Third Quarter Highlights Total revenues increased 9% year over year to $2.91 billion from $2.68 billion (a 15% increase in constant currency). Total system sales increased 15% year over year, with increases of 15% at KFC and 13% at Pizza Hut in constant currency.

Opened 500 net new stores during the quarter; total store count reached 14,102, as of September 30, 2023. Operating Profit increased 2% year over year to $323 million from $316 million (a 9% increase in constant currency), primarily driven by sales leveraging. Adjusted Operating Profit increased 3% year over year to $327 million from $318 million (a 10% increase in constant currency).

Note:  All comparisons are versus the same period a year ago. Percentages may not recompute due to rounding. System sales and same-store sales percentages exclude the impact of F/X. Effective January 1, 2018, temporary store closures are normalized in the same-store sales calculation by excluding the period during which stores are temporarily closed. CEO and CFO Comments  Joey Wat, CEO of Yum China, commented, "We delivered a record third quarter in total revenues, adjusted operating profit and net new store openings. System sales grew 15% and adjusted operating profit excluding temporary reliefs grew 21% in constant currency. For the first nine months of the year, operating profit and adjusted operating profit also set new records, reaching around $1 billion. Our robust supply chain, industry-leading digital ecosystem and strong innovation capabilities have enabled us to stay agile in evolving market conditions. We continued to enrich our core menu offerings and launch targeted, engaging campaigns to drive incremental traffic. Beef burger and whole chicken categories combined make up more than 6% of KFC's sales mix, exceeding that of the Original Recipe Chicken. KFC's collaboration with Honkai: Star Rail, a popular e-game, broadened our customer reach and grew our membership base. Furthermore, we are expanding our price range to appeal to a broader customer base, tapping into underserved consumers. At Pizza Hut, we continue to expand pizza selections priced below RMB 50, to capture this very significant segment of the overall pizza market. At KFC, our offers range from premium products such as Ultra Cheese 2.0 Beef Burger to RMB 19.9 3-item value combos to address diverse customer preferences."  "We accelerated new store openings in the quarter, adding 500 net new stores. With 1,155 net new stores in the first three quarters of this year, we are on track to meet our updated full-year target of 1,400 to 1,600. Importantly, our new store payback periods and unit economics remain healthy. At our Investor Day in September, we shared our views on the vast, untapped potential that China continues to offer, even with moderate economic growth. With our "RGM 2.0" strategy, we are focusing on growth while reinforcing resilience and widening our strategic moats. We have set a clear roadmap and growth targets for 2024 to 2026. These include 20,000 stores by 2026 and a return of $3 billion to shareholders through cash dividends and share repurchases during the same three-year period. We are confident in our capabilities to capture growth opportunities," Wat concluded. Andy Yeung, CFO of Yum China, added, "In the third quarter, we achieved robust results despite macroeconomic headwinds. Same-store sales growth was solid on a year-over-year basis, and maintained at approximately 90% of the 2019 level in the quarter. But we observed softening consumer demand emerged in late September through October. Looking ahead, the fourth quarter is a seasonally small quarter in terms of sales and profits; hence small fluctuations in sales could have a more pronounced impact on our margins. It is important to highlight that during the fourth quarter last year, we received temporary relief of $26 million, which is not expected to repeat this year. Last year, we also experienced staffing shortages due to widespread COVID infections. This year, we are returning to more normalized operations and staffing levels at our restaurants. The post-pandemic economic recovery is shaping up to be a "wave-like" and "non-linear" process. So, we will continue to stay agile and take actions to drive sales and cost-efficiency in these evolving market conditions. However, the overall trend towards recovery is evident this year, and many of our performance metrics are setting new records.  We remain excited about the significant opportunities China presents and confident in delivering sustainable growth and long-term value to our shareholders. We are proud to report that we returned $211 million to shareholders in the third quarter, through cash dividends and share repurchases, and are on track to return $600 to 800 million for the full year." Share Repurchases and Dividends During the third quarter, the Company repurchased approximately 2.9 million shares of Yum China common stock for $157 million at an average price of $54.91 per share. As of September 30, 2023, approximately $870 million remained available for future share repurchases under the current authorization. The Board declared a cash dividend of $0.13 per share on Yum China's common stock, payable on December 19, 2023 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 28, 2023. Digital and Delivery KFC and Pizza Hut loyalty programs exceeded 460 million members combined, as of quarter-end. Member sales accounted for approximately 65% of system sales in the third quarter of 2023. Delivery contributed approximately 35% of KFC and Pizza Hut's Company sales in the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of 3% compared with the prior year period. Digital orders, including delivery, mobile orders and kiosk orders, accounted for approximately 89% of KFC and Pizza Hut's Company sales in the third quarter of 2023.

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. Company sales represent revenues from Company-owned restaurants. Company Restaurant profit ("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. Certain comparative items in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation to facilitate comparison Reconciliation of Reported GAAP Results to Non-GAAP Adjusted 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 non-GAAP 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, which we define 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, certain non-cash expenses, consisting of depreciation and amortization as well as store impairment charges, and Special Items. We also use Restaurant profit and Restaurant margin (as defined above) for the purposes of internally evaluating the performance of our Company-owned restaurants and we believe Restaurant profit and Restaurant margin provide useful information to investors as to the profitability of our Company-owned restaurants. The following table set forth the reconciliation of the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP adjusted financial measures. The reconciliation of GAAP Operating Profit to Restaurant Profit is presented in Segment Results within this release.

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. 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. The Company excludes impact from Special Items for the purpose of evaluating performance internally. Special Items are not included in any of our segment results. In addition, the Company provides Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that investors and analysts may find it useful in measuring operating performance without regard to items such as 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 analyst may find it useful in measuring operating performance without regard to such non-cash item. These adjusted 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 adjusted 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 ongoing operations due to their nature.                                                    Unit Count by Brand KFC 12/31/2022 New Builds Closures Refranchised 9/30/2023 Company-owned 8,214 868 (164) (3) 8,915 Franchisees 880 131 (12) 3 1,002 Total 9,094 999 (176) — 9,917 Pizza Hut 12/31/2022 New Builds Closures Refranchised 9/30/2023 Company-owned 2,760 366 (77) (2) 3,047 Franchisees 143 12 (2) 2 155 Total 2,903 378 (79) — 3,202 Others 12/31/2022 New Builds Closures 9/30/2023 Company-owned 187 59 (16) 230 Franchisees 763 84 (94) 753 Total 950 143 (110) 983     Yum China Holdings, Inc.
