Yum China Reports Third Quarter 2021 Results

 

Total Revenues grew 9%. System Sales grew 1% in constant currency

Opened a record of 524 new stores

Reported $178 million Operating Profit despite Delta variant outbreak, demonstrating resiliency and agility

 

Shanghai, China (October 27, 2021) – Yum China Holdings, Inc. (the “Company” or “Yum China”) (NYSE: YUMC and HKEX: 9987) today reported unaudited results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

 

Impact of COVID-19 Outbreak and Mitigation Efforts  

 

As we described in the business update released on September 14, 2021, third quarter results were significantly impacted by the Delta variant outbreak that started in late July. This regional outbreak was the most widely spread wave since the first quarter of 2020. Several major cities were locked down, including Nanjing and Yangzhou, which are key cities for us in eastern China. Zhengzhou and Wuhan, the capital cities of Henan and Hubei provinces, respectively, were also significantly affected. In mid-September, there were also smaller regional outbreaks in Fujian and Heilongjiang provinces, in southeastern and northeastern China, respectively. Strict public health measures were implemented across the country, including the closure of many tourist locations. These actions led to fewer social activities, substantially lower travel volume, and cancelled holiday trips. According to government statistics, the restaurant industry in China was considerably impacted in August with a revenue decline of approximately 10% compared to August 2019. Despite a mild recovery, the restaurant industry’s revenue growth of approximately 2% in September compared to 2019 was the slowest since March 2021.

 

Going into the fourth quarter, strict public health measures remain in effect nationwide. The effects of COVID-19 persist, such as fewer social activities, cautious consumer spending and subdued travel volume. According to government statistics, for the seven-day National Day holiday that started on October 1, the number of travelers was down 2% compared to the same period last year and down 30% versus the corresponding period in 2019. Related travel spending was down 5% compared to 2020 and 40% compared to 2019. With latest regional outbreaks resurging across 12 provinces and rigorous preventative health measures in force across the country, we continue to expect same-store sales recovery to take time. Same-store sales are gradually recovering but remain below the prior year and pre-COVID 2019 levels, since overall dine-in volume as well as traffic at transportation hubs are still significantly impacted. We are focused on driving sales by leveraging our member base and digital channels, launching great food for both dine-in and home consumption and enhancing our hybrid delivery model.

 

Third Quarter Highlights

 

Total revenues increased 9% year over year to $2.55 billion from $2.35 billion (a 2% increase excluding foreign currency translation (“F/X”)).

 

Total system sales increased 1% year over year, with increases of 1% at both KFC and Pizza Hut, excluding F/X.

 

Same-store sales decreased 7 % year over year, with decreases of 8% at KFC and 5% at Pizza Hut, excluding F/X.

 

Opened 524 new stores during the quarter.

 

Total store count reached 11,415 as of September 30, 2021, an increase of 1,265 stores over the past year.

 

Restaurant margin was 12.2%, compared with 18.6% in the prior year period, primarily due to sales deleveraging.

 

Operating Profit decreased 68% year over year to $178 million from $556 million (a 70% decrease excluding F/X), primarily due to sales deleveraging and lapping the non-cash gain of $239 million from the re-measurement of our previously held equity interest in Suzhou KFC in the third quarter 2020.

 

Adjusted Operating Profit decreased 48% year over year to $168 million from $320 million (a 52% decrease excluding F/X).

 

Effective tax rate was 28.3%.

 

Net Income decreased 76% to $104 million from $439 million in the prior year period, primarily due to the decrease in Operating Profit and loss from our mark-to-market investment in Meituan.

Yum China Holdings, Inc. •  Shanghai, China •  Website http://ir.yumchina.com

 


 

 

Adjusted Net Income decreased 63% to $96 million from $263 million in the prior year period (a 45% decrease excluding the net loss of $32 million in the third quarter of 2021 and the net gain of $29 million in the third quarter of 2020, respectively, from our mark-to-market equity investment in Meituan; a 50% decrease if further excluding F/X).

 

Diluted EPS decreased 78% to $0.24 from $1.10 in the prior year period.

 

Adjusted Diluted EPS decreased 67% to $0.22 from $0.66 in the prior year period (a 50% decrease excluding the net loss in the third quarter of 2021 and the net gain in the third quarter of 2020, respectively, from our mark-to-market investment; a 53% decrease if further excluding F/X).

 

Results include the consolidation of Huang Ji Huang since April 2020, and Suzhou KFC since August 2020.

CEO and CFO Comments

 

Joey Wat, CEO of Yum China, commented, “The third quarter was challenging as the regional outbreaks heavily impacted the restaurant industry. I am grateful for our teams who worked nimbly and tirelessly to navigate these adverse conditions. We quickly adjusted operations, strengthened value promotions and product innovation to drive off-premise demand. Our digital channels enabled us to more quickly reach members with targeted promotions. We sustained system sales growth in the third quarter, with new unit openings more than offsetting same-store sales declines. Despite the near-term challenges, we continue to execute on the strategies we outlined in our September investor day to fortify resiliency and accelerate growth. With record openings of 524 new stores during the quarter and after a review of our current pipeline, we now expect to open over 1,700 gross new stores in 2021. We deepened our partnership with Lavazza to accelerate the growth of its footprint in China, aiming to open 1,000 stores by 2025. We are also excited to become a strategic investor in Hangzhou Catering Service Group, which is an important shareholder of the Hangzhou KFC joint venture and was instrumental in making Hangzhou one of our largest markets, to accelerate growth across our brands in Zhejiang province.”

 

Andy Yeung, CFO of Yum China, added, “Our third quarter results are in line with expectations that we indicated in the September business update. We took immediate action to manage costs and leverage technology to drive productivity. Looking ahead, we expect the near-term environment to be challenging. We expect that COVID-19, especially the Delta variant outbreaks, will continue to affect consumer behavior and impact our same-store sales recovery. Keep in mind that fourth quarter is the seasonally lowest quarter for

sales and profit margins, so small changes in sales and operations will considerably impact profitability. We expect restaurant margins in the fourth quarter and near-term to be pressured by the significant headwinds in (1) sales deleveraging impact, (2) rising commodity prices, and (3) wage inflation. Against this backdrop, we plan to continue to manage costs and stay agile. We will also continue to invest with discipline in store network expansion, supply chain, and digitalization for sustainable growth.

 

Dividends and Share Repurchases

 

The Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.12 per share on Yum China’s common stock, payable as of the close of business on December 16, 2021 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 24, 2021.

 

During the third quarter, we repurchased approximately 0.57 million shares of Yum China common stock for $33.6 million at an average price of $58.56 per share. As of September 30, 2021, approximately $658 million remained available for future share repurchases under the current authorization.

 

Digital and Delivery

 

The KFC and Pizza Hut loyalty programs exceeded 350 million members combined as of quarter-end. Member sales accounted for approximately 60% of system sales in the third quarter of 2021.

 

Delivery contributed approximately 34% of KFC and Pizza Hut’s Company sales in the third quarter of 2021, an increase of approximately six percentage points from the prior year period as consumers remain cautious about dine-in.

 

Digital orders, including delivery, mobile orders and kiosk orders, accounted for approximately 87% of KFC and Pizza Hut’s Company sales in the third quarter of 2021.

Restaurant Margin

 

Restaurant margin was 12.2% in the third quarter of 2021, compared with 18.6% in the prior year period, primarily attributable to sales deleveraging, stepped-up promotions, wage inflation, increased rider cost associated with rising delivery volume, and lower temporary relief provided by landlords and government agencies. The benefit of favorable commodity prices in the third quarter of 2021 was partially offset by higher cost associated with the phase-out of certain plastic packaging and other packaging upgrades.

2021 Outlook

 

We are increasing gross new stores target to over 1,700, compared to the previous target of 1,300, primarily due to the acceleration of KFC and Pizza Hut store expansion.

 

We maintain the capital expenditures target of approximately $700-800 million, benefiting from our ongoing efforts to reduce capital expenditures per new store.

 

Other Updates

 

In September 2021, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a 28% equity interest in Hangzhou Catering Service Group (“Hangzhou Catering”) for total cash consideration of approximately $250 million. Hangzhou Catering holds a 45% equity interest in the Hangzhou KFC joint venture (“Hangzhou KFC”), of which the Company currently holds a 47% equity interest. We expect to complete the acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2021, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Upon closing, the Company will control and consolidate Hangzhou KFC, which operates over 700 KFC stores in and around Hangzhou, with an approximately 60% equity interest, directly and indirectly. In addition to its holding in Hangzhou KFC, Hangzhou Catering operates approximately 60 Chinese dining restaurants under four time-honored brands (Zhi Wei Guan, Hangzhou Restaurant, Kui Yuan Guan and Tian Xiang Lou) and a high-growth food processing business. With this acquisition, Yum China expects to deepen the partnership with Hangzhou Catering and its key shareholder, which has a large commercial real estate portfolio in the region, in the areas of product innovations, retail product collaborations and accelerating store expansion across our brands in Zhejiang province.

 

In September 2021, Yum China and Luigi Lavazza S.p.A. (“Lavazza”) entered into agreements for the previously formed joint venture and announced plans to accelerate the expansion of Lavazza stores in China, aiming to open 1,000 stores by 2025. Together, an initial funding of $200 million will be injected into the joint venture for its future growth. The joint venture is also expected to be Lavazza’s exclusive distributor in mainland China to introduce more products from Lavazza’s global portfolio. Upon execution of these agreements in September, Yum China consolidates the joint venture results with its 65% equity interest.

In this press release:

 

The Company provides certain percentage changes excluding the impact of foreign currency translation (“F/X”). These amounts are derived by translating current year results at prior year average exchange rates. We believe the elimination of the F/X impact provides better year-to-year comparability without the distortion of foreign currency fluctuations.

 

System sales growth reflects the results of all restaurants regardless of ownership, including Company-owned, franchise and unconsolidated affiliate restaurants that operate our restaurant concepts, except for non-Company-owned restaurants for which we do not receive a sales-based royalty. Sales of franchise and unconsolidated affiliate restaurants typically generate ongoing franchise fees for the Company at an average rate of approximately 6% of system sales. Franchise and unconsolidated affiliate restaurant sales are not included in Company sales in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income; however, the franchise fees are included in the Company’s revenues. We believe system sales growth is useful to investors as a significant indicator of the overall strength of our business as it incorporates all of our revenue drivers, Company and franchise same-store sales as well as net unit growth.

 

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company revised its definition of same-store sales growth to represent the estimated percentage change in sales of food of all restaurants in the Company system that have been open prior to the first day of our prior fiscal year, excluding the period during which stores are temporarily closed. We refer to these as our "base" stores. Previously, same-store sales growth represented the estimated percentage change in sales of all restaurants in the Company system that have been open for one year or more, including stores temporarily closed, and the base stores changed on a rolling basis from month to month. This revision was made to align with how management measures performance internally and focuses on trends of a more stable base of stores.

 

Company sales represent revenues from Company-owned restaurants. Company Restaurant profit (“Restaurant profit”) is defined as Company sales less expenses incurred directly by our Company-owned restaurants in generating Company sales. Company restaurant margin percentage is defined as Restaurant profit divided by Company sales.

Reconciliation of Reported GAAP Results to Non-GAAP Adjusted Measures

(in millions, except per share data)

(unaudited)

 

In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) in this press release, the Company provides non-GAAP measures adjusted for Special Items, which include Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Earnings Per Common Share ("EPS"), Adjusted Effective Tax Rate and Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as net income including noncontrolling interests adjusted for income tax, interest income, net, investment gain or loss, certain non-cash expenses, consisting of depreciation and amortization as well as store impairment charges, and Special Items.

 

The following table set forth the reconciliation of the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP adjusted financial measures.

In the quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, as a result of the consolidation of the Lavazza joint venture and Suzhou KFC, the Company recognized a gain of $10 million and $239 million, respectively, from the re-measurement of our previously held equity interest at fair value. The re-measurement gains were not allocated to any segment for performance reporting purposes.

(2)

In February 2020, the Company granted Partner PSU Awards to select employees who were deemed critical to the Company’s execution of its strategic operating plan. These PSU awards will only vest if threshold performance goals are achieved over a four-year performance period, with the payout ranging from 0% to 200% of the target number of shares subject to the PSU awards. Partner PSU Awards were granted to address increased competition for executive talent, motivate transformational performance and encourage management retention. Given the unique nature of these grants, the Compensation Committee does not intend to grant similar, special grants to the same employees during the performance period. The impact from these special awards is excluded from metrics that management uses to assess the Company’s performance. The Company recognized share-based compensation cost of nil and $7 million associated with the Partner PSU Awards for the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $3 million and $5 million for the quarter and year to date ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

(3)

In the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company derecognized a $3 million indemnification asset previously recorded for the Daojia acquisition as the indemnification right expired pursuant to the purchase agreement. The amount was included in Other income, net, but was not allocated to any segment for performance reporting purposes.

(4)

The tax expense was determined based upon the nature, as well as the jurisdiction, of each Special Item at the applicable tax rate.

The Company excludes impact from Special Items for the purpose of evaluating performance internally. Special Items are not included in any of our segment results. In addition, the Company provides Adjusted EBITDA because we believe that investors and analysts may find it useful in measuring operating performance without regard to items such as income tax, interest income, net, investment gain or loss, depreciation and amortization, store impairment charges, and Special Items. Store impairment charges included as an adjustment item in Adjusted EBITDA primarily resulted from our semi-annual impairment evaluation of long-lived assets of individual restaurants, and additional impairment evaluation whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. If these restaurant-level assets were not impaired, depreciation of the assets would have been recorded and included in EBITDA. Therefore, store impairment charges were a non-cash item similar to depreciation and amortization of our long-lived assets of restaurants. The Company believes that investors and analyst may find it useful in measuring operating performance without regard to such non-cash item.

 

These adjusted measures are not intended to replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP.  Rather, the Company believes that the presentation of these adjusted measures provides additional information to investors to facilitate the comparison of past and present results, excluding those items that the Company does not believe are indicative of our ongoing operations due to their nature.

The above tables reconcile segment information, which is based on management responsibility, with our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.  

 

(1)

Amounts have not been allocated to any segment for purpose of making operating decision or assessing financial performance as the transactions are deemed corporate revenues and expenses in nature.

(2)

Primarily includes revenues and associated expenses of transactions with franchisees and unconsolidated affiliates derived from the Company’s central procurement model whereby the Company centrally purchases substantially all food and paper products from suppliers and then sells and delivers to KFC and Pizza Hut restaurants, including franchisees and unconsolidated affiliates.
