Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ: SBUX) today reported financial results for its 13-week fiscal second quarter ended March 31, 2019. GAAP results in fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 include items which are excluded from non-GAAP results. Please refer to the reconciliation of GAAP measures to non-GAAP measures at the end of this release for more information.

“Starbucks delivered another quarter of solid operating results, demonstrating that our ‘Growth at Scale’ agenda is working,” said Kevin Johnson, president and ceo. “We are especially pleased with our comparable store sales growth in our two lead markets, the U.S. and China, where we are also continuing to drive strong new store development with industry-leading returns. With solid first-half financial results, we are on track to deliver on our full-year commitments.”

“Starbucks remains focused and disciplined in the execution of our three key strategic priorities: accelerating growth in our targeted markets of the U.S. and China, expanding the global reach of the Starbucks brand through our Global Coffee Alliance with Nestlé, and increasing shareholder returns. With our efforts to streamline the company and elevate the Starbucks brand, we are not only positioning the company to deliver more predictable and sustainable operating results but are also building Starbucks to be an enduring company that creates meaningful value for shareholders for decades to come,” concluded Johnson.

Q2 Fiscal 2019 Highlights

  • Global comparable store sales increased 3%, driven by a 3% increase in average ticket
    • Americas and U.S. comparable store sales increased 4%, driven by a 4% increase in average ticket
    • China/Asia Pacific comparable store sales increased 2%, driven by a 2% increase in average ticket; China comparable store sales increased 3%, with comparable transactions down 1%
  • The company opened 319 net new stores in Q2, yielding 30,184 stores at the end of the quarter, a 7% increase over the prior year. 94% of net new store openings were outside of the U.S. while 88% were licensed
  • Consolidated net revenues of $6.3 billion grew 5% over the prior year
    • Consolidated net revenues grew 9% over the prior year adjusted for approximately 3% of net reduction from Streamline-driven activities and a 1% headwind from unfavorable foreign currency translation
    • Streamline-driven activities include the licensing of our CPG and foodservice businesses to Nestlé following the close of the deal on August 26, 2018, and the conversion of certain international retail operations from company-operated to licensed models
  • GAAP operating margin, inclusive of restructuring and impairment charges, increased 80 basis points year-over-year to 13.6%, primarily due to lower restructuring and impairment charges, the beneficial impact of cost savings initiatives, sales leverage, and new revenue recognition accounting for stored value card (SVC) breakage, partially offset by Streamline-driven activities and partner (employee) and other strategic investments
    • Non-GAAP operating margin of 15.8% declined 40 basis points compared to the prior year. Excluding an 80-basis point unfavorable impact from Streamline-related activities, non-GAAP operating margin expanded by approximately 40 basis points

Operating income grew 12% to $899.0 million in Q2 FY19, up from $801.3 million in Q2 FY18. Operating margin of 20.9% increased 80 basis points, primarily due to sales leverage, cost savings initiatives, and new revenue recognition accounting for SVC breakage, partially offset by partners (employees) investments funded by savings from the U.S. tax law changes and growth in wages and benefits.

 

Q2 China/Asia Pacific Segment Results

                  Quarter Ended     Change (%) ($ in millions)     Mar 31, 2019     Apr 1, 2018     Comparable Store Sales Growth (1) 2%     3% Change in Transactions 0% 0% Change in Ticket 2% 3% Store Count 8,993 7,995 12% Revenues $1,289.1 $1,186.4 9% Operating Income $231.7 $204.6 13% Operating Margin     18.0%     17.2%     80 bps (1) Includes only Starbucks® company-operated stores open 13 months or longer.

Q2 FY19 operating income of $231.7 million grew 13% over Q2 FY18 operating income of $204.6 million. Operating margin increased 80 basis points to 18.0%, primarily due to sales leverage and cost savings initiatives.

Comparable store sales exclude the effect of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. (2) Company-operated stores represent 11% of the EMEA segment store portfolio as of March 31, 2019.  

Net revenues for the EMEA segment declined 9% from Q2 FY18 to $227.5 million in Q2 FY19 due to unfavorable foreign currency translation and the conversion of our France and Netherlands retail businesses to fully licensed operations in Q2 FY19, partially offset by 307 net new store openings, or 10% store growth, over the past 12 months.

EMEA’s operating loss of $2.8 million in Q2 FY19 was 74% lower versus an operating loss of $10.9 million in Q2 FY18. Operating margin increased 310 basis points to (1.2)%, primarily due to the shift in the portfolio towards more licensed stores and the closure of certain company-operated stores.

Net revenues for the Channel Development segment of $446.6 million in Q2 FY19 decreased 21% versus Q2 FY18, primarily due to licensing our CPG and foodservice businesses to Nestlé following the close of the deal on August 26, 2018.

Operating income of $149.0 million in Q2 FY19 declined 36% compared to Q2 FY18. Operating margin declined 820 basis points to 33.4%, primarily due to licensing our CPG and foodservice businesses to Nestlé and support costs related to the Global Coffee Alliance.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Such items may include acquisitions, divestitures, restructuring and other items. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the company’s GAAP financial results.

Non-GAAP Disclosure

In addition to the GAAP results provided in this release, the company provides certain non-GAAP financial measures that are not in accordance with, or alternatives for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Our non-GAAP financial measures of non-GAAP G&A, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP effective tax rate and non-GAAP EPS exclude the below-listed items and their related tax impacts, as they do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of the company’s future operating performance or comparisons to the company’s past operating performance. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to non-GAAP G&A, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP effective tax rate and non-GAAP EPS are general and administrative expenses, operating income, operating margin, effective tax rate and diluted net earnings per share, respectively.

Non-GAAP Exclusion     Rationale East China acquisition-related gain Management excludes the gain on the purchase of our East China joint venture as this incremental gain is specific to the purchase activity and for reasons discussed above. Sale of Taiwan joint venture operations Management excludes the gain related to the sale of our Taiwan joint venture operations as this incremental gain is specific to the sale activity and for reasons discussed above. Sale of Tazo brand Management excludes the net gain on the sale of our assets associated with our Tazo brand and associated transaction costs as these items do not reflect future gains, losses, costs or tax benefits and for reasons discussed above. Sale of certain retail operations Management excludes the gains and net loss related to the sale of our France, Netherlands and Brazil retail operations and associated transaction costs as these items do not reflect future losses, expenses or tax impacts and for reasons discussed above. Restructuring, impairment and optimization costs Management excludes restructuring charges and business process optimization costs related to strategic shifts in its Teavana, EMEA, U.S., e-commerce and other business units. Additionally, management excludes expenses related to divesting certain lower-margin businesses and assets, such as closure of certain company-operated stores and Switzerland intangible asset impairments. Management excludes these items for reasons discussed above. These expenses are anticipated to be completed within a finite period of time. CAP transaction and integration-related costs Management excludes transaction and integration costs and amortization of the acquired intangible assets for reasons discussed above. Additionally, the majority of these costs will be recognized over a finite period of time. 2018 U.S. stock award Management excludes the incremental stock-based compensation award granted in the third quarter of fiscal 2018 for reasons discussed above. Nestlé transaction-related costs Management excludes the transaction-related costs associated with Nestlé for reasons discussed above. Other tax matters On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into U.S. law. Management excludes the estimated transition tax on undistributed foreign earnings, the impacts of estimated incremental foreign withholding taxes on expected repatriated earnings and the re–measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities due to the reduction of the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate for reasons discussed above.

Non-GAAP G&A, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP effective tax rate and non-GAAP EPS may have limitations as analytical tools. 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.
