Prepared Remarks:

Operator

Good afternoon. My name is Diego, and I will be your conference operator today. I would like to welcome everyone to Starbucks' fourth quarter and fiscal year-end 2022 conference call. [Operator instructions] I would now turn the call over to Tiffany Willis, vice president of investor relations.

Ms. Willis, you may now begin your conference.

Tiffany Willis -- Vice President, Investor Relations

Thank you, Diego, and good afternoon, everyone. And thank you for joining us today to discuss Starbucks' fourth quarter and fiscal year 2022 results. Today's discussion will be led by Howard Schultz, interim chief executive officer; Frank Britt, executive vice president, chief strategy and transformation officer; Sara Trilling, executive vice president and president of Starbucks North America; and Rachel Ruggeri, executive vice president and CFO. And for Q&A, we will be joined by Laxman Narasimhan, incoming chief executive officer; Michael Conway, group president of international and channel development; and Belinda Wong, chairwoman of Starbucks China.

This conference call will include forward-looking statements, which are subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from these statements. Any such statements should be considered in conjunction with cautionary statements in our earnings release and risk factors discussed in our filings with the SEC, including our latest annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Starbucks assumes no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements or information. GAAP results in fourth quarter fiscal year 2022 include several items related to strategic actions, including restructuring and impairment charges, transaction and integration costs and other items.

These items are excluded from our non-GAAP results. All numbers referenced on today's call are on a non-GAAP basis, unless otherwise noted, or there is no non-GAAP adjustment related to the metrics. Further, year-on-year comparative metrics on today's call are based on a 13-week or 52-week basis, to exclude the impact of an extra fiscal week in fiscal 2021. For non-GAAP financial measures and year-on-year metrics mentioned in today's call, please refer to the earnings release and our website at investor.starbucks.com to find reconciliations of those non-GAAP measures to their corresponding GAAP measures and 53-week and 52-week metrics.

This conference call is being webcast, and an archive of the webcast will be available on our website through Friday, December 2, 2022. And for your calendar planning purposes, please note that our first quarter fiscal year 2023 earnings conference call has been tentatively scheduled for Thursday, February 2, 2023. And with that, allow me to turn the call over to Howard.
