YUM CHINA (09987.HK) Elevates Net New Shop Openings Target for This Yr

2023/09/18

As of 1H23, the number of YUM CHINA (09987.HK) shops in the mainland reached more than 13,000, up 12% YoY, and the Group is aiming to expand the number of outlets to 20,000 by 2026.

Andy Yeung, YUM CHINA's CFO, said the Group is confident about the economic outlook for the mainland, mainly due to the large economy and the growing affluence and spending power of residents in various regions.

Even though there are still challenges in the short term and consumer confidence is low, the Group is optimistic about the medium- to long-term development of the mainland, and raised its target for net new shop openings this year to between 1,400 and 1,600.

Joey Wat, YUM CHINA's CEO, noted that the price difference between big cities and rural areas is no more than 30%, which is mainly due to the difference in demand and purchasing power of consumers in different regions, which has led to adjustments in the management strategy.

She mentioned that for rural areas, the Chinese New Year and summer holidays are the most prosperous sales periods, and the sales volume is about two times higher than that of the weekdays, which offsets the low season during the weekdays.

Wat revealed that the franchisees of KFC and Pizza Hut currently account for 10% and 5% of the Group's shops respectively, and their payback time is about 2 to 3 years.

She admitted that the requirements for franchisees have been slightly relaxed in recent years, but emphasised that the Group does not only focus on the capital brought by the franchisees, but also their management ability.

The Group will provide a certain amount of training, and even if there is no 100% guarantee of substantial profits, it will still endeavour to provide a certain degree of assistance.

Yum China Holdings Inc (9987 HK)
3Q23: Earnings Missed; Softening Demand Extended Into October


Yum China’s 3Q23 results missed consensus estimates mainly due to foreign exchange impact and higher staff costs.

Management sees recovery to be non-linear, as demand softened in Sep 23 and extended into Oct 23.

According to management, 4Q23 margin may be impacted by a softer demand recovery and wage inflation.

Management kept its updated net new store opening target unchanged, and the company has completed 72-83% of the full-year target as of end-Sep 23.

YUM CHINA(9987)

Analysis:

The financial results of Yum China (9987) in 2023 surpassed the industry`s growth rate and set new records for both revenue and profits.

Total revenues were up 21% year-on-year to US$11 billion excluding F/X.

Full Year System Sales was also up 21%, attributable to 9% net new unit contribution, 7% same-store sales growth and lapping temporary closures from the pandemic in the prior year.

Adjusted Operating Profit grew 86% to US$1.1 Billion and 1,697 net new stores were opened, exceeding the full-year net new store target.

Total number of stores reached 14,644 in over 2,000 cities.

The board declared a 23% increase in cash dividend to $0.16 per share for the fourth quarter of 2023.

Yum China returned approximately US$833 million to shareholders for the full year through share repurchases and cash dividends. This stands as the highest full year return thus far in the Company`s history.

The Company plans to repurchase $1.25 billion of its common stock in 2024.

Joey Wat, CEO of Yum China, remains very positive about the vast growth opportunities in China.

Currently serving just one-third of China`s population, the Company`s ambitious goal is to extend its reach to half of the population by 2026.

Over half of its new stores are located in lower-tier cities, strategically positioned to capture the demand from long-term consumption upgrades there.

The Company is well-positioned to achieve its growth targets for 2024- 2026 and deliver excellent returns to its shareholders through increased cash dividends and stepped-up share buybacks. (I do not hold the above stock)

Strategy:
Buy-in Price: $308, Tar! get Price: $350, Cut Loss Price: $290

Yum China Holdings Inc (9987 HK)
1Q24: Earnings Beat; High Base In 2Q24


Yum China’s 1Q24 earnings beat consensus forecasts by 7% due to better G&A cost savings.

Management sees a similar high base for 2Q24, given the strong demand recovery last year and intense competition.

For 2024, the focus remains on driving traffic growth through smaller ticket size item offerings and marketing campaigns.

KFC recently developed a mini-store model (capex per store: Rmb0.5m) for store expansion
in lower-tier cities, which is expected to enhance cost efficiency.
