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, 20162023 (“20162023 Form 10-K”).  

YUM!Yum! Brands, Inc. and its Subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as “YUM”the “Company,” “YUM,” “we,” “us” or the “Company”“our”) comprise the worldwide operationsfranchise or operate a system of KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell (collectively the “Concepts”).  YUM has over 44,000 units, of which 59% are located outside the U.S.,59,000 restaurants in 137more than 155 countries and territories.  YUM was created as an independent, publicly-owned company on October 6, 1997 viaAs of March 31, 2024, 98% of these restaurants were owned and operated by franchisees.  The Company’s KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut brands are global leaders of the chicken, Mexican-style and pizza categories, respectively. The Habit Burger Grill is a tax-free distribution by our former parent, PepsiCo, Inc., of our Common Stock to its shareholders.  References to YUM throughout these Financial Statements are made using the first person notations of “we,” “us” or “our.”fast-casual restaurant concept specializing in made-to-order chargrilled burgers, sandwiches and more.

As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2024, YUM consisted of threefour operating segments:  

The KFC Division which includes our worldwide operations of the KFC concept
The Taco Bell Division which includes our worldwide operations of the Taco Bell concept
The Pizza Hut Division which includes our worldwide operations of the Pizza Hut concept
The Taco BellHabit Burger Grill Division which includes our worldwide operations of the Taco BellHabit Burger Grill concept

On
October
YUM's fiscal year begins on January 1 and ends December 31 2016 (the “Distribution Date”), we completed the spin-offof each year, with each quarter comprised of three months. The majority of our China business (the "Separation") into an independent, publicly-traded company underU.S. subsidiaries and certain international subsidiaries operate on a weekly periodic calendar where the name of Yum China Holdings, Inc. (“Yum China”). Concurrent with the Separation, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a Master License Agreement with a subsidiary of Yum China for the exclusive right to use and sublicense the use of intellectual property owned by YUM and its affiliates for the development and operation of KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell restaurants in China. Prior to the Separation, our operations in mainland China were reported in our former China Division segment results. As a result of the Separation, the results of operations and cash flows of the separated business are presented as discontinued operations in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for periods presented prior to the Separation. See additional information related to the impact of the Separation in Note 4.

Our fiscal year has historically ended on the last Saturday in December and, as a result, a 53rd week was added every five or six years. The first three quarters of each fiscal year consistedconsist of 12 weeks and the fourth quarter consistedconsists of 16 weeks in fiscal years with 52 weeks and 17 weeks in fiscal years with 53 weeks. Our U.S.For subsidiaries and certain international subsidiaries operatedthat operate on similar fiscal calendars.this weekly periodic calendar, 2024 will include a 53rd week. Our remaining international subsidiaries operatedoperate on a monthly calendar and thus never had a 53rd week, with two months in the first quarter, three months in the second and third quarters and four months in the fourth quarter. Certain international subsidiaries within our KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell divisions have historically closed approximately one month or one period earlier to facilitate consolidated reporting.

On January 27, 2017, YUM’s Board of Directors approved a change in the Company's fiscal year from a year ending on the last Saturday of December to a year beginning on January 1 and ending December 31 of each year, commencing with the year ending December 31, 2017. In connection with this change, the Company moved from a 52-week periodic fiscal calendar with three 12-week interim quarters and a 16-week fourth quarter to a monthly reporting calendar with each quarter comprised of three months. Our U.S. subsidiaries continue to report on a period calendar as described above.

Concurrent with the change in the Company's fiscal year, we also eliminated the one month or one period reporting lags of our international subsidiaries. As a result of removing these reporting lags, each international subsidiary operates either on a monthly calendar consistent with the Company’s new calendar or on a periodic calendar consistent with our U.S. subsidiaries. We believe this change in our international subsidiary reporting calendars and the resulting elimination of reporting lags is preferable because a more current reporting calendar allows the Financial Statements to more consistently and more timely reflect the impact of current events, economic conditions and global trends.

The change to the Company’s fiscal year and removal of the international reporting lags is effective in 2017. We have applied this change in accounting principle retrospectively to all prior financial periods presented and the impact of this change is summarized in Note 5. The impact of the change in accounting principle on the current period financial statements is similar to the impactthat on the prior period results discussed in Note 5.which YUM operates.



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 20162023 Form 10-K, our financial position as of September 30, 2017, our cash flows for the years to date ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, and the results of our operations and comprehensive income for the quarters and years to date ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.interim periods presented. Our results of operations, comprehensive income, and 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 certain advertising and marketing costs, generally in proportion to revenue, and the recognition of income taxes using an estimated annual effective tax rate.

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance related to stock-based compensation which is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including their income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities andclassification on the statement of cash flows. We adopted this standard beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2017.

The impact of adoption included the recognition of excess tax benefits within our income tax provision for share-based payments made of approximately $40 million and $100 million during the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Additionally, the standard requires these excess tax benefits be reported as operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as opposed to within financing activities as they have been historically reported. We elected retrospective presentation of excess tax benefits as operating cash flows for prior years. As a result, approximately $70 million of excess tax benefits previously presented as a financing activity have been reclassified to operating activities for the year to date ended September 30, 2016, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. No other provisions of this standard had a material impact on the Company's Financial Statements or disclosures.

In March 2017, the FASB issued guidance on the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost (collectively, "Benefit Costs"). The standard does not change the requirement that an employer report the service cost component of these Benefit Costs in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by employees during the period. However, the standard requires that the non-service components of these Benefit Costs be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. We early adopted the standard beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2017, on a retrospective basis. As a result, we have reclassified amounts related to non-service components of Benefit Costs from their prior Financial Statement captions (Payroll and employee benefits and General and administrative "G&A" expenses) into a new Financial Statement caption titled Other pension (income) expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The adoption of this standard does not impact Net Income.

We have reclassified certain other items in the Financial Statements for the prior periods to be comparable with the classification for the quarter ended September 30, 2017.March 31, 2024. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported Net Income.

Note 4 - Discontinued Operations

As discussed in Note 1, on October 31, 2016, the Company completed the separation of our China business.

As a result of the Separation, all royalty revenues earned by us under the Master License Agreement with Yum China that were previously eliminated in consolidation are now reflected as Franchise and license fees and income in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. For the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2016, the combined KFC and Pizza Hut Divisions' Franchise and license fees and income, as a result of the Separation, increased by $64 million and $189 million, respectively. The value added tax associated with this royalty revenue increased Franchise and license expenses for the combined KFC and Pizza Hut Divisions by $4 million and $12 million for the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The net increases in the KFC and Pizza Hut Divisions' Operating Profit were offset with a corresponding reduction in Income from discontinued operations such that there was no impact from the Separation on total Net income.

The financial results of Yum China presented in discontinued operations reflect the results of the former China Division, which was an operating segment of the Company until the Separation, adjusted for the transactions discussed above and the inclusion of certain G&A expenses, non-cash impairment charges, refranchising gains, interest and taxes that were previously not allocated to but were related to the former China Division's historical results of operations. The following table presents the financial results of the Company’s discontinued operations:

(c)Includes costs incurred to execute the Separation of $7 million and $25 million for the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2016. Such costs primarily related to transaction advisors, legal and other consulting fees.

(d)
Includes a tax benefit of $233 million recognized in the third quarter of 2016 related to previously recorded losses associated with our former Little Sheep business. The tax benefit associated with these losses was able to be recognized as a result of legal entity restructuring in anticipation of the Separation.

Cash inflows from Yum China to the Company during the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2017, related to the Master License Agreement were $63 million and $167 million, respectively, net of taxes paid, and primarily related to royalty revenues.



Note 5 - Items Affecting Comparability of Net Income and Cash Flows

Refranchising (Gain) Loss

The Refranchising (gain) loss by reportable segment is presented below. Given the size and volatility of refranchising initiatives, our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") does not consider the impact of Refranchising (gain) loss when assessing segment performance. As such, we do not allocate such gains and losses to our segments for performance reporting purposes.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, we refranchised 209 restaurants. We received $395 million in gross proceeds and recorded $201 million of net, pre-tax refranchising gains related to these transactions. During the year to date ended September 30, 2017, we refranchised 574 restaurants. We received $716 million in gross proceeds and recorded $331 million of net, pre-tax refranchising gains related to these transactions.

A summary of refranchising (gains) losses is as follows:

  Quarter ended Year to date

 $(50) $2

Worldwide $(201) $(21) $(331) $(75)


(a)During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, KFC refranchising gains related primarily to the sale of restaurants in the Netherlands and Australia. These gains were partially offset by a loss recorded related to our planned refranchising of KFC Turkey, which was classified as held-for-sale during the quarter ended September 30, 2017. While the sales price we expect to receive for KFC Turkey exceeds the carrying value of the restaurants being sold, this pending transaction would represent a substantially complete liquidation of our KFC Turkey foreign entity. Accordingly, we are required to include accumulated translation losses associated with our KFC Turkey business within our held-for-sale impairment evaluations. As such, we recorded a $51 million non-cash charge within Refranchising (gain) loss that represents the excess of the book value of our KFC Turkey business, which included the accumulated translation losses and a proportionate amount of the KFC Turkey goodwill balance, over the expected sales price.

(b)During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, we recorded a $25 million Refranchising loss related to executing a master franchising agreement that consolidated our existing Pizza Hut Korea franchise base under a single master franchisee. This loss included writing off $12 million of accumulated translation losses as this transaction resulted in a substantially complete liquidation of our Pizza Hut Korea foreign entity.

(c)Net refranchising gains for Taco Bell Division for both the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2017, relate to refranchising Taco Bell restaurants in the U.S.

In connection with our refranchising initiatives, approximately 520 KFC restaurants in Thailand, Turkey, the U.S. and France have met the criteria and were classified as held-for-sale at the end of the third quarter. As a result of classifying these assets as held-for-sale and recording any related write-downs to fair value, depreciation expense was reduced versus what would have otherwise been recorded by $5 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2017. These depreciation reductions were not allocated to the division segments resulting in depreciation expense continuing to be recorded within our Divisional results at the rate at which it was prior to the held-for-sale classification. Our CODM does not consider the impact of these depreciation reductions when assessing segment performance.

KFC U.S. Acceleration Agreement

During 2015, we reached an agreement with our KFC U.S. franchisees that gave us brand marketing control as well as an accelerated path to expanded menu offerings, improved assets and enhanced customer experience. In connection with this agreement we are investing approximately $120 million from 2015 through 2018 primarily to fund new back-of-house equipment for franchisees and to provide incentives to accelerate franchisee store remodels. We recorded pre-tax charges of $4 million and less than $1 million for the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, for these investments. We recorded pre-tax charges of


$12 million and $17 million for the years to date ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. These amounts were recorded primarily as Franchise and license expenses. We recorded total pre-tax charges of $98 million during the two year period ended December 31, 2016, and we currently expect a total pre-tax charge of approximately $15 million in 2017 for these investments. Due to their size and unique and long-term brand building nature, our CODM does not consider the impact of these investments when assessing segment performance. As such, these charges are not being allocated to the KFC Division segment operating results.

In addition to the investments above, we agreed to fund $60 million of incremental system advertising from 2015 through 2018. During both of the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we incurred $5 million in incremental system advertising expense. During both the years to date ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we incurred $14 million in incremental system advertising expense. We funded approximately $30 million of such advertising during the two year period ended December 31, 2016. We currently expect to fund approximately $20 million of such advertising in 2017 and $10 million in 2018. All of these advertising amounts were recorded primarily in Franchise and license expenses and are included in the KFC Division segment operating results.

YUM's Strategic Transformation Initiatives

In October 2016, we announced our strategic transformation plans to drive global expansion of the KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell brands ("YUM's Strategic Transformation Initiatives") following the then anticipated separation of our China business on October 31, 2016. Major features of the Company’s growth and transformation strategy involve being more focused on the development of our three brands, increasing our franchise ownership and creating a leaner, more efficient cost structure. During the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recognized pre-tax charges of $4 million and $30 million, respectively, related to these initiatives. During the years to date ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recognized pre-tax charges of $15 million and $34 million, respectively. These costs primarily related to severance and relocation costs that were recorded within G&A expenses. Due to the scope of the initiatives as well as their significance, our CODM does not consider the impact of these initiatives when assessing segment performance. As such, costs associated with the initiatives are not being allocated to any segment for performance reporting purposes.

Pizza Hut U.S. Transformation Agreement

In May 2017, we reached an agreement with Pizza Hut U.S. franchisees that will improve brand marketing alignment, accelerate enhancements in operations and technology and includes a permanent commitment to incremental advertising and digital and technology contributions by franchisees. In connection with this agreement, we anticipate investing approximately $90 million to upgrade restaurant equipment to improve operations, fund improvements in restaurant technology and enhance digital and e-commerce capabilities. We currently expect the majority of this investment will be split between 2017 and 2018. During the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2017, we recorded pre-tax charges of $8 million and $20 million, respectively, within Franchise and license expenses or G&A expenses and capitalized $4 million of costs primarily related to digital and e-commerce initiatives. Due to their unique and long-term brand-building nature, our CODM does not consider the impact of these investments when assessing segment performance. As such, these investments are not being allocated to the Pizza Hut Division segment operating results.

In addition to the investments above, we have agreed to fund incremental system advertising dollars of approximately $25 million in the second half of 2017 and $12.5 million in 2018. During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, we incurred $10 million in related incremental system advertising expense. These advertising amounts were recorded primarily in Franchise and license expenses and are included in Pizza Hut's segment operating results.

Modifications of Share-based Compensation Awards

In connection with the Separation, we modified certain share-based compensation awards held as part of our Executive Income Deferral ("EID") Plan in phantom shares of YUM Common Stock to provide one phantom Yum China share-based award for each outstanding phantom YUM share-based award. These Yum China awards may now be settled in cash, as opposed to stock, which requires recognition of the fair value of these awards each quarter within G&A expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Income Statement. During the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2017, we recorded pre-tax charges related to these awards of less than $1 million and $18 million, respectively, due to appreciation in the market price of Yum China's stock. Given these charges were a direct result of the Separation, our CODM does not consider their impact when assessing segment performance. As such, these costs are not being allocated to any of our segment operating results.



Impact of Change in Reporting Calendar

As discussed in Note 1, we have changed our fiscal year from a year ending on the last Saturday of December to a year beginning on January 1 and ending on December 31 of each year commencing with the year ending December 31, 2017. We also removed the monthly or period reporting lags certain of our international subsidiaries historically used to report results. The impacts on our Financial Statements of retrospectively applying these changes are included below:

(a)Amount does not reconcile to our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2016 due to the impact of retrospectively adopting a new accounting standard on Benefit Costs of $1 million and $2 million, respectively. See Note 1.

Except for a decrease in cash provided by financing activities of $674 million primarily attributable to the repurchase of Common Stock, the impacts to the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as a result of the change in reporting calendar were not significant.



Non-cash Pension Adjustment

During the first quarter of 2017, as a result of the completion of a pension data review and reconciliation, we recorded a non-cash, out-of-year charge of $22 million to Other pension (income) expense to adjust our historical U.S. pension liability related to our deferred vested participants. Our CODM does not consider the impact of this charge when assessing segment performance given the number of years over which it accumulated. As such, this cost is not being allocated to any of our segment operating results.

Our estimated effective tax rate for the full fiscal year is lowerexpected to be higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35%21%, primarily due to the majority of ourstate income beingtaxes and U.S. taxes on foreign earnings partially offset by taxes on income earned outside the U.S. wherein foreign jurisdictions with statutory tax rates are generally lower than the U.S. rate.below 21%.

Our thirdThe first quarter and year to date effective tax rates wererate was lower than the prior year primarily due to favorable developments in the inclusion of approximately $40 million and $100 million of excess tax benefits on share-based payments for thecurrent quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2017, respectively. See Note 1 for discussion related to the adoption of a new accounting standard on share-based payments in the quarter ended March 31, 2017. These excess benefits were largelyuncertain tax positions as well as favorability associated with the deferredhigher tax deductions for share-based compensation, payouts to recently retired employees. Our effective tax rates were also favorably impacted by previously recorded pre-tax losses for which we were able to recognize a tax benefit in the quarter ended September 30, 2017 as a result of an international refranchising transaction. These favorable impacts were partially offset by higher taxes paid in foreign jurisdictions where our intellectual property rights are domiciled.

Note 109 - Pension Benefits

We sponsor qualified and supplemental (non-qualified) noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering certain full-time salaried and hourly U.S. employees. The most significant of these plans, the YUM Retirement Plan (the "Plan"“Plan”), is qualified and funded. We fund our other U.S. plans as benefits are paid. TheOur two significant U.S. plans, including the Plan and our most significant non-qualifieda supplemental plan, were previously amended such that any salaried employee hired or rehired by YUM after September 30, 2001, is not eligible to participate in those plans. Additionally, these two plans in the U.S. are currently closed to new salariedhourly participants.

Subsequent to the first quarter, on April 26, 2024, KFC Holding Co., Pizza Hut Holdings, LLC a limited liability company, and Taco Bell of America, LLC a limited liability company,(collectively, the "Borrowers"), each of which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as co-borrowers (the “Borrowers”) completed the repricingrefinancing of the then existing $1.99 billionoutstanding $713 million under the Term Loan BA Facility and $1.25 billion capacity under the Revolving Facility through the issuance of a $500 million term loan A facility and a $1.5 billion revolving facility pursuant to an amendment to the Credit Agreement (as defined in our 20162023 Form 10-K). The amendment reducestransaction did not add any additional net new debt to the interest rate applicableCompany's Balance Sheet. The new term loan A facility and the revolving facility will mature on the earliest of (i) April 26, 2029, (ii) the date that is 91 days prior to the March 15, 2028 maturity of the Borrowers’ existing Term Loan B Facility by 75 basis points to LIBOR plus 2.00%, with an additional rate stepdown to LIBOR plus 1.75% in the event the secured net leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is lessif more than 1 to 1.

The maturityremains outstanding as of such date and all other material provisions under(iii) the Credit Agreement remained unchanged as a result of this amendment.

Further, the Term Loan A Facility and $1 billion underAmendment removes the Revolving Facility pursuant to an amendmentexcess cash flow mandatory prepayment requirement with respect to the Credit Agreement. The amendment reduced the interest rate applicable to the Term Loannew term loan A Facility and for borrowings under the Revolving Facility by 75 basis points. Subsequent to the repricing the interest rate ranges from 1.25% to 1.75% plus LIBOR or from 0.25% to 0.75% plus the Base Rate, at the Borrower’s election, based upon the total net leverage ratio of the Borrowers and the Specified Guarantors (as defined in the Credit Agreement). As a result of repricing the Term Loan A Facility, $146 million in principal was assigned to new lenders or existing lenders electing to increase their holdings in the loan. There was no change in lender participation in the Revolving Facility. The maturity date for the Term Loan A Facility and the Revolving Facility has been extended to June 7, 2022. Amortization payments on the Term Loan A Facility will begin one full fiscal quarter after the first anniversary of the amendment effective date, which delays the original amortization schedule by approximately one year.facility. All other material provisions underof the Credit Agreement remainedremain unchanged.

As a result of these repricing transactions, $23 million of fees were capitalized as debt issuance costs and are included primarily within Long-term debt on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2017. During the year to date ended September 30, 2017, $8 million of fees and unamortized debt issuance costs were recognized within Interest expense, net due to these repricings.

On June 15, 2017, the Borrowers issued $750 million aggregate principal amount of 4.75% Senior Notes due June 1, 2027 (the “2027 Notes”). Interest on the 2027 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1, beginning on December 1, 2017. The 2027 Notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by (i) the Company, (ii) the Specified Guarantors and (iii) by each of the Borrower’s and the Specified Guarantors’ domestic subsidiaries that guarantee the Borrower’s obligations under the Credit Agreement, except for any of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries. The indenture governing the Notes contains covenants and events of default that are customary for debt securities of this type. In connection with the issuance of the 2027 Notes, the Company paid debt issuance costs of $9 million. These issuance costs are primarily recorded as a reduction in Long-term debt


on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Subsequent to the quarter end, on October 16, 2017 Taco Bell Funding, LLC terminated the revolving financing facility of Series 2016-1 Senior Notes, Class A-1, which allowed for the borrowing of up to $100 million including the issuance of up to $50 million in letters of credit.
Details of our short-term borrowings and long-term debt as of December 31, 2016 can be found within our 2016 Form 10-K. Cash paid for interest during the years to datequarter ended September 30, 2017 and 2016March 31, 2024, was $275 million and $150 million, respectively.$101 million. Cash paid for interest during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was $104 million.


Note 1211 - Derivative Instruments

We use derivative instruments to manage certain of our market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. Our use of foreign currency contracts to manage foreign currency exchange rates associated with certain foreign currency denominated intercompany receivables and payables is currently not significant.

Interest Rate Swaps

We enterhave 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.payments primarily under our Term Loan B Facility. At September 30, 2017both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2016, our2023, we had interest rate swaps outstanding hadexpiring in March 2025 with notional amounts of $1.55$1.5 billion. These interest rate swaps will expire in July 2021 and arehave been designated cash flow hedges as the changes in the future cash flows of the swaps are expected to offset changes in expected future interest payments on the related variable-rate debt. There were no other interest rate swaps outstanding as of September 30, 2017.March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

The effective portion of gainsGains or losses on the interest rate swaps isare reported as a component of Accumulated OCI ("AOCI")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. Gains or losses on the swaps representing hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings. Through September 30, 2017,March 31, 2024, the swaps were highly effective cash flow hedges.

Gains and losses on these interest rate swaps recognized in OCI and reclassifications from AOCI into Net Income were as follows:

As of March 31, 2024, the estimated net gain included in AOCI related to our cash flow hedges and no ineffectiveness has been recorded.that will be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months is $28 million, based on current Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") interest rates.

Foreign Currency ContractsTotal Return Swaps

We enterhave entered into foreign currency forward andtotal return swap derivative contracts, with the objective of reducing our exposure to earnings volatility arising from foreign currency fluctuationsmarket-driven changes in certain of the liabilities associated with certain foreign currency denominated intercompany receivables and payables. The notional amount, maturity date, and currencycompensation 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 contracts match thosederivatives are recognized immediately in earnings within General and administrative expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income largely offsetting the underlying intercompany receivables or payables. These 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.

the associated EID liabilities. The effective portionfair value associated with the total return swaps as of gains or losses on the foreign currency contracts is 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. Gains or losses on the foreign currency contracts representing hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in current earnings. Through September 30, 2017, all foreign currency forward and swap contracts related to intercompany receivables and payables were highly effective cash flow hedges and no ineffectiveness has been recorded.

As of September 30, 2017,both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2016, foreign currency forward and swap contracts outstanding related to intercompany receivables and payables had total notional amounts of $452 million and $437 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2017 these foreign currency forward and swap contracts have durations expiring as early as 2017 and as late as 2020.2023, was not significant.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, we entered into foreign currency forward contracts with U.S. dollar notional amounts of $319 million to reduce the volatility of certain expected Thai Baht denominated proceeds related to our refranchising of KFC Thailand. These forward contracts are designated as a net investment hedge of our foreign operations to the extent that we have foreign currency denominated net assets. The mark-to-market adjustments associated with the portion of the forward contracts designated as a net investment hedge are recorded as a cumulative translation adjustment within AOCI. Forward contracts related to expected proceeds that exceed our net foreign investment do not qualify for hedge accounting. The mark-to-market adjustments associated with the portion of the forward contracts which exceeds our net foreign investment are recorded as Refranchising (gain) loss as the objective of the forwards are to provide an economic hedge related to expected foreign currency refranchising proceeds. These foreign currency forward contracts did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, and will mature in December 2017.



As a result of the use of derivative instruments, 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 carefully selected major financial institutions carefully selected based upon their credit ratings and other factors, and continually assess the creditworthiness of counterparties. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2024, all of the counterparties to our interest rate swaps and foreign currency contractsderivative instruments had investment grade ratings

Note 1312 - Fair Value Disclosures

As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2024, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings and accounts payable and borrowings under our Revolving Facility approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of our notes receivable, net of allowances, and lease guarantees, less subsequent amortizationreserves for expected losses, approximates their carrying value.

Note 1413 - Contingencies

Internal Revenue Service Proposed Adjustment

As a result of an audit by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for fiscal years 2013 through 2015, in August 2022, we received a Revenue Agent’s Report (“RAR”) from the IRS asserting an underpayment of tax of $2.1 billion plus $418 million in penalties for the 2014 fiscal year. Additionally, interest on the underpayment is estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion through the first quarter of 2024. The proposed underpayment relates primarily to a series of reorganizations we undertook during that year in connection with the business realignment of our corporate and management reporting structure along brand lines. The IRS asserts that these transactions resulted in taxable distributions of approximately $6.0 billion.

We disagree with the IRS’s position as asserted in the RAR and intend to contest that position vigorously. In September 2022, we filed a Protest with the IRS Examination Division disputing on multiple grounds the proposed underpayment of tax and penalties.We have received the IRS Examination Division’s Rebuttal to our Protest and the case has been accepted by the IRS Office of Appeals.

The Company does not expect resolution of this matter within twelve months and cannot predict with certainty the timing of such resolution. The Company believes that it is more likely than not the Company’s tax position will be sustained; therefore, no reserve is recorded with respect to this matter.

An unfavorable resolution of this matter could have a material, adverse impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in future periods.

Lease Guarantees

As a result of having assigned our interest in obligations under real estate leases as a condition to the refranchising of certain CompanyCompany-owned restaurants, and guaranteeing certain other leases, we are frequently contingentlysecondarily liable on lease agreements.  These leases have varying terms, the latest of which expires in 2065.  As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2024, the potential amount of undiscounted payments we could be required to make in the event of non-payment by the primary lesseeslessee was approximately $550 million.$375 million. The present value of these potential payments discounted at our pre-tax cost of debt at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2024, was approximately $470 million.$300 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 agreementsagreement in the event of non-payment under the leases.lease.  We believe these cross-default provisions significantly reduce the risk that we will be required to make payments under these leases.  Accordingly,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 probable exposureexpected losses under such leases as of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2024, was not material.

Franchise Loan Pool and Equipment Guarantees

We have agreed to provide financial support, if required, to a variable interest entity that operates a franchisee lending program used primarily to assist franchisees in the development of new restaurants or the upgrade of existing restaurants and, to a lesser extent, in connection with the Company’s refranchising programs in the U.S. We have determined that we are not required to consolidate this entity as we share the power to direct this entity’s lending activity with other parties. We have provided guarantees of 20% of the outstanding loans of the franchisee loan program. As such, at September 30, 2017, our guarantee exposure under this program is approximately $3 million based on total loans outstanding of $17 million.



In addition to the guarantees described above, we have provided guarantees of up to approximately
$43 million on behalf of franchisees for several financing programs related to specific initiatives.  At September 30, 2017, our guarantee exposure under these financing programs is approximately $7 million based on total loans outstanding under these financing programs of $13 million.

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.

India Regulatory Matter

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.

18


On January 29, 2020, the Special Director issued an order imposing a penalty on YRIPL and certain former directors of approximately Indian Rupee 11 billion, or approximately $135 million. Of this amount, $130 million relates to the alleged failure to invest a total of $80 million in India within an initial seven-year period. We have been advised by external counsel that the order is flawed and have filed a writ petition with the Delhi High Court, which granted an interim stay of the penalty order on March 5, 2020. In November 2022, YRIPL was notified that an administrative tribunal bench had been constituted to hear an appeal by DOE of certain findings of the January 2020 order, including claims that certain charges had been wrongly dropped and that an insufficient amount of penalty had been imposed. A hearing with the administrative tribunal that had been scheduled for March 4, 2024 has been rescheduled to July 30, 2024. A hearing held on March 21, 2024, before the Delhi High Court has been continued to July 4, 2024, and the stay order remains in effect. We deny liability and intend to continue vigorously defending this matter. We do not consider the risk of any significant loss arising from this order to be probable.

Other Matters

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.

Note 14 - Subsequent Event

KFC U.K. and Ireland Store Acquisition

On April 29, 2024, we completed the previously announced acquisition of 216 KFC restaurants from a franchisee in the U.K. and Ireland. Consideration for this acquisition consists of approximately $180 million in cash, subject to customary post-closing adjustments.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Introduction and Overview

Yum! Brands, Inc. (“YUM” or the “Company”) operates or franchises a worldwide system of over 44,000 restaurants in 137 countries and territories, primarily through the concepts of KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. These three concepts are the global leaders in the chicken, pizza and Mexican-style food categories, respectively. Of the over 44,000 restaurants, 5% are operated by the Company and its subsidiaries and 95% are operated by franchisees.

This 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, 20162023, (“20162023 Form 10-K”). ReferencesAll Note references herein refer to YUM throughout this discussionthe Notes to the Financial Statements.  Tabular amounts are madedisplayed in first person notationsmillions 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.”“our”) franchise or operate a system of over 59,000 restaurants in more than 155 countries and territories, primarily under the concepts of KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and The Habit Burger Grill (collectively, the “Concepts”).  The Company’s KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut brands are global leaders of the chicken, Mexican-style and pizza categories, respectively. The Habit Burger Grill, is a fast-casual restaurant concept specializing in made-to-order chargrilled burgers, sandwiches and more. Of the over 59,000 restaurants, 98% are operated by franchisees.

YUM currently consists of three reportingfour operating segments:

The KFC Division which includes our worldwide operations of the KFC concept
The Taco Bell Division which includes our worldwide operations of the Taco Bell concept
The Pizza Hut Division which includes our worldwide operations of the Pizza Hut concept
The Taco BellHabit Burger Grill Division which includes our worldwide operations of the Taco BellHabit Burger Grill concept

On October 31, 2016 (the “Distribution Date”),Through our Good Growth Strategy we completedintend to unlock the spin-offgrowth potential of our China business (the "Separation") into an independent, publicly-traded company under the nameConcepts and YUM, drive increased collaboration across our Concepts and geographies and consistently deliver better customer experiences, improved unit economics and higher rates of Yum China Holdings, Inc. (“Yum China”). Concurrent with the Separation, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a Master License Agreement with a subsidiary of Yum China for the exclusive right to use and sublicense thegrowth. Key enablers include accelerated use of intellectual property owned by YUMtechnology and its affiliates for the developmentbetter leverage of our systemwide scale.

Our global citizenship and operation of KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell restaurants in China. Prior to the Separation, our operations in mainland China were reportedsustainability strategy is reflected in our former China Division segment results. As a result of the Separation, the results of operationsGood agenda, which includes our priorities for social responsibility, risk management and cash flows of the separated business are presented as discontinued operations in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for periods prior to the Separation. See additional information related to the impact of the Separation in Note 4.

On October 11, 2016, we announced our strategic transformation plans to drive global expansionsustainable stewardship of our KFC, Pizza Hutpeople, food and Taco Bell brands (“YUM’s Strategic Transformation Initiatives”) following the Separation. Major features of the Company’s transformation and growth strategy involve being more focused, franchised and efficient. YUM’s Strategic Transformation Initiatives below represent the continuation of YUM’s transformation of its operating model and capital structure.planet.  

More Focused. Four growth drivers will form the basis of YUM’s strategic plans and repeatable business model to accelerate same-store sales growth and net-new restaurant development at KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell around the world over the long term. The Company will focusOur Growth agenda is based on becoming best-in-class in:four key drivers:
Building Distinctive, Relevant and Easy Brands
Developing Unmatched Franchise Operating Capability
Driving Bold Restaurant Development
Growing Unrivaled Culture and TalentTalent: 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
More Franchised. YUM intends to increaseRelevant, Easy and Distinctive Brands: Innovate and elevate iconic restaurant brands people trust and champion
Bold Restaurant Development: Drive market and franchise restaurant ownership to at least 98% by the end of 2018.unit expansion with strong economics and value

More Efficient. The Company intends to revamp its financial profile, improving the efficiency of its organization and cost structure globally, by:
Reducing annual capital expenditures to approximately $100 million in 2019;
Reducing 2015 General and administrative ("G&A") expenses by a cumulative ~$300 million by 2019; and
Maintaining an optimized capital structure of ~5.0x Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) leverage.

From 2017 through 2019, we intend to return $6.5 - $7.0 billion to shareholders through share repurchases and cash dividends. We intend to fund these shareholder returns through a combination of refranchising proceeds, free cash flow generation and maintenance of our five times EBITDA leverage. We anticipate generating proceeds in excess of $2 billion, net of tax, through our refranchising initiatives. Refer to the Liquidity and Capital Resources section of this MD&A for additional details.


Beginning in 2017, we have changed our fiscal year from a year ending on the last Saturday of December to a year beginning on January 1 and ending on December 31 of each year. Concurrently, we have removed the reporting lags from the fiscal calendars of our international subsidiaries. See Notes 1 and 5.

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, 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. The Company provides certain percentage changessystem 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). Same-store sales growth excludes, for subsidiaries operating on a monthly calendar, the extra day resulting from a leap year and excludes, for subsidiaries operating on a weekly periodic calendar, the last week of the year in fiscal years with 53 weeks. 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.

Gross unit openings reflects new openings by us and our franchisees. Net new unit growth reflects gross 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 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
20


has substantial and sustainable sales. We believe gross unit openings and net new unit growth are useful to investors because we depend on new units for a significant portion of our growth. Additionally, gross unit openings and net new unit growth are 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 impactimpacts of foreign currency translation (“FX” or “Forex”).  These amounts are derived by translating current year results at prior year average exchange rates.  We believe the elimination of the foreign currency translation impact provides better year-to-year comparability without the distortion of foreign currency fluctuations.

System sales and system sales growth include reflect the results of all restaurants regardless of ownership, including company-ownedCompany-owned and franchise restaurants that operate our Concepts.restaurants. Sales ofat 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, theany resulting franchise and license fees we receive are included in the Company’sCompany's revenues. We believe system sales and systemSystem sales growth areis useful to investors as a significant indicatorsindicator of the overall strength of our business as they incorporate all ofit incorporates our primary revenue drivers, Company and franchise same-store sales as well as net unit growth.

Same-store sales growth is the estimated percentage change in sales of all restaurants that have been open and in the YUM system one year or more.

Net new units represents new unit openings, offset by store closures.

Company restaurant profit ("Restaurant profit") is defined as Company sales less expenses incurred directly by our Company-owned restaurants in generating Company sales.  Company restaurant margin as a percentage of sales is defined as Restaurant profit divided by Company sales. Within the Company Sales and Restaurant Profit sections of this MD&A, Store Portfolio Actions represent the net impact of new unit openings, acquisitions, refranchising and store closures, and Other primarily represents the impact of same-store sales as well as the impact of changes in costs such as inflation/deflation.

Operating margin is Operating Profit divided by Total revenues.

In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"in the United States of America (GAAP), the Company has providedprovides the following non-GAAP measurements which present measurements:

Diluted Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations excluding Special Items our (as defined below);

Effective Tax Rate excluding Special Items, System Sales and 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. Special Items are not included in anyinternally;

Company restaurant profit and Company restaurant margin as a percentage of our Division segment results, and we believe the elimination of the FX impact from Core Operating Profit provides better year-to-year comparability without the distortion of foreign currency fluctuations. 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 Diluted Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations excluding Special Items, our Effective Tax Rate excluding Special Items, System Sales and Core Operating Profit,these non-GAAP measurements provide additional information to investors to facilitate the comparison of past and present operations, excluding items thatoperations.

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.

All Note references herein referCompany 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 Notesprofitability 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 Financial Statements.  Tabularindustry.

(a)    Due to their size and volatility, we have reflected as Special Items increased 22%those refranchising gains and losses that were recorded in connection with market-wide refranchisings. During the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we recorded net refranchising losses of $3 million and net refranchising gains of $3 million, respectively, that have been reflected as Special Items.

Additionally, we recorded net refranchising gains of $8 million and $1 million during the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, that have not been reflected as Special Items. These net refranchising gains relate to $0.68 per share.refranchising of restaurants unrelated to market-wide refranchisings that we believe are indicative of our expected ongoing refranchising activity.


(b)In April 2023, we completed our exit from the Russia market by selling the KFC business in Russia to Smart Service Ltd. Our GAAP operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 presented herein reflect revenues from and expenses to support the Russian operations for KFC prior to the date of sale, 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 of Ukraine to humanitarian efforts, we reclassed such net operating profits or losses from the KFC Division segment results to Unallocated Other income (expense). Additionally, we incurred certain expenses related to the disposition of the business and other one-time costs related to our exit from Russia which we recorded within Corporate and unallocated G&A and Unallocated Franchise and property expenses. The resulting net Operating Loss of $3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 has been reflected as a Special Item.

For(c)We recorded charges of $21 million and $3 million during the yearquarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, to General and administrative expenses related to a resource optimization program. This program has allowed us to reallocate significant resources to accelerate our digital, technology and innovation capabilities to deliver a modern, world-class team member and customer experience and improve unit economics. We have recently expanded the program to identify further opportunities to optimize the Company’s spending and identify additional, critical areas in which to potentially reallocate resources, both with a goal to enable the acceleration of the Company’s growth rate. Costs incurred to date ended September 30, 2017, GAAP diluted EPS from continuing operations increased 46%related to $2.52 per share,the program primarily include severance associated with positions that have been eliminated or relocated and diluted EPS from continuing operations, excludingconsultant fees. Due to their scope and size, these charges have been reflected as Special Items.

Middle East Conflict

Additionally:During the fourth quarter of 2023, certain of our markets, principally in our KFC and Pizza Hut Divisions, began being impacted by a military conflict in the Middle East region. While the impacts from the Middle East conflict have been scattered and difficult to measure, we believe the markets most impacted by the conflict, which include markets in the Middle East, Indonesia and Malaysia, collectively created a low single-digit headwind to YUM's overall same-store sales growth during the quarter ended March 31, 2024. We continue to expect this impact to decrease with sales improving in the most impacted markets over the balance of 2024.

Impact of Foreign Currency Translation on Operating Profit

Changes in foreign currency exchange rates negatively impacted the translation of our foreign currency denominated Divisional Operating Profit by $11 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. This included a negative impact to our KFC Division Operating Profit of $10 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. We currently expect changes in foreign currency to negatively impact Divisional Operating Profit by approximately $20 to $30 million on a full-year basis.

Investment in Devyani

During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, we opened 362 net new unitssold our approximate 5% minority investment in Devyani International Limited ("Devyani"), a franchise entity that operates KFC and year to date, we opened 677 net new units for 3% net new unit growth.

During the quarter, we refranchised 209 restaurants, including 72 KFC, 46 Pizza Hut and 91 Taco Bell units,restaurants in India, for pre-tax proceeds of $395$104 million. We recorded refranchising gainsChanges in the fair value of $201our ownership interest in Devyani prior to the date of sale resulted in pre-tax investment losses of $20 million and $23 million in Special Items. During the year to date, we refranchised 574 restaurants, including 143 KFC, 245 Pizza Hutquarters ended March 31, 2024 and 186 Taco Bell units, for proceeds of $716 million. We recorded refranchising gains of $331 million in Special Items.2023, respectively.

During the quarter, we repurchased 6.6 million shares totaling $501 million at an average price of $75. During the year to date we repurchased 19.1 million shares totaling $1.3 billion at an average share price of $69. As of quarter end, there was $588 million remaining in share repurchase authorization through year end 2017.

Foreign currency translation impacted divisional operating profit favorably for the quarter by $2 million and negatively year to date by $9 million.

Significant Known Events, Trends or Uncertainties Expected to Impact Future Results

We have refranchised a significant number of restaurants since the announcement of YUM’s Strategic Transformation Initiatives in October 2016,lower borrowings and anticipate additional, significant refranchising will occur in the fourth quarter of 2017. The impact on Operating profit due to refranchising includes the loss of restaurant profit, which reflects the decrease in Company sales, and the increase in franchise fees from restaurants that have been refranchised. We expect to reduce G&A, including reductions directly attributable to refranchising, such that, upon completion of YUM’s Strategic Transformation Initiatives in 2019, on an annual basis, the impact of lost Operating profit from refranchising will behigher interest income, partially offset by G&A reductions we are making. However, we expect that Operating profit will be negatively impacted in the quarter ended December 31, 2017 and throughout 2018 as certain G&A reductions lag the loss of Operating profit due to refranchising. Additionally, our fiscal year 2016 included 53 weeks for our U.S businesses and for our international subsidiaries that report on a period calendar. We expect the lapping of the prior year’s 53higher weighted-average interest rate.
rd week and the impact of refranchising, net of G&A reductions, to negatively impact Core Operating Profit growth for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 by 10 to 12 percentage points.

Additionally, we anticipate that $15 million of incremental Pizza Hut media investment (see Note 5) will be incurred in the quarter ended December 31, 2017, negatively impacting Core Operating Profit growth by an incremental 3 percentage points.

Net cash provided by investing activitieswas $489$45 million in 2017 versus2024 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $127$56 million in 2016.2023. The change was primarily driven by higher proceeds from refranchisingthe sale of restaurants.our approximate 5% minority investment in Devyani in 2024.

Net cash used in financing activitieswas $1,029$247 million in 20172024 versus net cash provided by financing activities of $442$334 million in 2016.2023. The change was primarily driven by lower net borrowings, partially offset by lowerdebt repayments and lapping prior year share repurchases.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In October 2016, we announced YUM’s Strategic Transformation Initiatives to drive global expansion of the KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell brands following the Separation on October 31, 2016. As part of this transformation, we intend to own less than 1,000


stores by the end of 2018 and, by 2019, reduce annual recurring capital expenditures to approximately $100 million, improve our efficiency by lowering G&A expenses to 1.7% of system sales and increase free cash flow conversion to 100%.

From 2017 through 2019, we intend to return $6.5 to $7.0 billion to shareholders through share repurchases and cash dividends. We intend to fund these shareholder returns through a combination of free cash flow generation, refranchising proceeds and maintenance of our five times EBITDA leverage. We anticipate generating proceeds in excess of $2 billion, net of tax, through the refranchising of over 2,000 stores during 2017 and 2018. During the year to date ended September 30, 2017, we repurchased 19 million shares of our Common Stock for $1.3 billion and paid cash dividends of $315 million.

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.investment, and from the operations of our Company-owned stores. Our annual operating cash flows from continuing operations have approximated $1.2been in excess of $1.3 billion in each of the past three years. Going forward,five years and we anticipateexpect that any decreaseto continue to be the case in 2024. It is our intent to use these operating cash flows from the operation of fewer Company-owned stores due to refranchising will be offsetcontinue to invest in growing our business and pay a competitive dividend, with savings generated from decreased capital investment and G&A expense requiredany remaining excess then returned to support company operations.shareholders through share repurchases. To the extent operating cash flows plus other sources of cash such as refranchising proceeds do not cover our anticipated cash needs, we maintain approximately $1a $1.25 billion Revolving Facility under our Credit Agreement that was undrawn as of undrawnMarch 31, 2024. The borrowing capacity under our existing revolving facilities.

Our balance sheet often reflects a working capital deficit, which is not uncommon in our industry and is also historically common for YUM. Company sales are paid in cash or by credit card (which is quickly converted into cash) and our royalty receivables from franchisees are generally due within 30 daysRevolving Facility was increased to $1.5 billion as part of the periodApril 2024 refinancing of the Credit Agreement as discussed in which the related sales occur. Substantial amounts of cash received have historically been either invested in new restaurant assets which are non-current in nature or returned to shareholders. As part of our working capital strategy we negotiate favorable credit terms with vendors and, as a result, our on-hand inventory turns faster than the related short-term liabilities. Accordingly, it is not unusual for current liabilities to exceed current assets.Note 10. We believe such a deficit has no significant impact onthat our liquidity or operations.

We generate a significant amount ofongoing cash from operating activities outside the U.S. that we have used historicallyoperations, cash on hand, which was approximately $650 million at March 31, 2024, and availability under our Revolving Facility will be sufficient to fund our international development. Tocash requirements over the extentnext twelve months.

There have been no material changes to the disclosures made in Item 7 of the Company's 2023 Form 10-K regarding our material cash requirements. Due to the ongoing significance of our debt obligations, we have needed to repatriate international cash to fundare providing the update below.

Debt Instruments

As of March 31, 2024, approximately 94%, including the impact of interest rate swaps, of our U.S. discretionary cash spending, including returns to shareholders$11.2 billion of total debt outstanding, excluding finance leases and debt repayments, we have historically been able to do so in a tax-efficient manner. If we experienceissuance costs and discounts, is fixed with an unforeseen decrease in our cash flows from our U.S. businesses or are unable to refinance future U.S. debt maturities we may be required to repatriate future international earnings at tax rates higher than we have historically experienced.

Borrowing Capacity

Securitization Notes. In May 2016, Taco Bell Funding, LLC, a newly formed special purpose subsidiaryeffective overall interest rate of approximately 4.6%. We ended the Company, issued an aggregate of $2.3 billion of fixed rate senior secured notes (“Class A-2 Notes”). In connection with the issuance of the Class A-2 Notes, Taco Bell Funding, LLC also issued variable rate notes (the “Variable Funding Notes” and, together with the Class A-2 Notes, the “Securitization Notes”) pursuant to a new revolving financing facility, which allowed for the borrowing of up to $100 million including the issuance of letters of credit of up to $50 million. We have no outstanding borrowings related to the Variable Funding Notes and have $11 million in letters of credit outstanding as of September 30, 2017 related to the facility. 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. On October 16, 2017, Taco Bell Funding, LLC terminated the Variable Funding Notes.

Credit Agreement. On June 16, 2016, three wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, KFC Holding Co., Pizza Hut Holdings, LLC and Taco Bell of America, LLC, as co-borrowers (the "Borrowers") entered into a new credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) providing for the following (each of which may be increased subject to certain conditions): (i) a $500 million Term Loan A facility (the “Term Loan A Facility”), (ii) a $2 billion Term Loan B facility (the “Term Loan B Facility”) and (iii) a $1 billion revolving facility (the “Revolving Facility”), which has outstanding borrowings of $35 million and has $4 million in letters of credit outstanding as of September 30, 2017. 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 subsidiariesquarter with a principal amount in excess of $100 million will constitute an event of default under the Credit Agreement.

On March 21, 2017, the Borrowers entered in an amendment to the Credit Agreement pursuant to which the Company repriced its existing approximately $2 billion Term Loan B Facility. The amendment reduces the interest rate applicable to the Term Loan B Facility by 75 basis points to LIBOR plus 2.00%, with a rate stepdown to LIBOR plus 1.75% in the event the Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is less than 1:1.

On June 7, 2017, the Borrowers entered in an amendment to the Credit Agreement pursuant to which the Company repriced its existing $500 million Term Loan A Facility and $1 billion Revolving Facility. The amendment reduces the interest rate for the


Term Loan A Facility and for borrowings under the Revolving Facility by 75 basis points. Subsequent to the repricing the interest rate ranges from 1.25% to 1.75% plus LIBOR or from 0.25% to 0.75% plus the Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), at the Borrower’s election, based upon the totalconsolidated net leverage ratio of 4.1x EBITDA. We continually reassess our optimal leverage ratio to maximize shareholder returns. We target a capital structure 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).

Subsidiary Senior Unsecured Notes.
On June 16, 2016, the Borrowersissued an aggregate of $1.05 billion Senior Unsecured Notes due 2024 and an aggregate of $1.05 billion Senior Unsecured Notes due 2026. On June 15, 2017, the Borrowers issued an aggregate of $750 million Senior Unsecured Notes due June 1, 2027 (together, the “Subsidiary Senior Unsecured Notes”). 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.

The majority of our remaining long-term debt primarily comprises senior, unsecured obligations ("YUM Senior Unsecured Notes"), which rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness. The YUM Senior Unsecured Notes have varying maturity dates from 2018 through 2043 and stated interest rates ranging from 3.75% to 6.88%. Amounts outstanding under YUM Senior Unsecured Notes were $2.2 billion at September 30, 2017. Our YUM Senior Unsecured Notes contain cross-default provisions whereby the acceleration of the maturity of any of our indebtedness in a principal amount in excess of $50 million will constitute a 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. We were in compliance with all of our debt covenant requirements at September 30, 2017.

See Note 11 for additional detail regarding our Short-term borrowings and Long-term debt.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

The FASB has issued standards to provide principles within a single framework for revenue recognition of transactionsinvolving contracts with customers across all industries. These standards allow for either a full retrospective or modified retrospective transition method. We are required to adopt the new standards in the first quarter of 2018 and are evaluating which transition method we will utilize.

We do not believe these standards will impactIn November 2023, the recognition of our two largest sources of revenue, sales in company-owned restaurants and sales-based continuing fees from franchisees. Additionally, we do not expect the new standards will materially impact the recognition of refranchising gains and losses as these transactions are divestitures of businesses and thus outside the scope of the standards. See Note 2 of our 2016 Form 10-K for a description of our current accounting policies relatedFinancial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to revenue recognition.

The standards require that the transaction price received from customers be allocated to each separate and distinct performance obligation. The transaction price attributable to each separate and distinct performance obligation is then recognized as the performance obligations are satisfied. We currently believe that the services we provide related to upfront fees we receive from franchisees such as initial or renewal fees do not contain separate and distinct performance obligations from the franchise right and thus those upfront fees will be recognized as revenue over the term of each respective franchise agreement. We currently recognize upfront franchise fees such as initial and renewal fees when the related services have been provided,Reportable Segment Disclosures, which is when a store opens for initial fees and when renewal options become effective for renewal fees. The standards would require any such unamortized portion of fees received to be presented in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as a contract liability.

Similarly, we currently believe the benefits we receive from incentive payments we may make to our franchisees (e.g. equipment funding provided under the KFC U.S. Acceleration Agreement, see Note 5) are not separate and distinct from the benefits we receive from the franchise right and thus those incentive payments will be amortized as a reduction of revenue over the period of expected cash flows from the franchise agreements to which the payment relates.Currently, we recognize any payments made to franchisees within our Consolidated Statements of Income when we are obligated to make the payment. The standards would require any such unamortized portion of payments to be presented in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as an asset.

After completing a comprehensive review of our franchise agreements and incentive payments we are currently in the process of quantifying the financial statement impacts of the above changes. The contract liabilities and the assets associated with upfront fees and incentive payments, respectively, required to be recorded upon the adoption of these standards may be significant.

We also believe the standards will have an impact on transactions currently not included in our revenues and expenses such as franchisee contributions to and subsequent expenditures from advertising cooperatives that we are required to consolidate under current GAAP. We do not currently include these contributions and expenditures in our Consolidated Statements of Income or


Cash Flows in accordance with current GAAP. See Note 2 of our 2016 Form 10-K for details. The new standards will impact the principal/agent determinations in these arrangements by superseding industry-specific guidance included in current GAAP. If we determine that we are the principal in these arrangements we will include contributions to and expenditures from these advertising cooperatives within our Consolidated Statements of Income and Cash Flows. While any such change has the potential to materially impact our gross amount of reported revenues and expenses, such impact is anticipated to be largely offsetting and we would not expect there to be a significant impact on our reported Net Income. We are currently in the process of quantifying the financial statement impacts of these contributions and expenditures.

Additionally, the new guidance requiresupdates reportable segment disclosure requirements through enhanced disclosures including the identification of performance obligations andabout significant judgments in measurement and recognition.

In February 2016, the FASB issued a standard on the recognition and measurement of leases, which is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring that substantially all lease assets and liabilities be recognized on the balance sheet and by requiring the disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. Thissegment expenses. The standard is effective for the Company in our first quarter ofCompany's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 20192024, and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The standard mustamendments should be adopted using a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative periodapplied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We currently plan to adopt this standard in the first quarter of 2019 and we are evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our Financial Statements. Based on our current volume of store leases and subleases to franchisees we expect this adoption will result in a material increase in the assets and liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets; however, we believe the impact will be less material over time as we execute our strategy to be at least 98% franchised by 2019 and thus are a party to fewer leases. Further, we do not anticipate adoption will have a significant impact on our Consolidated Statements of Income or Cash Flows.

In June 2016, the FASB issued a standard that requires measurement and recognition of expected versus incurred credit losses for financial assetsheld.The standard is effective for the Company in our first quarter of fiscal 2020 with early adoption permitted beginning in thefirst quarter of fiscal 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on our Financial Statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued a standard that requires the recognition of the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. The guidance will require a modified retrospective application with a cumulative adjustment to opening retained earnings at the beginning of our first quarter of fiscal 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting the standard on our Financial Statements.disclosures.

In August 2017,December 2023, the FASB issued a standard that refinesASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which updates income tax disclosure requirements related to the income tax rate reconciliation and expands existing hedge accounting guidance.requires disclosure of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The standard is effective for the Company in our first quarter ofCompany's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 20192025 with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is permitted. We do not anticipateare currently evaluating the impact of adopting thisthe standard will be material toon our Financial Statements.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of cash flowsany material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial information for the year-to-date periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of YUM’s management.it to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We conducted our reviewhave 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, 2023, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows and shareholders’ deficit for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 20, 2024, 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, 2023 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 Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States),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.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them 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), the consolidated balance sheet of YUM as of December 31, 2016, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows and shareholders’ equity (deficit) for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 21, 2017, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. As more fully discussed in Note 1 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the unaudited comparative balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, presented herein, has been derived from the December 31, 2016 balance sheet and has been restated for the effects of the change in accounting principle whereby YUM changed its fiscal year from a 52-53 week fiscal year to a fiscal year ending on December 31 of each year and eliminated any of the one-month or one-period reporting lags of its international subsidiaries. However, we have not audited the adjustments that were applied to restate the balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, and accordingly, we express no opinion thereon.
