+6% GAAP Operating Profit Growth and +10% Core Operating Profit Growth Taco Bell Same-Store Sales Growth +5%; KFC Unit Growth +8%
Yum! Brands, Inc. (NYSE: YUM) today reported results for the second-quarter ended June 30, 2024. Worldwide system sales, excluding foreign currency translation, grew 3% including a 1% same-store sales decline. Second-quarter GAAP operating profit grew 6% and second-quarter core operating profit grew 10%. Second-quarter GAAP EPS was $1.28 and second-quarter EPS excluding Special Items was $1.35. Our year-over-year EPS excluding Special Items results reflect a $0.20 negative impact from a higher current year tax rate and lower investment income. Foreign currency translation also unfavorably impacted our EPS by $0.03.

DAVID GIBBS COMMENTS
David Gibbs, CEO, said “I’m incredibly pleased with how well our teams have managed through a challenging operating environment to deliver a 10% increase in Core Operating Profit. Our twin growth engines of Taco Bell U.S. and KFC International combined delivered 5% system sales growth led by 8% unit growth. Second-quarter results most clearly showcased the power of the Taco Bell brand thanks to unmatched, crave-worthy innovation and a successful menu expansion to a new platform offering, Cantina Chicken. Based on our first half results, we continue to expect to deliver at least 8% Core Operating Profit growth this year. Meanwhile, as we progress into the next phase of our technology and digital journey, we are laying the groundwork for another promising year in 2025 as evidenced by the expansion of drive-thru Voice AI technology at Taco Bell.”

All comparisons are versus the same period a year ago.
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 Non-GAAP Measurements to GAAP Results within this release for further details.
Digital system sales includes all transactions at system restaurants where consumers utilize ordering interaction that is primarily facilitated by automated technology.

In addition, other risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial could affect the accuracy of any such forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements should be evaluated with the understanding of their inherent uncertainty.
