Yum! Brands Reports Third-Quarter Results

10% System Sales Growth Driven by 6% Same-Store Sales Growth and 6% Unit Growth;

12% GAAP Operating Profit Growth and 16% Core Operating Profit Growth

Louisville, KY (November 1, 2023) - Yum! Brands, Inc. (NYSE: YUM) today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023. Worldwide system sales, excluding foreign currency translation, grew 10%, with 6% same-store sales growth and 6% unit growth. Third-quarter GAAP operating profit grew 12% and third-quarter core operating profit grew 16%. Third-quarter GAAP EPS was $1.46 and third-quarter EPS excluding Special Items was $1.44. Third-quarter EPS includes a favorable $0.05 mark-to-market impact from the remeasurement of the Company's investment in Devyani International Ltd. and a negative $0.01 impact from foreign currency translation.

DAVID GIBBS COMMENTS

David Gibbs, CEO, said “We're incredibly pleased to report yet another excellent quarter with 10% system sales growth driven by 6% same-store sales growth and 6% unit growth with a Q3 record of over 1,100 gross new units. Our twin growth engines, KFC International and Taco Bell U.S., led the way, with KFC showing broad-based strength across both developed and emerging markets. With our strong year-to-date performance, we continue to expect that our full-year 2023 results will outperform on all aspects of our long-term growth algorithm. We set another digital sales record this quarter, with the next leg of our digital growth planned through enhancements of our customer insights platforms and expansions of our global loyalty programs. The exceptional performance of our teams and franchisees gives us confidence in sustaining our top and bottom line momentum in the years ahead.”

THIRD-QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

•Worldwide system sales grew 10%, excluding foreign currency translation, with KFC at 12%, Taco Bell at 11% and Pizza Hut 4%.

•Unit count increased 6% driven by 1,130 gross new units, a Q3 record.

•Record digital sales exceeded $7 billion, with digital mix over 45%.

•GAAP operating profit grew 12% and core operating profit grew 16%.

•Foreign currency translation unfavorably impacted divisional operating profit by $5 million.

All comparisons are versus the same period a year ago.

System sales growth figures exclude foreign currency translation ("F/X") and core operating profit growth figures exclude F/X and Special Items. Special Items are not allocated to any segment and therefore only impact worldwide GAAP results. See reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measurements to GAAP Results within this release for further details.

Digital system sales includes all transactions at system restaurants where consumers utilize ordering interaction that is primarily facilitated by automated technology.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measurements to GAAP Results

(amounts in millions, except per share amounts)

(unaudited)

In addition to the results provided in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America ("GAAP"), the Company provides the following non-GAAP measurements.

•Diluted Earnings Per Share ("EPS") excluding Special Items (as defined below);

•Effective Tax Rate excluding Special Items;

•Core Operating Profit. Core Operating Profit excludes Special Items and foreign currency translation (“F/X”) and we use Core Operating Profit for the purposes of evaluating performance internally;

•Company restaurant profit and Company restaurant margin as a percentage of sales (as defined below).

These non-GAAP measurements are not intended to replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP. Rather, the Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP measurements provide additional information to investors to facilitate the comparison of past and present operations.

Special Items are not included in any of our Division segment results as the Company does not believe they are indicative of our ongoing operations due to their size and/or nature. Our chief operating decision maker does not consider the impact of Special Items when assessing segment performance. The Special Items are described in (a) - (e) in the accompanying notes.

Company restaurant profit is defined as Company sales less Company restaurant expenses, both of which appear on the face of our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Company restaurant expenses include those expenses incurred directly by our Company-owned restaurants in generating Company sales, including cost of food and paper, cost of restaurant-level labor, rent, depreciation and amortization of restaurant-level assets and advertising expenses incurred by and on behalf of that Company restaurant. Company restaurant margin as a percentage of sales ("Company restaurant margin %") is defined as Company restaurant profit divided by Company sales. We use Company restaurant profit for the purposes of internally evaluating the performance of our Company-owned restaurants and we believe Company restaurant profit provides useful information to investors as to the profitability of our Company-owned restaurants. In calculating Company restaurant profit, the Company excludes revenues and expenses directly associated with our franchise operations as well as non-restaurant-level costs included in General and administrative expenses, some of which may support Company-owned restaurant operations. The Company also excludes restaurant-level asset impairment and closures expenses, which have historically not been significant, from the determination of Company restaurant profit as such expenses are not believed to be indicative of ongoing operations. Company restaurant profit and Company restaurant margin % as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies in the industry.

Certain non-GAAP measurements are presented excluding the impact of F/X. These amounts are derived by translating current year results at prior year average exchange rates. We believe the elimination of the F/X impact provides better year-to-year comparability without the distortion of foreign currency fluctuations.

and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

(amounts in millions)

(unaudited)

Amounts presented as of and for the quarters and years to date ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 are preliminary.

(a)Due to their size and volatility, we have reflected as Special Items those refranchising gains and losses that were recorded in connection with market-wide refranchisings.

(b)In the first quarter of 2022, as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, we suspended all investment and restaurant development in Russia. We also suspended all operations of our 70 company-owned KFC restaurants in Russia and began finalizing an agreement to suspend all Pizza Hut operations in Russia, in partnership with our master franchisee. Further, we pledged to redirect any future net profits attributable to Russia subsequent to the date of invasion to humanitarian efforts. During the second quarter of 2022, we completed the transfer of ownership of the Pizza Hut Russia business to a local operator. In the second quarter of 2023, we completed our exit from the Russia market by selling the KFC business in Russia.

Our GAAP operating results presented herein reflect revenues from and expenses to support the Russian operations for KFC and Pizza Hut prior to the dates of transfer or sale, within their historical financial statement line items and operating segments. However, given our decision to exit Russia and our pledge to direct any future net profits attributable to Russia subsequent to the date of invasion to humanitarian efforts, we reclassed such net operating profits or losses from the Division segment results in which they were earned to Unallocated Other income (expense). Additionally, we incurred certain expenses related to the dispositions of the businesses and other one-time costs related to our exit from Russia which we recorded within Corporate and unallocated G&A and Unallocated Franchise and property expenses. Also recorded in Unallocated Other income (expense) were foreign exchange impacts attributable to fluctuations in the value of the Russian ruble and income of $1 million and a charge of $3 million recorded during the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2023, respectively, as a result of the completion of the sale of the KFC Russia business. The resulting net Operating Profit of $2 million and net Operating Loss of $10 million for the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and net Operating Profit of $16 million and $37 million for the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2022, respectively, have been reflected as Special Items.

(c)We recorded charges of $3 million and $13 million during the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and $2 million and $3 million during the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2022, to General and administrative expenses related to a resource optimization program initiated in the third quarter of 2020. This program is part of our efforts to optimize our resources, reallocating them toward critical areas of the business that will drive future growth. Due to their scope and size, these charges have been reflected as Special Items.

(d)During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company redeemed $600 million aggregate principal amount of 7.75% YUM Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2025 (the "2025 Notes"). The redemption amount was equal to 103.875% of the $600 million aggregate principal amount redeemed, reflecting a $23 million "call premium". We recognized the call premium and the write-off of $5 million of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the 2025 Notes within Interest expense, net as a Special Item due to their size and the fact that the amounts are not indicative of our ongoing interest expense.

(e)The below table includes the detail of Special Items Tax (Benefit) Expense:

Quarter ended Year to date
9/30/23 9/30/22 9/30/23 9/30/22
Tax (Benefit) Expense on Special Items Operating Profit and Interest Expense $ $ 2 $ (2) $ 1
Tax (Benefit) Expense - Income tax impacts from decision to exit Russia (4) (2) (12) 69
Tax (Benefit) - U.S. foreign tax credit regulations issued in January 2022 (82)
Tax (Benefit) - Other Income tax impacts recorded as Special (22)
Special Items Tax (Benefit) Expense $ (4) $ $ (36) $ (12)

Tax (Benefit) Expense on Special Items Operating Profit and Interest Expense was determined by assessing the tax impact of each individual component within Special Items based upon the nature of the item and jurisdictional tax law.

Special Items Tax (Benefit) Expense includes $69 million of net tax expense recorded in the year to date ended September 30, 2022, resulting from the Company’s decision to exit KFC Russia. We remeasured and reassessed the need for a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in Switzerland due to the expected reduction in the tax basis of intellectual property rights associated with the loss of the Russian royalty income. In addition, we reassessed certain deferred tax liabilities associated with the Russia business given the expectation that the existing basis difference would reverse by way of sale.

Special Items Tax (Benefit) Expense includes a tax benefit discretely recorded in the year to date ended September 30, 2022 of $82 million, from the release of a valuation allowance on foreign tax credit carryforwards. Subsequent clarifying guidance from the U.S. Treasury resulted in the re-establishment of the valuation allowance in the quarter ended December 31, 2022.

Other Income Tax impacts recorded as Special in the year to date ended September 30, 2023 include benefits related to the reversal of a reserve due to the favorable resolution of a tax audit in a foreign jurisdiction. Such reserve was established in prior years related to deferred tax assets originally recorded as a Special Item as part of an intercompany restructuring of intellectual property. Other Income Tax impacts recorded as Special in the year to date ended September 30, 2023 also include the release of valuation allowances associated with a jurisdiction in which a market-wide refranchising event occurred.
