Fair Value Disclosures

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2019

As of December 31, 2019 the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings and accounts payable approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of notes receivable net of allowances and lease guarantees less subsequent amortization approximates their carrying value. The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s debt obligations:



	2019				2018
	Carrying Value		Fair Value (Level 2)		Carrying Value		Fair Value (Level 2)
Securitization Notes^(a)	$	2,898	$	3,040	$	2,928	$	2,967
Subsidiary Senior Unsecured Notes^(b)	2,850		3,004		2,850		2,733
Term Loan A Facility^(b)	463		464		488		479
Term Loan B Facility^(b)	1,935		1,949		1,955		1,915
YUM Senior Unsecured Notes^(b)	2,425		2,572		1,875		1,798


(a)	We estimated the fair value of the Securitization Notes by obtaining broker quotes from two separate brokerage firms that are knowledgeable about the Company’s Securitization Notes and, at times, trade these notes. The markets in which the Securitization Notes trade are not considered active markets.


(b)	We estimated the fair value of the YUM and Subsidiary Senior Unsecured Notes, Term Loan A Facility, and Term Loan B Facility using market quotes and calculations based on market rates.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company has interest rate swaps, foreign currency contracts, an investment in Grubhub common stock and other investments, all of which are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis (See Note 12 for discussion regarding derivative instruments and Note 4 for discussion regarding our investment in Grubhub common stock). The following table presents fair values for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the measurements fall.



			Fair Value
	Consolidated Balance Sheet	Level	2019		2018
Assets
Interest Rate Swaps	Prepaid expenses and other current assets	2	$	6	$	21
Foreign Currency Contracts	Prepaid expenses and other current assets	2	—		5
Interest Rate Swaps	Other assets	2	3		29
Investment in Grubhub Common Stock	Other assets	1	137		214
Other Investments	Other assets	1	43		27

Liabilities
Interest Rate Swaps	Other liabilities and deferred credits	2	71		23
Foreign Currency Contracts	Other liabilities and deferred credits	2	—		24

The fair value of the Company’s foreign currency contracts and interest rate swaps were determined based on the present value of expected future cash flows considering the risks involved, including nonperformance risk, and using discount rates appropriate for the duration based on observable inputs. The fair value of the investment in Grubhub common stock was determined primarily based on closing market prices for the shares. The other investments primarily include investments in mutual funds, which are used to offset fluctuations for a portion of our deferred compensation liabilities and whose fair values were determined based on the closing market prices of the respective mutual funds as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements

During the year ended December 31, 2019, we recognized non-recurring fair value measurements of $7 million related to refranchising related impairment. Refranchising related impairment results from writing down the assets of restaurants or restaurant groups offered for refranchising, including certain instances where a decision has been made to refranchise restaurants that are deemed to be impaired. The fair value measurements used in our impairment evaluation were based on actual bids received from potential buyers (Level 2). The remaining net book value of these restaurants at December 31, 2019 is insignificant.

During the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we recognized non-recurring fair value measurements of $4 million and $1 million, respectively, related to restaurant-level impairment. Restaurant-level impairment charges are recorded in Other (income) expense and resulted primarily from our impairment evaluation of long-lived assets of individual restaurants that

were being operated at the time of impairment and had not been offered for refranchising. The fair value measurements used in these impairment evaluations were based on discounted cash flow estimates using unobservable inputs (Level 3). These amounts exclude fair value measurements made for assets that were subsequently disposed of prior to those respective year end dates. The remaining net book value of restaurant assets measured at fair value during the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is insignificant.
