    David C. Novak, Chairman and CEO, said, "I am pleased to report
2005 was another year where we demonstrated the underlying power of
our global portfolio of leading restaurant brands. Fueled by continued
profitable international expansion, including a record 409 new
restaurants in our China Division, another year of consistent
same-store-sales performance from Taco Bell and a clear turnaround at
KFC U.S., we achieved 13% EPS growth prior to special items and
expensing stock options. This makes the fourth straight year of
delivering on our commitment of at least 10% EPS growth.
    "Importantly for shareholders, this past year YUM reached several
new milestones. We set new records in key areas: generated cash from
operating activities of over $1.2 billion; earned over $1.1 billion in
franchise fees; returned $1.2 billion to our shareholders through
share buybacks and dividends. Additionally, we raised our quarterly
dividend rate by 15% after establishing a dividend in 2004.
    "As we start 2006, we are very confident we can continue to build
on our track record of growing EPS at least 10% each year. The key
drivers are opening over 1,500 new restaurants globally and growing
U.S. same-store sales by +2% to +3%. Given the strength of our
fourth-quarter performance, we have raised our full-year 2006 EPS
estimate one cent to $2.79 or at least 10% growth.
    "Shareholders should expect us to continue building consistent
value by differentiating our global portfolio of brands and driving
profitable global expansion through our four key strategies: building
dominant restaurant brands in China, driving profitable international
expansion, improving restaurant operations, and multibranding
category-leading brands."

    Key growth drivers for the Yum! Restaurants International (YRI)
Division are new-restaurant openings across an array of international
markets and leveraging our substantial infrastructure in place around
the world. Over the long term, we expect our international franchise
partners to open 85% or more of YRI new restaurants.
    Yum! Restaurants International opened 377 new restaurants in the
fourth quarter and 780 new restaurants for the year. This included 394
KFCs, 336 Pizza Huts, 36 A&Ws, and 11 Taco Bells. Our franchise and
joint-venture partners opened 93% of the 780 new restaurants.
    For the fourth quarter and full year, revenue growth in local
currency terms was impacted by two unusual factors. First,
refranchising (including Puerto Rico market in late 2004) negatively
impacted fourth-quarter and full-year revenue growth by 7 and 10
percentage points respectively. For the full-year 2005, the company
refranchised 137 restaurants. Second, a 53rd (extra) week in 2005
benefited revenue growth for the fourth quarter and full year by 4 and
1 percentage points respectively.
    For the fourth quarter and full year, results for company
operations were below target primarily due to negative
same-store-sales performance in the U.K. and Pizza Hut South Korea.
This adversely affected company sales, company restaurant profit
growth and company restaurant-margin percentage for both the fourth
quarter and full year. Mexico and Australia both contributed
positively to the fourth-quarter results.
    Strong performance continued in YRI's franchise-only markets of
Asia, Middle East, southern Africa, Europe and Caribbean/Latin America
that drove overall growth for YRI in both the fourth quarter and full
year. These markets represent KFC and Pizza Hut franchise businesses
in more than 100 countries and territories and approximately 40% of
overall YRI profit. For the fourth quarter, system-sales growth for
the franchise-only markets was 12% in local currency terms including
6% growth in the number of restaurants. This led strong performance in
YRI franchise fee growth. Overall, YRI franchise fees (in local
currency terms) grew by 18% in the fourth quarter and 15% for the full
year.
    For the full-year 2005, YRI produced system-sales growth of 5% in
local currency terms and prior to the benefit of the 53rd week. This
performance was right on our long-term target of at least +5% growth
in system sales (local currency terms). The system-sales growth was
driven by record new-restaurant openings and positive system
same-store-sales growth. Operating profit, excluding options expense,
grew by 14%; 11% in local currency terms. The 53rd extra week added $6
million of profit in the fourth quarter and full year.
    For 2006, YRI expects to again open over 700 new restaurants for
the seventh consecutive year, generate at least 5% growth in system
sales (local currency), improve restaurant-margin percentage and grow
operating profit by about 10%. Capital spending is targeted at about
$120 million.
    Foreign currency conversion did not significantly impact
fourth-quarter operating profit. For the full year, the impact was a
positive $11 million. For 2006, a negative impact is expected on
operating profit of about $10 million including $4 million in the
first quarter.

    A key growth driver for the China Division is rapid new-restaurant
expansion of multiple Yum! restaurant brands and leveraging our
significant infrastructure in mainland China.
    Overall, system restaurants in operation grew 19%. During the
fourth quarter, a total of 157 new restaurants were opened. For the
full year, there were a record 409 new-restaurant openings, of which
71% were by the company. The new openings included 341 KFCs, 53 Pizza
Hut Casual Dining restaurants, 11 Pizza Hut Home Service locations and
3 East Dawnings.
    Fourth-quarter performance was negatively impacted by consumer
concerns related to avian flu and the lingering effects of consumers'
reactions to a seasoning-supplier issue in the second quarter.
Restaurant margin decreased 5.9 percentage points versus the prior
year primarily as a result of negative same-store sales in
company-operated KFC restaurants in mainland China.
    Operating profit for the fourth quarter benefited by $10 million
of financial recovery from a seasoning supplier and by $24 million for
the full year (included in other income). As communicated in our
third-quarter 2005 earnings release, operating profit in the fourth
quarter was adversely impacted by the change in reporting calendar
timing for 2005. This reduced fourth-quarter profit by an estimated $6
million and benefited the third quarter by a like amount.
    For the full-year 2005, the China Division in local currency terms
produced system-sales growth of 11%, below our ongoing target for at
least 22% growth. The aforementioned seasoning-supplier issue and
consumer concerns related to avian flu adversely impacted sales and
operating-profit growth for a substantial portion of 2005.
    For 2006, the company expects system sales growth of at least 22%
in local currency terms and at least 20% growth in operating profit.
Capital spending is targeted at about $170 million.
    Foreign currency conversion added about $2 million to operating
profit for the fourth quarter and $3 million for the full year 2005.
For 2006, a positive impact is expected on operating profit of about
$10 million.

    Key growth drivers for this business segment are positive
same-store-sales growth, improvements in productivity related to the
cost structure and franchise development.
    Refranchising of company restaurants negatively impacted
fourth-quarter and full-year revenue growth by 3 and 2 percentage
points respectively. When company restaurants are refranchised,
revenue from these restaurants changes from company sales to franchise
royalty fees, significantly reducing the company's reported revenue
for those restaurants. During 2005, 244 U.S. company restaurants were
refranchised.
    Excluding the benefit of the extra 53rd week, the primary driver
of revenue growth for the fourth quarter and full year was higher
same-store sales. Operating profit increased 5% for the fourth
quarter, excluding the benefit of the 53rd week and stock options
expense. Fourth quarter restaurant-margins improved by 1.4 percentage
points prior to expensing stock options. The 53rd week added $20
million of profit in the fourth quarter and full year.
    For the full year 2005, excluding stock options expense, U.S.
operating profit increased 1% and restaurant margin improved slightly.
    For 2006, the company expects +2% to +3% U.S. blended
same-store-sales growth, an additional 550 system multibrand
restaurants, improved restaurant-margin percentage, and operating
profit growth of at least 5%. Capital spending is forecast to total
about $380 million.
    In terms of changing trends, we experienced higher-than-expected
energy costs (approximately $3 million) in the fourth quarter. We
expect this trend to continue into first-quarter 2006 with
year-over-year utility inflation of approximately 20%.

    CORPORATE EXPENSES, OTHER INCOME & EXPENSES

    For the fourth quarter, the increase in unallocated and corporate
expense versus last year was due in large part to $7 million of
additional expense for discontinuing corporate software development
projects and $6 million in stock options expense. We also recorded a
$2 million nonrecurring increase to long-term liabilities related to
employee benefits (an additional $5 million was recorded in the U.S.
"Payroll and Employee Benefits" line). An additional $3 million of G&A
expense was incurred for the extra 53rd week.
    Finally, we recorded a $6 million adjustment to our previously
recorded gain relating to the IPO of our Poland/Czech Republic
franchise business during the second quarter of 2005, which is
reflected in the unallocated other income (expense) line.
    For the full year 2005, the increase in unallocated and corporate
expense versus 2004 was due to $19 million in stock options expense
and $16 million of charges related to potential resolution of certain
litigation matters.

    CASH FLOW

    For the full year 2005, the company generated a record $1,238
million in net cash provided by operating activities, invested $609
million of capital spending in the business and repurchased $1,056
million of its own shares; 21 million shares were repurchased at an
average cost of $50.

STOCK-OPTIONS EXPENSING

We adopted SFAS 123R, "Share-Based Payment," in the fourth quarter
2005 retroactive to the beginning of 2005. Accordingly, our results
for the first three quarters of the year have been restated, as shown
in the following table, to reflect the numbers previously disclosed on
a pro forma basis in accordance with SFAS 123 "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation." Prior year numbers were not adjusted and do
not reflect any expense related to stock options.

    CHINA DIVISION SALES UPDATE

    Preliminary results for January 2006 show sales in the China
Division grew by an estimated +22% in local currency terms. Timing of
the Chinese New Year, occurring in late January this year versus
February last year, positively impacted sales. Estimated first-quarter
2006 system-sales growth is expected to be at least +12% in
local-currency terms, lapping strong growth of +26% in 2005 (including
+65% in February 2005 or Period 3, 2005). Final January sales results
for our China Division will be reported in the company's Period 2
results, to be released March 2, 2006.

    Yum! Brands Inc., based in Louisville, Kentucky, is the world's
largest restaurant company in terms of system restaurants with over
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 3,200
multibrand restaurants. Outside the United States in 2005, 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. For
the past three years, the company has been recognized as one of
Fortune Magazine's "Top 50 Employers for Minorities." It also has been
recognized as one of the "Top 50 Employers for Women" by Fortune, one
of the "Top 30 Best Companies for Diversity" by Black Enterprise
Magazine, one of the "Corporate 100 Companies Providing Opportunities
for Hispanics" by Hispanic Magazine and by BusinessWeek as one of the
"Top 15 Companies for In-Kind Corporate Philanthropy."

        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 stock option expense and special items.
Special items include the GAAP income statement captions of Wrench
litigation and AmeriServe and other charges (credits). Stock option
expense relates to the fourth quarter adoption of SFAS No. 123
(Revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R"), which replaces
SFAS 123, supersedes APB 25 and related interpretations and amends
SFAS No. 95, "Statement of Cash Flows." SFAS 123R requires all
share-based compensation, including grants of employee stock options,
to be recognized in the consolidated statement of income based on fair
value. We adopted SFAS 123R using the modified retrospective
application transition method effective September 4, 2005, with
retroactive application to the beginning of the fiscal year of
adoption (our fiscal year 2005). As such, the first three fiscal
quarters of 2005 have been restated to recognize the compensation cost
previously reported in the pro forma footnote disclosures under the
provisions of SFAS 123. However, years prior to 2005 have not been
restated. The adoption of SFAS 123R in 2005 resulted in a reduction of
operating profit of $58 million, a reduction of net income of $38
million (net of tax benefits of $20 million), a reduction of diluted
earnings per share of $0.13 per share, a reduction of $87 million in
cash flows from operating activities and an increase of $87 million in
cash flows from financing activities.

The Company used earnings before stock option expensing and before
special items as a key performance measure of results of operations
for purposes of evaluating performance internally and determining
incentive compensation in 2005. 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 results before special items and stock option expense
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 and the adoption of
SFAS 123R which did not impact our financial statements in the quarter
and year to date ended December 25, 2004. Additionally, we are
providing the impact of stock option expensing by segment and by

             Notes to the Consolidated Summary of Results,
                      Consolidated Balance Sheets
               and 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 December 31, 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 December 31,
    2005 include the results of operations of the China business for
    the months of September, 2005 through December, 2005 and January,
    2005 through December, 2005, respectively. Our consolidated
    results of operations for the quarter and year to date ended
    December 25, 2004 continue to include the results of operations of
    the China business for the months of August, 2004 through
    November, 2004 and December, 2003 through November, 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.

(e) Other (income) expense includes equity income from investments in
    unconsolidated affiliates. In the quarter and year to date ended
    December 31, 2005 other (income) expense also includes a partial
    financial recovery of $10 million and $24 million, respectively,
    related to a China supplier ingredient issue. In the year to date
    ended December 31, 2005 other (income) expense also includes a $11
    million gain associated with the IPO of our Poland/Czech Republic
    business, including a $6 million adjustment to the previously
    recorded gain in the quarter ended December 31, 2005.

(f) Income of $2 million was recorded for the year to date ended
    December 31, 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) Income of $2 million was recorded for the quarter and year to date
    ended December 31, 2005 as AmeriServe and other charges (credits).
    The amount primarily resulted from cash recoveries related to the

    AmeriServe bankruptcy reorganization process.

(h) For the quarter and year to date ended December 31, 2005, we
    repurchased approximately 7.7 million shares and 21.3 million
    shares of our Common Stock, respectively, at an average price of
    $49 and $50 per share for the quarter and year to date,
    respectively.

(i) We have reclassified dividends received from our unconsolidated
    affiliates on the consolidated statements of cash flows from
    investing activities to operating activities, for all years
    presented. These dividend distributions represent returns of
    equity investments, and therefore have been reclassified to be in
    accordance with SFAS 95, "Accounting for Cash Flows." There was no
    impact on the previously reported consolidated statements of
    income or consolidated balance sheets as a result of these
    reclassifications. Dividends received from unconsolidated
    affiliates were $44 million and $55 million for the years ended
    2005 and 2004, respectively.
