Item 2.02      Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On April 20, 2016, YUM! Brands, Inc. ("YUM") issued a press release announcing financial results for the quarter ended March 19, 2016.  The Company also raised its full-year Operating Profit Growth Guidance to 12%. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

Effective January, 2016 YUM's former India Division was segmented by brand, integrated into the global KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell Divisions, and is no longer a separate operating segment. While our consolidated results were not impacted, we have restated our historical segment information for consistent presentation. This Form 8-K provides a summary of YUM's 2015 and 2014 annual and 2015 quarterly segment financial results restated as if they had been reported under our new reportable segment structure.
