What are we trying to achieve in High
Street Equity?
 Own a diversified portfolio of predominantly franchise quality
companies
 High ROCE
 Recognisable brands
 Scale / scalable business models
 Pricing power
 Easy to understand business models
 Not aiming to take high risk bets, but will own an element of “off
the radar” stocks which can add alpha
 eg. Pandora A/S – up 230% on our purchase price over 2 ½ years
14
Significantly better quality businesses, at a
similar earnings multiple

We have liked Starbucks for over two
 > high teens
years now…
EPS growth
 Exceptional
ROCE
 Optionality in
certain lowprofit regions
 Reasonable
valuation
considering
the growth
rate
17
Starbucks has handsomely outperformed
the S&P500 – where to from here?
SBUX:
+85%
S&P:
+35%
18
Valuation: Starbucks trailing P/E multiple –
approaching high levels again
We previously
switched into
CAKE here
19
Starbucks P/E relative to MSCI World – this
has always been a premium rated stock
20
1) Same-store sales economics are
exceptional
 Sticky customer base – 9 million rewards card members; 33% of
transactions on a Starbucks card
21
2) Starbucks has the opportunity to broaden
its appeal into additional mealtimes in the
US
Source: Starbucks
22
3) Starbucks still has a strong pipeline of
store growth
 1,650 net new stores in FY15 (+8%); half in China/Asia Pac
 30k+ stores over next 5 years (+7% CAGR)
Source: Starbucks
23
4) New categories – Tea(vana)
Source: Starbucks
24
5) Evolving revenue mix is positive for margins
 Franchise margins >30%; 15-20% of earnings. Franchise =
23% of revenue in China / Asia Pac
 McDonalds: franchise = 34% of revenue; group EBIT margin:
29%
 Big cost lever to pull - $1bn of COGS saving; 33% of profit
25
What if Starbucks was as penetrated in China
as it is in the United States?
 4,000 stores
 An extra $1.3bn of group revenue;
$350m profit
 15% boost to current group profit –
without any growth from rest of the
group
 5 year group targets: double store
base, treble operating income =>
adds 5% points to group EBIT
growth annually
26
6) Starbucks should sustainably grow much faster
than the market, unwinding its premium rating
27
7) QSR is a highly-valued sector, but Starbucks is
one of the better businesses
Starbucks trades at a 20% premium
to average of sector…
…while the group’s ROE is almost
double the average
