CEO Comments

"This was a momentous year for Yum China. We successfully became an independent, publicly traded company while simultaneously improving our business performance and investing for future growth.  At year end 2016 with over 7,500 restaurants nationwide, we extended our market-leading position in China," said Micky Pant, CEO.

"For our shareholders, we exceeded our 2016 financial targets* in operating profit, restaurant margin and adjusted EBITDA. We continue to focus on our long-term growth formula: new unit development, same-store sales growth, and continued restaurant margin improvement.  Right now, our top priority is consistently delivering positive same-store sales growth.  During 2016, we continued to build a foundation for long-term growth with emphasis on product innovation, investments in refurbishing our restaurants, and focus on digital engagement with our customers.   

2016 was a ground breaking year for Yum China in Digital and Delivery. Our loyalty programs have over 80 million members between KFC and Pizza Hut and are ranked #1 in the restaurant industry worldwide in terms of number of members.  Total delivery sales reached approximately US$700 million, and in 2016, we were #1 among restaurant operators in terms of online sales in China.  Cashless payment accounted for about 30% of our company sales.

Yum China has a long and successful track record of doing business in China, and 2017 marks the 30th anniversary of the launch of KFC in China.  While we have achieved a lot in the past three decades, our growth plans give us confidence that we are well-positioned to drive strong operating performance and generate high returns for our shareholders over the long run.  We believe the majority of our restaurants in China are yet to be built."

New-Unit Development and Asset Upgrades

We believe development opportunities across China will provide us with new restaurant growth for all of our brands.  Increasing urban population, continued development of city clusters and new transportation hubs provide growth opportunities for our nationwide development team.

  • Opened 575 new restaurants for the year and 302 for the fourth quarter, driven by development of the KFC brand.
  • 96 of the new restaurants were opened in 56 new cities.
  • Remodeled 791 restaurants, focused on KFC. Over 75% of Yum China's current store portfolio has been remodeled or built in the past five years.
  • Opened first Taco Bell restaurant in Shanghai, China.
