STARBUCKS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the 13 and 39 Weeks Ended July 3, 2005, and June 27, 2004
Note 1: Financial Statement Preparation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements as of July 3, 2005, and for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended July 3, 2005, and June 27, 2004, have been prepared by Starbucks Corporation (“Starbucks” or the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments and accruals, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the balance sheet, and statements of earnings and cash flows of the Company for the interim periods.
The financial information as of October 3, 2004, is derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended October 3, 2004 (“Fiscal 2004”), included in Item 8 in the Fiscal 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (Amendment No. 1) (“2004 10-K/A”). The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with management’s discussion and analysis and notes included in the 2004 10-K/A.
The earnings for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended July 3, 2005, are not necessarily indicative of the earnings that may be achieved for the entire fiscal year ending October 2, 2005.
Certain reclassifications of prior year’s balances have been made to conform to the current format. Specifically, Starbucks has reclassified its auction rate securities of $154.1 million, previously classified in “Cash and cash equivalents,” as “Short-term investments — available-for-sale securities” on the consolidated balance sheet as of October 3, 2004. The Company had historically classified these securities as cash equivalents based on management’s ability to liquidate its holdings during the predetermined interest rate reset auctions, which generally occurred within 90 days of acquiring the securities. Although management had determined the risk of failure of an auction process to be remote, the definition of a cash equivalent in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows” (“SFAS 95”), requires reclassification to short-term investments.
The Company has made corresponding adjustments to its consolidated statement of cash flows for the 39 weeks ended June 27, 2004 to reflect the gross purchases, sales and maturities of auction rate securities as investing activities rather than as a component of cash and cash equivalents. There was no impact on previously reported net earnings, cash flows from operating activities or shareholders’ equity as a result of this reclassification.
Additionally, the Company has reclassified its distributions received from equity investees on the consolidated statement of cash flows, from investing activities to operating activities, for the 39 weeks ended June 27, 2004. These distributions represented returns on the underlying equity investments, and therefore have been reclassified to be in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 95. There was no impact on the previously reported consolidated statements of earnings or consolidated balance sheets as a result of this reclassification.
Note 2: Restatement of Financial Statements
On February 7, 2005, the Office of the Chief Accountant of the SEC issued a letter to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants expressing its views regarding certain operating lease accounting issues and their application under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In light of this letter, the Company’s management initiated a review of its lease-related accounting and determined that its then-current method of accounting for leasehold improvements funded by landlord incentives or allowances under operating leases (tenant improvement allowances) and its then-current method of accounting for rent holidays were not in accordance with GAAP.
The Company had historically accounted for tenant improvement allowances as reductions to the related leasehold improvement asset on the consolidated balance sheets and capital expenditures in investing activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows. Management determined that the appropriate interpretation of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Technical Bulletin No. 88-1, “Issues Relating to Accounting for Leases,” requires these allowances to be recorded as deferred rent liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and as a component of operating activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows. Additionally, this adjustment results in a reclassification of the deferred rent amortization from “Depreciation and amortization expenses” to “Cost of sales including occupancy costs” on the consolidated statements of earnings.
The Company had historically recognized rent holiday periods on a straight-line basis over the lease term commencing with the initial occupancy date, or Company-operated retail store opening date. The store opening date coincided with the

commencement of business operations, which is the intended use of the property. Management re-evaluated FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-3, “Accounting for Operating Leases with Scheduled Rent Increases,” and determined that the lease term should commence on the date the Company takes possession of the leased space for construction purposes, which is generally two months prior to a store opening date. Excluding tax impacts, the correction of this accounting requires the Company to record additional deferred rent in “Accrued occupancy costs” and “Other long-term liabilities” and to adjust “Retained earnings” on the consolidated balance sheets as well as to correct amortization in “Cost of sales including occupancy costs” on the consolidated statements of earnings.
As a result of the above, the Company previously restated its consolidated balance sheet as of October 3, 2004 in its 2004 10-K/A. Following is a summary of the effects of the lease accounting corrections and the retroactive adjustments as discussed in Note 4 from the Company’s acquisition of 100% of its licensed operations in Germany on the Company’s consolidated statements of earnings for the 13 and 39 weeks ended June 27, 2004 (in thousands, except share data):

Note 3: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
The Company maintains several stock compensation plans under which, among other instruments, incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options may be granted to employees, consultants and non-employee directors. The Company also maintains employee stock purchase plans (“ESPP”). Starbucks accounts for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic value method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. Accordingly, because the stock option grant price equals the market price on the date of grant, and any purchase discounts under the ESPP are within statutory limits, no compensation expense is recognized by the Company for stock-based compensation.

Had compensation cost been recognized based upon the estimated fair value on the grant date of stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation,” (“SFAS 123”) as amended by SFAS No. 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation — Transition and Disclosure,” the Company’s net earnings and earnings per share by using the Black-Scholes option valuation model would have been as follows (in thousands, except earnings per share):

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), a revision of SFAS 123. SFAS 123R will require Starbucks to, among other things, measure all employee stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method and record such expense in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The provisions of SFAS 123R, as amended by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, “Share-Based Payment,” are effective no later than the beginning of the next fiscal year that begins after June 15, 2005, and Starbucks will adopt the new requirements in its first fiscal quarter of 2006 using the modified prospective transition method. The adoption of SFAS 123R will reduce the Company’s future net earnings. Management continues to evaluate the impacts of SFAS 123R and related interpretations to quantify the expected financial impacts.
In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143” (“FIN 47”). FIN 47 requires the recognition of a liability for the fair value of a legally-required conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred, if the liability’s fair value can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company has not yet determined the impact of adoption on its consolidated statement of earnings and balance sheet.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 109-1, “Application of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004” (“FSP 109-1”). FSP 109-1 states that qualified domestic production activities should be accounted for as a special deduction under SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” and not be treated as a rate reduction. The provisions of FSP 109-1 are effective immediately. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the new Act, which will allow Starbucks to qualify for a benefit beginning in fiscal 2006.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 109-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004” (“FSP 109-2”). The American Jobs Creation Act allows a special one-time dividends received deduction on the repatriation of certain foreign earnings to a U.S. taxpayer (repatriation provision), provided certain criteria are met. The Company may elect to repatriate earnings in either fiscal 2005 or fiscal 2006. FSP 109-2 provides accounting and disclosure guidance for the repatriation provision. Although FSP 109-2 is effective immediately, it allows companies additional time beyond the enactment date to evaluate the effects of the provision on its plan for investment or repatriation of unremitted foreign earnings. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the new Act to determine whether it will repatriate foreign earnings and the impact, if any, this pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements. In addition, the U.S. Treasury Department is

expected to provide additional clarifying guidance on certain elements of the repatriation provision. Earnings under consideration for repatriation range from $0 to $100 million and the related income tax effects from such repatriation cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. As provided in FSP 109-2, Starbucks has not adjusted its tax expense or deferred tax liability to reflect the repatriation provision.
In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” (“SFAS 151”). SFAS 151 clarifies that abnormal inventory costs such as costs of idle facilities, excess freight and handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) are required to be recognized as current period charges. The provisions of SFAS 151 are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 151 in fiscal 2006 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet or statement of earnings.
Note 4: Business Acquisitions
On April 6, 2005, Starbucks acquired substantially all of the assets of Ethos Brands, LLC, (“Ethos”), a privately held bottled water company based in Santa Monica, California, for $8 million. The earnings of Ethos are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.
In November 2004, Starbucks increased its equity ownership from 18% to 100% for its licensed operations in Germany. As a result, management determined that a change in accounting method, from the cost method to the consolidation method, was necessary and included adjusting previously reported information for the Company’s proportionate share of net losses of 18% as required by APB Opinion No. 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock.” The cumulative effect of the accounting change for prior periods resulted in a reduction of retained earnings of $3.6 million as of October 4, 2004. See Note 19 in the Company’s 2004 10-K/A for additional information.
Note 5: Inventories
Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):

As of July 3, 2005, the Company had committed to fixed-price purchase contracts for green coffee totaling $261 million. The Company believes, based on relationships established with its suppliers, the risk of non-delivery on such purchase commitments is remote.
Note 6: Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company manages its exposure to various risks within the consolidated financial statements according to an umbrella risk management policy. Under this policy, Starbucks may engage in transactions involving various derivative instruments, with maturities generally not longer than five years, to hedge assets, liabilities, revenues and purchases.
Cash Flow Hedges
Starbucks and its subsidiaries, which include entities that use their local currency as their functional currency, enter into cash flow derivative instruments to hedge portions of anticipated revenue streams and inventory purchases. Current forward contracts hedge monthly forecasted revenue transactions denominated in Japanese yen and Canadian dollars, as well as forecasted inventory purchases denominated in U.S. dollars, euros and Swiss francs, for foreign operations. Additionally, the Company has swap contracts to hedge a portion of its forecasted U.S. fluid milk purchases. The effect of these swaps will fix the price paid by Starbucks for the monthly volume of milk purchases covered under the contracts on approximately 10% and 6% of its forecasted U.S. fluid milk purchases in fiscal 2005 and 2006, respectively.
The Company had accumulated net derivative losses of $3.7 million, net of taxes, in other comprehensive income as of July 3, 2005, related to cash flow hedges. Of this amount, $2.8 million of net derivative losses will be reclassified into earnings within 12 months. No cash flow hedges were discontinued during the 13-week or 39-week periods ended July 3, 2005, and June 27, 2004. Current contracts will expire within 15 months.

Net Investment Hedges
Net investment derivative instruments hedge the Company’s equity method investment in Starbucks Coffee Japan, Ltd. to minimize foreign currency exposure to fluctuations in the Japanese yen. The Company applies the spot-to-spot method for these forward foreign exchange contracts, and under this method the change in fair value of the forward contracts attributable to the changes in spot exchange rates (the effective portion) is reported in other comprehensive income. The remaining change in fair value of the forward contract (the ineffective portion) is reclassified into earnings in “Interest and other income, net.” The Company had accumulated net derivative losses of $3.8 million, net of taxes, in other comprehensive income as of July 3, 2005, related to net investment derivative hedges. Current contracts expire within 21 months.

Note 9: Comprehensive Income
Comprehensive income includes all changes in equity during the period, except those resulting from transactions with shareholders and subsidiaries of the Company. It has two components: net earnings and other comprehensive income. Accumulated other comprehensive income reported on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets consists of foreign currency translation adjustments and the unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable taxes, on available-for-sale securities and on derivative instruments designated and qualifying as cash flow and net investment hedges. Comprehensive income, net of related tax effects, is as follows (in thousands):

The unfavorable translation adjustment change for the 13-week period ended July 3, 2005 of $21.1 million was primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the euro and British pound sterling. The unfavorable translation adjustment change for the 13-week period ended June 27, 2004 of $4.7 million was primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar and Japanese yen.
For the 39-week period ended July 3, 2005, the unfavorable translation adjustment change of $4.8 million was primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the euro. The favorable translation adjustment change for the 39-week period ended June 27, 2004, of $15.9 million was primarily due to the weakening of the U.S. dollar against the British pound sterling and Japanese yen.
The components of accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, were as follows (in thousands):

earnings per share. For the 13-week period ended July 3, 2005, these options totaled 6.7 million and for the 13-week period ended June 27, 2004, these options totaled thirteen thousand during which periods the average market price of the Company’s common stock was $52.01 and $39.84, respectively. For the 39-week period ended July 3, 2005, these options totaled 5.6 million and for the 39-week period ended June 27, 2004, these options totaled one hundred twenty thousand during which periods the average market price of the Company’s common stock was $53.48 and $35.74, respectively.
Note 11: Commitments and Contingencies
The Company has unconditionally guaranteed the repayment of certain Japanese yen-denominated bank loans and related interest and fees of an unconsolidated equity investee, Starbucks Coffee Japan, Ltd. The guarantees continue until the loans, including accrued interest and fees, have been paid in full, with the final loan amount due in 2014. The maximum amount is limited to the sum of unpaid principal and interest amounts, as well as other related expenses. These amounts will vary based on fluctuations in the yen foreign exchange rate. As of July 3, 2005, the maximum amount of the guarantees was approximately $9.8 million. Since there has been no modification of these loan guarantees subsequent to the Company’s adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indebtedness of Others,” Starbucks has applied the disclosure provisions only and has not recorded the guarantee on its consolidated balance sheet.
During the 39-week period ended July 3, 2005, Starbucks entered into commitments under which it unconditionally guaranteed its proportionate share, or 50%, of bank line of credit borrowings of certain unconsolidated equity investees. The Company’s maximum exposure under these commitments is approximately $4.7 million, excluding interest and other related costs, and the majority of these commitments expire in 2007. As of July 3, 2005, the Company recorded $2.7 million to “Equity and other investments” and “Other long-term liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheet for the fair value of the guarantee arrangements.
Coffee brewing and espresso equipment sold to customers through Company-operated and licensed retail stores as well as equipment sold to the Company’s licensees for use in retail licensing operations are under warranty for defects in materials and workmanship for a period ranging from 12 to 24 months. The Company establishes an accrual for estimated warranty costs at the time of sale, based on historical experience. Product warranty costs and changes to the related accrual were not significant for the 39-week period ended July 3, 2005.
On June 3, 2004, two current employees of the Company filed a lawsuit, entitled Sean Pendlebury and Laurel Overton v. Starbucks Coffee Company, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida claiming the Company violated requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The suit alleges that the Company misclassified its retail store managers as exempt from the overtime provisions of the FLSA and that the managers are therefore entitled to overtime compensation for any week in which they worked more than 40 hours during the past three years. Plaintiffs seek to represent themselves and all similarly situated U.S. current and former store managers of the Company. Plaintiffs seek reimbursement for an unspecified amount of unpaid overtime compensation, liquidated damages, attorney’s fees and costs. Plaintiffs also filed on June 3, 2004 a motion for conditional collective action treatment and court-supervised notice to additional putative class members under the opt-in procedures in section 16(b) of the FLSA. On January 3, 2005, the district court entered an order authorizing nationwide notice of the lawsuit to all current and former store managers employed by the Company during the past three years. The Company filed a motion for summary judgment as to the claims of the named plaintiffs on September 24, 2004. The court denied that motion because this case is in the early stages of discovery, but the court noted that the Company may resubmit this motion at a later date. Starbucks believes that the plaintiffs are properly classified as exempt under the federal wage laws and that a loss in this case is unlikely. Due to the early status of this case, the Company cannot estimate the possible loss to the Company, if any. Trial currently is set for early 2006, and the Company intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit.
In addition to the lawsuit described above, the Company is party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business, but it is not currently a party to any legal proceeding that management believes would have a material adverse effect on the consolidated balance sheet or statement of earnings of the Company.

Note 13: Subsequent Events
In July 2005, Starbucks increased its equity ownership to 51% and 100% in its licensed operations in Southern China and Chile, respectively, for a combined total of approximately $15 million. Previously, the Company owned 5% in Coffee Concepts (Southern China) Limited and 15% in Sur-Andino Café S.A. Retroactive application of the equity method of accounting for these investments, which were previously accounted for under the cost method, is not expected to significantly impact the Company’s previously reported consolidated balance sheets or statements of earnings. The Company will use the consolidation method to account for its 51% ownership in Southern China and its 100% ownership in Chile.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995
Certain statements herein, including anticipated store openings, trends in or expectations regarding Starbucks Corporation’s revenue and net earnings growth, effective tax rate, cash flow requirements and capital expenditures, all constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are based on currently available operating, financial and competitive information and are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Actual future results and trends may differ materially depending on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, coffee, dairy and other raw materials prices and availability, successful execution of internal performance and expansion plans, fluctuations in United States and international economies and currencies, the ability to manage the impact on the Company’s business of disruptions such as regional political instability, war, terrorist activities, and health epidemics or pandemics, the impact of competitors’ initiatives, the effect of legal proceedings, and other risks detailed herein and in Starbucks Corporation’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including the “Certain Additional Risks and Uncertainties” section of the Starbucks Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended October 3, 2004.
A forward-looking statement is neither a prediction nor a guarantee of future events or circumstances, and those future events or circumstances may not occur. Users should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. The Company is under no obligation to update or alter any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
This information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes, and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended October 3, 2004.
General
Starbucks Corporation’s fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to September 30. Fiscal year 2004 had 53 weeks, with the 53rd week falling in the fiscal fourth quarter. The fiscal year ending on October 2, 2005 will include 52 weeks.
Restatement of Financial Statements
On February 7, 2005, the Office of the Chief Accountant of the SEC issued a letter to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants expressing its views regarding certain operating lease accounting issues and their application under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP”). The Company’s management determined that its then-current method of accounting for leasehold improvements funded by landlord incentives or allowances under operating leases (tenant improvement allowances) and its then-current method of accounting for rent holidays were not in accordance with GAAP. As a result, the Company restated its consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended October 3, 2004. For additional information, see Note 2 to the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended October 3, 2004.
See Note 2 in Item 1 of this Report for a summary of the effect of this change on the Company’s consolidated statement of earnings and cash flows for the 13 and 39 weeks ended June 27, 2004.
Management Overview
During both the 13 and 39-week periods ended July 3, 2005, all areas of Starbucks business, from U.S. and International Company-operated retail operations to the Company’s specialty businesses, delivered strong financial performance. Starbucks believes the Company’s ability to achieve the balance between growing the core business and building the foundation for future growth is the key to increasing long-term shareholder value. Starbucks quarterly and year-to-date fiscal 2005 performance reflects the Company’s continuing commitment to achieving this balance.
The primary driver of the Company’s revenue growth continues to be the opening of new retail stores, both Company-operated and licensed, in pursuit of the Company’s objective to establish Starbucks as one of the most recognized and respected brands in the world. With a presence in 35 countries, management continues to believe that the Company’s long-term goal of 15,000 Starbucks retail locations throughout the United States and at least 15,000 stores in International markets is achievable.

In addition to opening new retail stores, Starbucks is targeting to increase revenues generated at new and existing Company-operated stores by attracting new customers and increasing the frequency of visits by current customers. The strategy is to increase first year average store sales and comparable store sales by continuously improving the level of customer service, introducing innovative products and improving the speed of service through training, technology and process improvement.
In licensed retail operations, Starbucks shares operating and store development experience to help licensees improve the profitability of existing stores and build new stores, which is expected to generate additional royalty income and product sales. The Company’s strategy is to selectively increase its equity stake in licensed international operations as these markets develop.
The combination of more retail stores, higher revenues from existing stores including comparable store sales growth of 7% and growth in other business channels in both the United States and International operating segments resulted in a 21% increase in total net revenues for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2005, compared to the same period of fiscal 2004. This was slightly above the Company’s three to five year revenue growth target of approximately 20%. Comparable store sales growth was 8% for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005, compared to the same period of fiscal 2004.
Since additional retail stores can leverage existing support organizations and facilities, the Company’s infrastructure can be expanded more slowly than the rate of revenue growth and generate margin improvement. For the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2005, operating income as a percentage of total net revenues increased to 12.5% from 11.6% in the same period of fiscal 2004, and net earnings increased by 29%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2004. For the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005, operating income as a percentage of total net revenues increased to 12.4% from 11.8% in the same period of fiscal 2004, and net earnings increased by 29%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2004. These results demonstrated the Company’s ability to improve operating margin while at the same time making strategic investments in the core retail business and in emerging specialty channels. The Company’s International operations delivered improved operating results, primarily due to leverage gained on most operating expenses distributed over an expanded revenue base. In recent fiscal years, the Company made substantial infrastructure investments in corporate and regional support facilities and personnel, as well as established more efficient distribution networks. Such investments were necessary to support the Company’s planned international expansion, which is now realizing substantial benefit from this foundation.

Total net revenues for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2005, increased 21% to $1.6 billion from $1.3 billion for the corresponding period of fiscal 2004, driven by increases in both Company-operated retail revenues and specialty operations.
During the 13-week period ended July 3, 2005, Starbucks derived 85% of total net revenues from its Company-operated retail stores. Company-operated retail revenues increased 22% to $1.4 billion for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2005, from $1.1 billion for the same period in fiscal 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to the opening of 713 new Company-operated retail stores in the last 12 months and comparable store sales growth of 7% for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2005. The increase in comparable store sales was due to a 4% increase in the average value per transaction and a 3% increase in the number of customer transactions. The increase in average value per transaction was primarily attributable to a beverage price increase in October 2004 in the Company’s U.S. and Canadian markets. Management believes increased traffic in Company-operated retail stores continues to be driven by sustained popularity of core products, new product innovation, a high level of customer satisfaction and improved speed of service through enhanced technology, training and execution at retail stores.
The Company derived the remaining 15% of total net revenues from its specialty operations. Specialty revenues, which include licensing revenues and foodservice and other revenues, increased 16% to $245 million for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2005, from $211 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 2004.
Licensing revenues, which are derived from retail store licensing arrangements, grocery and warehouse club licensing, and certain other branded-product operations, increased 17% to $170 million for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2005, from $145 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to higher product sales and royalty revenues from the opening of 839 new licensed retail stores in the last 12 months.
Foodservice and other revenues increased 14% to $75 million for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2005, from $66 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to the growth in new and existing U.S.

and International foodservice accounts.
Cost of sales including occupancy costs decreased to 40.6% of total net revenues for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2005, compared to 41.0% for the corresponding period of fiscal 2004. The decrease was primarily due to a higher average revenue per retail transaction, offset in part by higher average rent expense in International markets. Dairy costs were moderately lower for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2005, compared to the same period in fiscal 2004.
Store operating expenses as a percentage of Company-operated retail revenues decreased to 40.2% for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2005, from 40.4% for the corresponding period of fiscal 2004, primarily due to higher average revenue per retail transaction, partially offset by higher payroll expenditures. In order to facilitate ongoing, accelerated retail store growth, the Company has been increasing the number of assistant store managers and opening a higher number of drive-thru locations over the past year, which has contributed to the higher payroll expenditures.
Other operating expenses (expenses associated with the Company’s specialty operations) decreased to 19.8% of total specialty revenues for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2005, compared to 21.0% in the corresponding period of fiscal 2004. The decrease was primarily due to lower expenditures within the grocery and warehouse club channels, partially offset by higher costs associated with expanding emerging specialty businesses, such as music and consumer products.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased to $85 million for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2005, compared to $73 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 2004. The increase was primarily due to the opening of 713 new Company-operated retail stores in the last 12 months. As a percentage of total net revenues, depreciation and amortization expenses decreased to 5.3% for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2005, from 5.5% for the corresponding 13-week period of fiscal 2004.
General and administrative expenses increased to $91 million for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2005, compared to $73 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 2004. The increase was primarily due to higher provisions for incentive compensation and increased charitable commitments. As a percentage of total net revenues, general and administrative expenses increased to 5.7% for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2005 from 5.6% for the corresponding period of fiscal 2004.
Income from equity investees increased to $18 million for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2005, compared to $13 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 2004. The increase was primarily due to volume-driven operating results for The North American Coffee Partnership, which produces bottled Frappuccino® coffee drinks and Starbucks DoubleShot® espresso drink, and improved operating results from international investees, particularly Korea and Japan.
Operating income increased 30% to $200 million for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2005, compared to $153 million for the corresponding 13-week period of fiscal 2004. As a result of lower store and other operating expenses as a percentage of related revenues, operating margin increased to 12.5% of total net revenues for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2005, compared to 11.6% for the corresponding period of fiscal 2004.
Interest and other income decreased 27% to $3 million for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2005, compared to $4 million for the corresponding 13-week period of fiscal 2004, primarily due to higher realized losses on sales of securities and lower realized foreign currency exchange gains compared to fiscal 2004. Starbucks funded the majority of its share repurchases during the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2005, through the sales of its available-for-sale securities, which contributed to the increased amount of realized losses.
Income taxes for the 13-week periods ended July 3, 2005 and June 27, 2004 both resulted in an effective tax rate of 38.1%.

Table of Contents

July 3, 2005, compared to $947 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 2004, primarily due to the opening of 585 new Company-operated retail stores in the last 12 months and comparable store sales growth of 7% for the quarter. The increase in comparable store sales was due to a 4% increase in the average value per transaction, including 3% attributable to a beverage price increase in October 2004, and a 3% increase in the number of customer transactions.
Total United States specialty revenues increased $25 million, or 14%, to $198 million for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2005, compared to $173 million in the corresponding period of fiscal 2004. United States licensing revenues increased $17 million, or 16%, to $129 million, compared to $112 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 2004. The increase was primarily due to higher product sales and royalty revenues as a result of opening 519 new licensed retail stores in the last 12 months, and, to a lesser extent, growth in the grocery and warehouse club business. United States foodservice and other revenues increased 12%, to $69 million from $61 million in fiscal 2004, primarily due to growth in new and existing foodservice accounts.
United States operating income increased by 30% to $245 million for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2005, from $189 million for the same period in fiscal 2004. Operating margin increased to 18.3% of related revenues from 16.9% in the corresponding period of fiscal 2004, primarily due to leverage from strong revenue growth and cost control throughout all areas of the business.
International
International operations (“International”) sells coffee and other beverages, whole bean coffees, complementary food, coffee brewing equipment and merchandise through Company-operated retail stores in Canada, the United Kingdom, Thailand, Australia, Singapore, Germany and China. Specialty operations in International primarily include retail store licensing operations in more than 25 other countries and foodservice accounts in Canada and the United Kingdom. Certain of the Company’s International operations are in various early stages of development that necessitate a more extensive support organization relative to the current levels of revenue and operating income, than in the United States.
International total net revenues increased $64 million, or 32%, to $262 million for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2005, compared to $198 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 2004.
International Company-operated retail revenues increased $54 million, or 34%, to $215 million for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2005, compared to $161 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 2004, primarily due to the opening of 128 new Company-operated retail stores in the last 12 months, comparable store sales growth of 7% for the quarter and favorable foreign currency exchange rates for both the Canadian dollar and the British pound sterling. The increase in comparable store sales resulted from a 4% increase in the number of customer transactions coupled with a 3% increase in the average value per transaction.
Total International specialty revenues increased $10 million, or 25%, to $47 million for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2005, compared to $38 million in the corresponding period of fiscal 2004. The increase was primarily due to higher product sales and royalty revenues from opening 320 new licensed retail stores in the last 12 months and growth in new and existing international foodservice accounts.
International operating income increased by 41% to $19 million for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2005, compared to $13 million in the corresponding period of fiscal 2004. Operating margin increased to 7.2% of related revenues from 6.8% in the corresponding period of fiscal 2004, due to leverage gained on fixed costs distributed over an expanded revenue base and increased income from equity investees, particularly in Korea and Japan.
Unallocated Corporate
Unallocated corporate expenses pertain to certain functions, such as executive management, accounting, administration, tax, treasury, and information technology infrastructure, which are not specifically attributable to the Company’s operating segments, and include related depreciation and amortization expenses. Unallocated corporate expenses increased to $64 million for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2005, compared to $49 million in the corresponding period of fiscal 2004, primarily due to higher payroll-related expenditures and increased charitable commitments. The higher payroll-related expenditures resulted from modest headcount growth and higher provisions for incentive compensation. Total unallocated corporate expenses as a percentage of total net revenues increased to 4.0% for the 13 weeks ended July 3, 2005 compared to 3.7% for the corresponding period of fiscal 2004.

Total net revenues for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005, increased 23% to $4.7 billion from $3.8 billion for the corresponding period of fiscal 2004, driven by increases in both Company-operated retail revenues and specialty operations.
During the 39-week period ended July 3, 2005, Starbucks derived 85% of total net revenues from its Company-operated retail stores. Company-operated retail revenues increased 23% to $4.0 billion for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005, from $3.2 billion for the same period in fiscal 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to the opening of 713 new Company-operated retail stores in the last 12 months and comparable store sales growth of 8% for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005. The increase in comparable store sales was due to a 4% increase in the number of customer transactions and a 4% increase in the average value per transaction. Management believes increased traffic in Company-operated retail stores continues to be driven by sustained popularity of core products, new product innovation, a high level of customer satisfaction and improved speed of service through enhanced technology, training and execution at retail stores. The increase in average value per transaction was primarily due to a beverage price increase in October 2004 in the Company’s U.S. and Canadian markets.
The Company derived the remaining 15% of total net revenues from its specialty operations. Specialty revenues, which include licensing revenues and foodservice and other revenues, increased 18% to $711 million for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005, from $602 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 2004.
Licensing revenues, which are derived from retail store licensing arrangements, grocery and warehouse club licensing, and certain other branded-product operations, increased 22% to $489 million for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005, from $401 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 2004. The increase was primarily a result of higher product sales and royalty revenues from the opening of 839 new licensed retail stores in the last 12 months.
Foodservice and other revenues increased 11% to $222 million for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005, from $201 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to the growth in new and existing U.S.

Cost of sales including occupancy costs as a percentage of total net revenues decreased to 40.9% for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005, from 41.1% for the corresponding period of fiscal 2004. The decrease was primarily due to higher average revenue per retail transaction, offset in part by higher initial costs associated with the continued expansion of the lunch program in Company-operated stores.
Store operating expenses as a percentage of Company-operated retail revenues increased to 40.0% for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005, from 39.5% for the corresponding period of fiscal 2004. The increase was primarily due to higher payroll-related expenditures, as well as higher maintenance and repair expenditures to ensure a consistent Starbucks Experience in existing stores. The higher payroll-related expenditures were primarily the result of increasing the number of assistant store managers, opening a higher number of drive-thru locations over the past year, and extended store operating hours. The Starbucks Experience, or third place experience after home and work, is built upon superior customer service as well as clean and well-maintained Company-operated retail stores.
Other operating expenses (expenses associated with the Company’s specialty operations) decreased to 19.6% of total specialty revenues for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005, compared to 21.4% in the corresponding period of fiscal 2004. The decrease was primarily due to lower expenditures within the grocery and warehouse club channels and efficiencies gained from expansion of the foodservice distribution network, partially offset by higher costs associated with the expanding emerging specialty businesses, such as music and consumer products.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased to $252 million for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005, compared to $215 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 2004. The increase was primarily due to the opening of 713 new Company-operated retail stores in the last 12 months. As a percentage of total net revenues, depreciation and amortization expenses decreased to 5.3% for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005, from 5.6% for the corresponding 39-week period of fiscal 2004.
General and administrative expenses increased to $256 million for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005, compared to $224 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 2004. The increase was primarily due to higher payroll-related expenditures and professional fees in support of both domestic and international expansion, as well as increased charitable commitments. As a percentage of total net revenues, general and administrative expenses decreased to 5.4% for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005 from 5.8% for the corresponding period of fiscal 2004.
Income from equity investees increased to $47 million for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005, compared to $35 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 2004. The increase was primarily due to volume driven operating results for The North American Coffee Partnership, which produces bottled Frappuccino® coffee drinks and Starbucks DoubleShot® espresso drink, and improved operating results from international investees, particularly in Japan and Korea.
Operating income increased 29% to $584 million for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005, compared to $452 million for the corresponding 39-week period of fiscal 2004. Operating margin increased to 12.4% of total net revenues for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005, compared to 11.8% for the corresponding period of fiscal 2004, primarily due to strong revenue growth and cost control throughout most areas of the business, partially offset by higher retail store operating expenses as discussed above.
Interest and other income increased to $12 million for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005, compared to $11 million in the corresponding period of fiscal 2004, primarily due to interest income earned on higher cash and liquid investment balances for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005, compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2004. Partially offsetting this increase were higher realized losses on available-for-sale securities and foreign exchange losses versus gains in fiscal 2004.
Income taxes for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005 resulted in an effective tax rate of 37.8%, compared to 38.1% in the corresponding period of fiscal 2004.

Total United States specialty revenues increased $83 million, or 17%, to $579 million for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005, compared to $496 million in the corresponding period of fiscal 2004. United States licensing revenues increased $67 million, or 22%, to $375 million, compared to $308 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 2004. The increase was primarily due to higher product sales and royalty revenues as a result of opening 519 new licensed retail stores in the last 12 months, and, to a lesser extent, growth in the grocery and warehouse club channels. United States foodservice and other revenues increased $16 million, or 8%, to $204 million from $189 million in fiscal 2004, primarily due to growth in new and existing foodservice accounts.
United States operating income increased by 23% to $707 million for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005, from $576 million for the same period in fiscal 2004. Operating margin increased to 17.9% of related revenues from 17.6% in the corresponding period of fiscal 2004, primarily due to leverage from strong revenue growth and cost control throughout the business, partially offset by higher store operating expenses. Increased store operating expenses resulted from higher payroll-related expenditures as well as higher maintenance and repair expenditures to ensure a consistent Starbucks Experience in existing stores. The higher payroll-related expenditures were primarily the result of increasing the number of assistant store managers, opening a higher number of drive-thru locations over the past year, and extended store operating hours.
International
International total net revenues increased $181 million, or 31%, to $755 million for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005, compared to $575 million for the corresponding period of fiscal 2004.
International Company-operated retail revenues increased $154 million, or 33%, to $623 million for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005, compared to $469 million for the corresponding period for fiscal 2004, primarily due to the opening of 128 new Company-operated retail stores in the last 12 months, favorable foreign currency exchange rates for both the Canadian dollar and British pound sterling, and comparable store sales growth of 7% for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005. The increase in comparable store sales resulted from a 4% increase in the number of customer transactions coupled with a 3% increase in the average value per transaction.
Total International specialty revenues increased $26 million, or 25%, to $132 million for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005, compared to $106 million in the corresponding period of fiscal 2004. The increase was primarily due to higher product sales and royalty revenues from opening 320 new licensed retail stores in the last 12 months and growth in new and existing international foodservice accounts, particularly in the United Kingdom.
International operating income increased to $56 million for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005, from $32 million in the corresponding period of fiscal 2004. Operating margin increased to 7.4% of related revenues from 5.6% in the corresponding period of fiscal 2004, primarily due to leverage gained on fixed costs distributed over an expanded revenue base.
Unallocated Corporate
Unallocated corporate expenses pertain to certain functions, such as executive management, accounting, administration, tax, treasury, and information technology infrastructure, which are not specifically attributable to the Company’s operating segments, and include related depreciation and amortization expenses. Unallocated corporate expenses increased to $179 million for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005, compared to $157 million in the corresponding period of fiscal 2004. The increase was primarily due to higher payroll-related expenditures as well as higher professional fees, in support of both domestic and international expansion. Total unallocated corporate expenses as a percentage of total net revenues decreased to 3.8% for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005 compared to 4.1% for the corresponding period of fiscal 2004.

Starbucks has reclassified its auction rate securities of $154.1 million, previously classified in “Cash and cash equivalents,” as “Short-term investments — available-for-sale securities” on the consolidated balance sheet as of October 3, 2004. The Company had historically classified these securities as cash equivalents based on management’s ability to liquidate its holdings during the predetermined interest rate reset auctions, which generally occurred within 90 days of acquiring the securities. Although management had determined the risk of failure of an auction process to be remote, the definition of a cash equivalent in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” required reclassification to short-term investments.
The Company has made corresponding adjustments to its consolidated statement of cash flows for the prior year to reflect the gross purchases, sales and maturities of auction rate securities as investing activities rather than as a component of cash and cash equivalents. There was no impact on previously reported cash flows from operating activities as a result of the reclassification.
The Company manages its cash, cash equivalents and liquid investments in order to internally fund operating needs. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $15 million for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005, to $130 million. The Company had $432 million in total cash and cash equivalents and liquid investments at July 3, 2005, a decrease of $356 million compared to $788 million at October 3, 2004, due primarily to the sale of securities to fund common stock share repurchases.
The Company intends to use its available cash resources to invest in its core businesses and other new business opportunities related to its core businesses. The Company may use its available cash resources to make proportionate capital contributions to its equity method and cost method investees, as well as purchase larger ownership interest in selected equity method investees, particularly in international markets. Depending on market conditions, Starbucks may acquire additional shares of its common stock under its authorized share repurchase program. Management believes that existing cash and investments, as well as the strong cash flow generated from operations, should be sufficient to finance capital requirements for its core businesses for the foreseeable future. Significant new joint ventures, acquisitions, share repurchases and/or other new business opportunities will likely require outside funding.
Other than normal operating expenses, cash requirements for the remainder of fiscal 2005 are expected to consist primarily of capital expenditures for new Company-operated retail stores and the remodeling and refurbishment of existing Company-operated retail stores, as well as for any additional share repurchases. Management expects capital expenditures in fiscal 2005 to be at the low end of its original fiscal 2005 estimated range of $600 million to $650 million. For fiscal 2006, management expects capital expenditures to be in the range of $700 million to $725 million, related to opening approximately 850 Company-operated stores on a global basis, remodeling certain existing stores and enhancing its production capacity and information systems.
Cash provided by operating activities totaled $759 million for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005. Net earnings provided $371 million, further increased by non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses of $272 million and the tax benefit from the exercise of non-qualified stock options of $100 million.
Cash used by investing activities for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005, totaled $141 million. Net capital additions to property, plant and equipment used $470 million primarily for opening 465 new Company-operated retail stores and remodeling certain existing stores. Gross capital additions for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005, were $491 million and were offset by impairment provisions and foreign currency translation adjustments totaling $21 million. In November 2004, the Company increased its equity ownership from 18% to 100% for its licensed operations in Germany, which used $11 million, net of cash acquired. In April 2005, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of Ethos Brands, LLC, a privately held bottled water company based in Santa Monica, California, which used $8 million, net of cash acquired. Partially offsetting these uses of cash, the net activity in the available-for-sale securities portfolio provided $341

million for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005, which was used to fund a portion of the Company’s common stock share repurchases.
Cash used by financing activities for the 39 weeks ended July 3, 2005, totaled $632 million, which was primarily attributed to the Company’s common stock share repurchases, partially offset by proceeds received from the exercise of stock options and sale of stock under the Company’s employee stock purchase plans. The total remaining amount of shares authorized for repurchase as of July 3, 2005 was 12.6 million. Share repurchases are at the discretion of management and depend on market conditions, capital requirements and such other factors as management may consider relevant.

Starbucks continues to plan to open approximately 1,500 new stores on a global basis in fiscal 2005. In the United States, Starbucks plans to open approximately 550 Company-operated locations and 525 licensed locations. In International markets, Starbucks plans to open approximately 100 Company-operated stores and 325 licensed stores.
Starbucks plans to open approximately 1,800 new stores on a global basis in fiscal 2006. In the United States, Starbucks plans to open approximately 700 Company-operated locations and 600 licensed locations. In International markets, Starbucks plans to open approximately 150 Company-operated stores and 350 licensed stores.
Contractual Obligations
There have been no material changes during the period covered by this report, outside of the ordinary course of the Company’s business, to the contractual obligations specified in the table of contractual obligations included in the section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in the Company’s Fiscal 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement
The Company has unconditionally guaranteed the repayment of certain Japanese yen-denominated bank loans and related interest and fees of an unconsolidated equity investee, Starbucks Coffee Japan, Ltd. (“Starbucks Japan”). The guarantees continue until the loans, including accrued interest and fees, have been paid in full, with the final loan amount due in 2014. The maximum amount is limited to the sum of unpaid principal and interest amounts, as well as other related expenses. These amounts will vary based on fluctuations in the yen foreign exchange rate. As of July 3, 2005, the maximum amount of the guarantees was approximately $9.8 million. Since there has been no modification of these loan guarantees subsequent to the Company’s adoption of FASB Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indebtedness of Others,” Starbucks has applied the disclosure provisions only and has not recorded the guarantee on its balance sheet.

Product Warranties
Coffee brewing and espresso equipment sold to customers through Company-operated and licensed retail stores as well as equipment sold to the Company’s licensees for use in retail licensing operations are under warranty for defects in materials and workmanship for a period ranging from 12 to 24 months. The Company establishes an accrual for estimated warranty costs at the time of sale, based on historical experience. Product warranty costs and changes to the related accrual were not significant for the 39-week period ended July 3, 2005.
Commodity Prices, Availability and General Risk Conditions
The supply and price of coffee are subject to significant volatility. Although most green coffee trades in the commodity market, coffee of the quality sought by Starbucks tends to trade on a negotiated basis at a substantial premium above commodity coffee prices, depending upon the supply and demand at the time of purchase. Supply and price can be affected by multiple factors in the producing countries, including weather, political and economic conditions. In addition, green coffee prices have been affected in the past, and may be affected in the future, by the actions of certain organizations and associations that have historically attempted to influence commodity prices of green coffee through agreements establishing export quotas or restricting coffee supplies worldwide. The Company’s ability to raise sales prices in response to rising coffee prices may be limited, and the Company’s profitability could be adversely affected if coffee prices were to rise substantially.
With green coffee commodity costs at relatively low levels in recent years, the Company has used fixed-price purchase commitments in order to secure an adequate supply of quality green coffee, bring greater certainty to the cost of sales in future periods, and ensure a fair and sustainable price to coffee producers. As of July 3, 2005, the Company had $261 million in fixed-price purchase commitments which, together with existing inventory, is expected to provide an adequate supply of green coffee well into fiscal 2006. The Company believes, based on relationships established with its suppliers, the risk of non-delivery on such purchase commitments is remote. During the first few months of fiscal 2005, green coffee commodity prices increased significantly. Since then, commodity prices have moderated but still remain above the historically low levels experienced in recent years. Based on its market experience, the Company believes that fixed-price purchase commitments are less likely to be available on favorable terms when commodity prices are high. The Company therefore expects to return to its previous practice of price-to-be-fixed purchase contracts for green coffee purchases to meet at least some of its demand. The Company believes that, through a combination of fixed-price and price-to-be-fixed contracts it will be able to secure an adequate supply of quality green coffee. However, the use of price-to-be-fixed contracts instead of fixed-price contracts will decrease the predictability of coffee costs in future periods.
Fluid milk prices in the United States, which closely follow the monthly Class I fluid milk base price as calculated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, rose significantly in fiscal 2004 and remained at high levels during the first half of fiscal 2005. Although the Company’s dairy costs have declined in recent months, the Company’s profitability could be adversely affected should prices increase significantly. Management continues to monitor published dairy prices on the related commodities markets, but cannot predict with any certainty the future prices to be paid for dairy products.
In addition to fluctuating commodity prices, management believes that the Company’s future statements of earnings could be significantly impacted by other factors, such as increased competition within the specialty coffee industry, the Company’s ability to find optimal store locations at favorable lease rates, increased costs associated with opening and operating retail stores and the Company’s continued ability to hire, train and retain qualified personnel, as well as other factors discussed under “Certain Additional Risks and Uncertainties” in the “Business” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended October 3, 2004.
Seasonality and Quarterly Results
The Company’s business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Historically, significant portions of the Company’s net revenues and profits were, and may continue to be realized during the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal year, which includes the December holiday season. In addition, quarterly results are affected by the timing of the opening of new stores, and the Company’s rapid growth may conceal the impact of other seasonal influences. Because of the seasonality of the Company’s business, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), a revision of SFAS 123. SFAS 123R will require Starbucks to, among other things, measure all employee stock-based compensation awards using a fair value method and record such expense in the Company’s consolidated

Table of Contents

financial statements. The provisions of SFAS 123R, as amended by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, “Share-Based Payment,” are effective no later than the beginning of the next fiscal year that begins after June 15, 2005, and Starbucks will adopt the new requirements in its first fiscal quarter of 2006, using the modified prospective transition method. The adoption of SFAS 123R will reduce the Company’s future net earnings. Management continues to evaluate the impacts of SFAS 123R and related interpretations to quantify the expected financial impacts.
In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143” (“FIN 47”). FIN 47 requires the recognition of a liability for the fair value of a legally-required conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred, if the liability’s fair value can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company has not yet determined the impact of adoption on its consolidated statement of earnings and balance sheet.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 109-1, “Application of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004” (“FSP 109-1”). FSP 109-1 states that qualified domestic production activities should be accounted for as a special deduction under SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” and not be treated as a rate reduction. The provisions of FSP 109-1 are effective immediately. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the new Act, which will allow Starbucks to qualify for a benefit beginning in fiscal 2006.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 109-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004” (“FSP 109-2”). The American Jobs Creation Act allows a special one-time dividends received deduction on the repatriation of certain foreign earnings to a U.S. taxpayer (repatriation provision), provided certain criteria are met. The Company may elect to repatriate earnings in either fiscal 2005 or fiscal 2006. FSP 109-2 provides accounting and disclosure guidance for the repatriation provision. Although FSP 109-2 is effective immediately, it allows companies additional time beyond the enactment date to evaluate the effects of the provision on its plan for investment or repatriation of unremitted foreign earnings. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the new Act to determine whether it will repatriate foreign earnings and the impact, if any, this pronouncement will have on its consolidated financial statements. In addition, the U.S. Treasury Department is expected to provide additional clarifying guidance on certain elements of the repatriation provision. Earnings under consideration for repatriation range from $0 to $100 million and the related income tax effects from such repatriation cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. As provided in FSP 109-2, Starbucks has not adjusted its tax expense or deferred tax liability to reflect the repatriation provision.
In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4” (“SFAS 151”). SFAS 151 clarifies that abnormal inventory costs such as costs of idle facilities, excess freight and handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) are required to be recognized as current period charges. The provisions of SFAS 151 are effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 151 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet or statement of earnings.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
As of July 3, 2005, the Company had forward foreign exchange contracts that qualify as cash flow hedges under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” to hedge a portion of anticipated international revenue and product purchases. In addition, Starbucks had forward foreign exchange contracts that qualify as a hedge of its net investment in Starbucks Japan. These contracts expire within 21 months.
Based on the foreign exchange contracts outstanding as of July 3, 2005, a 10% devaluation of the U.S. dollar as compared to the level of foreign exchange rates for currencies under contract as of July 3, 2005, would result in a reduced fair value of these derivative financial instruments of approximately $11.2 million, of which $4.6 million may reduce the Company’s future earnings. Conversely, a 10% appreciation of the U.S. dollar would result in an increase in the fair value of these instruments of approximately $11.7 million, of which $6.3 million may increase the Company’s future earnings. Consistent with the nature of the economic hedges provided by these foreign exchange contracts, increases or decreases in the fair value would be mostly offset by corresponding decreases or increases in the dollar value of the Company’s foreign investment, future foreign currency royalty fee payments and product purchases that would occur within the hedging period.
There has been no material change in the equity security price risk or interest rate risk discussed in Item 7A of the Company’s Fiscal 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the chief executive officer and the 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective, as of the end of the period covered by this Report (July 3, 2005), in ensuring that material information relating to Starbucks Corporation, including its consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended July 3, 2005, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Management Report on Internal Controls
At the end of fiscal 2005, Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act will require the Company’s management to provide an assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, and the Company’s independent registered public accountant will be required to audit management’s assessment. The Company is in the process of performing the system and process documentation, evaluation and testing required for management to make this assessment and for its independent registered public accountant to provide its attestation report. The Company has not completed this process or its assessment, and this process will require significant amounts of management time and resources. In the course of evaluation and testing, management may identify deficiencies that will need to be addressed and remediated.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On June 3, 2004, two current employees of the Company filed a lawsuit, entitled Sean Pendlebury and Laurel Overton v. Starbucks Coffee Company, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida claiming the Company violated requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The suit alleges that the Company misclassified its retail store managers as exempt from the overtime provisions of the FLSA and that the managers are therefore entitled to overtime compensation for any week in which they worked more than 40 hours during the past three years. Plaintiffs seek to represent themselves and all similarly situated U.S. current and former store managers of the Company. Plaintiffs seek reimbursement for an unspecified amount of unpaid overtime compensation, liquidated damages, attorney’s fees and costs. Plaintiffs also filed on June 3, 2004 a motion for conditional collective action treatment and court-supervised notice to additional putative class members under the opt-in procedures in section 16(b) of the FLSA. On January 3, 2005, the district court entered an order authorizing nationwide notice of the lawsuit to all current and former store managers employed by the Company during the past three years. The Company filed a motion for summary judgment as to the claims of the named plaintiffs on September 24, 2004. The court denied that motion because this case is in the early stages of discovery, but the court noted that the Company may resubmit this motion at a later date. Starbucks believes that the plaintiffs are properly classified as exempt under the federal wage laws and that a loss in this case is unlikely. Due to the early status of this case, the Company cannot estimate the possible loss to the Company, if any. Trial currently is set for early 2006, and the Company intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit.
In addition to the lawsuit described above, the Company is party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business, but it is not currently a party to any legal proceeding that management believes would have a material adverse effect on the balance sheet or statement of earnings of the Company.

               (iii) during any 36-consecutive month period, the individuals who, at the beginning of such period, constitute the Board (“Incumbent Directors”) cease for any reason other than death to constitute at least a majority of the members of the Board; provided however that except as set forth in this Section 2(g)(iii), an individual who becomes a member of the Board subsequent to the beginning of the 36-month period, shall be deemed to have satisfied such 36-month requirement and shall be deemed an Incumbent Director if such Director was elected by or on the recommendation of or with the approval of at least two-thirds of the Directors who then qualified as Incumbent Directors either actually (because they were Directors at the beginning of such period) or by operation of the provisions of this section; if any such individual initially assumes office as a result of or in connection with either an actual or threatened solicitation with respect to the election of Directors (as such terms are used in Rule 14a-12(c) of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act) or other actual or threatened solicitations of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board, then such individual shall not be considered an Incumbent Director; or
               (iv) a merger, consolidation or reorganization of the Company, as a result of which the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or reorganization own directly or indirectly immediately following such merger, consolidation or reorganization less than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the entity resulting from such merger, consolidation or reorganization.

          (b) Authority; Powers. Subject to the express terms and conditions set forth herein and the Plan, the Committee shall have the discretion from time to time:
               (i) to grant Options, Restricted Stock, or Restricted Stock Units to Partners and to determine the terms and conditions of such Awards, including the determination of the Fair Market Value of the Shares and the exercise price, and to modify or amend each Award, with the consent of the Partner when required;

5


 

Provided that, no consent of a Partner is necessary under clauses (i) or (vi) if a modification, amendment, acceleration, or deferral, in the reasonable judgment of the Committee, confers a benefit on the Partner or is made pursuant to an adjustment in accordance with Section 6.
          (c) Effect of Committee’s Decision. All decisions, determinations, and interpretations of the Committee shall be final and binding on all Partners, the Company (including the Subsidiaries), any shareholder and all other Persons.

     4. Maximum Annual Option Grant. The Shares issued under this Sub-Plan are Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan. The maximum number of Options an Eligible Partner may receive in any fiscal year of the Company may not exceed that number of Options to purchase Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value on the date of grant equal to fourteen percent (14%) of such Eligible Partner’s Base Wages for the previous fiscal year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may increase the maximum value of shares subject to Awards set forth in the prior sentence from time to time. Upon a change in capitalization, the number of Shares referred to in the first sentence of this Section 4 shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 6.
     5. Procedure for Exercise of Awards; Rights as a Shareholder.
          (a) Procedure. An Award shall be exercised when written, electronic or verbal notice of exercise has been given to the Company, or the brokerage firm or firms approved by the Company to facilitate exercises and sales under this Sub-Plan, in accordance with the terms of the Award by the Person entitled to exercise the Award and full payment for the Shares with respect to which the Award is exercised has been received by the Company or the brokerage firm or firms, as applicable. The notification to the brokerage firm shall be made in accordance with procedures of such brokerage firm approved by the Company. Full payment may, as authorized by the Committee, consist of any consideration and method of payment allowable under Section 5(b) of this Sub-Plan. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such share certificate promptly upon exercise of the Award. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the share certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 6 of this Sub-Plan.
          (b) Method of Payment. The permissible methods of payment of consideration for any Shares to be issued upon exercise or other required settlement of an Award shall be: (i) with respect to an Option, a request that the Company or the designated brokerage firm conduct a cashless exercise of the Option; and (ii) cash. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, payment of the aggregate exercise price of Options by means of tendering previously owned shares of Common Stock shall not be permitted.
          (c) Withholding Obligations. To the extent required by applicable federal, state, local or foreign law, the Committee may and/or a Partner shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise with respect to any Option, Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, or any sale of Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue Shares or to recognize the disposition of such Shares until such obligations are satisfied. These obligations may be satisfied by having the Company withhold a portion of the Shares that otherwise would be issued to a Partner under such Award, such withholding to be done at the minimum tax rate required by applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, the satisfaction of these obligations by tendering previously owned shares of Common Stock shall not be permitted.
          (d) Shareholder Rights. Except as otherwise provided in this Sub-Plan, until the issuance (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) of the share certificate evidencing such Shares, no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to the Shares subject to the Award, notwithstanding the exercise of the Award.

6


 

          (e) Non-Transferability of Awards. An Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in exchange for consideration, except that an Award may be transferred (i) by will, or by the laws of descent or distribution applicable to, a deceased Partner, and/or (ii) pursuant to a domestic relations order.
     6. Adjustments to Shares Subject to this Sub-Plan. If any change is made to the Shares by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Shares as a class without the Company’s receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments shall be made to the number of Shares which are subject to outstanding Awards under this Sub-Plan. The Committee may also make adjustments described in the previous sentence in the event of any distribution of assets to shareholders other than a normal cash dividend. In determining adjustments to be made under this Section 6, the Committee may take into account such factors as it deems appropriate, including the restrictions of applicable law and the potential tax consequences of an adjustment, and in light of such factors may make adjustments that are not uniform or proportionate among outstanding Awards. Adjustments, if any, and any determinations or interpretations, including any determination of whether a distribution is other than a normal cash dividend, made by the Committee shall be final, binding and conclusive. For purposes of this Section 6, conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.”
     7. Expiration of Awards.
          (a) Expiration, Termination or Forfeiture of Awards. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement or any severance agreement, vested Awards granted under this Sub-Plan shall expire, terminate, or otherwise be forfeited as follows:
               (i) ninety (90) days after the date of termination of a Partner’s Active Status, other than in circumstances covered by (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) below;
               (ii) immediately upon termination of a Partner’s Active Status for Misconduct;
               (iii) twelve (12) months after the date on which a Partner ceased performing services as a result of his or her total and permanent Disability;
               (iv) twelve (12) months after the date of the death of a Partner whose Active Status terminated as a result of his or her death; and
               (v) thirty-six (36) months after the date on which the Partner ceased performing services as a result of Retirement.
          (b) Extension of Term. Notwithstanding subsection (a) above, the Committee shall have the authority to extend the expiration date of any outstanding Option in circumstances in which it deems such action to be appropriate (provided that no such extension shall extend the term of an Option beyond the date on which the Option would have expired if no termination of the Partner’s Active Status had occurred).
     8. Effect of Change of Control. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Sub-Plan or the Plan to the contrary, the following provisions shall apply unless otherwise provided in the most recently executed agreement between the Partner and the Company, or specifically prohibited under applicable laws, or by the rules and regulations of any applicable governmental agencies or national securities exchanges or quotation systems.
          (a) Acceleration. Awards of a Partner shall be Accelerated (as defined in Section 8(b) below) as follows:
               (i) With respect to any Partner, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control described in Section 2(g)(i);
               (ii) With respect to any Partner who Resigns for Good Reason or whose Active Status is terminated within one year after a Change of Control described in Section 2(g)(ii), (iii) or (iv); and

7


 

               (iii) With respect to any Partner, notwithstanding Section 8(a)(ii) above, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control described in Section 2(g)(iv), but only if in connection with such Change of Control each Award is not assumed or an equivalent award substituted by such successor entity or a parent or subsidiary of such successor entity.
          (b) Definition. For purposes of this Section 8, Awards of a Partner being “Accelerated” means, with respect to such Partner:
               (i) any and all Options shall become fully vested and immediately exercisable, and shall remain exercisable throughout their entire term;
               (ii) any restriction periods and restrictions imposed on Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units that are not performance-based shall lapse; and
               (iii) the restrictions and deferral limitations and other conditions applicable to any other Awards shall lapse, and such other Awards shall become free of all restrictions, limitations or conditions and become fully vested and transferable to the full extent of the original grant.
     9. Grant, Terms and Conditions of Options.
          (a) Designation. Each Option shall be designated in an Award Agreement as a Nonqualified Stock Option.
          (b) Terms of Options. The terms of all Options shall be at the discretion of the Committee.
          (c) Option Exercise Prices.
               (i) The per Share exercise price under an Option shall be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant.
               (ii) In no event shall the Board or the Committee be permitted to Reprice an Option after the date of grant without shareholder approval.
          (d) Vesting. Subject to Section 8 and unless otherwise approved by the Committee, each Option granted under this Sub-Plan shall vest and/or become exercisable in annual twenty-five percent (25%) installments commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant. To the extent not exercised, installments shall accumulate and be exercisable, in whole or in part, at any time after becoming exercisable, but not later than the date the Options expire. To the extent Options vest and become exercisable in increments, such Options shall cease vesting as of the date of the Optionee’s Disability or termination of such Optionee’s Active Status for reasons other than Retirement or death. In case of such Optionee’s Retirement or death, such Options shall become fully vested and immediately exercisable.
          (e) Exercise. Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Committee at the time of grant, and as are permissible under the terms of this Sub-Plan. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.
     10. Grant, Terms and Conditions of Stock Awards.
          (a) Designation. Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units may be granted either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other Awards granted under this Sub-Plan. Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units may include a dividend equivalent right, as permitted by Section 6. After the Committee determines that it will offer Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, it will advise the Partner in writing or electronically, by means of an Award Agreement, of the terms, conditions and restrictions, including vesting, if any, related to the offer, including the number of Shares that the Partner shall be entitled to receive or purchase, the price to be paid, if any, and, if

8


 

applicable, the time within which the Partner must accept the offer. The offer shall be accepted by execution of an Award Agreement or as otherwise directed by the Committee. Restricted Stock Units may be paid as permitted by Section 5(b). The term of each award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall be at the discretion of the Committee.
          (b) Performance Criteria. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to this Sub-Plan that are intended to qualify as “performance based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code shall be subject to the attainment of performance goals relating to the Performance Criteria selected by the Committee and specified at the time such Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units are granted.
          (c) Vesting. Subject to Section 8 and unless otherwise approved by the Committee, Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units granted under this Sub-Plan shall vest in annual twenty-five percent (25%) installments commencing on the first anniversary of the date of grant. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, the Award Agreement shall provide for the forfeiture of the non-vested Shares underlying Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units upon the termination of a Partner’s Active Status. To the extent that the Partner purchased the Shares granted under such Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units and any such Shares remain non-vested at the time the Partner’s Active Status terminates, the termination of Active Status shall cause an immediate sale of such non-vested Shares to the Company at the original price per Share paid by the Partner.
     11. Termination and Amendment of this Sub-Plan. This Sub-Plan shall terminate on the date of termination of the Plan and no Award may be granted pursuant to this Sub-Plan thereafter. The Committee may at any time and from time to time amend, modify or suspend this Sub-Plan and all administrative rules, regulations and practices; provided, however, that no such amendment, modification, suspension or termination shall impair or adversely alter any Awards theretofore granted under this Sub-Plan, except with the consent of the Partner, nor shall any amendment, modification, suspension or termination deprive any Partner of any Shares that he or she may have acquired through or as a result of this Sub-Plan.
     12. Non-Exclusivity of this Sub-Plan. The adoption of this Sub-Plan by the Committee shall not be construed as amending, modifying or rescinding the Plan but is intended to serve as a framework for the Committee with respect to grants of Awards to Eligible Partners.
     13. Partners in Foreign Countries. Without amending this Sub-Plan, the Committee may grant Awards to Partners who are foreign nationals on such terms and conditions different from those specified in this Sub-Plan to achieve the purposes of this Sub-Plan. In furtherance of such purposes, the Committee may make such modifications to this Sub-Plan as may be necessary or advisable to comply with the provisions of the laws in other countries in which the Company or any Subsidiary operates or has employees.
     14. Multiple Award Grants. The terms of each Award grant may differ from other Awards granted under this Sub-Plan at another time. The Committee may also make more than one grant of Awards to a given Eligible Partner during the term of this Sub-Plan.
