Starbuck Financial Report Sources
"Starbucks 2019 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. In this summarized book, the author researched Starbucks 10k, Starbucks 2017 10k annual report, Starbucks 2016 10k annual report, Starbucks 2015 10k annual report, and Starbucks 2019 10k annual report as the basis for information gathering. Once all Starbucks 10k annual statements were collected, the author then inserted Starbucks income statement information and Starbucks balance sheet information into a customized financial template.
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 2015 to 2019, in most cases.
Revenue Growth: Starbucks' revenues ended in 2015 at $19.1 billion. In the next five years, the organization grew its revenues to 26.5 billion. This is an average growth rate of approximately 8.5%. However, the trend for the last couple of years seems to be a slowing of growth. In 2018, the growth rate was 10%, where 2019 only had a 7.2% growth rate. If this trend continues, this may indicate that the organization is either entering a mature phase of the business cycle or customers’ tastes are changing in the organization is not addressing this change adequately.
SG&A: The company’s SG&A, as a percentage of sales, ended in 2015 at 6.2%. However, in 2019, the percentage of sales for this line item grew to 6.9%. This indicates that the company is spending more money on overhead and advertising to generate fewer sales. An excellent practice to mitigate this problem would be to reduce overhead by streamlining headquarter operations.

Section 2: Starbucks Balance Sheet – Summary Analysis
For Starbuck's balance sheet, I again go through each important line item from the balance sheet. In reviewing each line item, I will define Starbuck's balance sheet line item, such as cash, property, plant and equipment, and liabilities between 2015 to 2019. Next, I then offer a summary analysis of Starbuck's important balance sheet line items.
Cash: Except for 2018, Starbucks seems to be maintaining about a 10% cash holding as compared to sales. If this strategy holds true, then this means that the firm has identified the optimal cash holding percentage to ensure adequate liquidity. From this, deviation from the 10% benchmark could be an indicator of strategy change. Another way of looking at this is that if the company changes strategies, then there may be external environmental variables for which the company may be contending.
Accounts Receivable: In the last five years, Starbucks has maintained an Accounts Receivable of approximately 3.5% of sales. In the last two years, their accounts receivables have declined slightly as compared to sales. This shows that the firm is either increasing their efficiency in collecting accounts receivables or they are tightening their credit policies for retailers.

Section 3: Starbucks Financial Ratio Summary From 2015 to 2019
For this section, I have chosen several different financial ratios to review for Starbuck's Inc from 2015 to 2019. In reviewing each of Starbuck's financial ratios, I first start with defining the financial ratio. Next, I supply the financial formula for calculating the specific ratio. Finally, I offer a brief analysis of Starbuck's important financial ratios.
Starbucks Current Ratio
Starbucks' current ratio ended in 2015 at 1.09. Since this ratio is above 1.0, the company is considered to have adequate liquidity for the next 12 months. However, in 2019, the current ratio fell to .92. In the world of finance, falling below the 1.0 mark is an indicator of potential financial difficulties.
Starbucks Total Asset Turnover
Starbucks ended 2018 with a 1.02 total asset turnover. This ratio is significantly lower than the 1.56 ratio in 2017. This shows that the firm underutilized assets under their control. However, in 2019, the total asset turnover increased to 1.38. If the company maintains this trend, then this shows that management is continually optimizing the usage of assets available. However, an inconsistent ratio may indicate that the company has no set strategy for the continued optimization of their assets.
Starbucks Return on Assets
Starbucks' return on assets ended 2015 at 22.2%. In the subsequent five years, the return on assets has fallen continuously to 18.7%. This shows that the firm is continually underutilizing assets under management control. To mitigate this problem, the organization showed liquidate underutilize fixed assets.
Starbucks Debt to Equity Ratio
In the last five years, the Starbucks debt to equity ratio has grown from 40% to -180%. This substantial increase in debt is partially attributed to the organization's strategic buyback of common stock.
