Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

Starbucks is involved in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including litigation matters associated with labor union organizing efforts and certain employment litigation cases that have been certified as class or collective actions, but is not currently a party to any legal proceeding that management believes could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. While we are closely monitoring the operational and financial impacts of labor union organizing efforts on our business, as of the date of this filing, we believe the risk of a material contingent loss associated with these litigation matters is remote. Refer to the Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A of our most recently filed 10-K for further discussion of potential risks to our brand and related impacts on our financial results.
