Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Financial Statement Presentation 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, 2022 (“2022 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 56,000 restaurants in more than 155 countries and territories.  As of June 30, 2023, 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 June 30, 2023, 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. 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 2022 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 and year to date ended June 30, 2023. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported Net Income.

Russia Invasion of Ukraine

In the first quarter of 2022, as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, we suspended all investment and restaurant development in Russia. We also suspended all operations of our 70 company-owned KFC restaurants in Russia and began finalizing an agreement to suspend all Pizza Hut operations in Russia, in partnership with our master franchisee. Further, we pledged to redirect any future net profits attributable to Russia subsequent to the date of invasion to humanitarian efforts.

During the second quarter of 2022, we completed the transfer of ownership of the Pizza Hut Russia business to a local operator. In April 2023, we completed our exit from the Russian market by selling the KFC business in Russia to Smart Service Ltd., including all Russian company owned KFC restaurants, operating system, and master franchise rights as well as the trademark for the Rostik’s brand. Under the sale and purchase agreement, the buyer has agreed to lead the process to rebrand KFC restaurants in Russia to Rostik's and to retain the Company's employees in Russia. We recorded a loss in the quarter of
$4 million to Other income (expense) as the write-off of our net investment in KFC Russia, including the related cumulative foreign currency translation losses of $60 million, exceeded the consideration received from the sale which primarily included cash proceeds of $121 million.Our operating results presented herein reflect revenues from and expenses to support the Russian operations for KFC and Pizza Hut prior to the dates of sale or transfer, within their historical financial statement line items and operating segments.

Income tax (benefit) provision$60 $166 $131 $165 
Effective tax rate12.6 %42.6 %15.4 %21.0 %

Our second quarter effective tax rate was lower than the prior year primarily due to the following:
$71 million of net tax expense recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 2022, resulting from the Company’s decision to exit KFC Russia. We remeasured and reassessed the need for a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets in Switzerland due to the then expected reduction in the tax basis of intellectual property rights associated with the loss of the Russian royalty income. In addition, we reassessed certain deferred tax liabilities associated with the Russia business given the expectation that the existing basis difference was going to reverse by way of sale.

$18 million tax benefit recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 2023, associated with the reversal of a reserve established in prior years due to the favorable resolution of a tax audit in a foreign jurisdiction.

$10 million tax benefit recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 2023, associated with establishing additional net operating loss carryforward deferred tax assets in a foreign jurisdiction.

Our year to date effective tax rate was lower than the prior year primarily due to the items discussed above, partially offset by:

$82 million of tax benefit discretely recorded in the quarter ended March 31, 2022, from the release of a valuation allowance on foreign tax credit carryforwards. In January 2022, the U.S. Treasury published new regulations impacting foreign tax credit utilization beginning in the Company’s 2022 tax year. These regulations made foreign taxes paid to certain countries no longer creditable in the U.S., which was expected to result in additional foreign tax credit carryforward utilization prospectively. As a result, we reversed a valuation allowance associated with existing foreign tax credit carryforwards. The U.S. Treasury published clarifying guidance in November 2022 which resulted in foreign taxes originally determined to be non-creditable under the January 2022 regulations to now be treated as creditable taxes. As such, the valuation allowance on foreign tax credit carryforwards that was released in the quarter ended March 31, 2022, was re-established in the quarter ended December 31, 2022.

Disaggregation of Total Revenues

The following tables disaggregate revenue by Concept, for our two most significant markets based on Operating Profit and for all other markets. We believe this disaggregation best reflects the extent to which the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenues and cash flows are impacted by economic factors.

Our chief operating decision maker (CODM) does not consider the impact of Corporate and unallocated amounts when assessing Divisional segment performance. As such, we do not allocate such amounts to our Divisional segments for performance reporting purposes.

(a)Our operating results presented herein reflect revenues from and expenses to support the Russian operations for KFC and Pizza Hut prior to the dates of sale or transfer (see Note 1), 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 to humanitarian efforts, we reclassed such net profits and losses subsequent to that date from the Division segment results in which they were earned to Unallocated Other income (expense). As a result, we reclassed net operating losses of $1 million from KFC Division Other income (expense) to Unallocated Other income (expense) during the year to date ended June 30, 2023, and net operating profit of $9 million and $11 million from Divisional Other income (expense) to Unallocated Other income (expense) during the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Additionally, we recorded a $4 million loss to Unallocated Other income (expense) during the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2023 from the sale of our KFC Russia business.

Also, included in Unallocated Other income (expense) were $1 million in foreign exchange losses attributable to fluctuations in the value of the Russian Ruble during the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2023, and foreign exchange gains of $11 million and $16 million during the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Additionally, we recorded charges of $3 million and $4 million to Corporate and unallocated G&A expenses and $1 million and $2 million to Unallocated Franchise and property expenses during the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2023, respectively, for certain expenses related to the disposition of the businesses and other costs related to our exit from Russia. We recorded similar charges of $2 million and $4 million to Corporate and Unallocated G&A expenses and Unallocated Franchise and property expenses, respectively, during the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2022.

(b)Includes changes in the value of our investment in Devyani International Limited (see Note 12).
(c)Includes a $23 million call premium and $5 million of unamortized debt issuance costs written off related to the redemption of the 2025 Notes (as discussed in our 2022 Form 10-K) during the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]  
Pension Benefits 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 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.  

The components of net periodic benefit cost associated with our U.S. pension plans are as follows:

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivative Instruments Derivative InstrumentsWe 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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

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 June 30, 2023, 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:

Income tax benefit/(expense)(7)(3)(2)(5)(17)(5)

As of June 30, 2023, 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 $33 million, based on current 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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 June 30, 2023, all of the counterparties to our derivative instruments had investment grade ratings 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.

Fair Value Measurements Fair Value DisclosuresAs of June 30, 2023, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings and accounts payable and borrowings under our Revolving Facility 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.

The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps were determined based on the present value of expected future cash flows considering the risks involved, including nonperformance risk, and using discount rates appropriate for the duration based on observable inputs.

Investments primarily include 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 $122 million and $116 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. For the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2023, we recognized pre-tax investment gains of $28 million and $5 million, respectively, related to changes in fair value of our investment in Devyani.

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 $880 million through the second quarter of 2023. 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 June 30, 2023, the potential amount of undiscounted payments we could be required to make in the event of non-payment by the primary lessee was approximately $400 million. The present value of these potential payments discounted at our pre-tax cost of debt at June 30, 2023, was approximately $325 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 June 30, 2023, 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.

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 August has been rescheduled to December 4, 2023. The stay order remains in effect and the next hearing in the Delhi High Court that had been scheduled for May has been rescheduled to October 5, 2023. 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.

Our chief operating decision maker (CODM) does not consider the impact of Corporate and unallocated amounts when assessing Divisional segment performance. As such, we do not allocate such amounts to our Divisional segments for performance reporting purposes.

(a)Our operating results presented herein reflect revenues from and expenses to support the Russian operations for KFC and Pizza Hut prior to the dates of sale or transfer (see Note 1), 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 to humanitarian efforts, we reclassed such net profits and losses subsequent to that date from the Division segment results in which they were earned to Unallocated Other income (expense). As a result, we reclassed net operating losses of $1 million from KFC Division Other income (expense) to Unallocated Other income (expense) during the year to date ended June 30, 2023, and net operating profit of $9 million and $11 million from Divisional Other income (expense) to Unallocated Other income (expense) during the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Additionally, we recorded a $4 million loss to Unallocated Other income (expense) during the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2023 from the sale of our KFC Russia business.

Also, included in Unallocated Other income (expense) were $1 million in foreign exchange losses attributable to fluctuations in the value of the Russian Ruble during the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2023, and foreign exchange gains of $11 million and $16 million during the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Additionally, we recorded charges of $3 million and $4 million to Corporate and unallocated G&A expenses and $1 million and $2 million to Unallocated Franchise and property expenses during the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2023, respectively, for certain expenses related to the disposition of the businesses and other costs related to our exit from Russia. We recorded similar charges of $2 million and $4 million to Corporate and Unallocated G&A expenses and Unallocated Franchise and property expenses, respectively, during the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2022.

(b)Includes changes in the value of our investment in Devyani International Limited (see Note 12).
(c)Includes a $23 million call premium and $5 million of unamortized debt issuance costs written off related to the redemption of the 2025 Notes (as discussed in our 2022 Form 10-K) during the quarter ended June 30, 2022.

[2] Includes a $23 million call premium and $5 million of unamortized debt issuance costs written off related to the redemption of the 2025 Notes (as discussed in our 2022 Form 10-K) during the quarter ended June 30, 2022
[3] Our operating results presented herein reflect revenues from and expenses to support the Russian operations for KFC and Pizza Hut prior to the dates of sale or transfer (see Note 1), 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 to humanitarian efforts, we reclassed such net profits and losses subsequent to that date from the Division segment results in which they were earned to Unallocated Other income (expense). As a result, we reclassed net operating losses of $1 million from KFC Division Other income (expense) to Unallocated Other income (expense) during the year to date ended June 30, 2023, and net operating profit of $9 million and $11 million from Divisional Other income (expense) to Unallocated Other income (expense) during the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Additionally, we recorded a $4 million loss to Unallocated Other income (expense) during the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2023 from the sale of our KFC Russia business.Also, included in Unallocated Other income (expense) were $1 million in foreign exchange losses attributable to fluctuations in the value of the Russian Ruble during the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2023, and foreign exchange gains of $11 million and $16 million during the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Additionally, we recorded charges of $3 million and $4 million to Corporate and unallocated G&A expenses and $1 million and $2 million to Unallocated Franchise and property expenses during the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2023, respectively, for certain expenses related to the disposition of the businesses and other costs related to our exit from Russia. We recorded similar charges of $2 million and $4 million to Corporate and Unallocated G&A expenses and Unallocated Franchise and property expenses, respectively, during the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2022.

Deferred Tax Liability Not Recognized, Events that Would Cause Temporary Difference to be Taxable, Undistributed Earnings of Foreign Subsidiaries 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 $880 million through the second quarter of 2023. 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.

INDIA  
Loss Contingencies [Line Items]  
Litigation, Nature 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 August has been rescheduled to December 4, 2023. The stay order remains in effect and the next hearing in the Delhi High Court that had been scheduled for May has been rescheduled to October 5, 2023. 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.
