NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

(Tabular amounts in millions, except per share data)

 

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 United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Therefore, we suggest that the accompanying Financial Statements be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 (“2005 Form 10-K”). Except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2005 Form 10-K.

 

Our Financial Statements include YUM! Brands, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “YUM” or the “Company”). The Financial Statements include the worldwide operations of KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Long John Silver’s (“LJS”) and A&W All-American Food Restaurants (“A&W”) (collectively the “Concepts”). References to YUM throughout these notes to our Financial Statements are made using the first person notations of “we,” “us” or “our.”

 

Our preparation of the accompanying Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 the estimates.

 

In our opinion, the accompanying Financial Statements include all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary to present fairly, when read in conjunction with our 2005 Form 10-K, our financial position as of June 17, 2006, the results of our operations for the quarters and years to date ended June 17, 2006 and June 11, 2005 and cash flows for the years to date ended June 17, 2006 and June 11, 2005. Our results of operations 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 certain 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 accompanying Financial Statements and Notes to the Financial Statements in order to be comparable with the current classifications. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income.

 

2.   Share-Based Compensation

 

In the fourth quarter 2005, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123R”), which replaced SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”), superseded APB 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations and amended SFAS No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” We adopted SFAS 123R using the modified retrospective application transition method effective September 4, 2005, the beginning of our fourth quarter in 2005. As permitted by SFAS 123R, we applied the modified retrospective application transition method to the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption (our fiscal year 2005). As such, the results for the first three quarters of 2005, including the quarter and year to date ended June 11, 2005, were adjusted to recognize the compensation cost previously reported in the pro forma footnote disclosures under the provisions of SFAS 123.

During the year to date ended June 17, 2006, we granted 4.0 million stock appreciation rights to employees to redeem shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the average market price on the date of grant. The weighted-average exercise price of these stock appreciation rights was approximately $49.

5.   New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Recognized

 

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” (“FIN 48”) an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN 48 requires that a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return be recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not (i.e. a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. A recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. We have not yet determined the impact of the recognition and measurement requirements of FIN 48 on our existing tax positions. Upon adoption, the cumulative effect of applying the recognition and measurement provisions of FIN 48, if any, shall be reflected as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.

 

FIN 48 requires that subsequent to initial adoption a change in judgment that results in subsequent recognition, derecognition or change in a measurement of a tax position taken in a prior annual period (including any related interest and penalties) be recognized as a discrete item in the period in which the change occurs. Currently, we record such changes in judgment, including audit settlements, as a component of our annual effective rate. Thus, our reported quarterly income tax rate may become more volatile upon adoption of FIN 48. This change will not impact the manner in which we record income tax expense on an annual basis.

 

FIN 48 also requires expanded disclosures including identification of tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months, a description of tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdiction, a tabular reconciliation of the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits at the beginning and end of each annual reporting period, the total

 

8

 

 

amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate and the total amounts of interest and penalties recognized in the statements of operations and financial position. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, the year beginning December 31, 2006 for the Company.

9.   Pension and Postretirement Medical Benefits

 

We sponsor defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all full-time U.S. salaried employees, certain U.S. hourly employees and certain international employees. The most significant of these plans, the YUM Retirement Plan (the “Plan”), covers U.S. employees. Our postretirement plan provides health care benefits, principally to U.S. salaried retirees and their dependents, and includes retiree cost sharing provisions. The defined benefit pension plans covering U.S. employees and our postretirement plan were amended during 2001 such that any salaried employee that was hired or rehired after September 30, 2001 is not eligible to participate.

 

The components of net periodic benefit cost for our defined benefit pension plans covering U.S. employees and our postretirement plan are as follows:

As disclosed in our 2005 Form 10-K, based on current funding rules, we are not required to make contributions to the Plan in 2006. No contributions were made to the Plan during the quarter and year to date ended June 17, 2006. While we may make discretionary contributions to the Plan during the year, we do not currently intend to do so. We made a contribution of approximately $18 million to one of our International plans during the quarter ended June 17, 2006.

 

11

 

 

 

 

10.   Debt

 

In April, 2006, we issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of 6.25% Senior Unsecured Notes due April 15, 2016 (the “Notes”). The Notes represent senior, unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness. We used $200 million of the proceeds from these Notes to repay our 8.5% Senior Unsecured Notes that matured in April 2006 and we will use the remainder for general corporate purposes.

 

In anticipation of issuing the Notes, we entered into treasury locks during the quarter ended March 25, 2006 with aggregate notional amounts of $250 million to hedge the risk of changes in future interest payments attributable to changes in United States Treasury rates prior to issuance of the Notes. As these treasury locks were designated and effective in offsetting this variability in cash flows associated with the future interest payments, the resulting gain from settlement of these treasury locks of approximately $8 million is being amortized over the ten year life of the Notes as a reduction in interest expense.

 

As of June 17, 2006, the fair values of our interest rate swaps with notional amounts of $850 million decreased from a liability position of $5 million at December 31, 2005 to a liability position of $35 million at June 17, 2006 due to increases in interest rates.

 

11.   Russian Acquisition

 

On March 24, 2006, we finalized an agreement with Rostik’s Restaurant Ltd. (“RRL”), a franchisor and operator of a chicken chain in Russia known as Rostik’s, under which we acquired the Rostik’s brand and associated intellectual property for $15 million ($10 million of which has been paid as of June 17, 2006). We will provide financial support, including loans and guarantees, up to $30 million to support future development by RRL in Russia. This agreement also includes a put/call option that may be exercised, subject to certain conditions, between the fifth and seventh year whereby ownership of then existing restaurants would be transferred to YRI.

 

The co-branding as Rostik’s/KFC of ninety-four existing Rostik’s units and the eighteen existing KFC franchise restaurants in Russia is underway.

 

12.   Guarantees, Commitments and Contingencies

 

Lease Guarantees and Contingencies

 

As a result of (a) assigning our interest in obligations under real estate leases as a condition to the refranchising of certain Company restaurants; (b) contributing certain Company restaurants to unconsolidated affiliates; and (c) guaranteeing certain other leases, we are frequently contingently liable on lease agreements. These leases have varying terms, the latest of which expires in 2031. As of June 17, 2006 and December 31, 2005, the potential amount of undiscounted payments we could be required to make in the event of non-payment by the primary lessee was $360 million and $374 million, respectively. The present value of these potential payments discounted at our pre-tax cost of debt at June 17, 2006 was $289 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. Accordingly, the liability recorded for our probable exposure under such leases at June 17, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was not material.

 

Franchise Loan Pool Guarantees - We had provided approximately $16 million of partial guarantees of two franchisee loan pools related primarily to the Company’s historical refranchising programs and, to a lesser extent, franchisee development of new restaurants, at June 17, 2006 and December 31, 2005. In support of these guarantees, we posted letters of credit of $4 million. We also provide a standby letter of credit of $18 million under which we could potentially be required to fund a portion of one of the franchisee loan pools. The total

 

12

 

 

loans outstanding under these loan pools were approximately $76 million and $77 million at June 17, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

 

Any funding under the guarantees or letters of credit would be secured by the franchisee loans and any related collateral. We believe that we have appropriately provided for our estimated probable exposures under these contingent liabilities. These provisions were primarily charged to refranchising (loss) gain.

 

Insurance Programs

 

We are self-insured for a substantial portion of our current and prior years’ coverage including workers’ compensation, employment practices liability, general liability, automobile liability and property losses (collectively, “property and casualty losses”). To mitigate the cost of our exposures for certain property and casualty losses, we make annual decisions to self-insure the risks of loss up to defined maximum per occurrence retentions on a line by line basis or to combine certain lines of coverage into one loss pool with a single self-insured aggregate retention. The Company then purchases insurance coverage, up to a certain limit, for losses that exceed the self-insurance per occurrence or aggregate retention. The insurers’ maximum aggregate loss limits are significantly above our actuarially determined probable losses; therefore, we believe the likelihood of losses exceeding the insurers’ maximum aggregate loss limits is remote.

 

In the U.S. and in certain other countries, we are also self-insured for healthcare claims and long-term disability for eligible participating employees subject to certain deductibles and limitations. We have accounted for our retained liabilities for self-insured property and casualty losses, healthcare and long-term disability claims, including reported and incurred but not reported claims, based on information provided by independent actuaries.

 

Due to the inherent volatility of actuarially determined property and casualty loss estimates, it is reasonably possible that we could experience changes in estimated losses which could be material to our growth in quarterly and annual net income. We believe that we have recorded reserves for property and casualty losses at a level which has substantially mitigated the potential negative impact of adverse developments and/or volatility.

 

Change of Control Severance Agreements  

 

The Company has severance agreements with certain key executives (the “Agreements”) that are renewable on an annual basis. These Agreements are triggered by a termination, under certain conditions, of the executive’s employment following a change in control of the Company, as defined in the Agreements. If triggered, the affected executives would generally receive twice the amount of both their annual base salary and their annual incentive, at the higher of target or actual for the preceding year, a proportionate bonus at the higher of target or actual performance earned through the date of termination, outplacement services and a tax gross-up for any excise taxes. These Agreements have a three-year term and automatically renew each January 1 for another three-year term unless the Company elects not to renew the Agreements. If these Agreements had been triggered as of June 17, 2006, payments of approximately $36 million would have been made. In the event of a change of control, rabbi trusts would be established and used to provide payouts under existing deferred and incentive compensation plans.

 

Litigation  

 

We are subject to various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, taxes, environmental and other matters arising out of the normal course of business. We provide reserves for such claims and contingencies when payment is probable and estimable in accordance with SFAS No. 5 “Accounting for Contingencies.”

 

On August 13, 2003, a class action lawsuit against Pizza Hut, Inc., styled Coldiron v. Pizza Hut, Inc., was filed in the United States District Court, Central District of California. Plaintiff alleges that she and other current and former Pizza Hut Restaurant General Managers (“RGMs”) were improperly classified as exempt employees

 

13

 

 

under the U.S. Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”). There is also a pendent state law claim, alleging that current and former RGMs in California were misclassified under that state’s law. Plaintiff seeks unpaid overtime wages and penalties. On May 5, 2004, the District Court granted conditional certification of a nationwide class of RGMs under the FLSA claim, providing notice to prospective class members and an opportunity to join the class. Approximately 12 percent of the eligible class members have elected to join the litigation. However, on June 30, 2005, the District Court granted Pizza Hut’s motion to strike all FLSA class members who joined the litigation after July 15, 2004. The effect of this order is to reduce the number of FLSA class members to only approximately 88 (or approximately 2.5% of the eligible class members).

 

In November 2005, the parties agreed to a settlement. The Court granted preliminary approval of the settlement on June 28, 2006. We have provided for the settlement amount in our Financial Statements. The parties will now proceed with the final fairness hearing and class notice, with conclusion of this matter expected in late 2006.

 

On November 26, 2001, a lawsuit against Long John Silver’s, Inc. (“LJS”) styled Kevin Johnson, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated v. Long John Silver’s, Inc. (“Johnson”) was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, Nashville Division. Johnson’s suit alleged that LJS’s former “Security/Restitution for Losses” policy (the “Policy”) provided for deductions from RGMs’ and Assistant Restaurant General Managers’ (“ARGMs”) salaries that violate the salary basis test for exempt personnel under regulations issued pursuant to the FLSA. Johnson alleged that all RGMs and ARGMs who were employed by LJS for the three year period prior to the lawsuit – i.e., since November 26, 1998 – should be treated as the equivalent of hourly employees and thus were eligible under the FLSA for overtime for any hours worked over 40 during all weeks in the recovery period. In addition, Johnson claimed that the potential members of the class are entitled to certain liquidated damages and attorneys’ fees under the FLSA.

 

LJS believed that Johnson’s claims, as well as the claims of all other similarly situated parties, should be resolved in individual arbitrations pursuant to LJS’s Dispute Resolution Program (“DRP”), and that a collective action to resolve these claims in court was clearly inappropriate under the current state of the law. Accordingly, LJS moved to compel arbitration in the Johnson case. LJS and Johnson also agreed to stay the action effective December 17, 2001, pending mediation and entered into a tolling agreement for that purpose. After mediation did not resolve the case, and after limited discovery and a hearing, the Court determined on June 7, 2004, that Johnson’s individual claims should be referred to arbitration. Johnson appealed, and the decision of the District Court was affirmed in all respects by the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit on July 5, 2005.

 

On December 19, 2003, counsel for plaintiff in the above referenced Johnson lawsuit, filed a separate demand for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) on behalf of former LJS managers Erin Cole and Nick Kaufman (the “Cole Arbitration”). Claimants in the Cole Arbitration demand a class arbitration on behalf of the same putative class - and the same underlying FLSA claims - as were alleged in the Johnson lawsuit. The complaint in the Cole Arbitration subsequently was amended to allege a practice of deductions (distinct from the allegations as to the Policy) in violation of the FLSA salary basis test, and to add Victoria McWhorter, another LJS former manager, as an additional claimant. LJS has denied the claims and the putative class alleged in the Cole Arbitration, and it is LJS’s position that the claims of Cole, Kaufman, and McWhorter should be individually arbitrated.

 

Arbitrations under LJS’s DRP, including the Cole Arbitration, are governed by the rules of the AAA. In October 2003, the AAA adopted its Supplementary Rules for Class Arbitrations (“AAA Class Rules”). The AAA appointed an arbitrator for the Cole Arbitration. On June 15, 2004, the arbitrator issued a clause construction award, ruling that the DRP does not preclude class arbitration. LJS moved to vacate the clause construction award in the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina. On September 15, 2005, the federal court in South Carolina ruled that it did not have jurisdiction to hear LJS’s motion to vacate. LJS has appealed the U.S. District Court’s ruling to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. LJS has also filed a motion to vacate the clause construction award in South Carolina state court. While judicial review of the clause construction award was pending in the U.S. District Court, the arbitrator permitted claimants to move for a class determination award, which was opposed by LJS. On September 19, 2005, the

 

14

 

 

arbitrator issued a class determination award, certifying a class of LJS’s RGMs and ARGMs employed between December 17, 1998, and August 22, 2004, on FLSA claims, to proceed on an opt-out basis under the AAA Class Rules. That class determination award was upheld on appeal by the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina on January 20, 2006, and the arbitrator declined to reconsider the award. LJS has appealed the ruling of the U.S. District Court to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. LJS has also filed a motion to vacate the class determination award in South Carolina state court.

 

LJS believes that the DRP provides for individual arbitrations. LJS also believes that if the Cole Arbitration must proceed on a class basis, (i) the proceedings should be governed by the opt-in collective action structure of the FLSA, and (ii) a class should not be certified under the applicable provisions of the FLSA. LJS also believes that each individual should not be able to recover for more than two years (and a maximum three years) prior to the date they file a consent to join the arbitration. We have provided for the estimated costs of the Cole Arbitration, based on a projection of eligible claims, the amount of each eligible claim, the estimated legal fees incurred by the claimants and the results of settlement negotiations in this and other wage and hour litigation matters. But in view of the novelties of proceeding under the AAA Class Rules and the inherent uncertainties of litigation, there can be no assurance that the outcome of the arbitration will not result in losses in excess of those currently provided for.

 

On September 21, 2005, a collective action lawsuit against the Company and KFC Corporation, originally styled Parler v. Yum Brands, Inc., d/b/a KFC, and KFC Corporation, was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota. Plaintiff alleges that he and other current and former KFC Assistant Unit Managers (“AUMs”) were improperly classified as exempt employees under FLSA. Plaintiff seeks overtime wages and liquidated damages. On January 17, 2006, the District Court dismissed the claims against the Company with prejudice, leaving KFC Corporation as the sole defendant. Notice was mailed to current and former AUMs advising them of the litigation and providing an opportunity to join the case if they choose to do so. Plaintiff has requested leave to amend the complaint to add related state law claims.

 

We believe that KFC has properly classified its AUMs as exempt under the FLSA and accordingly intend to vigorously defend against all claims in this lawsuit. However, in view of the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the outcome of this case cannot be predicted at this time. Likewise, the amount of any potential loss cannot be reasonably estimated.

 

On December 17, 2002, Taco Bell was named as the defendant in a class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California styled Moeller, et al. v. Taco Bell Corp. On August 4, 2003, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint that alleges, among other things, that Taco Bell has discriminated against the class of people who use wheelchairs or scooters for mobility by failing to make its approximately 220 company-owned restaurants in California (the “California Restaurants”) accessible to the class. Plaintiffs contend that queue rails and other architectural and structural elements of the Taco Bell restaurants relating to the path of travel and use of the facilities by persons with mobility-related disabilities (including parking spaces, ramps, counters, restroom facilities and seating) do not comply with the U.S. Americans with Disabilities Act (the “ADA”), the Unruh Civil Rights Act (the “Unruh Act”), and the California Disabled Persons Act (the “CDPA”). Plaintiffs have requested: (a) an injunction from the District Court ordering Taco Bell to comply with the ADA and its implementing regulations; (b) that the District Court declare Taco Bell in violation of the ADA, the Unruh Act, and the CDPA; and (c) monetary relief under the Unruh Act or CDPA. Plaintiffs, on behalf of the class, are seeking the minimum statutory damages per offense of either $4,000 under the Unruh Act or $2,000 under the CDPA for each aggrieved member of the class. Plaintiffs contend that there may be in excess of 100,000 individuals in the class. For themselves, the four named plaintiffs have claimed aggregate minimum statutory damages of no less than $16,000, but are expected to claim greater amounts based on the number of Taco Bell outlets they visited at which they claim to have suffered discrimination.

 

On February 23, 2004, the District Court granted Plaintiffs' motion for class certification. The District Court certified a Rule 23(b)(2) mandatory injunctive relief class of all individuals with disabilities who use wheelchairs or electric scooters for mobility who, at any time on or after December 17, 2001, were denied, or

 

15

 

 

are currently being denied, on the basis of disability, the full and equal enjoyment of the California Restaurants. The class includes claims for injunctive relief and minimum statutory damages.

 

Pursuant to the parties’ agreement, on or about August 31, 2004, the District Court ordered that the trial of this action be bifurcated so that stage one will resolve Plaintiffs’ claims for equitable relief and stage two will resolve Plaintiffs’ claims for damages. The parties are currently proceeding with the equitable relief stage of this action. During this stage, Taco Bell filed a motion to partially decertify the class to exclude from the Rule 23(b)(2) class claims for monetary damages. The District Court denied the motion. Plaintiffs filed their own motion for partial summary judgment as to liability relating to a subset of the California Restaurants. The District Court denied that motion as well. Discovery is ongoing as of the date of this report.

 

Taco Bell has denied liability and intends to vigorously defend against all claims in this lawsuit. Although this lawsuit is at a relatively early stage in the proceedings, it is likely that certain of the California Restaurants will be determined to be not fully compliant with accessibility laws and that Taco Bell will be required to take certain steps to make those restaurants fully compliant. However, at this time, it is not possible to estimate with reasonable certainty the potential costs to bring non-compliant California Restaurants into compliance with applicable state and federal disability access laws. Nor is it possible at this time to reasonably estimate the probability or amount of liability for monetary damages on a class wide basis to Taco Bell.

 

Obligations to PepsiCo, Inc. After Spin-off

 

In connection with our October 6, 1997 spin-off from PepsiCo, Inc. (“PepsiCo”) (the “Spin-off”), we entered into separation and other related agreements (the “Separation Agreements”) governing the Spin-off and our subsequent relationship with PepsiCo. These agreements provide certain indemnities to PepsiCo.

 

Under the terms of these agreements, we have indemnified PepsiCo for any costs or losses it incurs with respect to all letters of credit, guarantees and contingent liabilities relating to our businesses under which PepsiCo remains liable. As of June 17, 2006, PepsiCo remains liable for approximately $25 million on a nominal basis related to these contingencies. This obligation ends at the time PepsiCo is released, terminated or replaced by a qualified letter of credit. We have not been required to make any payments under this indemnity.

 

Under the Separation Agreements, PepsiCo maintains full control and absolute discretion with regard to any combined or consolidated tax filings for periods through October 6, 1997. PepsiCo also maintains full control and absolute discretion regarding any common tax audit issues. Although PepsiCo has contractually agreed to, in good faith, use its best efforts to settle all joint interests in any common tax audit issue on a basis consistent with prior practice, there can be no assurance that determinations made by PepsiCo would be the same as we would reach, acting on our own behalf. Through June 17, 2006, there have not been any determinations made by PepsiCo where we would have reached a different determination.

 

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Introduction and Overview

 

YUM! Brands, Inc. and Subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “YUM” or the “Company”) comprises the worldwide operations of KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Long John Silver’s (“LJS”) and A&W All-American Food Restaurants (“A&W”) (collectively “the Concepts”) and is the world’s largest quick service restaurant (“QSR”) company based on the number of system units. YUM is the second largest QSR company outside the U.S. with over 14,000 units.

 

Through its Concepts, YUM develops, operates, franchises and licenses a system of both traditional and non-traditional QSR restaurants. Traditional units feature dine-in, carryout and, in some instances, drive-thru or delivery services. Non-traditional units, which are typically licensed outlets, include express units and kiosks which have a more limited menu and operate in non-traditional locations like malls, airports, gasoline service

 

16

 

 

stations, convenience stores, stadiums, amusement parks and colleges, where a full-scale traditional outlet would not be practical or efficient.

 

The retail food industry, in which the Company competes, is made up of supermarkets, supercenters, warehouse stores, convenience stores, coffee shops, snack bars, delicatessens and restaurants (including the QSR segment), and is intensely competitive with respect to food quality, price, service, convenience, location and concept. The industry is often affected by changes in consumer tastes; national, regional or local economic conditions; currency fluctuations; demographic trends; traffic patterns; the type, number and location of competing food retailers and products; and disposable purchasing power. Each of the Concepts compete with international, national and regional restaurant chains as well as locally-owned restaurants, not only for customers, but also for management and hourly personnel, suitable real estate sites and qualified franchisees.

 

Our business consists of three reporting segments: United States, the International Division and the China Division. The China Division includes mainland China (“China”), Thailand and KFC Taiwan and the International Division includes the remainder of our international operations.

 

The Company’s key strategies are:

 

Building dominant restaurant brands in China

Driving profitable international expansion

Improving restaurant operations

Multibranding category-leading brands

 

The Company is focused on five long-term measures identified as essential to our growth and progress. These five measures and related key performance indicators are as follows:

 

China Division and International Division expansion

 

 

China Division and International Division system-sales growth (local currency)

 

 

Number of new China Division and International Division restaurant openings

 

 

Net China Division and International Division unit growth

 

 

 

Multibrand innovation and expansion

 

 

Number of multibrand restaurant locations

 

 

Number of multibrand units added

 

 

Number of franchise multibrand units added

 

 

 

Portfolio of category-leading U.S. brands

 

 

U.S. blended same store sales growth

 

Global franchise fees

 

 

New restaurant openings by franchisees

 

 

Franchise fee growth

 

 

 

Strong cash generation and returns

 

 

Cash generated from all sources

 

 

Cash generated from all sources after capital spending

 

 

Restaurant margins

 

 

U.S. and International Division operating margins

 

Our progress against these measures is discussed throughout the Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”).

 

 

17

 

 

 

Throughout the MD&A, the Company provides the percentage change excluding the impact of foreign currency translation. These amounts are derived by translating current year results at prior year average exchange rates. We believe the elimination of the foreign currency translation impact provides better year-to-year comparability without the distortion of foreign currency fluctuations.

 

The following MD&A should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“Financial Statements”), the Cautionary Statements and our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 (“2005 Form 10-K”).

 

All Note references herein refer to the accompanying Notes to the Financial Statements. Tabular amounts are displayed in millions except per share and unit count amounts, or as otherwise specifically identified.

 

Significant Known Events, Trends or Uncertainties Impacting or Expected to Impact 2006 Comparisons with 2005

 

The following factors impacted comparability of operating performance for the quarter and/or year to date ended June 17, 2006 or could impact comparisons for the remainder of 2006. Certain of these factors were previously discussed in our 2005 Form 10-K.

 

Mainland China Issues

 

Our KFC business in mainland China was negatively impacted by the interruption of product offerings and negative publicity associated with a supplier ingredient issue experienced in late March 2005 as well as consumer concerns related to Avian Flu in the fourth quarter of 2005. As a result of the aforementioned issues, the China Division experienced system sales growth in the full year 2005 of 11% excluding foreign currency translation which was below our ongoing target of at least 22%. For the quarter and year to date ended June 17, 2006, we achieved China Division growth rates of 29% and 22%, respectively, for system sales and 28% and 23%, respectively, for Company sales, both excluding foreign currency translation. Given these positive trends, we believe KFC sales in mainland China have rebounded from the negative impact of the supplier ingredient issue and Avian Flu.

 

United States Commodity Costs

 

Restaurant profits in the United States were positively impacted by a decline in commodity costs (principally meats and cheese) in the quarter and year to date ended June 17, 2006 versus the quarter and year to date ended June 11, 2005. Commodity costs declined by approximately $16 million and $25 million in the quarter and year to date ended June 17, 2006, respectively. We expect commodity costs in the second half of 2006 to be favorable versus 2005 by an additional $10 million to $15 million with the majority of the benefit occurring in the quarter ending September 9, 2006.

 

Beverage Agreement Contract Termination

 

During the first quarter of 2006, we entered into an agreement with a beverage supplier to certain of our Concepts to terminate a long-term supply contract. As a result of the cash payment we have made to the supplier in connection with this termination, we recorded a charge of $8 million in the quarter ended March 25, 2006. We anticipate entering into an agreement with an alternative beverage supplier for these Concepts in the near future that will provide for more favorable beverage pricing than the agreement being terminated. We anticipate that the contract termination charge we recorded in the quarter ended March 25, 2006 will largely be offset by more favorable beverage pricing for our Concepts recognized the balance of the year such that the net impact on 2006 net income will not be significant. We expect to continue to benefit from the more favorable pricing in 2007 and beyond.

 

 

 

18

 

 

 

Store Portfolio Strategy

 

From time to time we sell Company restaurants to existing and new franchisees where geographic synergies can be obtained or where their expertise can generally be leveraged to improve our overall operating performance, while retaining Company ownership of key U.S. and international markets. In the U.S., we are in the process of increasing franchise ownership of restaurants from 75% currently to 80%. This two-year plan calls for selling approximately 1,000 Company restaurants to franchisees in 2006 and 2007. Through June 17, 2006 107 company restaurants in the U.S. have been sold to franchisees as part of this plan. Refranchisings reduce our reported revenues and restaurant profits and increase the importance of system sales growth as a key performance measure.

In addition to our refranchising program, from time to time we close restaurants that are poor performing, we relocate restaurants to a new site within the same trade area or we consolidate two or more of our existing units into a single unit (collectively “store closures”). Store closure costs (income) includes the net of gains or losses on sales of real estate on which we are not currently operating a Company restaurant, lease reserves established when we cease using a property under an operating lease and subsequent adjustments to those reserves, and other facility-related expenses from previously closed stores.

The impact on operating profit arising from refranchising and Company store closures is the net of (a) the estimated reductions in restaurant profit, which reflects the decrease in Company sales, and general and administrative expenses and (b) the estimated increase in franchise fees from the stores refranchised. The amounts presented below reflect the estimated impact from stores that were operated by us for all or some portion of the comparable period in 2005 and were no longer operated by us as of June 17, 2006. The amounts do not include results from new restaurants that we opened in connection with a relocation of an existing unit or any incremental impact upon consolidation of two or more of our existing units into a single unit.

System sales growth includes the results of all restaurants regardless of ownership, including Company-owned, franchise, unconsolidated affiliate and license restaurants. Sales of franchise, unconsolidated affiliate and license restaurants generate franchise and license fees for the Company (typically at a rate of 4% to 6% of sales). Franchise, unconsolidated affiliate and license restaurants sales are not included in Company sales on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income; however, the franchise and license fees 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 of our revenue drivers, Company and franchise same store sales as well as net unit development.

 

The increases in Worldwide, U.S., International Division and China Division system sales were all driven by new unit development and same store sales growth, partially offset by store closures.

The increase in U.S. restaurant margins as a percentage of sales was driven by lower food costs, the impact of same store sales (due to higher average guest check) on restaurant margins and the impact of improved workers compensation loss trends on our semi-annual actuarial determination of insurance reserves, partially offset by higher occupancy and other costs and higher labor costs. Lower food costs were primarily driven by decreased commodity costs (principally meats and cheese). Higher occupancy and other costs were primarily driven by increases in utility costs. Higher labor costs were primarily driven by higher wages rates and benefits.

The decrease in International Division restaurant margins as a percentage of sales was driven by higher food and paper costs, higher labor costs and the impact of lower margins associated with new units during the initial periods of operations.

 

The increase in China Division restaurant margins as a percentage of sales was driven by the impact of same stores sales growth on restaurant margin including the lapping of the unfavorable impact of the prior year mainland China supplier ingredient issue. These increases were partially offset by the lower margins associated with new units during the initial periods of operations.

The increase in U.S. restaurant margins as a percentage of sales was driven by the impact of same store sales on margin, lower food costs and the impact of improved workers compensation loss trends on our semi-annual actuarial determination of insurance reserves, partially offset by higher occupancy and other costs and higher labor costs. Lower food costs were primarily driven by decreased commodity costs (principally meats and cheese). Higher occupancy and other costs were primarily driven by increases in utility costs. Higher labor costs were primarily driven by higher wages rates and benefits.

 

The decrease in International Division restaurant margins as a percentage of sales was driven by higher food and paper costs, higher labor costs and the impact of lower margins associated with new units during the initial periods of operations. The decrease was partially offset by the favorable impact on restaurant margin of refranchising certain restaurants.

 

The increase in China Division restaurant margins as a percentage of sales was driven by the impact of same stores sales growth on restaurant margin including the lapping of the unfavorable impact of the prior year mainland China supplier ingredient issue. These increases were partially offset by the lower margins associated with new units during the initial periods of operations.

 

Worldwide General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses decreased $9 million or 3% in the quarter and decreased $2 million year to date. The decrease in general and administrative expenses in the quarter and year to date was driven by the lapping of the unfavorable impact of higher prior year litigation related costs and charitable contributions. Such decreases were partially offset by higher compensation related costs, including amounts associated with investments in strategic initiatives in China and other international growth markets.

Neither unallocated and corporate expenses, which comprise general and administrative expenses or unallocated refranchising gain (loss), are allocated to the U.S., International Division or China Division segments for performance reporting purposes. The decrease in unallocated and corporate expenses in both the quarter and year to date was driven by the lapping of the unfavorable impact of higher prior year litigation related costs and charitable contributions. Unallocated other income (expense) in 2005 primarily consists of the $17 million gain related to the sale of our fifty percent interest in an entity as discussed in the Worldwide Other (Income) Expense section.

 

The increase in U.S. operating profit for the quarter was driven by lower commodity costs and the impact of same store sales on restaurant profit (due to higher average guest check) and franchise and license fees. The

 

28

 

 

increases were partially offset by higher restaurant operating costs, the negative impact of refranchising and higher G&A expenses.

 

The increase in U.S. operating profit for the year to date was driven by the impact of same store sales growth on restaurant profit and franchise fees and lower commodity costs. The increases were partially offset by higher restaurant operating costs, the unfavorable impact of refranchising and a charge associated with the termination of a beverage agreement in the quarter ended March 25, 2006.

 

Excluding the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation, International Division operating profit increased 5% in both the second quarter and year-to-date. The increase was primarily driven by the impact of new unit development and same store sales growth on franchise and license fees. The increases were partially offset by lower restaurant profit due primarily to higher restaurant operating costs. Additionally, the increase was partially offset by lower equity income from unconsolidated affiliates and higher closure and impairment expenses.

 

Excluding the favorable impact of foreign currency translation, China Division operating profit increased 130% in the second quarter and 46% year-to-date. The increase is primarily due to the impact of same store sales growth on restaurant profit and franchise and licenses fees and new unit development.

Interest expense increased $4 million or 14% in the quarter and $10 million or 15% year to date. The increases were driven by both an increase in interest rates on the variable rate portion of our debt and borrowings under the International Credit Facility that was entered into the fourth quarter of 2005.

Our effective tax rate for the quarter and year to date increased primarily due to the lapping of prior year items that on a net basis benefited our prior year tax rate. In the quarter and year to date ended June 11, 2005 our tax rate benefited from the reversal of certain tax reserves associated with audits that were settled as well as the recognition of certain foreign tax credits that we were able to substantiate in 2005. This prior year benefit was partially offset by the negative impact of tax provided on foreign earnings we decided to repatriate in 2005. The impact of lapping prior year net tax benefits was partially offset by the recognition, in the current quarter and year to date, of benefit resulting from the reconciliation of previously recorded tax expense to amounts reflected on our tax returns.

Consolidated Cash Flows

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $558 million compared to $571 million in 2005. The decrease was driven by higher income tax payments, partially offset by higher net income.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $159 million versus $157 million in 2005. The increase was driven by the lapping of proceeds related to the sale of our fifty percent interest in our former unconsolidated affiliate in Poland and the Czech Republic and the current year acquisition of the Rostiks brand in Russia, partially offset by lower capital spending in the current year.

 

Net cash used in financing activities was $293 million versus $393 million in 2005. The decrease was primarily driven by an increase in net borrowings, largely attributable to proceeds from the issuance of the $300 million April 2006 Senior Unsecured Notes, a portion of which where used to repay $200 million in 2001 Senior Unsecured Notes that had matured.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Operating in the QSR industry allows us to generate substantial cash flows from the operations of our company stores and from our franchise operations, which require a limited YUM investment. In each of the last four fiscal years, net cash provided by operating activities has exceeded $1 billion. We expect these levels of net cash provided by operating activities to continue in the foreseeable future. Our discretionary spending includes capital spending for new restaurants, acquisitions of restaurants from franchisees, repurchases of shares of our common stock and dividends paid to our shareholders. Though a decline in revenues could adversely impact our cash flows from operations, we believe our operating cash flows, our ability to reduce discretionary spending, and our borrowing capacity will allow us to meet our cash requirements in 2006 and beyond.

 

During the quarter and year to date ended June 17, 2006, we paid cash dividends of $31 million and $63 million, respectively. Additionally, on May 18, 2006, our Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of $0.15 per share of common stock to be distributed on August 4, 2006 to shareholders of record at the close of business on July 14, 2006. The Company is targeting an annual payout ratio of 15% to 20% of net income.

 

Our primary bank credit agreement comprises a $1.0 billion senior unsecured Revolving Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility”) which matures in September 2009. At June 17, 2006, our unused Credit Facility totaled $775 million, net of outstanding letters of credit of $222 million. There were borrowings of $3 million outstanding under the Credit Facility at June 17, 2006. We were in compliance with all debt covenants under this facility at June 17, 2006.

 

Additionally, on November 8, 2005, we executed a $350 million, five-year revolving credit facility (the “International Credit Facility” or “ICF”) on behalf of three of our wholly owned international subsidiaries. There were borrowings of $271 million and available credit of $79 million outstanding under the ICF at June 17, 2006. We were in compliance with all debt covenants under the ICF at June 17, 2006.

 

In April, 2006, we issued $300 million aggregate principal amount of 6.25% Senior Unsecured Notes due April 15, 2016. We used $200 million of the proceeds to repay our 8.5% Senior Unsecured Notes due in April 2006 and we will use the remainder for general corporate purposes. At June 17, 2006 we had $1.6 billion in Senior Notes outstanding. See Note 10 for further details.

 

We estimate that in 2006 capital spending will be approximately $625 million. We also estimate that in 2006 refranchising proceeds, prior to taxes, and sales of property, plant and equipment will total approximately $300 million and employee stock options proceeds, prior to taxes, will be approximately $150.

 

At June 17, 2006, we had remaining capacity to repurchase up to $440 million of our outstanding Common Stock (excluding applicable transaction fees) under the program authorized in March 2006.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

YUM! Brands, Inc.:

 

We have reviewed the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet of YUM! Brands, Inc. and Subsidiaries (“YUM”) as of June 17, 2006, the related Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the twelve and twenty-four weeks ended June 17, 2006 and June 11, 2005, and the related Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the twenty-four weeks ended June 17, 2006 and June 11, 2005. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of YUM’s management.

 

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of 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 Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), 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.

 

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them 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), the Consolidated Balance Sheet of YUM as of December 31, 2005, and the related Consolidated Statements of Income, Cash Flows and Shareholders’ Equity and Comprehensive Income for the year then ended not presented herein; and in our report dated March 2, 2006, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. Our report refers to the adoption of the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Boards’ Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” and the change in method of accounting for share-based payments. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2005 is fairly presented, in all material respects, in relation to the Consolidated Balance Sheet from which it has been derived.

PART II – Other Information and Signatures

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

Information regarding legal proceedings is incorporated by reference from Note 12 to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements set forth in Part I of this report.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

We face a variety of risks that are inherent in our business and our industry, including operational, legal, regulatory and product risks. The following are some of the more significant factors that could affect our business and our results of operations:

 

 

Health concerns arising from outbreaks of Avian Flu and food safety and food-borne illness concerns may have an adverse effect on our business;

 

 

Our foreign operations, which are significant, subject us to risks that could negatively affect our business such as fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and changes in economic conditions, tax systems, consumer preferences, social conditions and political conditions inherent in foreign operations;

 

 

Changes in commodity and other operating costs or supply chain and business disruptions could adversely affect our results of operations;

 

 

Our operating results are closely tied to the success of our franchisees, and any significant inability of our franchisees to operate successfully could adversely affect our operating results;

 

 

We could be party to litigation that could adversely affect us by increasing our expenses or subjecting us to material money damages and other remedies;

 

 

Changes in governmental regulations may adversely affect our business operations;

 

 

We may not attain our target development goals which are dependent upon our ability and the ability of our franchisees to upgrade existing restaurants and open new restaurants and to operate these restaurants on a profitable basis; and

 

 

The restaurant industry in which we operate is highly competitive.

 

These risks are described in more detail under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. We encourage you to read these risk factors in their entirety. Other factors may also exist that we cannot anticipate or that we currently do not consider to be significant based on information that is currently available.
