• | Worldwide system sales excluding foreign currency translation declined (3)%, with KFC at (2)% and Pizza Hut at (9)%, offset by Taco Bell at 4%. |
• | We opened 65 net units and acquired 276 Habit Burger Grill units for 4% net unit growth. |
• | We recorded $22 million of pre-tax investment expense related to the change in fair value of our investment in Grubhub, which resulted in a negative ($0.06) impact in EPS on the quarter. When coupled with $20 million of pre-tax investment expense recorded in the first-quarter of 2019, which resulted in a negative ($0.05) impact to EPS, our Grubhub investment unfavorably impacted year-over-year EPS growth by ($0.01). |
• | Foreign currency translation unfavorably impacted divisional operating profit by $6 million. |

• | Taco Bell Division opened 55 gross new restaurants in 9 countries. |
• | Operating margin increased 0.7 percentage points driven by lower G&A and same-store sales growth. |
• | Disclosures pertaining to outstanding debt in our Restricted Group capital structure will be provided at the time of the filing of the first-quarter Form 10-Q. |
• | On March 18, 2020 we acquired The Habit Restaurants, Inc. (“Habit”) for total cash consideration of $408 million, net of cash acquired. We have reflected the ongoing results of Habit’s operations from March 18, 2020 through March 31, 2020 in our financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. These ongoing results had an insignificant impact on our Core Operating Profit and EPS before Special Items. Additionally, we have included the system sales of Habit for the period from March 18, 2020 through March 31, 2020 in our consolidated system sales and reflected the Habit’s same-store sales results for this same period in our consolidated same-store sales results for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. Neither our consolidated system sales growth nor our same-store sales results were significantly impacted by the inclusion of Habit. |
◦ | For the first-quarter and for informational purposes only, Habit had a same-store sales decline of 9% for the period January 1, 2020 through March 31, 2020. |
• | As a result of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on Habit’s results through March 31, 2020 as well as general market conditions, we have recorded an after-tax impairment charge related to the goodwill arising from the preliminary purchase price allocation associated with our Habit acquisition of $107 million. We have reflected this impairment as a Special Item, resulting in a Special Item EPS charge of approximately $0.35. |
• | On March 24, 2020, we borrowed $525 million under the Revolving Facility as a precautionary measure in order to preserve financial flexibility in light of current uncertainty in the global markets resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. This borrowing, together with $425 million borrowed under the Revolving Facility on March 18, 2020 to fund amounts associated with the acquisition of Habit, resulted in an aggregate of $950 million outstanding under the Revolving Facility as of March 31, 2020. |
• | On March 24, 2020, we announced a suspension of our previously announced share repurchase program, pursuant to which the Board of Directors authorized repurchases up to $2 billion of common stock through June 30, 2021. |
• | On April 1, 2020, subsequent to the end of our first-quarter, we issued $600 million of Senior Unsecured Notes. Proceeds from the Notes offering will be used to pay the fees and expenses of the offering and for general corporate purposes. |

(a) | Amounts presented as of and for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 are preliminary. |
(b) | We have reflected as Special Items those refranchising gains and losses that were recorded in connection with our previously announced plans to have at least 98% franchise restaurant ownership by the end of 2018. As such, refranchising gains and losses recorded during the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 as Special Items primarily include true-ups to refranchising gains and losses recorded prior to December 31, 2018. |
(c) | During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, we recorded Special Item charges of $6 million related to the acquisition and integration of The Habit Restaurants, Inc. ("Habit"). |
(d) | On March 18, 2020 we acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Habit for total cash consideration of $408 million, net of cash acquired. We have reflected the ongoing results of Habit's operations from March 18, 2020 through March 31, 2020 in our financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. During the first-quarter of 2020 the operation of substantially all Habit restaurants was impacted by government recommendations and mandates arising from containment and mitigation measures related to the COVID-19 global pandemic. As a result of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on Habit’s results through March 31, 2020 as well as general market conditions, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $139 million to Other (income) expense, which has been reflected as a Special Item. We have also reflected the tax benefit of this impairment charge of $32 million as a Special Item. |
(e) | Tax Expense on Special Items was determined based upon the impact of the nature, as well as the jurisdiction of the respective individual components within Special Items. |
