Retirement Benefits [Abstract]  
Pension Benefits Pension Benefits

We sponsor qualified and supplemental (non-qualified) noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering certain full-time salaried and hourly U.S. employees.  The most significant of these plans, the YUM Retirement Plan (the "Plan"), is funded. We fund our other U.S. plans as benefits are paid.  The Plan and our most significant non-qualified plan in the U.S. are closed to new salaried participants.  

The components of net periodic benefit cost associated with our significant U.S. pension plans are as follows:

(a)
Reflects a non-cash, out-of-year charge related to the adjustment of certain historical deferred vested liability balances in the Plan during the first quarter of 2017 recorded in Other pension (income) expense. See Note 5.

For the quarter and year to date ended June 30, 2017, we recognized additional loss due to pension settlements of $3 million and $8 million, respectively. Losses are a result of settlement transactions which exceeded the sum of annual service and interest costs for the applicable plan. These losses were recorded in Other pension (income) expense.
