Discontinued Operations [Abstract] |
Disposal Groups, Including Discontinued Operations, Disclosure [Text Block] | Discontinued Operations As discussed in Note 1, on October 31, 2016, the Company completed the separation of our China business. As a result of the Separation, all royalty revenues earned by us under the Master License Agreement with Yum China that were previously eliminated in consolidation are now reflected as Franchise and license fees and income in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. For the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2016, the combined KFC and Pizza Hut Divisions' Franchise and license fees and income, as a result of the Separation, increased by $64 million and $189 million, respectively. The value added tax associated with this royalty revenue increased Franchise and license expenses for the combined KFC and Pizza Hut Divisions by $4 million and $12 million for the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2016, respectively. The net increases in the KFC and Pizza Hut Divisions' Operating Profit were offset with a corresponding reduction in Income from discontinued operations such that there was no impact from the Separation on total Net income. The financial results of Yum China presented in discontinued operations reflect the results of the former China Division, which was an operating segment of the Company until the Separation, adjusted for the transactions discussed above and the inclusion of certain G&A expenses, non-cash impairment charges, refranchising gains, interest and taxes that were previously not allocated to but were related to the former China Division's historical results of operations.
