Note 3 – Transactions with YUM

Prior to the separation, there existed a parent-subsidiary relationship between YUM and the Company. We had the following transactions with YUM for the quarter and year to date ended August 31, 2016:

Allocation of Corporate Expenses

Prior to October 31, 2016, YUM historically performed centralized corporate functions on our behalf. Accordingly, certain YUM costs have been allocated to the Company and reflected as expenses in the Condensed Combined Financial Statements. Management considers the allocation methodologies used to be reasonable and appropriate reflections of the historical expenses attributable to the Company. The expenses reflected in the Condensed Combined Financial Statements may not be indicative of the actual expenses that would have been incurred during the periods presented if we had operated as a separate, standalone entity.

Corporate expense allocations primarily relate to centralized corporate functions, including finance, accounting, treasury, tax, legal, internal audit and risk management functions. In addition, corporate expense allocations include, among other costs, IT maintenance, professional fees for legal services and expenses related to litigation, investigations or similar matters. Corporate allocations of $3 million and $9 million were allocated to the Company during the quarter and year to date ended August 31, 2016, respectively, and have been included in general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses in the Condensed Combined Statements of Income. All of the corporate allocations of costs are deemed to have been incurred and settled through Parent Company Investment in the Condensed Combined Balance Sheets in the period where the costs were recorded. Following the separation from YUM, we perform these functions using our own resources or purchased services.

License Fee

The Condensed Combined Statements of Income include license fees that were historically paid to YUM comprised of initial fees and continuing fees equal to 3% of our Company and franchise sales prior to October 31, 2016. Total license fees paid during the quarter and year to date ended August 31, 2016 are reflected in the table below:

Cash Management and Treasury

The Company funds its operations through cash generated from the operation of its Company-owned stores, franchise operations and dividend payments from unconsolidated affiliates. Prior to October 31, 2016, excess cash was historically repatriated to YUM through intercompany loans or dividends. Transfers of cash both to and from YUM are included within Parent Company Investment in the Condensed Combined Balance Sheets. YUM has issued debt for general corporate purposes but in no case has any such debt been guaranteed or assumed by the Company or otherwise secured by the assets of the Company. As YUM’s debt and related interest is not directly attributable to the Company, no such amounts have been allocated to the Condensed Combined Financial Statements.
