SUMMARY COMMENTARY
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jack M. Greenberg said, "McDonald's served nearly one billion more customers in 2000 than in 1999 and grew earnings per share 10 percent for the year in constant currencies. Despite a number of operating challenges, our worldwide comparable sales were positive and Systemwide sales increased seven percent in constant currencies for the year. During the year, we added 1,606 McDonald's restaurants, 103 McDonald's dessert-only kiosks, and 792 restaurants operated by our Other Brands, 707 of which were the result of our Boston Market acquisition. We also introduced the Golden Arches to two new countries, American Samoa and French Guiana. For the quarter, Systemwide sales increased seven percent and earnings per share grew six percent in constant currencies.
"The U.S. business posted many achievements during the year, including faster drive-thru service times; product innovations; improved food perception scores on appearance, freshness and taste; and a successful new advertising campaign. These achievements contributed to the three percent U.S. sales growth and nine percent U.S. operating income growth for the year.
"Europe's constant currency sales increased nine percent for the year and five percent for the quarter. During the year, we added 517 restaurants and posted slightly positive comparable sales in Europe, strengthening our competitive position. These results were tempered by the recent decline in consumer confidence in the European beef supply. However, by educating customers about our strict product specifications that assure our beef is safe from BSE, communicating our industry-leading safety and quality standards, and introducing additional menu variety, we partially offset the negative impact.
"Asia/Pacific sales increased nine percent for the year and 11 percent for the quarter in constant currencies despite weak consumer spending in many markets. We increased our market presence by adding 606 restaurants in Asia/Pacific in 2000. We were pleased with Japan's strong sales for the quarter and China's and South Korea's strong results for both the quarter and the year. However, Australia's results continued to be negatively affected by the goods and services tax introduced in July 2000.
"Canada's focus on food taste, value and service drove excellent performance throughout the quarter and the year.
"Latin America's performance continued to be affected by difficult economic conditions, stemming from the major devaluation in Brazil in January 1999.
"Moving forward, McDonald's will pursue additional growth by intensifying our focus on building sales at existing restaurants, improving the customer experience, expanding the ways in which we serve customers and adding restaurants. We plan to add about 1,700 restaurants in 2001, including about 1,600 McDonald's restaurants (excluding dessert-only kiosks.)
"We expect earnings per share growth in 2001 to be 10 to 13 percent, excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, for earnings per share of $1.60 to $1.65 in constant dollars. If exchange rates stay where they are, we expect foreign currency to negatively impact our reported 2001 earnings per share by about one cent. We expect the first quarter to be very challenging, due to outstanding results and an extra trading day in 2000, and continuing consumer confidence issues about European beef.
"We will continue our share repurchase program in 2001, as we believe it is the best use of our free cash flow and credit capacity. We purchased $2.0 billion of our stock in 2000, bringing the total for our $4.5 billion, three-year share repurchase program to $3.3 billion or 91.1 million shares. We expect to purchase the remaining $1.2 billion of the program by the end of this year."
OPERATING RESULTS
McDonald's operates primarily in the quick-service restaurant business. In addition, the Company operates other restaurant concepts: Aroma Cafe, Boston Market, Chipotle Mexican Grill and Donatos Pizza. Collectively these four businesses are referred to as "Other Brands." Throughout this release, Other Brands' financial information is included in the Other segment, except where specifically noted.
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.
The primary currencies negatively affecting reported results for the quarter and the year were the Euro, the British Pound and the Australian Dollar. In addition, the Japanese Yen had a negative effect for the quarter, but a positive impact for the year.
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 the year were primarily due to expansion. The year also benefited from positive comparable sales, while comparable sales for the quarter were flat. Foreign currency translation had a negative effect on the growth rates for both Systemwide sales and revenues for the quarter and the year. For the year, the stronger Japanese Yen had a greater positive currency translation effect on sales compared with revenues. This is due to our affiliate structure in Japan. Under this structure, we record a royalty in revenues based on a percentage of Japan's sales, whereas all of Japan's sales are included in Systemwide sales. For this reason, Systemwide sales were less negatively affected by foreign currency translation for the year than were revenues.
On a constant currency basis, revenues increased at a higher rate than sales in both periods primarily due to the addition of Other Brands and the consolidation of Argentina and Indonesia, for financial reporting purposes, beginning in the first quarter 2000.
U.S. sales increased three percent for the quarter and the year due to expansion and positive comparable sales. In Europe, expansion, partly offset by negative comparable sales, drove the constant currency sales increase for the quarter, while expansion along with slightly positive comparable sales drove the increase for the year. This segment benefited from strong performances in the Netherlands and Russia for both periods and Spain for the year. Also contributing significantly to the increases were the United Kingdom for both periods and France and Italy for the year. This segment's results were dampened by the decline in consumer confidence regarding the safety of the European beef supply in the fourth quarter.
In Asia/Pacific, the constant currency sales increases for both periods were primarily driven by expansion. Comparable sales were positive for the quarter and relatively flat for the year. This segment benefited from strong positive comparable sales in China for both periods and Japan for the quarter. Sales in this segment continued to be negatively impacted by weak consumer spending in Australia due to the goods and services tax introduced in July 2000.
In Latin America, the constant currency sales increases were due to expansion, partly offset by negative comparable sales. Weak consumer spending continued to negatively affect most markets in this segment; however, Mexico posted strong positive comparable sales in both periods.
In the Other segment, the increases for the quarter and the year were primarily driven by the addition of Other Brands, as well as positive comparable sales and expansion in Canada.
Combined Operating Margins
The following combined operating margin information represents margins for McDonald's restaurant business only.

Company-operated 15.6% 17.1% 16.9% 17.7%
Franchised 79.0 79.8 79.5 80.3
Combined operating margin dollars decreased $58.8 million for the quarter and $10.7 million for the year. In constant currencies, combined operating margin dollars increased by $10.9 million, or one percent, for the quarter and $191.5 million, or four percent, for the year. The U.S. and Europe segments accounted for over 80 percent of the combined margin dollars in both periods.
As a percent of sales, consolidated Company-operated margins decreased for the quarter and the year. Food & paper costs as a percent of sales were flat for the quarter and increased for the year, while payroll costs increased for the quarter and were flat for the year. Occupancy & other operating expenses increased as a percent of sales for both periods.
In the U.S., Company-operated margins increased as a percent of sales for the quarter but decreased for the year. Food & paper costs decreased as a percent of sales for the quarter and the year, 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 both periods.
Consolidated franchised margins as a percent of applicable revenues decreased for the quarter and the year. The decrease in the margin as a percent of revenues was primarily due to 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 consolidation of Argentina and Indonesia also contributed to the decline in margins as a percent of revenues.
Selling, General & Administrative Expenses
Selling, general & administrative expenses increased one percent for the quarter and seven percent for the year. The increases were primarily due to spending to support the development of Other Brands and the consolidation of Argentina and Indonesia. Excluding Other Brands and the consolidations, selling, general & administrative expenses decreased five percent for the quarter and increased one percent for the year. Selling, general & administrative expenses benefited from weaker foreign currencies and lower expense for performance-based incentive compensation.
Other Operating Income and Expense
Other operating income and expense consists of transactions related to franchising and the food service business. Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates decreased for the year primarily as a result of a gain reported in 1999 on the sale of real estate in a U.S. partnership. The decrease in other expense for the quarter and the year was primarily due to lower provisions for property dispositions in 2000, costs in 1999 associated with the implementation of our Made For You food preparation system and the write-off of software in the second quarter 1999.

For the year, consolidated operating income increased $10.1 million and, in constant currencies, $161.3 million or five percent. The constant currency increases for both periods were due to higher combined operating margin dollars and other operating income, partly offset by higher selling, general & administrative expenses. Operating income by segment includes the allocation of corporate selling, general & administrative expenses.

operating losses for Other Brands were $4.9 million and

n/a Not applicable
U.S. operating income increased $46.4 million, or 14 percent, for the quarter and $127.4 million, or nine percent, for the year. The increases for both periods were driven by higher combined operating margin dollars, lower selling, general and administrative expenses and higher other operating income.
Europe's operating income decreased three percent for the quarter and increased six percent for the year in constant currencies. Strong results in the Netherlands and Spain for both periods and France and Italy for the year contributed to this segment's performance. The concern regarding the safety of the European beef supply negatively impacted this segment's results in the fourth quarter.
Operating income in Asia/Pacific decreased two percent for the quarter and increased six percent for the year in constant currencies. Australia's results were negatively affected for both periods by the introduction of the goods and services tax in July 2000, while the segment benefited from strong performances in China and South Korea. Taiwan, which benefited from a weak comparison with the prior year due to the September 1999 earthquake, also contributed to this segment's results for both periods. The partial sale of our Japanese affiliate's ownership in Toys 'R' Us Japan, in connection with an initial public offering of Toys 'R' Us Japan, contributed to the increase for the year.
Latin America's operating income decreased 58 percent for the quarter and 23 percent for the year in constant currencies. Both periods were negatively impacted by the continuing difficult economic conditions experienced by most markets in the region, which resulted in negative comparable sales and lower margins.
In the Other segment, the investment spending for Other Brands was partially offset by Canada's increases for the quarter and the year.
INTEREST, NONOPERATING EXPENSE AND INCOME TAXES
For both periods, higher interest expense was primarily due to higher average debt levels, partly offset by weaker foreign currencies. The higher average debt levels were a result of the Company using its available credit capacity to fund share repurchases.
Nonoperating (income) expense for the quarter and the year reflected lower minority interest expense in 2000. For the year, nonoperating (income) expense also reflected a gain related to the sale of a partial ownership interest in a majority-owned subsidiary outside the U.S. and lower translation losses.
The fourth quarter effective income tax rate was 31.3 percent compared with 31.6 percent in 1999. The effective tax rate for the year was 31.4 percent compared with 32.5 percent in 1999. The decrease in the income tax rate was the result of a tax benefit resulting from an international transaction. The effective income tax rate for 2001 is expected to be 32.0 to 33.0 percent.
WEIGHTED AVERAGE SHARES
Weighted average shares outstanding for the fourth quarter and the year 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. The Company repurchased $305 million or 8.7 million shares of its common stock in the fourth quarter, bringing the total for 2000 to 56.7 million shares for $2.0 billion.
