Financial Statement Presentatio

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Financial Statement Presentation	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, 2017 (“ 2017 Form 10-K”). YUM! Brands, Inc. and its Subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as “YUM” or the “Company”) comprise the worldwide operations of KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell (collectively the “Concepts”). YUM has over 45,000 units in more than 140 countries and territories, of which 60% are located outside the U.S. YUM was created as an independent, publicly-owned company on October 6, 1997 via 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.” As of June 30, 2018 , YUM consisted of three operating segments: • The KFC Division which includes our worldwide operations of the KFC concept • The Pizza Hut Division which includes our worldwide operations of the Pizza Hut concept • The Taco Bell Division which includes our worldwide operations of the Taco Bell concept YUM's fiscal year begins on January 1 and ends December 31 of each year, with each quarter comprised of three months. Our U.S. subsidiaries and certain international subsidiaries operate on a weekly periodic calendar where the first three quarters of each fiscal year consists of 12 weeks and the fourth quarter consists of 16 weeks in fiscal years with 52 weeks and 17 weeks in fiscal years with 53 weeks. Our remaining international subsidiaries operate on a monthly calendar similar to that on which YUM operates. Our 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 2017 Form 10-K, our financial position as of June 30, 2018 , our cash flows for the years to date ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 and the results of our operations and comprehensive income for the quarters and years to date ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 . Our results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Our significant interim accounting policies include the recognition of advertising and marketing costs, generally in proportion to revenue, and the recognition of income taxes using an estimated annual effective tax rate. In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a standard that updates certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. We adopted this standard beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2018. While the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our Financial Statements the standard requires our investment in Grubhub Inc. ("Grubhub") common stock, which was consummated in April 2018 (see Note 5), to be remeasured to fair value in each future reporting period with corresponding changes recorded in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. 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. As required, we adopted this standard in the quarter ended March 31, 2018 and have recorded a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings. As a result, we recognized a reduction in Other assets of $30 million to write-off the unamortized tax consequences of certain historical intra-entity transfers of assets with an offsetting increase to our Accumulated deficit. In August 2017, the FASB issued a standard that refines and expands existing hedge accounting guidance. We adopted this standard beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Financial Statements. In February 2018, the FASB issued a standard that allows a reclassification to retained earnings for stranded tax effects within accumulated other comprehensive (income) loss ("AOCI") subsequent to the accounting in the fourth quarter of 2017 necessary as a result of the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. We adopted this standard during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 and reclassified stranded tax effects of $19 million from AOCI with a corresponding decrease to Accumulated deficit at the beginning of our first quarter 2018. These stranded tax effects primarily related to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets associated with pension losses within AOCI. The Company's policy is to follow the specific identification approach for releasing stranded tax effects from AOCI. From 2014 through 2017 the FASB issued standards to provide principles within a single framework for revenue recognition of transactions involving contracts with customers across all industries ("Topic 606"). We adopted these standards beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. See Notes 2 and 5. We have reclassified certain other items in the Financial Statements for the prior periods to be comparable with the classification for the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2018

Revenue Recognition Accounting

Revenue Recognition Accounting Policy	3 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2018
Revenue Recognition [Abstract]
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Accounting Policy We adopted Topic 606 at the beginning of the quarter ended March 31, 2018. Below is a discussion of how our revenues are earned, our accounting policies pertaining to revenue recognition prior to the adoption of Topic 606 ("Legacy GAAP"), our accounting policies pertaining to revenue recognition subsequent to the adoption of Topic 606 and other required disclosures. Refer to Note 5 for information regarding the cumulative effect adjustment recorded to Accumulated deficit as of the beginning of the quarter ended March 31, 2018 to reflect the adoption of Topic 606. Also included in Note 5 is disclosure of the amount by which each balance sheet and income statement line item was impacted in the current reporting periods as compared to Legacy GAAP. Company Sales Revenues from the sale of food items by Company-owned restaurants are recognized as Company sales when a customer purchases the food, which is when our obligation to perform is satisfied. The timing and amount of revenue recognized related to Company sales was not impacted by the adoption of Topic 606. Franchise and Property Revenues Franchise Revenues Our most significant source of revenues arises from the operation of our Concept stores by our franchisees. Franchise rights may be granted through a store-level franchise agreement or through a master franchise agreement. Our franchise agreements require that the franchisee remit continuing fees to us as a percentage of the applicable restaurant’s sales in exchange for the license of the intellectual property associated with our Concepts' brands (the “franchise right”). Our franchise agreements also typically require certain, less significant, upfront franchise fees such as fees paid upon opening of a store, fees paid to renew the term of the franchise right and fees paid in the event the franchise agreement is transferred to another franchisee. Continuing fees represent the substantial majority of the consideration we receive under our franchise agreements. Continuing fees are typically billed and paid monthly and are usually 4% - 6% for store-level franchise agreements. Master franchise agreements transfer exclusive master franchise rights and administrative obligations, including control of advertising contributions, to master franchisees in certain regions who in turn grant sub-franchising rights to sub-franchisees. As a result of transferring administrative obligations to a master franchisee the percentage of a master franchisee’s restaurants’ sales that we receive as a continuing fee (typically 3% ) is less than the percentage we receive for restaurants operating under a store-level franchise agreement. Upfront franchise fees are typically billed and paid when a new franchise or sub-franchise agreement becomes effective or when an existing agreement is transferred to another franchisee or sub-franchisee. Under Legacy GAAP, continuing fees were recognized as the related sales occurred. The timing and amount of revenue recognized related to continuing fees was not impacted by the adoption of Topic 606 based on the application of the sales-based royalty exception within Topic 606. Under Legacy GAAP, revenue related to initial fees was recognized upon store opening and renewal and transfer fees were recognized when the related agreement became effective. Upon the adoption of Topic 606, we have determined that the services we provide in exchange for these upfront franchise fees are highly interrelated with the franchise right and are not individually distinct from the ongoing services we provide to our franchisees. As a result, upon the adoption of Topic 606, upfront franchise fees are recognized as revenue over the term of each respective franchise or sub-franchise agreement. Revenues for these upfront franchise fees are recognized on a straight-line basis, which is consistent with the franchisee’s or sub-franchisee's right to use and benefit from the intellectual property. Revenues from continuing fees and upfront franchise fees is presented within Franchise and property revenues in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Additionally, from time-to-time we provide non-refundable consideration to franchisees in the form of cash or other incentives (e.g. cash payments to incent new unit openings and free or subsidized equipment). The Company’s intent in providing such consideration is to drive new unit development or same-store sales growth that will result in higher future revenues for the Company. Under Legacy GAAP, these payments were recognized when we were obligated to make the payment and were presented as either a reduction to Franchise and property revenues, if cash was provided directly to the franchisee, or as Franchise and property expenses, if cash was not provided directly to the franchisee. Due to the adoption of Topic 606, such payments are capitalized and presented within Prepaid expense and other current assets and Other assets. These capitalized balances are being amortized as a reduction in Franchise and property revenues over the period of expected cash flows from the franchise agreements to which the payment relates. Property Revenues From time to time, we enter into rental agreements with franchisees for the lease or sublease of restaurant locations. These rental agreements typically originate from refranchising transactions and revenues related to the agreements are recognized as they are earned. Amounts owed under the rental agreements are typically billed and paid on a monthly basis. Revenues from rental agreements with franchisees are presented within Franchise and property revenues within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Related expenses are presented as Franchise and property expenses within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and include depreciation or, in the case of a sublease, rental expense. The timing and amount of revenue and expenses recognized related to the rental of restaurants we lease or sublease was not impacted by the adoption of Topic 606. Franchise Contributions for Advertising and Other Services Advertising Cooperatives We participate in various advertising cooperatives with our franchisees, typically within a country where we have both Company-owned restaurants and franchise restaurants. These advertising cooperatives are established to collect and administer funds contributed for use in advertising and promotional programs designed to increase sales and enhance the reputation of the Company and its franchise owners. Contributions to the advertising cooperatives are required for both Company-owned and franchise restaurants and are generally based on a percentage of restaurant sales. Revenues for these services are typically billed and paid on a monthly basis. We are required to spend all funds collected by advertising cooperatives we consolidate on advertising and promotional programs. Under Legacy GAAP, receipts and expenditures related to advertising cooperatives we were required to consolidate were presented on a net basis in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. In accordance with the provisions of Topic 606, we have determined we act as a principal in the transactions entered into by the advertising cooperatives we are required to consolidate based on our responsibility to define the nature of the goods or services provided and/or our responsibility to define which franchisees receive the benefit of the goods or services. Additionally, we have determined the advertising services provided to franchisees are highly interrelated with the franchise right and therefore not distinct. Franchisees remit to us a percentage of restaurant sales as consideration for providing the advertising services. As a result, revenues for advertising services are recognized when the related sales occur based on the application of the sales-based royalty exception within Topic 606. These revenues are presented as Franchise contributions for advertising and other services. Expenses incurred to provide these services are presented as Franchise advertising and other services expense. Other Services On a much more limited basis, we provide goods or services to certain franchisees that are individually distinct from the franchise right. Such arrangements typically relate to supply chain, quality assurance and information technology services that are provided by a third party at our direction and that do not require integration with other goods or services we provide. The extent to which we provide such goods or services varies by brand, geographic region and, in some instances, franchisee. Similar to advertising services, receipts and expenditures related to these other services were presented on a net basis under Legacy GAAP. Upon adoption of Topic 606, revenues from the goods or services described above are presented as Franchise contributions for advertising and other services within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Expenses related to the provisioning of these goods and services are recorded in Franchise advertising and other services expense. These revenues are recognized as the goods or services are transferred to the franchisee and related expenses are recognized as incurred. Taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue transaction and collected from a customer are excluded from revenue under both Legacy GAAP and Topic 606. Disaggregation of Total Revenues The following table disaggregates revenue by Concept and our most significant markets based on Operating Profit. We believe this disaggregation best reflects the extent to which the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenues and cash flows are impacted by economic factors.

Items Affecting Comparability of Net Income and Cash Flows [Abstract]
Comparability of Prior Year Financial Data	Items Affecting Comparability of Net Income, Financial Position 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 and year to date ended June 30, 2018 , we refranchised 51 restaurants and 195 restaurants, respectively, and received $47 million and $252 million , respectively, in pre-tax proceeds. During the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2017 , we refranchised 244 restaurants and 365 restaurants, respectively, and received $136 million and $321 million , respectively, in pre-tax proceeds. A summary of Refranchising (gain) loss is as follows: Quarter ended Year to date 2018 2017 2018 2017 KFC Division $ (42 ) $ 41 $ (99 ) $ 42 Pizza Hut Division 13 11 11 13 Taco Bell Division — (71 ) (97 ) (185 ) Worldwide $ (29 ) $ (19 ) $ (185 ) $ (130 ) 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 $130 million from 2015 through 2019 primarily to fund new back-of-house equipment for franchisees and to provide incentives to accelerate franchisee store remodels. Under Legacy GAAP these amounts were expensed as incurred including $5 million and $8 million during the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2017 , respectively. We recorded total pre-tax charges of $115 million , primarily as Franchise and property expenses, during the three year period ended December 31, 2017. Due to their size and unique and long-term brand building nature, as well as their non-recurring impact on KFC Division's results when expensed upfront, our CODM did not consider the impact of these investments when assessing segment performance from 2015 through 2017. As such, prior to 2018 the investments were not allocated to the KFC Division segment operating results for performance reporting purposes. Upon adoption of Topic 606 in 2018, approximately $100 million of these incentives paid to franchisees from 2015 through 2017 were capitalized, net of amortization of $19 million . These capitalized amounts are being amortized as a reduction to Franchise and property revenues over the period of expected cash flows from the franchise agreements to which the payment relates. Amortization related to both franchise incentive payments that were capitalized upon the adoption of Topic 606 and franchise incentive payments that will be capitalized going forward will be allocated to KFC segment operating results as the expense is recurring and is not expected to significantly impact the comparability of results in any given period. During the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2018 , we recorded a reduction to KFC Division Franchise and property revenues related to the amortization of these franchise incentive payments of $3 million and $5 million , respectively. In addition to the investments above, we agreed to fund $60 million of incremental system advertising from 2015 through 2018. During the quarters ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , we incurred $3 million and $5 million , respectively, in incremental system advertising expense. During the years to date ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , we incurred $5 million and $9 million , respectively, in incremental system advertising expense. We funded approximately $50 million of such advertising during the three year period ended December 31, 2017, which included $20 million during 2017. We currently expect to fund approximately $10 million in 2018. All of these advertising amounts were recorded primarily in Franchise and property expenses and have been and will continue to be 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 strategic transformation plans 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 June 30, 2018 and 2017 , we recognized pre-tax charges of less than $1 million and $4 million , respectively, primarily within G&A, related to these initiatives. During the years to date ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , we recognized pre-tax charges of $1 million and $11 million , respectively, primarily within G&A. These costs primarily related to severance and relocation costs. 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 that includes a permanent commitment to incremental advertising as well as digital and technology contributions by franchisees (the “Transformation Agreement”). In connection with the Transformation Agreement we anticipate investing approximately $90 million to upgrade restaurant equipment to improve operations, fund improvements in restaurant technology and enhance digital and ecommerce capabilities. We currently expect the majority of this investment, which will be a mix of both capital and operating investments, to be split between 2017 and 2018. We invested $39 million related to the Transformation Agreement in 2017, which included $8 million of investments that we capitalized and $31 million that was expensed primarily as Franchise and property expenses or G&A. The $31 million expense amount included $5 million of franchisee incentive payments that under Legacy GAAP were expensed as incurred. Due to the adoption of Topic 606 in 2018, franchise incentive payments related to the Transformation Agreement are now being capitalized, including the $5 million from 2017 that was capitalized as part of the Topic 606 transition adjustment recorded as of January 1, 2018. These capitalized amounts are being amortized as a reduction to Franchise and property revenues over the period of expected cash flows from the franchise agreements to which the payment relates. We invested $4 million and $11 million in the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2018 , respectively, related to the Transformation Agreement, primarily consisting of investments that were capitalized. Due to their unique and long-term brand-building nature as well as their non-recurring impact on Pizza Hut’s Division results, the financial impact of operating investments that are part of the Transformation Agreement are not considered by our CODM when assessing segment performance. As a result, these operating investments are not being allocated to the Pizza Hut Division operating segment results for performance reporting purposes. Depreciation on capital investments is being allocated to Pizza Hut segment results as the expense is recurring and is not expected to significantly impact the comparability of results in any given period. For the same reasons, the amortization related to franchise incentive payments that were capitalized upon the adoption of Topic 606 and amortization related to franchise incentive payments that will be capitalized going forward will be allocated to Pizza Hut segment operating results. In addition to the investments above, we agreed to fund $37.5 million of incremental system advertising dollars from the second half of 2017 through 2018. During the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2018 , we incurred $2 million and $5 million , respectively, in related incremental system advertising expense. We funded approximately $25 million of such advertising during 2017, which was expensed in the third and fourth quarters of 2017. We currently expect to fund approximately $12.5 million in 2018. These advertising amounts have been and will continue to be recorded primarily in Franchise and property expenses and are included in Pizza Hut's segment operating results. Modifications of Share-based Compensation Awards In connection with the separation of our business in China, 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 within G&A in our Condensed Consolidated Income Statement. During the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2018 we recorded pre-tax credits related to these awards of $2 million and $1 million , respectively, due to depreciation in the market price of Yum China's stock. During the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2017 , we recorded pre-tax charges related to these awards of $16 million and $18 million , respectively. Given these adjustments were a direct result of the separation, our CODM does not consider their impact when assessing segment performance. As such, these amounts are not being allocated to any of our segment operating results. Impact of Adopting New Revenue Recognition Standards As discussed in Note 1, we adopted Topic 606 beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. Topic 606 was applied to all contracts with customers as of January 1, 2018 and the cumulative effective of this transition was recorded as an adjustment to Accumulated deficit as of this date. As a result, the following adjustments were made to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 1, 2018: CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET As Reported 12/31/2017 Adjustments Balances with Adoption of Topic 606 1/1/2018 ASSETS Current Assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 1,522 $ 11 $ 1,533 Accounts and notes receivable, net 400 112 512 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 384 76 (a) 460 Advertising cooperative assets, restricted 201 (201 ) — Total Current Assets 2,507 (2 ) 2,505 Property, plant and equipment, net 1,697 11 1,708 Goodwill 512 — 512 Intangible assets, net 110 — 110 Other assets 346 118 464 Deferred income taxes 139 26 165 Total Assets $ 5,311 $ 153 $ 5,464 LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT Current Liabilities Accounts payable and other current liabilities $ 813 $ 220 $ 1,033 Income taxes payable 123 — 123 Short-term borrowings 375 — 375 Advertising cooperative liabilities 201 (201 ) — Total Current Liabilities 1,512 19 1,531 Long-term debt 9,429 — 9,429 Other liabilities and deferred credits 704 353 1,057 Total Liabilities 11,645 372 12,017 Shareholders’ Deficit Accumulated deficit (6,063 ) (240 ) (6,303 ) Accumulated other comprehensive loss (271 ) 21 (250 ) Total Shareholders’ Deficit (6,334 ) (219 ) (6,553 ) Total Liabilities and Shareholders’ Deficit $ 5,311 $ 153 $ 5,464 (a) Includes $58 million of restricted cash related to advertising cooperatives. These balances can only be used to settle obligations of the respective cooperatives. We recorded an increase in Accounts payable and other current liabilities and Other liabilities and deferred credits of $57 million and $335 million , respectively, as part of our cumulative adjustment related to unamortized upfront franchise fees, with a corresponding $392 million increase in Accumulated deficit. We recorded increases in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other assets of $18 million and $118 million , respectively, as part of our cumulative adjustment related to unamortized franchise incentives, with a corresponding $136 million decrease in Accumulated deficit. Deferred income taxes increased $26 million as a result of recording the tax effects of the two adjustments noted above, with a corresponding decrease to Accumulated deficit. Accumulated other comprehensive loss decreased $21 million as a result of recognizing the impact of foreign currency translation related to the three adjustments noted above, with a corresponding increase in Accumulated deficit. The remaining adjustments to our December 31, 2017 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet are primarily a result of reclassifying the assets and liabilities of our consolidated advertising cooperates from Advertising cooperative assets, restricted and Advertising cooperative liabilities to the respective balance sheet caption to which the assets and liabilities relate. The following tables reflect the impact of the adoption of Topic 606 on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2018 and our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2018 . CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME Quarter ended 6/30/2018 Revenues As Reported Impact Balances under Legacy GAAP Company sales $ 512 $ — $ 512 Franchise and property revenues 584 7 591 Franchise contributions for advertising and other services 272 (272 ) — Total revenues 1,368 (265 ) 1,103 Costs and Expenses, Net Company restaurant expenses 421 — 421 General and administrative expenses 208 — 208 Franchise and property expenses 40 5 45 Franchise advertising and other services expense 274 (274 ) — Refranchising (gain) loss (29 ) 4 (25 ) Other (income) expense 5 — 5 Total costs and expenses, net 919 (265 ) 654 Operating Profit 449 — (a) 449 Investment (income) expense, net (23 ) — (23 ) Other pension (income) expense 3 — 3 Interest expense, net 112 — 112 Income before income taxes 357 — 357 Income tax provision 36 — 36 Net Income $ 321 $ — $ 321 Basic Earnings Per Common Share $ 0.99 $ — $ 0.99 Diluted Earnings Per Common Share $ 0.97 $ — $ 0.97 Year to date ended 6/30/2018 Revenues As Reported Impact Balances under Legacy GAAP Company sales $ 1,024 $ — $ 1,024 Franchise and property revenues 1,168 12 1,180 Franchise contributions for advertising and other services 547 (547 ) — Total revenues 2,739 (535 ) 2,204 Costs and Expenses, Net Company restaurant expenses 859 — 859 General and administrative expenses 427 — 427 Franchise and property expenses 87 11 98 Franchise advertising and other services expense 546 (546 ) — Refranchising (gain) loss (185 ) 4 (181 ) Other (income) expense 3 — 3 Total costs and expenses, net 1,737 (531 ) 1,206 Operating Profit 1,002 (4 ) (a) 998 Investment (income) expense, net (89 ) — (89 ) Other pension (income) expense 6 — 6 Interest expense, net 219 — 219 Income before income taxes 866 (4 ) 862 Income tax provision 112 (1 ) 111 Net Income $ 754 $ (3 ) $ 751 Basic Earnings Per Common Share $ 2.30 $ (0.01 ) $ 2.29 Diluted Earnings Per Common Share $ 2.25 $ (0.01 ) $ 2.24 (a) Includes $5 million and $9 million of franchise incentive payments related to the KFC U.S. Acceleration Agreement or the Pizza Hut U.S. Transformation Agreement that would have been expensed immediately and that we would not have allocated to the KFC Division or the Pizza Hut Division under Legacy GAAP for the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2018, respectively. Upon the adoption of Topic 606, these payments have been capitalized as assets. Upon the adoption of Topic 606, the timing and amount of revenue recognized for upfront franchise fees and franchise incentives changed from upfront recognition under Legacy GAAP to recognition over the term of the franchise agreement to which the fees and incentives relate. Also, under Legacy GAAP, amounts reported as Franchise contributions for advertising and other services and Franchise advertising and other services expense were presented on a net basis. Upon the adoption of Topic 606, these amounts require gross presentation in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Lastly, Legacy GAAP required that certain value-added taxes withheld and remitted on our behalf by our franchisees be reported as revenue and corresponding expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Upon adoption of Topic 606, these taxes are reported on a net basis as a reduction in Franchise and property revenues. CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET As Reported 6/30/2018 Impact Balances under Legacy GAAP 6/30/2018 ASSETS Current Assets Cash and cash equivalents $ 313 $ (27 ) $ 286 Accounts and notes receivable, net 527 (103 ) 424 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 363 (46 ) 317 Advertising cooperative assets, restricted — 176 176 Total Current Assets 1,203 — 1,203 Property, plant and equipment, net 1,533 (16 ) 1,517 Goodwill 502 — 502 Intangible assets, net 90 — 90 Other assets 787 (118 ) 669 Deferred income taxes 211 (25 ) 186 Total Assets $ 4,326 $ (159 ) $ 4,167 LIABILITIES AND SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT Current Liabilities Accounts payable and other current liabilities $ 822 $ (215 ) $ 607 Income taxes payable 48 — 48 Short-term borrowings 54 — 54 Advertising cooperative liabilities — 176 176 Total Current Liabilities 924 (39 ) 885 Long-term debt 9,612 — 9,612 Other liabilities and deferred credits 1,037 (336 ) 701 Total Liabilities 11,573 (375 ) 11,198 Shareholders’ Deficit Accumulated deficit (6,965 ) 238 (6,727 ) Accumulated other comprehensive loss (282 ) (22 ) (304 ) Total Shareholders’ Deficit (7,247 ) 216 (7,031 ) Total Liabilities and Shareholders’ Deficit $ 4,326 $ (159 ) $ 4,167 The significant impacts resulting from the adoption of Topic 606 on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2018 , are consistent with those recorded as of January 1, 2018 as described previously. Under Legacy GAAP, Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, and Restricted Cash Equivalents pertaining to advertising cooperatives that we were required to consolidate were classified within Advertising cooperative assets, restricted. Upon adoption of Topic 606, these amounts are reflected on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and changes in these balances are reported within our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The adoption of Topic 606 resulted in a decrease in Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $25 million during the year to date ended June 30, 2018 due to the timing of spending in these cooperatives. Investment in Grubhub On February 7, 2018, certain of our subsidiaries entered into a master services agreement with a subsidiary of Grubhub, the leading online and mobile takeout food-ordering company in the U.S., which is intended to provide dedicated support for the KFC and Taco Bell branded online delivery channels in the U.S. through Grubhub’s online ordering platform, logistics and last-mile support for delivery orders, as well as point-of-sale integration to streamline operations. Concurrently with the master services agreement, one of our subsidiaries entered into an investment agreement with Grubhub to invest $200 million in exchange for approximately 2.8 million shares of Grubhub common stock. In April 2018, all necessary regulatory approvals were obtained and the purchase of Grubhub shares was consummated. Shares acquired as part of this purchase are restricted from being transferred until the earlier of the two-year anniversary of closing the investment agreement or 30 days following the termination of our master services agreement with Grubhub. In the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2018 we recognized income of $25 million and $91 million , respectively, which includes the appreciation in the market price of Grubhub common stock since entering into the agreement less valuation adjustments related to the transfer restrictions. The $25 million recognized in the quarter ended June 30, 2018 also includes the reversal of the valuation adjustment that was established in the first quarter of 2018 regarding the then likelihood of obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals to close the investment agreement. Changes in the fair value of our investment in Grubhub common stock are presented as Investment (income) expense, net within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. 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

Income Taxes	Income Taxes Quarter ended Year to date 2018 2017 2018 2017 Income tax provision $ 36 $ 105 $ 112 $ 172 Effective tax rate 9.9 % 33.8 % 12.9 % 26.2 % Our second quarter effective tax rate was lower than prior year primarily due to the favorable impact of the $32 million benefit described below, the favorable impact of the reduction in the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and lapping the prior year cost of repatriating foreign earnings. This benefit was partially offset by a $19 million charge recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 2018 for the correction of an error associated with the tax recorded on a prior year divestiture. Our year to date effective tax rate is lower than prior year primarily due to the favorable impact of the reduction in the U.S. federal statutory tax rate, lapping the prior year cost of repatriating foreign earnings and the favorable impact of the $16 million benefit described below. This benefit was partially offset by the unfavorable impacts associated with lapping higher excess tax benefits on share-based compensation in the prior year and the current year $19 million charge discussed above. On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive Federal tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "Tax Act"). The Tax Act significantly modified the U.S. corporate income tax system by, among other things, reducing the federal income tax rate from 35% to 21% , limiting certain deductions, including limiting the deductibility of interest expense to 30% of U.S. earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, imposing a mandatory one-time deemed repatriation tax on accumulated foreign earnings and creating a territorial tax system that changes the manner in which future foreign earnings are subject to U.S. tax including the elimination of U.S. federal tax on dividends from foreign subsidiaries, a provision designed to tax global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") of foreign subsidiaries and a lower U.S. effective tax rate on certain revenues from sources outside the U.S. On December 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 ("SAB 118") that allows us to record provisional amounts related to the impacts of the Tax Act during a measurement period not to extend beyond one year of the enactment date. In the fourth quarter of 2017, we recorded a provisional discrete net tax expense associated with the Tax Act of $434 million . In the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2018 , we recorded a provisional benefit of $32 million and $16 million , respectively, as an adjustment to the amounts recorded at December 31, 2017. As of June 30, 2018 , the amounts recorded for the Tax Act remain provisional for the mandatory one-time deemed repatriation tax on accumulated foreign earnings, the remeasurement of deferred taxes, and our reassessment of permanently reinvested earnings, uncertain tax positions and valuation allowances. These estimates may be impacted by further analysis and future clarification and guidance regarding available tax accounting methods and elections, earnings and profits computations, state tax conformity to federal tax changes and the impact of the GILTI provisions. We expect to complete our analysis of the amounts recorded upon enactment of the Tax Act within SAB 118's measurement period of one year.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments	Derivative Instruments We use derivative instruments to manage certain of our market risks related to fluctuations in interest and foreign currency exchange rates. Interest Rate Swaps We enter 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. On July 25, 2016, we agreed with multiple counterparties to swap the variable LIBOR-based component of the interest payments related to $1.55 billion of borrowings under our Term Loan B Facility for a fixed rate. These interest rate swaps will expire in July 2021. Further, on May 14, 2018 we entered into forward-starting interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate on $1.5 billion of borrowings under our Term Loan B Facility from the date the July 2016 swaps expire through March 2025. The interest rate swaps executed in May 2018 will result in a fixed rate of 4.81% on the swapped portion of the Term Loan B Facility from July 2021 through March 2025. These interest rate swaps are 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 June 30, 2018. Gains or losses on the interest rate swaps are reported as a component of AOCI and reclassified into Interest expense, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in the same period or periods during which the related hedged interest payments affect earnings. Through June 30, 2018 , the swaps were highly effective cash flow hedges. Foreign Currency Contracts We have entered into foreign currency forward and swap contracts with the objective of reducing our exposure to earnings volatility arising from foreign currency fluctuations associated with certain foreign currency denominated intercompany receivables and payables. The notional amount, maturity date, and currency of these contracts match those of the underlying intercompany receivables or payables. 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. Gains or losses on the foreign currency contracts are reported as a component of AOCI. Amounts are reclassified from AOCI each quarter to offset foreign currency transaction gains or losses recorded within Other (income) expense when the related intercompany receivables and payables affect earnings due to their functional currency remeasurements. Through June 30, 2018 , all foreign currency forward and swap contracts related to intercompany receivables and payables were highly effective cash flow hedges. As of both June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, foreign currency forward and swap contracts outstanding related to intercompany receivables and payables had total notional amounts of $456 million . As of June 30, 2018 these foreign currency forward and swap contracts have durations expiring as late as 2020. As a result of the use of interest rate swaps and foreign currency contracts, the Company is exposed to risk that the counterparties will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate the counterparty credit risk, we only enter into contracts with major financial institutions carefully selected based upon their credit ratings and other factors, and continually assess the creditworthiness of counterparties. At June 30, 2018 , all of the counterparties to our interest rate swaps and foreign currency contracts had investment grade ratings according to the three major ratings agencies. To date, all counterparties have performed in accordance with their contractual obligations.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Disclosures As of June 30, 2018 , the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, 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 notes receivable net of allowances and lease guarantees less subsequent amortization approximates their carrying value. The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s debt obligations: 6/30/2018 12/31/2017 Carrying Value Fair Value (Level 2) Carrying Value Fair Value (Level 2) Securitization Notes (a) $ 2,265 $ 2,348 $ 2,271 $ 2,367 Subsidiary Senior Unsecured Notes (b) 2,850 2,793 2,850 2,983 Term Loan A Facility (b) 500 500 500 503 Term Loan B Facility (b) 1,965 1,973 1,975 1,990 YUM Senior Unsecured Notes (b) 1,875 1,845 2,200 2,277 (a) We estimated the fair value of the Securitization Notes by obtaining broker quotes from two separate brokerage firms that are knowledgeable about the Company’s Securitization Notes and, at times, trade these notes. The markets in which the Securitization Notes trade are not considered active markets. (b) We estimated the fair value of the YUM and Subsidiary Senior Unsecured Notes, Term Loan A Facility, and Term Loan B Facility using market quotes and calculations based on market rates. Recurring Fair Value Measurements The Company has interest rate swaps, foreign currency contracts, an investment in Grubhub common stock and other investments, all of which are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis (See Note 12 for discussion regarding derivative instruments). The following table presents fair values for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the measurements fall. No transfers among the levels within the fair value hierarchy occurred during the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2018 .

The fair value of the investment in Grubhub common stock was determined primarily based on closing market prices for the shares. The other investments include investments in mutual funds, which are used to offset fluctuations for a portion of our deferred compensation liabilities. The other investments' fair value is determined based on the closing market prices of the respective mutual funds as of June 30, 2018

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Guarantees, Commitments and Contingencies	Contingencies Lease Guarantees As a result of having assigned our interest in obligations under real estate leases as a condition to the refranchising of certain Company restaurants and guaranteeing certain other leases, we are frequently contingently liable on lease agreements. These leases have varying terms, the latest of which expires in 2065. As of June 30, 2018 , the potential amount of undiscounted payments we could be required to make in the event of non-payment by the primary lessees was approximately $600 million . The present value of these potential payments discounted at our pre-tax cost of debt at June 30, 2018 , was approximately $500 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 agreements in the event of non-payment under the leases. We believe these cross-default provisions significantly reduce the risk that we will be required to make payments under these leases. Accordingly, the liability recorded for our probable exposure under such leases as of June 30, 2018 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 June 30, 2018 , our guarantee exposure under this program is approximately $2 million based on total loans outstanding of $11 million . In addition to the guarantees described above, YUM has agreed to provide guarantees of up to approximately $27 million on behalf of franchisees for several programs related to equipment purchases and refranchising. At June 30, 2018 , our guarantee exposure under these financing programs is approximately $11 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. In August 2011, Ameranth, Inc. (“Ameranth”) filed a patent infringement action against a number of defendants, including Pizza Hut, LLC, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California (the “Court”) (“2011 Action”), asserting infringement of a family of three patents. In March 2012, Ameranth initiated additional actions for infringement of a related patent, U.S. Patent No. 8,146,077 (“’077 patent”), in the same forum, including an action against Pizza Hut, LLC and its service provider, QuikOrder, Inc. (“’077 Action”). The Court later consolidated for certain purposes the cases against Pizza Hut, LLC and QuikOrder, Inc. and the approximately 40 other defendants filed by Ameranth in the same district, along with the original 2011 Action. In their answer, Pizza Hut, LLC and QuikOrder, Inc. denied infringement and asserted various defenses, including non-infringement, invalidity, unenforceability and inequitable conduct. The consolidated district court case was stayed until 2017 while various of the defendants brought Covered Business Method patent review actions before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”). Three of the four patents were invalidated by the PTAB. The PTAB declined to review the ‘077 Patent. In January 2017, the Court granted Ameranth’s motion to lift the stay and set a jury trial date of September 4, 2018 for the claims against Pizza Hut, LLC and QuikOrder, Inc. Pizza Hut denies liability and intends to defend the suit vigorously. A reasonable estimate of the amount of any possible loss or range of loss cannot be made at this time.
