David C. Novak, Chairman and CEO said, “I'm pleased to report we are raising our full year EPS growth forecast to at least 12% based on the continued strength of our international businesses. We delivered EPS growth of 13% in the second quarter as strong performance in China and other emerging markets, combined with the benefit of a lower tax rate, offset a very disappointing quarter in the U.S.

Our China business continues to be the leading growth story in the restaurant industry, as our category-leading brands are performing stronger than ever. Operating profit grew 25% in China, prior to foreign currency translation, as same-store sales grew an impressive 18%. We surpassed 4,000 restaurants in China this quarter and our new unit returns remain excellent. Yum! Restaurants International (YRI) operating profit increased 11%, led by outstanding performance in high-growth emerging markets, where system sales grew 11%, both prior to foreign currency translation. Our development pipeline is robust, and we remain on track to open 1,400 new units outside the U.S. this year. We are confident new unit development will continue to be a key factor in our ability to drive future sales and profit growth.

Our outstanding international results were offset by a 28% decline in U.S. profits, driven by higher commodity costs and a 4% decline in same-store sales. As previously communicated, we anticipated weak second quarter sales and profits, driven largely by the negative impact of a meritless lawsuit and resulting negative publicity at Taco Bell. We expect to improve on these very disappointing results by the fourth quarter.

For the full year, we expect strong performance from both China and YRI as well as the benefit from foreign currency translation to overcome a challenging year in the U.S. We're obviously confident 2011 will be the tenth consecutive year we exceed our annual target of at least 10% EPS growth.”

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 2011 and 2010 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 that remained Company stores for some or all of the quarter and year to date ended June 11, 2011, charges relating to U.S. General and Administrative ("G&A") productivity initiatives and realignment of resources, the 2010 loss recognized as a result of refranchising an equity market outside the U.S., and the impairment of intangibles and other costs relating to the planned sale of our Long John Silver's ("LJS") and A&W All-American Food Restaurants ("A&W") brands. These amounts are described in (b), (c) and (d) 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 2011 and 2010 that the Company does not believe are indicative of our ongoing operations due to their size and/or nature.

Notes to the Consolidated Summary of Results, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets

and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

(amounts in millions, except per share amounts)

(unaudited)


(a)	Amounts presented as of and for the quarter and year to date ended June 11, 2011 are preliminary.

(b)

As part of our plan to transform our U.S. business we took several measures ("the U.S. business transformation measures") in 2011 and 2010 including: continuation of our U.S. refranchising, potentially reducing our Company ownership in the U.S., excluding the LJS and A&W brands, to about 12%; and G&A productivity initiatives and realignment of resources (primarily severance and early retirement costs). We have traditionally not allocated refranchising (gains) losses for segment reporting purposes and will not allocate the costs associated with the productivity initiatives and realignment of resources 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 to date ended June 12, 2010 is primarily due to 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 to date ended June 11, 2011 and the quarter ended June 12, 2010 resulting from the non-cash impairment charge related to these KFCs that remained Company stores for some or all of the quarter and year to date ended June 11, 2011 or quarter ended June 12, 2010 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 for these KFCs while we own the restaurants.

(c)

During the quarter ended March 19, 2011, we decided to sell the LJS and A&W brands resulting in a pre-tax non-cash write down of the brands' intangible assets totaling $66 million. The write down, as well as other charges relating to the planned sale totaling $1 million and $3 million in the quarter and year to date ended June 11, 2011, respectively, have not been allocated for segment reporting purposes and have been reflected as Special Items for certain performance reporting measures (see accompanying reconciliation to reported results).

(d)

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. This loss did not result in a related income tax benefit, was not allocated to any segment for performance reporting purposes and has been reflected as a Special Item for certain performance measures (see accompanying reconciliation to reported results).


(e)	Other (income) expense for the China Division primarily consists of equity income from investments in unconsolidated affiliates.

(f)

In connection with the potential acquisition of Little Sheep Group Limited (“Little Sheep”), in which we currently own 27% of the outstanding shares, we have placed $300 million in an escrow account to demonstrate availability of funds to acquire additional shares in this business. The funds placed in escrow are restricted to the potential acquisition of Little Sheep and are included in Restricted cash in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 11, 2011.
