Net Earnings Attributable to Starbucks
The net earnings exhibit significant fluctuation over the periods analyzed. From 2005 to 2007, there was a steady increase from approximately $494 million to $673 million. A notable decline occurred in 2008 and 2009, reaching a low of about $8.3 million in 2013. From 2014 onwards, the net earnings generally recovered and showed an upward trend, peaking around $4.5 billion in 2019. However, a sharp decline to approximately $928 million was observed in 2020, likely due to extraordinary conditions, followed by a substantial rebound to around $4.2 billion in 2021. The earnings remained elevated but with some variability through 2024, ending at about $3.8 billion.
Shareholders’ Equity (Deficit)
The shareholders' equity shows a consistent increase from 2005 through 2012, rising from roughly $2.1 billion to over $5.1 billion. Starting in 2013, a reversal is apparent, with equity dropping sharply and even turning negative by 2019, reaching a deficit that widened to about negative $7.8 billion by 2022. Although a slight improvement is seen in 2023 and 2024, the equity remains significantly negative, indicating possible substantial losses, restructuring, or other balance sheet impacts that have eroded shareholders' equity.
Return on Equity (ROE)
ROE data is available for the early years up to 2014, displaying generally strong profitability. ROE ranged from approximately 12.7% in 2008 to a peak of over 52% in 2014, with sharp spikes in 2013 and 2014 to extremely high levels around 386%, reflecting anomalies in equity or earnings. The absence of ROE after 2014 likely corresponds with the presence of negative equity values, as ROE is less meaningful or undefined when shareholders' equity is negative.
Overall Insights
The financial data reveals growth in profitability and equity in the initial years, followed by periods of volatility and significant negative impacts on equity beginning after 2012. The net earnings pattern shows resilience with recovery following downturns, but the sharp negative shareholder equity points to underlying financial stresses or accounting factors that have heavily impacted the company’s balance sheet. The ROE initially indicates efficient utilization of equity to generate returns, but the later undefined values align with the negative equity, limiting this metric’s usefulness for recent years.
