Refranchising (Gain) Loss

The Refranchising (gain) loss by reportable segment is presented below. Given the size and volatility of refranchising initiatives, our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") does not consider the impact of Refranchising (gain) loss when assessing segment performance. As such, we do not allocate such gains and losses to our segments for performance reporting purposes.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, we refranchised 144 restaurants and received $205 million in pre-tax proceeds. During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, we refranchised 121 restaurants and received $185 million in pre-tax proceeds.

A summary of Refranchising (gain) loss is as follows:

KFC U.S. Acceleration Agreement

During 2015, we reached an agreement with our KFC U.S. franchisees that gave us brand marketing control as well as an accelerated path to expanded menu offerings, improved assets and enhanced customer experience. In connection with this agreement we are investing approximately $130 million from 2015 through 2018 primarily to fund new back-of-house equipment for franchisees and to provide incentives to accelerate franchisee store remodels. Under Legacy GAAP these amounts were expensed as incurred and included $3 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2017. We recorded total pre-tax charges of $115 million, primarily as Franchise and property expenses, during the three year period ended December 31, 2017 Due to their size and unique and long-term brand building nature, as well as their non-recurring impact on KFC Division's results when expensed upfront, our CODM did not consider the impact of these investments when assessing segment performance from 2015 through 2017. As such, for these years the investments were not allocated to the KFC Division segment operating results for performance reporting purposes.

Upon adoption of Topic 606 in 2018, approximately $100 million of incentives paid to franchisees from 2015 through 2017 were capitalized, net of amortization of $19 million. These capitalized amounts are being amortized as a reduction to Franchise and property revenues over the period of expected cash flows from the franchise agreements to which the payment relates. Amortization related to franchise incentive payments that were capitalized upon the adoption of Topic 606 and franchise incentive payments that will be capitalized going forward will be allocated to KFC segment operating results as the expense is recurring and is not expected to significantly impact the comparability of results in any given period. During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, we recorded a $2 million reduction to KFC Division Franchise and property revenues related to the amortization of these franchise incentive payments.

In addition to the investments above, we agreed to fund $60 million of incremental system advertising from 2015 through 2018. During the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we incurred $2 million and $4 million, respectively, in incremental system advertising expense. We funded approximately $50 million of such advertising during the three year period ended December 31, 2017, which included $20 million during 2017. We currently expect to fund approximately $10 million in 2018. All of these advertising amounts were recorded primarily in Franchise and property expenses and have been and will continue to be included in the KFC Division segment operating results.

YUM's Strategic Transformation Initiatives

In October 2016, we announced our strategic transformation plans to drive global expansion of the KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell brands ("YUM's Strategic Transformation Initiatives") following the then anticipated separation of our China business on October 31, 2016. Major features of the Company’s strategic transformation plans involve being more focused on the development of our three brands, increasing our franchise ownership and creating a leaner, more efficient cost structure. During the quarters ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we recognized pre-tax charges of $1 million and $7 million, respectively, primarily within G&A, related to these initiatives. Due to the scope of the initiatives as well as their significance, our CODM does not consider the impact of these initiatives when assessing segment performance. As such, costs associated with the initiatives are not being allocated to any segment for performance reporting purposes.

Pizza Hut U.S. Transformation Agreement

In May 2017, we reached an agreement with Pizza Hut U.S. franchisees that will improve brand marketing alignment, accelerate enhancements in operations and technology, and that includes a permanent commitment to incremental advertising and digital and technology contributions by franchisees (the “Transformation Agreement”). In connection with the Transformation Agreement we anticipate investing approximately $90 million to upgrade restaurant equipment to improve operations, fund improvements in restaurant technology and enhance digital and ecommerce capabilities. We currently expect the majority of this investment, which will be a mix of both capital and operating investments, to be split between 2017 and 2018.

We invested $39 million related to the Transformation Agreement in 2017, which included $8 million of investments that we capitalized and $31 million that was expensed primarily as Franchise and property expenses or G&A. The $31 million expense amount included $5 million of franchisee incentive payments that under Legacy GAAP were expensed as incurred. Due to the adoption of Topic 606 in 2018, franchise incentive payments related to the Transformation Agreement, including the $5 million from 2017, are now being capitalized and being amortized as a reduction of Franchise and property revenues.

We invested $7 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2018 related to the Transformation Agreement, primarily consisting of investments that were capitalized.

Due to their unique and long-term brand-building nature as well as their non-recurring impact on Pizza Hut’s Division results, the financial impact of operating investments that are part of the Transformation Agreement are not considered by our CODM when
assessing segment performance. As a result, these operating investments are not being allocated to the Pizza Hut Division operating segment results for performance reporting purposes. Depreciation on capital investments is being allocated to Pizza Hut segment results as the expense is recurring and is not expected to significantly impact the comparability of results in any given period. For the same reasons, the amortization related to franchise incentive payments that were capitalized upon the adoption of Topic 606 and franchise incentive payments that will be capitalized going forward will be allocated to Pizza Hut segment operating results.

In addition to the investments above, we agreed to fund $37.5 million of incremental system advertising dollars from the second half of 2017 through 2018. During the quarter ended March 31, 2018, we incurred $3 million in related incremental system advertising expense. We funded approximately $25 million of such advertising during 2017, which was expensed in the third and fourth quarters of 2017. We currently expect to fund approximately $12.5 million in 2018. These advertising amounts have been and will continue to be recorded primarily in Franchise and property expenses and are included in Pizza Hut's segment operating results.

Impact of Adopting New Revenue Recognition Standards

As discussed in Note 1, we adopted Topic 606 beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. Topic 606 was applied to all contracts with customers as of January 1, 2018 and the cumulative effective of this transition was recorded as an adjustment to Accumulated deficit as of this date. As a result, the following adjustments were made to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 1, 2018:

(a)
Includes $58 million of restricted cash related to advertising cooperatives. These balances can only be used to settle obligations of the respective cooperatives.

We recorded an increase in Accounts payable and other current liabilities and Other liabilities and deferred credits of $57 million and $335 million, respectively, as part of our cumulative adjustment related to unamortized upfront franchise fees, with a corresponding $392 million increase in Accumulated deficit. We recorded increases in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other assets of $18 million and $118 million, respectively, as part of our cumulative adjustment related to unamortized franchise incentives, with a corresponding $136 million decrease in Accumulated deficit.

Deferred income taxes increased $26 million as a result of recording the tax effects of the two adjustments noted above, with a corresponding decrease to Accumulated deficit. Accumulated other comprehensive loss decreased $21 million as a result of recognizing the impact of foreign currency translation related to the three adjustments noted above, with a corresponding increase in Accumulated deficit.

The remaining adjustments to our December 31, 2017 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet are primarily a result of reclassifying the assets and liabilities of our consolidated advertising cooperates from Advertising cooperative assets, restricted and Advertising cooperative liabilities to the respective balance sheet caption to which the assets and liabilities relate.

The following tables reflect the impact of adopting Topic 606 on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 and our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2018 as well as the amounts as if the guidance that was in effect prior to adoption were applied:

Includes $4 million of franchise incentive payments related to the KFC U.S. Acceleration Agreement and the Pizza Hut U.S. Transformation Agreement that would have been expensed immediately and that we would not have allocated to the KFC Division or the Pizza Hut Division under Legacy GAAP. Upon the adoption of Topic 606, these payments have been capitalized as assets.

Upon adopting Topic 606 the timing and amount of revenue recognized for upfront franchise fees and franchise incentives changed from upfront recognition under Legacy GAAP to recognition over the term of the franchise agreement to which the fees and incentives relate. Also, under Legacy GAAP, amounts reported as Franchise contributions for advertising and other services and Franchise advertising and other services expense were presented on a net basis. Upon the adoption of Topic 606 these amounts require gross presentation in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Lastly, Legacy GAAP required that certain value-added taxes withheld and remitted on our behalf by our franchisees be reported as revenue and corresponding expense in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Upon adoption of Topic 606 these taxes are reported on a net basis as a reduction in Franchise and property revenues.

The significant impacts resulting from the adoption of Topic 606 on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2018, are consistent with those recorded as of January 1, 2018 as described previously.

Under Legacy GAAP, Cash, Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, and Restricted Cash Equivalents pertaining to advertising cooperatives that we were required to consolidate were classified within Advertising cooperative assets, restricted. Upon adoption of Topic 606 these amounts are reflected on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and changes in these balances are reported within our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The transition to Topic 606 resulted in a decrease in Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $20 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 due to the timing of spending in these cooperatives.

Investment in Grubhub

As discussed in Note 12, one of our subsidiaries entered into an investment agreement to purchase shares of Grubhub common stock. In the quarter ended March 31, 2018 we recognized income of $66 million related to the mark-to-market of this investment agreement. See Note 12 for further discussion of the investment agreement.

Non-cash Pension Adjustment

During the quarter ended March 31, 2017, as a result of the completion of a pension data review and reconciliation, we recorded a non-cash, out-of-year charge of $22 million to Other pension (income) expense to adjust our historical U.S. pension liability related to our deferred vested participants. Our CODM did not consider the impact of this charge when assessing segment performance given the number of years over which it accumulated. As such, this cost was not allocated to any of our segment operating results for performance reporting purposes.
