Yum India aims $100mil profit by 2015

Tim Jerzyk, senior vice president for investor relations of Yum Brands Inc, the owner of Pizza Hut, KFC and Taco Bell restaurant chains, said in his presentation in Nantucket, Massachusetts that Yum India expects $100mil in profits by 2015. He said, "Yum India, by far, we see over the next 10 years, being another great opportunity for us." The company had previously said it hopes to break even by 2011 and be profitable thereafter. It had said last year that it has invested $100 million in restaurant development in India and plans to invest up to $120 million more in the next five years. Yum has over 70 KFCs and 160 Pizza Hut units in India. It recently opened its first Taco Bell outlet in March. The company expects to have a total 1,000 units by 2015. Jerzyk said India's trillion dollar economy, its $64 billion eating-out market and a young population provides tremendous opportunity for Yum to expand its footprint in the country, where it faces competition from McDonald's and Dominos Pizza. In 2006, 30% of Yum's profits came from developing markets and the rest from developed markets. This ratio is slated to change and this year the company expects half of its profit to be generated in emerging markets, Jerzyk said.
