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 of 2022, we completed the transfer of ownership of the Pizza Hut Russia business to a local operator. In April 2023, we completed our exit from the Russian market by selling the KFC business in Russia to Smart Service Ltd., including all Russian company owned KFC restaurants, operating system, and master franchise rights as well as the trademark
for the Rostik's brand. Under the sale and purchase agreement, the buyer agreed to lead the process to rebrand KFC restaurants in Russia to Rostik's and to retain the Company's employees in Russia. We recorded a charge of $3 million to Other income (expense) during the year ended December 31, 2023 as the write-off of our net investment in KFC Russia, including the related cumulative foreign currency translation losses of $60 million, exceeded the consideration received from the sale which primarily included cash proceeds of $121 million.
Our operating results presented herein reflect revenues from and expenses to support the Russian operations for KFC and Pizza Hut prior to the dates of sale or transfer, within their historical financial statement line items and operating segments. However, given our decision to exit Russia and our pledge to direct any future net profits attributable to Russia subsequent to the date of invasion to humanitarian efforts, we reclassed the resulting net profits or losses subsequent to that date from the Division segment results in which they were earned to Unallocated Other income (expense).
