Fourth-Quarter System Sales Growth of 10% excluding Russia Impact

Louisville, KY (February 8, 2023) - Yum! Brands, Inc. (NYSE: YUM) today reported results for the fourth-quarter and year ended December 31, 2022. Fourth-quarter GAAP EPS was $1.29, an increase of 17%. Fourth-quarter EPS excluding Special Items was $1.31, an increase of 29%. Full-year GAAP EPS was $4.57, a decrease of (12)%. Full-year EPS excluding Special Items was $4.51, an increase of 1%. Full-year GAAP Operating Profit growth was 2%. Full-year Core Operating Profit1 growth was 6%, including a 2-point headwind from the removal of Russia profits.

DAVID GIBBS & CHRIS TURNER COMMENTS
David Gibbs, CEO, said “2022 was a landmark year for Yum! as we beat our own industry record for unit development, opening an incredible 4,560 gross new units. Despite a challenging environment, we achieved widespread system sales growth of 8% excluding Russia with $24 billion in digital sales, demonstrating that our iconic brands are more relevant, easy and distinctive than ever. I’m confident that our distinct competitive advantages including our world-class franchisees and the industry’s best talent will drive accelerated growth in the future.”

Chris Turner, CFO, said “Our fiscal 2022 results delivered on our raised long-term growth algorithm with record-setting net new unit growth and 4% same-store sales growth. Despite inflationary pressures and a 2-point negative impact from Russia, we delivered 6% Core Operating Profit growth – a testament to the strength of our enterprise. We remain focused on executing the strategies underlying our Recipe for Good Growth to drive our business forward. I'm also pleased to announce our Board of Directors approved an increased quarterly dividend of $0.605.”

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 FOURTH-QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS and FULL-YEAR HIGHLIGHTS sections and the remainder of this release.
Removing Russia from our prior year base, key performance metrics would have been as follows:

OTHER ITEMS
As we reported in the Form 8-K filed on January 18, 2023, we experienced a ransomware attack in January. The attack disrupted operations at fewer than 300 restaurants in one market for one day. Store operations were otherwise uninterrupted, and impacted information technology systems have largely been restored. We have incurred some incremental expenses relating to the remediation and investigation of the attack, but we do not expect such expenses to be material and do not otherwise expect this incident to have a material adverse impact on our business, operations or financial results. Because the forensic investigation is ongoing, we will have no further comment at this time.
The Company's Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.605 per share of common stock.  The quarterly dividend will be distributed March 10, 2023 to shareholders of record at the close of business on February 22, 2023.

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 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 Consolidated Summary of Results, Consolidated Balance Sheets
and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
(amounts in millions)
(unaudited)

Amounts presented as of and for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022 are preliminary.

(a)Due to their size and volatility, we have reflected as Special Items those refranchising gains and losses that were recorded in connection with 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 quarters ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded net refranchising gains of $1 million and net refranchising losses of $1 million, respectively, that have been reflected as Special Items. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded net refranchising gains of $6 million and $3 million, respectively, that have been reflected as Special Items.

Additionally, during the quarters ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded net refranchising gains of $11 million and $15 million, respectively, that have not been reflected as Special Items. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded net refranchising gains of $21 million and $32 million, respectively, that have not been reflected as Special Items. These gains 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 Russia 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 presented herein reflect revenues from and expenses to support the Russian operations for Pizza Hut, prior to the date of transfer, and KFC, for the entirety of the quarter and year ended December 31, 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 resulting 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 $7 million and $44 million for quarter and year ended December 31, 2022, respectively, has been reflected as a Special Item as the amounts are not indicative of our ongoing results.

(c)During the quarter ended December 31, 2022, we recorded a charge of $9 million to General and administrative expenses and during the quarter ended December 31, 2021, we recorded a charge of $2 million to Other (income) expense related to a resource optimization program initiated in the third quarter of 2020.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, we recorded charges of $10 million to General and administrative expenses and $1 million to Other (income) expense related to this resource optimization program. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded charges of $7 million to General and administrative expenses and $2 million to Other (income) expense and we recorded a credit of $1 million to Other pension (income) expense related to this resource optimization program.

19



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.

(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 and year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded as a Special Item a $2 million tax expense and a $8 million tax benefit, respectively, 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 part of a fourth quarter 2019 intercompany restructuring of intellectual property (“IP”) rights into the UK. Those deferred tax assets arose as a result of a step-up in amortizable tax basis to current fair value under applicable UK law. These deferred tax assets were originally recognized as a Special Item in 2019. The remeasurement which resulted in the recognition of an additional $64 million deferred tax benefit in the quarter ended June 30, 2021, was also recognized 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.

In December 2021, we continued our KFC Europe Reorganization and completed intra-entity transfers of additional European KFC IP rights from subsidiaries in the U.S. to subsidiaries in Switzerland. With the transfers of these additional 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 $35 million as a Special Item in the quarter ended December 31, 2021.

In the quarter ended June 30, 2022, as a result of our decision to exit the Russia market, we recorded tax expense associated with the remeasurement of and establishment of a valuation allowance on a portion of the aforementioned deferred tax assets associated with the amortizable tax basis associated with the KFC IP rights held in Switzerland (see Note g). In the quarter ended December 31, 2022, we performed an annual valuation under Swiss laws of these Swiss IP rights, incorporating current assumptions as to the now expected future cash flows attributable to the IP. This valuation included now expected royalty growth assumptions in other parts of our business that use these IP rights which largely offset the loss of the Russia royalty income associated with such rights. Based on this valuation as well as future forecasting of taxable income, we remeasured and reassessed the need for valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets associated with the Swiss IP. As a result, we recorded a net tax benefit of $82 million as a Special Item in the quarter ended December 31, 2022.

20



(g)Our decision to exit the Russia market in the quarter ended June 30, 2022, resulted in a reduction in the tax basis of IP rights held in Switzerland due to the expected loss of the associated Russia royalty income associated with such rights going forward. As a result, we remeasured and reassessed the need for a valuation allowance on the associated deferred tax assets. In addition, we 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 expense of $3 million and $72 million in the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022, respectively, that were reflected as Special Items.

(h)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 made 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 believed would be used to offset these non-creditable taxes in 2022 and future years. This valuation allowance reversal resulted in a tax benefit of $82 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2022. In November 2022, the U.S. Treasury published clarifying guidance on the January 2022 regulations. This clarifying guidance resulted in foreign taxes originally determined to be non-creditable under the January 2022 regulations to now be treated as creditable taxes. This is expected to result in much of the Company’s existing foreign tax credit carryforward deferred tax asset to expire unutilized. As a result, we re-established the valuation allowance that was reversed in the quarter ended March 31, 2022, resulting in a tax expense of $82 million in the quarter ended December 31, 2022. Both the original reversal and subsequent re-establishment of the valuation allowance were reflected as Special Items.
