Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates Financial Statement Preparation The unaudited consolidated financial statements as of April 3, 2022, and for the quarter and two quarters ended April 3, 2022 and March 28, 2021, have been prepared by Starbucks Corporation under the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, the financial information for the quarter and two quarters ended April 3, 2022 and March 28, 2021 reflects all adjustments and accruals, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“10-Q”), Starbucks Corporation is referred to as “Starbucks,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our.” Segment information is prepared on the same basis that our management reviews financial information for operational decision-making purposes. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, certain changes were made to our management team, and our operating segment reporting structure was realigned as a result. We realigned our fully licensed Latin America and Caribbean markets from our Americas operating segment to our International operating segment. We renamed the Americas operating segment to the North America operating segment, since it is comprised of our company-operated and licensed stores in the U.S. and Canada. We also made certain other immaterial changes between our International operating segment and Corporate and Other. Certain prior period information for our North America and International operating segments and our Corporate and Other reportable segment has been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. There was no impact on consolidated net revenues, total operating expenses, operating income or net earnings per share as a result of these changes. Certain prior period information on the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of cash flows have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. The financial information as of October 3, 2021 is derived from our audited consolidated financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended October 3, 2021 (“fiscal 2021”) included in Item 8 in the Fiscal 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“10-K”). The information included in this 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the footnotes and management’s discussion and analysis of the consolidated financial statements in the 10-K. The results of operations for the quarter and two quarters ended April 3, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that may be achieved for the entire fiscal year ending October 2, 2022 (“fiscal 2022”). Our fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to September 30. Our fiscal 2022 year includes 52 weeks while our fiscal 2021 year included 53 weeks, with the 53rd week falling in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. The novel coronavirus, known as the global COVID-19 pandemic, was first identified in December 2019 before spreading to markets where we have company-operated or licensed stores. We have since established the necessary protocols to operate safely, and our businesses demonstrated powerful momentum beyond recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Certain markets, primarily China, continue to experience pandemic-related restrictions impacting sales as they battle COVID-19 resurgences and navigate through prolonged lockdowns. We continue to monitor the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on our business and results of operations; however, we cannot predict the duration, scope or severity of the COVID-19 pandemic or its future impact on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Government Subsidies In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, certain governments have provided subsidies and assistance to companies. The most substantial of these were the U.S. Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) and the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy ("CEWS"), which were no longer applicable in late fiscal 2021. However, during the quarter and two quarters ended April 3, 2022, an international government COVID-19 related subsidy reduced our store operating expenses by $12.4 million and $23.9 million, respectively, on our consolidated statements of earnings. During the quarter and two quarters ended March 28, 2021, qualified payroll and other credits reduced our store operating expenses by $97.4 million and $117.2 million, respectively, on our consolidated statements of earnings. After netting the qualified credits against our payable, a receivable of $97.1 million and $172.4 million was included in prepaid expenses and other current assets as of April 3, 2022 and October 3, 2021, respectively. As of April 3, 2022, deferred payroll tax payments of $116.4 million were included in accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. As of October 3, 2021, deferred payroll tax payments of $116.4 million were included in both accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Restructuring In fiscal 2021, we substantially completed our plan to reposition our North America store portfolio, primarily in dense metropolitan markets by pursuing strategic store closures and focusing on new store formats that better cater to changing customer tastes and preferences. As a result, we recorded approximately $23.0 million and $95.2 million to restructuring and impairments on our consolidated statements of earnings during the quarter ended and two quarters ended March 28, 2021. Of these totals, $8.6 million and $51.2 million related to the impairment of store assets for which either a triggering event occurred and the assets were determined not to be recoverable or the store was permanently closed, respectively. During the quarter and two quarters ended March 28, 2021, an additional $14.4 million and $44.0 million, respectively, was associated with accelerated amortization of right-of-use (“ROU”) lease assets and other lease costs due to planned store closures prior to the end of contractual lease terms. As the restructuring plan was substantially completed in fiscal 2021, we did not recognize any material restructuring and impairment amounts during the quarter and two quarters ended April 3, 2022. As of April 3, 2022 and October 3, 2021, there were no material restructuring-related accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, we adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance related to reference rate reform. The pronouncement provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the current guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burden related to the expected market transition from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance was effective upon issuance and generally can be applied to applicable contract modifications through December 31, 2022. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact to our financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued guidance replacing the incurred loss impairment methodology with a new methodology that reflects current expected credit losses on financial assets, including receivables and available-for-sale securities. The new methodology requires entities to estimate and recognize expected credit losses each reporting period. The guidance was adopted during the first quarter of fiscal 2021 under the modified retrospective approach and resulted in a $2.2 million transition adjustment to opening shareholders' retained deficit on our consolidated statements of equity.
