Insights

McDonald's Q2 shows solid 3.8% comp sales growth and 12% EPS increase despite facing tough comparisons, with strong international performance driving results.

McDonald's delivered a 3.8% increase in global comparable sales for Q2 2025, showing healthy growth across all segments despite cycling against a challenging prior year. The company demonstrated particular strength in international markets, with International Operated Markets up 4.0% and International Developmental Licensed Markets growing 5.6%, compared to the U.S. growth of 2.5%.

Revenue increased 5% to $6.84 billion, while systemwide sales grew 8% (6% in constant currency), reflecting McDonald's continued expansion and market penetration. The company's operating income rose 11% to $3.23 billion, though when adjusting for restructuring charges, the normalized operating income growth was 7%.

The diluted EPS of $3.14 represents a 12% year-over-year increase (10% in constant currency). Excluding the $0.05 per share restructuring charge, adjusted EPS would be $3.19, a 7% increase over the adjusted prior year figure.

The company's loyalty program is showing significant traction with approximately $33 billion in systemwide sales to loyalty members for the trailing twelve months, including around $9 billion in the current quarter. This represents a substantial portion of overall sales and indicates strong customer engagement across the 60 markets where loyalty programs operate.

McDonald's U.S. comparable sales increase was primarily driven by higher average check rather than increased traffic, suggesting pricing power but potential challenges in growing customer counts. All international markets posted positive comparable sales, with Japan highlighted as a particular strength in the Developmental Licensed Markets segment.

The company continues to invest in restructuring through its "Accelerating the Organization" initiative, which resulted in $43 million in charges this quarter but appears aimed at modernizing operations and creating future efficiencies. Free cash flow conversion remains a focus for management as they evaluate the business's ability to generate cash resources beyond core business reinvestment needs.

  • Global comparable sales increased 3.8%, with broad-based growth across all segments
  • Systemwide sales* to loyalty members across 60 loyalty markets were approximately $33 billion for the trailing twelve-month period and approximately $9 billion for the quarter

Results for 2025 included the following:

  • Pre-tax charges of $43 million, or $0.05 per share, for the quarter and $109 million, or $0.12 per share, for the six months, primarily related to restructuring charges associated with the Company's internal effort to modernize ways of working (Accelerating the Organization)

Results for 2024 included the following:

  • Net pre-tax charges of $97 million, or $0.11 per share, for the quarter and $89 million, or $0.10 per share, for the six months, primarily related to non-cash impairment charges associated with the sale of McDonald's business in South Korea
  • Pre-tax charges of $57 million, or $0.06 per share, for the quarter and $100 million, or $0.10 per share, for the six months, related to restructuring charges associated with Accelerating the Organization

Excluding the above items, operating income growth for both periods was primarily driven by higher sales-driven Franchised margins. Results for the six months were partly offset by lower Company-owned and operated margins, driven by the U.S.

THE FOLLOWING DEFINITIONS APPLY TO THESE TERMS AS USED THROUGHOUT THIS RELEASE

Constant currencyresults exclude the effects of foreign currency translation and are calculated by translating current year results at prior year average exchange rates. Management reviews and analyzes business results excluding the effect of foreign currency translation, impairment and other charges and gains, as well as material regulatory and other income tax impacts, and bases incentive compensation plans on these results because the Company believes this better represents underlying business trends.

Comparable sales and comparable guest countsare compared to the same period in the prior year and represent sales and transactions, respectively, at all restaurants, whether owned and operated by the Company or by franchisees, in operation at least thirteen months including those temporarily closed. Some of the reasons restaurants may be temporarily closed include reimaging or remodeling, rebuilding, road construction, natural disasters, pandemics and acts of war, terrorism or other hostilities. Comparable sales exclude the impact of currency translation and the sales of any market considered hyperinflationary (generally identified as those markets whose cumulative inflation rate over a three-year period exceeds 100%), which management believes more accurately reflects the underlying business trends. Comparable sales are driven by changes in guest counts and average check, the latter of which is affected by changes in pricing and product mix.

Systemwide salesinclude sales at all restaurants, whether owned and operated by the Company or by franchisees. Systemwide sales to loyalty members are comprised of all sales to customers who self-identify as a loyalty member when transacting with both Company-owned and operated and franchised restaurants. Systemwide sales to loyalty members are measured across 60 markets with loyalty programs. Systemwide sales to loyalty members represents an aggregation of the prior four quarters of sales to loyalty members active in the last 90 days of the respective quarter.While franchised sales are not recorded as revenues by the Company, management believes the information is important in understanding the Company's financial performance because these sales are the basis on which the Company calculates and records franchised revenues and are indicative of the financial health of the franchisee base. The Company's revenues consist of sales by Company-owned and operated restaurants and fees from franchised restaurants operated by conventional franchisees, developmental licensees and affiliates. Changes in Systemwide sales are primarily driven by comparable sales and net restaurant unit expansion.

Free cash flow, defined as cash provided by operations less capital expenditures, and free cash flow conversion rate, defined as free cash flow divided by net income, are measures reviewed by management in order to evaluate the Company's ability to convert net profits into cash resources, after reinvesting in the core business, that can be used to pursue opportunities to enhance shareholder value.
