McDonald's Reports Global Results Driven by Strong U.S. Performance
PRNewswire-FirstCall
OAK BROOK, Ill.
Jul 21, 2005
McDonald's Corporation (NYSE: MCD) today announced operating results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005.
The Company reported the following highlights for the quarter:
-- Revenues increased 8% (5% in constant currencies) driven by a global
comparable sales increase of 2.8%
-- Operating income increased 5% (3% in constant currencies)
-- EPS was $0.42, including $0.09 per share of incremental tax expense
resulting from the decision to repatriate approximately $3.2 billion
in foreign earnings under the Homeland Investment Act
-- The Company repurchased approximately $600 million, or about 20
million shares of its common stock
Chief Executive Officer Jim Skinner commented, "We delivered solid operating results for the second quarter driven by positive global comparable sales and the continued strength of our U.S. business. U.S. revenues increased 7% for the quarter, driven by multiple complimentary initiatives that delivered compelling value, menu variety and added convenience to our customers.
"In Europe, although we continue to manage challenges in a few of our key markets, our ongoing emphasis on striking the right balance between branded everyday affordability, premium product selections and core menu offerings generated increased customer visits for the quarter. To strengthen the segment's performance, our European leadership team is committed to initiatives that will deliver an outstanding customer experience and generate further improvements in this critical area of the world.
"In our Asia/Pacific/Middle East/Africa segment, Australia's strong quarterly results were partly offset by weak performance in China and Japan. To broaden our success across the segment, we continue to develop our value and new product initiatives in several markets, including Japan and China. We expect these initiatives to enhance our consumer appeal and drive improved results for the region.
"The key to our success is firmly grounded in delivering continuous improvements across each of our Plan to Win's 5 P's - People, Products, Place, Price and Promotion. To further build upon the strong foundation we've established, we are focused on developing friendly and motivated staff, relevant menu offerings, modern and inviting locations, meaningful everyday value and marketing that resonates with customers around the world. In addition, we remain committed to exercising financial discipline in the deployment of our growing cash flow.
"Delivering an exceptional customer experience remains our top priority. Ongoing consistency in operational execution and leadership marketing will enable us to keep our brand relevant and on the right path to deliver solid, sustainable growth for this year and beyond."

* For the quarter and six month periods ended June 30, 2005, earnings
included $112.0 million (or $0.09 per share) of incremental tax expense
related to the Company's decision to take advantage of the one-time
opportunity provided under the Homeland Investment Act to reduce future
taxes by repatriating in 2005 approximately $3.2 billion of historical
earnings from our international business. This negatively impacted both
the net income and diluted net income per common share growth rates for
the quarter by 19 percentage points. Earnings for the six month period
also included a tax benefit of $178.8 million (or $0.13 per share)
primarily due to a favorable audit settlement of the Company's 2000-2002
U.S. tax returns in the first quarter. On a net basis, the above two
items positively impacted both six month growth rates by 6 percentage
points.
