CAUTIONARY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF
1995
Certain statements set forth in or incorporated by reference into this
Annual Report on Form 10-K, including anticipated store and market openings,
planned capital expenditures and trends in or expectations regarding the
Company's operations, constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning
of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are
based on currently available operating , financial and competitive information
and are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Actual future results and
trends may differ materially depending on a variety of factors, including, but
not limited to, coffee and other raw materials prices and availability,
successful execution of internal performance and expansion plans, the impact of
competition, the effect of legal proceedings and other risks detailed herein.
PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General. Starbucks Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively
"Starbucks" or the "Company") purchases and roasts high quality whole bean
coffees and sells them, along with fresh, rich-brewed coffees, Italian-style
espresso beverages, cold blended beverages, a variety of pastries and
confections, coffee-related accessories and equipment, and a line of premium
teas, primarily through its Company-operated retail stores. In addition to sales
through its Company-operated retail stores, Starbucks sells coffee and tea
products through other channels of distribution (collectively, "specialty
operations"). Starbucks, through its joint venture partnerships, also produces
and sells bottled Frappuccino(R) coffee drink and a line of premium ice creams.
The Company's objective is to establish Starbucks as the most recognized and
respected brand in the world. To achieve this goal, the Company plans to
continue to rapidly expand its retail operations, grow its specialty operations
and selectively pursue other opportunities to leverage the Starbucks brand
through the introduction of new products and the development of new distribution
channels.
Company-Operated Retail Stores. The Company's retail goal is to become the
leading retailer and brand of coffee in each of its target markets by selling
the finest quality coffee and related products and by providing superior
customer service, thereby building a high degree of customer loyalty. Starbucks
strategy for expanding its retail business is to increase its market share in
existing markets and to open stores in new markets where the opportunity exists
to become the leading specialty coffee retailer. In furtherance of this
strategy, the Company opened 490 new stores during the fiscal year ended October
1, 2000 ("fiscal 2000"). At fiscal year end, Starbucks had 2,619
Company-operated stores in 34 states, the District of Columbia and five Canadian
provinces (which comprise the Company-operated North American retail
operations), as well as the United Kingdom, Thailand and Australia (which
comprise the Company-operated international retail operations). Company-operated
retail stores accounted for approximately 84% of net revenues during fiscal
2000. The Company intends to finance additional growth in the number of
Company-operated retail stores with cash flow from operations.
Starbucks retail stores are typically clustered in high-traffic,
high-visibility locations. Because the Company can vary the size and format of
its stores, Starbucks stores are located in a variety of settings, including
downtown and suburban retail centers, office buildings, supermarket foyers and
university campuses. While the Company selectively locates stores in suburban
malls, it focuses on stores that have convenient access for pedestrians and
drivers.
All Starbucks stores offer a choice of regular and decaffeinated coffee
beverages, including at least one "coffee of the day," a broad selection of
Italian-style espresso beverages, cold blended beverages, a selection of teas
and distinctively packaged, roasted whole bean coffees. Starbucks stores also
offer a selection of fresh pastries and other food items, sodas, juices, and
coffee-making equipment and accessories. Each Starbucks store varies its product
mix depending upon the size of the store and its location. Larger stores carry a
broad selection of the Company's whole bean coffees in various sizes and types
of packaging, as well as an assortment of coffee and espresso-making equipment
and accessories such as coffee grinders, coffee makers, espresso machines,
coffee filters, storage containers, travel tumblers and mugs. Smaller Starbucks
stores and kiosks typically sell a full line of coffee beverages, a more limited
selection of whole bean coffees and a few
1
<PAGE> 3
accessories such as travel tumblers and logo mugs. Approximately 15% of
Starbucks stores carry a selection of "grab and go" sandwiches and salads.
During fiscal 2000, the Company's retail sales mix by product type was
approximately 73% handcrafted beverages, 14% food items, 8% whole bean coffees,
and 5% coffee-making equipment and accessories.
Specialty Operations. Starbucks specialty operations strive to develop the
Starbucks brand outside the Company-operated retail store environment through a
number of channels. Starbucks strategy for expanding its specialty operations is
to reach customers where they work, travel, shop and dine by establishing
relationships with prominent third parties who share Starbucks values and
commitment to quality. These relationships take various forms, including retail
store licensing agreements, wholesale accounts, grocery channel licensing
agreements and joint ventures. Starbucks specialty operations also include
direct-to-consumer marketing channels. In certain licensing situations, the
licensee is a joint venture in which Starbucks has an equity ownership interest.
During fiscal 2000, specialty revenues (which include royalties and fees from
licensees as well as product sales) accounted for approximately 16% of the
Company's net revenues.
North American Retail Store Licensing. Although the Company does not
generally relinquish operational control of its retail stores in North
America, in situations in which a master concessionaire or another company
controls or can provide improved access to desirable retail space, the
Company may consider licensing its operations. As part of these
arrangements, Starbucks receives license fees and royalties and sells
coffee and related products for resale in the licensed locations. Employees
working in the licensed locations must follow Starbucks detailed
store-operating procedures and attend training classes similar to those
given to Starbucks store managers and employees. As of October 1, 2000, the
Company had 530 licensed stores in continental North America.
International Retail Store Licensing. Starbucks retail stores located
outside of North America, the United Kingdom, Thailand and Australia are
operated through a number of joint venture and licensing arrangements with
prominent retailers. During fiscal 2000, the Company expanded its
international presence by opening 184 new international licensed stores,
including the first stores in Lebanon, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar,
Hong Kong and Shanghai. At fiscal year end, the Company had 154 stores in
Japan, 47 in Taiwan, 28 in China, 28 in Singapore, 27 in the Philippines,
20 in Hawaii, 15 in New Zealand, 14 in Malaysia, six in South Korea, five
in the United Arab Emirates, four in Kuwait, three in Lebanon, and one in
Qatar.
Wholesale Accounts. Starbucks sells whole bean and ground coffees to
several types of wholesale accounts, including office coffee distributors
and institutional foodservice management companies that service business,
industry, education and healthcare accounts, and hotels, airlines and
restaurants.
Grocery Channel Licensing. In fiscal 1998, Starbucks entered into a
long-term licensing agreement with Kraft Foods, Inc. ("Kraft") to
accelerate the growth of the Starbucks brand into the grocery channel in
the United States. Pursuant to such agreement, Kraft manages all
distribution, marketing, advertising and promotions for Starbucks whole
bean and ground coffee in grocery, warehouse club and mass merchandise
stores. By the end of fiscal 2000, the Company's whole bean and ground
coffees were available throughout the United States in approximately 16,000
supermarkets.
Joint Ventures. The Company has two non-retail domestic 50-50 joint
ventures. The North American Coffee Partnership, a joint venture with the
Pepsi-Cola Company, a division of PepsiCo, Inc., was formed in fiscal 1994
to develop and distribute ready-to-drink coffee-based products. By the end
of fiscal 2000, the joint venture was distributing bottled Frappuccino
coffee drink to approximately 250,000 supermarkets, convenience and drug
stores and other locations throughout the United States and Canada. The
Company formed a joint venture with Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream, Inc. in
fiscal 1996 to develop and distribute Starbucks premium coffee ice creams.
By the end of fiscal 2000, the joint venture was distributing a variety of
ice cream and novelty products to over 21,000 supermarkets throughout the
United States. (See Note 6 to the Company's consolidated financial
statements, "Joint Ventures," incorporated by reference to the Company's
Fiscal 2000 Annual Report to Shareholders in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.)
2
<PAGE> 4
Direct-to-Consumer Marketing. The Company makes fresh Starbucks coffee
and coffee-related products conveniently available via mail order and
on-line. Starbucks publishes and distributes a mail order catalog that
offers its coffees, certain food items and select coffee-making equipment
and accessories, and the Company maintains a web site at www.starbucks.com
with an on-line store that allows customers to browse for and purchase
coffee, gifts and other items via the Internet. Management believes that
the Company's direct-to-consumer operations support its retail store
expansion into new markets and reinforce brand recognition in existing
markets.
Product Supply. Starbucks is committed to selling only the finest whole
bean coffees and coffee beverages. To ensure compliance with its rigorous coffee
standards, Starbucks controls it coffee purchasing, roasting and packaging, and
the distribution of coffee to its retail stores. The Company purchases green
coffee beans for its many blends and single origin coffees from coffee-producing
regions around the world and custom roasts them to its exacting standards.
The supply and price of coffee are subject to significant volatility.
Although most coffee trades in the commodity market, coffee of the quality
sought by the Company tends to trade on a negotiated basis at a substantial
premium above commodity coffee prices, depending upon the supply and demand at
the time of purchase. Supply and price can be affected by multiple factors in
the producing countries, including weather, political and economic conditions.
In addition, green coffee prices have been affected in the past, and may be
affected in the future, by the actions of certain organizations and associations
that have historically attempted to influence commodity prices of green coffee
through agreements establishing export quotas or restricting coffee supplies
worldwide.
The Company depends upon its relationship with outside trading companies
and exporters for its supply or green coffee. To secure an adequate supply and
to fix costs for future periods, the Company routinely enters into fixed-price
purchase commitments for future deliveries of coffee. As of October 1, 2000, the
Company had approximately $84 million in fixed-price purchase commitments which,
together with existing inventory, is expected to provide an adequate supply of
green coffee for the majority of fiscal 2001. The Company believes, based on
relationships established with its suppliers in the past, that the risk of
non-delivery on such purchase commitments is remote. There can be no assurance
that these activities will successfully protect the Company against the risks of
higher coffee prices or that such activities will not result in the Company
having to pay substantially more for its coffee supply than it would have been
required to pay absent such activities.
In addition to coffee, the Company also purchases significant amounts of
dairy products to support the needs of its retail stores. Fluid milk
requirements are purchased from local processors and distributors to ensure
quality and reliable service. Dairy prices vary throughout the year as supply
and demand fluctuate and are subject to additional changes due to government
regulations. The Company obtains competitive prices through a combination of
competitive bidding and negotiations with its suppliers.
The Company also purchases a broad range of paper and plastic products,
such as paper cups, plastic cold cups, hot cup lids, napkins, straws, shopping
bags and corrugated paper boxes from several companies to support the needs of
its retail stores as well as its manufacturing and distribution operations. The
cost of these materials are somewhat dependent upon commodity paper and plastic
resin costs, but the Company believes it mitigates the effect of short-term raw
material price increases through strategic relationships with key suppliers.
Products other than whole bean coffees and coffee beverages sold in
Starbucks retail stores are obtained through a number of different channels.
Specialty foods, such as fresh pastries and lunch items, are generally purchased
from both regional and local sources based on quality and price. Coffee-making
equipment, such as drip, vacuum and french press coffee makers, espresso
machines and coffee grinders, are generally purchased directly from their
manufacturers for resale. Coffee-related accessories, including items bearing
the Company's logos and trademarks, are produced and distributed through
contracts with a number of different vendors.
Competition. The Company's primary competitors for coffee beverage sales
are restaurants, coffee shops, and street carts. In almost all markets in which
the Company does business there are numerous
3
<PAGE> 5
competitors in the specialty coffee beverage business, and management expects
this to continue. Although competition in the beverage market is currently
fragmented, a major competitor with substantially greater financial, marketing
and operating resources than the Company could enter this market at any time and
compete directly against the Company.
The Company's whole bean coffees compete directly against specialty coffees
sold at retail through supermarkets, specialty retailers, and a growing number
of specialty coffee stores. Both the Company's whole bean coffees and its coffee
beverages compete indirectly against all other coffees on the market. The
Company believes that its customers choose among retailers primarily on the
basis of product quality, service and convenience, and, to a lesser extent, on
price.
Management believes that supermarkets are the most competitive distribution
channel for specialty whole bean coffee, in part because supermarkets offer
customers a variety of choices without having to make a separate trip to a
specialty coffee store. A number of nationwide coffee manufacturers are
distributing premium coffee products in supermarkets that may serve as
substitutes for the Company's coffees. Regional specialty coffee companies also
sell whole bean coffees in supermarkets.
In addition to the competition generated by supermarket sales of coffee,
Starbucks competes for whole bean coffee sales with franchise operators and
independent specialty coffee stores. In virtually every major metropolitan area
where Starbucks operates and expects to expand, there are local or regional
competitors with substantial market presence in the specialty coffee business.
Starbucks specialty operations also face significant competition from
established wholesale and mail order suppliers, some of whom have greater
financial and marketing resources than the Company.
In addition, the Company faces intense competition from both restaurants
and other specialty retailers for suitable sites for new stores and qualified
personnel to operate both new and existing stores. There can be no assurance
that Starbucks will be able to continue to secure adequate sites at acceptable
rent levels or that the Company will be able to attract a sufficient number of
qualified workers.
Patents, Trademarks, Copyrights and Domain Names. The Company owns and/or
has applied to register numerous trademarks and service marks in the United
States, Canada and in more than 125 additional countries throughout the world.
Rights to the trademarks and service marks in the United States are generally
held by Starbucks U.S. Brands Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company, and are used by the Company under license. Some of the Company's
trademarks, including "Starbucks," the Starbucks logo and "Frappuccino," are of
material importance to the Company. Trademarks are generally valid as long as
they are in use and/or their registrations are properly maintained, and they
have not been found to have become generic. Trademark registrations can
generally be renewed indefinitely so long as the marks are in use.
The Company also owns numerous copyrights for its product packaging,
promotional materials, in-store graphics and training materials, among other
things. The Company also holds patents on certain products, systems and designs.
In addition, the Company has registered and maintains numerous Internet domain
names, including "Starbucks.com" and "Starbucks.net." While valuable, individual
copyrights, patents and domain names currently held by the Company are not
viewed as material to the Company's business.
Research and Development. The Company's research and development efforts
are led by food scientists, engineers, chemists and culinarians in the Technical
Support Services and Development department who are responsible for the
technical development of food and beverage products and new equipment. Recent
development efforts have resulted in successful flavor line extensions for latte
beverages, Frappuccino blended beverages and new items for the Company's morning
pastry and lunch lines. The department also introduced improvements in base
ingredients to aid in the distribution of products to international markets and
formulation changes to tea-based beverages. The Company spent approximately $4.0
million during fiscal 2000 on technical research and development activities, in
addition to customary product testing and product and process improvements in
all areas of the Company's business.
Seasonality and Quarterly Results. The Company's business is subject to
seasonal fluctuations. Significant portions of the Company's net revenues and
profits are realized during the first quarter of the Company's fiscal year that
includes the December holiday season. In addition, quarterly results are
affected by the timing
4
<PAGE> 6
of the opening of new stores, and the Company's rapid growth may conceal the
impact of other seasonal influences. Because of the seasonality of the Company's
business, results for any quarter are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be achieved for the full fiscal year.
Employees. As of October 1, 2000, the Company employed approximately 47,000
individuals, approximately 43,000 in retail stores and regional offices and the
remainder in the Company's administrative, specialty, real estate, roasting, and
warehousing operations. At fiscal year end, employees at 12 of the Company's
stores and a group of maintenance mechanics and technicians at one roasting
plant were represented by unions. Starbucks has entered into a labor agreement
governing such stores that extends until July 2001 and is currently in
negotiations with the union representing the roasting plant employees. The
Company believes that its current relations with its employees are good.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Starbucks currently operates three roasting and distribution
facilities -- one in the Seattle, Washington area, one in East Manchester
Township, York County, Pennsylvania and a smaller facility in London, England.
In the Seattle area, the Company owns a roasting plant and distribution facility
of approximately 305,000 square feet and leases two warehouse facilities
totaling approximately 200,000 square feet in Kent, Washington (the "Kent
Plant"). The Company also owns a 365,000 square foot roasting and distribution
facility that it previously had leased in York County, Pennsylvania (the "York
Plant"). The Company has an option to purchase an additional parcel of land
adjacent to the York Plant until August 2001. In connection with the purchase of
the York Plant, the Company assumed loans totaling approximately $7.7 million
incurred in connection with its development. In addition, the Company leases a
small roasting and storage facility in London, England that supports its
operations in the United Kingdom. The lease for this facility expires in 2002
unless extended by the parties.
The Company leases approximately 510,000 square feet of a building located
in Seattle, Washington for administrative offices and has options to lease
approximately 40,000 additional square feet in such building. The Company also
leases approximately 38,000 square feet in a building in Seattle, Washington
pursuant to a lease extendable through June 2001 (the "Resource Center"). The
Company owns 2.36 acres (102,800 square feet) of undeveloped land near its
administrative offices and adjacent to the Resource Center, which is used for
parking.
As of October 1, 2000, Starbucks operated a total of 2,619 retail stores.
All Starbucks stores are located in leased premises. The Company also leases
space in approximately 75 additional locations for regional, district and other
administrative offices, training facilities and storage, not including certain
seasonal retail storage locations.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary
course of its business, but is not currently a party to any legal proceeding
which the Company believes will have a material adverse effect on the financial
position or results of operations of the Company.
