Starbucks Reports Record Q4 and Full Year Fiscal 2021 Results

Oct. 28, 2021

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 28, 2021--Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ: SBUX) today reported financial results for its 14-week fiscal fourth quarter ended October 3, 2021. GAAP results in fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020 include items that 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.

"Our strong finish to fiscal 2021, including record performance in the fourth quarter, demonstrates the resilience of Starbucks and reinforces the value of the bold strategic moves we have taken over the past two years. Through it all, we have thoughtfully navigated a strong recovery with an eye towards our future, all guided by our Mission and Values," said Kevin Johnson, president and ceo.

"Today we announce we will be doubling-down on our investments in our partners, the heartbeat of our company. We know that when we exceed the expectations of our people, they in turn exceed the expectations of our customers - which creates value for all of our stakeholders - our partners, our customers, our communities and our shareholders. We anticipate that our strong business momentum, increased operating efficiency and continued global store expansion will fund these unprecedented investments while delivering yet another year of significant growth," concluded Johnson.

Fiscal 2021 Re-segmentation

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021, certain changes were made to the company's management team, and the operating segment reporting structure was realigned as a result. The company realigned the fully licensed Latin America and Caribbean markets from the Americas operating segment to the International operating segment. The Americas operating segment has been renamed the North America operating segment, comprised of company-operated and licensed stores in the U.S. and Canada. Fiscal 2020 segment information has been restated to conform with current period presentation.

There was no impact to consolidated net revenues, consolidated operating income or net earnings per share as a result of these changes.

Net revenues for the International segment grew 27% (18% on a 13-week basis) over Q4 FY20 to $1.9 billion in Q4 FY21, driven by 1,287 net new store openings, or 8% store growth, over the past 12 months, incremental revenue from the extra week in Q4 fiscal 2021, higher product sales to and royalty revenues from our licensees, a 3% favorable impact from foreign currency translation and a 3% increase in comparable store sales, partially driven by the lapping of prior year COVID impacts.

Operating income increased to $377.4 million in Q4 FY21 compared to $181.7 million in Q4 FY20. Operating margin of 19.7% increased from 12.0% in the prior year, primarily driven by sales leverage due to lapping the severe impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, favorability from temporary government subsidies, lapping store asset impairments in the prior year and labor efficiencies across company-operated markets.

Revenues $438.3 $464.0 (6)%

Operating Income $219.8 $197.9 11%

Net revenues for the Channel Development segment of $438.3 million in Q4 FY21 were 6% lower (10% lower on a 13-week basis) relative to Q4 FY20. The decline was primarily driven by a 20% unfavorable impact of Global Coffee Alliance transition-related activities, including a structural change in our single-serve business, partially offset by incremental revenue from the extra week in Q4 fiscal 2021 and growth in the Global Coffee Alliance and the International ready-to-drink businesses.

Operating income increased to $219.8 million in Q4 FY21, up from $197.9 million in Q4 FY20. Operating margin of 50.1% expanded from 42.7% in the prior year, primarily due to Global Coffee Alliance transition-related activities, including the structural change in our single-serve business partially offset by the impact of the extra week in Q4 fiscal 2021.

By January 2022, retail partners with two or more years of service will see up to a 5-10% increase in their pay, and in Summer 2022, all hourly retail workers in the U.S. will make an average of nearly $17/ hr. with barista hourly rates ranging from $15 to $23/ hr. across the country. * In July, the company announced a new collaboration with Nestl to bring Starbucks ready-to-drink coffee beverages to select markets across Southeast Asia, Oceania and Latin America.

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 general and administrative expenses (G&A), non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating income growth, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP effective tax rate and non-GAAP earnings per share 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 income growth, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP effective tax rate and non-GAAP earnings per share are general and administrative expenses, operating income, operating income growth, operating margin, effective tax rate and diluted net earnings per share, respectively.

Non-GAAP Exclusion Rationale

Sale of certain Management excludes the gain related to the sale of ourjoint venture South Korea joint venture operations as this incrementaloperations gain was specific to the sale activity and for reasons discussed above.

Management excludes restructuring and impairment costsRestructuring and relating to the write-down of certain company-operatedimpairment costs store and corporate assets. Management excludes these items for reasons discussed above. These expenses are anticipated to be completed within a finite period of time.

Management excludes integration costs and amortization ofIntegration costs the acquired intangible assets for reasons discussed above. Additionally, the majority of these costs will be recognized over a finite period of time.

Nestl? transaction Management excludes the transaction and integration-relatedand costs related to the Global Coffee Alliance with Nestl?integration-related (inclusive of incremental costs to grow and develop thecosts alliance) for reasons discussed above.

Non-GAAP G&A, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating income growth, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP effective tax rate and non-GAAP earnings per share 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.

Certain non-GAAP measures included in this report were not reconciled to the comparable GAAP financial measures because the GAAP measures are not accessible on a forward-looking basis. The company is unable to reconcile these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts because the company is currently unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the type and extent of certain items that would be expected to impact GAAP measures for these periods but would not impact the non-GAAP 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.
