Yum! Brands Reports Second-Quarter Results

KFC International Unit Growth 7% and Taco Bell Same-Store Sales Growth 4%;

Over $9 Billion Digital System Sales with Record 57% Digital Sales Mix

Louisville, KY (August 5, 2025) - Yum! Brands, Inc. (NYSE: YUM) today reported results for the second quarter ending June 30, 2025. Second-quarter GAAP EPS was $1.33 and second-quarter EPS excluding Special Items was $1.44, a 7% increase year-over-year.

DAVID GIBBS COMMENTS

David Gibbs, CEO, said "Our second-quarter results are a testament to the power of our bold food innovation, digital transformation, and the strength of our iconic brands. Taco Bell U.S. meaningfully outpaced the category with 4% same-store sales growth, and KFC International opened 565 gross new units. I am confident that with our strong development across the system, improving value propositions, and exciting new uses of our proprietary, integrated tech stack, Yum! is well positioned to win in an ever-changing consumer landscape. As I reflect on my incredible 36-year journey with Yum!, it’s been a joy to bring our iconic brands to consumers around the world in collaboration with our world-class franchise partners and team members. Yum! is in an enviable position with the very best talent and leaders in this industry at the helm of our global brands. I couldn’t be more confident passing the torch to Chris Turner, whose deep understanding of our business and bold vision will continue to propel Yum! forward."

RECENT STRATEGIC ANNOUNCEMENTS

David will serve as an adviser to the Company until the end of 2026 to ensure a seamless transition. Chris has served as Chief Financial Officer since 2019 and expanded his role to include Chief Franchise Officer in 2024. During his time at Yum!, Chris has been instrumental in driving bold actions including transforming the digital and technology organization, launching Byte by Yum!, centralizing Yum!'s global supply chain, and driving ideation for new, bold concepts within our portfolio.

•On June 26th, Taco Bell announced plans to scale its innovative beverage concept Live Más Café to 30 locations by the end of 2025. The concept offers over 30 signature beverages, from Churro Chillers and specialty coffees to Refrescas and Dirty Mountain Dew® Baja Blast® Dream Sodas. This launch is part of the brand’s long-term beverage strategy to reach $5 billion in beverage sales by 2030.

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;

•Net Income, excluding Special Items;

•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. Further, while we generally include depreciation and amortization of restaurant-level assets within Divisional Company restaurant expenses used to derive Divisional Company restaurant profit, we record amortization of reacquired franchise rights arising from acquisition accounting within Corporate and Unallocated Company restaurant expenses as such amortization is not believed to be indicative of ongoing Divisional results as well as to enhance the comparability of acquired stores' margins with those of existing restaurants for which reacquired franchise rights are not applicable. 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.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Summary of Results, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets

and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

(amounts in millions)

(unaudited)

Amounts presented as of and for the quarters and years to date ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are preliminary.

In the first quarter of 2025, the Company prospectively changed its basis of presentation to round financial figures in the Condensed Consolidated Summary of Results, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow and as presented in the tabular presentations in these Notes to the nearest whole number in millions in all instances. As a result, some totals and percentages may not recompute based on rounded figures as presented within the Condensed Consolidated Summary of Results, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow and these Notes. Previously, amounts were presented to ensure that all numbers herein recomputed, resulting in the presentation of certain figures inconsistent with their underlying rounding.

(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)We recorded charges of $14 million and $32 million during the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and $25 million and $46 million during the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2024, respectively, to General and administrative expenses related to a resource optimization program. Over the past several years, this program has allowed us to reallocate significant resources to accelerate our digital, technology and innovation capabilities to deliver a modern, world-class team member and customer experience and improve unit economics. During 2024, we expanded the program to identify further opportunities to optimize the Company’s spending and identify additional, critical areas in which to potentially reallocate resources, both with a goal to enable the acceleration of the Company’s growth rate. Costs incurred to date related to the program primarily include severance associated with positions that have been eliminated or relocated and consultant fees. Due to their scope and size, these charges have been reflected as Special Items.

(c)During the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2025, we recorded charges of approximately $10 million and $17 million, respectively, to General and administrative expenses associated with our decision to designate two brand headquarters in the U.S., located in Plano, Texas and Irvine, California, to foster greater collaboration among brands and employees. This involved relocating the KFC U.S. corporate office to the KFC Global headquarters and requiring the majority of our U.S.-based remote employees to relocate to an appropriate headquarter office. Costs incurred to date primarily include severance for employees who have chosen not to relocate and consultant fees. Due to their scope and size, these charges have been reflected as Special Items.

(d)On January 8, 2025, we terminated our franchise agreements with franchisee IS Gida A.S. (IS Gida), the owner and operator of KFC and Pizza Hut restaurants in Turkey and a subsidiary of IS Holding A.S. (IS Holding), after failure by IS Gida to meet our standards. As a result, 283 KFC restaurants and 254 Pizza Hut restaurants in Turkey were closed during the first quarter of 2025. We also re-acquired the master franchise rights in Germany for KFC and Pizza Hut from the owner of IS Holding in December 2024. We recorded charges of $5 million and $7 million during the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2025, respectively, to Corporate and unallocated General and administrative expenses consisting primarily of costs associated with re-acquiring the master franchise rights in Germany including severance. Consistent with prior charges related to the matter, these charges have been reflected as Special Items.

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

Quarter ended Year to date
6/30/25 6/30/24 6/30/25 6/30/24
Tax (Benefit) on Special Items Expense $ (7) $ (7) $ (14) $ (13)
Tax Expense - Foreign tax audit 10 102
Tax (Benefit) - Other Income tax impacts recorded as Special (4)
Special Items Tax Expense (Benefit) $ 3 $ (7) $ 88 $ (17)

Tax Benefit on Special Items 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.

Tax Expense - Foreign tax audit in the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2025 reflects a reserve, including the ongoing foreign exchange and inflationary adjustments, associated with a change in management's judgement around a Mexican subsidiary's ability to utilize losses to offset recapture gains triggered by a historical tax deconsolidation in Mexico.

Other Income tax impacts recorded as Special in the year to date ended June 30, 2024 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 income tax liabilities originally recorded as a Special Item as part of an intercompany restructuring of intellectual property.
