The comparative segment revenues for Yum! Brands, a global quick-serve restaurant company,  are as follows:

Recent Year (in millions) Prior Year  (in millions) China$   6,909 $   6,934 KFC2,948 3,193 Pizza Hut1,145 1,148 Taco Bell1,988 1,863 India115 141 Total$13,105 $13,279






a. Provide a horizontal analysis of the segment revenues using the prior year as the base year. Round whole percents to one decimal place.

b. Provide a vertical analysis of the segment revenues for both years. Round whole percents to one decimal place.

c. What conclusions can be drawn from your analyses?


Answer:
a. Horizontal analysis:
Amount Percent
China$ 6,909 $ 6,934 $ (25) –0.4%
KFC 2,948              3,193            (245)           –7.7%
Pizza Hut1,145              1,148            (3)               –0.3%
Taco Bell1,988              1,863            125            6.7%
India115                 141               (26)             –18.4%
Total revenues $13,105 $13,279 $(174) –1.3%
b. Vertical analysis:
China$ 6,909 52.7% $ 6,934 52.2%
KFC 2,948              22.5% 3,193 24.0%
Pizza Hut1,145              8.7% 1,148 8.6%
Taco Bell1,988              15.2% 1,863 14.0%
India115                 0.9% 141 1.1%
Total revenues $13,105 100.0% $13,279 99.9%
*The sum is less than 100% due to rounding errors in the percentage calculations.
c. The total revenues have declined by 1.3% between the two years. The largest 
declines occurred in the KFC (−7.7%) and India (−18.4%) segments. These 
declines more than offset the increase in the Taco Bell segment. Thus, overall, 
there was a small decline in revenue. The vertical analysis indicates that China 
represents the largest segment as a percent of revenues (52.7%), followed by 
KFC (22.5%) and Taco Bell (15.2%). The KFC segment dropped significantly as a 
percent of revenues between the two years (24.0% vs. 22.5%), while Taco Bell 

grew as a percent of total revenues between the two years (14.0% vs. 15.2%).
