Yum! Investors
Results for 2008 once again affirmed our consistent record of success with 14 percent Earnings Per Share (EPS) growth, which marks the seventh straight year we delivered at least 13% growth and exceeded our 10% EPS growth target. For the full year 2008, we generated 3% worldwide same-store-sales growth and opened 1,495 new restaurants outside the U.S. We also returned $2 billion to our shareholders through our dividend and share repurchase programs. Importantly, we continue to be an industry leader in Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) and our 2008 performance was an all-time high of 20%.
Overall, you can expect that in 2009, Yum! Brands will once again prove we are not your ordinary restaurant company and will continue to WIN BIG around the globe!
