SEGMENT

Company Operated Restaurant Revenue

Food and beverage sales recognized by restaurants that McDonald's owns and operates. Unlike franchised revenue, McDonald's records the full customer sale here and also bears the restaurant's food, labor, occupancy and other operating costs.

SEGMENT

Franchised Restaurant Revenue

Rent, royalties and other fees McDonald's earns from franchised restaurants rather than the restaurants' full customer sales. This asset-light revenue is generally tied to franchisee sales and carries a different margin profile from company-operated restaurant sales.

Global Comparable Sales Growth

Year-over-year change in constant-currency sales at McDonald's restaurants open at least 13 months, including both company-operated and franchised locations and restaurants temporarily closed. It excludes sales from hyperinflationary markets and is driven by guest counts and average check, so it is not the growth rate of McDonald's reported revenue.

SEGMENT

International Developmental Licensed Markets And Corporate Operating Income

Operating income from McDonald's International Developmental Licensed Markets and Corporate segment. The segment combines nearly fully franchised developmental-license and affiliate markets, including equity investments in China and Japan, with corporate activities, so it is not solely the profit of overseas restaurants.

Systemwide Sales Growth

Year-over-year growth in sales at all McDonald's restaurants, including sales collected by franchisees as well as company-operated locations.

United States Operating Income

Operating income from McDonald's U.S. segment, its largest market and approximately 95% franchised by restaurant count. The measure reflects the economics of royalties, rent and company-operated restaurants, but not the full sales or profit retained by franchisees.

United States Revenue

McDonald's U.S. revenue from franchised restaurants and company-operated restaurant sales. It excludes the full customer sales retained by U.S. franchisees, so it is much smaller than U.S. systemwide restaurant sales.
