Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

Effective at the beginning of fiscal 2012, we implemented the previously announced strategic realignment of our organizational structure designed to accelerate our global growth strategy. Prior to fiscal 2012, Starbucks retail business was structured as Starbucks U.S. and Starbucks Coffee International, which encompassed 54 markets outside the United States. Under the new organizational structure, the retail business will be split among the following three regions:

 

   

Americas: United States, Canada, and Latin America

 

   

China and Asia Pacific

 

   

EMEA: Europe, Middle East, Russia and Africa

A president for each region, reporting directly to our chief executive officer, now oversees the company-operated retail business working closely with both the licensed and joint-venture business partners in each market. The regional presidents also work closely with our Global Consumer Products and Foodservice team to continue building out our brands and channels in each region.

In connection with the changes to our organizational structure, and the resulting changes in the management reporting to our chief executive officer, we will change our reporting segments in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended January 1, 2012. Each of the above regions represents an operating segment and a reportable segment. We will continue to present our Global Consumer Products Group and Foodservice as a reportable segment and will continue to include our Seattle’s Best Coffee operating segment along with Digital Ventures and unallocated corporate expenses in “Other.”

This Form 8-K provides a summary of the effects of the above reporting changes on Starbucks historical segment results. The information contained in this Form 8-K is being furnished pursuant to Regulation FD in order to provide the financial community with summary financial information and historical data that is on a basis consistent with our new reporting structure. Beginning with the quarter ended January 1, 2012, our financial statements will reflect the new reporting structure with prior periods adjusted accordingly.

In connection with the changes to our organizational structure and reporting, we have changed the accountability for, and reporting of, certain indirect overhead costs. Certain indirect merchandising, manufacturing costs and back-office shared service costs, which were previously allocated to segment level costs of sales and operating expenses, are now managed at a corporate level and will be reported within unallocated corporate expenses. These expenses have therefore been removed from the segment level information included in the attached supplemental financial data. On a consolidated basis, the impact of such changes is to reclassify certain operating expenses within our consolidated statement of earnings. In order to conform prior period classifications with the new alignment, the historical consolidated financial statements will be recast with the following adjustments to previously reported amounts:
