Note 14 – Segment Reporting

 

We have two reportable segments: KFC and Pizza Hut. Our non-reportable operating segments, including the operations of Lavazza, Huang Ji Huang, Little Sheep, Taco Bell and our delivery operating segment, are combined and referred to as All Other Segments, as these operating segments are insignificant both individually and in the aggregate. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the chief executive officer, who reviews the financial information of each operating segment when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing the performance of the segment.

(a)
Amounts have not been allocated to any segment for performance reporting purposes.
(b)
Amounts from corporate and unallocated primarily include revenues and associated expenses of transactions with franchisees derived from the Company’s central procurement model whereby the Company centrally purchases substantially all food and paper products from suppliers then sells and delivers to KFC and Pizza Hut restaurants, including franchisees. Amounts have not been allocated to any segment for purposes of making operating decisions or assessing financial performance as the transactions are deemed corporate revenues and expenses in nature.
(c)
Primarily includes revenues and associated costs generated from the delivery services that were provided to our Company-owned restaurants.
(d)
Primarily includes store closure impairment charges and restaurant-level impairment charges resulting from our semi-annual impairment evaluation.
(e)
Increase in total assets of Pizza Hut segment primarily results from the Pizza Hut Acquisition. Refer to Note 3 for detail.
(f)
Primarily includes cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, long-term bank deposits and notes, equity investments, and inventories that are centrally managed and PP&E that are not specifically identifiable within each segment.

 

As substantially all of the Company’s revenue is derived from the PRC and substantially all of the Company’s long-lived assets are located in the PRC, no geographical information is presented. In addition, revenue derived from and long-lived assets located in the U.S., the Company’s country of domicile, are immaterial.
