KEY POINTS

HIGH EXPECTATIONS FOR GROWTH IN FOOD SALES Two years ago the management of Starbucks set out big expectations for food sales in stores. So far they have delivered. How much more room is there to go? At the end of FY15 food was 19% of sales and the company has a goal of getting it to 25% over the next 4 years. We think that is going to be difficult to achieve and the contribution to growth will slow meaningfully over the next 12 months.

TECHNOLOGY DRIVING INCREMENTAL GROWTHLike the potential for incremental food sales, new technology is expected to drive incremental growth at Starbucks over the next four years. At the annual meeting the company unveiled some significant changes to the Starbucks app and the loyalty program. Will these changes continue to drive significant throughput or will it see incremental adoption slow? Importantly, 2Q16 results will tell us more about the potential for the new technology.

Since 2009, the margin expansion story at Starbucks has been extraordinary. Since the lows of 2009, on a trailing 12-months basis, operating margins have improved 1,301bps. Over the next 12 months margins are only estimated to improve 116bps. Over the last 12-months food comp growth represented ~31% of Americas total comp, average check accounted for 53.1% of the comp, if those slow incrementally, margin improvement will be difficult to achieve.

PERFECTION BUILT INTO THE PRICE

GLOBAL SAME-STORE SALES• 1Q16 was the 24th

consecutive quarter of comp growth of 5% or greater

• The consensus has clearly become accustom to expecting great results from Starbucks, and hence believes managements lofty projections for food sales in particular

• Looking out into 2019 consensus estimates are projecting SSS to be +4.7%, much of which is dependent on the growth of food to 25% of the business from its current 19% share

• We believe over the coming quarters we will see sequential slowing in food growth, although still positive it will not be going at the management projected rate

HEADED INTO A TOUGH STRETCH OF COMPS

GLOBAL TRAFFIC• Global traffic growth was

driven by a strong holiday season

• Introduced key product innovation, highlighted by the Holiday Spice Flat White and an expanded holiday food menu

• In 2Q16, SBUX will be going against their toughest comp in the last four quarters since 1Q14, and the Street is only modeling a 40bps decline sequentially, which still represents 50bps of expansion on the two year average

• Can SBUX continue to grow traffic at this rate globally, or will growth slow more than both management and consensus are thinking?

NO CONCEPT CAN PRICE AGGRESSIVELY FOREVER

GLOBAL AVERAGE CHECK

• Caffeine is an addiction, and with SBUX’s more affluent customer base, they likely have more pricing power than most companies

• But it gets to a point where fringe customers and non-everyday customers start drifting away due to rapid price escalation

• The fringe customers are SBUX’s opportunity for growth, and to the extent they are lost to local coffee shops or mainstream competitors that will inhibit growth

FOOD WILL NOT ADD THE INCREMENTAL GROWTH IN THE LONG RUN THAT IS EXPECTED

AMERICAS SAME-STORE SALES• The performance that

Starbucks has had is truly amazing, but not all great things last forever

• Core offerings in blended espresso and iced beverage platforms including the innovation in Teavana Shaken iced teas and cold brewed coffee were key contributors of growth driving 4 points of comp in the U.S. in 1Q16

• Food revenue was up 20%, contributing 3 points to the U.S. comp sales in 1Q16

• Food business grew in all dayparts, with Bistro Boxes up 65%

• The consensus is modeling stable 2-year trends

EMEA SAME-STORE SALES• “Dramatic decline in

consumer and tourist activity across many of Western Europe’s largest cities following the horrific November 15 terrorist attack in Paris.” were cited as a primary reason for the disappointing results

• EMEA ended the quarter with 71% of locations being licensed, up from 63% in 1Q15, which further reduces volatility in this market

• New markets for EMEA in 2016 include South Africa and Luxembourg

• There continues to be unrest in Europe, and companies such as SBUX are not immune to its affects

RETURNS WELL OFF THE PEAK

RETURN ON INCREMENTAL INVESTED CAPITAL• Quarterly price return is

equal to the trailing three months performance as of the date

• Notably, SBUX’s ROIIC is well off of its peak set in 2010, but has been steady as of late

• When compared to the previous chart, peak ROIIC coincides with a steep reduction in CAPEX

• Although everything seems fine now, could SBUX be putting too much capital in the ground? Are they becoming too mainstream and oversaturated?

STRAYING TOO FAR FROM THE COREFOCUS ON WHAT YOU DO BEST

DATA SOURCE: COMPANY FILINGS, HEDGEYE.

The first time Starbucks ran into trouble was from the dilution of the “Starbucks Experience” as it attempted to sell books, CDs and other items that did nothing more than confuse customers and slow service times. Once again, the company is putting the deliverability of the “Starbucks Experience” at risk in order to pursue growth by moving away from its core business:

• New store formats: Will not offer the “third place” experience.

• Teavana: Management had high expectations: “Like what Starbucks did to coffee 40 years ago, we think we can do in the tea category” Unfortunately that is not going to be the case.

• La Boulange: Management expectations again were very lofty: “Incredible opportunity to bring the artistry of the best French bakery product to the U.S. marketplace in a similar way that Starbucks brought the romance of the Italian espresso bar to many” Again, not much has changed!

• Alcohol: This rollout is nothing more than a distraction that will never amount to anything.

SBUX HAS DONE A GOOD JOB MANAGING THE MENU

MENU EFFECT ON COMP TRENDS

• In total SBUX has done a good job managing the menu complexity

• But it’s what they are doing within their different categories that has us scratching our heads

• Particularly the increase in food items on the menu in comparison to beverages

• SBUX is a coffee company, and we don’t believe they can shake that label, and they shouldn’t want to either

Capacity Constraints of Food at Starbucks• Most Starbucks locations are equipped with one or two Turbo Chef ovens to cook their hot food

items in

• SBUX faces a major capacity constraint as each oven can only cook one item at a time, with a panini taking about 1 minute 25 seconds and a breakfast sandwich taking about 1 minute 10 seconds, it makes it difficult to fulfill multiple orders in a timely manner

• If for instance 10 people in a row in line order a sandwich, the 10th person is likely to wait 5-10 minutes for their order to be filled, not exactly speed and convenience

Scott Maw, SBUX CFO at Goldman Sachs Global Retailing Conference on 9/10/15:“Tea is a drink that better attaches food, and so I think our up-leveled sandwich offering, some of the things we’ve done even with afternoon snacks, better goes with tea.”

IF THIS IS TRUE, WHY DID TEA MENU ITEMS DECREASE -26.7% YOY?• Additionally, they are making an effort to decrease their beverage count (a core competency) while simultaneously increases

their food offerings, a relatively weak segment for them compared to their quick service competition. This is especially concerning given the design of their restaurant and the ability to efficiently deliver these food items to the customer effectively.

• Food made up 19% of sales in 2015 at company operated stores, and yet it made up 41.7% of menu items in CY15, up from 34.7% the previous year.

• In 1Q16 Bistro Boxes were up 65%, while breakfast sandwiches were up roughly 40%, Bistro Boxes are driving the majority of the food comp (3% in 1Q16). Leading us to think that as they continue to add unhealthy items to the menu they will not see the same success overall.

— Kevin Johnson, SBUX COO during 1Q16 CC, “I think we certainly have dialed in in the morning daypart and what we’ve done to complement the food items with breakfast sandwiches, I think for lunch and afternoon daypart the Bistro Boxes and how we are dialing in there [has been successful]”

— The way we read this is that the Bistro Boxes far and away are what is driving lunch time food purchases, not the sandwiches that they have been adding to the menu (i.e. Ancho-Chipotle Chicken Panini).

• For instance their BBQ Beef Brisket sandwich which is still carried in some locations, has been discontinued at most as of January 1st and was replaced by the Ancho-Chipotle Chicken sandwich. From our research it is primarily southern stores that have discontinued it, most likely because SBUX knew they couldn’t compete with true southern BBQ.

• In a few slides we will take you through our survey work, which will further explain the dynamic between the Starbucks consumer and their opinion of the food at Starbucks, and why they are more focused on healthy food options.

SBUX FOOD SUPPLY CHAIN IS GETTING VERY COMPLEX

MULTIPLE RECALLS IN MARCH 2016 + PRODUCTS OUT OF STOCK

DATA SOURCE: COMPANY FILINGS, COMPANY MOBILE APP, HEDGEYE.

• If a restaurant wants to effectively grow its store base, or in SBUX’s case its food sales at its stores, it is imperative that they must have tight controls of their supply chain in order to ensure supply safety and availability.

• SBUX had two recalls in the month of March, they weren’t nationwide, much more localized, but it shows the challenges they have on the product coming into their store. What does it do to the brand image?

— One was a 250 location recall of egg sandwiches in TX, OK and AR.

— The other, a recall of a Cheese & Fruit Bistro Box in Washington state.

• Secondly, inventory controls also seem to be an issue. If you are going to offer a menu all day, you should be able to have all products in stock all day.

• In order for Starbucks to grow food sales from 20% of the business to 25% of the business, this is just one aspect that will need to be greatly refined.

Out of Stocks, Out of Control?

DRIVEN BY PRICE INCREASES

AVERAGE CHECK GROWTH• SBUX has seen an

acceleration in average check growth from 2013 to 2015

• While their coffee/Bakery competitors (Tim Horton’s, Krispy Kreme and Dunkin Donuts) saw a deceleration in growth from 2014 to 2015, led by discounting and less price taken

• Previous to 2015, the check gap between SBUX and its competition averaged $0.44 from 2010 to 2014, in 2015 the gap widened to $0.59. How long will that be sustainable?

COFFEE DRINKING TRENDSQUESTION: HOW OFTEN DO YOU DRINK COFFEE?

DATA SOURCE: CIVICSCIENCE. RESULTS FILTERED BY U.S. ADULTS 18+ AND WEIGHTED BY U.S. ADULTS. RESPONSES: 116,904.

Results

Quarterly Timeview

• Not surprisingly much of the U.S. Adults ages 18 and over are coffee drinkers, with 41% of them saying they drink it “every day, without fail.”

• In the last 15 quarters coffee drinking trends have been relatively stable overall

• But in 1Q16 we saw a slight diversion from historical averages, with answers of “every day, without fail” declining 300 basis points from 45% to 42%

• While people who say “I never drink coffee” spiked by 600bps from 17% to 23%

• Although this is a one quarter trend, we will be tracking it going forward to see if it continues, and if it does it will mean problems for more than just SBUX

OPINION OF STARBUCKSQUESTION: HOW MUCH DO YOU LIKE TO DRINK STARBUCKS COFFEE?

DATA SOURCE: CIVICSCIENCE, RESULTS FILTERED BY U.S. ADULTS 18+ AND WEIGHTED BY U.S. ADULTS. RESPONSES: 67,951.

Results

Quarterly Timeview

• From our survey and personal experience, Starbucks coffee has a more polarizing taste profile than other coffee retailers

• For instance we asked the same question about Dunkin’ Donuts and their ‘I Don’t really have a strong opinion’ was 41% of the vote, 14 points above Starbucks

• You can see this trend of polarization becoming more pronounced over time

• Answers for ‘I don’t like it’ have increased 500bps since 3Q14,

• Answers for ‘I love it’ have decreased 600bps since 2Q14

• As competition continues to intensify the casual consumer may start drifting further away from Starbucks

MILLENNIAL INTEREST IN STARBUCKS COFFEE IS SLIPPING

OPINION OF STARBUCKS (CONT’D)• As millennials have shown

they are shifting away from coffee, we are also seeing them shift away from Starbucks

• Millennials saying “I don’t like it” are off their 2013 highs, but up sequentially from 2014 from 29.6% to 32.1%

• Millennials saying “I like it” are down 210bps from 2013 highs of 27.8% to 2015 levels of 25.7%

• As millennials become a larger part of the workforce, their opinion of Starbucks will matter more to the brand, the current trends do not bode well for Starbucks

QUESTION: HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE FOOD ITEMS AT STARBUCKS (NOT INCLUDING COFFEE AND OTHER DRINKS)?

FOOD SURVEY RESULTS

• We asked ~2,400 people this question, and the results shook out how we expected…

• Many of Starbucks’ customers are not buying their food, and although this presents a large opportunity for them, we believe it shines a light on a weakness

• Roughly half of the regular Starbucks customers are not interested in Starbucks’ food as they only purchase beverages

• It is most likely the Millennial women thinking the food is better, given that 9.9% of adult women thought the food has improved in the last year, versus just 8.1% for adult men

• Loss of millennials poses the biggest risk to Starbucks given the deterioration Starbucks is seeing in that demographic (see slide 57)

• Unfortunately for Starbucks, although women dominate the category of thinking the food is better, they are also the majority when it comes to Starbucks customers that never eat the food, 56% versus 44% male

WHY CHANGE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL LOYALTY PROGRAM

LOYALTY

• On February 22, 2016, SBUX held a conference call to run through the upcoming changes to their successful loyalty program

• The changes come at an interesting time, given they have one of the most successful loyalty programs in the restaurant industry

DATA SOURCE: COMPANY FILINGS, HEDGEYE ESTIMATES.

Loyalty Quick Stats• SBUX currently has over 11 million active loyalty

members• Members spend 3x what non-members spend

Loyalty Math

New Rewards Debit Card

• Management described the changes in the loyalty program as the most requested thing by members

• They went on to say that it would negatively affect a small minority of members

• If you run the math a person that orders a grandebrewed coffee ($2.25) would now need to visit SBUX more than twice as much (28 times to be exact) to get the same reward as under the previous program, which was rewarded after 12 visits

• The real question is, how desperate are people for Starbucks rewards, will the lure of more stars, and the possibility of spending them on other companies such as Lyft and Spotify drive people to buy the food?

• During the recent analyst day, SBUX management also announced a new pre-paid debit rewards card, which seems counter intuitive to their push towards mobile order & pay

STRONG TAILWIND FOR THE COMPANY

MOBILE ORDER & PAY (MOP)

• Launched Mobile Order & Pay nationally to company-operated stores in September 2015

• Customer Issues:

• Using rewards on the app

• Finding and switching locations when ordering

• Overall, the app has positive reviews from users and employees alike

DATA SOURCE: COMPANY FILINGS, COMPANY MOBILE APP.

• In 1Q16 21% of total U.S. transactions were paid using the mobile apps, with December accelerating to 22%

• Over 1 million customers in the U.S. used MOP in December, and each of those customers averaged approximately five mobile orders in the month

• SBUX is processing 6 million MOP transactions per month

• As this initiatives gets older, the rate at which it continues to grow will be vital to the story

HOW LOW CAN IT GO?

SBUX COST OF SALES• Cost of sales as a percent

of sales was down -78bps in 1Q16, and is down -166bps over the last two years

• COGS as a percent of sales has been in decline since 4Q12, averaging a -95bps decline per quarter YoY

• Going forward consensus estimates are projecting continued declines, albeit it, at a more modest pace, of -50bps in 2Q16

• How low can it go? They do have a deflationary commodity market on their side, but this has to level out
