Greg Creed Comments

Greg Creed, CEO, said “EPS exceeded our original expectations in the second quarter and I'm pleased with the continued progress we are making in China, as well as the performance from our Taco Bell and KFC Divisions. I’m confident we will deliver full-year EPS growth of at least 10%, driven by a strong second half in China and solid brand-building initiatives underway at each of our divisions.

China Division restaurant margin in the second quarter was an encouraging 14.6%, even though same-store sales declined 10%, reinforcing our belief in significant profit leverage as sales recover. We expect substantial same-store sales and profit growth in the second half given overall trends in sales and brand perceptions. Furthermore, the China Division remains on track to open at least 700 new restaurants this year, laying the groundwork for future growth.

Outside of China, Taco Bell is firing on all cylinders driven by industry-leading innovation and a solid breakfast platform. KFC continues to produce consistently positive results in both emerging and developed markets, including our U.S. business. At Pizza Hut, results continue to be soft, but we are taking clear steps to get the business back on track.

Internationally, we’re on pace to set a new record this year by opening 2,100 new restaurants, extending our lead in emerging markets. All of this should help us to achieve double-digit earnings growth this year, despite ongoing headwinds from foreign currency translation.

Our goal remains building three iconic, global brands people trust and champion, while delivering shareholder value through our three key drivers: same-store sales growth, new-unit development and high returns on invested capital. As we continue to strengthen our business around the world, I'm confident that this formula will produce consistent double-digit EPS growth over the long term.”

Special Items / Share Repurchase Update

• In 2010, we refranchised our Mexico equity market but did not sell the underlying real estate. During the quarter, we initiated plans to sell this real estate, and as a result, we wrote down the carrying value of our Mexico business to its fair value, triggering a $68 million non-cash Special Items charge to Refranchising Loss. This charge negatively impacted reported EPS by $0.13 for the quarter, while benefiting our ex-Special tax rate by 2 percentage points.
• Year-to-date through July 13, 2015, we repurchased 4.4 million shares totaling $363 million at an average price of $82.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measurements to GAAP Results

(amounts in millions, except per share amounts)

(unaudited)

In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") throughout this document, the Company has provided non-GAAP measurements which present operating results in 2015 and 2014 on a basis before Special Items. Included in Special Items are losses associated with the refranchising of equity markets outside the U.S., costs associated with the KFC U.S. Acceleration Agreement and U.S. refranchising gain. These amounts are described in (c), (d) and (e) in the accompanying notes.

The Company uses earnings before Special Items as a key performance measure of results of operations for the purpose of evaluating performance internally and Special Items are not included in any of our segment results. This non-GAAP measurement is not intended to replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP. Rather, the Company believes that the presentation of earnings before Special Items provides additional information to investors to facilitate the comparison of past and present operations, excluding items in the quarters ended June 13, 2015 and June 14, 2014 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 June 13, 2015 are preliminary.

(b) Other (income) expense for the China Division primarily consists of equity (income) loss from investments in unconsolidated affiliates.

(c) 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. The sales price we expect to receive for this real estate exceeds its book value. However, the sale of the real estate will represent a substantial liquidation of our Mexican operations under U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, we are required to include accumulated translation losses associated with our Mexican business within our held for sale impairment evaluations. As such, we recorded a $68 million non-cash Special Items charge to Refranchising Loss, consistent with the classification of the original market refranchising transaction, representing the excess of the sum of the book value of the real estate and our accumulated translation losses over the expected sales price for the real estate. Our current expectation is that the real estate sale will close late in 2015 with limited, if any, additional pre-tax gain or loss. The refranchising is ultimately expected to result in a taxable gain as the anticipated proceeds will exceed the tax basis in the real estate, though the related tax expense will not be recognized until the sale closes.

Additionally, during the quarter ended June 13, 2015 we recognized a Special Items charge of $5 million associated with the decision to offer to refranchise our Pizza Hut Korea restaurants. None of these restaurants have yet to meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale and additional charges may occur as the refranchising plans move forward. Such charges are not expected to be material at this time.

(d) During the first quarter of 2015, we reached an agreement with our KFC U.S. franchisees that will give us brand marketing control as well as an accelerated path to improved assets and customer experience. In connection with this agreement we recognized a Special Items charge of $8 million for the quarter ended June 13, 2015, primarily related to the funding of investments for new back-of-house equipment for franchisees. We continue to expect a total charge of approximately $90 million in 2015 for these and other investments we agreed to fund.

(e) During both the quarters ended June 13, 2015 and June 14, 2014, we recorded Special Items gains of $1 million related to refranchising in the U.S. During the years to date ended June 13, 2015 and June 14, 2014, we recorded Special Items gains of $8 million and $3 million, respectively, related to refranchising in the U.S.
