Introduction and OverviewStarbucks is the premier coffee roaster and retailer of specialty coffee with operations in 83 markets around the world. As ofJune 28, 2020 ,Starbucks had over 32,000 company-operated and licensed stores, an increase of 5% from the prior year. Additionally, we sell a variety of consumer-packaged goods, or CPG, primarily through theGlobal Coffee Alliance established with Nestlé and other partnerships and joint ventures. Our financial results and long-term growth model will continue to be driven by new store openings, comparable store sales and margin management. Comparable store sales represent company-operated stores open for 13 months or longer, and exclude the impact of foreign currency translation. Stores that are temporarily closed or operating at reduced hours due to the COVID-19 outbreak remain in comparable store sales while stores identified for permanent closure have been removed. During the quarter endedJune 28, 2020 , our global comparable store sales declined 40%, including the negative impacts of COVID-19. We have three reportable operating segments:Americas , International and Channel Development. Non-reportable operating segments and unallocated corporate expenses are reported within Corporate and Other. 32 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Our fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest toSeptember 30 . All references to store counts, including data for new store openings, are reported net of store closures, unless otherwise noted. COVID-19 Update The novel coronavirus, known as the global pandemic COVID-19, was first identified inDecember 2019 . In response to the outbreak, we temporarily closed a significant number of our company-operated stores and modified the operation and business hours for stores that remained open in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. By prioritizing the health and safety of our partners and customers, we gradually re-opened stores inChina in late second fiscal quarter and in other markets during the third fiscal quarter under modified operations to meet public health guidelines and evolving customer behaviors and expectations. Comparable store sales for theAmericas segment declined by 41% during the third quarter of fiscal 2020, due to temporary store closures, reduced customer traffic and limitations of modified operations. Most stores were re-opened beginning in early May for this segment, with approximately 96% of the company-operated stores and over 80% of licensed stores open as ofJune 28, 2020 . We achieved notable improvements in comparable store sales as the quarter progressed. To help protect our partners' health and welfare, we paid all of ourU.S. andCanada company-operated store partners who were either unable or uncomfortable working in a retail environment through early May. Partners who were able to work during this period received a temporary wage increase as a recognition of their service. The incremental salaries and wages incurred were partially offset by qualified tax credits provided by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act") and theCanada Emergency Wage Subsidy ("CEWS"). As we began re-opening stores, we realigned labor schedules and hours due to reduced customer traffic and demand, which required a portion of our retail store partners to be furloughed or separated from the Company and resulted in additional benefit payments to impacted partners. Due to the extended store closures and changing customer behaviors, the Company accelerated plans to optimize our store portfolio inU.S. urban markets and restructure our company-operated business inCanada , announcing the expected closure of up to 400 incremental stores in theU.S. over the next 18 months and up to 200 incremental stores inCanada over the next two years. Costs incurred related to the restructuring efforts are recorded as restructuring and impairments on our consolidated statement of earnings, which will continue in future quarters in accordance with the anticipated timeline of store closures. Our licensed business in theAmericas segment was also impacted by the outbreak during the fiscal quarter with many stores closed temporarily during the quarter, although most licensed stores have since been re-opened. For the International segment, comparable store sales declined 37% during the third quarter of fiscal 2020, reflecting the temporary closures and modifications of operations at our company-operated international markets. Due to the early onset of the virus and subsequent control of the outbreak inChina , we began re-opening stores during the latter part of fiscal second quarter while our company-operated markets inJapan and EMEA began re-opening stores during the middle of fiscal third quarter. As ofJune 28, 2020 , nearly all company-operated stores were open in these markets. Most of our International licensed stores have also re-opened. To support our international licensees, we extended more flexible development and financial terms, including waiving royalty payments during the fiscal third quarter.The Channel Development segment was not materially impacted by COVID-19 during the fiscal third quarter as a result of at-home coffee offerings offsetting softness in the Foodservice channel. The revenue decline when compared with the same quarter in the prior year was largely due to lappingGlobal Coffee Alliance transition-related activities, including higher inventory sales in the prior year as Nestlé prepared to fulfill customer orders. Based on the current trend of our retail business recovery and our focused efforts to expand contactless customer experiences, digital capabilities and beverage innovation, we expect continued improvement in comparable store sales and operating margin in our fiscal fourth quarter. Absent significant COVID-19 relapses, we expect to return to profitability in the fourth quarter.

The decline in company-operated stores revenues was due to a 40% decrease in comparable store sales ($2,122 million ), primarily driven by a 51% decrease in transactions. Also contributing to the decrease was the conversion of our retail business inThailand to a fully licensed market during fiscal 2019 ($37 million ). Partially offsetting these decreases were the incremental revenues from 770 net new Starbucks® company-operated store openings, or a 5% increase, over the past 12 months ($128 million ). Licensed stores revenue decreased$425 million driven by lower product and equipment sales to and royalty revenues from our licensees ($420 million ). Other revenues decreased$86 million , primarily due to lapping of higher product sales to Nestlé in prior year related to transitioning activities of theGlobal Coffee Alliance . Three quarters endedJune 28, 2020 compared with three quarters endedJune 30, 2019 Total net revenues for the first three quarters of fiscal 2020 decreased$2,447 million , primarily due to decreased revenues from company-operated stores ($2,073 million ). The decline in company-operated store revenues was due to a 15% decrease in comparable store sales ($2,350 million ), primarily driven by a 21% decrease in transactions. Also contributing to the decrease were the conversions of our retail businesses inThailand ,France andthe Netherlands to fully licensed markets during fiscal 2019 ($204 million ). Partially offsetting these decreases were the incremental revenues from 770 net new Starbucks® company-operated store openings, or a 5% increase, over the past 12 months ($526 million ). Licensed stores revenue decline also contributed to the decrease in total net revenues ($358 million ), driven by lower product and royalty revenues from our licensees ($351 million ). The decrease was partially offset by the conversions of our retail businesses inThailand ,France andthe Netherlands to fully licensed markets ($25 million ). Other revenues decreased$16 million , primarily due to lapping prior year product sales related to transitioning activities of theGlobal Coffee Alliance and the Tazo brand transition agreement, partially offset by the expansion of theGlobal Coffee Alliance , including the benefit related to the transfer of certain single-serve product activities to Nestlé beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2020. 34 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Operating Expenses Quarter Ended Three Quarters EndedJun 28 ,Jun 30 , $Jun 28 ,Jun 30 ,Jun 28 ,Jun 30 , $Jun 28 ,Jun 30, 2020 2019 Change 2020 2019 2020 2019 Change 2020 2019 As a % of Total As a % of Total Net Revenues Net Revenues Product and distribution costs$ 1,484.0 $ 2,199.6 $ (715.6) 35.1 % 32.2 %$ 5,718.2 $ 6,387.4 $ (669.2) 33.0 % 32.3 % Store operating expenses 2,537.8 2,643.2 (105.4) 60.1 38.7 8,080.7 7,784.2 296.5 46.7 39.4 Other operating expenses 133.6 94.4 39.2 3.2 1.4 330.3 279.4 50.9 1.9 1.4 Depreciation and amortization expenses 361.0 343.1 17.9 8.6 5.0 1,068.3 1,032.5 35.8 6.2 5.2 General and administrative expenses 399.9 459.7 (59.8) 9.5 6.7 1,240.6 1,365.7 (125.1) 7.2 6.9 Restructuring and impairments 78.1 37.7 40.4 1.8 0.6 83.7 123.9 (40.2) 0.5 0.6 Total operating expenses 4,994.4 5,777.7 (783.3) 118.3 84.7 16,521.8 16,973.1 (451.3) 95.4 85.9 Income from equity investees 68.4 76.0 (7.6) 1.6 1.1 210.3 206.1 4.2 1.2

Interest income and other, net decreased$28 million , primarily due to lapping the gain on the sale of a non-operating asset and lapping interest income earned last year on excess cash related to our Nestlé transaction. Interest expense increased$34 million , primarily due to additional interest incurred on long-term debt issued inMarch 2020 andMay 2020 . The effective tax rate for the quarter endedJune 28, 2020 was 16.5% compared to 18.1% for the same quarter in fiscal 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a change in the absolute pre-tax operating results when compared to the same period of the prior year and thereby changing the proportionate impact of discrete items, as well as the foreign rate differential on our jurisdictional mix of earnings. This was partially offset by valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets of certain international jurisdictions. Three quarters endedJune 28, 2020 compared with three quarters endedJune 30, 2019 Net gain resulting from divestiture of certain operations decreased$623 million due to lapping the sale of retail operations inThailand ,France , andthe Netherlands in fiscal 2019. Interest income and other, net decreased$50 million , primarily due to lapping interest income earned last year on excess cash related to our Nestlé transaction and lapping the gain on the sale of a non-operating asset. Interest expense increased$77 million , primarily due to additional interest incurred on long-term debt issued inMarch 2020 andMay 2020 . 37 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents The effective tax rate for the first three quarters endedJune 28, 2020 was 26.3% compared to 19.4% for the same period in fiscal 2019. The increase was primarily due to the valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets of certain international jurisdictions (approximately 1,390 basis points). This unfavorable impact was partially offset by the impact of changes in indefinite reinvestment assertions for certain foreign subsidiaries in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 (approximately 220 basis points), release of income tax reserves (approximately 210 basis points) and lower pre-tax earnings including the foreign rate differential on our jurisdictional mix of earnings.

Operating margin decreased 3,620 basis points to (14.4)%, due to sales deleverage, primarily attributable to reduced labor productivity and fixed occupancy costs, as well as additional costs incurred attributable to COVID-19, mainly catastrophe pay and enhanced pay programs for retail store partners, net of benefits provided by the CARES Act and CEWS (approximately 530 basis points). Higher restructuring expenses relating to ourU.S. portfolio optimization (approximately 170 basis points) also contributed to the decrease. Three quarters endedJune 28, 2020 compared with three quarters endedJune 30, 2019 RevenuesAmericas total net revenues for the first three quarters of fiscal 2020 decreased$1,461 million , or 11%, primarily due to a 13% decrease in comparable store sales ($1,541 million ), driven by a 20% decrease in transactions. Also contributing were lower product sales to and royalty revenues from our licensees ($218 million ). These decreases were partially offset by 159 net new Starbucks® company-operated store openings, or a 2% increase, over the past 12 months ($335 million ). Operating MarginAmericas operating income for the first three quarters of fiscal 2020 decreased 54% to$1.3 billion , compared to$2.8 billion for the same period in fiscal 2019. Operating margin decreased 1,010 basis points to 10.8%, primarily due to sales deleverage attributed to reduced labor productivity and additional costs incurred attributable to COVID-19, mainly catastrophe pay and enhanced pay programs for retail store partners, net of benefits provided by the CARES Act and CEWS (approximately 210 basis points).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Quarter endedJune 28, 2020 compared with quarter endedJune 30, 2019 Revenues International total net revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 decreased$636 million , or 40%, primarily due to a 37% decrease in comparable company-operated store sales ($461 million ), driven by a 44% decrease in transactions. Also contributing were lower product sales to and royalty revenues from our licensees ($158 million ) and the conversion of our retail business inThailand to a fully licensed market during 2019 ($37 million ). These decreases were partially offset by 611 net new Starbucks® company-operated store openings, or an 11% increase, over the past 12 months ($53 million ). Operating Margin International operating loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 was$86 million , compared to$270 million of operating income in the third quarter of fiscal 2019. Operating margin decreased 2,610 basis points to (9.1)%, primarily due to sales deleverage attributable to COVID-19, including continued partner wages and benefits and occupancy costs. Royalty relief provided to licensees (approximately 480 basis points) and catastrophe pay (approximately 170 basis points) also contributed to the decrease. These were partially offset by temporary government subsidies (approximately 220 basis points) and rent concessions (approximately 140 basis points). Three quarters endedJune 28, 2020 compared with three quarters endedJune 30, 2019 Revenues International total net revenues for the first three quarters of fiscal 2020 decreased$963 million , or 21%, due to a 23% decrease in comparable company-operated store sales ($809 million ), driven by a 26% decrease in transactions. Also contributing were the conversions of our retail businesses inThailand ,France andthe Netherlands to fully licensed markets during 2019 ($179 million ) and lower product sales to and royalty revenues from licensees ($133 million ). These decreases were partially offset by 611 net new Starbucks® company-operated store openings, or an 11% increase, over the past 12 months ($191 million ). Operating Margin International operating income for the first three quarters of fiscal 2020 decreased 75% to$175 million , compared to$702 million for the same period in fiscal 2019. Operating margin decreased 1,040 basis points to 4.8%, primarily due to sales deleverage attributable to COVID-19, including continued partner wages and benefits and occupancy costs. Royalty relief granted to licensees during the fiscal third quarter also contributed to the decrease (approximately 120 basis points). 40 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Channel Development Quarter Ended Three Quarters EndedJun 28 ,Jun 30 , $Jun 28 ,Jun 30 ,Jun 28 ,Jun 30 , $Jun 28 ,Jun 30, 2020 2019 Change 2020 2019 2020 2019 Change 2020 2019 As a % of Channel As a % of Channel Development Development Total Net Revenues Total Net Revenues Net revenues$ 447.3 $ 533.3 $ (86.0) $ 1,461.0 $ 1,484.5 $ (23.5) Product and distribution costs 319.9 377.1 (57.2) 71.5 % 70.7 % 1,010.3 1,030.9 (20.6) 69.2 % 69.4 % Other operating expenses 51.4 20.2 31.2 11.5 3.8 89.7 55.9 33.8 6.1 3.8 Depreciation and amortization expenses 0.3 0.2 0.1 0.1 - 0.9 12.6 (11.7) 0.1 0.8 General and administrative expenses 2.5 2.7 (0.2) 0.6 0.5 8.0 8.9 (0.9) 0.5 0.6 Total operating expenses 374.1 400.2 (26.1) 83.6 75.0 1,108.9 1,108.3 0.6 75.9 74.7 Income from equity investees 51.0 48.8 2.2 11.4 9.2 137.2 130.4 6.8 9.4 8.8 Operating income$ 124.2 $ 181.9 $ (57.7) 27.8 % 34.1 %$ 489.3 $ 506.6 $ (17.3) 33.5 % 34.1 % Quarter endedJune 28, 2020 compared with quarter endedJune 30, 2019 Revenues Channel Development total net revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 decreased$86 million , or 16%, primarily due to lapping of higher product sales to Nestlé in prior year related to transitioning activities of theGlobal Coffee Alliance ($85 million ). Operating Margin Channel Development operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2020 decreased 32% to$124 million , compared to$182 million for the same period in fiscal 2019. Operating margin decreased 630 basis points to 27.8%, primarily driven by certain transition items related to theGlobal Coffee Alliance (approximately 750 basis points), partially offset by lapping the transfer of certain products to Nestlé as part of theGlobal Coffee Alliance in the prior year. Three quarters endedJune 28, 2020 compared with the three quarters endedJune 30, 2019 Revenues Channel Development total net revenues for the first three quarters of fiscal 2020 decreased$24 million , or 2%, primarily due to the lapping of higher product sales in prior year related to transitioning order fulfillment of theGlobal Coffee Alliance ($40 million ). Also contributing was lapping prior year product sales to Unilever as a result of the sale and transition of the Tazo brand ($33 million ). These decreases were partially offset by the expansion of theGlobal Coffee Alliance , including the benefit related to the transfer of certain single-serve product activities to Nestlé beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 ($50 million ). Operating Margin Channel Development operating income for the first three quarters of fiscal 2020 decreased 3% to$489 million , compared to$507 million for the same period in fiscal 2019. Operating margin decreased 60 basis points to 33.5%, primarily driven by certain transition items related to theGlobal Coffee Alliance (approximately 250 basis points), partially offset by lapping the correction of amortization expense (approximately 80 basis points) in the prior year and the transfer of certain single-serve products to Nestlé as part of theGlobal Coffee Alliance . 41 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Corporate and Other Quarter Ended Three Quarters Ended Jun 28, Jun 30, $ % Jun 28, Jun 30, $ % 2020 2019 Change Change 2020 2019 Change Change Net revenues: Other$ 19.7 $ 23.3 $ (3.6) (15.5) %$ 52.3 $ 50.9 $ 1.4 2.8 % Total net revenues 19.7 23.3 (3.6) (15.5) 52.3 50.9 1.4 2.8 Product and distribution costs 20.8 22.4 (1.6) (7.1) 51.8 51.8 - - Other operating expenses 4.0 5.8 (1.8) (31.0) 10.4 13.4 (3.0) (22.4) Depreciation and amortization expenses 40.9 39.6 1.3 3.3 110.3 119.4 (9.1) (7.6) General and administrative expenses 269.1 299.0 (29.9) (10.0) 832.9 903.4 (70.5) (7.8) Restructuring and impairments 22.1 6.0 16.1 268.3 22.4 20.5 1.9 9.3 Total operating expenses 356.9 372.8 (15.9) (4.3) 1,027.8 1,108.5 (80.7) (7.3) Operating loss$ (337.2) $ (349.5) $ 12.3 (3.5) %$ (975.5) $ (1,057.6) $ 82.1 (7.8) % Corporate and Other primarily consists of our unallocated corporate expenses, as well as Evolution Fresh. Unallocated corporate expenses include corporate administrative functions that support the operating segments but are not specifically attributable to or managed by any segment and are not included in the reported financial results of the operating segments. The decreases for the quarter and three quarters endingJune 28, 2020 were primarily driven by lower performance-based compensation and lapping of the 2018 stock award granted in the third quarter of fiscal 2018, partially offset by incremental strategic investments in technology. 42 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Quarterly Store Data Our store data for the periods presented is as follows: Net

We actively manage our cash and investments in order to internally fund operating needs, make scheduled interest and principal payments on our borrowings, make acquisitions and return cash to shareholders through common stock cash dividend payments and share repurchases. Our investment portfolio primarily includes highly liquid available-for-sale securities, including corporate debt securities, government treasury securities (foreign and domestic) and commercial paper. As ofJune 28, 2020 , approximately$1.7 billion of cash was held in foreign subsidiaries. Borrowing Capacity The 2018 credit facility Our$2.0 billion unsecured 5-year revolving credit facility ("the 2018 credit facility"), of which$150 million may be used for issuances of letters of credit, is currently set to mature onOctober 25, 2022 . We have the option, subject to negotiation and agreement with the related banks, to increase the maximum commitment amount by an additional$500 million . Borrowings under the credit facility are subject to terms defined within the 2018 credit facility and will bear interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR, and, forU.S. dollar-denominated loans under certain circumstances, a Base Rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is based on the better of (i) the Company's long-term credit ratings assigned by Moody's andStandard & Poor's rating agencies and (ii) the Company's fixed charge coverage ratio, pursuant to a pricing grid set forth in the five-year credit agreement. The current applicable margin is 0.910% for Eurocurrency Rate Loans and 0.000% (nil) for Base Rate Loans. The 2018 credit facility is available for general corporate purposes. As ofJune 28, 2020 , we had no borrowings under the 2018 credit facility. The 364-day credit facility Our$1.0 billion unsecured 364-day credit facility (the "364-day credit facility"), of which no amount may be used for issuances of letters of credit, is currently set to mature onOctober 21, 2020 . We have the option, subject to negotiation and agreement with the related banks, to increase the maximum commitment amount by an additional$500 million . Borrowings under the credit facility are subject to terms defined within the 364-day credit facility and will bear interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR, and, forU.S. dollar-denominated loans under certain circumstances, a Base Rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is 0.920% for Eurocurrency Rate Loans and 0.000% (nil) for Base Rate Loans. The 364-day credit facility is available for general purposes. As ofJune 28, 2020 , we had no borrowings under the 364-day credit facility. 43 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Due to the financial impacts from COVID-19, we have reached an agreement with our lenders to amend the fixed charge coverage ratio covenant for our combined$3 billion revolving lines of credit, through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. The 2020 term-loan facility Our$500 million unsecured 364-day term-loan facility ("the 2020 term-loan facility") is currently set to mature onMarch 19, 2021 . Borrowings under the term-loan facility are subject to terms defined within the 2020 term-loan facility and will bear interest depending on if the loan is a Eurocurrency Rate Loan or a Base Loan. Eurocurrency Rate Loans will bear interest on the outstanding principal amount equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the applicable margin. Each Base Rate Loan will bear interest on the outstanding principal amount equal to the Base Rate plus the applicable margin. The applicable margin is based on the Company's long-term credit ratings assigned by Moody's andStandard & Poor's rating agencies. The current applicable margin is 1.000% for Eurocurrency Rate Loans and 0.00% (nil) for Base Rate Loans. The 2020 term-loan facility is available for general corporate purposes. As ofJune 28, 2020 , we had$500.0 million borrowings outstanding under the 2020 term-loan facility and were in compliance with all applicable covenants related to our credit facilities. Under our commercial paper program, we may issue unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of$3.0 billion , with individual maturities that may vary but not exceed 397 days from the date of issue. Amounts outstanding under the commercial paper program are required to be backstopped by available commitments under the 2018 and 364-day credit facilities discussed above. The proceeds from borrowings under our commercial paper program may be used for working capital needs, capital expenditures and other corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, business expansion, payment of cash dividends on our common stock and share repurchases. As ofJune 28, 2020 , we had borrowings of$296.5 million outstanding, net of unamortized discount, under our commercial paper program, of which a majority will mature during the second quarter of fiscal 2021. As such, our total contractual borrowing capacity for general corporate purposes as of the end of our third quarter of fiscal 2020 was$2.7 billion when combining the unused commercial paper program and credit facilities, less outstanding borrowing. Credit facilities inJapan Additionally, we hold Japanese yen-denominated credit facilities for the use of ourJapan subsidiary. These are available for working capital needs and capital expenditures within our Japanese market. During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, we expanded our ¥1 billion unsecured credit facility to ¥5 billion, or$46.6 million , as ofJune 28, 2020 . This facility is currently set to mature onDecember 31, 2020 . Borrowings under the credit facility are subject to terms defined within the facility and will bear interest at a variable rate based on TIBOR plus an applicable margin of 0.300% or 0.400%, depending on the tranche borrowed. Additionally during the third quarter, we expanded our ¥2 billion unsecured credit facility to ¥10 billion, or$93.4 million , as ofJune 28, 2020 . This facility is currently set to mature onMarch 26, 2021 . Borrowings under the credit facility are subject to terms defined within the facility and will bear interest at a variable rate based on TIBOR plus 0.30%. As ofJune 28, 2020 , we had$140.0 million of borrowings outstanding under these credit facilities. OnMay 7, 2020 , we issued long-term debt in an underwritten registered public offering, which consisted of$500 million of 1.300% Senior Notes (the"2022 notes") dueMay 2022 ,$1.25 billion of 2.550% Senior Notes (the "2030 notes") dueNovember 2030 , and$1.25 billion of 3.500% Senior Notes (the "2050 notes") dueNovember 2050 . We are using the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of outstanding indebtedness. Interest on the 2022 notes is payable semi-annually onMay 7 andNovember 7 , commencing onNovember 7, 2020 . Interest on the 2030 notes and the 2050 notes is payable semi-annually onMay 15 andNovember 15 , commencing onNovember 15, 2020 . See Note 8 , Debt, to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this 10-Q for details of the components of our long-term debt. Our ability to incur new liens and conduct sale and leaseback transactions on certain material properties is subject to compliance with terms of the indentures under which the Senior Notes were issued. As ofJune 28, 2020 , we were in compliance with all applicable covenants. We returned to positive cash flow during the latter part of the third quarter of fiscal 2020 and expect a return to profitability in the fiscal fourth quarter. To further strengthen our liquidity, we expect to continue to curtail discretionary spending and suspend share repurchases. If necessary, we may pursue additional sources of financing, including both short-term and long-term borrowings and debt issuances. Use of Cash We expect to use our available cash and investments, including, but not limited to, additional potential future borrowings under the credit facilities, commercial paper program and the issuance of debt to support and invest in our core businesses, including investing in new ways to serve our customers and supporting our store partners, repaying maturing debts, as well as returning 44 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents cash to shareholders through common stock cash dividend payments and discretionary share repurchases and investing in new business opportunities related to our core and developing businesses. Further, we may use our available cash resources to make proportionate capital contributions to our investees. We may also seek strategic acquisitions to leverage existing capabilities and further build our business in support of our "Growth at Scale" agenda. Acquisitions may include increasing our ownership interests in our investees. Any decisions to increase such ownership interests will be driven by valuation and fit with our ownership strategy. We believe that net future cash flows generated from operations and existing cash and investments both domestically and internationally combined with our ability to leverage our balance sheet through the issuance of debt will be sufficient to finance capital requirements for our core businesses as well as shareholder distributions for the foreseeable future. Significant new joint ventures, acquisitions and/or other new business opportunities may require additional outside funding. We have borrowed funds and continue to believe we have the ability to do so at reasonable interest rates; however, additional borrowings would result in increased interest expense in the future. In this regard, we may incur additional debt, within targeted levels, as part of our plans to fund our capital programs, including cash returns to shareholders through future dividends and discretionary share repurchases. We regularly review our cash positions and our determination of indefinite reinvestment of foreign earnings. In the event we determine that all or a portion of such foreign earnings are no longer indefinitely reinvested, we may be subject to additional foreign withholding taxes andU.S. state income taxes, which could be material. We do not anticipate the need for repatriated funds to theU.S. to satisfy domestic liquidity needs. During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend to shareholders of$0.41 per share to be paid onAugust 21, 2020 to shareholders of record as of the close of business onAugust 7, 2020 . As of the date of this report, we do not expect to reduce our quarterly dividend as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We repurchased 20.3 million shares of common stock, or$1.7 billion , during the first three quarters of fiscal 2020 under our ongoing share repurchase program. OnApril 8, 2020 , we announced a temporary suspension of our share repurchase program. Repurchases pursuant to this program were last made in mid-March. As ofJune 28, 2020 , 48.9 million shares remained available for repurchase under current authorizations. In addition to the suspension of our share repurchase program, to further enhance our financial flexibility, we have taken and may continue to take steps to defer capital expenditures and reduce discretionary spending. The existing share repurchase program remains authorized by the Board of Directors, and we may resume share repurchases in the future at any time, depending upon market conditions, our capital needs and other factors. Other than normal operating expenses, cash requirements for the remainder of fiscal 2020 are expected to consist primarily of capital expenditures for investments in our new and existing stores and our supply chain and corporate facilities. Total capital expenditures for fiscal 2020 are expected to be approximately$1.5 billion . Cash Flows Cash provided by operating activities was$107.1 million for the first three quarters of fiscal 2020, compared to$3.9 billion for the same period in fiscal 2019. The change was primarily due to material retail store closures resulting from the COVID-19 crisis, theU.S. federal tax payment related to the Nestlé transaction and the timing of other tax payments and refunds. Cash used in investing activities for the first three quarters of fiscal 2020 totaled$1.3 billion , compared to cash used in investing activities of$506.5 million for the same period in fiscal 2019. The change was primarily driven by lapping proceeds from the divestiture of certain operations related to the conversions of our retail businesses inThailand ,France andthe Netherlands to fully licensed markets during 2019 and lower sales of investments in fiscal 2020. Cash provided by financing activities for the first three quarters of fiscal 2020 totaled$2.5 billion compared to cash used by financing activities of$7.4 billion for the first three quarters of fiscal 2019. The change was primarily due to higher repurchases of our common stock under accelerated share repurchase agreements in fiscal 2019 and higher proceeds from issuance of long-term debt in fiscal 2020. Contractual Obligations In Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the 10-K, we disclosed that we had$28.2 billion in total contractual obligations as ofSeptember 29, 2019 . Other than our commercial paper and credit facilities borrowings, the issuance of our 2027 notes, our 2030 notes and our 2050 notes in the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and the issuance of our 2022 notes, our 2030 notes and our 2050 notes in the third quarter of fiscal 2020 as described in Note 8 , Debt, to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this 10-Q, there have been no material changes to our total obligations during the period covered by this 10-Q outside of the normal course of our business. 45 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements Other than the addition of operating leases to the balance sheet in the first quarter of fiscal 2020 as described in Note 9 , Leases, there has been no material change in our off-balance sheet arrangements discussed in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the 10-K. Commodity Prices, Availability and General Risk Conditions Commodity price risk represents our primary market risk, generated by our purchases of green coffee and dairy products, among other items. We purchase, roast and sell high-quality arabica coffee and related products and risk arises from the price volatility of green coffee. In addition to coffee, we also purchase significant amounts of dairy products to support the needs of our company-operated stores. The price and availability of these commodities directly impact our results of operations, and we expect commodity prices, particularly coffee, to impact future results of operations. For additional details, see Product Supply in Item 1 of the 10-K, as well as Risk Factors in Item 1A of the 10-K. Seasonality and Quarterly Results Our business is subject to moderate seasonal fluctuations, of which our fiscal second quarter typically experiences lower revenues and operating income. However, the COVID-19 outbreak may have an impact on consumer behaviors and customer traffic that result in changes in the seasonal fluctuations of our business. Additionally, as our stored value cards are issued to and loaded by customers during the holiday season, we tend to have higher cash flows from operations during the first quarter of the fiscal year. However, since revenues from our stored value cards are recognized upon redemption and not when cash is loaded, the impact of seasonal fluctuations on the consolidated statements of earnings is much less pronounced. As a result of moderate seasonal fluctuations, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS See Note 1 , Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of Part I of this 10-Q, for a detailed description of recent accounting pronouncements. Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk There has been no material change in the commodity price risk, foreign currency exchange risk, equity security price risk or interest rate risk discussed in Item 7A of the 10-K. Item 4. Controls and Procedures We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in our periodic reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in theSEC's rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures are also designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. During the third quarter of fiscal 2020, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and our 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 Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of the end of the period covered by this report (June 28, 2020 ). There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect internal control over financial reporting. The certifications required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are filed as exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to this 10-Q. 46
