Starbuck Financial Report Sources
"Starbucks 2020 Financial Statements and Financial Ratios: Defined, Discussed, and Analyzed for 5 Years” was written by, Paul Borosky, MBA., doctoral candidate, and owner of Quality Business Plan.

Section 1: Starbucks’s Income Statement – Summary Analysis
In this section, I walk through a broad definition as to what an income statement is and why it is important. From this, I then discuss and define income statement line items, such as revenues, gross profits, etc. in detail. After each line item is defined and discussed, I finally offer a summary analysis of Starbuck's important income statement line item trends from 2016 to 2020, in most cases.

Revenue Growth:
Starbucks ended 2016 with approximately $21.3 billion in sales. In the next three years, the organization would substantially increase its revenues ending 2019 with approximately $26.5 billion in sales. Unfortunately, Starbucks' revenues would drop in 2020 to $23.5 billion. A driving reason for the decrease in revenues would be the Covid 19 pandemic.
SG&A:
Starbucks SG&A ended 2016 at $1.4 billion. In the next three years, the organization would increase its SG&A to $1.8 billion in 2019. Fortunately, the organization would lower its overhead costs to $1.6 billion in 2020. The shift from trend increases in SG&A to decreasing indicates that the organization is either better aligning their fixed costs with revenues. Or, the organization is anticipating slower revenue growth in the future, and they are taking preemptive steps to ensure optimal use of their scarce resources through fixed costs reductions.
