(1) Net new stores include the closure of 132 Target Canada licensed stores in the second quarter of fiscal 2015.

Consolidated net revenues were $4.6 billion in Q2 FY15, an increase of 18% over Q2 FY14. The increase was primarily driven by incremental revenues from the acquisition of Starbucks Japan, a 7% increase in global comparable store sales and the opening of 1,511 net new stores over the past 12 months, and was partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation.

Consolidated operating income grew 21% to $777.5 million in Q2 FY15, up from $644.1 million in Q2 FY14. Consolidated operating margin of 17.0% expanded 40 basis points primarily driven by sales leverage and partially offset by the impact of our ownership change in Starbucks Japan, which drove 100 basis points of margin decline.

Operating income of $709.6 million in Q2 FY15 increased 17% from $605.6 million in Q2 FY14. Operating margin of 22.7% expanded 110 basis points primarily driven by sales leverage and partially offset by investments in our store partners (employees).

Net revenues for the EMEA segment were $280.3 million in Q2 FY15, a 10% decrease versus Q2 FY14. The decrease was primarily driven by unfavorable foreign currency translation and the shift in the portfolio towards more licensed stores. Partially offsetting the decrease was a 2% increase in comparable store sales.

Operating income increased 65% to $29.2 million in Q2 FY15, up from $17.7 million in Q2 FY14. Operating margin expanded 470 basis points to 10.4%, primarily due to sales leverage driven by the ongoing shift in the portfolio towards more licensed stores.

Operating income grew 29% to $112.4 million in Q2 FY15. Operating margin declined 1,390 basis points to 18.9% due to the impact of our ownership change in Starbucks Japan, which drove a 1,470 basis point decline. The remaining 80 basis point expansion was primarily driven by sales leverage.

Operating income of $156.1 million in Q2 FY15 grew 23% compared to Q2 FY14. Operating margin increased 210 basis points to 36.5%, primarily due to efficiencies in cost of goods sold, increased income from our North American Coffee Partnership and sales leverage.

The company expanded its Mobile Order and Pay functionality throughout the Pacific Northwest on March 17th; the feature, which allows customers to place an order in advance and pick it up at their selected Starbucks location, is now available in more than 650 stores in Washington, Idaho, Oregon and Alaska.

Non-GAAP Disclosure

In addition to the GAAP results provided in this release, the company provides consolidated non-GAAP earnings per share ("non-GAAP EPS") for Q4 and full year fiscal 2014, consolidated non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin and non-GAAP EPS for Q2 fiscal 2015, China/Asia Pacific (“CAP”) segment non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin for Q2 fiscal 2015, and projected consolidated non-GAAP EPS for Q3, Q4 and full year fiscal 2015. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or alternatives for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, and non-GAAP EPS are operating income, operating margin, and diluted net earnings per share, respectively. The company’s management believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures better enables investors to understand and evaluate the company’s historical and prospective operating performance.

The consolidated Q4 and full year fiscal 2014 non-GAAP EPS excludes the net benefit from transactions in Q4 fiscal 2014. The consolidated full year fiscal 2014 non-GAAP EPS also excludes the benefit recognized from a Kraft related litigation credit in Q1 fiscal 2014. The net benefit from transactions in Q4 fiscal 2014 includes a gain on the sale of our Malaysia equity method investment, partially offset by a loss on the sale of our Australia retail operations and transaction costs incurred related to the acquisition of Starbucks Japan. Management excludes these items because they believe the impacts do not reflect expected future gains or expenses and do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of the company’s future operating performance or comparisons to the company’s past operating performance.

The consolidated Q2 fiscal 2015 non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain Starbucks Japan acquisition-related items, specifically amortization expense from acquired intangible assets and transaction and integration costs. The Q2 fiscal 2015 CAP segment non-GAAP financial measures exclude the amortization expense from acquired intangible assets related to the acquisition of Starbucks Japan. Management excludes the acquisition-related transaction costs described above because they believe these items do not reflect expected future expenses and do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of the company’s future operating performance or comparisons to the company’s past operating performance. In addition, management believes it is useful to exclude the integration costs and the amortization of the acquired intangible assets when evaluating performance because they are not representative of our core business operations. Although these items will affect earnings per share beyond fiscal 2015, the majority of these costs will be recognized over a finite period of time. More specifically, the amounts of the acquired intangible assets are specific to the transaction and the related amortization was fixed at the time of acquisition and generally cannot subsequently be changed or influenced by management in a future period. Therefore, these items do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of the company’s fiscal 2015 operating performance or comparisons of the company’s fiscal 2015 operating performance to the company’s past operating performance or, with respect to the CAP segment, to a meaningful evaluation of the CAP segment’s operating performance or comparisons to the CAP segment’s past operating performance.

The projected consolidated non-GAAP EPS for Q3, Q4 and full year fiscal 2015 exclude certain Starbucks Japan acquisition-related items comprised of projected amortization expense from acquired intangible assets and transaction and integration costs. The projected consolidated non-GAAP EPS for full year fiscal 2015 also excludes the fair value gain in Q1. Management is excluding these items from our projected non-GAAP measures for the same reasons described above.

These non-GAAP financial measures may have limitations as analytical tools, and these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the company’s results as reported under GAAP. Other companies may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently than the company does, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.
