Yum! Brands Inc. Reports First Quarter 2010 EPS of $0.59,
23% Growth Excluding Special Items Driven by 37% Profit Growth in China;
Expects Full Year 2010 EPS Growth of at Least 10%, Excluding Special Items
Louisville, KY (April 14, 2010) — Yum! Brands Inc. (NYSE: YUM) today reported results for the first quarter ended March 20, 2010 including EPS growth of 23% excluding special items.
FIRST-QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS
● | Worldwide operating profit grew 13% prior to foreign currency translation, including +37% in China and +2% in Yum! Restaurants International (YRI), partially offset by a 9% decline in the U.S. After a foreign currency benefit of $14 million, worldwide operating profit grew 17%. | ||||
● | Worldwide system sales growth prior to foreign currency translation of +1% including +15% in China, +1% in YRI, and a 1% decline in the U.S. | ||||
● | Strong international new unit development continued with 205 new restaurants opened, including 96 new units in China. | ||||
● | Worldwide restaurant margin improvement of 0.9 percentage points driven by record performance in China. | ||||
● | EPS growth benefited from a 20% decline in interest expense and a lower effective tax rate. | ||||
● | Share repurchases totaled $137 million for 4 million shares at an average price of $34.12 per share. | ||||
● | Special items included $56 million of expense related to refranchising in the U.S. as net gains from transactions in the first quarter were offset by non-cash write-downs of restaurants offered for sale as we continue to execute our U.S. ownership restructuring plan. |

David C. Novak, Chairman and CEO said, “I’m pleased to report that Yum! Brands is off to a strong start in 2010. Our worldwide operating profit grew by 17% and EPS increased 23%, before special items. We are particularly pleased with our business in China, which reported robust profit growth of 37%. This was driven by new unit growth of 14% and same-store-sales growth of 4%. We now have over 3,500 restaurants in China, strengthening our leading position in the world’s largest growth market. We expect to further that lead by opening about 500 new restaurants in China this year.
“In the U.S., we are also pleased we have seen significant sales improvement since the fourth quarter, particularly at Pizza Hut. While we are encouraged by this improvement, we are not yet performing to expectations as profits were down 9% and same-store sales declined 1%.
“At YRI, we increased system sales by 1% and profits by 2% primarily due to new unit development. In the first quarter, we opened over 100 new restaurants, predominantly by our franchisees, and expect to open about 900 units this year.
“Although the global operating environment remains challenging, we are confident we are well on our way to another year of achieving our target of at least 10% EPS growth. Longer term, our shareholders should expect us to continue to build stronger brand positions around the world, leverage our unique ability to deliver international new unit development, maintain our industry-leading return on invested capital, and return cash through dividends and share repurchases.”

Our current company ownership stands at 16%.

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 U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) throughout this document, the Company has provided non-GAAP measurements which present operating results in 2010 and 2009 on a basis before Special Items. Included in Special Items are the U.S. refranchising (gain) loss, charges relating to U.S. General and Administrative (“G&A”) productivity initiatives and realignment of resources, investments in our U.S. Brands, and the 2010 loss recognized upon refranchising of an equity market outside the U.S. These amounts are described in (e) and (f) in the accompanying notes.
The Company uses earnings before Special Items as a key performance measure of results of operations for the purpose of evaluating performance internally. This non-GAAP measurement is not intended to replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP. Rather, the Company believes that the presentation of earnings before Special Items provides additional information to investors to facilitate the comparison of past and present operations, excluding items in 2010 and 2009 that the Company does not believe are indicative of our ongoing operations due to their size and/or nature.

(a) | Percentages may not recompute due to rounding. |
(b) | Amounts presented as of and for the quarter ended March 20, 2010 are preliminary. |
(c) | China Division Other (income) expense includes equity income from our investments in unconsolidated affiliates. |
(d) | On May 4, 2009 we acquired an additional 7% ownership in the entity that operates the KFCs in Shanghai, China for $12 million, increasing our ownership to 58%. Prior to our acquisition of this additional interest, this entity was accounted for as an unconsolidated affiliate. As part of the acquisition we received additional rights in the governance of the entity such that we began consolidating the entity upon acquisition. For the quarter ended March 20, 2010 the consolidation of the existing restaurants upon acquisition increased Company sales by $52 million and decreased Franchise and license fees and income by $3 million. The consolidation of the existing restaurants upon acquisition increased Operating Profit by $2 million for the quarter ended March 20, 2010. |
(e) | As part of our plan to transform our U.S. business we took several measures (“the U.S. business transformation measures”) in 2010 and 2009 including: expansion of our U.S. refranchising, potentially reducing our Company ownership in the U.S. to below 10%; a reduced emphasis on multi-branding as a long-term growth strategy; G&A productivity initiatives and realignment of resources (primarily severance and early retirement costs); and investments in our U.S. Brands made on behalf of our franchisees such as equipment purchases. We have traditionally not allocated refranchising (gains) losses for segment reporting purposes and will not allocate the costs associated with the productivity initiatives, realignment of resources and investments in our U.S. Brands to the U.S. segment. Additionally, these items have been reflected as S pecial Items for certain performance measures (see accompanying reconciliation to reported results). U.S. refranchising loss recorded in the quarter ended March 20, 2010 is the net result of gains from 46 restaurants sold in the first quarter and non-cash impairment charges related to our offers to refranchise restaurants in the U.S., principally a substantial portion of our Company operated KFCs. Investments in our U.S. Brands recorded in 2009 reflect our reimbursements to KFC franchisees for installation costs of ovens for the national launch of Kentucky Grilled Chicken and have been recorded as a reduction of Franchise and license fees and income. |
(f) | During the quarter ended March 20, 2010, we refranchised all of our remaining company restaurants in Taiwan, which consisted of 124 KFCs. We included in our financial statements a non-cash write off of $7 million of goodwill in determining the loss upon refranchising. This charge, which resulted in no related income tax benefit, was recorded as refranchising loss which we have traditionally not allocated for segment reporting purposes. The loss has also been reflected as a Special Item for certain performance measures (see accompanying reconciliation to reported results) given the amount and strategic nature of refranchising an entire equity market. The $7 million write off of goodwill was based on the Company’s interpretation of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) which, we believe, is consistent with the interpretation of others in our industry. The Company is in discussions with the Office of Chief Accountant of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding an alternative interpretation of GAAP that, if required to be applied, would result in an additional $30 million non-cash write off of goodwill related to the refranchising of our Taiwan business. In addition, this alternative interpretation would require us to also write off additional goodwill in connection with other historical refranchising transactions, principally in the U.S. Based on our current understanding, if we are required to apply this alternative interpretation, we estimate that additional non-cash write offs of approximately $40 million of goodwill related to these historical refranchising transactions would be necessary. |

(g) | In 2010 we began reporting information for our Thailand and KFC Taiwan businesses within our International Division as a result of changes to our management reporting structure. These businesses now report to the President of our YRI Division whereas previously they reported to the President of our China Division. Beginning in 2010, the China Division only consists of operations in mainland China and the International Division includes the remainder of our international operations. While this reporting change did not impact our Consolidated results, segment information for previous periods has been restated to be consistent with the current period presentation. |
