  Quarter Ended   Change
Operating Results Oct 2, 2016   Sep 27, 2015
($ in millions, except per share amounts)   (14 Weeks Ended)   (13 Weeks Ended)  
Net New Stores 690 524 166
Revenues $5,711.2 $4,914.8 16%
Operating Income $1,227.5 $969.4 27%
Operating Margin 21.5% 19.7% 180 bps
EPS   $0.54   $0.43   26%

Consolidated net revenues were $5.7 billion in Q4 FY16, an increase of 16% over Q4 FY15. The increase was primarily driven by the impact of the 53rd week in Q4 FY16, incremental revenues from the opening of 2,042 net new stores over the past 12 months, and a 4% increase in global comparable store sales.

Consolidated operating income grew 27% to $1,227.5 million in Q4 FY16, up from $969.4 million in Q4 FY15. Consolidated operating margin expanded 180 basis points to 21.5% primarily due to sales leverage, the impact of the 53rd week in Q4 FY16, and lower commodity costs, primarily coffee. These increases were partially offset by higher salaries and benefits and investments in our partners (employees) and digital platforms.

Q4 Americas Segment Results

     
Quarter Ended Change
Oct 2, 2016 Sep 27, 2015
($ in millions)   (14 Weeks Ended)   (13 Weeks Ended)  
Net New Stores 307 233 74
Revenues $3,968.1 $3,383.8 17%
Operating Income $1,096.9 $840.6 30%
Operating Margin   27.6%   24.8%   280 bps

Net revenues for the Americas segment were $4.0 billion in Q4 FY16, an increase of 17% over Q4 FY15. The increase was driven by the impact of the 53rd week in Q4 FY16, a 5% increase in comparable store sales, and incremental revenues from 804 net new store openings over the past 12 months.

Operating income of $1,096.9 million in Q4 FY16 grew 30% versus $840.6 million in Q4 FY15. Operating margin of 27.6% expanded 280 basis points primarily due to sales leverage and the impact of the 53rd week in Q4 FY16. Partially offsetting this expansion were increased investments in our store partners (employees).

Q4 China/Asia Pacific Segment Results

     
Quarter Ended Change
Oct 2, 2016 Sep 27, 2015
($ in millions)   (14 Weeks Ended)   (13 Weeks Ended)  
Net New Stores 316 223 93
Revenues $839.2 $652.2 29%
Operating Income $192.4 $129.8 48%
Operating Margin   22.9%   19.9%   300 bps

Net revenues for the China/Asia Pacific segment grew 29% over Q4 FY15 to $839.2 million in Q4 FY16. The increase was primarily driven by incremental revenues from 981 net new store openings over the past 12 months, the impact of the 53rd week in Q4 FY16, and favorable foreign currency translation.

Operating income grew 48% over Q4 FY15 to $192.4 million in Q4 FY16. Operating margin expanded 300 basis points to 22.9% primarily driven by changes to business tax structures in certain markets, sales leverage, higher income from our joint venture operations, and the impact of the 53rd week in Q4 FY16. Partially offsetting this expansion was the impact of foreign currency translation.

Q4 EMEA Segment Results

     
Quarter Ended Change
Oct 2, 2016 Sep 27, 2015
($ in millions)   (14 Weeks Ended)   (13 Weeks Ended)  
Net New Stores 77 71 6
Revenues $270.2 $308.3 (12)%
Operating Income $45.8 $53.1 (14)%
Operating Margin   17.0%   17.2%   (20) bps

Net revenues for the EMEA segment were $270.2 million in Q4 FY16, a 12% decrease versus Q4 FY15. The decrease was primarily driven by the shift to more licensed stores in the region, which includes the absence of revenue related to the sale of our Germany retail operations in Q3 FY16 and the conversion of certain stores to licensed. Partially offsetting the decrease were incremental revenues from the opening of 294 net new licensed stores over the past 12 months.

Operating income decreased 14% to $45.8 million in Q4 FY16, down from $53.1 million in Q4 FY15. Operating margin declined 20 basis points to 17.0%, primarily due to unfavorable foreign currency exchange and sales deleverage in certain company-operated stores. The margin decline was partially offset by sales leverage driven by the shift in the portfolio towards more licensed stores and the impact of the 53rd week in Q4 FY16.

Q4 Channel Development Segment Results

     
Quarter Ended Change
Oct 2, 2016 Sep 27, 2015

Operating Margin   47.1%   43.2%   390 bps

Net revenues for the Channel Development segment grew 14% over Q4 FY15 to $518.5 million in Q4 FY16, primarily driven by the impact of the 53rd week in Q4 FY16 and increased sales of premium single-serve products.

Operating income of $244.3 million in Q4 FY16 increased 24% compared to Q4 FY15. Operating margin increased 390 basis points to 47.1%, primarily driven by lower coffee costs and higher income from the North American Coffee Partnership.

Non-GAAP Disclosure

In addition to the GAAP results provided in this release, the company provides consolidated non-GAAP operating income and consolidated non-GAAP operating margin for Q4 fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015 as well as full year fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015; consolidated non-GAAP earnings per share ("non-GAAP EPS") for Q4 fiscal 2016 on a 14- and 13-week basis and full year fiscal 2016 on a 53- and 52-week basis; non-GAAP EPS for Q4 fiscal 2015 and full year fiscal 2015; China/Asia Pacific (“CAP”) segment non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin for Q4 fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015 as well as full year fiscal 2016 and 2015; Europe, Middle East, and Africa (“EMEA”) segment non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin for full year fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015; and projected consolidated non-GAAP EPS for full year fiscal 2017. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or alternatives for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, and non-GAAP EPS are operating income, operating margin, and diluted net earnings per share, respectively. The company’s management believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures better enables investors to understand and evaluate the company’s historical and prospective operating performance.

The consolidated fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015 non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain Starbucks Japan acquisition-related items, specifically amortization expense from acquired intangible assets and transaction and integration costs. The consolidated full year fiscal 2016 non-GAAP operating income and non-GAAP operating margin financial measures also exclude costs related to the sale of the German retail operations. The consolidated Q4 fiscal 2016 non-GAAP EPS financial measure also excludes costs incurred related to the sale of the German retail operations, and the consolidated full year fiscal 2016 non-GAAP EPS financial measure also excludes a gain on sale of the German retail operations, which is net of related costs, and an incremental tax benefit related to prior fiscal years for a U.S. manufacturing deduction. The Q4 and full year fiscal 2016 non-GAAP EPS figures on a 52-week basis also exclude the impact of the extra week in Q4 fiscal 2016. The fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015 CAP segment non-GAAP financial measures exclude the amortization expense from acquired intangible assets related to the acquisition of Starbucks Japan. The Q4 and full year fiscal 2016 CAP segment non-GAAP financial measures also exclude integration costs, such as incremental information technology and compensation-related costs associated with the acquisition. The full year fiscal 2016 EMEA segment non-GAAP financial measures exclude costs related to the sale of the German retail operations. The consolidated Q4 and full year fiscal 2015 non-GAAP EPS financial measures also exclude losses and costs related to the redemption of the company's $550 million of 6.250% 2017 Senior Notes and an incremental tax benefit related to a U.S. manufacturing deduction. Losses and costs related to the redemption of the company's $550 million of 6.250% 2017 Senior Notes are included as debt extinguishment-related items. The consolidated full year fiscal 2015 non-GAAP EPS financial measure also excludes a gain resulting from a fair value adjustment of Starbucks preexisting 39.5% ownership interest in Starbucks Japan prior to the acquisition. Management excludes the acquisition and sale related transaction costs described above because they believe these items do not reflect expected future expenses and do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of the company’s future operating performance or comparisons to the company’s past operating performance. In addition, management believes it is useful to exclude the Starbucks Japan integration costs and the amortization of the acquired intangible assets when evaluating performance because they are not representative of our core business operations. Although these items will affect earnings per share beyond the current fiscal year, the majority of these costs will be recognized over a finite period of time. More specifically, integration costs are expected to be concentrated in the first several years post-acquisition. Additionally, the amounts of the acquired intangible assets are specific to the transaction and the related future amortization was fixed at the time of acquisition and generally cannot subsequently be changed or influenced by management. Management excludes the Starbucks Japan fair value gain, debt extinguishment-related items, gain on sale of the German retail operations and related costs, and the incremental tax benefits because they believe these items do not reflect future gains, losses, costs or tax benefits and do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of the company’s fiscal 2016 or fiscal 2015 operating performance or comparisons of the company’s fiscal 2016 or fiscal 2015 operating performance to the company’s past or future operating performance. Management excludes the impact of the extra week in Q4 fiscal 2016 and full year fiscal 2016 non-GAAP EPS because it is not a regular occurrence in the company’s fiscal calendar and they believe it provides a more relative non-GAAP EPS comparison of the Company’s 2016 performance when compared to Q4 and full year fiscal 2015 performance, which did not have the extra week, as well comparison to full year projected fiscal 2017, which will not have the extra week.

The projected consolidated non-GAAP EPS for full year fiscal 2017 financial measures exclude certain Starbucks Japan acquisition-related items comprised of projected amortization expense from acquired intangible assets and integration costs. Management is excluding these items from our projected non-GAAP financial measures for the same reasons described above.

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