| Starbucks Reports Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2008 Results |
Company Closes Transitional Year with Re-architected Cost Structure Results Reflect Q4 and FY08 Transformation and Restructuring Costs Positioned to Grow Earnings in Fiscal 2009 SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 10, 2008--Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX) today reported financial results for its fourth quarter ended September 28, 2008, as well as full fiscal 2008 results. As Starbucks moves from fiscal 2008, a year of significant transition for the company, it is well positioned to deliver in fiscal 2009 with the following foundational planks in place:
"With a re-architected cost structure at the close of fiscal 2008, we began the new fiscal year with a healthier store portfolio that will allow for operating margin expansion," commented Howard Schultz, chairman, president and ceo. "Despite a global economic environment which shows no immediate signs of improvement, the steps we took in FY08 position us to deliver EPS growth in FY09." Schultz continued, "We appear to be more resilient than many other premium brands. And while we cannot call isolated signs of improving sales a trend, we are encouraged by our ability to drive increased traffic at a relatively low cost, as we did on Election Day. As we head into the holiday season and Calendar '09, consumers are looking for value and we've been pleased with the steady progress of our Starbucks Rewards program and the enthusiastic reception to the Starbucks Gold Card. I am optimistic we are well positioned to weather this challenging economic environment." Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2008 Summary Consolidated net revenues increased 3 percent to $2.5 billion for the fourth quarter of 2008, compared to $2.4 billion for the fourth quarter of 2007. For the 13-week period ended September 28, 2008, Starbucks reported net income of $5.4 million, which included $105.1 million of restructuring charges and other transformation strategy costs. Net income was $158.5 million for the same period a year ago. Earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter was $0.01, compared to $0.21 per share earned in the prior year period. The company estimates that restructuring charges and costs associated with the execution of its transformation agenda impacted fourth quarter 2008 EPS by approximately $0.09 per share. The majority of these costs consist of charges associated with company actions announced in July of 2008 to close approximately 600 company-operated stores in the U.S. and 61 company-operated stores in Australia, and reduce approximately 1,000 open and filled positions within its leadership structure and non-store organization. Excluding the restructuring charges and other transformation costs, fourth-quarter fiscal 2008 non-GAAP net income was $71.0 million and non-GAAP EPS for fiscal fourth quarter 2008 was $0.10 per share. Fiscal 2008 - Year in Review For fiscal 2008, consolidated net revenues increased 10 percent to $10.4 billion, compared to $9.4 billion for fiscal 2007. Company-operated retail revenues in fiscal 2008 rose 10 percent to $8.8 billion from $8.0 billion in fiscal 2007, due to the opening of 681 net new company-operated stores, offset by a 3 percent decline in comparable store sales for the 12-month period. The weakness in consolidated comparable store sales was driven by the U.S. segment, which posted comparable store sales of negative 5 percent. Partially offsetting this was positive 2 percent comparable store sales in the International segment for the year. Specialty revenues grew 14 percent for the year to $1.6 billion from $1.4 billion in fiscal 2007. Operating income for fiscal 2008 decreased to $504 million, compared to $1.1 billion for fiscal 2007. Operating margin contracted 630 basis points to 4.9 percent of total net revenues for the full year ended September 28, 2008, from 11.2 percent for the same period a year ago. Margin compression was primarily due to lower revenues; in addition, restructuring charges associated with the store closures and right-sizing of the business and support organization accounted for approximately 40 percent of the decrease. Excluding restructuring charges and other transformation strategy costs, non-GAAP operating margin for fiscal year 2008 was 8.1 percent. Net earnings totaled $315.5 million for fiscal 2008, versus $672.6 million in fiscal 2007, while EPS for the year was $0.43, compared to EPS of $0.87 in fiscal 2007. For the full year 2008, restructuring charges and other transformation costs impacted EPS by approximately $0.28 per share. Excluding these charges, non-GAAP EPS for fiscal year 2008 was $0.71 per share. Fourth Quarter Financials The three-percent growth in consolidated net revenues in the fourth quarter 2008 was heavily influenced by the U.S. business, which contributed 75 percent of total net revenues. The company's lower than expected revenue growth was driven by an 8 percent decrease in U.S. comparable store sales for the quarter due to both deteriorating traffic trends in the U.S., and a decline in the average value per transaction. For the quarter, U.S. total net revenues increased by $17.3 million, or 1 percent, to $1.9 billion mainly due to increased revenues from licensed stores. Revenues from U.S. company-operated retail stores declined slightly to $1.7 billion for the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2008, compared to the same period of last year, primarily due to the decline in comparable stores sales more than offsetting revenue growth from new stores. International total net revenues expanded 13 percent, or $61.8 million, to $533.6 million for the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2008 as the company continued to expand its store presence in its 45 markets outside the U.S., with the majority of new store openings being international licensed stores. Overall, comparable store sales for the International segment were flat for the fourth quarter, primarily resulting from a decline in traffic in the UK along with continued softer sales in Canada during the period. For the Global Consumer Products Group (CPG), total net revenues declined by 4 percent, or $4.6 million, to $105.0 million for the fourth quarter fiscal 2008 due primarily to decreased revenues from packaged coffee sales in the U.S. market. For the discussion of operating expenses, it is important to note that many of the company's operating expenses are fixed in nature. As a result, the softness in U.S. revenues during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 impacted nearly all consolidated and U.S. segment operating expense line items when viewed as a percentage of sales. Additionally, restructuring charges and other transformation costs negatively impacted the company's operating income and operating margin in both the U.S. and International business segments. Consolidated cost of sales including occupancy costs increased 360 basis points to 47.3 percent of total net revenues for the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2008, compared to 43.7 percent in the corresponding period in fiscal 2007. The increase was primarily due to higher distribution costs, inventory write-downs, and higher rent expenses as a percentage of revenues. Store operating expenses as a percentage of related company-operated retail revenues rose 350 basis points to 44.5 percent in the fourth quarter 2008, from 41.0 percent for the prior year period. The increase was primarily due to higher payroll expenditures as a percentage of revenues in the U.S. business, as well as impairment provisions for under-performing stores in the U.S. and International markets. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total net revenues improved 130 basis points to 3.8 percent for the fourth quarter 2008, from 5.1 percent for the corresponding period of fiscal 2007. The favorability was primarily due to lower payroll-related expenses. Restructuring charges totaled $99.2 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. Of that amount, $38.6 million was related to executing on the decision to close approximately 600 underperforming U.S. company-operated stores. Total lease exit costs are now expected to be up to $170 million. This revised estimate compares to the previously disclosed range of $120 million to $140 million, initially reported on July 1, 2008. During fourth quarter fiscal 2008, the first 205 of these stores were closed. The approximately 400 remaining U.S. store closures are now expected to occur by the end of fiscal 2009 and the remaining lease exit costs are expected to be recognized during that time frame. The restructuring charges recognized during the fourth quarter also included the closure of 61 company-operated stores in Australia, and costs associated with the reduction in positions within Starbucks leadership structure and non-store organization, which includes severance costs and impairment charges related to corporate real estate the company no longer plans to occupy. Consolidated operating income was $14.2 million for the 13-week period ended September 28, 2008, compared with operating income of $248.0 million in the comparable prior year period. Operating margin was 0.6 percent of total net revenues for the fourth quarter fiscal 2008 compared to 10.2 percent for the same period a year ago. Margin compression was primarily due to softer revenues; restructuring charges of $99.2 million recognized in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 added 390 basis points of the decrease. For fourth quarter fiscal 2008, the U.S. segment produced operating income of $51.1 million, compared with $224.6 million for the same period a year ago. Operating margin was 2.7 percent of related revenues for the fourth quarter fiscal 2008 compared to 12.1 percent in the corresponding period of fiscal 2007. This decrease was primarily driven by softer revenues due to weak traffic; in addition, restructuring charges of $43.2 million recognized in the period had a 230-basis-point impact on operating margin. International operating income decreased to $2.6 million for the fourth quarter 2008, with the related operating margin contracting to 0.5 percent of related revenues, from 10.8 percent in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. The primary reason for this decline was softer revenues due to weak traffic; in addition, $19.2 million in restructuring charges impacted the operating margin by 360 basis points. Operating income for the CPG segment was $63.3 million for the 13 weeks ended September 28, 2008 and operating margin increased 340 basis points to 60.3 percent of related revenues from 56.9 percent for the prior year period. The margin improvement was primarily due to the mix of revenue being less weighted toward the initial sale of coffee and tea products to Starbucks distributor, which have related cost of sales expenses, and more toward revenue profit sharing earned on the distributor's sales to retailers. Income tax for the company in the fourth quarter was a benefit of $6.6 million, compared to an expense of $88.3 million for the same period a year ago. The fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 included an adjustment to arrive at the full-year tax rate, the impact of which was significant as a percentage of the small amount of pretax loss, and resulted in a tax benefit that exceeded the amount of pretax loss. Balance Sheet and Cash Flows Starbucks financial position and liquidity remain strong and the company is committed to its current capital structure and ratings. Starbucks operations continue to produce solid operating cash flows, and the actions the company has taken as part of its transformation strategy implemented during fiscal 2008, along with reduced capital expenditures from fewer store openings during fiscal 2009, are expected to position Starbucks to generate higher free cash flow going forward. At fiscal year end 2008, the company had $271 million available for short-term borrowings under its combined credit facility and commercial paper program. Starbucks continues to have access to short-term debt instruments within its overall capital strategy. For fiscal 2008, cash flow from operations was $1.3 billion, flat with fiscal 2007, while capital expenditures for fiscal 2008 declined to $985 million versus $1.1 billion for the previous year. 2009 Financial and Operational Metrics Starbucks is providing updated information about fiscal 2009 key financial and operational metrics, which are impacted by recent actions associated with its transformation strategy as well as the effects of the current operating environment. As a baseline for its fiscal 2009 non-GAAP EPS expectations, the company is using fiscal 2008 consolidated comparable store sales of negative three percent and non-GAAP EPS of $0.71. In addition, non-GAAP EPS for fiscal 2009 excludes up to an estimated $0.12 per share in lease exit costs associated with the fiscal 2008 U.S. and Australia store closure decisions. Starbucks believes that if it were to report a two percent decline in consolidated comparable store sales in fiscal 2009, the company would deliver GAAP EPS of about $0.78 per share, or non-GAAP EPS of approximately $0.90 per share. If the current environment worsens, the company believes even a five percent decrease in consolidated comparable store sales would result in GAAP EPS of approximately $0.68 per share, or non-GAAP EPS of around $0.80 per share. In the event of further deterioration in consumer spending and its associated impact on traffic, Starbucks believes a seven percent decline in consolidated same store sales would lead to GAAP EPS of approximately $0.59 per share, or non-GAAP EPS relatively flat year-over-year. Both GAAP and non-GAAP EPS estimates factor in a range of $200 million to $210 million in pretax positive benefit, or $0.17 to $0.18 of EPS, from the U.S. company-operated store closures, restructuring of the Australia market and cost savings from the leadership and non-store organization changes. The company is not providing specific quarterly EPS targets for fiscal 2009, however, in addition to lease exit costs, the first quarter will also be impacted by Starbucks significant investment in its field organization through the leadership conference in late October. Starbucks fiscal first quarter 2009 is also expected to be the toughest comparable period year-over-year. Starbucks 2009 U.S. store opening target is now approximately a negative 20 net new stores, which includes a nearly 225 company-operated store decline and approximately 205 net new licensed stores. Internationally, Starbucks is now planning to open approximately 700 net new stores in fiscal 2009, two-thirds of which are expected to be licensed, as it factors in the current global economic climate, with a more cautious approach in the UK and Western Europe. The company's outlook for capital expenditures in fiscal 2009 has been further reduced to approximately $700 million, reflecting lower store opening targets for its International segment. Starbucks remains committed to maintaining its credit ratings, and plans to use its free cash flow to reduce short-term borrowings during fiscal 2009.

Non-GAAP Disclosure In addition to the GAAP results provided in this release, the company provides historical non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP earnings per share (non-GAAP EPS), and non-GAAP operating margins, as well as projections for non-GAAP EPS. These non-GAAP financial measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The GAAP measures most directly comparable to non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP operating margin, and non-GAAP EPS are net earnings, operating margin, and diluted net earnings per share, respectively. Each of the historical non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release excludes costs associated with store closures in the U.S. and Australia as well as the impact of recent head count reductions and costs related to the implementation of the company's transformation strategy recognized in fiscal 2008. Projected non-GAAP EPS for fiscal year 2009 excludes costs associated with store closures in the U.S. and Australia expected to be recognized in fiscal 2009. The company's management believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures better enables investors to understand and evaluate the company's current and prospective operating performance. More specifically, management excludes each of those items mentioned above because it believes that these costs do not reflect expected future operating expenses and do not contribute to a meaningful evaluation of the company's current or future operating performance or comparisons to the company's past operating performance. Further, the company believes that providing these non-GAAP financial measures to investors in addition to the related GAAP measures provides investors with greater transparency to the information used by the company's management in its financial and operational decision-making. These non-GAAP financial measures may have limitations as analytical tools, and 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 non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP operating margin, and non-GAAP EPS differently than the company does, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.
