On October 31st we completed the spin-off of the China business into a powerful, Greg Creed, independent, publicly-traded company positioned for long-term Chief Executive Officer Yum! Brands Inc. growth. This marked the largest strategic initiative undertaken by Yum! since our spin-off from Pepsi 20 years ago. Yum China Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: YUMC) is now our largest franchisee and pays us a 3% license fee on system sales of our brands in mainland China. I’d like to recognize the work, effort and diligence across the organization that enabled us to complete the spin-off on time and with great success. The China spin-off and return of $6.2 billion of capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases in 2016 concluded step one of Yum!’s transformation. Step two, which we announced in October 2016, includes executing a multi-year strategy to accelerate growth, further reduce volatility in our results and increase capital returns. This transformation will result in a company that is more focused, more franchised and more efficient, all of which will ultimately enable us to deliver more growth. The lynchpin in our transformation is the power of more focus, which will enable us to deliver sustainable, long-term results. With this in mind we defined four growth capabilities outlined below. These are the key drivers of same-store sales growth and net-new unit growth, and will govern every decision and action we undertake. 1. Distinctive, relevant brands. We will innovate and elevate iconic restaurant brands people trust and champion. 2. Unmatched franchise operating capability. We will recruit and equip the best restaurant operators in the world to deliver great customer experiences. 3. Bold restaurant development. We will drive market and franchise unit expansion with strong economics and value. 4. Unrivaled culture & talent. We will leverage culture and people capability to fuel brand performance and franchisee success. As we announced in October we are on a path to become more franchised, increasing our franchise mix to at least 98% by the end of 2018. This will increase our franchise fees significantly as a percentage of operating profit, producing a more stable and predictable cash flow stream. We intend to own no more than 2% of our restaurants with an “Own to Learn” mindset. Our leaders will completely dedicate themselves to our four growth capabilities. Finally, we will run a more efficientt business it. Going forward KFC will continue this focus model, whereby we intend to limit G&A to on the basics, coupled with a big push on the 1.7% of system sales and reduce annual capital digital front and delivery. expenditures to about $100 million by the end of 2019.

  • Yum China Launches Family Care Program for Restaurant Management Team
    Yum China Launches Family Care Program for Restaurant Management Team 5 February, 2020 SHANGHAI, Feb. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Yum China Holdings, Inc. (the "Company" or "Yum China") (NYSE: YUMC) today announced the launch of a family care program, by establishing the "Restaurant Management Team (RMT) Family Care Fund". The program is designed to provide additional health protection for family members of restaurant management employees. The new scheme will start in July 2020 and cover an estimated 86,000 parents, spouses and children of more than 31,000 RMT employees. On top of the existing commercial insurance, RMT members will be entitled to additional coverage for critical illness for their parents as well as additional accident coverage for their children and spouse. The scheme also offers express medical treatment for their parents in selected hospitals. "In 2018, Yum China launched the Restaurant General Manager (RGM) Family Care Program, which was greatly appreciated by our RGMs and their families. Since then we have been exploring ways to offer a similar program for RMT members who are sometimes required to take on the extreme burden of caring for their families when faced with unfortunate events. The establishment of this plan further reinforces our commitment to being a supportive and caring employer," said Joey Wat, CEO of Yum China. RMT members can participate in the scheme on a voluntary basis with only a small contribution to the fund every year. The bulk of the remaining cost will be borne by the Company. This scheme goes beyond others in the market by increasing the age cap to 75 years for employees' parents and 22 years for their children.

  • Yum China Reports First Quarter 2020 Results
    Yum China Reports First Quarter 2020 Results 28 April, 2020 Total Revenues down 24%. System Sales down 20% and Same Store Sales down 15% in constant currency Opened 179 new stores and Reported $97 million Operating Profit despite Unprecedented COVID-19 Impact SHANGHAI, April 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Yum China Holdings, Inc. (the "Company" or "Yum China") (NYSE: YUMC) today reported unaudited results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020. Impact of COVID-19 Outbreak and Mitigation Efforts As the COVID-19 outbreak progressed, Yum China further heightened its focus on safeguarding the health and safety of its employees and customers. The Company implemented stringent health measures at its restaurants and workplaces, and provided extended healthcare and other support to employees. First quarter operations were significantly affected by the outbreak. Working closely with local health authorities to safeguard the public, the Company began temporary store closures in late January where appropriate. Approximately 35% of stores were closed by mid-February at the peak of the outbreak, with significant regional differences. As of the date of this release, approximately 99% of stores in China are either partially or fully open. For restaurants that remained open, same-store sales declined due to shortened operating hours and reduced traffic, with a significant portion of stores providing only delivery and takeaway services. Our results were strong for the first three weeks of January, but then the outbreak led to subsequent same-store sales declines of 40-50% compared to the comparable Chinese New Year holiday period in 2019. As the first quarter progressed, sales performance recovered gradually, with same-store sales down approximately 20% in late March.
