Strategic Rationale of Partnership Makes A Lot of Sense We believe with Anheuser-Buschs distribution strength,Starbucks will be able to expedite its plan to double its tea business to $2B by 2019 from ~$1B in FY15, especially given a potential halo effect we anticipate from the sale of Teavana at retail. Although this will beStarbucks’ first foray into retail with teas, the company is by no means a stranger to the channel as its coffees and Frappuccinos have been distributed at retail via a very successful partnership with PepsiCo (PEP). While some might questionStarbucks’ decision to partner withAnheuser-Busch vs PepsiCo, this makes sense to us givenPepsiCo is already bound to Unilever(UL)/Lipton on teas. Further, we believe this is a huge win forAnheuser-Busch given this partnership/opportunity fills a deep void theAnheuser-Busch distributors have had since losing the distribution of Monster Beverage (MNST) brands to Coca-Cola (KO). Ove rall, we believe this is a very powerful partnership between two formidable companies.
