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, 2017 (“2017 Form 10-K”). YUM! Brands, Inc. and its Subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as “YUM” or the “Company”) comprise the worldwide operations of KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell (collectively the “Concepts”). YUM has over 45,000 units in more than 140 countries and territories, of which 60% are located outside the U.S. YUM was created as an independent, publicly-owned company on October 6, 1997 via a tax-free distribution by our former parent, PepsiCo, Inc., of our Common Stock to its shareholders. References to YUM throughout these Financial Statements are made using the first person notations of “we,” “us” or “our.” As of June 30, 2018, YUM consisted of three operating segments:
• | The KFC Division which includes our worldwide operations of the KFC concept
• | The Pizza Hut Division which includes our worldwide operations of the Pizza Hut concept
• | The Taco Bell Division which includes our worldwide operations of the Taco Bell concept
YUM's fiscal year begins on January 1 and ends December 31 of each year, with each quarter comprised of three months. Our U.S. subsidiaries and certain international subsidiaries operate on a weekly periodic calendar where the first three quarters of each fiscal year consists 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. 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 2017 Form 10-K, our financial position as of June 30, 2018, our cash flows for the years to date ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 and the results of our operations and comprehensive income for the quarters and years to date ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. Our results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows 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. In January 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a standard that updates certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments. We adopted this standard beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2018. While the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our Financial Statements the standard requires our investment in Grubhub Inc. ("Grubhub") common stock, which was consummated in April 2018 (see Note 5), to be remeasured to fair value in each future reporting period with corresponding changes recorded in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. In October 2016, the FASB issued a standard that requires the recognition of the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. As required, we adopted this standard in the quarter ended March 31, 2018 and have recorded a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings. As a result, we recognized a reduction in Other assets of $30 million to write-off the unamortized tax consequences of certain historical intra-entity transfers of assets with an offsetting increase to our Accumulated deficit. In August 2017, the FASB issued a standard that refines and expands existing hedge accounting guidance. We adopted this standard beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Financial Statements. In February 2018, the FASB issued a standard that allows a reclassification to retained earnings for stranded tax effects within accumulated other comprehensive (income) loss ("AOCI") subsequent to the accounting in the fourth quarter of 2017 necessary as a result of the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. We adopted this standard during the quarter ended March 31, 2018 and reclassified stranded tax effects of $19 million from AOCI with a corresponding decrease to Accumulated deficit at the beginning of our first quarter 2018. These stranded tax effects primarily related to the remeasurement of deferred tax assets associated with pension losses within AOCI. The Company's policy is to follow the specific identification approach for releasing stranded tax effects from AOCI. From 2014 through 2017 the FASB issued standards to provide principles within a single framework for revenue recognition of transactions involving contracts with customers across all industries ("Topic 606"). We adopted these standards beginning with the quarter ended March 31, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. See Notes 2 and 5. 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 June 30, 2018. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported Net Income.
