The Company reiterated its fiscal 2001 split-adjusted earnings per share target of $0.46, and announced the following revised fiscal 2001 goals:


  • The Company increased its fiscal 2001 global store openings target to 1,200 from the previously targeted 1,100 new stores. The Company now plans to open at least 500 company-operated locations and 400 licensed locations in Continental North America, and at least 100 company-operated and 200 licensed locations in International markets;
  • Due to current economic trends, strong fiscal 2000 double digit comparable store sales comparisons, and the August anniversary of its system-wide North America price increase, the Company adjusted its comparable store sales expectations to low single digits, with monthly anomalies, for the remainder of fiscal 2001;
  • In conjunction with revised comparable store sales expectations, the Company also adjusted its full year, total revenue growth target from 25 percent to 23-25 percent with a monthly total revenue growth range of 20-25 percent for the remainder of fiscal 2001.

“We are extremely pleased with our strong second quarter results,” said Orin Smith, Starbucks president and ceo. “We are on track to achieve our fiscal 2001 split-adjusted earnings per share target of $0.46 and are as enthusiastic as ever about the Company’s long term growth potential.”
