Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Financial Statement Presentation	Financial Statement Presentation We have prepared our accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (“Financial Statements”) in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. Therefore, we suggest that the accompanying Financial Statements be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (“2021 Form 10-K”). Yum! Brands, Inc. and its Subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as the “Company,” “YUM,” “we,” “us” or “our”) franchise or operate a system of nearly 54,000 restaurants in more than 155 countries and territories. As of September 30, 2022, 98% of these restaurants were owned and operated by franchisees. The Company’s KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut brands are global leaders of the chicken, Mexican-style and pizza food categories, respectively. The Habit Burger Grill is a fast-casual restaurant concept specializing in made-to-order chargrilled burgers, sandwiches and more. As of September 30, 2022, YUM consisted of four operating segments: •The KFC Division which includes our worldwide operations of the KFC concept •The Taco Bell Division which includes our worldwide operations of the Taco Bell concept •The Pizza Hut Division which includes our worldwide operations of the Pizza Hut concept •The Habit Burger Grill Division which includes our worldwide operations of the Habit Burger Grill concept YUM's fiscal year begins on January 1 and ends December 31 of each year, with each quarter comprised of three months. The majority of our U.S. subsidiaries, including, beginning in fiscal year 2022, our Habit Burger Grill Division, and certain international subsidiaries operate on a weekly periodic calendar where the first three quarters of each fiscal year consist of 12 weeks and the fourth quarter consists of 16 weeks in fiscal years with 52 weeks and 17 weeks in fiscal years with 53 weeks. Our remaining international subsidiaries operate on a monthly calendar similar to that on which YUM operates. For fiscal year 2021, our Habit Burger Grill Division operated on a weekly periodic calendar where each quarter consisted of 13 weeks. The impact of this change in reporting calendar was not significant and accordingly, prior year amounts presented in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have not been restated. Our preparation of the accompanying Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The accompanying Financial Statements include all normal and recurring adjustments considered necessary to present fairly, when read in conjunction with our 2021 Form 10-K, the results of the interim periods presented. Our results of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in shareholders' deficit for these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Our significant interim accounting policies include the recognition of advertising and marketing costs, generally in proportion to revenue, and the recognition of income taxes using an estimated annual effective tax rate. We have reclassified certain other items in the Financial Statements for the prior periods to be comparable with the classification for the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2022. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported Net Income. Russia Invasion of Ukraine In the first quarter of 2022, as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, we suspended all investment and restaurant development in Russia. We also suspended all operations of our 70 company-owned KFC restaurants in Russia and began finalizing an agreement to suspend all Pizza Hut operations in Russia, in partnership with our master franchisee. Further, we pledged to redirect any future net profits attributable to Russia subsequent to the date of invasion to humanitarian efforts. During the second quarter, we completed the transfer of ownership of the Pizza Hut Russia business to a local operator who has initiated the process of re-branding locations to a non-YUM concept. During the third quarter, we initiated the bidding process for the KFC Russia business and, as a result, those operations qualified for held-for-sale accounting at September 30, 2022. Total KFC Russia assets held-for-sale of $224 million and total KFC Russia liabilities held-for-sale of $82 million are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Accounts payable and other current liabilities, respectively, in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2022. At September 30, 2022, we determined the carrying value of the KFC Russia asset group was recoverable based on expected sale proceeds. In October 2022, we announced that we have entered into a sale and purchase agreement to transfer ownership of our KFC Russia restaurants, operating system and master franchise rights, including the network of KFC franchised restaurants, to Smart Service Ltd., a business operated by one of our existing KFC franchisees in Russia. Under the agreement, the buyer will be responsible for re-branding locations to a non-YUM concept and retaining the Company's employees in Russia. Completion of the transaction is subject to regulatory and governmental approvals, as well as other conditions. Following the completion of the transaction, we will have ceased our corporate presence in Russia.
