“We delivered another strong quarter with robust same-store sales and restaurant-level margin performance. We also reached separate definitive agreements with two exceptional buyers for the Pizza Hut business, bringing our strategic review process to a close. Yum! will enter its next chapter as a more focused organization positioned to accelerate growth. As we continue to Raise the B.A.R., our priorities are to deepen consumer relevance, improve restaurant economics, bring the benefits of Byte by Yum! to more of our system and allocate capital in a way that creates sustained shareholder value. Our message is straightforward: Yum! is built for dependable growth, disciplined execution and long-term value creation.”
