NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
(Tabular amounts in millions, except per share data)
Note 1 -
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, 2023 (“2023 Form 10-K”).
Yum! Brands, Inc. and its Subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as the “Company,” “YUM,” “we,” “us” or “our”) franchise or operate a system of over
59,000
restaurants in more than
155
countries and territories. As of March 31, 2024,
98
% of these restaurants were owned and operated by franchisees. The Company’s KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut brands are global leaders of the chicken, Mexican-style and pizza categories, respectively. The Habit Burger Grill is a fast-casual restaurant concept specializing in made-to-order chargrilled burgers, sandwiches and more.
As of March 31, 2024, YUM consisted of
four
operating segments:
•
The KFC Division which includes our worldwide operations of the KFC concept
•
The Taco Bell Division which includes our worldwide operations of the Taco Bell concept
•
The Pizza Hut Division which includes our worldwide operations of the Pizza Hut concept
•
The Habit Burger Grill Division which includes our worldwide operations of the Habit Burger Grill concept
YUM's fiscal year begins on January 1 and ends December 31 of each year, with each quarter comprised of
three
months. The majority of our U.S. subsidiaries and certain international subsidiaries operate on a weekly periodic calendar where the first three quarters of each fiscal year consist 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. For subsidiaries that operate on this weekly periodic calendar, 2024 will include a 53rd week. 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 2023 Form 10-K, the results of the interim periods presented. Our results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in shareholders' deficit 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.
We have reclassified certain items in the Financial Statements for the prior periods to be comparable with the classification for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported Net Income.

Effective tax rate
18.0
%
19.1
%
Our estimated effective tax rate for the full fiscal year is expected to be higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of
21
%, primarily due to state income taxes and U.S. taxes on foreign earnings partially offset by taxes on income earned in foreign jurisdictions with statutory tax rates below
21
%.
The first quarter effective tax rate was lower than the prior year primarily due to favorable developments in the current quarter related to uncertain tax positions as well as favorability associated with higher tax deductions for share-based compensation, partially offset by higher taxes paid in foreign jurisdictions where our intellectual property rights are domiciled.

Pension Benefits
We sponsor qualified and supplemental (non-qualified) noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering certain full-time salaried and hourly U.S. employees. The most significant of these plans, the YUM Retirement Plan (the “Plan”), is qualified and funded. We fund our other U.S. plans as benefits are paid. Our two significant U.S. plans, including the Plan and a supplemental plan, were previously amended such that any salaried employee hired or rehired by YUM after September 30, 2001, is not eligible to participate in those plans. Additionally, these two plans in the U.S. are currently closed to new hourly participants.

Subsequent to the first quarter, on April 26, 2024, KFC Holding Co., Pizza Hut Holdings, LLC and Taco Bell of America, LLC (collectively, the "Borrowers"), each of which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, completed the refinancing of the then outstanding $
713
million under the Term Loan A Facility and $
1.25
billion capacity under the Revolving Facility through the issuance of a $
500
million term loan A facility and a $
1.5
billion revolving facility pursuant to an amendment to the Credit Agreement (as defined in our 2023 Form 10-K). The transaction did not add any additional net new debt to the Company's Balance Sheet. The new term loan A facility and the revolving facility will mature on the earliest of (i) April 26, 2029, (ii) the date that is 91 days prior to the March 15, 2028 maturity of the Borrowers’ existing Term Loan B Facility if more than $250
15
million of such Term Loan B remains outstanding as of such date and (iii) the date that is 91 days prior to the June 1, 2027 maturity of the Borrowers’ existing Subsidiary Senior Unsecured Notes if more than $250 million of such Subsidiary Senior Unsecured Notes remains outstanding as of such date. Further, the Amendment removes the excess cash flow mandatory prepayment requirement with respect to the new term loan A facility. All other material provisions of the Credit Agreement remain unchanged.
Cash paid for interest during the quarter ended March 31, 2024, was $
101
million. Cash paid for interest during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 was $
104
million.
Note 11 -
Derivative Instruments
We use derivative instruments to manage certain of our market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. Our use of foreign currency contracts to manage foreign currency exchange rates associated with certain foreign currency denominated intercompany receivables and payables is currently not significant.
Interest Rate Swaps
We have entered 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 primarily under our Term Loan B Facility. At both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had interest rate swaps expiring in March 2025 with notional amounts of $
1.5
billion. These interest rate swaps have been 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 March 31, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
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 March 31, 2024, the swaps were highly effective cash flow hedges.
Gains and losses on these interest rate swaps recognized in OCI and reclassifications from AOCI into Net Income were as follows:

As of March 31, 2024, the estimated net gain included in AOCI related to our cash flow hedges that will be reclassified into earnings in the next 12 months is $
28
million, based on current Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") interest rates.
Total Return Swaps
We have entered into total return swap derivative contracts, with the objective of reducing our exposure to market-driven changes in certain of the liabilities associated with compensation deferrals into our Executive Income Deferral (“EID”) plan. While these total return swaps represent economic hedges, we have not designated them as hedges for accounting purposes. As a result, the changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized immediately in earnings within General and administrative expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income largely offsetting the changes in the associated EID liabilities. The fair value associated with the total return swaps as of both March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, was not significant.
As a result of the use of derivative instruments, 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 March 31, 2024, all of the counterparties to our derivative instruments had investment grade ratings
16
according to the three major ratings agencies. To date, all counterparties have performed in accordance with their contractual obligations.
See Note 12 for the fair value of our derivative assets and liabilities.
Note 12 -
Fair Value Disclosures
As of March 31, 2024, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings and accounts payable approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of our notes receivable, net of allowances, and lease guarantees, less reserves for expected losses, approximates their carrying value.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The Company has interest rate swaps and other investments, all of which are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis (see Note 11 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.

Investments as of December 31, 2023, primarily included our approximate
5
% minority interest in Devyani International Limited (“Devyani”), a franchise entity that operates KFC and Pizza Hut restaurants in India, with a fair value of $
124
million. During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, we sold our ownership interest in Devyani for pre-tax proceeds of $
104
million and recognized pre-tax investment losses of $
20
million related to changes in fair value during the quarter prior to the date of sale.

Contingencies
Internal Revenue Service Proposed Adjustment
As a result of an audit by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for fiscal years 2013 through 2015, in August 2022, we received a Revenue Agent’s Report (“RAR”) from the IRS asserting an underpayment of tax of $2.1 billion plus $418 million in penalties for the 2014 fiscal year. Additionally, interest on the underpayment is estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion through the first quarter of 2024. The proposed underpayment relates primarily to a series of reorganizations we undertook during that year in connection with the business realignment of our corporate and management reporting structure along brand lines. The IRS asserts that these transactions resulted in taxable distributions of approximately $6.0 billion.
We disagree with the IRS’s position as asserted in the RAR and intend to contest that position vigorously. In September 2022, we filed a Protest with the IRS Examination Division disputing on multiple grounds the proposed underpayment of tax and penalties.
We have received the IRS Examination Division’s Rebuttal to our Protest and the case has been accepted by the IRS Office of Appeals.
The Company does not expect resolution of this matter within twelve months and cannot predict with certainty the timing of such resolution. The Company believes that it is more likely than not the Company’s tax position will be sustained; therefore, no reserve is recorded with respect to this matter.
An unfavorable resolution of this matter could have a material, adverse impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in future periods.
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-owned restaurants, and guaranteeing certain other leases, we are frequently secondarily liable on lease agreements. These leases have varying terms, the latest of which expires in
2065
. As of March 31, 2024, the potential amount of undiscounted payments we could be required to make in the event of non-payment by the primary lessee was approximately $
375
million. The present value of these potential payments discounted at our pre-tax cost of debt at March 31, 2024, was approximately $
300
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 agreement in the event of non-payment under the lease. We believe these cross-default provisions significantly reduce the risk that we will be required to make payments under these leases, although such risk may not be reduced in the context of a bankruptcy or other similar restructuring of a large franchisee or group of franchisees. The liability recorded for our expected losses under such leases as of March 31, 2024, was not material.
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.
India Regulatory Matter
Yum! Restaurants India Private Limited (“YRIPL”), a YUM subsidiary that operates KFC and Pizza Hut restaurants in India, is the subject of a regulatory enforcement action in India (the “Action”). The Action alleges, among other things, that KFC International Holdings, Inc. and Pizza Hut International failed to satisfy certain conditions imposed by the Secretariat for Industrial Approval in 1993 and 1994 when those companies were granted permission for foreign investment and operation in India. The conditions at issue include an alleged minimum investment commitment and store build requirements as well as limitations on the remittance of fees outside of India.
The Action originated with a complaint and show cause notice filed in 2009 against YRIPL by the Deputy Director of the Directorate of Enforcement (“DOE”) of the Indian Ministry of Finance following an income tax audit for the years 2002 and 2003. The matter was argued at various hearings in 2015, but no order was issued. Following a change in the incumbent official holding the position of Special Director of DOE (the “Special Director”), the matter resumed in 2018 and several additional hearings were conducted.
18
On January 29, 2020, the Special Director issued an order imposing a penalty on YRIPL and certain former directors of approximately Indian Rupee 11 billion, or approximately $135 million. Of this amount, $130 million relates to the alleged failure to invest a total of $80 million in India within an initial seven-year period. We have been advised by external counsel that the order is flawed and have filed a writ petition with the Delhi High Court, which granted an interim stay of the penalty order on March 5, 2020. In November 2022, YRIPL was notified that an administrative tribunal bench had been constituted to hear an appeal by DOE of certain findings of the January 2020 order, including claims that certain charges had been wrongly dropped and that an insufficient amount of penalty had been imposed. A hearing with the administrative tribunal that had been scheduled for March 4, 2024 has been rescheduled to July 30, 2024. A hearing held on March 21, 2024, before the Delhi High Court has been continued to July 4, 2024, and the stay order remains in effect. We deny liability and intend to continue vigorously defending this matter. We do not consider the risk of any significant loss arising from this order to be probable.
Other Matters
We are currently engaged in various other legal proceedings and have certain unresolved claims pending, the ultimate liability for which, if any, cannot be determined at this time. However, based upon consultation with legal counsel, we are of the opinion that such proceedings and claims are not expected to have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Subsequent Event
KFC U.K. and Ireland Store Acquisition
On April 29, 2024, we completed the previously announced acquisition of
216
KFC restaurants from a franchisee in the U.K. and Ireland. Consideration for this acquisition consists of approximately
$
180
million in cash, subject to customary post-closing adjustments.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Introduction and Overview
The following Management's Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”), should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“Financial Statements”), the Forward-Looking Statements and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, (“2023 Form 10-K”). All Note references herein refer to the Notes to the Financial Statements. Tabular amounts are displayed in millions of U.S. dollars except per share and unit count amounts, or as otherwise specifically identified. Percentages may not recompute due to rounding.
Yum! Brands, Inc. and its Subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as the “Company,” “YUM,” “we,” “us” or “our”) franchise or operate a system of over 59,000 restaurants in more than 155 countries and territories, primarily under the concepts of KFC, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and The Habit Burger Grill (collectively, the “Concepts”). The Company’s KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut brands are global leaders of the chicken, Mexican-style and pizza categories, respectively. The Habit Burger Grill, is a fast-casual restaurant concept specializing in made-to-order chargrilled burgers, sandwiches and more. Of the over 59,000 restaurants, 98% are operated by franchisees.
YUM currently consists of four operating segments:
•
The KFC Division which includes our worldwide operations of the KFC concept
•
The Taco Bell Division which includes our worldwide operations of the Taco Bell concept
•
The Pizza Hut Division which includes our worldwide operations of the Pizza Hut concept
•
The Habit Burger Grill Division which includes our worldwide operations of the Habit Burger Grill concept
Through our Good Growth Strategy we intend to unlock the growth potential of our Concepts and YUM, drive increased collaboration across our Concepts and geographies and consistently deliver better customer experiences, improved unit economics and higher rates of growth. Key enablers include accelerated use of technology and better leverage of our systemwide scale.
Our global citizenship and sustainability strategy is reflected in our Good agenda, which includes our priorities for social responsibility, risk management and sustainable stewardship of our people, food and planet.
Our Growth agenda is based on four key drivers:
•
Unrivaled Culture and Talent: Leverage our culture and people capability to fuel brand performance and franchise success
•
Unmatched Operating Capability: Recruit and equip the best restaurant operators in the world to deliver great customer experiences
•
Relevant, Easy and Distinctive Brands: Innovate and elevate iconic restaurant brands people trust and champion
•
Bold Restaurant Development: Drive market and franchise unit expansion with strong economics and value
We intend for this MD&A to provide the reader with information that will assist in understanding our results of operations, including performance metrics that management uses to assess the Company's performance. Throughout this MD&A, we commonly discuss the following performance metrics:
•
Same-store sales growth is the estimated percentage change in system sales of all restaurants that have been open and in the YUM system for one year or more, including those temporarily closed. From time-to-time restaurants may be temporarily closed due to remodeling or image enhancement, rebuilding, natural disasters, health epidemic or pandemic, landlord disputes or other issues. The system sales of restaurants we deem temporarily closed remain in our base for purposes of determining same-store sales growth and the restaurants remain in our unit count (see below). Same-store sales growth excludes, for subsidiaries operating on a monthly calendar, the extra day resulting from a leap year and excludes, for subsidiaries operating on a weekly periodic calendar, the last week of the year in fiscal years with 53 weeks. We believe same-store sales growth is useful to investors because our results are heavily dependent on the results of our Concepts' existing store base. Additionally, same-store sales growth is reflective of the strength of our Brands, the effectiveness of our operational and advertising initiatives and local economic and consumer trends.
•
Gross unit openings reflects new openings by us and our franchisees. Net new unit growth reflects gross unit openings offset by permanent store closures, by us and our franchisees. To determine whether a restaurant meets the definition of a unit we consider whether the restaurant has operations that are ongoing and independent from another YUM unit, serves the primary product of one of our Concepts, operates under a separate franchise agreement (if operated by a franchisee) and
20
has substantial and sustainable sales. We believe gross unit openings and net new unit growth are useful to investors because we depend on new units for a significant portion of our growth. Additionally, gross unit openings and net new unit growth are generally reflective of the economic returns to us and our franchisees from opening and operating our Concept restaurants.
•
System sales and System sales excluding the impacts of foreign currency translation (“FX”) reflect the results of all restaurants regardless of ownership, including Company-owned and franchise restaurants. Sales at franchise restaurants typically generate ongoing franchise and license fees for the Company at a rate of 3% to 6% of sales. Increasingly, customers are paying a fee to a third party to deliver or facilitate the ordering of our Concepts' products. We also include in System sales any portion of the amount customers pay these third parties for which the third party is obligated to pay us a license fee as a percentage of such amount. Franchise restaurant sales and fees paid by customers to third parties to deliver or facilitate the ordering of our Concepts' products are not included in Company sales on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income; however, any resulting franchise and license fees we receive 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 our primary revenue drivers, Company and franchise same-store sales as well as net unit growth.
In addition to the results provided in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (
“
GAAP
”
), the Company provides the following non-GAAP measurements:
•
Diluted Earnings Per Share excluding Special Items (as defined below);
•
Effective Tax Rate excluding Special Items;
•
Core Operating Profit. Core Operating Profit excludes Special Items and FX and we use Core Operating Profit for the purposes of evaluating performance internally;
•
Company restaurant profit and Company restaurant margin as a percentage of sales (as defined below).
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 these non-GAAP measurements provide additional information to investors to facilitate the comparison of past and present operations.
Special Items are not included in any of our Division segment results as the Company does not believe they are indicative of our ongoing operations due to their size and/or nature. Our chief operating decision maker does not consider the impact of Special Items when assessing segment performance.
Company restaurant profit is defined as Company sales less Company restaurant expenses, both of which appear on the face of our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Company restaurant expenses include those expenses incurred directly by our Company-owned restaurants in generating Company sales, including cost of food and paper, cost of restaurant-level labor, rent, depreciation and amortization of restaurant-level assets and advertising expenses incurred by and on behalf of that Company restaurant. Company restaurant margin as a percentage of sales (“Company restaurant margin %”) is defined as Company restaurant profit divided by Company sales. We use Company restaurant profit for the purposes of internally evaluating the performance of our Company-owned restaurants and we believe Company restaurant profit provides useful information to investors as to the profitability of our Company-owned restaurants. In calculating Company restaurant profit, the Company excludes revenues and expenses directly associated with our franchise operations as well as non-restaurant-level costs included in General and administrative expenses, some of which may support Company-owned restaurant operations. The Company also excludes restaurant-level asset impairment and closures expenses, which have historically not been significant, from the determination of Company restaurant profit as such expenses are not believed to be indicative of ongoing operations. Company restaurant profit and Company restaurant margin % as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies in the industry.
Certain performance metrics and non-GAAP measurements are presented excluding the impact of FX. These amounts are derived by translating current year results at prior year average exchange rates. We believe the elimination of the FX impact provides better year-to-year comparability without the distortion of foreign currency fluctuations.

(a) Due to their size and volatility, we have reflected as Special Items those refranchising gains and losses that were recorded in connection with market-wide refranchisings. During the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we recorded net refranchising losses of $3 million and net refranchising gains of $3 million, respectively, that have been reflected as Special Items.
Additionally, we recorded net refranchising gains of $8 million and $1 million during the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, that have not been reflected as Special Items. These net refranchising gains relate to refranchising of restaurants unrelated to market-wide refranchisings that we believe are indicative of our expected ongoing refranchising activity.
(b)
In April 2023, we completed our exit from the Russia market by selling the KFC business in Russia to Smart Service Ltd. Our GAAP operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 presented herein reflect revenues from and expenses to support the Russian operations for KFC prior to the date of sale, within their historical financial statement line items and operating segments. However, given our decision to exit Russia and our pledge to direct any future net profits attributable to Russia subsequent to the date of invasion of Ukraine to humanitarian efforts, we reclassed such net operating profits or losses from the KFC Division segment results to Unallocated Other income (expense). Additionally, we incurred certain expenses related to the disposition of the business and other one-time costs related to our exit from Russia which we recorded within Corporate and unallocated G&A and Unallocated Franchise and property expenses. The resulting net Operating Loss of $3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 has been reflected as a Special Item.
(c)
We recorded charges of $21 million and $3 million during the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, to General and administrative expenses related to a resource optimization program. This program has allowed us to reallocate significant resources to accelerate our digital, technology and innovation capabilities to deliver a modern, world-class team member and customer experience and improve unit economics. We have recently expanded the program to identify further opportunities to optimize the Company’s spending and identify additional, critical areas in which to potentially reallocate resources, both with a goal to enable the acceleration of the Company’s growth rate. Costs incurred to date related to the program primarily include severance associated with positions that have been eliminated or relocated and consultant fees. Due to their scope and size, these charges have been reflected as Special Items.

Tax (Benefit) Expense on Special Items Operating Profit and Interest Expense was determined by assessing the tax impact of each individual component within Special Items based upon the nature of the item and jurisdictional tax law.
Other Income Tax impacts recorded as Special in the quarter ended March 31, 2024 include benefits related to the reversal of a reserve due to the favorable resolution of a tax audit in a foreign jurisdiction. Such reserve was established in prior years related to income tax liabilities originally recorded as a Special Item as part of an intercompany restructuring of intellectual property.

Items Impacting Reported Results and Reasonably Likely to Impact Future Results
The following items impacted reported results in 2024 and/or 2023 and/or are reasonably likely to impact future results. See also the Detail of Special Items in this MD&A for other items similarly impacting results.
27
Middle East Conflict
During the fourth quarter of 2023, certain of our markets, principally in our KFC and Pizza Hut Divisions, began being impacted by a military conflict in the Middle East region. While the impacts from the Middle East conflict have been scattered and difficult to measure, we believe the markets most impacted by the conflict, which include markets in the Middle East, Indonesia and Malaysia, collectively created a low single-digit headwind to YUM's overall same-store sales growth during the quarter ended March 31, 2024. We continue to expect this impact to decrease with sales improving in the most impacted markets over the balance of 2024.
Impact of Foreign Currency Translation on Operating Profit
Changes in foreign currency exchange rates negatively impacted the translation of our foreign currency denominated Divisional Operating Profit by $11 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. This included a negative impact to our KFC Division Operating Profit of $10 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. We currently expect changes in foreign currency to negatively impact Divisional Operating Profit by approximately $20 to $30 million on a full-year basis.
Investment in Devyani
During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, we sold our approximate 5% minority investment in Devyani International Limited ("Devyani"), a franchise entity that operates KFC and Pizza Hut restaurants in India, for pre-tax proceeds of $104 million. Changes in the fair value of our ownership interest in Devyani prior to the date of sale resulted in pre-tax investment losses of $20 million and $23 million in the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
KFC Division
The KFC Division has 30,251 units, 87% of which are located outside the U.S. Additionally, 99% of the KFC Division units were operated by franchisees as of March 31, 2024.

The quarterly decrease in Company sales, excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, was driven by a Company same-store sales decline of 4%.
The quarterly increase in Company restaurant margin percentage was driven by the impact of closing units with low restaurant margin percentages, partially offset by a Company same-store sales decline.
Franchise and property revenues
The quarterly decrease in Franchise and property revenues, excluding the impacts of foreign currency translation, was driven by a 3% negative impact from the sale of our KFC Russia business and a franchise same-store sales decline of 2%, partially offset by unit growth.
G&A
The quarterly decrease in G&A, excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, was driven by the impact of the sale of the KFC Russia business.
Operating Profit
The quarterly increase in Operating Profit, excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, was driven by unit growth and lower Franchise and property expenses, primarily due to lapping global franchise convention expenses in the prior year, partially offset by a same-store sales decline.
Taco Bell Division
The Taco Bell Division has 8,555 units, 87% of which are in the U.S. The Company owned 7% of the Taco Bell units in the U.S. as of March 31, 2024.

Company sales and Company restaurant margin %
The quarterly increase in Company sales was driven by unit growth and Company same-store sales growth of 2%.
The quarterly increase in Company restaurant margin percentage was driven by same-store sales growth partially offset by higher labor and other restaurant operating costs.
Franchise and property revenues
The quarterly increase in Franchise and property revenues was driven by unit growth and franchise same-store sales growth of 1%.
G&A
The quarterly increase in G&A was driven by increased legal costs, higher digital and technology expenses and higher headcount and salaries partially offset by lower share-based compensation.
Operating Profit
The quarterly increase in Operating Profit was driven by unit growth and same-store sales growth partially offset by higher restaurant operating costs, higher Franchise advertising and other service expense primarily related to digital and technology expenses, higher bad debt expense lapping prior year net bad debt recoveries for past due franchise receivables and increased G&A.
Pizza Hut Division
The Pizza Hut Division has 19,942 units, 67% of which are located outside the U.S. The Pizza Hut Division uses multiple distribution channels including delivery, dine-in and express (e.g. airports) and includes units operating under both the Pizza Hut and Telepizza brands.

Corporate and unallocated G&A
The quarterly increase in Corporate and Unallocated G&A expense was driven by costs associated with our resource optimization program, partially offset by lapping costs related to the prior year ransomware attack.
Interest expense, net
The quarterly decrease in Interest expense, net was primarily driven by lower borrowings and higher interest income, partially offset by a higher weighted-average interest rate.
Consolidated Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities
was $363 million in 2024 versus $349 million in 2023. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in Operating Profit before Special Items and timing of spending on advertising, partially offset by higher income tax payments.
Net cash provided by investing activities
was $45 million in 2024 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $56 million in 2023. The change was primarily driven by proceeds from the sale of our approximate 5% minority investment in Devyani in 2024.
Net cash used in financing activities
was $247 million in 2024 versus $334 million in 2023. The change was primarily driven by lower net debt repayments and lapping prior year share repurchases.
32
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have historically generated substantial cash flows from our extensive franchise operations, which require a limited YUM investment, and from the operations of our Company-owned stores. Our annual operating cash flows have been in excess of $1.3 billion in each of the past five years and we expect that to continue to be the case in 2024. It is our intent to use these operating cash flows to continue to invest in growing our business and pay a competitive dividend, with any remaining excess then returned to shareholders through share repurchases. To the extent operating cash flows plus other sources of cash do not cover our anticipated cash needs, we maintain a $1.25 billion Revolving Facility under our Credit Agreement that was undrawn as of March 31, 2024. The borrowing capacity under our Revolving Facility was increased to $1.5 billion as part of the April 2024 refinancing of the Credit Agreement as discussed in Note 10. We believe that our ongoing cash from operations, cash on hand, which was approximately $650 million at March 31, 2024, and availability under our Revolving Facility will be sufficient to fund our cash requirements over the next twelve months.
There have been no material changes to the disclosures made in Item 7 of the Company's 2023 Form 10-K regarding our material cash requirements. Due to the ongoing significance of our debt obligations, we are providing the update below.
Debt Instruments
As of March 31, 2024, approximately 94%, including the impact of interest rate swaps, of our $11.2 billion of total debt outstanding, excluding finance leases and debt issuance costs and discounts, is fixed with an effective overall interest rate of approximately 4.6%. We ended the quarter with a consolidated net leverage ratio of 4.1x EBITDA. We continually reassess our optimal leverage ratio to maximize shareholder returns. We target a capital structure which we believe provides an attractive balance between optimized interest rates, duration and flexibility with diversified sources of liquidity and maturities spread over multiple years.
We have credit ratings of BB+ (Standard & Poor's)/Ba2 (Moody's).
The following table summarizes the future maturities of our outstanding long-term debt, excluding finance leases and debt issuance costs and discounts, as of March 31, 2024.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which updates reportable segment disclosure requirements through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The standard is effective for the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2024, and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the impact of the standard on our disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which updates income tax disclosure requirements related to the income tax rate reconciliation and requires disclosure of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The standard is effective for the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2025 with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of the standard on our disclosures.

The Company has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the evaluation, performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”), the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by the report.

There were no changes with respect to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting or in other factors that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2024.
Forward-Looking Statements
Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts and by the use of forward-looking words such as “expect,” “expectation,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “may,” “could,” “intend,” “belief,” “plan,” “estimate,” “target,” “predict,” “likely,” “seek,” “project,” “model,” “ongoing,” “will,” “should,” “forecast,” “outlook” or similar terminology. Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, estimates, assumptions and/or projections, our perception of historical trends and current conditions, as well as other factors that we believe are appropriate and reasonable under the circumstances. Forward-looking statements are neither predictions nor guarantees of future events, circumstances or performance and are inherently subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those indicated by those statements. There can be no assurance that our expectations, estimates, assumptions and/or projections will be achieved. Factors that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from our expectations and forward-looking statements include (i) the factors described in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in Part I, Item 2 of this report, (ii) any risks and uncertainties described in the Risk Factors included in Part II, Item 1A of this report, (iii) the factors described in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in Part II, Item 7 of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and (iv) the risks and uncertainties described in the Risk Factors included in Part I, Item 1A of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Yum! Brands, Inc.:
Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Yum! Brands, Inc. and subsidiaries (YUM) as of March 31, 2024, the related condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows and shareholders’ deficit for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated interim financial information). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial information for it to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of YUM as of December 31, 2023, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows and shareholders’ deficit for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 20, 2024, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
This consolidated interim financial information is the responsibility of YUM’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to YUM in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of consolidated interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
