NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(Tabular amounts in millions, except per share data)
Note 1 - Financial Statement Presentation
We have prepared our accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“Financial Statements”) in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. Therefore, we suggest that the accompanying Financial Statements be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 (“2020 Form 10-K”).
Yum! Brands, Inc. and its Subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as the “Company,” “YUM,” “we,” “us” or “our”) franchise or operate a system of over 51,000 restaurants in more than 150 countries and territories. As of June 30, 2021, 98 % of these restaurants were owned and operated by franchisees. The Company’s KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell brands are global leaders of the chicken, pizza and Mexican-style food categories, respectively. The Habit Burger Grill, a concept we acquired on March 18, 2020, is a fast-casual restaurant concept specializing in made-to-order chargrilled burgers, sandwiches and more.
As of June 30, 2021, YUM consisted of four operating segments:
•The KFC Division which includes our worldwide operations of the KFC concept
•The Pizza Hut Division which includes our worldwide operations of the Pizza Hut concept
•The Taco Bell Division which includes our worldwide operations of the Taco Bell concept
•The Habit Burger Grill Division which includes our worldwide operations of the Habit Burger Grill concept
YUM's fiscal year begins on January 1 and ends December 31 of each year, with each quarter comprised of three months. The majority of our U.S. subsidiaries and certain international subsidiaries operate on a weekly periodic calendar where the first three quarters of each fiscal year consists of 12 weeks and the fourth quarter consists of 16 weeks in fiscal years with 52 weeks and 17 weeks in fiscal years with 53 weeks. Our remaining international subsidiaries operate on a monthly calendar similar to that on which YUM operates. Our Habit Burger Grill Division operates on a weekly periodic calendar where each quarter consists of 13 weeks, except in fiscal years with 53 weeks when the fourth quarter consists of 14 weeks.
Our preparation of the accompanying Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
The accompanying Financial Statements include all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary to present fairly, when read in conjunction with our 2020 Form 10-K, the results of the interim periods presented. Our results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in shareholders' deficit for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Our significant interim accounting policies include the recognition of advertising and marketing costs, generally in proportion to revenue, and the recognition of income taxes using an estimated annual effective tax rate.
Note 2 - Habit Burger Grill Acquisition
On March 18, 2020, we completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of The Habit Restaurants, Inc. As of the date of acquisition, The Habit Restaurants, Inc. operated 245 company-owned and 31 franchised Habit Burger Grill restaurants across the U.S. and in China, offering a flavor-forward variety of made-to-order items chargrilled over an open flame. We expect Habit Burger Grill to benefit from the global scale and resources of YUM and that the acquisition will accelerate and diversify YUM's growth.
Total cash consideration paid in connection with the acquisition was $408 million, net of acquired cash of $20 million. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we finalized our estimate of the fair value of the net assets acquired, which resulted in goodwill being reduced by $15 million compared to the initial fair value estimate recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2020 ($2 million of this reduction was recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2021). The final allocation of consideration to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired upon the March 18, 2020 acquisition is presented in the table below.

During the first quarter of 2020, the operations of substantially all Habit Burger Grill restaurants were impacted by COVID-19. As a result, we performed an interim impairment test of the Habit Burger Grill reporting unit goodwill as of March 31, 2020. This test of impairment included comparing the estimated fair value of the Habit Burger Grill reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill, as originally determined through our preliminary purchase price allocation. The fair value estimate of the Habit Burger Grill reporting unit was based on the estimated price a willing buyer would pay for the reporting unit and was determined using an income approach through a discounted cash flow analysis using unobservable inputs (Level 3). The most impactful of these inputs included future average unit volumes of Habit Burger Grill restaurants as well as restaurant unit counts. The fair value was determined based upon a probability-weighted average of three scenarios, which included assumed recovery of Habit Burger Grill average unit volumes to a pre—COVID-19 level over periods ranging from the beginning of 2021 to the end of 2022. Factors impacting restaurant unit counts were near-term unit closures as the result of COVID-19 as well as the pace of expected new unit development. Unit counts assumed were correlated with the expected recoveries in average unit volumes. Based upon this fair value estimate, we determined that the carrying value of our Habit Burger Grill reporting unit exceeded its fair value. As a result, during the first quarter of 2020 we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $139 million to Other (income) expense and a corresponding income tax benefit of $32 million. As we continued to refine our preliminary purchase price allocation in the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the impairment charge was adjusted upward by $5 million, which resulted in a corresponding income tax benefit of $1 million. Subsequent to these 2020 goodwill impairment charges and the finalization during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, of the allocation of consideration to the net assets acquired (described above), the Habit Burger Grill reporting unit goodwill was $60 million.

Our second quarter and year to date effective tax rates are lower than the prior year primarily due to tax benefits of $64 19 % to 25 %, beginning April 1, 2023. In addition, the year-over-year change in uncertain tax positions favorably impacted our effective tax rates for both the quarter and year to date.

Details of our Short-term borrowings and Long-term debt as of December 31, 2020 can be found within our 2020 Form 10-K.
On March 15, 2021, KFC Holding Co., Pizza Hut Holdings, LLC and Taco Bell of America, LLC (collectively, the “Borrowers”), each of which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, completed the refinancing of the then existing $1.9 billion term loan B facility, $431 million term loan A facility and $1.0 billion revolving facility through the issuance of a $1.5 billion term loan B facility maturing March 15, 2028 (the "Term Loan B Facility"), a $750 million term loan A facility maturing March 15, 2026 (the "Term Loan A Facility") and a $1.25 billion revolving facility maturing March 15, 2026 (the "Revolving Facility") pursuant to an amendment to the Credit Agreement (as defined in our 2020 Form 10-K). The amendment reduces the interest rate currently applicable to the refinanced Term Loan A Facility and for borrowings under the refinanced Revolving Facility by 25 basis points. Subsequent to the refinance the interest rate applicable to the Term Loan A Facility and the Revolving Facility ranges from 0.75 % to 1.50 % plus LIBOR or from 0.00 % to 0.50 % plus the Base Rate, at the Borrowers' election, based on the total leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
The refinanced Term Loan A Facility is now subject to quarterly amortization payments in an amount equal to 0.625 % of the principal amount of the facility as of the refinance date beginning with the second quarter of 2022. The Term Loan A Facility quarterly amortization payments increase to 1.25 % of the principal amount of the facility as of the refinance date beginning with the second quarter of 2024. The Term Loan B Facility continues to be subject to quarterly amortization payments in an amount equal to 0.25 % of the principal amount of the facility as of the refinance date. All other material provisions under the Credit Agreement remain unchanged.
As a result of this Credit Agreement refinancing, $8 million of fees were capitalized as debt issuance costs, $3 million of which were paid directly to lenders. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, fees expensed of $4 million as well as previously recorded unamortized debt issuance costs written off of $8 million were recognized within Interest expense, net due to this refinancing.
On April 1, 2021, Yum! Brands, Inc. issued $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.625 % YUM Senior Unsecured Notes due January 31, 2032 (the “2032 Notes”). Interest on the 2032 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on October 1, 2021. The indenture governing the 2032 Notes contains covenants and events of default that are customary for debt securities of this type, including cross-default provisions whereby the acceleration of the maturity of any of our indebtedness in a principal amount of $100 million or more or the failure to pay the principal of such indebtedness at its stated maturity will constitute an event of default under the 2032 Notes unless such indebtedness is discharged, or the acceleration of the maturity of that indebtedness is annulled, within 30 days after notice. The Company paid debt issuance costs of $13 million in connection with the 2032 Notes. The debt issuance costs will be amortized to Interest expense, net over the life of the 2032 Notes using the effective interest method. We used the net proceeds from the 2032 Notes to fund the redemption of the 2026 Notes discussed below.
19
On April 23, 2021, the Borrowers issued a notice of redemption for June 1, 2021 for $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 in the quarter ended June 30, 2021.
On June 30, 2021, Yum! Brands, Inc. issued a notice of redemption for $350 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75 % YUM Senior Unsecured Notes due November 1, 2021 (the "2021 Notes"). The redemption, which occurred on August 2, 2021, was in an amount equal to 100 % of the $350 million aggregate principal amount redeemed, plus accrued interest to the date of redemption.
Excluding the amounts associated with the Credit Agreement refinancing and extinguishment of the 2026 Notes discussed above, cash paid for interest during the years to date ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $235 million and $243 million, respectively.
Note 12 - Derivative Instruments
We use derivative instruments to manage certain of our market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest Rate Swaps
We have entered into interest rate swaps, with the objective of reducing our exposure to interest rate risk for a portion of our variable-rate debt interest payments primarily under our Term Loan B Facility. At both June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had interest rate swaps that expired in July 2021 with notional amounts of $1.55 1.5
Gains or losses on the interest rate swaps are reported as a component of AOCI and reclassified into Interest expense, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the same period or periods during which the related hedged interest payments affect earnings. Through June 30, 2021, the swaps were highly effective cash flow hedges.
Foreign Currency Contracts
We have entered into foreign currency forward and swap contracts with the objective of reducing our exposure to earnings volatility arising from foreign currency fluctuations associated with certain foreign currency denominated intercompany receivables and payables. The notional amount, maturity date, and currency of these contracts match those of the underlying intercompany receivables or payables. Our foreign currency contracts are designated cash flow hedges as the future cash flows of the contracts are expected to offset changes in intercompany receivables and payables due to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Gains or losses on the foreign currency contracts are reported as a component of AOCI. Amounts are reclassified from AOCI each quarter to offset foreign currency transaction gains or losses recorded within Other (income) expense when the related intercompany receivables and payables affect earnings due to their functional currency remeasurements. Through June 30, 2021, all foreign currency contracts related to intercompany receivables and payables were highly effective cash flow hedges.
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, outstanding foreign currency contracts related to intercompany receivables and payables had total notional amounts of $34 million and $39 million, respectively. These foreign currency forward contracts all have durations that expire in 2021.
As a result of the use of interest rate swaps and foreign currency contracts, the Company is exposed to risk that the counterparties will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate the counterparty credit risk, we only enter into contracts with major financial institutions carefully selected based upon their credit ratings and other factors, and continually assess the creditworthiness of counterparties. At June 30, 2021, all of the counterparties to our interest rate swaps and foreign currency contracts had investment grade ratings according to the three major ratings agencies. To date, all counterparties have performed in accordance with their contractual obligations.

As of June 30, 2021, the estimated net loss included in AOCI related to our cash flow hedges that will be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months is $42 million, based on current LIBOR interest rates.
Total Return Swaps
Beginning in 2021, we have entered into total return swap derivative contracts, with the objective of reducing our exposure to market-driven changes in certain of the liabilities associated with compensation deferrals into our Executive Income Deferral ("EID") plan. While these total return swaps represent economic hedges, we have not designated them as hedges for accounting purposes. As a result, the changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized immediately in earnings within General and administrative expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income largely offsetting the changes in the associated EID liabilities. The fair value associated with the total return swaps as of June 30, 2021, was not significant.
See Note 13 for the fair value of our derivative assets and liabilities.
Note 13 - Fair Value Disclosures
As of June 30, 2021, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings and accounts payable approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of notes receivable, net of allowances, and lease guarantees, less reserves for expected losses, approximates their carrying value. The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s debt obligations:

(b) We estimated the fair value of the YUM and Subsidiary Senior Unsecured Notes, Term Loan A Facility and Term Loan B Facility using market quotes and calculations based on market rates.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The Company has interest rate swaps, foreign currency contracts and other investments, all of which are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis (See Note 12 for discussion regarding derivative instruments). The following table
21
presents fair values for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the measurements fall.
| Fair Value | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Liabilities | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Interest Rate Swaps | Accounts payable and other current liabilities | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Interest Rate Swaps | Other liabilities and deferred credits | 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps and foreign currency contracts were determined based on the present value of expected future cash flows considering the risks involved, including nonperformance risk, and using discount rates appropriate for the duration based on observable inputs. The other investments as of December 31, 2020, primarily include investments in mutual funds, which were historically used to offset fluctuations for a portion of our EID liabilities and whose fair values were determined based on the closing market prices of the respective mutual funds. In the quarter ended March 31, 2021, upon entering into the total return swaps as disclosed in Note 12, we sold the majority of these other investments and received cash proceeds of $44 million. These proceeds have been classified within Other, net cash flows from investing activities within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Note 14 - Commitments and Contingencies
Internal Revenue Service Proposed Adjustment
Lease Guarantees
As a result of having assigned our interest in obligations under real estate leases as a condition to the refranchising of certain Company-owned restaurants, and guaranteeing certain other leases, we are frequently secondarily liable on lease agreements. These leases have varying terms, the latest of which expires in 2065 . As of June 30, 2021, the potential amount of undiscounted payments we could be required to make in the event of non-payment by the primary lessee was approximately $400 million. The present value of these potential payments discounted at our pre-tax cost of debt at June 30, 2021, was approximately $350 million. Our franchisees are the primary lessees under the vast majority of these leases. We generally have cross-default provisions with these franchisees that would put them in default of their franchise agreement in the event of non-payment under the lease. We believe these cross-default provisions significantly reduce the risk that we will be required to make payments under these leases, although such risk may not be reduced in the context of a bankruptcy or other similar restructuring of a large franchisee or group of franchisees. The liability recorded for our expected losses under such leases as of June 30, 2021, was not material.

Legal Proceedings
We are subject to various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, real estate, environmental and other matters arising in the normal course of business. An accrual is recorded with respect to claims or contingencies for which a loss is determined to be probable and reasonably estimable.
Yum! Restaurants India Private Limited (“YRIPL”), a Yum subsidiary that operates KFC and Pizza Hut restaurants in India, is the subject of a regulatory enforcement action in India (the “Action”). The Action alleges, among other things, that KFC International Holdings, Inc. and Pizza Hut International failed to satisfy certain conditions imposed by the Secretariat for Industrial Approval in 1993 and 1994 when those companies were granted permission for foreign investment and operation in India. The conditions at issue include an alleged minimum investment commitment and store build requirements as well as limitations on the remittance of fees outside of India.
The Action originated with a complaint and show cause notice filed in 2009 against YRIPL by the Deputy Director of the Directorate of Enforcement (“DOE”) of the Indian Ministry of Finance following an income tax audit for the years 2002 and 2003. The matter was argued at various hearings in 2015, but no order was issued. Following a change in the incumbent official holding the position of Special Director of DOE (the “Special Director”), the matter resumed in 2018 and several additional hearings were conducted.
We are currently engaged in various other legal proceedings and have certain unresolved claims pending, the ultimate liability for which, if any, cannot be determined at this time. However, based upon consultation with legal counsel, we are of the opinion that such proceedings and claims are not expected to have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Dragontail Acquisition
On May 26, 2021, we announced our definitive agreement pursuant to which we will acquire all the issued share capital of Dragontail Systems Limited (“Dragontail”) for A$93.5 million in cash. Dragontail is a cutting-edge restaurant technology company whose platform is focused on optimizing and managing the entire food preparation process from order through delivery, including automating the kitchen flow, driver dispatch and customer order tracking. The transaction is conditional upon, among other matters, Australian Federal Court approval, approval by Dragontail’s shareholders and other certain regulatory waivers and rulings. The transaction is expected to be completed by the end of the third-quarter of 2021. If the transaction is consummated, we intend to fund the acquisition of Dragontail using cash on hand.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Introduction and Overview
The following Management's Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”), should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“Financial Statements”), the Forward-Looking Statements and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, (“2020 Form 10-K”). All Note references herein refer to the Notes to the Financial Statements. Tabular amounts are displayed in millions of U.S. dollars except per share and unit count amounts, or as otherwise specifically identified. Percentages may not recompute due to rounding.
Yum! Brands, Inc. and its Subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as the “Company,” “YUM,” “we,” “us” or “our”) franchise or operate a system of over 51,000 restaurants in more than 150 countries and territories, primarily under the concepts of KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and The Habit Burger Grill (collectively, the "Concepts"). The Company’s KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell brands are global leaders of the chicken, pizza and Mexican-style food categories, respectively. The Habit Burger Grill, a concept we acquired on March 18, 2020, is a fast-casual restaurant concept specializing in made-to-order chargrilled burgers, sandwiches and more. Of the over 51,000 restaurants, 98% are operated by franchisees.
YUM currently consists of four operating segments:
•The KFC Division which includes our worldwide operations of the KFC concept
•The Pizza Hut Division which includes our worldwide operations of the Pizza Hut concept
•The Taco Bell Division which includes our worldwide operations of the Taco Bell concept
•The Habit Burger Grill Division which includes our worldwide operations of the Habit Burger Grill concept
Through our Recipe for Growth and Good we intend to unlock the growth potential of our Concepts and YUM, drive increased collaboration across our Concepts and geographies and consistently deliver better customer experiences, improved unit economics and higher rates of growth. Key enablers include accelerated use of technology and better leverage of our systemwide scale.
Our Recipe for Growth is based on four key drivers:
•Unrivaled Culture and Talent: Leverage our culture and people capability to fuel brand performance and franchise success
•Unmatched Operating Capability: Recruit and equip the best restaurant operators in the world to deliver great customer experiences
•Relevant, Easy and Distinctive Brands: Innovate and elevate iconic restaurant brands people trust and champion
•Bold Restaurant Development: Drive market and franchise expansion with strong economics and value
Our global citizenship strategy, called the Recipe for Good, reflects our priorities for socially responsible growth, risk management and sustainable stewardship of our people, food and planet.
We intend for this MD&A to provide the reader with information that will assist in understanding our results of operations, including performance metrics that management uses to assess the Company's performance. Throughout this MD&A, we commonly discuss the following performance metrics:
•Same-store sales growth is the estimated percentage change in system sales of all restaurants that have been open and in the YUM system for one year or more (with the exception of Habit Burger Grill restaurants acquired in the first quarter of 2020 for which we included all sales in the quarter ended March 31, 2020 both before and after the acquisition in the prior year base for purposes of determining 2021 same-store sales growth), including those temporarily closed. From time-to-time restaurants may be temporarily closed due to remodeling or image enhancement, rebuilding, natural disasters, health epidemic or pandemic, landlord disputes or other issues. Throughout 2020 and continuing into 2021 we have had a significant number of restaurants that were temporarily closed including restaurants closed due to government and landlord restrictions as a result of COVID-19. The system sales of restaurants we deem temporarily closed remain in our base for purposes of determining same-store sales growth and the restaurants remain in our unit count (see below). We believe same-store sales growth is useful to investors because our results are heavily dependent on the results of our Concepts' existing store base. Additionally, same-store sales growth is reflective of the strength of our Brands, the effectiveness of our operational and advertising initiatives and local economic and consumer trends.
•Net new unit growth reflects new unit openings offset by permanent store closures, by us and our franchisees. To determine whether a restaurant meets the definition of a unit we consider whether the restaurant has operations that are ongoing and
24
independent from another YUM unit, serves the primary product of one of our Concepts, operates under a separate franchise agreement (if operated by a franchisee) and has substantial and sustainable sales. We believe net new unit growth is useful to investors because we depend on net new units for a significant portion of our growth. Additionally, net new unit growth is generally reflective of the economic returns to us and our franchisees from opening and operating our Concept restaurants.
•System sales and System sales excluding the impacts of foreign currency translation ("FX") reflect the results of all restaurants regardless of ownership, including Company-owned and franchise restaurants. Sales at franchise restaurants typically generate ongoing franchise and license fees for the Company at a rate of 3% to 6% of sales. Increasingly, customers are paying a fee to a third party to deliver or facilitate the ordering of our Concepts' products. We also include in System sales any portion of the amount customers pay these third parties for which the third party is obligated to pay us a license fee as a percentage of such amount. Franchise restaurant sales and fees paid by customers to third parties to deliver or facilitate the ordering of our Concepts' products are not included in Company sales on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income; however, any resulting franchise and license fees we receive are included in the Company's revenues. We believe System sales growth is useful to investors as a significant indicator of the overall strength of our business as it incorporates our primary revenue drivers, Company and franchise same-store sales as well as net unit growth.
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 excluding Special Items (as defined below);
•Effective Tax Rate excluding Special Items;
•Core Operating Profit. Core Operating Profit excludes Special Items and FX 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.
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 performance metrics and non-GAAP measurements are presented excluding the impact of FX. These amounts are derived by translating current year results at prior year average exchange rates. We believe the elimination of the FX impact provides better year-to-year comparability without the distortion of foreign currency fluctuations.

(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 2021 and 2020 as Special Items are directly associated with restaurants that were refranchised as of the end of 2018.
During the quarters ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded net refranchising gains of $2 million and $3 million, respectively, that have been reflected as Special Items. During the years to date ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded net refranchising gains of $4 million and $6 million, respectively, that have been reflected as Special Items.
Additionally, we recorded net refranchising gains of $5 million during both quarters ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, that have not been reflected as Special Items. During the years to date ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded net refranchising gains of $18 million and $15 million, respectively, that have not been reflected as Special Items. These gains relate to refranchising of restaurants in 2021 and 2020 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)On June 24, 2020, the YUM! Brands, Inc. Board of Directors approved the establishment of the Company's new global "Unlocking Opportunity Initiative" including a $100 million investment over the next five years to fight inequality by unlocking opportunities for employees, restaurant team members and communities. The Company contributed $50 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2020 to Yum! Brands Foundation, Inc. (a stand-alone, not-for-profit organization that is not consolidated in the Company's results) as part of these efforts and investment. As a result of the size and specific nature of this contribution, we have reflected the associated expense as a Special Item.
(c)During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, we recorded a charge of $2 million to General and administrative expenses and a credit of $1 million to Other pension (income) expense related to a resource optimization program initiated in the third quarter of 2020. This program was 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, 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 and we reflected the charges as Special Items due to their collective size and the fact that the amounts are not indicative of our ongoing interest expense. See Note 11.
(e)Tax 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.
(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 rights into the UK, which resulted in the recognition of an additional $64 million deferred tax benefit as a Special Item.
(g)The foreign currency impact on reported Operating Profit is presented in relation only to the immediately preceding year presented. When determining applicable Core Operating Profit growth percentages, the Core Operating Profit for the current year should be compared to the prior year GAAP Operating Profit adjusted only for any prior year Special Items Income (Expense).

Items Impacting Current Quarter and Expected to Impact Future Results
The following items impacted reported results in 2021 and/or 2020 and/or are expected to impact future results. See also the Detail of Special Items section of this MD&A for other items similarly impacting results.
32
COVID-19
In late 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was first detected and in March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. Throughout 2020 and into 2021, COVID-19 has spread throughout the U.S. and the rest of the world and governmental authorities have implemented measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19. These measures include restrictions on travel outside the home and other limitations on business and other activities as well as encouraging social distancing. As a result of COVID-19, we and our franchisees have experienced significant store closures and instances of reduced store-level operations, including reduced operating hours and dining-room closures. The impact on our sales in each of our markets has been dependent on the timing, severity and duration of the outbreak, measures implemented by government authorities to reduce the spread of COVID-19, as well as our reliance on dine-in sales in the market.
Our results were significantly impacted by the impacts of COVID-19 in the year ended December 31, 2020, as evidenced by our worldwide same-store sales decline of 6%. Overall, our sales declines were primarily driven by temporary store closures, which peaked in early April 2020 at about 11,000 restaurants and ended the year at about 830 restaurants, which meant roughly 98% of our system was open in a full or limited capacity at year end. In addition to the loss of sales due to restaurants being temporarily closed, we also lost sales due to dining room closures or other limitations on access.
Beginning in 2020 and continuing through the second quarter of 2021 we have been able to mitigate the loss of sales due to temporary unit closures, dining room closures or other limitations on access through the strength of our off-premise channels, aided by increasing consumer access to our brands via digital channels. As a result, our same-store sales in the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2021, increased 23% and 16%, respectively, driven by strong performance in North America, the United Kingdom and Australia, with improved performance in Europe as it began to reopen and show signs of recovery. Additionally, we have seen strong new unit development of 1,038 gross units during the first half of 2021, which we believe is primarily a result of improving unit-level economics, our franchisees’ financial strength and commitment to our Concepts, the inherent competitive advantages of the Quick Service Restaurant sector throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, our Concepts’ off-premise and digital capabilities, as well as selective use of development incentives with certain franchisees.
Our second quarter 2021 same-store sales results include the impact of approximately 700 restaurants remaining temporarily closed as of June 30, 2021, due to COVID-19. These temporary closures are primarily KFC and Pizza Hut restaurants located in countries where COVID-19 government restrictions remain elevated, including Latin America and certain parts of Asia. Assets located in malls, transportation centers, airports and other similar locations continue to be pressured, making up many of the temporary closures.
The COVID-19 situation is ongoing, and its dynamic nature makes it difficult to forecast any impacts on the Company's results for the balance of 2021. The ultimate pace of our recovery will largely depend on the pace of restaurant reopenings and the continuation of current sales trends, although we expect continuing adverse impacts from COVID-19 in certain parts of the world. In addition, for our restaurants that prominently feature drive-thru, carryout and delivery options, COVID-19 has in many cases contributed to an increase in sales during 2020 and the first half of 2021. If the impact of COVID-19 recedes, in-person dining restrictions are lifted or lessened and the restaurant industry in general returns to more normal operations, the benefits to sales experienced by certain of our restaurants, including our Pizza Hut delivery restaurants, could wane and our results could be negatively impacted. As 98% of our restaurants are operated by approximately 2,000 independent franchisees across the world, we are closely monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on our franchisees' financial condition.
The Habit Restaurants, Inc. Acquisition
On March 18, 2020, we acquired The Habit Restaurants, Inc. for total cash consideration of $408 million, net of cash acquired. Our condensed consolidated financial statements and system sales metric reflect the ongoing results of Habit Burger Grill operations for fourteen days in the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and full quarter results for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.
As a result of the impacts of COVID-19 on the results of Habit Burger Grill’s operations, as well as general market conditions, we recorded an after-tax impairment charge of $107 million in the first quarter of 2020 related to the goodwill arising from the preliminary purchase price allocation associated with the acquisition. We have reflected this impairment as a Special Item, resulting in a Special Item EPS charge for the year to date ended June 30, 2020, of approximately $0.35. See Note 2.
Franchise Bad Debt Expense
We experienced significant quarterly fluctuations in franchise bad debt expense in 2020 due in large part to the uncertainties associated with COVID-19. During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, we recognized net bad debt recoveries of $4 million related to short-term accounts receivable due from our franchisees for royalties, rent and other services we provide, which were
33
primarily reflected within Franchise and property expenses. These net bad debt recoveries of $4 million compared to $13 million of bad debt expense recognized in the quarter ended June 30, 2020, and thus benefited Operating Profit growth by $17 million quarter-over-quarter.
During the year to date ended June 30, 2021, we recognized net bad debt recoveries of $10 million related to short-term accounts receivable due from our franchisees for royalties, rent and other services we provide, which were primarily reflected within Franchise and property expenses. These net bad debt recoveries of $10 million compared to $42 million of bad debt expense recognized in the year to date ended June 30, 2020, and thus benefited Operating Profit growth by $52 million year-over-year.
Due to the quarterly fluctuations in franchise bad debt expense in 2020 discussed above, we expect quarterly operating profit growth to be negatively impacted in the second half of 2021 as we lap net bad debt recoveries of $21 million and $8 million in the quarters ended September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Investment in Grubhub, Inc. (“Grubhub”)
In April of 2018 we purchased 2.8 million shares of Grubhub common stock for $200 million. In the quarter ended September 30, 2020, we sold our entire investment in Grubhub and received proceeds of $206 million. While we held our investment in Grubhub common stock we recognized changes in the fair value in our investment in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. For the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2020, we recognized pre-tax investment income of $84 million and $62 million, respectively, related to changes in fair value of our investment in Grubhub common stock.
KFC Europe Reorganization
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 have completed intra-entity transfers of certain intellectual property rights to subsidiaries in Switzerland subsequent to the end of the quarter ended June 30, 2021. As a result of the transfers of these rights, we received a step-up in tax basis to current fair value under applicable Swiss tax law. To the extent this step-up in tax basis will be amortizable against future Swiss taxable income, we will recognize a one-time deferred tax benefit in the quarter ended September 30, 2021. We currently estimate this tax benefit, net of other tax costs of the reorganization, will exceed $100 million.
KFC Division
The KFC Division has 25,720 units, 85% of which are located outside the U.S. Additionally, 99% of the KFC Division units were operated by franchisees as of June 30, 2021.

Corporate and unallocated G&A
The quarterly decrease in Corporate and Unallocated G&A expense was driven by lapping the prior year charitable contribution of $50 million related to our “Unlocking Opportunity Initiative” (See Note 9) and lower expenses related to our deferred compensation programs, partially offset by higher annual incentive compensation expense, higher share-based compensation expense and increased headcount supporting our technology initiatives.
The year to date decrease in Corporate and Unallocated G&A expense was driven by lapping the prior year charitable contribution of $50 million related to our “Unlocking Opportunity Initiative“ (See Note 9) and lapping prior year costs associated with the acquisition of Habit Burger Grill, partially offset by higher annual incentive compensation expense, higher share-based compensation expense and increased headcount supporting our technology initiatives.
Unallocated Other income (expense)
Unallocated Other income (expense) for the year to date ended June 30, 2020, includes a goodwill impairment charge of $139 million for Habit Burger Grill (see Note 2).
Interest expense, net
The quarterly and year to date increases in Interest expense, net were driven by $34 million of call premium paid and unamortized debt issuance costs written-off associated with the redemption of the 2026 Notes (see Note 11), offset by decreased borrowings on the Revolving Facility. The year to date increase in Interest expense, net was also driven by fees expensed as well as unamortized debt issuance costs written off totaling approximately $12 million related to the refinancing of the Credit Agreement (see Note 11).
39
Consolidated Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities was $773 million in 2021 versus $362 million in 2020. The increase was largely driven by an increase in Operating profit before Special Items, decreased annual incentive compensation payments, the lapping of our $50 million contribution related to our "Unlocking Opportunity Initiative" and a decrease in interest payments, partially offset by an increase in income tax payments.
Net cash used in investing activities was $8 million in 2021 versus $472 million in 2020. The change was primarily driven by the lapping of our prior year acquisition of The Habit Restaurants, Inc., the current year sale of certain mutual fund investments (see Note 13) and higher refranchising proceeds in the current year, partially offset by higher current year capital spending.
Net cash used in financing activities was $966 million in 2021 versus net cash provided by financing activities of $808 million in 2020. The change was primarily driven by lower net borrowings and higher share repurchases.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash generated by operations, cash on hand and our Revolving Facility (as defined below). We have historically generated substantial cash flows from the operations of our Company-owned stores and from our extensive franchise operations, which require a limited YUM investment. Our annual operating cash flows have historically been in excess of $1 billion. It is our intent to use these operating cash flows to continue to invest in growing our business and pay a meaningful dividend, with any remaining excess then returned to shareholders through share repurchases. To the extent operating cash flows plus other sources of cash do not cover our anticipated cash needs, we maintain a $1.25 billion Revolving Facility under our Credit Agreement that was undrawn as of June 30, 2021. We believe that our existing cash from operations, cash on hand and availability under our Revolving Facility, will be sufficient to fund our operations, anticipated capital expenditures and debt repayment obligations over the next twelve months.
Debt Instruments
As of June 30, 2021, approximately 93%, including the impact of interest rate swaps, of our $10.7 billion of total debt outstanding, excluding finance leases, is fixed with an effective overall interest rate of approximately 4.6%. We are managing a capital structure which reflects consolidated leverage, net of available cash, in-line with our target of ~5.0x EBITDA, and which we believe provides an attractive balance between optimized interest rates, duration and flexibility with diversified sources of liquidity and maturities spread over multiple years. We have credit ratings of BB (Standard & Poor's)/Ba2 (Moody's) with a balance sheet consistent with highly-levered peer restaurant franchise companies.
The following table summarizes the future maturities of our outstanding long-term debt, excluding finance leases and debt issuance costs and discounts, as of June 30, 2021.

Securitization Notes include four series of senior secured notes issued by Taco Bell Funding, LLC (the “Issuer”) totaling $2.9 billion with fixed interest rates ranging from 4.318% to 4.970%. The Securitization Notes are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and the Issuer’s special purpose, wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively with the Issuer, the “Securitization Entities”), and include a lien on all existing and future U.S. Taco Bell franchise and license agreements and the royalties payable thereunder, existing and future U.S. Taco Bell intellectual property, certain transaction accounts and a pledge of the equity interests in asset-owning Securitization Entities. The Securitization Notes contain cross-default provisions whereby the failure to pay principal on any outstanding Securitization Notes will constitute an event of default under any other Securitization Notes.

Credit Agreement includes senior secured credit facilities consisting of a $750 million Term Loan A facility (the “Term Loan A Facility"), a $1.5 billion Term Loan B facility (the “Term Loan B Facility”) and a $1.25 billion revolving facility (the “Revolving Facility”) issued by KFC Holding Co., Pizza Hut Holdings, LLC and Taco Bell of America, LLC (collectively, the “Borrowers”), each of which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Our Revolving Facility was undrawn as of June 30, 2021. The interest rates applicable to the Term Loan A Facility and the Revolving Facility range from 0.75% to 1.50% plus LIBOR or from 0.00% to 0.50% plus the Base Rate, at the Borrowers’ election, based upon the total net leverage ratio of the Borrowers and the Specified Guarantors (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The interest rates applicable to the Term Loan B Facility are 1.75% plus LIBOR or 0.75% plus the Base Rate, at the Borrowers' election. Our Term Loan A Facility and Term Loan B Facility contain cross-default provisions whereby the failure to pay principal of or otherwise perform any agreement or condition under indebtedness of certain subsidiaries with a principal amount in excess of $100 million will constitute an event of default under the Credit Agreement. See Note 11 for details regarding our refinance of the Credit Agreement during the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
Subsidiary Senior Unsecured Notes include $750 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% Subsidiary Senior Unsecured Notes due 2027. Our Subsidiary Senior Unsecured Notes contain cross-default provisions whereby the acceleration of the maturity of the indebtedness of certain subsidiaries with a principal amount in excess of $100 million or the failure to pay principal of such indebtedness will constitute an event of default under the Subsidiary Senior Unsecured Notes.
On April 23, 2021, the Borrowers issued a notice of redemption for June 1, 2021 for $1,050 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% Subsidiary Senior Unsecured Notes for 2026 (the "2026 Notes"). The redemption amount was equal to 102.625% of the principal amount redeemed, reflecting a “call premium”. See Note 11.
YUM Senior Unsecured Notes include eight series of senior unsecured notes issued by Yum! Brands, Inc. totaling $4.8 billion with fixed interest rates ranging from 3.625% to 7.75%. Our YUM Senior Unsecured Notes contain cross-default provisions whereby the acceleration of the maturity of any of our indebtedness or the failure to pay principal of such indebtedness above certain thresholds will constitute an event of default under the YUM Senior Unsecured Notes unless such indebtedness is discharged, or the acceleration of the maturity of that indebtedness is annulled, within 30 days after notice.
On April 1, 2021, Yum! Brands, Inc. issued $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.625% YUM Senior Unsecured Notes due January 31, 2032 (the “2032 Notes”). We used the net proceeds from the 2032 Notes and cash on hand to fund the redemption of the 2026 Notes discussed above. See Note 11.
On June 30, 2021, YUM! Brands, Inc. issued a notice of redemption for August 2, 2021 for $350 million aggregate principal amount of 3.75% YUM Senior Unsecured Notes due November 1, 2021 (the "2021 Notes"). The redemption amount was equal to 100% of the $350 million aggregate principal amount redeemed, plus accrued interest to the date of redemption.
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In March 2020, the FASB issued guidance related to reference rate reform. The pronouncement provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the current guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance was effective upon issuance and generally can be applied to applicable contract modifications through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact of the transition from LIBOR to alternative reference rates, including the impact on our interest rate swaps with notional amounts of $1.5 billion expiring in March 2025. These interest rate swaps are designated cash flow hedges. We do not anticipate the impact of adopting this standard will be material to our Financial Statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Yum! Brands, Inc.:
Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Yum! Brands, Inc. and Subsidiaries (YUM) as of June 30, 2021, the related condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, and shareholders’ deficit for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated interim financial information). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial information for it to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of YUM as of December 31, 2020, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 19, 2021, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
This consolidated interim financial information is the responsibility of YUM’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to YUM in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of consolidated interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
