STEP 1: PROJECT SALES AND OTHER REVENUES
Projecting Sales
Starbucks competes in the fast-food restaurant chain industry through its chain of coffee
shops and in the consumer foods industry through its sales of coffee beans and ground
coffee in grocery stores and foodservice accounts. Both of these industries are mature and
competitive in the United States. In consumer foods, for example, industry sales have
grown recently at the growth rate for the general population, approximately 2% per year.
Starbucks has defied the characteristics of firms in mature industries, generating an
average compounded sales growth rate of 11.4% between 2010 and 2012, as shown in
Text Exhibit 10.14. Starbucks’ total sales and sales growth rates for 2010–2012 are as
follows:
Total Sales Amounts and Growth Rates (amounts in millions)
2010 2011 2012
Total Sales ………………………………………. $ 10,707 $ 11,700 $ 13,300
Growth Rates …………………………………… +9.5% +9.3% +13.7%
Starbucks discloses information about sales and operating profits for its four major
operating segments, Americas, EMEA, CAP, and CPG, Foodservice, and Other channels.
The Americas, EMEA, and CAP segment revenues include revenues from retail sales of
coffee beverages and related products through Starbucks’ company-owned and operated
stores. Each segment also includes revenues from licenses of Starbucks stores and related
sales of products to store licensees. The CPG and Foodservice segment includes revenues
from product sales through its distribution of packaged products to grocery stores and
warehouse clubs as well as to foodservice distributors such as SYSCO.
Starbucks discloses information about new store openings and comparable store sales,
two key drivers of its sales growth in the company operated stores. Net sales amounts,
growth rates, new store openings, and growth rates by segment for Starbucks appear in
Text Exhibit 10.17 above. By analyzing these sales growth data, students can develop
more detailed and accurate sales forecasts for each segment. The Exhibits 10.K–10.M
present the Sales Forecast Development spreadsheets toward the end of this case
discussion.
Revenue Forecasts
The data in Text Exhibit 10.17 indicate that Starbucks’ company-operated stores generate
roughly 79% of total revenues. Between 2010 and 2012, the retail segment experienced a
compound sales growth rate of 8.4%, driven largely by increases in new company-
operated stores each year, coupled with increases in sales per average store-year. Fiscal
year 2012 was a relatively strong year for Starbucks’ company operated stores, because
Starbucks added 308 new stores and generated a 6.2% same-store sales growth rate. Most
of the new growth in stores occurred in the Americas and the CAP segments.
Text Exhibit 10.17 shows that from 2010 to 2012, Starbucks’ revenues from licensing
also grew very successfully. During that time, licensing revenues experienced a
compound growth rate of 17.6%, a result of 669 net new stores and double-digit same

store growth rates. Again, the Americas and the CAP segments produced the strongest
performance in terms of new licensed stores and sales growth. But the fastest revenue
growth segment during this period was the CPG, Foodservice and Other segment,
growing at a compound rate of 33.8% from 2010 to 2012. Starbucks has been very
successful during this time at expanding sales of its products through grocery stores and
foodservice accounts.
As the case reveals, Starbucks’ management provided guidance in 2012 and again at
the end of the first quarter in Year +1 (2013), on the expected number of new stores to be
opened by segment and by store type during Year +1. Management guidance, indicates
Starbucks is planning to open roughly 1,300 new stores during Year +1 (300 owned and
300 licensed stores in the Americas; 200 owned and 400 licensed stores in the China Asia
Pacific segment; and 34 owned and 66 licensed stores in the Europe, Middle East and
Africa segment). Starbucks management also indicated they expect to incur $1,200
million in capital expenditures during Year +1. Management did not provide guidance
beyond Year +1. Starbucks’ management guidance has proved to be quite reliable in the
past, so we will rely on it now to inform our expectations.
We will accept management’s expectations for Year +1 and assume that Starbucks
will open 300 new company-owned stores and 300 new licensed stores in the Americas.
We will also assume that average sales per store in the Americas will grow by 5%. In
addition, we will assume that Starbucks will continue to open the same number of new
stores and generate the same level of same store sales growth in Year +2 through Year
+5.
For the EMEA segment, we will again accept management’s expectations for Year
+1 and assume that Starbucks will open only 34 new company-owned stores and 66 new
licensed stores. We will also assume that average sales per store in EMEA will continue
to be anemic, and grow by only 1%. We will also assume that Starbucks will continue to
open the same number of new stores and generate 1% same store sales growth in Years
+2, and then 2% growth in Year +2 through Year +5.
The CAP segment has been growing revenues at the fastest rates. We will accept
management’s expectations for Year +1 and assume that Starbucks will open 200 new
company-owned stores and 400 new licensed stores in the CAP segment. We will also
assume that average sales per store in the CAP segment will grow by 12% in Year +1.
Further, we will assume that Starbucks will continue to open the same number of new
stores Years +2 through Year +5. However, it is unlikely that Starbucks can continue to
generate the same level of same store sales growth, so we assume slowing rates of
growth: 10%, 9%, 8%, and 7% in Year +2 through Year +5, respectively.
The CPG, Foodservice and Other segment has generated strong revenue growth
recently, and seems well positioned to continue to sustain strong growth. We assume this
segment’s revenues will grow 30% in Year +1. We assume slowing (but still strong) rates
of growth: 20%, 15%, 10%, and 10%, in Year +2 through Year +5, respectively.
Given these assumptions, our revenue projections are presented in Exhibit 10.H.
