Section 2 – Financial Information

Item 2.02      Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On July 16, 2014, YUM! Brands, Inc. ("YUM") issued a press release announcing financial results for the quarter ended June 14, 2014.  The Company also reaffirmed its full-year 2014 guidance of at least 20% EPS growth. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

Effective the beginning of fiscal 2014, YUM combined its YUM Restaurants International and U.S. Divisions into three new global divisions: KFC Division, Pizza Hut Division and Taco Bell Division. These three divisions will each now constitute separate reportable segments. YUM’s China and India divisions remain separate reportable segments due to their strategic importance and growth potential. While consolidated results remain unchanged, comparable prior period information has been restated for consistent presentation. This Form 8-K provides a summary of YUM’s 2010 through 2013 annual and 2013 quarterly segment financial results restated as if they had been reported under our new reportable segment structure. The 2013 annual and quarterly restated segment results were previously reported on a Form 8-K filed on March 28, 2014.

This restated segment information is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2, which is being furnished pursuant to Item 2.02, Results of Operation and Financial Condition.
