David C. Novak, Chairman and CEO, said, “Very strong sales and profit at all of our divisions, including China, Yum! Restaurants International, India and the U.S., drove 19% third-quarter EPS growth. Given the strength of our year-to-date results, I’m pleased to report we are raising our full-year EPS growth forecast to at least 13%, excluding Special Items.

In China, our category-leading brands and competitive positions are stronger than ever. China system sales grew 22% as we opened 192 new restaurants and delivered same-store sales growth of 6%; operating profit grew 22%, prior to foreign currency translation. Importantly, China restaurant margin performance improved dramatically from the second quarter, once again demonstrating the ongoing strength of our business model. This strong performance, combined with our new expectation to open over 750 high-return new restaurants this year, further demonstrates why we are so confident in the long-term growth of our China business. Yum! Restaurants International (YRI) reported its best quarterly operating profit performance of the year with growth of 14%, prior to foreign currency translation. YRI, combined with Yum! Restaurants India, will have a record year of new unit development. When you add it all up for Yum!, we will open at least 1,750 new restaurants outside the U.S., further strengthening our leadership position in emerging markets. At the same time, our heightened operations focus and product innovation has driven much better performance in the U.S., with all three brands growing sales, margin and profit.

We expect 2012 to be our eleventh consecutive year of delivering at least 13% EPS growth, prior to Special Items. Our consistent track record is evidence that Yum! Brands is capable of delivering strong double-digit growth even in the most challenging economic times. We expect this to continue as we build on our track record of at least 10% EPS growth in 2013 and well into the future.”

OWNERSHIP / SPECIAL ITEMS UPDATE

• In the U.S., we refranchised 176 units, including 158 KFCs. The KFC refranchising program was completed early in the fourth quarter this year. Currently, our company ownership is 11% in the U.S. Upon the completion of our U.S. refranchising program, total company ownership in the U.S. will be about 10%.

OTHER ITEMS UPDATE

• In the third quarter, we repurchased 6.5 million shares for $414 million at an average price of $64. Year-to-date, we repurchased 10.8 million shares for $702 million at an average price of $65.
• In an effort to reduce our ongoing volatility and administration expense in connection with the Company’s U.S. pension obligation, on October 9, 2012, the Company began notifying certain former employees of a limited opportunity to voluntarily elect an early payout of their pension benefits to be funded from existing pension assets. As a result of this program, we anticipate recording a pre-tax non-cash charge between $25 million and $75 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 within Special Items. The amount of this charge will depend on the actual number of participants electing the lump sum payment option.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measurements to GAAP Results (amounts in millions, except per share amounts) (unaudited)
In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") throughout this document, the Company has provided non-GAAP measurements which present operating results in 2012 and 2011 on a basis before Special Items.  Included in Special Items are the U.S. refranchising gain (loss), the gain on the acquisition of Little Sheep, impairment charges and deal costs associated with the planned refranchising of the Pizza Hut UK business and the losses, other costs and tax benefits in 2011 relating to our divestiture of the Long John Silver's ("LJS") and A&W All-American Food Restaurants ("A&W") brands.  These amounts are described in (d), (e), (f) and (g) in the accompanying notes.  Other Special Items include the depreciation reductions from Pizza Hut UK and KFC U.S. restaurants impaired upon our decision or offer to refranchise that remained Company stores for some or all of the periods presented, gains from sales of real estate related to our previously refranchised Mexico business and charges relating to U.S. General and Administrative ("G&A") productivity initiatives and realignment of resources.
The Company uses earnings before Special Items as a key performance measure of results of operations for the purpose of evaluating performance internally and Special Items are not included in any of our segment results.  This non-GAAP measurement is not intended to replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP.  Rather, the Company believes that the presentation of earnings before Special Items provides additional information to investors to facilitate the comparison of past and present operations, excluding items in 2012 and 2011 that the Company does not believe are indicative of our ongoing operations due to their size and/or nature.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Summary of Results, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets
and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
(amounts in millions, except per share amounts)
(unaudited)
(a)	Amounts presented as of and for the quarter and year to date ended September 8, 2012 are preliminary.
(b)	Other (income) expense for the China Division primarily consists of equity income from investments in unconsolidated affiliates. The year to date ended September 8, 2012 also includes costs related to the acquisition of Little Sheep Group Limited ("Little Sheep") (see note (e) for further explanation).
(c)	Beginning the first quarter of 2012, our India Division is being reported as a standalone reporting segment separate from YRI as a result of changes to our management reporting structure. While our consolidated results are not impacted, our historical segment information has been restated to be consistent with the current period presentation. This new segment also includes the franchise businesses in the neighboring countries of Bangladesh, Mauritius, Nepal and Sri Lanka.
(d)	As part of our plan to transform our U.S. business we took certain measures ("the U.S. business transformation measures") in 2012 and 2011 which includes the continuation of our U.S. refranchising, potentially reducing our Company ownership in the U.S. to 10% or slightly less, including a reduction of Taco Bell Company ownership to 16%. During the year to date ended September 8, 2012, we recorded gains of $53 million related to refranchising in the U.S., primarily at Taco Bell. We have traditionally not allocated refranchising (gains) losses for segment reporting purposes. Additionally, U.S. refranchising (gains) losses have been reflected as Special Items for certain performance measures (see accompanying reconciliation to reported results).
(e)	On February 1, 2012 we acquired an additional 66% interest in Little Sheep for $540 million, net of cash acquired of $44 million, increasing our ownership to 93%. The acquisition was driven by our strategy to build leading brands across China in every significant category. Prior to our acquisition of this additional interest, our 27% interest in Little Sheep was accounted for under the equity method of accounting. As a result of the acquisition we obtained voting control of Little Sheep, and thus we began consolidating Little Sheep upon acquisition. As required by GAAP, we remeasured our previously held 27% ownership in Little Sheep, which had a recorded value of $107 million at the date of acquisition, at fair value and recognized a non-cash gain of $74 million. This gain, which resulted in no related income tax expense, was recorded in Other (income) expense on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income during the quarter ended March 24, 2012, was not allocated for segment reporting purposes and is reflected as a Special Item for certain performance measures (see accompanying reconciliation to reported results).
	Consolidated Little Sheep results are included in the China Division from the beginning of the second quarter of 2012. Little Sheep impacted China Division revenues by 3% for both the quarter and year to date ended September 8, 2012. Other than the $74 million gain discussed above, Little Sheep did not have a significant impact on China Division's Operating Profit or Net Income - YUM! Brands, Inc. for the quarter and year to date ended September 8, 2012. China Division and Worldwide system sales include sales from Little Sheep's company-owned restaurants but exclude sales from Little Sheep's franchise restaurants. Our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 8, 2012 reflects the consolidation of this entity, including approximately $300 million of goodwill, $500 million of other intangible assets and a $45 million redeemable noncontrolling interest. Also, in the quarter ended March 24, 2012, we released from escrow $300 million of cash that was deemed restricted prior to our acquisition of Little Sheep.
(f)	In 2011, we decided to sell our remaining company-owned Pizza Hut UK dine-in restaurants. Based on bids we received from prospective buyers, we recorded a non cash pre-tax impairment charge of $20 million to Refranchising (gain) loss to adjust the carrying amount of the asset group to its fair value in the quarter ended March 24, 2012. We had previously recorded a $74 million non cash pre-tax impairment charge to Refranchising (gain) loss to reduce the carrying amount of the asset group to its then estimated fair value upon our initial decision to sell the Pizza Hut dine-in business in the quarter ended September 3, 2011. These charges were not allocated for segment reporting purposes and were reflected as Special Items for certain performance measures (see accompanying reconciliation to reported results).
(g)	During the fourth quarter of 2011 we sold the Long John Silver's and A&W All American Food Restaurants brands to key franchise leaders and strategic investors in separate transactions. During the quarter and year to date ended September 3, 2011, we recognized $17 million and $86 million, respectively, of pre-tax losses and other costs primarily in Closures and impairment (income) expenses as a result of our decision to sell these businesses. Additionally, during the quarter ended September 3, 2011, we recognized $53 million of tax benefits primarily related to tax losses associated with the sales. These amounts were not allocated for segment reporting purposes and were reflected as Special Items for certain performance measures (see accompanying reconciliation to reported results).
