David C. Novak, Chairman and CEO, said, “I’m pleased to report that 2010 was perhaps our best year as a public company. We finished the year with a strong fourth quarter that resulted in 27% EPS growth, excluding special items. We delivered 17% full year EPS growth, making 2010 the ninth consecutive year we exceeded our annual target of at least 10%. I’m particularly pleased that performance was driven by an impressive 15% increase in operating profit, before currency translation, including gains across all of our business divisions.

I am equally pleased that in addition to strong financial performance, we improved our competitive position around the world. The highlight of our year was the fantastic performance from our China business, as we increased operating profit 26%, prior to foreign currency translation. KFC added 414 new restaurants in China and now has over 3,200 units throughout the country. Pizza Hut Casual Dining further demonstrated that it is a growing, profitable, and respected force in the casual dining category. In addition to extending our lead in China, we also built upon our position as the global restaurant leader in other emerging markets. During 2010, over 1,000 of the 1,391 new international units we added were in emerging markets. Yum! now has over 10,000 restaurants in emerging markets throughout the world. Our leadership and growth potential in China and other emerging markets, coupled with the strength of our brands around the world, lead us to believe we’re on the ground floor of even more global growth.

As we enter 2011, we know that we face commodity inflation and a global economy that is still recovering. However, we are fortunate that the sizable unit development we achieved in 2010 provides us with a head start toward achieving our 2011 profit growth. I am very confident that we will build on our track record of double-digit EPS growth.”

●		China Division system sales grew 17% for the full year and 19% for the fourth quarter, prior to the benefit of foreign currency translation, driven by significant new unit development and strong same-store-sales growth. Several successful KFC sales-building initiatives, including breakfast, delivery and 24 hour operation produced solid growth in transactions. KFC same-store-sales increased 5% for the year. Pizza Hut Casual Dining continued to revamp its menu every six months and leverage various value initiatives. Same-store-sales increased 14% for the year at Pizza Hut Casual Dining.

	○		China opened 507 new restaurants for the full year including a record 262 in the fourth quarter.

●	Restaurant margin increased 1.1 percentage points for the full year driven primarily by same-store-sales growth from higher transaction counts and commodity deflation. The impact of higher labor costs had a more negative impact on restaurant margin as the year progressed.

●	Full year operating profit benefited $16 million from our brands’ participation in the World Expo in Shanghai. This benefit will not occur in 2011.

●	Foreign currency translation benefited operating profit by $6 million for the full year and $4 million in the fourth quarter.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measurements to GAAP Results

(amounts in millions, except per share amounts)

(unaudited)

In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) throughout this document, the Company has provided non-GAAP measurements which present operating results in 2010 and 2009 on a basis before Special Items. Included in Special Items are the U.S. refranchising gain (loss), the depreciation reduction from the KFC restaurants impaired upon our offer to refranchise in 2010, charges relating to U.S. General and Administrative (“G&A”) productivity initiatives and realignment of resources, investments in our U.S. Brands, the losses recognized as a result of refranchising equity markets outside the U.S., a 2009 U.S. Goodwill impairment charge, and the 2009 gain upon our acquisition of additional ownership in, and consolidation of, the operating entity that owns the KFCs in Shanghai, China. These amounts are described in (d), (e) and (f) in the accompanying notes.

The Company uses earnings before Special Items as a key performance measure of results of operations for the purpose of evaluating performance internally. This non-GAAP measurement is not intended to replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP. Rather, the Company believes that the presentation of earnings before Special Items provides additional information to investors to facilitate the comparison of past and present operations, excluding items in 2010 and 2009 that the Company does not believe are indicative of our ongoing operations due to their size and/or nature.

(a)	Percentages may not recompute due to rounding.

(b)	Amounts presented as of and for the quarter and year ended December 25, 2010 are preliminary.

(c)

China Division Other (income) expense includes equity income from our investments in unconsolidated affiliates. In the year ended December 26, 2009, Unallocated Other (income) expense includes the gain upon our acquisition of additional ownership in, and consolidation of, the operating entity that owns the KFCs in Shanghai, China (see Note d).

(d)

On May 4, 2009 we acquired an additional 7% ownership in the entity that operates more than 200 KFCs in Shanghai, China for $12 million, increasing our ownership to 58%. Prior to our acquisition of this additional interest this entity was accounted for as an unconsolidated affiliate under the equity method of accounting due to the effective participation of our partners in the significant decisions of the entity that were made in the ordinary course of business. Concurrent with the acquisition we received additional rights in the governance of the entity, and thus we began consolidating the entity upon acquisition. As required by GAAP, we remeasured our previously held 51% ownership in the entity, which had a recorded value of $17 million at the date of acquisition, at fair value and recognized a gain of $68 million accordingly. The gain which did not result in a related income tax expense, was recorded as unallocated other income during the quarter ended June 13, 2009 and has been reflected as a Special Item for certain performance measures (see accompanying reconciliation to reported results). For the year ended December 25, 2010 the consolidation of the existing restaurants upon acquisition increased Company sales by $98 million and decreased Franchise and license fees and income by $6 million. The consolidation of the existing restaurants upon acquisition increased Operating Profit by $3 million for the year ended December 25, 2010.

(e)

As part of our plan to transform our U.S. business we took several measures (“the U.S. business transformation measures”) in 2010 and 2009 including: expansion of our U.S. refranchising, potentially reducing our Company ownership in the U.S. to below 10%; a reduced emphasis on multi-branding as a long-term growth strategy; G&A productivity initiatives and realignment of resources (primarily severance and early retirement costs); and investments in our U.S. Brands made on behalf of our franchisees such as equipment purchases. As a result of a decline in future profit expectations for our Long John Silver’s (LJS) and A&W businesses due in part to the impact of the reduced emphasis on multi-branding, we recorded a non-cash charge of $26 million, which resulted in no related income tax benefit, in the fourth quarter of 2009 to write-off goodwill associated with these businesses. We have traditionally not allocated refranchising (gains) losses for segment reporting purposes and will not allocate the costs associated with the productivity initiatives, realignment of resources, LJS/A&W goodwill impairment and investments in our U.S. Brands to the U.S. segment. Additionally, these items have been reflected as Special Items for certain performance measures (see accompanying reconciliation to reported results). U.S. refranchising loss recorded in the year ended December 25, 2010 is the net result of gains from 404 restaurants sold and non-cash impairment charges related to our offers to refranchise restaurants in the U.S., principally a substantial portion of our Company operated KFCs. We have recorded the depreciation reduction for the quarter and year ended December 25, 2010 resulting from the non-cash impairment charge related to these KFCs as a Special Item, resulting in depreciation expense in the U.S. Segment results continuing to be recorded at the rate at which it was prior to the impairment charge being recorded. Investments in our U.S. Brands recorded in 2009 reflect our reimbursements to KFC franchisees for installation costs of ovens for the national launch of Kentucky Grilled Chicken and have been recorded as a reduction of Franchise and license fees and income.

(f)

During the quarter ended December 25, 2010, we recognized a $52 million loss on the refranchising of our Mexico equity market as we sold all of our company owned restaurants, comprised of 222 KFCs and 123 Pizza Huts, to an existing Latin American franchise partner. The buyer will also serve as the master franchisor for Mexico which had 102 KFC and 53 Pizza Hut franchise restaurants at the time of the transaction. During the quarter ended September 5, 2009 we recognized a $10 million refranchising loss as a result of our decision to offer to refranchise our KFC Taiwan equity market. During the quarter ended March 20, 2010 we refranchised all of our remaining company restaurants in Taiwan, which consisted of 124 KFCs. We included in our March 20, 2010 financial statements a non-cash write off of $7 million of goodwill in determining the loss on refranchising of Taiwan. These losses did not result in a related income tax benefit, were not allocated to any segment for performance reporting purposes and have been reflected as Special Items for certain performance measures (see accompanying reconciliation to reported results).

(g)

In 2010 we began reporting information for our Thailand and KFC Taiwan businesses within our International Division as a result of changes to our management reporting structure. These businesses now report to the President of our YRI Division whereas previously they reported to the President of our China Division. Beginning in 2010, the China Division only consists of operations in mainland China and the International Division includes the remainder of our international operations. While this reporting change did not impact our Consolidated results, segment information for previous periods has been restated to be consistent with the current period presentation.

The following table summarizes the 2009 quarterly increases to selected line items within the YRI segment as a result of these segment reporting changes (with equal and offsetting decreases impacting the China Division segment):

	First		Second		Third		Fourth
	Quarter		Quarter		Quarter		Quarter		Total
