U.S. DIVISION<br />
Third Quarter<br />
Year-to-Date<br />
2009 2008 % Change 2009 2008 % Change<br />
Same-Store-Sales Growth (%) (6) +3 NM (3) +3 NM<br />
Restaurant Margin (%) 14.1 10.8 +3.3 14.0 11.9 +2.1<br />
Operating Profit ($MM) 171 146 +18 497 447 +11<br />
Operating Margin (%) 16.2 12.0 +4.2 15.5 12.3 +3.2<br />
• Same-store-sales declined 6% which included a 13% decline at Pizza Hut.<br />
• Restaurant margin improved by 3.3 points due largely to commodity cost deflation of $16<br />
million this quarter. Year-to-date commodity cost deflation has totaled $11 million. The full<br />
year benefit from commodity cost deflation is expected to be about $20 million.<br />
• Third quarter operating profit growth of 18% and operating margin improvement of 4.2 points<br />
were driven by a $16 million decline in our U.S. G&A cost structure from actions initiated in<br />
the fourth quarter of 2008. For the full year, we continue to expect G&A cost savings of at<br />
least $60 million.<br />
U.S. REFRANCHISING UPDATE<br />
In the third quarter, 98 company-owned U.S. restaurants were sold to franchisees. Year to date,<br />
we have refranchised 286 units, including 210 Pizza Huts, 50 KFCs and 26 Taco Bells. We<br />
continue to expect to refranchise 500 units in 2009. Full year proceeds from U.S. refranchising<br />
are expected to be about $175 million.<br />
