Yum! Brands Reports Third-Quarter GAAP Operating Profit Growth of 8%

Delivers Core Operating Profit Growth of 11%; Raises Full-Year Core Operating Profit Growth Guidance to At Least 15%

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - October 05, 2016 - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Yum! Brands, Inc. (NYSE: YUM) today reported results for the third quarter ended September 3, 2016, including GAAP EPS of $1.56 and EPS excluding Special Items of $1.09.

System sales growth figures exclude foreign currency translation (“F/X”) and core operating profit growth figures exclude F/X and Special Items. Special Items are not allocated to any segment and therefore only impact worldwide GAAP results. See reconciliation of non-GAAP measurements to GAAP results within this release for further details.

Third-Quarter Highlights

  • KFC Division same-store sales increased 4%, with U.S. same-store sales growing 6%; system sales increased 7%.
  • Taco Bell Division same-store sales increased 3% and system sales increased 5%, while achieving a 21.7% restaurant margin.
  • Worldwide core operating profit grew 11%, with the brand divisions excluding China delivering 11% core operating profit growth in aggregate, ahead of expectations.
  • China core operating profit grew 14%.
  • Opened 475 new restaurants worldwide; 78% of international development occurred in emerging markets.
  • On track to finalize China separation with Yum China Holdings, Inc. expected to begin trading on November 1, 2016 on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “YUMC.”
  • Foreign currency translation negatively impacted operating profit by $34 million.

1 See Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measurements to GAAP Results for further detail of Special Items. Special Items in 2016 are primarily related to a U.S. tax benefit related to previously recognized Little Sheep impairment losses, gains associated with Pizza Hut and Taco Bell U.S. refranchising and costs associated with the planned separation of our China business, U.S. voluntary retirement packages and the agreement reached in 2015 with KFC U.S. franchisees. Special Items in 2015 are primarily related to a non-cash charge associated with refranchising our Mexico business and costs associated with the agreement reached in 2015 with KFC U.S. franchisees, partially offset by U.S. refranchising gains.

Note: All comparisons are versus the same period a year ago. Effective January 2016, the Company’s India business integrated its three restaurant brands into our global KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell Divisions. Prior year figures have been restated to present comparable results.

Full-year GAAP operating profit growth guidance is not provided due to our inability to forecast when gains and losses related to refranchising transactions classified as Special Items will occur, as the timing of these transactions is often outside our control, and the resulting gains and losses are dependent upon future market conditions. 2016 core operating profit growth guidance assumes the China business remains part of the Company through the end of 2016.

Greg Creed Comments

Greg Creed, CEO, said “Yum! Brands delivered third-quarter core operating profit growth of 11% and EPS growth, excluding Special Items, of 9%. For the full year, we are raising our core operating profit growth guidance from at least 14% to at least 15%.

In the third quarter, I was pleased with both KFC’s and Taco Bell’s performance, each of which returned to a focus on core menu items, but in ways that were distinctive, disruptive and relevant. Both brands had accelerating same-store sales growth, despite sluggish QSR industry trends, especially in the U.S. Excluding China, our brand divisions in aggregate delivered core operating profit growth of 11%, which was ahead of our expectations. System sales for the brand divisions excluding China grew 5% in constant currency, driven by KFC where system sales grew 7% with international emerging markets up an impressive 12%. We are excited about the momentum we are seeing in our base business as we embark on the next chapter of growth at our company.

Sales were off to a good start in the first six weeks of the quarter in the China Division. However, anticipated tougher laps in the second half of the third quarter were compounded by an international court ruling on claims regarding the South China Sea, which triggered a series of regional protests and negative sentiment against a few international companies with well-known Western brands. If not for this event, we believe the China Division would have delivered its fifth consecutive quarter of positive same-store sales growth. The good news is the incident was short-lived and the sales impact continued to dissipate through August and September. Despite the protests, Pizza Hut Casual Dining continued its trend of quarterly sequential improvement.

2016 marks the beginning of a massive transformation for Yum! Brands. Step one is the formal separation of our China business, which will become one of China’s largest publicly-traded retail companies with meaningful growth opportunities supported by U.S. governance. New Yum! Brands will become a unique and focused world-class franchisor with consistent, stable cash flow generation and an efficient cost structure that encourages growth. We look forward to sharing the details of our strategic plans for both companies at our New York investor conference on Tuesday, October 11.”

New Global Yum! Core Operating Profit Growth

After the spin-off of our China business, we will reclassify China Division’s historical results and related tax expense, including the first ten months of 2016, to Discontinued Operations within our Income Statement. The China Division’s results presented in Discontinued Operations will include an incremental license fee expense similar to what will be paid by China to Yum! going forward. Likewise, Yum!’s historical results for our KFC and Pizza Hut Divisions, including the first ten months of 2016, will include incremental license fee income from our China business such that recast total net income, including Discontinued Operations, is the same as previously reported results. While we expect to spin-off our China business on October 31, 2016, our operating profit growth targets assume China will remain part of Yum! through the end of 2016.

  • Operating margin increased 2.0 percentage points driven by same-store sales growth.

Special Items / Share Repurchase / Recapitalization Update

  • During the quarter, we recorded a tax benefit of $198 million in Special Items due to our ability to now realize tax benefits associated with previous impairment losses related to Little Sheep that were recognized as Special Items in 2013 and 2014.
  • During the quarter, we incurred a Special Items charge of $20 million for restructuring costs related to U.S. voluntary retirement packages.
  • During the quarter, we incurred a Special Items charge of $10 million for costs related to the planned separation of our China business.
  • During the quarter, we refranchised 94 units outside of China, more than half of which were Pizza Hut units, for proceeds of $61 million. We recorded refranchising gains of $21 million in Special Items.
  • To complete our recapitalization strategy, $4.6 billion of new debt was issued in the third quarter.
  • Year-to-date through October 4, 2016, we repurchased 54.5 million shares totaling $4.5 billion at an average price of $82. Since we announced our intention to separate the China business, we have repurchased approximately $5.3 billion in shares at an average price of $81, reducing our share count by approximately 15%. We expect to repurchase an additional $0.9 billion in shares before the end of 2016 to achieve our previously announced plan to return $6.2 billion of capital to shareholders (excluding dividends) in connection with the separation of our China business.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measurements to GAAP Results

(amounts in millions, except per share amounts)

(unaudited)

 

In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) throughout this document, the Company has provided non-GAAP measurements which present earnings before Special Items, our effective tax rate before Special Items, and Operating profit on a basis before Special Items and foreign currency translation (“Core Operating Profit”). Included in Special Items are costs associated with the planned spin-off of the China business and YUM recapitalization, costs associated with a voluntary retirement program offered to U.S. employees, costs associated with the KFC U.S. Acceleration Agreement, certain refranchising initiatives, a U.S. tax benefit related to previous impairments of our Little Sheep investment, and the impact of the redemption of the Little Sheep noncontrolling interest. These amounts are described in (c), (d), (e), (f), (g) and (h) in the accompanying notes.

The Company excludes Special Items and foreign currency translation impacts for the purposes of evaluating performance internally. Special Items are not included in any of our externally reported segment results. Additionally, we believe the elimination of the foreign currency translation impact provides better year-to-year comparability without the distortion of foreign currency fluctuations, which is quantified by translating current year results at prior year average exchange rates. These non-GAAP measurements are not intended to replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP. Rather, the Company believes that the presentation of earnings before Special Items, our effective tax rate before Special Items, and Core Operating Profit provide additional information to investors to facilitate the comparison of past and present operations, excluding items in the quarters and years to date ended September 3, 2016 and September 5, 2015 that the Company does not believe are indicative of our ongoing operations due to their size and/or nature.

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

(a) Amounts presented as of and for the quarter and year to date ended September 3, 2016 are preliminary.
 
(b) Other (income) expense for the China Division primarily consists of equity (income) loss from investments in unconsolidated affiliates.
 
(c) In connection with our planned separation of the YUM China business into an independent, publicly-traded company and the related recapitalization of YUM, we incurred $10 million and $29 million of costs in the quarter and year to date ended September 3, 2016, respectively, which were recorded in General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses.
 
(d) During the quarter ended September 3, 2016, YUM offered a voluntary retirement program to certain U.S. employees. This program will provide separation pay and benefits to employees who elected to voluntarily separate from YUM. Based on the employees electing to terminate their employment, we recorded a Special Items charge of $20 million in G&A during the quarter ended September 3, 2016.
 
(e) During the first quarter of 2015, we reached an agreement with our KFC U.S. franchisees that gave us brand marketing control as well as an accelerated path to improved assets and customer experience. In connection with this agreement we recognized Special Item charges of $21 million for the quarter ended September 5, 2015. During the years to date ended September 3, 2016 and September 5, 2015, we recognized Special Item charges of $17 million and $31 million, respectively. The majority of these costs were recorded in Franchise and license expense. These charges primarily related to the funding of investments for new back-of-house equipment for franchisees.
 
(f) We have historically recorded refranchising gains and losses in the U.S. as Special Items due to the scope of our U.S. refranchising program and the volatility in associated gains and losses. Beginning in 2016, we are also including all international refranchising gains and losses, excluding China, in Special Items. The inclusion in Special Items of these additional international refranchising gains and losses is the result of the anticipated size and volatility of refranchising initiatives outside the U.S. that will take place in connection with our previously announced plans to have 96% franchise ownership by the end of 2017. During the quarters ended September 3, 2016 and September 5, 2015 we recorded net refranchising gains of $21 million and net refranchising losses of $4 million, respectively, that have been reflected as Special Items. During the years to date ended September 3, 2016 and September 5, 2015 we recorded net refranchising gains of $77 million and net refranchising losses of $69 million, respectively, that have been reflected as Special Items.
 
The third quarter and year to date 2016 net refranchising gains relate primarily to refranchising Pizza Hut and Taco Bell restaurants in the U.S.
 
In 2010 we refranchised our then remaining Company-operated restaurants in Mexico. To the extent we owned it, we did not sell the real estate related to certain of these restaurants, instead leasing it to the franchisee. During the quarter ended June 13, 2015 we initiated plans to sell this real estate and determined it was held for sale in accordance with GAAP. On September 28, 2015, subsequent to our quarter ended September 5, 2015, we sold the real estate for approximately $58 million. While these proceeds exceeded the book value of the real estate, the sale represented a substantial liquidation of our Mexican operations under U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, we were required to include accumulated translation losses associated with our Mexican business within our carrying value when performing impairment evaluations in the quarters subsequent to determining that the real estate was held for sale. We recorded charges of $12 million and $80 million in the quarter and year to date ended September 5, 2015, respectively, representing the excess of the sum of the book value of the real estate and other related assets and our accumulated translation losses over the then expected sales price. Consistent with the classification of the original market refranchising transaction, these charges were classified as Refranchising Loss within Special Items. We did not record any additional charges as a result of the consummation of the sale.
 
Additionally, during the quarter and year to date ended September 5, 2015 we recognized Special Items charges of $8 million and $13 million, respectively, within Refranchising (gain) loss associated with the decision to offer to refranchise our Pizza Hut Korea restaurants.
 
(g) During the quarter ended September 3, 2016, we recorded a tax benefit of $198 million in Special Items due to our ability to now realize tax benefits associated with previous impairment losses related to Little Sheep that were recognized as Special Items in 2013 and 2014.
 
(h) During the quarter ended June 11, 2016, the Little Sheep founding shareholders exercised their redemption rights and sold their remaining 7% Little Sheep ownership interest to YUM. The difference between the purchase price and the carrying value of this redeemable noncontrolling interest was recorded as an $8 million loss attributable to noncontrolling interest, which was reflected as a Special Item consistent with the 2012 Little Sheep acquisition gain and subsequent impairments.
