SUMMARY COMMENTARY


Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jack M. Greenberg said, “McDonald’s reported earnings per share of 42 cents for the quarter, in line with previous guidance. These results include a $137 million after-tax gain related to the initial public offering of McDonald’s Japan and after-tax charges of about $84 million, primarily related to closing 154 under performing restaurants in international markets. In constant currencies, earnings per share was 43 cents, an increase of 5% for the quarter. Systemwide sales increased 4% and revenues increased 6% for the quarter in constant currencies.


“Europe’s operating income continued to show improvement compared with the first half of the year, excluding the charges for restaurant closings. Quarterly comparable sales also improved sequentially in Europe, led by France, which had positive comparable sales for each of the past seven months. Germany also posted continuing comparable sales improvement, with September’s results the best in the past 12 months. Consumer concerns about the safety of the European beef supply in certain markets appear to be lessening and we look forward to a stronger fourth quarter.

“In the U.S., third quarter comparisons were difficult, primarily due to the Teenie Beanie Babies and Olympic Taste Trials promotions last year. As announced yesterday, the U.S. business has made organizational changes and redeployed resources designed to improve our customers’ experience, build sales and encourage more frequent visits.


“In addition to the plans announced for the U.S., we are carefully reviewing our business around the world. We will determine the most efficient methods to deliver our strategic priorities – people, operational excellence and profitability – and strive to improve sales, margins and returns.


“As a result of these change initiatives around the world, we expect to incur a special charge to earnings in the fourth quarter. We anticipate these initiatives will produce future savings in selling, general and administrative expenses. We will announce the amounts of the charge and expected savings in the near future.


“While we continue to target relatively flat constant currency earnings per share for the year, in light of continued economic weakness and its negative effect on consumer spending around the world, we expect fourth quarter earnings per share of 34 to 36 cents in constant currencies. These expectations exclude the impact of the fourth quarter special charge.


“This has been a challenging year for many global companies, including McDonald’s. While I am not pleased with our overall results, I am proud of how our System has responded to the many difficult conditions we’ve faced. I am also proud of our great brand, our outstanding franchisees and suppliers, our employees and our exciting plans to build an even stronger and more productive McDonald’s for the future.”


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 Café, Boston Market, Chipotle and Donatos Pizza. Collectively these four businesses are referred to as “Partner Brands.” In addition, McDonald’s has a minority ownership in Pret A Manger.


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 quarter and nine months were negatively affected by foreign currency translation primarily due to the weaker Euro, British Pound, Japanese Yen and the Australian Dollar.


If foreign currency exchange rates remain constant for the remainder of the year, we expect translation will reduce full-year reported earnings per share by 4 to 5 cents.


Net Income and Net Income Per Common Share-Diluted


Net income for the quarter was $545.5 million, a decrease of 1% while diluted net income per common share increased 2% for the quarter to 42 cents. For the nine months, net income decreased 11% to $1,364.7 million and diluted net income per common share decreased 7% to $1.04. In constant currencies, net income and diluted net income per common share increased 3% and 5%, respectively, for the quarter, and decreased 7% and 4%, respectively, for the nine months.


For the quarter, the Company recorded a $137.1 million after-tax gain related to the initial public offering of McDonald’s Japan. The Company also recorded $84.1 million in after-tax charges primarily related to the closing of 154 under performing restaurants in international markets and the write-off of certain technology costs. In addition, the nine months included a $24.0 million after-tax asset impairment charge in Turkey.


Weighted average shares outstanding for the quarter and nine months 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 nine months of 2001, the Company repurchased 30.2 million shares of its common stock for approximately $914 million.


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.

n/a Not applicable


On a global basis, the increases in sales and revenues for the quarter and nine months were primarily due to restaurant expansion, partly offset by negative comparable sales. The acquisition of Boston Market in the second quarter 2000 also contributed to the increases for the nine months. Foreign currency translation had a negative effect on the growth rates for both Systemwide sales and revenues for both periods. On a constant currency basis, revenues increased at a higher rate than sales for both the quarter and the nine months partly due to a restructure of our ownership in the Philippines, effective July 1, 2001. As a result of the restructuring, most of our restaurants in the Philippines are now Company-operated rather than franchised. The higher revenue increase for the nine months was also partly due to the acquisition of Boston Market restaurants, which are all Company- operated. In addition, revenues in both periods benefited from an increase in the royalty percent received from our Japanese affiliate, effective January 1, 2001.


U.S. sales increased 3% for the quarter and 2% for the nine months primarily due to expansion. Comparable sales were slightly positive for the quarter and relatively flat for the nine months.


In Europe, Asia/Pacific and Latin America, constant currency sales increased for the quarter and nine months 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 nine 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. We expect the impact from these issues to lessen as the fourth quarter progresses. In addition, comparisons become easier since the initial concerns arose last year in the fourth quarter. Sales trends are improving in several markets, most notably France, which had positive comparable sales in each month from March through September.


In Asia/Pacific, the quarter and nine months benefited from expansion in Japan and strong performance in China. A weak economic environment in Taiwan and weak consumer spending in Australia and Japan negatively impacted sales growth, although we are encouraged by improvement in Australia’s comparable sales trend.


In Latin America, expansion and positive comparable sales in Mexico and Venezuela were the primary contributors to the sales increases for the quarter and nine months. In addition, expansion in Brazil contributed to the increases for both periods. Weak consumer spending continued to negatively affect most markets in this segment.


In the Other segment, the increases for the quarter and nine months were driven by Canada and the Partner Brands.


Combined Operating Margins

Percent of sales/revenues
Company-operated 15.9% 17.7% 15.4% 17.3%
Franchised 79.7 80.4 79.1 79.7

In constant currencies, combined operating margin dollars were relatively flat, increasing $3.5 million for the quarter while decreasing $21.9 million, or 1%, for the nine months. 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 quarter and nine months. 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 the quarter and nine months. As a percent of sales, food & paper costs decreased while payroll costs and occupancy & other operating expenses increased for both periods.


In each of the remaining segments, Company-operated margins decreased as a percent of sales for the quarter and nine months, primarily due to negative comparable sales. Higher food costs also contributed to the decline in Latin America and Asia/Pacific for both periods and in Europe for the nine months. Higher labor costs impacted Europe for both periods and Asia/Pacific for the nine months. In Asia/Pacific, the change in restaurant classification in the Philippines contributed to the declines for both periods because its Company-operated margins are lower than the average for the Asia/Pacific segment.


Franchised margins as a percent of applicable revenues increased in Asia/Pacific and decreased in the U.S., Europe and Latin America for the quarter and nine months.


Franchised margins as a percent of revenues in all segments were negatively impacted by weak comparable sales and 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.


The decreases in franchised margins as a percent of revenues in Europe for the nine months and in Latin America for both periods were also partly due to rent assistance provided to franchisees. 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 and the restructuring of the Philippines’ operations, which resulted in the reclassification of franchised margins that were lower than the average for the segment.


Selling, General & Administrative Expenses


Selling, general & administrative expenses increased 2% for the quarter and 4% for the nine months. The increases were partly due to increased spending on future restaurant technology improvements. Both periods benefited from weaker foreign currencies.


Other Operating Income (Expense), net


Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates decreased for both periods, primarily due to weaker results in Japan, the increase in Japan’s royalty expense and a weaker Japanese Yen. 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 income (expense) for the quarter and nine months included $101.5 million of charges primarily related to the closing of 154 under performing restaurants and the write-off of certain technology costs. The Company expects to close about 10 additional under performing restaurants in the fourth quarter. Other income (expense) for the nine months also included a $24.0 million asset impairment charge in Turkey.

Operating Income


Consolidated operating income decreased $150.2 million, or 16% for the quarter and $263.6 million, or 10%, for the nine months, in constant currencies. Excluding the charge related to restaurant closings, the technology cost write-off and the Turkey asset impairment, adjusted consolidated operating income decreased 5% for both periods. The adjusted operating income decreases for both periods were due to lower combined operating margin dollars, lower other operating income and higher selling, general & administrative expenses.

n/a Not applicable

U.S. operating income increased 1% for the quarter and nine months. The increases were due to higher combined operating margin dollars. The quarter included lower selling, general & administrative expenses and lower other operating income, while the nine months included higher selling, general & administrative expenses and higher other operating income.


Europe’s adjusted operating income was flat for the quarter and decreased 6% for the nine months in constant currencies. Strong results in France and Russia drove this segment’s improved performance in the quarter. 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.


The adjusted operating income in Asia/Pacific decreased 18% for the quarter and 3% for the nine months in constant currencies. In both periods, strong performance in China and the increase in the royalty percent received from Japan was more than offset by weak operating results in Australia, Japan and Taiwan. In addition, a gain on the sale of real estate in Singapore contributed to the results for the nine months.


Latin America’s adjusted operating income decreased 53% for the quarter and 39% for the nine months 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, Canada’s continued strong performance was offset by weak results in several markets in the Middle East & Africa for both periods.


INTEREST, NONOPERATING EXPENSE AND INCOME TAXES


Interest expense decreased slightly for the quarter and increased for the nine months. Lower average interest rates were partly offset for the quarter and more than offset for the nine months by higher average debt levels. The higher average debt levels were a result of the Company using its available credit capacity to repurchase shares of its common stock. Both periods benefited from weaker foreign currencies.


Nonoperating (income) expense for the quarter and nine months included a $137.1 million gain on the initial public offering of McDonald’s Japan. The gain was due to the increase in the carrying value of our investment as a result of the cash proceeds from the IPO received by McDonald’s Japan. Also contributing to the nonoperating income for both periods were higher foreign currency translation gains. Partly offsetting the income for the quarter was the write-off of a domestic investment. The nine months included nonoperating expenses associated with the write-off of a financing receivable from a Latin American supplier and minority interest expense related to the sale of real estate in Singapore.


The third quarter effective income tax rate was 27.3% compared with 30.5% in 2000. The effective tax rate for the nine months was 30.4% compared with 31.4% in 2000. The decrease in the income tax rate in 2001 was the result of the Japan IPO gain, partly offset by certain restaurant closing charges and the Turkey asset impairment charge, none of which were tax-effected for financial reporting purposes. For the full year, we expect the tax rate to be about 30.0%.
