NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Tabular amounts in millions, except per share data)

1.

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 for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Therefore, we suggest that the accompanying Financial Statements be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2002 (“2002 Form 10-K”). Except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2002 Form 10-K.

Our Financial Statements include YUM! Brands, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “YUM” or the “Company”). The Financial Statements include the worldwide operations of KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and since May 7, 2002, Long John Silver’s (“LJS”) and A&W All-American Food Restaurants (“A&W”) (collectively the “Concepts”), which were added when we acquired Yorkshire Global Restaurants, Inc. (“YGR”). References to YUM throughout these notes to our Financial Statements are made using the first person notations of “we,” “us” or “our.”

Our preparation of the accompanying Financial Statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 the estimates.

In our opinion, the accompanying Financial Statements include all adjustments considered necessary to present fairly, when read in conjunction with our 2002 Form 10-K, our financial position as of June 14, 2003, and the results of our operations for the quarters and years to date ended June 14, 2003 and June 15, 2002 and cash flows for the years to date ended June 14, 2003 and June 15, 2002. Our results of operations for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

We have reclassified certain items in the accompanying Financial Statements and Notes to the Financial Statements in order to be comparable with the current classifications. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income.

2.

Stock-Based Employee Compensation


The Company accounts for its stock-based employee compensation plans under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under those plans had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”) to stock-based employee compensation.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements


Effective December 29, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” (“SFAS 143”). SFAS 143 addresses the financial accounting and reporting for legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. As a result of obligations under certain leases that are within the scope of SFAS 143, the Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment of $2 million ($1 million after tax) which did not have a material effect on diluted earnings per common share. The adoption of SFAS 143 also did not materially affect our Financial Statements for the quarter and year to date ended June 14, 2003. If SFAS 143 had been adopted as of the beginning of the year 2002, the cumulative effect adjustment would not have been materially different from that recorded on December 29, 2002.

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (“SFAS 146”). SFAS 146 addresses significant issues regarding the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs associated with exit or disposal activities, and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” Costs addressed by SFAS 146 include costs to terminate a contract that is not a capital lease, costs of involuntary employee termination benefits pursuant to a one-time benefit arrangement, costs to consolidate facilities and costs to relocate employees. SFAS 146 is effective for exit or disposal activities that were initiated after December 31, 2002. SFAS 146 changes the timing of expense recognition for certain costs we incur while closing restaurants or undertaking other exit or disposal activities; however, the timing difference is not typically significant in length. Adoption of SFAS 146 did not have a material impact on our Financial Statements for the quarter and year to date ended June 14, 2003.

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure” (“SFAS 148”). SFAS 148 provides alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation as required by SFAS 123. In addition, SFAS 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require more prominent and more frequent disclosures in financial statements about the effects of stock-based compensation. Our disclosure regarding the effects of stock-based compensation included in Note 2 is in compliance with SFAS 148.




7





The Company has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness to Others, an interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57 and 107 and a rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34” (“FIN 45”). FIN 45 elaborates on the disclosures to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under guarantees issued. FIN 45 also clarifies that a guarantor is required to recognize, at inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken. The initial recognition and measurement provisions were applicable to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. While the nature of our business results in the issuance of certain guarantee liabilities from time to time, the adoption of FIN 45 did not have a material impact on our Financial Statements for the quarter and year to date ended June 14, 2003.

4.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted


In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, “Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 149”). SFAS 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”). SFAS 149 is generally effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS 149 to have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity” (“SFAS 150”). SFAS 150 establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures three classes of freestanding financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. It requires that an issuer classify a financial instrument that is within its scope as a liability (or an asset in some circumstances). SFAS 150 was effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company has not entered into any financial instruments within the scope of SFAS 150 since May 31, 2003, nor does it currently hold any significant financial instruments within its scope.

In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51” (“FIN 46”). FIN 46 addresses the consolidation of entities whose equity holders have either (a) not provided sufficient equity at risk to allow the entity to finance its own activities or (b) do not possess certain characteristics of a controlling financial interest. FIN 46 requires the consolidation of these entities, known as variable interest entities (“VIEs”), by the primary beneficiary of the entity. The primary beneficiary is the entity, if any, that is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the VIE’s activities, entitled to receive a majority of the VIE’s residual returns, or both. FIN 46 applies immediately to variable interests in VIEs created or obtained after January 31, 2003. For variable interests in a VIE created before February 1, 2003, FIN 46 is applied to the VIE no later than the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003 (the quarter beginning September 7, 2003 for the Company). The Interpretation requires certain disclosures in financial statements issued after January 31, 2003, if it is reasonably possible that the Company will consolidate or disclose information about variable interest entities when the Interpretation becomes effective.

As discussed further in Note 13, we have posted a $12 million of letter of credit supporting our guarantee of a franchisee loan pool. Additionally, we have provided a standby letter of credit under which we could potentially be required to fund a portion (up to $25 million) of this loan pool. The letters of credit were issued under our existing bank credit agreement. This loan pool primarily funded purchases of restaurants from the Company and, to a lesser extent, franchisee development of new restaurants. The total loans outstanding under this loan pool were approximately $93 million at June 14, 2003. Our maximum exposure to loss as a result of




8





our involvement with this loan pool was $37 million at June 14, 2003. We currently believe that it is reasonably possible that this loan pool is a VIE of which we are the primary beneficiary. Thus we could be required to consolidate this loan pool, as it is currently structured, upon FIN 46 becoming effective for the Company. We are currently evaluating alternative structures related to this loan pool. The impact of consolidation would be reflected as an increase in other assets, for the loans receivable, and long-term debt, for the commercial paper issued to fund the loans, with no material impact on net income.

The Company, along with representatives of the franchisee groups of each of its Concepts, has formed purchasing cooperatives for the purpose of purchasing certain restaurant products and equipment in the U.S. Our equity ownership in each cooperative is generally proportional to our percentage ownership of the U.S. system units for the Concept. We are continuing to evaluate whether any of these cooperatives are VIEs under the provisions of FIN 46 and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary. We do not currently believe that consolidation will be required for these cooperatives as a result of our adoption of FIN 46.

The Company has investments in various unconsolidated affiliates accounted for under the equity method of accounting. We are currently in the process of determining whether any of these unconsolidated affiliates are VIEs under the provisions of FIN 46 and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary. Our unconsolidated affiliates had total revenues of over $450 million and $850 million, respectively, for the quarter and year to date ended June 14, 2003, and assets of over $1 billion and debt of approximately $157 million at June 14, 2003.

5.

Acquisition of YGR


On May 7, 2002, YUM completed its acquisition of YGR. As of the date of the acquisition, YGR consisted of 742 and 496 company and franchise LJS units, respectively, and 127 and 742 company and franchise A&W units, respectively. The LJS unit totals included 133 multibranded LJS/A&W restaurants. This acquisition was made to facilitate meeting our strategic objective of achieving growth through multibranding, where two or more of our Concepts are operated in a single restaurant unit. We paid approximately $275 million in cash and assumed approximately $48 million of bank indebtedness in connection with the acquisition of YGR.

Additionally, as of the date of acquisition we recorded approximately $49 million of reserves (“exit liabilities”) related to our plans to consolidate certain support functions and close certain acquired restaurants. The consolidation of certain support functions included the termination of approximately 100 employees. Our remaining exit liabilities at June 14, 2003, as well as amounts utilized during 2003 to date, are presented in the table below.

Total reserve as of June 14, 2003  $ 3   $ 30   $  -   $ 33

The results of operations for YGR have been included in our Financial Statements since the date of acquisition. If the acquisition had been completed as of the beginning of the periods indicated below, pro forma Company sales and franchise and license fees for the quarter and year to date ended June 15, 2002 would have been as follows:

Quarter
Year to date
6/15/02
6/15/02
Company sales   $   1,654   $   3,206  
Franchise and license fees  199   392  

The pro forma impact of the acquisition, including interest expense on debt incurred to finance the acquisition, on net income and diluted earnings per share for the quarter and year to date ended June 15, 2002 would not have been significant. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations had the acquisition actually occurred at the beginning of this period nor is it necessarily indicative of future results.

Diluted EPS  $ 0.40   $ 0.45   $ 0.79   $ 0.85  






Unexercised employee stock options to purchase approximately 2.6 million and 7.7 million shares of our Common Stock for the quarter and year to date ended June 14, 2003, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of our Common Stock during the quarter and year to date ended June 14, 2003.

Unexercised employee stock options to purchase approximately 0.8 million shares of our Common Stock for both the quarter and year to date ended June 15, 2002 were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because their exercise prices were greater than the average market price of our Common Stock during the quarter and year to date ended June 15, 2002.

During the year to date June 14, 2003, we granted employee stock options to purchase approximately 1.2 million shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the average market price on the date of grant. The weighted-average exercise price of these options was approximately $24.29.

The following table summarizes the carrying values of the major classes of assets held for sale at June 14, 2003 and December 28, 2002. U.S. amounts primarily represent land on which we previously operated restaurants and are net of impairment charges of $3 million and $4 million, at June 14, 2003 and December 28, 2002, respectively. The carrying values in International relate primarily to our Puerto Rican business, which we wrote down by approximately $10 million ($6 million after tax) during the quarter ended March 22, 2003 to reflect current estimates of its fair value. This write-down was recorded as a refranchising loss. The carrying values of liabilities of the Puerto Rican business that we anticipate would be assumed by a buyer were not significant at June 14, 2003 or at December 28, 2002.

Wrench Litigation

Expense of $35 million, including $5 million of estimated pre-judgment interest, was recorded in the quarter ended June 14, 2003, reflecting the legal judgment against Taco Bell Corp. on June 4, 2003 in Wrench v. Taco Bell Corp. See Note 13 for a discussion of Wrench litigation.

AmeriServe and Other Charges (Credits)

AmeriServe was the primary distributor of food and paper supplies to our U.S. stores when it filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code on January 31, 2000. A plan of reorganization for AmeriServe (the “POR”) was approved on November 28, 2000, which resulted in, among other things, the assumption of our distribution agreement, subject to certain amendments, by McLane Company, Inc. During the AmeriServe bankruptcy reorganization process, we took a number of actions to ensure continued supply to our system. Those actions resulted in significant expense for the Company, primarily recorded in 2000. Under the POR we are entitled to proceeds from certain residual assets, preference claims and other legal recoveries of the estate.

We classify expenses and recoveries related to AmeriServe, as well as integration costs related to our acquisition of YGR, costs to defend certain wage and hour litigation and certain other items, as AmeriServe and other charges (credits). These amounts were classified as unusual items in previous years.

AmeriServe and other charges (credits) was an expense of $2 million for both the quarter and year to date ended June 14, 2003, primarily consisting of integration costs related to our acquisition of YGR. Income of $9 million and $20 million was recorded as AmeriServe and other (charges) credits for the quarter and year to date ended June 15, 2002, primarily consisting of net recoveries under the POR.

Debt


Our primary bank credit agreement comprises a $1.2 billion senior unsecured Revolving Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility”) which matures on June 25, 2005. The Credit Facility is unconditionally guaranteed by our principal domestic subsidiaries and contains other terms and provisions (including representations, warranties,




13





covenants, conditions and events of default). The Credit Facility contains financial covenants relating to leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. The Credit Facility also contains affirmative and negative covenants including, among other things, limitations on certain additional indebtedness, guarantees of indebtedness, cash dividends and certain other transactions.

At June 14, 2003, our unused Credit Facility totaled $0.9 billion, net of outstanding borrowings of $0.1 billion and outstanding letters of credit of $0.2 billion. The interest rate for borrowings under the Credit Facility ranges from 1.0% to 2.0% over the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or 0.00% to 0.65% over an Alternate Base Rate, which is the greater of the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50%. The exact spread over LIBOR or the Alternate Base Rate, as applicable, will depend upon our performance under specified financial criteria. At June 14, 2003, the weighted average contractual interest rate on borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility was 2.2%. Interest is payable at least quarterly.

Interest expense on short-term borrowings and long-term debt was $44 million and $35 million for the quarters ended June 14, 2003 and June 15, 2002, respectively, and $88 million and $70 million for the years to date ended June 14, 2003 and June 15, 2002, respectively.

Share Repurchase Program


In November 2002, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program. This program authorizes us to repurchase, through November 20, 2004, up to $300 million (excluding applicable transaction fees) of our outstanding Common Stock. During the year to date ended June 14, 2003, we repurchased approximately 3.3 million shares for approximately $82 million at an average price per share of approximately $25 under this program. At June 14, 2003, approximately $190 million remained available for repurchases under this program. Based on market conditions and other factors, additional repurchases may be made from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions at the discretion of the Company.

In February 2001, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program. This program authorized us to repurchase up to $300 million (excluding applicable transaction fees) of our outstanding Common Stock and was completed in November 2002. During the year to date ended June 15, 2002, we repurchased approximately 2.2 million shares for approximately $68 million at an average price per share of approximately $31 under this program.

Guarantees, Commitments and Contingencies


Lease Guarantees and Contingencies

As a result of (a) assigning our interest in and obligations under real estate leases as a condition to the refranchising of certain Company restaurants; (b) contributing certain Company restaurants to unconsolidated affiliates; and (c) guaranteeing certain other leases, we are frequently contingently liable on lease agreements. These leases have varying terms, the latest of which expires in 2030. As of June 14, 2003 and December 28, 2002, the potential amount of undiscounted payments we could be required to make in the event of non-




15





payment by the primary lessee was $378 million and $388 million, respectively. The present value of these potential payments discounted at our pre-tax cost of debt at June 14, 2003 was $297 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. Accordingly, the liability recorded for our exposure under such leases at June 14, 2003 and December 28, 2002 was not material.

Guarantees Supporting Financial Arrangements of Franchisees, Unconsolidated Affiliates and Other Third Parties

At June 14, 2003 and December 28, 2002, we had provided approximately $32 million of partial guarantees of two franchisee loan pools related primarily to the Company’s refranchising programs. The total loans outstanding under these loan pools were approximately $131 million at June 14, 2003. In support of these guarantees, we have posted $32 million of letters of credit. We also provide a standby letter of credit under which we could potentially be required to fund a portion (up to $25 million) of one of the franchisee loan pools. Any funding under the guarantees or letters of credit would be secured by the franchisee loans and any related collateral. We believe that we have appropriately provided for our estimated probable exposures under these contingent liabilities. These provisions were primarily charged to net refranchising loss (gain).

We have guaranteed certain lines of credit and loans of unconsolidated affiliates totaling $28 million and $26 million at June 14, 2003 and December 28, 2002, respectively. If all such lines of credit were fully drawn down, the maximum contingent liability under these arrangements would be approximately $35 million and $26 million as of June 14, 2003 and December 28, 2002, respectively. Our unconsolidated affiliates had total revenues of over $450 million and $850 million, respectively, for the quarter and year to date ended June 14, 2003, and assets of over $1 billion and debt of $157 million at June 14, 2003.

We have also guaranteed certain lines of credit, loans and letters of credit of third parties totaling $11 million and $15 million at June 14, 2003 and December 28, 2002, respectively. If all such lines of credit and letters of credit were fully drawn down, the maximum contingent liability under these arrangements would be approximately $29 million and $27 million as of June 14, 2003 and December 28, 2002, respectively.

We have varying levels of recourse provisions and collateral that mitigate the risk of loss related to our guarantees of these financial arrangements of unconsolidated affiliates and other third parties. Accordingly, our recorded liability as of June 14, 2003 and December 28, 2002 is not significant.

Insurance Programs

We are self-insured for a substantial portion of our current and prior years’ insurable lines of coverage including workers’ compensation, employment practices liability, general liability, automobile liability and property losses (collectively, “property and casualty losses”). To mitigate the cost of our exposures for certain property and casualty losses, we make annual decisions to self-insure the risks of loss up to defined maximum per occurrence retentions on a line by line basis or to combine certain lines of coverage into one loss pool with a single self-insured aggregate retention. The Company then purchases insurance coverage, up to a specified limit, for losses that exceed the self-insurance per occurrence or aggregate retention. The insurers’ maximum aggregate loss limits are significantly above our actuarially determined probable losses; therefore, we believe the likelihood of losses exceeding the insurers’ maximum aggregate loss limits is remote.

We are also self-insured for healthcare claims for eligible participating employees subject to certain deductibles and limitations. We have accounted for our retained liabilities for property and casualty losses and healthcare




16





claims, including reported and incurred but not reported claims, based on information provided by independent actuaries.

Due to the inherent volatility of actuarially determined property and casualty loss estimates, it is reasonably possible that we could experience changes in estimated losses which could be material to our growth in quarterly and annual net income. We believe that we have recorded reserves for property and casualty losses at a level which has substantially mitigated the potential negative impact of adverse developments and/or volatility.

Change of Control Severance Agreements

The Company has severance agreements with certain key executives (the “Agreements”) that are renewable on an annual basis. These Agreements are triggered by a termination, under certain conditions, of the executive’s employment following a change in control of the Company, as defined in the Agreements. If triggered, the affected executives would generally receive twice the amount of both their annual base salary and their annual incentive in a lump sum, outplacement services and a tax gross-up for any excise taxes. These Agreements have a three-year term and automatically renew each January 1 for another three-year term unless the Company elects not to renew the Agreements. If these Agreements had been triggered as of June 14, 2003, payments of approximately $35 million would have been made. In the event of a change of control, rabbi trusts would be established and used to provide payouts under existing deferred and incentive compensation plans.

Litigation

We are subject to various claims and contingencies related to lawsuits, taxes, environmental and other matters arising out of the normal course of business. Like certain other large retail employers, the Company has been faced in certain states with allegations of purported class-wide wage and hour violations.

On August 29, 1997, a class action lawsuit against Taco Bell Corp., entitled Bravo, et al. v. Taco Bell Corp. (“Bravo”), was filed in the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon of the County of Multnomah. The lawsuit was filed by two former Taco Bell shift managers purporting to represent approximately 17,000 current and former hourly employees statewide. The lawsuit alleges violations of state wage and hour laws, principally involving unpaid wages including overtime, and rest and meal period violations, and seeks an unspecified amount in damages. Under Oregon class action procedures, Taco Bell was allowed an opportunity to “cure” the unpaid wage and hour allegations by opening a claims process to all putative class members prior to certification of the class. In this cure process, Taco Bell paid out less than $1 million. On January 26, 1999, the Court certified a class of all current and former shift managers and crew members who claim one or more of the alleged violations. A Court-approved notice and claim form was mailed to approximately 14,500 class members on January 31, 2000. Trial began on January 4, 2001. On March 9, 2001, the jury reached verdicts on the substantive issues in this matter. A number of these verdicts were in favor of the Taco Bell position; however, certain issues were decided in favor of the plaintiffs. In April 2002, a jury trial to determine the damages of 93 of those claimants found that Taco Bell failed to pay for certain meal breaks and/or off-the-clock work for 86 of the 93 claimants. However, the total amount of hours awarded by the jury was substantially less than that sought by the claimants. In July and September 2002, the court ruled on several post-trial motions, including fixing the total number of potential claimants at 1,037 (including the 93 claimants for which damages have already been determined) and holding that claimants who prevail are entitled to prejudgment interest and penalty wages. The second damages trial for the remaining 944 claimants began on July 7, 2003. Taco Bell intends to appeal the April 2002 damages verdict, as well as the March 2001 liability verdict.

We have provided for the estimated costs of the Bravo litigation, based on a projection of eligible claims (including claims filed to date, where applicable), the amount of each eligible claim, including the estimated




17





legal fees incurred by plaintiffs, and the results of settlement negotiations in this and other wage and hour litigation matters. Although the outcome of this case cannot be determined at this time, we believe the ultimate cost in excess of the amounts already provided will not be material to our annual results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. Any provisions have been recorded as AmeriServe and other charges (credits).

On January 16, 1998, a lawsuit against Taco Bell Corp., entitled Wrench LLC, Joseph Shields and Thomas Rinks v. Taco Bell Corp. was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan. The lawsuit alleged that Taco Bell Corp. misappropriated certain ideas and concepts used in its advertising featuring a Chihuahua. The plaintiffs sought to recover monetary damages under several theories, including breach of implied-in-fact contract, idea misappropriation, conversion and unfair competition. On June 10, 1999, the District Court granted summary judgment in favor of Taco Bell Corp. Plaintiffs filed an appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit (the “Court of Appeals”), and oral arguments were held on September 20, 2000. On July 6, 2001, the Court of Appeals reversed the District Court’s judgment in favor of Taco Bell Corp. and remanded the case to the District Court. Taco Bell Corp. unsuccessfully petitioned the Court of Appeals for rehearing en banc, and its petition for writ of certiorari to the United States Supreme Court was denied on January 21, 2002. The case was returned to District Court for trial which began on May 14, 2003 and on June 4, 2003 the jury awarded $30 million to the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs have filed a motion for pre- judgment interest of $11 million. In accordance with applicable law, we believe that any pre-judgment interest to which the plaintiffs are entitled is limited to $5 million. In view of the jury verdict and our belief as to the appropriate amount of pre-judgment interest, we have recorded a charge of $35 million during the quarter ended June 14, 2003. We continue to believe that the Wrench plaintiff’s claims are without merit and are appealing the verdict. Post-judgment interest will continue to accrue during the appeal process. If unsuccessful upon appeal, we intend to seek reimbursement from our insurance carriers and Taco Bell’s former advertising agency.

Obligations to PepsiCo, Inc. After Spin-off

In connection with our October 6, 1997 spin-off from PepsiCo, Inc. (“PepsiCo”) (the “Spin-off”), we entered into separation and other related agreements (the “Separation Agreements”) governing the Spin-off and our subsequent relationship with PepsiCo.

Under the terms of these agreements, we have indemnified PepsiCo for costs or losses it incurs with respect to all letters of credit, guarantees and contingent liabilities relating to our businesses under which PepsiCo remains liable. As of June 14, 2003, PepsiCo remains liable for approximately $60 million on a nominal basis related to these contingencies. This obligation ends at the time PepsiCo is released, terminated or replaced by a qualified letter of credit. To date, we have not been required to make any payments under this indemnity.

Under the Separation Agreements, PepsiCo maintains full control and absolute discretion with regard to any combined or consolidated tax filings for periods through October 6, 1997. PepsiCo also maintains full control and absolute discretion regarding any common tax audit issues. Although PepsiCo has contractually agreed to, in good faith, use its best efforts to settle all joint interests in any common audit issue on a basis consistent with prior practice, there can be no assurance that determinations made by PepsiCo would be the same as we would reach, acting on our own behalf. Through June 14, 2003, there have not been any determinations made by PepsiCo where we would have reached a different determination.

Item 2.   Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Introduction

YUM! Brands, Inc. and Subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “YUM” or the “Company”) comprises the worldwide operations of KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Long John Silver’s (“LJS”) and A&W All-American Food Restaurants (“A&W”) (collectively the “Concepts”) and is the world’s largest quick service restaurant (“QSR”) company based on the number of system units. LJS and A&W were added when YUM acquired Yorkshire Global Restaurants, Inc. (“YGR”) on May 7, 2002.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“Financial Statements”), the Cautionary Statements and our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2002 (“2002 Form 10-K”). All Note references herein refer to the accompanying Notes to the Financial Statements. Tabular amounts are displayed in millions except per share and unit count amounts, or as specifically identified.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

See Note 4.

Significant Known Events, Trends or Uncertainties Expected to Impact 2003 Comparisons with 2002

The following factors impacted comparability of operating performance for the quarter and year to date ended June 14, 2003 to the quarter and year to date ended June 15, 2002 or could impact comparisons for the remainder of 2003. Certain of these factors were previously discussed in our 2002 Form 10-K.

Acquisition

On May 7, 2002, the Company completed its acquisition of YGR, the parent company of LJS and A&W. See Note 5 for a discussion of the acquisition.

As of the date of the acquisition, YGR consisted of 742 and 496 company and franchise LJS units, respectively, and 127 and 742 company and franchise A&W units, respectively. The LJS unit totals included 133 multibranded LJS/A&W restaurants. Except as discussed in certain sections of MD&A, the impact of the acquisition on our results of operations in the quarter and year to date ended June 14, 2003 was not significant.

Wrench Litigation

Expense of $35 million was recorded in the quarter ended June 14, 2003. See Note 13 for a discussion of Wrench litigation.

AmeriServe and Other Charges (Credits)

AmeriServe and other charges (credits) was an expense of $2 million for both the quarter and year to date ended June 14, 2003. Income of $9 million and $20 million was recorded as AmeriServe and other (charges) credits for the quarter and year to date ended June 15, 2002. See Note 8 for a discussion of AmeriServe and other charges (credits).

Store Refranchisings and Closures

From time to time we sell Company restaurants to existing and new franchisees where geographic synergies can be obtained or where their expertise can generally be leveraged to improve our overall operating performance, while retaining Company ownership of key U.S. and International markets. Such refranchisings reduce our reported revenues and restaurant profits and increase the importance of system sales as a key performance measure.

The following table summarizes our refranchising activities:

Quarter
Year to date
6/14/03
6/15/02
6/14/03
6/15/02
Number of units refranchised   62   11   67   47  
Refranchising proceeds, pre-tax  $  9   $  5   $ 11   $ 24  
Refranchising gains (losses), pre-tax   $   -   $  3   $  (7 ) $   6  

The carrying value of our Puerto Rican business was written down by approximately $10 million ($6 million after tax) in the quarter ended March 22, 2003 to reflect current estimates of its fair value. This write down was recorded as a refranchising loss.

In addition to our refranchising program, from time to time we close restaurants that are poor performing, we relocate restaurants to a new site within the same trade area or we consolidate two or more of our existing units into a single unit (collectively, “store closures”).

The following table summarizes Company store closure activities:

Quarter
Year to date
6/14/03
6/15/02
6/14/03
6/15/02
Number of units closed   42   48   101   85  
Store closure costs  $  (2 ) $   5   $  (2 ) $ 13  
Impairment charges for stores to be closed   $   1 $   -   $   3   $   3  

The income in store closure costs for the quarter and year to date ended June 14, 2003 is primarily the result of gains from the sale or condemnation of properties on which we previously operated restaurants.

The impact on operating profit arising from refranchising and Company store closures is the net of (a) the estimated reduction in Company sales, restaurant profit and general and administrative expenses and (b) the estimated increase in franchise fees from the stores refranchised. The amounts presented below reflect the estimated impact from stores that were operated by us for all or some portion of the comparable period in 2002 and are no longer operated by us as of June 14, 2003.

Worldwide System Sales

System sales represents the combined sales of Company, unconsolidated affiliate, franchise and license restaurants. Sales of unconsolidated affiliate and franchise and license restaurants generate franchise and license fees for us but are not included in the Company sales figure we present on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. However, we believe that system sales is useful to investors as a significant indicator of

Income taxes and the effective tax rate as shown above reflect tax on all amounts included within our results of operations except for the impact of the income tax benefit of approximately $1 million on the $2 million cumulative effect adjustment recorded on December 29, 2002 due to the adoption of SFAS 143.

The decrease in our effective tax rate for the quarter was primarily due to a 300 basis point benefit of claiming credit against our current U.S. income tax liability for foreign taxes paid in certain prior years. The decrease was partially offset by the lapping of favorable adjustments in 2002 related to prior years.

The decrease in our year to date effective tax rate was primarily due to a 380 basis point benefit of claiming credit against our current U.S. income tax liability for foreign taxes paid in certain prior years. The decrease was partially offset by the lapping of favorable adjustments in 2002 related to prior years.

In 2003, we recognized the benefit of claiming credit against our current U.S. income tax liability for foreign taxes paid in certain prior years upon our determination that it was more beneficial to claim credit for such taxes than to deduct such taxes.

Consolidated Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities was $364 million compared to $498 million in 2002. This decrease was primarily driven by the timing of payments of certain prepaid and accrued obligations and income taxes.

Net cash used in investing activities was $208 million versus $529 million in 2002. The change is primarily due to the YGR acquisition in 2002 and lower capital spending versus 2002.

Net cash used in financing activities was $129 million versus net cash provided of $87 million in 2002. The change is primarily due to higher debt repayments and lower proceeds from stock option exercises versus 2002.

Financing Activities

Our primary bank credit agreement is comprised of a $1.2 billion senior unsecured Revolving Credit Facility (the “Credit Facility”) which matures on June 25, 2005. The Credit Facility is unconditionally guaranteed by our principal domestic subsidiaries and contains other terms and provisions (including representations, warranties, covenants, conditions and events of default). The Credit Facility contains financial covenants relating to leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. The Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants including, among other things, limitations on certain additional indebtedness, guarantees of indebtedness, cash dividends and certain other transactions.

At June 14, 2003, our unused Credit Facility totaled $0.9 billion, net of outstanding borrowings of $0.1 billion and outstanding letters of credit of $0.2 billion. The interest rate for borrowings under the Credit Facility ranges from 1.0% to 2.0% over the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or 0.00% to 0.65% over an Alternate Base Rate, which is the greater of the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50%. The exact spread over LIBOR or the Alternate Base Rate, as applicable, will depend upon our performance under specified financial criteria. Interest is payable at least quarterly.

We use derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, to lower interest expense and manage our exposure to interest rate risk. See our market risk disclosure for further discussion of our interest rate risk.

Consolidated Financial Condition

Assets increased $209 million or 4% to $5.6 billion primarily due to a net increase in Property, plant and equipment driven by capital expenditures and restaurant acquisitions in excess of depreciation and asset dispositions. The increase in Other assets from $555 million to $619 million was primarily due to the increase in deferred tax assets resulting from the current year deferred tax benefit. Accounts receivable, net increased primarily as the result of an increase in the receivables of consolidated advertising cooperatives which is offset by an increase in advertising cooperative payables and a decrease in advertising cooperative cash (included in Other assets). The decrease in the allowance for doubtful accounts from $42 million to $32 million was primarily the result of the write-off of receivables previously fully reserved and the transfer of certain allowance amounts, along with the related receivables, to longer term notes.

Liabilities decreased $27 million or 1% to $4.8 billion primarily due to the repayment of amounts under our Credit Facility and Short-term borrowings. Accounts payable and other current liabilities decreased due to the timing of payments, partially offset by the accrual of $35 million related to the Wrench lawsuit. The overall decrease in liabilities was partially offset by an increase in Income taxes payable due to the excess of the current year provision over tax payments made.

Liquidity

Operating in the QSR industry allows us to generate substantial cash flows from the operations of our Company stores and from our franchise operations. Franchise operations require us to make a limited investment in operating assets. Typically, our cash flows also include a significant amount of discretionary capital spending. Though a decline in revenues could adversely impact our cash flows from operations, we believe our operating cash flows and ability to adjust discretionary capital spending and borrow funds will allow us to meet our cash requirements for the remainder of 2003 and beyond.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to financial market risks associated with interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. In the normal course of business and in accordance with our policies, we manage these risks through a variety of strategies, which include the use of derivative financial and commodity instruments to hedge our underlying exposures. Our policies prohibit the use of derivative instruments for trading purposes, and we have procedures in place to monitor and control their use.

Interest Rate Risk

Our primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates, principally in the United States. We attempt to minimize this risk and lower our overall borrowing costs through the utilization of derivative financial instruments, primarily interest rate swaps. These swaps are entered into with financial institutions and have critical terms that match those of the underlying debt. Accordingly, any change in market value associated with interest rate swaps is offset by the opposite market impact on the related debt.

At June 14, 2003 and December 28, 2002, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in short-term interest rates would result in a reduction of $5 million and $6 million in annual income before taxes. The estimated reductions assume no changes in the volume or composition of debt. In addition, the fair value of our derivative financial instruments at June 14, 2003 and December 28, 2002 would decrease approximately $7 million and $8 million, respectively. The fair value of our Senior Unsecured Notes at June 14, 2003 and December 28, 2002 would decrease approximately $90 million and $93 million, respectively. Fair value was determined by discounting the projected cash flows.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

International operating profit constitutes approximately 36% of our year to date 2003 operating profit, excluding unallocated and corporate expenses. In addition, the Company’s foreign currency net asset exposure (defined as foreign currency denominated assets less foreign currency denominated liabilities) totaled approximately $1.3 billion as of June 14, 2003. Operating in international markets exposes the Company to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company’s primary exposures result from our operations in Asia-Pacific, the Americas and Europe. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates would impact the translation of our investments in foreign operations, the fair value of our foreign currency denominated financial instruments and our reported foreign currency denominated earnings and cash flows. For the year to date period ended June 14, 2003, operating profit would have decreased approximately $18 million if all foreign currencies had uniformly weakened 10% relative to the U.S. dollar. The estimated reduction assumes no changes in sales volumes or local currency sales or input prices.

We attempt to minimize the exposure related to our investments in foreign operations by financing those investments with local currency debt when practical. In addition, we attempt to minimize the exposure related




32





to foreign currency denominated financial instruments by purchasing goods and services from third parties in local currencies when practical. Foreign currency denominated financial instruments consist primarily of intercompany short-term receivables and payables. At times, we utilize forward contracts to reduce our exposure related to these foreign currency denominated financial instruments. The notional amount and maturity dates of these contracts match those of the underlying receivables or payables such that our foreign currency exchange risk related to these instruments is eliminated.

Commodity Price Risk

We are subject to volatility in food costs as a result of market risk associated with commodity prices. Our ability to recover increased costs through higher pricing is, at times, limited by the competitive environment in which we operate. We manage our exposure to this risk primarily through pricing agreements as well as, on a limited basis, commodity future and option contracts. Commodity future and option contracts outstanding at June 14, 2003 and December 28, 2002, were not significant to the Financial Statements.

Item 4.  Disclosure Controls

The Company has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 within 90 days prior to the filing date of this quarterly report. Based on the evaluation, performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (the “CFO”), the Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the evaluation.

Cautionary Statements

From time to time, in both written reports and oral statements, we present “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The statements include those identified by such words as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “plan” and other similar terminology. These “forward-looking statements” reflect our current expectations regarding future events and operating and financial performance and are based upon data available at the time of the statements. Actual results involve risks and uncertainties, including both those specific to the Company and those specific to the industry, and could differ materially from expectations.

Company risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, potentially substantial tax contingencies related to the Spin-off, which, if they occur, require us to indemnify PepsiCo, Inc.; our substantial debt leverage and the attendant potential restriction on our ability to borrow in the future, as well as our substantial interest expense and principal repayment obligations; potential unfavorable variances between estimated and actual liabilities; our ability to secure distribution of products and equipment to our restaurants on favorable economic terms and our ability to ensure adequate supply of restaurant products and equipment in our stores; the ongoing financial viability of our franchisees and licensees; volatility of actuarially determined losses and loss estimates; and adoption of new or changes in accounting policies and practices including pronouncements promulgated by standard setting bodies.

Industry risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, global and local business, economic and political conditions; legislation and governmental regulation; competition; success of operating initiatives and advertising and promotional efforts; volatility of commodity costs; increases in minimum wage and other




33





operating costs; availability and cost of land and construction; consumer preferences, spending patterns and demographic trends; political or economic instability in local markets and changes in currency exchange and interest rates; any adverse economic or operational repercussions from terrorist activities and any governmental response thereto; the impact that Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) may have on our business and economy of the countries in which we operate; and war or risk of war.

Independent Accountants' Review Report




The Board of Directors
YUM! Brands, Inc.:



We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of YUM! Brands, Inc. and Subsidiaries (“YUM”) as of June 14, 2003 and the related condensed consolidated statements of income for the twelve and twenty-four weeks ended June 14, 2003 and June 15, 2002 and the related condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the twenty-four weeks ended June 14, 2003 and June 15, 2002. These condensed consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of YUM’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical review procedures to financial data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet of YUM as of December 28, 2002, and the related consolidated statements of income, cash flows and shareholders’ equity (deficit) and comprehensive income for the year then ended not presented herein; and in our report dated February 7, 2003, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. Our report refers to the adoption of the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” in 2002. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 28, 2002 is fairly presented, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
