DAVID GIBBS COMMENTS

David Gibbs, CEO, said, "Our broad-based momentum continued in the second quarter with system sales growth of 13% owing to 9% same-store sales growth and 6% unit growth. KFC, our largest division, led the quarter with an astounding 19% system sales growth. An impressive 1,025 gross new units this quarter and nearly 30% digital sales growth contributed to our robust system sales growth. I remain confident we are well positioned to thrive in any consumer spending environment given the broad consumer appeal of our iconic brands, including our craveable products, compelling value and easy experiences. With our strong year-to-date results and continued momentum, we expect to deliver full year 2023 results well above our long-term growth algorithm for system sales and core operating profit growth.”

SECOND-QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

  • Worldwide system sales grew 13%, excluding foreign currency translation, with KFC at 19%, Taco Bell at 7% and Pizza Hut 7%.
  • Added 1,025 gross new units.
  • Record digital sales of $7 billion, with digital mix exceeding 45%.
  • GAAP operating profit grew 4% and core operating profit grew 12%.
  • Foreign currency translation unfavorably impacted divisional operating profit by $17 million.

System sales growth figures exclude foreign currency translation ("F/X") and core operating profit growth figures exclude F/X and Special Items. Special Items are not allocated to any segment and therefore only impact worldwide GAAP results.

Digital system sales includes all transactions where consumers at system restaurants utilize ordering interaction that is primarily facilitated by automated technology.
