DAVID GIBBS COMMENTS

David Gibbs, CEO, said “Our third quarter results, led by record-breaking unit development and sustained momentum in digital sales, are a testament to the strength of our Brands and the unmatched commitment and capability of our best-in-class franchise partners. I am proud that each of our global divisions contributed to delivering 760 net-new units in the quarter. Our 5% same store sales growth for the third quarter, or 3% same-store sales growth on a 2-year basis, demonstrates the resilience of our diversified global business model despite the headwind of the Delta variant in certain key markets.

During the quarter, we advanced our digital capabilities with the acquisition of Dragontail and its AI-based integrated kitchen order management and delivery technologies that strengthens store operations, enhances the customer experience and makes it easier for team members to run a restaurant. As we continue to navigate the short-term uncertainties of the COVID recovery, we are incredibly confident in the ability of our iconic brands and our world-class talent to drive growth and maximize stakeholder value by delivering on our long-term growth algorithm.”

THIRD-QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

  • Worldwide system sales excluding foreign currency translation grew 8%, with KFC at 11%, Taco Bell at 8% and Pizza Hut at 4%.
  • We reported 4% unit growth year-over-year and record third-quarter net-new unit growth of 760.
  • Foreign currency translation favorably impacted divisional operating profit by $12 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 where consumers at system restaurants utilize ordering interaction that is primarily facilitated by automated technology.

  • Taco Bell Division opened 74 gross new restaurants in 15 countries.
  • Operating margin decreased 2.6 percentage points due to restaurant level margins returning to historical levels and increased general and administrative expenses offset by same-store sales growth.
  • For the division, same-store sales grew 8% on a 2-year basis.

HABIT BURGER GRILL DIVISION

  • The Habit Burger Grill Division opened 8 gross new restaurants in the U.S.
  • During the quarter, The Habit Burger Grill Division same-store sales grew 11%.
    • For the year-to-date, The Habit Burger Grill Division same-store sales grew 18%.
  • For the division, same-store sales for the quarter grew 7% on a 2-year basis, which includes the impact of about 1% of stores that were temporarily closed as of the end of the third-quarter 2021.

OTHER ITEMS

  • Same-store sales growth on a 2-year basis is calculated using the geometric method as follows: (1 + Q3 2020 reported same-store sales growth) * (1 + Q3 2021 reported same-store sales growth) - 1.
  • We recorded $52 million of pre-tax investment income related to the change in fair value of our approximate 5% investment in Devyani International Limited, an entity that operates KFC and Pizza Hut franchised units in India that executed an initial public offering during the quarter. This change in fair value resulted in a $0.16 benefit to third-quarter EPS.
  • During the third quarter of 2021 a subsidiary of Taco Bell Corp. issued $2.25 billion of Securitization Notes. Proceeds were used to repay $1.3 billion of existing higher coupon Taco Bell Securitization Notes and for general corporate purposes including capital return to shareholders.
  • Disclosures pertaining to outstanding debt in our Restricted Group capital structure will be provided at the time of the filing of the third-quarter Form 10-Q.

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 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. 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 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.

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, 2021 and 2020 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 2021 and 2020 as Special Items are directly associated with restaurants that were refranchised prior to the end of 2018.

 

 

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2020, we recorded net refranchising gains of $2 million that have been reflected as a Special Item. During the years to date ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded net refranchising gains of $4 million and $8 million, respectively, that have been reflected as Special Items.

 

 

 

Additionally, we recorded net refranchising losses of $1 million and net refranchising gains of $7 million during the quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, that have not been reflected as Special Items. During the years to date ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded net refranchising gains of $17 million and $22 million, respectively, that have not been reflected as Special Items. These net gains and losses 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)

During the year to date ended September 30, 2020, we recorded Special Item charges of $9 million related to the acquisition and integration of The Habit Restaurants, Inc. ("Habit").

 

 

(c)

On March 18, 2020 we acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Habit for total cash consideration of $408 million, net of cash acquired. During the first-quarter of 2020 the operations of substantially all Habit restaurants were impacted by government recommendations and mandates arising from containment and mitigation measures related to the COVID-19 global pandemic. As a result of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on Habit’s results through March 31, 2020 as well as general market conditions, during the quarter ended March 31, 2020, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $139 million to Other (income) expense. As we continued to refine our preliminary purchase price allocation for Habit in the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the impairment charge was adjusted upward by $5 million. These impairment charges have been reflected as Special Items. We have also reflected the tax benefit of these impairment charges, which were $1 million and $32 million for the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2020, respectively, as Special Items.

 

 

(d)

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.

 

 

(e)

During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a charge of $4 million to General and administrative expenses, and during the quarter ended September 30, 2020, we recorded charges of $32 million and $1 million to General and administrative expenses and Other pension (expense) income, respectively, related to a resource optimization program initiated in the third quarter of 2020.

 

 

 

During the years to date ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recorded charges of $7 million and $32 million to General and administrative expenses, respectively, and a credit of $1 million and a charge of $1 million, respectively, to Other pension (expense) income related to the resource optimization 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 amounts have been reflected as Special Items.

 

 

(f)

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.

 

 

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2020, KFC Holding Co., Pizza Hut Holdings, LLC and Taco Bell of America, LLC, each of which a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, issued a notice of redemption for $1,050 million aggregate principal amount of 5.00% Subsidiary Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2024 (the "2024 Notes"). The redemption amount included a $26 million call premium plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption of October 9, 2020. We recorded the call premium, $6 million of unamortized debt issuance costs associated with the 2024 Notes and $2 million of accrued and unpaid interest associated with the period of time from prepayment of the 2024 Notes with the Trustee on September 25, 2020 to their redemption date within Interest expense, net and 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.

 

 

(g)

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.

 

 

(h)

During the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the United Kingdom (“UK”) Finance Act 2020 was enacted resulting in an increase in the UK corporate income tax rate from 17% to 19%. As a result, in the quarter ended September 30, 2020, we remeasured the deferred tax assets originally recorded as a Special Item in the fourth quarter of 2019 as part of an intercompany restructuring of certain intellectual property (“IP”) rights into the UK and recognized an additional $25 million deferred tax benefit as a Special Item.

 

 

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, the 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 the aforementioned 2019 intercompany restructuring of certain IP rights into the UK and recognized 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 tax benefit of $152 million as a Special Item in the quarter ended September 30, 2021.
