Yum! Brands Reports Third-Quarter Results

10% System Sales Growth Excluding Russia Impact;

Led by 5% Same-Store Sales Growth with 979 Gross Unit Openings

Louisville, KY (November 2, 2022) - Yum! Brands, Inc. (NYSE: YUM) today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022. Worldwide system sales excluding foreign currency translation grew 7%, with 5% same-store sales growth and 4% unit growth. Third quarter GAAP operating profit grew 4%. Third quarter core operating profit grew 8% including a 3-point headwind from Russia. Third quarter GAAP EPS was $1.14 and third quarter EPS excluding Special Items was $1.09. Our year-over-year EPS excluding Special Items results reflect a $0.23 negative impact from a higher current year tax rate, lower investment gains and the removal of Russia-based profits. Foreign currency translation also unfavorably impacted our EPS by $0.10.

DAVID GIBBS COMMENTS

David Gibbs, CEO, said “I’m pleased to report another strong quarter for Yum!, with system sales growth of 10% excluding Russia, driven by strong demand for our iconic brands, increased digital adoption and continued momentum on unit development. Our three global brands delivered widespread system sales growth, once again demonstrating that our globally diversified business, led by our world-class teams and franchisees, can thrive in any environment.”

RUSSIA UPDATE

•As previously announced, Yum! entered into a sale and purchase agreement to transfer ownership of our Russian KFC restaurants, operating system and master franchise rights, including the network of KFC franchised restaurants, to Smart Service Ltd., a business operated by one of our existing KFC franchisees in Russia. Under the agreement, the buyer will be responsible for rebranding locations to a non-Yum! concept and retaining employees in Russia. Completion of the transaction is subject to regulatory and governmental approvals, as well as other conditions. Following the completion of the transaction, we will have ceased our corporate presence in Russia.

•As of the beginning of the second quarter, we elected to remove Russia from our unit count and system sales, negatively impacting those key performance metrics as presented in our THIRD-QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS section and the remainder of this release.

•Removing Russia from our prior year base, key performance metrics would have been as follows:

Key Performance Metrics Adjusted for Russia % Change
System Sales <br>Ex F/X Units
KFC Division +12 +7
Worldwide +10 +6

THIRD-QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

•Worldwide system sales grew 7%, excluding foreign currency translation, with KFC at 8%, Taco Bell at 9% and Pizza Hut 4%.

•We added 979 gross units during the third quarter resulting in 644 net-new units.

•Russia units are excluded from our same-store sales results for the quarter.

•Reported digital sales of approximately $6 billion, with digital mix exceeding 40%.

•Foreign currency translation unfavorably impacted divisional operating profit by $39 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 in our Condensed Consolidated Summary of Results for further details.

Digital system sales includes all transactions where consumers at system restaurants 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) - (h) 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.

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 September 30, 2022 and 2021 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 our previously announced plans to have at least 98% franchise restaurant ownership by the end of 2018. As such, refranchising gains and losses recorded during 2022 and 2021 as Special Items are directly associated with restaurants that were refranchised prior to the end of 2018.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, we recorded net refranchising gains of $1 million that have been reflected as Special Items. During the years to date ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recorded net refranchising gains of $5 million and $4 million, respectively, that have been reflected as Special Items.

Additionally, we recorded net refranchising gains of $2 million and net refranchising losses of $1 million during the quarters ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, that have not been reflected as Special Items. During the years to date ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we recorded net refranchising gains of $10 million and $17 million, respectively, that have not been reflected as Special Items. These net refranchising gains and losses relate to refranchising of restaurants in 2022 and 2021 that were not part of our aforementioned plans to achieve 98% franchise ownership and that we believe are now more indicative of our expected ongoing refranchising activity.

(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 to humanitarian efforts. During the second quarter, we completed the transfer of ownership of the Pizza Hut business to a local operator who has initiated the process of re-branding locations to a non-YUM concept. In October 2022, we announced that we have entered into a sale and purchase agreement to transfer ownership of our Russia KFC restaurants, operating system and master franchise rights, including the network of franchised restaurants, to Smart Service Ltd., a business operated by one of our existing KFC franchisees in Russia. Under the agreement, the buyer will be responsible for rebranding locations to a non-YUM concept and retaining employees in Russia. Completion of the transaction is subject to regulatory and governmental approvals, as well as other conditions agreed to by the parties. Following the completion of the transaction, we will have ceased our corporate presence in Russia.

Our GAAP operating results continue to reflect royalty revenues and expenses to support the Russian operations for Pizza Hut prior to the date of transfer and for KFC for the entire quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2022 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 have reclassed such net profits from the Division segment results in which they were earned to Corporate and unallocated. Additionally, we have incurred certain expenses related to the transfer of the businesses and other one-time costs related to our exit from Russia which we have recorded within Corporate and unallocated. The resulting net Operating Profit within Corporate and unallocated of $16 million and $37 million for the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2022, respectively, has been reflected as a Special Item as the amounts are not indicative of our ongoing results.

(c)During the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2022, we recorded charges of $1 million to General and administrative expenses and $1 million to Other (income) expense related to a resource optimization program initiated in the third quarter of 2020. During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a charge of $4 million to General and administrative expenses related to the program. During the year to date ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a charge of $7 million to General and administrative and a credit of $1 million to Other pension (income) expense related to the program. This program is part of our efforts to optimize our resources, reallocating them toward critical areas of the business that will drive future growth. These critical areas include accelerating our digital, technology and innovation capabilities to deliver a modern, world-class team member and customer experience and improve unit economics. Due to the size and scope of the resource optimization program, 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.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, certain subsidiaries of the Company redeemed $1,050 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% Subsidiary Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2026 (the “2026 Notes”). The redemption amount was equal to 102.625% of the $1,050 million aggregate principal amount redeemed, reflecting a $28 million “call premium”. We recognized the call premium and the write-off of $6 million of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the 2026 Notes within Interest expense, net.

Due to their collective size and the fact that the amounts are not indicative of our ongoing interest expense, we reflected these charges as Special Items.

(e)    Tax (Expense) Benefit on Special Items was determined based upon the impact of the nature, as well as the jurisdiction of the respective individual components within Special Items. Additionally, during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, we recorded as a Special Item a $10 million tax benefit related to prior refranchisings for which the associated pre-tax gain or loss was recorded as Special.

(f)    During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the United Kingdom (“UK”) Finance Act 2021 was enacted resulting in an increase in the UK corporate income tax rate from 19% to 25%. As a result, in the quarter ended June 30, 2021, we remeasured the deferred tax assets originally recorded as a Special Item as part of a fourth quarter 2019 intercompany restructuring of intellectual property (“IP”) rights into the UK, which resulted in the recognition of an additional $64 million deferred tax benefit as a Special Item.

In July 2021, we concentrated management responsibility for European (excluding the UK) KFC franchise development, support operations and management oversight in Switzerland. Concurrent with this change in management responsibility, we completed intra-entity transfers of certain KFC IP rights from subsidiaries in the UK to subsidiaries in Switzerland. With the transfer of these rights, we received a step-up in amortizable tax basis to current fair value under applicable Swiss tax law. As a result of this transfer, we recorded a net, one-time benefit of $152 million as a Special Item in the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

(g)    In January 2022, the U.S. Treasury published new regulations impacting foreign tax credit utilization beginning in the Company’s 2022 tax year. These regulations make foreign taxes paid to certain countries no longer creditable in the U.S. As a result, we reversed a valuation allowance associated with existing foreign tax credit carryforwards that we now believe will be used to offset these now non-creditable taxes in 2022 and future years. This valuation allowance reversal resulted in a one-time tax benefit of $82 million in the year to date ended September 30, 2022 that was reflected as a Special Item.

(h)    Our decision to exit the Russia market is anticipated to result in a reduction in the tax basis of IP rights held in Switzerland due to the expected loss of the associated Russian royalty income associated with such rights going forward. As a result, we have remeasured and reassessed the need for a valuation allowance on those deferred tax assets. In addition, we have reassessed certain deferred tax liabilities associated with the Russia business given the expectation that the existing basis difference will now reverse by way of sale. Primarily as a result of these items, we recorded a net tax benefit of $2 million and net tax expense of $69 million in the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2022, respectively, that were reflected as Special Items.
