Yum! Brands is reshaping its portfolio by agreeing to sell its global Pizza Hut business (excluding mainland China) to Toppings TopCo for $1.488 billion in cash, plus up to $75 million in contingent earn-out payments if performance targets are met between 2027 and 2029.
Separately, Yum! Brands agreed to sell its Pizza Hut business in the People’s Republic of China to Yum China for $1.2 billion in cash, alongside long-term KFC and Taco Bell licensing arrangements. The company plans to use net after-tax proceeds in line with its capital allocation strategy, including a new $4.0 billion share repurchase authorization through June 30, 2028, in addition to about $400 million remaining under its existing program.
Yum! Brands plans a major portfolio shift by entering definitive agreements to sell its Pizza Hut business for $2.7 billion in two transactions. Pizza Hut outside Mainland China will be sold to LongRange Capital for approximately $1.5 billion with an additional potential earn-out of $75 million by 2030, while Pizza Hut in Mainland China will be sold to Yum China for approximately $1.2 billion. Yum! expects about $2.3 billion of net proceeds after taxes, adjustments and fees, and anticipates one-time separation expenses of around $85 million during the remainder of 2026. The Board also approved an incremental $4 billion share repurchase authorization, with proceeds to be used under the company’s capital allocation strategy. Yum! will keep providing its Byte by Yum! technology platform and certain transition services to Pizza Hut Ex-China and expects both deals to close in the third quarter of 2026, subject to customary approvals, after which it will stop reporting a Pizza Hut division.
