Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Starbucks (SBUX) Q3 FY-25 (quarter ended 29-Jun-25) shows modest topline growth but sharp margin compression.

• Revenue: $9.46 bn, up 3.8 % YoY; nine-month revenue $27.62 bn, +1.9 %.
• Profitability: Operating income fell 38 % to $0.94 bn; net income down 47 % to $558 m; diluted EPS $0.49 vs $0.93.
• Drivers: Store operating costs +13.5 %, product & distribution +7.8 %, and a $20.8 m restructuring charge squeezed margins. YTD restructuring expense totals $137 m.
• Cash-flow: Operating cash flow $3.37 bn (-26 % YTD); capex $1.85 bn; free cash flow contracted to ≈$1.5 bn.
• Balance-sheet: Cash rose to $4.17 bn (from $3.29 bn) but inventories climbed 27 % to $2.26 bn. Total debt increased slightly to $17.32 bn and current maturities doubled to $2.75 bn. Shareholders’ equity remains a deficit of $7.69 bn.
• Capital return: Dividends of $2.08 bn paid YTD ($0.61 per share this quarter); no repurchases vs $1.27 bn prior-year.
• Other: Closed acquisition of UK licensee 23.5 Degrees, adding 113 company-operated stores; not material to consolidated results.

Overall, higher operating expenses and restructuring offset modest sales gains, driving a steep earnings decline.

Positive

• Revenue grew 3.8 % YoY, indicating underlying demand resilience.
• Cash & cash equivalents increased to $4.17 bn, bolstering liquidity.
• Interest expense YTD declined to $396.8 m from $422.0 m.

Negative

• Net earnings fell 47 % and EPS dropped to $0.49, reflecting severe margin contraction.
• Operating margin compressed to 9.9 % from 16.6 % YoY.
• Inventory rose 27 %, potentially signaling demand-supply imbalance.
• Shareholders’ equity remains negative at –$7.69 bn.
• Restructuring charges of $137 m YTD add to cost pressure.
• Free cash flow declined ~40 % and dividend payout consumes majority of FCF.

Insights

Equity Research Analyst

TL;DR – Revenue up slightly, but costs surged and EPS nearly halved; outlook appears pressured.

Earnings deterioration is pronounced: gross profit grew only 0.9 % while opex rose 11.8 %, cutting operating margin from 16.6 % to 9.9 %. Labor inflation and the $137 m restructuring program weigh on profitability. Inventory build suggests demand forecasting risk or holiday load-in. Cash balance improvement is debt-funded; leverage (total-debt/EBITDA trailing) trends higher and equity remains negative. Dividend coverage slips to 83 % of YTD free cash flow. Absence of buybacks conserves liquidity but signals management caution. Modest UK acquisition is strategic but immaterial. Without clearer margin recovery drivers, near-term earnings momentum is negative.

Portfolio Risk Manager

TL;DR – Rising costs, inventory and leverage elevate risk; cash cushion offsets near-term liquidity concerns.

Starbucks generated $3.37 bn in operating cash but required new long-term debt ($1.75 bn) to fund capex and dividends. Current debt maturities of $2.75 bn amplify refinancing needs amid higher rates. Shareholders’ deficit deepened, limiting balance-sheet flexibility. Hedging gains partially offset FX volatility, yet AOCI loss widened to $535 m. Key watch-points: restructuring execution, wage inflation trajectory and inventory normalization. On balance, filing is impactful negative for credit and equity risk.
