Reported Operating Profit of $41 million in the fourth quarter and
$629 million for the full year reflecting resilience and business agility
Opened 1,159 net new stores in the year, laying solid foundation for growth       

SHANGHAI, Feb. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Yum China Holdings, Inc. (the "Company" or "Yum China") (NYSE: YUMC and HKEX: 9987) today reported unaudited results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022.

Impact of COVID Outbreak and Mitigation Efforts 

In the fourth quarter, there were substantial changes in COVID conditions and policies in China. In October and November, sporadic occurrences of COVID infection quickly evolved into major regional outbreaks, leading to tightened COVID-related health measures and lockdowns. The number of our stores that were either temporarily closed or offered only takeaway and delivery services increased in October and November, peaking at over 4,300 in late November.

In December, the government issued a series of new COVID response guidelines that significantly changed its COVID policies, including removing mass testing and central quarantine requirements as well as lifting travel restrictions. A massive wave of infections quickly surged in the country, spreading from major cities such as Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai. The northern and western regions of China were impacted first, followed by the southern and eastern regions. Due to widespread infections, we experienced a shortage of restaurant staff which led to over 1,300 stores on average being either temporarily closed or offering limited services during December. As a significant portion of the population was either infected or chose to stay home to avoid infection, dine-in traffic declined substantially. We quickly responded to the new challenges by reallocating crew resources among stores to prioritize stores with stronger demand. Many of the stores that remained open operated with shortened operating hours and a simplified menu to streamline operations. We also addressed off-premise demand by leveraging our dedicated riders, encouraging pick-up and promoting packaged food products.

Sales in January improved sequentially, driven by the resumption of normal services at our restaurants and an earlier Chinese New Year ("CNY") holiday season, which coincided with the pivot in COVID policies. Many people traveled during the holiday for the first time since COVID began. According to government statistics, the number of domestic travelers and related tourism spending during the 7-day CNY holiday increased approximately 20% and 30% year over year, respectively, but remained over 10% and 30% below the 2019 level, respectively. Performance at our transportation and tourist locations was better than the statistics indicated. Overall same-store sales for the comparable CNY holiday also increased mid-single digit year over year, but remained below the 2019 level.

As the country enters the new phase of COVID response, we are cautiously optimistic. The overall business environment and consumer sentiment have improved but near term uncertainties remain. Consumers tend to be more careful with spending after holidays. Experiences in other countries also suggest further outbreaks following relaxation of COVID restrictions and emergence of different COVID variants are real possibilities. A portion of the population may remain cautious about going out in public, while macroeconomic factors such as an inflationary environment and softening global economic conditions may weigh on consumer spending. As such, we are staying alert in this fluid situation and planning for multiple scenarios to capture growth opportunities and mitigate risks when needed.

CEO and CFO Comments

Joey Wat, CEO of Yum China, commented, "I am incredibly grateful to our employees for their agility, creativity and tenacity navigating the extraordinary challenges in the fourth quarter. Our team executed well in a volatile environment, serving our customers and communities even at times of labor shortages. Despite major disruptions, we protected margins and delivered meaningful operating profit for the quarter. Looking back at the past year, our delicious food such as beef burgers and durian pizza won the hearts of customers. Our value for money offerings such as Crazy Thursday and Sunday Buy More Save More drove traffic. Co-branded campaigns with Pokemon Psyduck and Genshin Impact generated huge social buzz. We also transformed our business fundamentals amidst hardship – innovating store formats, rebasing cost structures as well as investing in supply chain and digital capabilities which position us well for stronger, long-term growth."

Wat added, "As we embark on 2023, we are excited to see positive momentum in the Chinese New Year holiday. Our signature golden bucket at KFC and holiday-themed pizza at Pizza Hut have become favorites among friends and families celebrating together. We carefully planned our restaurant staffing and rider resources to ensure operational excellence, ready to meet consumer demand. Our anti-fragile operations will help us shine, in good times and bad. We will continue to build Yum China into an even more resilient, profitable and growing company."

Andy Yeung, CFO of Yum China, added, "Regional outbreaks in October and November resulted in strict COVID-related health measures. However, most of these measures were lifted in December. Our operations were significantly disrupted by widespread infections nationwide in the quarter. We took decisive actions to sustain operations, capture off-premise demand, manage costs and drive operational efficiencies. We improved profitability despite lower sales. We also opened a record 538 net new stores in the fourth quarter while maintaining healthy new store payback."

Yeung continued, "Looking ahead, we are encouraged by the new COVID policy and Chinese New Year holiday trading.  But the real test will be the sales trajectory after the holiday and how the economy will rebound, given the fluid COVID conditions and macroeconomic headwinds. As such, we must stay agile and plan for a range of scenarios. Our priority this year is to drive sales. We also plan to open between 1,100 to 1,300 net new stores in 2023 and continue to invest in technology and infrastructure."

Share Repurchases and Dividends

• During the fourth quarter, we repurchased approximately 1.2 million shares of Yum China common stock for $52 million at an average price of $44.13 per share. As of December 31, 2022, approximately $1.2 billion remained available for future share repurchases under the current authorization.
• The Board of Directors declared an increase in our cash dividend to $0.13 per share on Yum China's common stock, payable on March 28, 2023 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on March 7, 2023.
• For the full year 2022, the Company returned approximately $668 million to shareholders in the form of share repurchases and cash dividends.

Digital and Delivery

• The KFC and Pizza Hut loyalty programs exceeded 410 million members combined, as of quarter-end. Member sales accounted for approximately 60% of system sales in the fourth quarter of 2022.
• Delivery contributed approximately 45% of KFC and Pizza Hut's Company sales in the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase of approximately 10 percentage points from the prior year period. Worsened COVID conditions in the quarter significantly impacted dine-in traffic and drove strong demand for delivery.
• Digital orders, including delivery, mobile orders and kiosk orders, accounted for approximately 90% of KFC and Pizza Hut's Company sales in the fourth quarter of 2022.

New-Unit Development and Asset Upgrade

• The Company opened 538 net new stores in the fourth quarter of 2022, and 1,824 gross new stores, or 1,159 net new stores, in the full year 2022, mainly driven by development of the KFC and Pizza Hut brands.
• The Company remodeled 153 stores in the fourth quarter of 2022 and 469 stores in the full year 2022.

Restaurant Margin

• Restaurant margin was 10.4% in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared with 7.5% in the prior year period, primarily attributable to higher labor productivity, operational efficiency and temporary relief, partially offset by sales deleveraging including temporary store closures, increased rider cost associated with rising delivery volumes as well as commodity and wage inflation.
• Restaurant margin was 14.1% in the full year 2022, compared with 13.7% in the prior year, primarily attributable to higher labor productivity, operational efficiency and temporary relief, partially offset by sales deleveraging, commodity and wage inflation, and increased rider cost associated with rising delivery volumes.

	Fourth Quarter			Full Year
		2022		2021		ppts change			2022		2021		ppts change
Yum China		10.4 %		7.5 %		+2.9			14.1 %		13.7 %		+0.4

2023 Outlook

The Company currently expects:

• To open approximately 1,100 to 1,300 net new stores.
• To make capital expenditures in the range of approximately $700 million to $900 million.

Other Updates

• In November 2022, the Company received approval from Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) on its near-term greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions reduction targets. The Company has committed to reducing its absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 63% by 2035 from a 2020 base year, and to reducing its Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods by 66.3% per ton of goods purchased by 2035 from a 2020 base year. The Company has pledged to align its business with the most ambitious aim of the Paris Agreement, to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 ^oC above pre-industrial levels and reach net-zero by 2050.
• In December 2022, the Company acquired an additional 20% equity interest in the Suzhou KFC joint venture ("Suzhou KFC") for approximately $115 million, bringing total ownership from 72% to 92%. As Suzhou KFC has been consolidated by the Company since 2020, this transaction does not have a material impact on the consolidated statement of income in the fourth quarter.

In this press release:

• The Company provides certain percentage changes excluding the impact of foreign currency translation ("F/X"). 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, franchise and unconsolidated affiliate 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 and unconsolidated affiliate restaurants typically generate ongoing franchise fees for the Company at an average rate of approximately 6% of system sales. Franchise and unconsolidated affiliate 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 Company 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.

⁽¹⁾  In the quarters ended December 31 and September 30, 2021, as a result of the consolidation of Hangzhou KFC and the Lavazza joint venture, the Company recognized a gain of $618 million and $10 million, respectively, from the re-measurement of our previously held equity interest at fair value.

⁽²⁾  In February 2020, the Company granted Partner PSU Awards to select employees who were deemed critical to the Company's execution of its strategic operating plan. 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.

⁽³⁾  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.

The above tables reconcile segment information, which is based on management responsibility, with our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
(1) Amounts have not been allocated to any segment for purpose of making operating decision or assessing financial performance as the transactions are deemed corporate revenues and expenses in nature.
(2) Primarily included revenues and associated expenses of transactions with franchisees and unconsolidated affiliates derived from the Company's central procurement model whereby the Company centrally purchases substantially all food and paper products from suppliers and then sells and delivers to KFC and Pizza Hut restaurants, including franchisees and unconsolidated affiliates that operate our concepts.
