Starbucks Corporation (SBUX Quick QuoteSBUX - Free Report) released first-quarter fiscal 2022 results on Feb 1, after market close. The company’s earnings missed estimates while revenues surpassed the same. However, the metrics rose year over year despite the pandemic. Shares of Starbucks have declined about 1% since the earnings release.

Earnings in Detail

Starbucks reported adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of 72 cents, lagging the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 80 cents. In the prior-year quarter, the company had reported adjusted earnings of 61 cents per share. Revenues rose nearly 19.3% year over year to around $8.05 billion and surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $8 billion. The upside was largely supported by strength in comparable-store sales backed by the lapping of business disruption in the prior year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Also, the solid performance of new U.S. company-operated stores (part of the North America Trade Area Transformation initiative) provided support.

Business Update

Starbucks opened 484 net new stores worldwide in the fiscal first quarter, taking the total tally to 34,317. Global store growth was 4% on a year-over-year basis.

Meanwhile, global comparable-store sales rose 13% year over year. Global comps improved on a 10% increase in comparable transactions along with a 6% rise in average ticket.

The company’s Active Starbucks Rewards loyalty program expanded to 26.4 million active members in the United States, up 21% on a year-over-year basis.

Guidance

Starbucks expects global comparable sales to reach high-single digits in fiscal 2022. The company projects to open around 2,000 net new stores globally in fiscal 2022, up from 1,173 store openings reported in fiscal 2021. Consolidated revenues for fiscal 2022 are expected between $32.5 billion and $33 billion.

For fiscal 2022, the company anticipates non-GAAP EPS growth in the range of 8-10% from the base of $3.10 in fiscal 2021 (the figure is adjusted for non-GAAP treatment of certain integration costs and excludes the involvement of an extra week).
