EX-99.1 - EXHIBIT 99.1 - STARBUCKS CORPsbux-111213xex991.htm


Exhibit 99.2
Non-GAAP Disclosure
In addition to the GAAP results being furnished in Item 2.02 to the Current Report on Form 8-K ("Form 8-K") to which this Exhibit 99.2 is attached, the company provides non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP earnings per share ("non-GAAP EPS") for Q4 fiscal 2013 and full year fiscal 2013.  These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.  The GAAP measure most directly comparable to non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net earnings and non-GAAP earnings per share are operating loss, operating margin, net earnings/(loss) attributable to Starbucks and diluted net earnings/(loss) per share, respectively.
The Q4 fiscal 2013 and full year fiscal 2013 non-GAAP financial measures being furnished exclude the non-routine charge resulting from the Award the arbitrator has ordered the company to pay to Kraft, as discussed in the Form 8-K. The company’s management believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures better enables investors to understand and evaluate the company’s historical and prospective operating performance.  More specifically, for historical non-GAAP financial measures, management excludes the non-routine charge in Q4 fiscal 2013 and full year fiscal 2013 because it believes that the impact of the non-routine charge does not reflect expected future expenses and does not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of the company’s future operating performance or comparisons to the company’s past operating performance.
These non-GAAP financial measures may have limitations as analytical tools, and these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the company’s results as reported under GAAP.  Other companies may calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently than the company does, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.
