MILAN – Starbucks reported Tuesday its heaviest earnings-per-share loss in more than a decade, due to the devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the ensuing lockdowns that kept customers out of stores
The coffee chain on Tuesday reported a net loss of $678.4 million, or $0.58 per share, during its fiscal third quarter ended June 28, largely due to the negative impacts of the coronavirus. Starbucks revenue declined 38% from the same period in the prior year to $4.2 billion.
This compares to year-ago revenues of $6.82 billion. Global same-store sales — a key gauge of restaurant performance — fell 40 per cent in the quarter.
Still, the company’s earnings were somewhat ahead of what Wall Street had expected. Shares of the company rose more than 6% in extended trading.
