¹See Reconciliation of GAAP results to non-GAAP measurements within this release for further detail of Special Items.

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

All comparisons are versus the same period a year ago. Effective January 2017, we removed the reporting lags from our international subsidiary fiscal calendars. To accommodate these changes, Yum! Brands now reports on a monthly calendar basis though certain subsidiaries, including our U.S. subsidiaries, continue to be included in our consolidated results on a periodic basis with 3, 3, 3 & 4 periods in each quarter, respectively. Prior year figures in this earnings release have been restated to present comparable results. An 8-K was filed on April 13, 2017 with restated quarterly 2016 results.

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 Diluted Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations excluding Special Items, our Effective Tax Rate excluding Special Items and Core Operating Profit. Core Operating Profit excludes Special Items and foreign currency translation and we use Core Operating Profit for the purposes of evaluating performance internally. Special Items are not included in any of our division segment results, and we believe the elimination of the foreign currency translation impact provides better year-to-year comparability without the distortion of foreign currency fluctuations. The Special Items are described in (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) in the accompanying notes.

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 Diluted Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations excluding Special Items, our Effective Tax Rate excluding Special Items and Core Operating Profit provide additional information to investors to facilitate the comparison of past and present operations, excluding items in the quarters and years to date ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016 that the Company does not believe are indicative of our ongoing operations due to their size and/or nature.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Summary of Results, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets

and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

(amounts in millions)

(unaudited)


(a)	Amounts presented as of and for the quarters and years to date ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are preliminary.

(b)

In connection with our previously announced plans to have at least 98% franchise restaurant ownership by the end of 2018, we recorded net refranchising gains during the quarters ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 of $19 million and $54 million, respectively, that have been reflected as Special Items. During the years to date ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we recorded net refranchising gains of $130 million and $54 million, respectively, that have been reflected as Special Items.

The second quarter 2017 net refranchising gains relate primarily to refranchising Taco Bell restaurants in the U.S., partially offset by charges associated with the refranchising of certain international markets. The second quarter 2016 net refranchising gains relate primarily to refranchising Pizza Hut restaurants in the U.S.

(c)

In the fourth quarter of 2016, we announced our plan to transform our business. Major features of the Company's strategic transformation plans involve being more focused on development of our three brands, increasing our franchise ownership and creating a leaner, more efficient cost structure (“YUM’s Strategic Transformation Initiatives”). During both the quarters ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we recognized Special Item charges of $4 million related to these initiatives. During the years to date ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we recognized Special Item charges of $11 million and $4 million, respectively. These costs primarily related to severance and relocation costs that were recorded within G&A.

(d)

On May 1, 2017, we reached an agreement with Pizza Hut U.S. franchisees that will improve brand marketing alignment, accelerate enhancements in operations and technology and includes a permanent commitment to incremental advertising contributions by franchisees beginning in 2018. During the quarter ended June 30, 2017, we recorded Special Item charges of $12 million for these investments. These amounts were recorded primarily as Franchise and license expenses.

(e)

During the first quarter of 2015, we reached an agreement with our KFC U.S. franchisees that gave us brand marketing control as well as an accelerated path to improved assets and customer experience. In connection with this agreement, we recognized Special Item charges of $5 million and $8 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. During the years to date ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we recognized Special Item charges of $8 million and $17 million, respectively. The majority of these costs were recorded as Franchise and license expenses.

(f)

In connection with the separation of Yum China, we modified certain share-based compensation awards held as part of our Executive Income Deferral Plan in YUM stock to provide one Yum China share-based award for each outstanding YUM share-based award. These Yum China awards may now be settled in cash, as opposed to stock, which requires recognition of the fair value of these awards each quarter within G&A in our Condensed Consolidated Income Statement. During the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2017, we recorded non-cash Special Item charges of $16 million and $18 million, respectively, related to these awards.


(g)	Reflects a non-cash charge of $22 million related to the adjustment of certain historical deferred vested liability balances in our qualified U.S. plan during the first quarter of 2017. This charge was recorded in Other pension (income) expense.

(h)

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance on the presentation of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost. The standard requires that an employer report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations. We early adopted the standard beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2017 on a retrospective basis and have reported the other components of net benefit costs within Other pension (income) expense for the quarters and years to date ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

(i)

In March 2016, the FASB issued guidance related to stock-based compensation which is intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including their income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. We adopted this standard beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The primary impact of adoption of this standard was that beginning January 1, 2017 we are required to report excess tax benefits associated with share-based compensation, which we previously recognized within Common Stock, within our Income tax provision.
