    David C. Novak, Chairman and CEO, said, "I am pleased to report
that based on our third-quarter results we are again raising our 2005
full-year EPS estimate, now up to $2.64 or 12% growth prior to special
items. We continue to aggressively expand outside the United States
and expect to exceed our full-year target of over 1,100 new
restaurants. This includes a record number of new-restaurant openings
from our China Division where we fully expect to exceed our 2005
target of 375 openings. We are especially pleased that our
third-quarter U.S. blended same-store sales increased 4%, lapping our
strongest quarter last year, which is the best performance in five
years. We expect 4% U.S. blended growth for the full-year 2005.
    "Looking forward to 2006, we are very confident we will continue
to deliver our stated annual goal of at least 10% growth in EPS.
Shareholders should expect us to continue to build value by executing
the unique growth opportunities that make us anything but an ordinary
restaurant company: Building dominant restaurant brands in China,
driving profitable international expansion, running great restaurants,
and multibranding category-leading brands. In doing so, we expect to
maintain our industry leading ROIC (return on invested capital) of
18%."

(1) Both third-quarter and year-to-date revenue comparisons were
    adversely affected by the refranchising of our Puerto Rico market
    in last year's fourth quarter. Excluding the impact of the change
    in ownership of the Puerto Rico market, revenues increased 1% for
    the third quarter and 3% year to date prior to foreign currency
    conversion. The transaction resulted in the sale of this
    company-operated market to a franchisee.

    A key growth driver for the Yum! Restaurants International (YRI)
Division is new-restaurant openings across an array of international
markets and leveraging our substantial infrastructure in place around
the world.
    In the third quarter, continued new-restaurant expansion of KFC
and Pizza Hut brands and positive system same-store-sales growth drove
YRI system-sales and operating-profit growth. New restaurants opened
in the quarter totaled 176.
    For both third-quarter and year-to-date 2005, YRI's operating
profit growth outpaced revenue growth primarily due to strong
performance from our highly profitable franchise-only businesses.
Revenues are lower due to refranchising of the Puerto Rico market in
the fouth quarter of last year and lower sales this year in key
company markets: South Korea and the U.K. Operating profit for the
quarter and year-to-date is up primarily due to strong franchise
same-store sales and unit growth. Year to date, 93% of restaurant
openings have been by our franchise and joint-venture partners.
    International franchise-only markets led the way with 10% growth
in system sales prior to currency conversion and 5% growth in system
restaurants in operation during the third quarter. These businesses
represent both KFC and Pizza Hut brands and cover more than 100
countries and territories. In the U.K., a key market with 7% growth in
system restaurants, system sales decreased 1% prior to currency
conversion, due in part to a very weak retail environment, recently
compounded by the impact of terrorist activity. Overall, Mexico was
the strongest performing company market.
    For the third quarter, restaurant margin as a percentage of sales
decreased 0.8 percentage points. Excluding the Puerto Rico market,
restaurant margin would have decreased 0.2 percentage points versus
last year.
    Overall, foreign currency conversion added $3 million to operating
profit for the third quarter and $11 million year to date. Full-year
currency impact is estimated at $12 million.
    For the full-year 2005, Yum! Restaurants International Division is
expected to produce revenue growth of approximately +4% in local
currency terms prior to the impact of refranchising the Puerto Rico
market, reported profit growth of 14%, and system-sales growth of 6%
in local currency terms, including at least 725 new-restaurant
openings. This would be the sixth straight year of at least 700
new-restaurant openings, and we expect our franchisees to open more
than 80% of the new restaurants.

Note: Please refer to "Notes and Definitions" at the end of this
release for explanation of estimated system-sales growth.

    A key growth driver for the China Division is rapid new-restaurant
expansion of multiple Yum! restaurant brands.
    Overall, system restaurants in operation grew 23%. During the
third quarter, a total of 84 new restaurants opened, including 73 KFCs
and 11 Pizza Huts.
    Operating profit for the third quarter benefited by $14 million of
financial recovery from a major supplier, and we expect to recognize
an additional meaningful financial recovery from the same supplier
during the fourth quarter of 2005. Additionally, due to a
fiscal-reporting calendar shift, third-quarter operating profit
increased by $6 million. Conversely, this shift negatively impacts the
fourth quarter by a similar amount.
    Third-quarter restaurant margin decreased 1.6 percentage points
versus the prior year, driven primarily by negative same-store sales
in company-operated KFC restaurants in mainland China.
    Foreign currency conversion added $1 million to operating profit
for the third quarter and $2 million year to date. Full-year currency
impact is estimated at $3 million.
    For the full-year 2005, the China Division in local currency terms
is expected to produce system-sales growth of at least 15%, revenue
growth in the range of 17% and profit growth of approximately 10%, and
at least 375 new-restaurant openings (approximately 75% of new
restaurants are company owned, and 25% are joint venture and
franchise).

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    A key growth driver for this business segment is positive
same-store-sales growth.
    In the third quarter, the primary drivers of revenue growth were
higher same-store sales and continued development of new,
higher-volume restaurants, partially offset by 2 percentage points
negative impact from refranchising. When company restaurants are
refranchised, revenue from these restaurants changes from company
sales to franchise fees, reducing the company's reported revenue.
    Operating profit increased 5% for the third quarter excluding the
impact of higher facility action expenses primarily related to
restaurant closures at KFC and Long John Silver's and one-time costs
associated with Hurricane Katrina.
    For the fourth quarter, it is anticipated that U.S. operating
profit will show growth of about 5% prior to the impact of higher
facility action expenses and the benefit of the fifty-third week. This
includes the adverse impact of an incremental $4 to $6 million from
expected higher energy costs and lost profits related to closed
restaurants as a result of Hurricane Katrina.
    For the full-year 2005, U.S. operating profit and restaurant
margin are expected to be flat versus prior year.

    New-restaurant development of our brands around the world is a key
factor in year-to-year earnings growth for the company overall.
    For the International Division franchise-only businesses,
new-restaurant growth versus a year ago continued across all regions:
in Asia, +6%; southern Africa, +7%; the Middle East, +7%; and
Caribbean/Latin America, +3%. For the 237 new openings year to date
from this group of markets, 119 were new KFCs and 93 were new Pizza
Huts.
    In the U.S. market, the majority of new-restaurant openings were
by Pizza Hut, KFC and Taco Bell franchisees. Year to date, over 73% of
U.S. new-restaurant openings were franchised.

    In the third quarter, of the 100 U.S. multibrand additions, 67%
were conversions of existing single-brand restaurants (primarily Pizza
Hut/WingStreet), 24% were new-restaurant openings and 9% were a new
multibrand restaurant in place of a closed single-brand restaurant
nearby.
    For the full-year 2005, the company expects the U.S. system to add
at least 550 multibrand restaurant locations.

- ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Franchise fees experienced across-the-board growth driven by
worldwide franchise new-restaurant development, refranchising
(primarily the Puerto Rico market) and same-store-sales growth. For
the third quarter and year to date, favorable foreign currency
conversion added 1 percentage point of franchise-fee growth.
    In the third quarter, worldwide franchise fees were generated
primarily in the United States (58%) and the International Division
(38%). The China Division contributed the remaining 4% to worldwide
franchise fees. The company has more than 2,400 worldwide franchise
partners including more than 800 in the United States, nearly 600 in
the International Division and 29 in the China Division

    CASH FLOW

    Year to date, the company generated $1,041 million in net cash
provided by operating activities, invested capital of $362 million and
repurchased $678 million of its own shares. We expect full-year
capital spending to be about $650 million versus the prior forecast of
$720 million. Additionally, we now expect full-year share repurchases
to total at least $800 million.

    STOCK-OPTION EXPENSING

    We will begin expensing all stock-based compensation, adopting
SFAS123R retroactively to the beginning of 2005, in fourth-quarter
2005. Thus, our 2005 results will reflect a full-year impact of the
adoption of SFAS123R. We currently estimate the impact of the adoption
will reduce full-year and fourth-quarter EPS by $0.12 and $0.04
respectively.

    FOURTH-QUARTER 2005 OUTLOOK

    The company expects EPS of $0.78 for the fourth quarter, excluding
the impact of adopting SFAS123R. A number of factors are expected to
impact results:

    --  Higher facility-action expenses than last year.

    --  The tax rate will be approximately 4 percentage points higher
        than last year.

    --  Incremental post-hurricane expenses noted in the U.S. business
        section previously detailed (United States Business Section)
        in this release.

    --  Interest expense will increase $8 to $10 million versus last
        year.

    Updates will be provided if there is a material change to these
expectations.

    FULL-YEAR OUTLOOK

    Based on year-to-date performance and information currently
available, the company increased its full-year EPS expectations by
$0.02 to $2.64 prior to special items.
    Projected factors contributing to the company's updated annual
2005 EPS guidance were published in the company's second-quarter
earnings release dated July 13, 2005. Based on current information,
the following is an update only on those full-year factors that have
changed:

    --  Facility actions to include about $65 million of closure and
        impairment charges, an increase of approximately $30 million
        versus 2004. Refranchising gains are expected to be over $30
        million for the full year versus $12 million last year.

Note: This forecast is prior to the impact of adopting SFAS123R.

    FULL-YEAR 2006 OUTLOOK

    The company expects EPS growth of at least 10 percent, which is
expected to be driven by new-restaurant expansion outside the U.S. and
U.S. same-store-sales growth of +2% to +3%.

    NOTES & DEFINITIONS FOR TERMS USED THROUGHOUT THIS DOCUMENT

    China Division system-sales growth explanation:

    Estimated system-sales growth differs from the 11% reported in the
Period 9 sales release, which compared like calendar months. For 2005,
we have moved forward the mainland China business reporting calendar
one month to more closely align the timing of reporting that
business's results of operations with our U.S. business.
    China Division third- and fourth-quarter operating profit
explanation:
    As part of the calendar shift previously described, China Division
third-quarter operating profit benefited by $6 million due to
reporting the higher sales in mainland China in Period 9 2005 (month
of August) as part of the third-quarter result versus last year, when
August was reported as part of the fourth quarter. Therefore, the
fourth quarter will be negatively impacted by a similar amount due to
this shift.

    Notes:

    Sales results for Period 11 (the four-week period ending October
29, 2005) are scheduled to be released Monday, November 7, 2005,
before market hours.
    Sales and profit information included in the release is rounded to
the nearest million; however, percentage-point-change calculations are
based on numbers that are not rounded.

    Definitions:

    Excl F/x represents the percentage change excluding the impact of
foreign currency translation. These amounts are calculated by
translating current-year results at prior-year average exchange rates.
We believe elimination of the foreign currency translation impact
provides better year-to-year comparability without the distortion of
foreign currency fluctuations.
    Franchise Fees include fees from unconsolidated affiliates (joint
ventures) and franchise and license restaurants. Fees include ongoing
royalty and license fees, initial fees for new restaurants and
contract-renewal fees.
    Franchise Restaurants include unconsolidated affiliates (joint
ventures) and franchise restaurants and exclude license restaurants.
    Franchise Net New-Restaurant Growth is the year-over-year total of
franchise restaurant and unconsolidated affiliates (joint-venture)
openings less franchise restaurant and unconsolidated affiliates
(joint-venture) closings divided by the prior year's franchise and
unconsolidated affiliates (joint-venture) restaurant total.
    New-Restaurant Openings include unconsolidated affiliates (joint
ventures), company-owned and franchise restaurants and exclude license
restaurants.
    Special Items include AmeriServe and other charges (credits) and
Wrench litigation.
    System Restaurants include unconsolidated affiliates (joint
ventures), company-owned and franchise restaurants but exclude license
restaurants, which are typically nontraditional restaurants, such as
airports, with substantially lower average unit volumes than
traditional restaurant locations.
    System-Sales Growth includes the results of all restaurants
regardless of ownership including unconsolidated affiliates (joint
ventures), company-owned, franchise and license restaurants. Sales of
unconsolidated affiliates (joint ventures), franchise and license
restaurants generate franchise and license fees for the company
(typically at a rate of 4% to 6% of sales). Unconsolidated affiliates
(joint ventures), franchise and license restaurant sales are not
included in company sales we present on the Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Income; however, the franchise fees previously defined
are included in the company's revenues. We believe system-sales growth
is useful to investors as a significant indicator of the overall
strength of our business as it incorporates all our revenue drivers,
company and franchise same-store sales as well as new-restaurant
development.
    System Same-Store-Sales Growth is the estimated growth in sales of
all restaurants that have been open one year or more regardless of
ownership including unconsolidated affiliates (joint ventures),
company-owned, franchise and license restaurants.
    Systemwide U.S. Same-Store Sales include all company, franchise
and license restaurants that have been open one year or more. U.S.
same-store sales include KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Long John Silver's
and A&W restaurants.
    U.S. Blended Same-Store Sales include only company restaurants
that have been open one year or more. U.S. blended same-store sales
include KFC, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell company-owned restaurants only.
U.S. same-store sales for Long John Silver's and A&W restaurants are
not included.

    Yum! Brands Inc., based in Louisville, Kentucky, is the world's
largest restaurant company in terms of system restaurants with nearly
34,000 restaurants in more than 100 countries and territories. Four of
the company's restaurant brands -- KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and Long
John Silver's -- are the global leaders of the chicken, pizza,
Mexican-style food and quick-service seafood categories respectively.
Yum! Brands is the worldwide leader in multibranding, which offers
consumers more choice and convenience at one restaurant location from
a combination of KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, A&W or Long John Silver's
brands. The company and its franchisees today operate over 3,100
multibrand restaurants. Outside the United States in 2004, the Yum!
Brands' system opened about three new restaurants each day of the
year, making it one of the fastest growing retailers in the world. The
company has been recognized in Black Enterprise Magazine as one of the
"30 Best Companies for Diversity" and for the past three years in
Fortune's "Top 50 Employers for Minorities."

        Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measurements to GAAP Results
            (amounts in millions, except per share amounts)

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 on a basis before special items.  Special items include the
GAAP income statement captions of Wrench litigation and AmeriServe and
other charges (credits).  These amounts are described in (f) and (g)
in the accompanying notes.

The Company uses earnings before special items as a key performance
measure of results of operations for purposes 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 facilitate the
comparison of past and present operations, excluding items that the
Company does not believe are indicative of our ongoing operations.

             Notes to the Consolidated Summary of Results,
                 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets
          and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
            (amounts in millions, except per share amounts)

(a) Percentages may not recompute due to rounding.

(b) In 2005, we began reporting information for our international
    business in two separate operating segments as a result of changes
    to our management structure. The China Division includes mainland
    China ("China"), Thailand and KFC Taiwan, 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.

    In 2005, we also changed the China business reporting calendar to
    more closely align the timing of the reporting of its results of
    operations with our U.S. business. Previously our China business,
    like the rest of our international businesses, closed one month
    (or one period for certain of our international businesses)
    earlier than YUM's period end date to facilitate consolidated
    reporting. To maintain comparability of our consolidated results
    of operations, net income of the China business of $6 million for
    the one month period ended December 31, 2004 was recognized as an
    adjustment to consolidated retained earnings in the year to date
    ended September 3, 2005, as opposed to being recorded in our
    Consolidated Statement of Income. Our consolidated results of
    operations for the quarter and year to date ended September 3,
    2005 include the results of operations of the China business for
    the months of June, 2005 through August, 2005 and January, 2005
    through August, 2005, respectively, and the months to be included
    in future quarterly reporting periods will begin one month later
    than in previous years. Our consolidated results of operations for
    the quarter and year to date ended September 4, 2004 continue to
    include the results of operations of the China business for the
    months of May, 2004 through July, 2004 and December, 2003 through
    July, 2004, respectively.

(c) Franchisee sales represent the combined estimated sales of
    unconsolidated affiliate, franchise and license restaurants.
    Franchisee sales, which are not included in the Company sales we
    present on the Consolidated Statements of Income, generate
    franchise and license fees (typically at a rate of 4% to 6% of
    sales) that are included in the Company's revenues.

    Asset impairment charges in the quarter ended September 3, 2005
    primarily resulted from decisions to close certain KFC and LJS
    restaurants.

(e) Other (income) expense includes equity income from investments in
    unconsolidated affiliates. In the quarter and year to date ended
    September 3, 2005 other (income) expense also includes a partial
    financial recovery of $14 million related to a China supplier
    ingredient issue. In the year to date ended September 3, 2005
    other (income) expense also includes a $17 million gain associated
    with the IPO of our Poland/Czech Republic business.

(f) Income of $2 million was recorded for the quarter and year to date
    ended September 3, 2005 from a settlement with an insurance
    carrier related to the legal judgment against Taco Bell Corp. on
    June 4, 2003, in Wrench v. Taco Bell Corp.

(g) Amounts recorded as AmeriServe and other charges (credits)
    primarily result from cash recoveries related to the AmeriServe
    bankruptcy reorganization process, which were not significant for
    both the quarter and year to date ended September 3, 2005.

(h) For the quarter and year to date ended September 3, 2005, we
    repurchased approximately 3.8 million shares and 13.6 million
    shares of our Common Stock, respectively, at an average price of
    $50 per share for both quarter and year to date.

Multibrand conversions increase the sales and points of distribution
for the second brand added to a restaurant but do not result in an
additional unit count. Similarly, a new multibrand restaurant, while
increasing sales and points of distribution for two brands, results in
just one additional unit count.

(a) Amounts do not reflect 189 International Division multibrand units
    in operation at the end of the period. There are no multibrand
    units in the China Division.
