- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FINANCIAL COMMENTS (UNAUDITED) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in the Company's 2000 Annual Report to Shareholders. In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001 do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for the full year. The results of operations of restaurant businesses purchased and sold were not material to the condensed consolidated financial statements for periods prior to purchase and sale. Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income consists of net income, foreign currency translation adjustments and net unrealized gains and losses on cash flow hedges and totaled $447.8 million and $421.9 million for the second quarter of 2001 and 2000, respectively, and $481.1 million and $756.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Per Common Share Information Diluted net income per common share is calculated using net income divided by diluted weighted-average shares. Diluted weighted-average shares include weighted average shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of stock options, calculated using the treasury stock method, of 21.4 million shares and 38.4 million shares for the second quarter of 2001 and 2000, respectively, and 22.7 million shares and 38.9 million shares for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Common Equity Put Options At June 30, 2001, 17.5 million of common equity put options were outstanding, of which 3.3 million were sold in the second quarter 2001. The options expire at various dates through May 2002, at exercise prices between $28.74 and $32.26. The $537.5 million total exercise price of the options outstanding was classified in common equity put options at June 30, 2001 and the related offset was recorded in common stock in treasury, net of premiums received. New Accounting Pronouncements In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations", and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill (and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives) will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statements. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The Company will apply the new rules on accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets beginning January 1, 2002. Application of the nonamortization provisions of the Statement is expected to result in an increase in net income of approximately $30 million ($0.02 per share) per year. The Company will perform the first of required impairment tests of goodwill as of January 1, 2002, and management does not anticipate that the result of this test will have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. 6

CONSOLIDATED OPERATING RESULTS The Company operates in the food service industry and primarily operates quick- service restaurant businesses under the McDonald's brand. To capture additional meal occasions, the Company also operates other restaurant concepts: Aroma Cafe, Boston Market, Chipotle Mexican Grill and Donatos Pizza. Collectively these businesses are referred to as "Partner Brands". In addition, McDonald's has a minority ownership in Pret A Manger. The following table presents the growth rates for reported results and the results on a constant currency basis for the six months and quarter ended June 30, 2001. Information on a constant currency basis excludes the effect of foreign currency translation on reported results, except for hyperinflationary economies, such as Russia, whose functional currency is the U.S. Dollar. <TABLE> <CAPTION> =============================================================================================================== Key highlights - Consolidated Percent Dollars in millions, except per common share data Increase/(Decrease) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As Constant Six months ended June 30 2001 2000 Reported Currency* - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> Systemwide sales $19,888.5 $19,744.3 1 5 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total revenues 7,219.2 6,904.4 5 9 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating income 1,467.7 1,644.9 (11) (7) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net income 819.2 976.8 (16) (12) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net income per common share - diluted .62 .71 (13) (8) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quarters ended June 30 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Systemwide sales $10,238.8 $10,237.6 - 4 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total revenues 3,707.5 3,560.6 4 8 - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operating income 772.5 876.3 (12) (8) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net income 440.9 525.9 (16) (13) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net income per common share - diluted .34 .39 (13) (10) =============================================================================================================== </TABLE> * Information in constant currencies excludes the effect of foreign currency translation on reported results, except for hyperinflationary economies, such as Russia, whose functional currency is the U.S. Dollar. Impact of Foreign Currencies on Reported Results While changing foreign currencies affect reported results, McDonald's lessens exposures, where practical, by financing in local currencies, hedging certain foreign-denominated cash flows and by purchasing goods and services in local currencies. Reported results for the six months and quarter were negatively affected by foreign currency translation primarily due to the weaker Euro, British Pound, Japanese Yen, Australian Dollar and the Brazilian Real. Systemwide Sales and Revenues Systemwide sales represent sales by Company-operated, franchised and affiliated restaurants. Total revenues include sales by Company-operated restaurants and fees from restaurants operated by franchisees and affiliates. These fees include rent, service fees and royalties that are based on a percent of sales, with specified minimum payments along with initial fees. On a global basis, the increases in sales and revenues for the six months and quarter were primarily due to restaurant expansion and the acquisition of Boston Market in the second quarter 2000, partly offset by negative comparable sales. Foreign currency translation had a negative effect on the growth rates for both Systemwide sales and revenues for the six months and quarter. On a constant currency basis, revenues increased at a higher rate than sales for both periods primarily due to the acquisition of Boston Market restaurants, which are all Company-operated, and an increase in the royalty percent received from our Japanese affiliate, effective January 1, 2001. 9

In 2000, Systemwide sales for Partner Brands were $159.2 million for the six months and $111.8 million for the quarter. n/a Not applicable U.S. sales increased 2% for the six months and were flat for the quarter. The growth for the six months was due to expansion, partly offset by negative comparable sales. Both periods were negatively impacted by the difficult comparison with the successful June 2000 Teenie Beanie Babies promotion. In Europe, Asia/Pacific and Latin America, constant currency sales increased for the six months and quarter due to expansion, partly offset by negative comparable sales. In Europe, France and the U.K. were primary contributors to the sales growth for the quarter and six months. Also, the Netherlands and Russia delivered strong performances in both periods. Comparable sales continued to be affected by consumer confidence issues regarding the European beef supply in certain markets. Sales trends are improving in several markets, most notably France, which had positive comparable sales in each month from March through June. We expect the impact from the concerns regarding European beef will continue to lessen as the year progresses. In Asia/Pacific, the six months and quarter benefited from positive comparable sales in China and strong results in several Southeast Asia markets. Japan also contributed significantly to the increases for both periods. Weak consumer spending in Australia, partly due to the goods and services tax introduced in July 2000, continued to negatively impact sales growth. As we pass the anniversary of the introduction of the tax, our comparisons become easier; however, consumer spending remains weak in Australia. In Latin America, expansion and positive comparable sales in Mexico for the six months and quarter and in Brazil for the six months were the primary contributors to the sales increases. Weak consumer spending continued to negatively affect most markets in this segment. In the Other segment, the increases for the six months and quarter were primarily driven by Canada and the Partner Brands. 10
Combined Operating Margins The following combined operating margin information represents margins for McDonald's restaurant business only. <TABLE> <CAPTION> Combined operating margins Six months ended Quarters ended June 30 June 30 ----------------------------------------- <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> 2001 2000 2001 2000 ----------------------------------------- Dollars in millions - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Company-operated $ 745.3 $ 831.5 $ 386.0 $ 428.2 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Franchised 1,471.2 1,493.3 771.0 783.6 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Combined operating margins $2,216.5 $2,324.8 $1,157.0 $1,211.8 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Percent of sales/revenues - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Company-operated 15.2% 17.0% 15.4% 17.3% - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Franchised 78.8 79.4 79.6 80.1 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- </TABLE> In constant currencies, combined operating margin dollars decreased by $25.4 million for the six months and $12.4 million for the quarter; a 1% decline for both periods. The U.S. and Europe segments accounted for over 80% of the combined margin dollars in both periods. As a percent of sales, consolidated Company-operated margins decreased for the six months and quarter. Food & paper costs, payroll costs and occupancy & other operating expenses all increased as a percent of sales for both periods. In the U.S., Company-operated margins decreased as a percent of sales for both periods. As a percent of sales, food & paper costs decreased while payroll costs increased for both periods. Occupancy & other operating expenses were flat for the six months and increased for the quarter. In each of the remaining segments, Company-operated margins decreased as a percent of sales for both periods. In Europe and Latin America, the decline was primarily due to negative comparable sales and higher food costs. In addition, Europe experienced higher labor costs. Asia/Pacific's Company-operated margin percent decreased primarily due to negative comparable sales and higher labor costs for the six months and higher food & paper costs and occupancy & other operating expenses for the quarter. Franchised margins as a percent of applicable revenues in the U.S., Europe and Latin America decreased for the six months and quarter, partly due to negative comparable sales for both periods. In addition, the decreases in Europe for the six months and Latin America for both periods were partly due to temporary rent assistance provided to franchisees in certain markets. The franchised margin percent in Asia/Pacific increased for both periods primarily due to an increase in the royalty percent received from our Japanese affiliate. Franchised margins as a percent of revenues in all segments were also negatively impacted by higher occupancy costs as a result of our strategy to lease more sites. By leasing a higher proportion of new sites, we have reduced initial capital requirements. However, as anticipated, this practice reduces franchised margins because the financing costs implicit in the lease are included in occupancy expense, whereas for owned sites, financing costs are reflected in interest expense. Selling, General & Administrative Expenses Selling, general & administrative expenses increased 5% for the six months and quarter. The increases were primarily due to the acquisition of Boston Market and increased spending on future store technology improvements, partly offset by weaker foreign currencies. Excluding Partner Brands, selling, general & administrative expenses increased 2% for the six months and 3% for the quarter. 11
Other Operating Income, net Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates decreased for both periods, primarily due to the increase in Japan's royalty expense and a weaker Japanese Yen and, for the six months, weaker results in Japan. Although the increase in royalty expense reduced McDonald's equity in earnings for Japan, it was more than offset by the royalty benefit McDonald's received in franchised revenues. Other expense for the second quarter included a $24 million asset impairment charge in Turkey due to our assessment of the ongoing impact of significant currency devaluation on our business. For the six months, other expense also included the write-off of certain technology costs and a gain on the sale of real estate in Singapore. As previously disclosed in our July 24th, 2001 Form 8K, we are in the process of reviewing approximately 250 underperforming restaurants for possible closing, which are primarily located in certain emerging markets. We expect this will result in charges to other operating expense in the second half of the year. <TABLE> <CAPTION> Other operating income, net Six months ended Quarters ended June 30 June 30 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> Dollars in millions 2001 2000 2001 2000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gains on sales of restaurant businesses $ 46.3 $ 37.9 $ 31.0 $22.3 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates 37.1 59.9 25.2 33.5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other expense (42.7) (17.8) (37.1) (5.1) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total $ 40.7 $ 80.0 $ 19.1 $50.7 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- </TABLE> Operating Income Consolidated operating income decreased $113.3 million, or 7%, for the six months and $70.2 million, or 8%, for the quarter, in constant currencies.

U.S. operating income increased $7.6 million, or 1%, for the six months, while decreasing $6.4 million, or 1%, for the quarter. The increase for the six months was due to higher combined operating margin dollars and other operating income, partly offset by higher selling, general & administrative expenses. The decrease for the quarter was mainly due to lower combined operating margin dollars and higher selling, general & administrative expenses, partly offset by higher other operating income. Europe's operating income decreased 9% for the six months and 5% for the quarter in constant currencies. Driving this segment's improved performance over the first quarter was significant improvement in France's results, as well as strong results in the Netherlands and Russia. However, operating income continued to be negatively affected by the decline in consumer confidence regarding the safety of the European beef supply in certain markets. Operating income in Asia/Pacific increased 5% for the six months and 2% for the quarter in constant currencies. In both periods, this segment benefited from a strong performance in China and an increase in the royalty percent received from Japan. In addition, a gain on the sale of real estate in Singapore contributed significantly to the increase for the six months. Latin America's operating income decreased 32% for the six months and 37% for the quarter in constant currencies. Both periods were negatively impacted by the continuing difficult economic conditions experienced by most markets in the region. In the Other segment, the results for both periods were impacted by the asset impairment charge in Turkey, driven by the recent currency devaluation. INTEREST, NONOPERATING (INCOME) EXPENSE AND INCOME TAXES For both periods, higher interest expense was primarily due to higher average debt levels, partly offset by lower average interest rates and weaker foreign currencies. The higher average debt levels were a result of the Company using its available credit capacity to repurchase shares of its common stock. Nonoperating (income) expense for the six months included lower foreign currency translation losses, while the quarter included lower foreign currency translation gains. In addition, nonoperating expense included the first quarter write-off of a financing receivable from a Latin American supplier and minority interest expense related to the sale of real estate in Singapore. Also, second quarter 2000 included a gain related to the sale of a partial ownership interest in a majority-owned subsidiary outside the U.S. McDonald's Japan, our largest market in the Asia/Pacific segment, had an initial public offering (IPO) on July 26, 2001. After the IPO, McDonald's retained 50% ownership in McDonald's Japan. Our partner, Den Fujita continues to actively manage the business. He and his family now own approximately 26%. As a result of this transaction, McDonald's will record a nonoperating gain of approximately $130 million in third quarter 2001, to reflect an increase in the carrying value of our investment, as a result of the cash proceeds to McDonald's Japan from the IPO. The effective income tax rate was 32.3% and 32.6% for the six months and quarter 2001, respectively. The 2000 effective tax rate was 32.0% for both periods. The increase in the income tax rate in 2001 was primarily the result of the Turkey asset impairment charge, which could not be tax-effected for financial reporting purposes. WEIGHTED AVERAGE SHARES Weighted average shares outstanding for the six months and quarter were lower compared with the prior year due to shares repurchased. In addition, outstanding stock options had a less dilutive effect than in the prior year. During the first six months of 2001, the Company repurchased 24.4 million shares of its common stock for approximately $738 million. EARNINGS PER SHARE Diluted net income per common share was 62 cents for the six months and 34 cents for the quarter (65 cents and 35 cents in constant currencies, respectively). As previously disclosed in our July 24th, 2001 Form 8K, we expect relatively flat constant currency earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2001. CASH FLOWS Cash provided by operations for the six months totaled $1,083.4 million and exceeded capital expenditures. This amount was less than in 2000, primarily due to lower net income and changes in various working capital items in international markets. Cash provided by operations, together with other sources of cash such as borrowings, was used primarily for capital expenditures, share repurchases and debt repayments. Capital expenditures decreased 3% as expenditures related to McDonald's restaurant business declined 9%, partly offset by higher expenditures related to Partner Brands. The Company expects to add about 1,500 McDonald's restaurants this year, as well as add restaurants under our Partner Brands. Any closings resulting from the review of the 250 underperforming restaurants are not reflected in these expected net restaurant additions. 13
The Company believes that buying back its stock enhances shareholder value. Therefore, the Company purchased approximately $738 million, or 24.4 million shares of its common stock in the first six months of 2001. This brought cumulative purchases to $4.0 billion, or 115.5 million shares under the Company's three-year, $4.5 billion share repurchase program. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations", and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill (and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives) will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statements. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The Company will apply the new rules on accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets beginning January 1, 2002. Application of the nonamortization provisions of the Statement is expected to result in an increase in net income of approximately $30 million ($0.02 per share) per year. The Company will perform the first of required impairment tests of goodwill as of January 1, 2002, and management does not anticipate that the result of this test will have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. EURO CONVERSION Twelve member countries of the European Union have established fixed conversion rates between their existing currencies ("legacy currencies") and one common currency, the Euro. The Euro is traded on currency exchanges and may be used in certain transactions, such as electronic payments. Beginning in January 2002, new Euro-denominated notes and coins will be issued, and legacy currencies will be withdrawn from circulation. The Company uses foreign-denominated debt and derivatives to meet its financing requirements and to reduce its foreign currency risks and certain of these financial instruments are denominated in Euro. The conversion to the Euro has eliminated currency exchange rate risk for transactions between the member countries, which for the Company, primarily consist of payments to suppliers. The Company has restaurants located in all member countries and has been preparing for the introduction of the Euro for the past several years. The Company is currently addressing the issues involved with the new currency, which include converting information technology systems, recalculating currency risk, recalibrating derivatives and other financial instruments and revising processes for preparing accounting and taxation records. Based on the work to date, the Company does not believe the Euro conversion will have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Certain forward-looking statements are included in this report. They use such words as "may," "will," "expect," "believe," "plan" and other similar terminology. These statements reflect management's current expectations regarding future events and operating performance and speak only as of the date of this report.

The foregoing list of important factors is not exclusive. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by law. 14
