Dutch Bros CEO says company in 'growth mode' as Starbucks turnaround stokes beverage competition
Dutch Bros (BROS) is gaining from Starbucks' (SBUX) sluggish turnaround. In the most recent quarter, the rising coffee chain posted 6.1% same-store sales growth, an acceleration from the first quarter, as it opened 31 stores in 13 states. "We're in a great place from a value proposition standpoint ... the size of our drinks, the prices of our drinks, customers are feeling really good about what they're getting from Dutch Bros," CEO Christine Barone told Yahoo Finance. "We are in growth mode," Barone said. "In the next couple of years, you can expect a lot of growth out of us." The company has plans to open 2,029 stores by 2029, and currently operates more than 1,000 stores in 18 states. Dutch Bros stock has gained over 30% in 2025. "Dutch Bros' robust second quarter should dispel the narrative that a stabilizing competitor in Starbucks would eat into Dutch's momentum," William Blair analyst Sharon Zackfia wrote in a note to clients. Broader competition has also been heating up across the fast food space, with Yum Brands' (YUM) Taco Bell opening more of its Live Más Café concept stores and McDonald's (MCD) expanding its beverage menu. "We've been around since 1992, we grew up in the Pacific Northwest ... we are certainly no stranger to lots of competition," Barone said, adding, "There will always be new competitors coming into the market." Growth in the second quarter at Dutch Bros compares to six straight quarters of US same-store sales declines at Starbucks, which reported US sales fell another 2% in its latest quarter. "When you look at the same-store sales, plus the store growth, it's clear that Dutch Bros is gaining share from Starbucks," TD Cowen analyst Andrew Charles said. Starbucks CEO Brian Niccol, who was named CEO on Aug. 13, 2024, told Yahoo Finance last month that the company has "made progress" on its value proposition over the last three quarters, but needs to continue those efforts. On Tuesday, Baird analyst David Tarantino upgraded Starbucks to Outperform from Neutral as he expects "visibility" of its turnaround plan to "become increasingly clear over the next several quarters." Starbucks stock is up 2% this year. Brooke DiPalma is a senior reporter for Yahoo Finance.

The Top 5 Analyst Questions From Dutch Bros's Q2 Earnings Call
Dutch Bros delivered a strong second quarter, with management attributing performance to robust transaction-driving initiatives and heightened new shop productivity. Key factors included the success of limited-time menu innovations, effective brand-building through paid advertising, and an expanded Dutch Rewards loyalty program. CEO Christine Barone emphasized that transaction growth, particularly in new and existing markets, was primarily driven by coordinated efforts across innovation, advertising, and loyalty engagement, stating, 'These efforts translated into strong financial results in the second quarter.' Management also highlighted operational improvements, such as enhanced labor deployment and throughput-focused strategies, which contributed to elevated same-shop sales and margin expansion. Is now the time to buy BROS? Find out in our full research report (it's free). Dutch Bros (BROS) Q2 CY2025 Highlights: Revenue: $415.8 million vs analyst estimates of $403.5 million (28% year-on-year growth, 3.1% beat) Adjusted EPS: $0.26 vs analyst estimates of $0.18 (46.6% beat) Adjusted EBITDA: $89 million vs analyst estimates of $74.93 million (21.4% margin, 18.8% beat) The company lifted its revenue guidance for the full year to $1.60 billion at the midpoint from $1.57 billion, a 1.9% increase EBITDA guidance for the full year is $287.5 million at the midpoint, above analyst estimates of $274 million Operating Margin: 13.1%, up from 9.9% in the same quarter last year Locations: 1,043 at quarter end, up from 912 in the same quarter last year Same-Store Sales rose 6.1% year on year (4.1% in the same quarter last year) Market Capitalization: $8.74 billion While we enjoy listening to the management's commentary, our favorite part of earnings calls are the analyst questions. Those are unscripted and can often highlight topics that management teams would rather avoid or topics where the answer is complicated. Here is what has caught our attention. Our Top 5 Analyst Questions From Dutch Bros's Q2 Earnings Call Andy Barish (Jefferies) asked about the rollout strategy for the CPG line launching next year. CEO Christine Barone replied the rollout will prioritize markets with existing Dutch Bros shops, with phased expansion over 2026 based on retailer resets and operational readiness. Sharon Zackfia (William Blair) sought updates on throughput and labor deployment initiatives. Barone emphasized ongoing progress, noting new speed dashboards and training improvements are driving higher transaction volumes, especially during peak demand and promotional events. Hyun Jin Cho (Goldman Sachs) inquired about maintaining a competitive edge in beverage and food innovation. Barone described a data-driven approach combining customer panels, market testing, and segmented product launches to stay ahead of rivals in protein coffee and energy drinks. Logan Reich (RBC Capital Markets) questioned mobile order adoption trends. Barone explained mobile order mix is stable systemwide at 11.5%, with higher rates in new shops, and stressed the focus is on customer-driven adoption rather than aggressive promotion. David Tarantino (Baird) asked about the sustainability of marketing-driven transaction growth in Q3. CFO Josh Guenser said Q3 guidance incorporates a normalization of marketing activity, while Barone highlighted the importance of maintaining a balanced, unpredictable cadence for customer engagement. Catalysts in Upcoming Quarters Looking ahead, our analysts are focused on (1) the pace and productivity of new shop openings, especially in recently entered markets; (2) progress in scaling the food platform and its impact on morning transactions and ticket size; and (3) continued improvements in digital engagement, specifically the Dutch Rewards program's personalization efforts and order ahead functionality. Additionally, we will monitor how management manages cost pressures from commodity inflation and tariffs as the year progresses. Dutch Bros currently trades at $68.81, up from $57.79 just before the earnings. In the wake of this quarter, is it a buy or sell? The answer lies in our full research report (it's free).

Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the section 'Non-GAAP Financial Measures'. 3 We have not reconciled guidance for Adjusted EBITDA to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measure because we do not provide guidance for the various reconciling items. We are unable to provide guidance for these reconciling items because we cannot determine their probable significance, as certain items are outside of our control and cannot be reasonably predicted due to the fact that these items could vary significantly from period to period. Accordingly, reconciliation to the corresponding U.S. GAAP financial measure is not available without unreasonable effort.

AUVs are calculated by dividing the systemwide and company-operated shops net sales by the total number of systemwide and company-operated shops, respectively. Management uses these metrics as an indicator of shop growth and future expectations of mature locations. 2 Same shop sales represents the estimated percentage change in year-over-year sales for the comparable shop base, which we define as shops open for 15 complete months or longer as of the first day of the reporting period. Same shop sales can be impacted by changes in customer transaction counts and by changes in the per-ticket amounts. Management uses these metrics as an indicator of shop growth and future expansion strategy. The number of shops included in the systemwide and company-operated comparable bases for the respective periods are presented in the following table: Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 2024 2025 2024 3 Systemwide sales and systemwide same shop sales are operating measures that include sales at company-operated shops and sales at franchised shops during the comparable periods presented. Franchise sales represent sales at all franchise shops and are revenues to our franchisees. We do not record franchise sales as revenues; however, our royalty revenues and advertising fund contributions are calculated based on a percentage of franchise sales. As these metrics include sales reported to us by our non-consolidated franchise partners, these metrics should be considered as a supplement to, not a substitute for, our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Management uses these metrics as indicators of our system's overall financial health, growth and future expansion prospects. 4 Company-operated and franchise shops operating weeks are calculated based on the number of operating days for the shop base and dividing by 7. Our shop base is defined as shops opened as of the end date of the periods presented. The operating weeks calculations reflect re-acquired franchises through 2022. Management uses these metrics as indicators of our system's overall financial health, growth and future expansion prospects. 5 Dutch Rewards is our digitally-based rewards program available exclusively through the Dutch Rewards app. Management uses this metric as an indicator of customer loyalty adoption of our Dutch Rewards app and future promotional plans. 6 Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to non-GAAP results is provided in the section 'Non-GAAP Financial Measures'. Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to disclosing financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, this release contains references to the non-GAAP financial measures below. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide investors with useful supplemental information about our operating performance, enable comparison of financial trends and results between periods where certain items may vary independent of business performance, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in operating our business and measuring our performance. Our non-GAAP financial measures reflect adjustments based on one or more of the following items, as well as the related income tax effects where applicable. Income tax effects have been calculated based on the combined total non-GAAP adjustments using our total effective tax rate. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and the financial results calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated.

TRAs remeasurements (Gain) loss impacts related to adjustments of our TRAs liabilities. Sale of Aircraft Gain impact related to the sale of the Company airplane to our Co-Founder. Organization realignment and restructurings Fees and costs, including consulting, employee-related and other costs, in connection with our comprehensive initiatives to develop and implement a long-term strategy involving changes to our organizational structure to support our growth. Our 2024 initiative resulted in realignment activities that occurred in 2023, and restructuring activities to expand our support center operations in Phoenix, Arizona including the build out and move into our new office, that commenced in 2024, and were substantially completed in March 2025. The activities related to our 2025 initiative, which commenced in May 2025 and are expected to continue through at least the first half of 2026, primarily relate to relocation and streamlining of our remaining back-office operations to our new Phoenix, Arizona corporate headquarters. Given the magnitude and scope of these strategic initiatives, we do not expect such costs will recur in the foreseeable future, and do not consider such costs reflective of the ongoing costs necessary to operate our business.
