Joey Wat, CEO of Yum China, commented, “We closed the year with a strong fourth quarter, propelling us to a number of record highs in 2024. In the fourth quarter, our system sales growth surpassed the restaurant industry’s growth rate. Our same-store sales index improved sequentially to 99% of prior year levels, driven by the eighth consecutive quarter of same-store transaction growth. OP margin expanded by 140 basis points, and restaurant margin increased by 160 basis points, both on a year-over-year basis. We have steadily improved our metrics since the second quarter, with improvement in same-store sales index, margins, and operating profit growth each quarter. These results demonstrate the resilience of our business and the effectiveness of our strategy in improving sales and profitability amid challenging market conditions.”

Wat continued, “Our dual focus on operational efficiency and innovation yielded excellent results, laying a solid foundation for future growth. Our Project Fresh Eye and Project Red Eye initiatives have given us new perspectives on our operations and transformed our organization. They have made us more efficient, agile and competitive across our restaurants, shared service centers and supply chains. Our innovative measures—from menu evolution to the introduction of breakthrough business models like KCOFFEE Cafes and Pizza Hut WOW—have expanded our addressable market and increased our market share. KFC has demonstrated considerable resilience and growth momentum. Pizza Hut has made significant progress in transforming itself to become more affordable for customers and more profitable for the Company.”

Wat concluded, “Looking ahead, we remain excited about the significant growth opportunities in China. With tailored store models, we are expanding through both Company-owned stores and franchise stores and are on track to achieve our goal of 20,000 stores by 2026. Franchisees enable us to expand into remote areas, lower-tier cities and strategic locations previously beyond our reach. We are also increasing our cash dividend by a considerable 50% and continuing our share repurchases, positioning us to return a total of $4.5 billion to shareholders between 2024 and 2026. The average annual amount is equivalent to 9% of our current market capitalization. Leveraging our unique strengths, we are confident the steps we are taking will help create sustainable long-term value for our shareholders.”

In this press release:

  • Certain performance metrics and non-GAAP measures are presented excluding the impact of foreign currency translation (“F/X”). These amounts are derived by translating current year results at prior year average exchange rates. We believe the elimination of the F/X impact provides better year-to-year comparability without the distortion of foreign currency fluctuations.
  • System sales growth reflects the results of all restaurants regardless of ownership, including Company-owned and franchise restaurants that operate our restaurant concepts, except for non-Company-owned restaurants for which we do not receive a sales-based royalty. Sales of franchise restaurants typically generate ongoing franchise fees for the Company at an average rate of approximately 6% of system sales. Franchise restaurant sales are not included in Company sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income; however, the franchise 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 growth.
  • Effective January 1, 2018, the Company revised its definition of same-store sales growth to represent the estimated percentage change in sales of food of all restaurants in the Company system that have been open prior to the first day of our prior fiscal year, excluding the period during which stores are temporarily closed. We refer to these as our “base” stores. Previously, same-store sales growth represented the estimated percentage change in sales of all restaurants in the Company system that have been open for one year or more, including stores temporarily closed, and the base stores changed on a rolling basis from month to month. This revision was made to align with how management measures performance internally and focuses on trends of a more stable base of stores.

Reconciliation of Reported GAAP Results to Non-GAAP Measures
(in millions, except per share data)
(unaudited)

In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) in this press release, the Company provides the following non-GAAP measures:

  • Measures adjusted for Special Items, which include Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings Per Common Share (“EPS”), Adjusted Effective Tax Rate and Adjusted EBITDA;
  • Company Restaurant Profit (“Restaurant profit”) and Restaurant margin;
  • Core Operating Profit and Core OP margin, which exclude Special Items, and further adjusted for Items Affecting Comparability and the impact of F/X;

These non-GAAP measures are not intended to replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP.  Rather, the Company believes that the presentation of these non-GAAP measures provides additional information to investors to facilitate the comparison of past and present results, excluding those items that the Company does not believe are indicative of our core operations.

With respect to non-GAAP measures adjusted for Special Items, the Company excludes impact from Special Items for the purpose of evaluating performance internally and uses them as factors in determining compensation for certain employees. Special Items are not included in any of our segment results.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income including noncontrolling interests adjusted for equity in net earnings (losses) from equity method investments, income tax, interest income, net, investment gain or loss, depreciation and amortization, store impairment charges, and Special Items. Store impairment charges included as an adjustment item in Adjusted EBITDA primarily resulted from our semi-annual impairment evaluation of long-lived assets of individual restaurants, and additional impairment evaluation whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. If these restaurant-level assets were not impaired, depreciation of the assets would have been recorded and included in EBITDA. Therefore, store impairment charges were a non-cash item similar to depreciation and amortization of our long-lived assets of restaurants. The Company believes that investors and analysts may find it useful in measuring operating performance without regard to such non-cash items.

Restaurant Profit is defined as Company sales less expenses incurred directly by our Company-owned restaurants in generating Company sales, including cost of food and paper, restaurant-level payroll and employee benefits, rent, depreciation and amortization of restaurant-level assets, advertising expenses, and other operating expenses. Company restaurant margin percentage is defined as Restaurant profit divided by Company sales. We also use Restaurant profit and Restaurant margin for the purposes of internally evaluating the performance of our Company-owned restaurants and we believe they provide useful information to investors as to the profitability of our Company-owned restaurants.

Core Operating Profit is defined as Operating Profit adjusted for Special Items, and further excluding Items Affecting Comparability and the impact of F/X. We consider quantitative and qualitative factors in assessing whether to adjust for the impact of items that may be significant or that could affect an understanding of our ongoing financial and business performance or trends. Items such as charges, gains and accounting changes which are viewed by management as significantly impacting the current period or the comparable period, due to changes in policy or other external factors, or non-cash items pertaining to underlying activities that are different from or unrelated to our core operations, are generally considered “Items Affecting Comparability.” Examples of Items Affecting Comparability include, but are not limited to: temporary relief from landlords and government agencies; VAT deductions due to tax policy changes; and amortization of reacquired franchise rights recognized upon acquisitions. We believe presenting Core Operating Profit provides additional information to further enhance comparability of our operating results and we use this measure for purposes of evaluating the performance of our core operations. Core OP margin is defined as Core Operating Profit divided by Total revenues, excluding the impact of F/X.

The following tables set forth the reconciliation of the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures. The reconciliation of GAAP Operating Profit to Restaurant Profit and Core Operating Profit by segment is presented in Segment Results within this release.

(1)  In February 2020, the Company granted Partner PSU Awards to select employees who were deemed critical to the Company’s execution
of its strategic operating plan. These PSU awards will only vest if threshold performance goals are achieved over a four-year performance
period, with the payout ranging from 0% to 200% of the target number of shares subject to the PSU awards. These awards vested as of
December 31, 2023 with a payout in the first quarter of 2024. Partner PSU Awards were granted to address increased competition for
executive talent, motivate transformational performance and encourage management retention. Given the unique nature of these grants,
the Compensation Committee does not intend to grant similar, special grants to the same employees during the performance period. The
impact from these special awards is excluded from metrics that management uses to assess the Company’s performance.

(2)  The tax expense was determined based upon the nature, as well as the jurisdiction, of each Special Item at the applicable tax rate.

Operating Profit, along with the reconciliation to Core Operating Profit, is presented below:

(1) In relation to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company was granted lease concessions from landlords. The lease concessions
were primarily in the form of rent reduction over the period of time when the Company’s restaurant business was adversely impacted. Such
concessions were primarily recognized as a reduction of Occupancy and other operating expenses within Company restaurant expenses
included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income in the period the concession was granted.

(2) In relation to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company received government subsidies for employee benefits and providing
training to employees. The temporary relief was primarily recognized as a reduction to Payroll and employee benefits within Company
restaurant expenses included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.

(3) Pursuant to the tax policy issued by relevant government authorities, general VAT taxpayers in certain industries that meet certain criteria
are allowed to claim an additional 10% or 15% input VAT, which will be used to offset their VAT payables. This VAT policy was further
extended to December 31, 2023 but the additional deduction was reduced to 5% or 10% respectively. VAT deductions were primarily
recorded as a reduction to Food and paper and Occupancy and other operating expenses within Company restaurant expenses included in
the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Such preferential policy was not extended in 2024.

(4) As a result of the acquisition of our previously unconsolidated joint ventures of Hangzhou KFC, Suzhou KFC and Wuxi KFC, $66 million,
$61 million and $61 million of the purchase price were allocated to intangible assets related to reacquired franchise rights, respectively,
which were amortized over the remaining franchise contract period of 1 year, 2.4 years and 5 years, respectively. The reacquired franchise
rights were fully amortized as of March 31, 2023. The amortization was recorded in Other income, net included in the
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

(5) The F/X impact on Core Operating Profit and Total revenues is presented only for the current year in relation to the immediately preceding
year presented. When determining applicable growth percentages of Core Operating Profit, the Core Operating Profit for the current year
should be compared to the prior year Operating Profit adjusted only for any prior year Special Items and Items Affecting Comparability.
When comparing Core OP margin, Total revenues excluding F/X for the current year should be compared to the prior year Total revenues.

Strong stakeholder engagement towards Minesto’s first tidal energy Dragon farm in Hestfjord, Faroe Islands

GOTHENBURG, Sweden, Feb. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On Monday 3rd February, ocean energy developer Minesto welcomed Faroese stakeholders, authorities as well as the public to a seminar at the Nordic House in Torshavn. Martin Edlund, CEO of Minesto, presented the company’s vision for a sustainable energy system in the Faroe Islands, a 200MW buildout roadmap. The CEO of Faroese utility company Sev, Hákun Djurhuus took part in a panel to discuss the role of tidal energy in reaching a 100% renewable electricity generation as well as the collaboration with Minesto in developing the first Dragon farm (tidal array) in Hestfjord.

The Minesto event attracted a broad range of stakeholders, there among Faroese suppliers, energy companies, academia, authorities, politicians and the business community in general.

“With world class tidal stream resources, marine operations skills and strong local partners Faroe Islands are an ideal location for the first build out of Minesto’s dragon farms. Selecting Faroe Islands as our step-in market is for our also motivated by the strong political will and our partner SEVs determination to take the energy transition all the way to net-zero,” said Martin Edlund, CEO of Minesto.

“The collaboration with Minesto is of great value to us, together we are pioneering tidal energy. Our vision is to reach 100% sustainable electricity generation and tidal power with its predictable power has the potential to be the key enabler to reach the target,” commented Hákun Djuurhus, CEO of Sev.

Martin Edlund presented how Minesto’s dragons contribute to the Faroe Islands electricity mix by lowering total investment needs and providing security of supply to enable the renewable transition. Martin Edlund described the need for local collaboration and investments:

“The Hestjord Dragon Farm will be a first-of-a-kind tidal energy array. We actively work with Sev and the Faroese community with site development to plan for infrastructure and obtain vital permits. There is a genuine interest from Faroese investors and actors to become a part of this journey,” said Martin Edlund.

“Realising the Hestfjord dragon farm is a joint work, also outlined in the collaboration agreement between Sev and Minesto. Sev’s role in the Hestfjord project includes providing onshore grid infrastructure and of course, willingness to buy the electricity produced,” said Hákun Djurhuus.

“We congratulate Minesto for a successful event at the Nordic House, attracting many actors and stakeholders and creating an open and interesting discussion, also acknowledging the challenges ahead. We look forward to continued collaboration with Minesto regarding the realization of the world’s first tidal “Dragon” farm of 10MW in Hestfjord,” concludes Hákun Djurhuus.
