue recognition policies to identify performance obligations to customers and significant judgments in measurement and recognition. We will adopt this guidance in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.
Note 2:Acquisitions and Divestitures
Fiscal 2018
On December 31, 2017, we acquired the remaining 50% interest of our East China joint venture (East China) from President Chain Store (Hong Kong) Holding Ltd. and Kai Yu (BVI) collectively, “Uni-President Group” or “UPG”, for approximately $1.4 billion in the form of a payable to UPG. Approximately $1.3 billion had been settled as of the date of this filing. The final purchase price and remaining payment will be determined upon finalizing East China’s full year results for calendar year 2017. Approximately $86.3 million of pre-existing liabilities owed by East China to Starbucks were effectively settled upon the acquisition. Acquiring the remaining interest of East China, which operates over 1,400 stores in the Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Provinces, builds on the Company's ongoing investment in China. The estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on preliminary valuation as of the December 31, 2017 acquisition date and are subject to change as additional information becomes available.
Concurrently, with the purchase of our East China joint venture, we sold our 50% interest in President Starbucks Coffee Taiwan Limited, our joint venture operations in Taiwan, to UPG for approximately $177.6 million. The consideration, less associated transaction taxes, was recorded as a receivable from UPG within prepaid expenses and other current assets at December 31, 2017. Approximately $161.6 million of the proceeds have been received as of the date of this filing. The final sales price and remaining proceeds will be determined upon finalizing the Taiwan JV’s full year results for calendar year 2017.  The transaction resulted in a pre-tax gain of $153.0 million, which was included in gains from divestiture of certain operations on our consolidated statements of earnings.

The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the total consideration to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of December 31, 2017, which are reported within our China/Asia Pacific segment (in millions):
Consideration:  
Acquisition payable for UPG 50% equity interest $1,431.0
Fair value of our preexisting 50% equity interest 1,431.0
Settlement of pre-existing liabilities 86.3
Total consideration $2,948.3
   
Fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed:  
Cash and cash equivalents $129.5
Accounts receivable, net 14.3
Inventories 18.0
Prepaid expenses and other current assets 20.6
Property, plant and equipment 256.6
Other long-term assets 35.7
Other intangible assets 818.0
Goodwill 2,137.1
Total assets acquired 3,429.8
Accounts payable 43.2
Accrued liabilities 173.8
Stored value card liability 18.0
Other long-term liabilities 246.5
Total liabilities assumed 481.5
Total consideration $2,948.3

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed are reported within our China/Asia Pacific segment. Other current and long-term assets acquired primarily include lease deposits and prepaid rent. Accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities assumed primarily include deferred income tax, dividend payable, accrued payroll, income tax payable and accrued occupancy costs.

The definite-lived intangibles primarily relate to reacquired rights to operate stores exclusively in East China. The reacquired rights of $798.0 million represent the fair value calculated over the remaining original contractual period and will be amortized on a straight-line basis through September 2022. Amortization expense for these definite-lived intangible assets will commence in the second quarter of fiscal 2018 and estimated to be approximately $130.3 million in fiscal 2018, $173.7 million each year for the next three years and approximately $166.6 million in the final year of fiscal 2022.

The $2.1 billion of goodwill represents the intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition and primarily includes the acquired customer base, the acquired workforce including store partners in the region that have strong relationships with these customers, and the existing geographic retail and online presence. The goodwill was allocated to the China/Asia Pacific segment and is not deductible for income tax purposes.




The table below summarizes our estimated minimum future rental payments under the acquired non-cancelable operating leases as of December 31, 2017 (in millions):
 Operating Leases
Year 1$69.6
Year 260.6
Year 352.2
Year 445.8
Year 537.0
Thereafter83.5
Total minimum lease payments$348.7

As a result of this acquisition, we remeasured the carrying value of our preexisting 50% equity method investment to fair value, which resulted in a gain of $1.3 billion, that was largely non-taxable. The gain was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 and was presented separately as gain resulting from acquisition of joint venture on our consolidated statements of earnings. The fair value of $1.4 billion was calculated using an income approach, which was based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represents a fair value measurement categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Key assumptions used in estimating future cash flows included projected revenue growth and operating expenses, as well as the selection of an appropriate discount rate. Estimates of revenue growth and operating expenses were based on internal projections and considered the historical performance of stores, local market economics and the business environments impacting store performance. The discount rate applied was based on East China's weighted-average cost of capital and included company-specific and size risk premiums.
We will begin consolidating East China's results of operations and cash flows into our consolidated financial statements after December 31, 2017. For the quarter ended December 31, 2017, the business performance of East China was recorded in income from equity investees on our consolidated statement of earnings as the transaction closed on the last day of the quarter.
The following table provides the supplemental pro forma revenue and net earnings of the combined entity had the acquisition date of East China been October 3, 2016, the first day of our first quarter of fiscal 2017, rather than the end of our first quarter of fiscal 2018 (in millions):

The pro forma net earnings attributable to Starbucks for fiscal 2017 includes the acquisition-related gain of $1.3 billion, and transaction and integration costs of $3.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2017.
The amounts in the supplemental pro forma earnings for the periods presented above fully eliminate intercompany transactions, apply our accounting policies and reflect adjustments for additional occupancy costs as well as depreciation and amortization that would have been charged assuming the same fair value adjustments to leases, property, plant and equipment and acquired intangibles had been applied on October 3, 2016. These pro forma results are unaudited and are not necessarily indicative of results of operations that would have occurred had the acquisition actually closed in the prior year period or indicative of the results of operations for any future period.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2017, we incurred approximately $2.5 million of acquisition-related costs, such as regulatory, legal, and advisory fees, which we have recorded within unallocated corporate general and administrative expenses.
On December 11, 2017, we sold the assets associated with our Tazo brand including Tazo® signature recipes, intellectual property and inventory to Unilever for a total of $383.8 million. The transaction resulted in a pre-tax gain of $347.9 million, which was included in gains from divestiture of certain operations on our consolidated statements of earnings. Results from Tazo operations prior to the sale are reported primarily in Channel Development.

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.

These derivatives may be accounted for prospectively as non-designated derivatives until maturity, re-designated to new hedging relationships or terminated early. We continue to believe transactions related to our other designated cash flow hedges are probable to occur.

As of December 31, 2017,January 1, 2023, we had committed to purchasing green coffee totaling $762$333.3 million under fixed-price contracts and an estimated $369$773.2 million under price-to-be-fixed contracts. As of December 31, 2017, noneA portion of our price-to-be fixedprice-to-be-fixed contracts wereare effectively fixed through the use of futures contracts.futures. See Note 3, 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 established with our suppliers in the past,and continuous monitoring, the risk of non-delivery on these purchase commitments is remote.

Revolving Credit Facility
Our $3.0 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 0.500%, (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 January 1, 2023, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants. No amounts were outstanding under our 2021 credit facility as of January 1, 2023 or October 2, 2022.
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$3.0 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 December 31, 2017,January 1, 2023, we had no borrowings outstanding under the program. As of October 2, 2022, we had $175.0 million in borrowings outstanding under this 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:
A ¥5 billion, or $37.6 million, credit facility is currently set to mature on January 4, 2024. Borrowings under this credit facility are subject to terms defined within the facility and will bear interest at a variable rate based on Tokyo Interbank Offered Rate ("TIBOR") plus an applicable margin of 0.400%.
A ¥10 billion, or $75.2 million, credit facility is currently set to mature on March 27, 2023. Borrowings under this credit facility are subject to terms defined within the facility and will bear interest at a variable rate based on TIBOR plus an applicable margin of 0.350%.
As of January 1, 2023 and October 2, 2022, we had no borrowings outstanding under these Japanese yen-denominated credit facilities.

Note 10:Income Taxes
Our tax provision is determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate and adjusted for discrete taxable events that may occur during the quarter. We recognize the effects of tax legislation in the period in which the law is enacted. Our deferred tax assets and liabilities are remeasured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years we estimate the related temporary differences to reverse.
On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed and enacted comprehensive tax legislation into law H.R. 1, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). Except for certain provisions, the Tax Act is effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2018. As a fiscal year U.S. taxpayer, the majority of the provisions will apply to our fiscal 2019, such as eliminating the domestic manufacturing deduction, creating new taxes on certain foreign sourced income and introducing new limitations on certain business deductions. For fiscal 2018 and effective 2023 (in the first fiscal quarter, the most significant impacts include: lowering of the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate; remeasuring certain net deferred tax liabilities; and requiring the transition tax on the deemed repatriation of certain foreign earnings. The phase in of the lower corporate income tax rate resulted in a blended rate of 24.5% for fiscal 2018, as compared to the previous 35%. The tax rate will be reduced to 21% in subsequent fiscal years. In the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we recorded $77 million net income tax benefit for the provisional remeasurement of certain deferred taxes and related amounts. Additionally, we recorded a provisional $212 million of income tax expense for the estimated effects of the transition tax, net of adjustments related to uncertain tax positions.millions):

Based on our current interpretation of the Tax Act, we made reasonable estimates to record provisional adjustments during the first quarter of fiscal 2018, as described above. Collectively, these items did not have a material impact to our condensed consolidated financial statements. Since we are still accumulating and processing data to finalize the underlying calculations and expect regulators to issue further guidance, among other things, we believe our estimates may change during fiscal 2018. We continue to refine such amounts within the measurement period allowed, which will be completed no later than the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

Note 14: Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
In 2010 and 2011, an organization named Council for Education and Research on Toxics (“Plaintiff”) filed lawsuits in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles, against the Company and other companies who manufacture, package, distribute or sell brewed coffee. The suits were later consolidated into a single action. Plaintiff alleged 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 section 25249.5, the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, better known as Proposition 65. Plaintiff sought 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 alleged violation of Proposition 65, which the Plaintiff claimed was every day coffee is sold without a compliant warning. The Company denied the claims.
During the pendency of the litigation, 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 regulation was approved by the Office of Administrative Law and became effective on October 1, 2019. In 2020, the trial court granted the defendants’ motion for summary judgment, ruling that the coffee exemption regulation is a complete defense to the Plaintiff’s complaint. On October 26, 2022, the California Court of Appeal affirmed the trial court's dismissal of the case. The Plaintiff’s subsequent request for a rehearing before the California Court of Appeals was denied. On December 2, 2022 Plaintiff filed a petition for review in the California Supreme Court and Starbucks filed a response brief on December 22, 2022. 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 1, 2023, no loss contingency has been recorded for this matter.

The existing portfolio of Teavana stores are expected to be closed during fiscal 2018. Lease exit costs associated with our restructuring efforts will be recognized concurrently with either actual store closures or upon reaching a lease termination agreement with the landlord. Total lease exit costs are expected to be approximately $143.2$90 million of which $16.6 million and $0.0 million were recorded within restructuring expenses on the consolidated statement of earnings in the firstsecond quarter of 2018fiscal 2023. With the exception of recognizing the sale to Nestlé, we do not expect the transaction will have a material impact on our ongoing operations and 2017, respectively. Previously recorded lease exit costs recorded within restructuring expenses for fiscal year 2017 were $15.7 million.

GeneralIntroduction and Overview
Starbucks is the premier roaster, marketer and retailer of specialty coffee in the world, operating in 84 markets. As of January 1, 2023, Starbucks had more than 36,100 company-operated and licensed stores, an increase of 5% from the prior year. Additionally, we sell a variety of consumer-packaged goods, primarily through the Global Coffee Alliance established with Nestlé and other partnerships and joint ventures. During the quarter ended January 1, 2023, our global comparable store sales

grew 5%, primarily driven by 10% growth in the U.S. market, partially offset by COVID-19 pandemic-related business conditions in China, leading to a 29% decrease in China comparable store sales.
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. Non-reportable operating segments and unallocated corporate expenses are reported within Corporate and Other.
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, underpinned by disciplined capital allocation. 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 growth
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.
Our fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to September 30. Fiscal 2023 and 2022 included 52 weeks. All references to store counts, including data for new store openings, are reported net of store closures, unless otherwise noted.
Overview
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, Starbucks initiated streamlining efforts to focus on accelerating growth in high-returning businesses and remove non-core, slow growth activities. These efforts include acquisitions, divestitures and rationalizing portfolios of stores and products, among other things. The Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2018 reflects these and related restructuring activities, such as the acquisition of its East China joint venture, full conversion of the Singapore retail operations to licensed, ongoing closures of TeavanaTM/MC retail stores and the sale of the Tazo brand, which primarily impacted CAP, Channel Development and All Other Segments.
Overall, Starbucks delivered solid growth in net revenues of 6% to $6.1 billion in its first quarter of fiscal 2018. This was primarily driven by incremental revenues from 2,305 net new store openings over the last 12 months and global comparable store sales growth of 2%. Consolidated operating income decreased $16.5 million, or 1%, to $1.1 billion. Operating margin declined 140 basis points to 18.4%, primarily due to a food-related mix shift in the Americas segment and restructuring costs related to the certain streamlining efforts noted above, primarily the planned closure of our Teavana-branded retail stores in All Other Segments.
In December 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation into law H.R. 1, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”), to reduce the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate and transition to a territorial from a worldwide tax system with deferral, among other changes. As a fiscal year taxpayer, the Company is not subject to the majority of the provisions until fiscal 2019. However, for its first quarter and full year fiscal 2018, the Company has applied a blended

corporate income tax rate of 24.5% from the previous 35%, and remeasured its U.S. federal net deferred tax liabilities to the newly enacted tax rates. These estimated tax benefits were partially offset by the provisional amount recorded for the one-time repatriation tax on accumulated undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries and certain equity investments that are indefinitely reinvested. Collectively, the Tax Act did not materially affect the Company’s net earnings during the quarter.
Earnings per share of $1.57 increased 208% over the prior year quarter earnings per share of $0.51. The results for the first quarter of fiscal 2018 included $0.792023 demonstrate the overall strength and resilience of our brand, despite continued COVID-19 pandemic related to the net gain from remeasuring our preexisting 50% ownership interestdisruptions in our East China joint venture to fair value upon acquisitionmarket and $0.23 for other streamlining efforts, primarily thecontinued inflationary pressures. Consolidated net gains from the divestitures of the Tazo brand and our Taiwan joint venture.
Americas revenue grew by 7% to $4.3 billion, primarily driven by incremental revenues from 979 net new store openings over the past 12 months and comparable store sales growth of 2%. Operating income increased $21 million and operating margin of 23.0% declined 100 basis points from a year ago, primarily due to a food-related mix shift.
In our China/Asia Pacific segment, revenues grew by 9% to $844 million, primarily driven by incremental revenues from 1,033 net new stores over the past 12 months and a 1% increase in comparable store sales. The increase was partially offset by the conversion of our Singapore retail business to fully licensed operations in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017. Operating income grew 20% to $197 million, while operating margin expanded 210 basis points to 23.3%. The overall operating margin expansion was primarily due to sales leverage and favorable foreign currency translation.
In our EMEA segment, revenues increased $22 million, or 8%, primarily driven by favorable foreign currency translation and increased revenues from the opening of 365 net new licensed stores over the past 12 months. Partially offsetting the increase was a decrease in comparable store sales of 1%, which represents approximately 16% of the region's store portfolio. Operating margin declined 300 basis points to 13.8% primarily due to sales deleverage in our company-operated store portfolio.
Channel Development segment revenues grew by 1% to $560 million, primarily driven by higher foodservice, international and packaged coffee product sales, partially offset by lower revenues from competitive pricing on certain items. Operating income was flat and operating margin decreased 50 basis points to 43.4%$8.7 billion in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 primarily due to deleverage on cost of sales and lower income from our North American Coffee Partnership joint venture, partially offset by lower marketing expenses.
Fiscal 2018 — Financial Outlook for the Year
For fiscal 2018, we expect consolidated revenue growth in the range of 9% to 11% when2023 compared to fiscal 2017, with approximately 4% related to the acquisition of East China, offset by approximately 2% of other streamlining activities such as the sale of our Tazo brand and Taiwan joint venture, as well as the planned closure of our Teavana retail stores. Revenue growth for fiscal 2018 is expected to be driven by approximately 2,300 net new stores worldwide, comparable store sales and our continued focus on operational excellence, product innovation and enhancing our digital interactions with customers. Approximately 1,100 net new store openings will be in our China/Asia Pacific segment, approximately 900 net new stores coming from the Americas segment and the remaining store growth from the EMEA segment. Global comparable store sales growth for fiscal 2018 is expected to be near the low end of the targeted long-term 3% to 5% range.
Beginning$8.1 billion in the second quarter of fiscal 2018, East China’s operating results will be fully consolidated. While we expect significant revenue growth, the consolidated and CAP segment margins will decline for full fiscal year 2018. This is due to the change from a joint venture model to a company-operated model. Under the joint venture model, we recognized royalties and product sales within revenue and related product cost of goods sold as well as our proportionate share of East China’s net earnings, which we recorded within income from equity investees. This resulted in higher operating margin. Under the company-operated model, East China’s results are reflected in each income statement line item and therefore, the basis for its operating margin will be more consistent with our other company-operated markets. We will fully lap the transaction in the second quarter of fiscal 2019 and will begin reporting the comparable store sales growth as part of our China and CAP metrics after 13 months post acquisition in accordance with the Company's policy.
Earnings per share is expected to be in the range of $3.32 to $3.36 for full year fiscal 2018, which includes a $0.94 benefit from the East China acquisition gain, the largest portion of which was recognized in our first quarter of fiscal 2018. Revenue2022, primarily driven by strength in our U.S. business and growth in our International segment excluding China, partially offset by COVID-19 pandemic related disruptions in China and unfavorable foreign currency translation. Consolidated operating margin decreased 20 basis points from the prior year to 14.4%, primarily driven by previously committed investments in labor including enhanced store partner wages and benefits, inflationary pressures and sales deleverage in China, partially offset by strategic pricing in North America and sales leverage are expectedacross markets outside of China.
For both the North America segment and our U.S. market, comparable store sales increased 10% for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 compared to bean increase of 18% in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. Average ticket for both the North America segment and the U.S. market grew 9%, primarily driven by strategic pricing. The segment also experienced higher costs, primarily related to enhancements in retail store partner wages and benefits, as well as increased supply chain costs due to inflationary pressures.
For the International segment, comparable store sales declined 13% for the first quarter of fiscal 2023, driven by comparable store sales decline of 29% in our China market, which experienced suppressed customer mobility and store closures due to pandemic-related restrictions and a spike in infections. These contributed to a decline in both revenue and operating margin for the segment. The unfavorable impacts were partially offset by investmentsstrong growth in our partners (employees) and digital innovations. Savings generated frommajor international markets outside of China.
Net revenues for our Channel Development segment increased $61 million, or 15%, when compared with the lower U.S. corporate income tax rate are expected to fund the Company’s plans to increase returns to shareholders and accelerate certain investments.

We expect our fiscal 2018 consolidated effective tax rate to be approximately 23%, which includes a 5% benefit from the primarily non-taxable East China acquisition gain and approximately 5% benefit from the enacted Tax Act. The benefit from the Tax Act included 2% of net expense related to the required transition tax partially offset by a benefit from remeasuring our net deferred tax liabilities. We continue to assess the effects of the Tax Act on our consolidated financial statements, and because of our ongoing assessment, the actual effective tax rate for fiscal 2018 may differ from our initial estimate, primarily due to changes in interpretations of the Tax Act, any legislative or regulatory actions to address questions that arise, any related changes in accounting standards, or any updates or changes to estimates the Company has utilized to calculate the impacts.

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 capital expenditures,investing in new product innovations, related marketing supportways to serve our customers and partner and digital investments, returnsupporting our store partners, repaying maturing debts, as well as returning cash to shareholders through common stock cash dividend payments and discretionary share repurchases as well as otherand investing in new business opportunities related to our core and developing businesses such as Siren Retail. Further,businesses. 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 agenda.business. 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. On December 31, 2017, we acquired the remaining 50% interest of our East China joint venture for approximately $1.4 billion in the form of a payable to UPG. Approximately $1.3 billion had been settled as of the date of this filing, primarily through the use of cash and investments held in foreign subsidiaries.
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 at least the foreseeable future. Significant new joint ventures, acquisitions and/next 12 months.

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.
We consider the majority of undistributed earnings In this regard, we may incur additional debt, within targeted levels, as part of our foreign subsidiariesplans to fund our capital programs, including cash returns to shareholders through future dividends and equity investeesdiscretionary share repurchases as well as investing in new business opportunities. If necessary, we may pursue additional sources of December 31, 2017 to be indefinitely reinvestedfinancing, including both short-term and accordingly no foreign withholding taxes have been provided on such earnings. We have not, nor do we anticipate the need for, repatriated funds to the U.S. to satisfy domestic liquidity needs. However, the Tax Act requires a one-time transition tax for deemed repatriation of accumulated undistributed earnings of certain foreign investments. This one-time transition tax is payable over eight years, with most of the cash outlay expected to be made in the later years. In connection with our initial analysis, we have estimated a provisional amount of $241 million, of which $233 million of income taxes payable was included in other long-term liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, as of December 31, 2017. See Note 10, Income Taxes, for further discussion.

We regularly review our cash positions and our determination of permanentindefinite 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, beyond the Tax Act's one-time transition tax, which could be material. WeWhile we do not believe it is practicableanticipate the need for repatriated funds to calculate the amount of unrecognized deferred income taxes as there is a significant amount of uncertainty around the calculation.U.S. to satisfy domestic liquidity requirements, any foreign earnings which are not indefinitely reinvested may be repatriated at management’s discretion.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
There has been no material change in our off-balance sheet arrangements discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the 10-K.
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 Starbucks Cardsour 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 Starbucks Cardsour stored value cards are recognized upon redemption and not when cash is loaded, onto the Card, 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.
