Starbucks Corp (NASDAQ:SBUX) Earnings Model  

Author: Adam Refai   Published: April 18, 2021 1:30pm   Category: Earnings Preview (Fiscal 2Q2021)

Notes from the Model Developer: This model is driven by Starbucks’ channel development growth, company and licensed stores added, and overall growth rate. In the China Asia Pacific (CAP), I estimate channel development growth to increase as the COVID lockdown is encouraging more people to buy packaged coffee for at-home consumption. For this metric, international channel development revenue growth to 30% to represent my view on consumer behavior. On the other hand, internationally, with a focus on the CAP region, I also estimate that net new stores will increase because, in China, there has been a rise in popularity in Coffee with Starbucks being a big driver and player in that as well as the procedures for lockdown decreasing. However, people got used to staying at home and so I still the bulk orders from stores will rise. For the rise in net new stores, I increased international net new stores added to 118, 130, and 125, for F2Q21, F3Q21, and F4Q21, respectively, adjusting for seasonality- big spike in F3Q21. This also drove my international comp-store sales to increase to 90%, 8%, 13% for F2Q21, F3Q21, and F4Q21, respectively. In the Americas region, I expect net new stores added to decrease because I don’t believe the current economic environment in the United States is as strong and the bounceback won’t be as soon as Management states. To quantify this, I have decreased net new stores added in the Americas to 10, 15, 18 for F2Q21, F3Q21, and F4Q21, respectively. I also then decreased the Americas comp store sales total to 6% for F2Q21. On the other hand, I decreased net new licensed stores added to 7, 7, 11 for F2Q21, F3Q21, and F4Q21, respectively as I don’t believe malls or Barnes & Nobles carrying Starbucks products will bounce back as generously and swiftly as Starbucks itself- the stores that carry Starbucks are still empty and traffic has decreased significantly. Management will also prioritize operated stores over licensed. Finally, in terms of overall growth, I forecast that Starbucks already has begun bouncing back from COVID shutdowns so I increased the projected growth rate revenue from -30% to -25% as I can see a reasonably brighter future for the company ahead driven by strong management guidance and CAP food traffic at their stores.
