McDonald's Momentum Continues; November Global Comparable Sales Up 6.2%

McDonald's Corporation (NYSE: MCD) announced today that Systemwide sales for McDonald's restaurants worldwide increased 10.5% in November, or 7.2% in constant currencies.

McDonald's Chief Executive Officer Jim Skinner said, "McDonald's ongoing emphasis on delivering a superior customer experience continues to drive strong top-line results around the globe, with worldwide comparable sales rising 6.2% in November."

In the U.S., comparable sales increased 5.1% as McDonald's remains a favored breakfast and late-night destination. Our unique menu variety, including the popular Snack Wrap, compelling everyday value and added conveniences continue to be the key elements behind our comparable sales performance.

In Europe, strong results in France and Germany fueled an 8.4% increase in comparable sales for the month. Europe's results benefited from combined initiatives that paired premium burgers with engaging promotions featuring the popular family games of UNO and Monopoly. McDonald's remains focused on evolving the customer experience to achieve even greater relevance with European consumers.

In Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa, comparable sales rose 4.3% in November, led by strong results in Japan and Australia as well as positive performance in China.

   Definitions
   -- Comparable sales represent sales at all McDonald's restaurants,
      including those operated by the Company, franchisees and affiliates,
      in operation at least thirteen months including those temporarily
      closed, excluding the impact of currency translation.  Some of the
      reasons restaurants may be temporarily closed include road
      construction, reimaging or remodeling and natural disasters.
      Management reviews the increase or decrease in comparable sales
      compared with the same period in the prior year to assess business
      trends.
   -- Information in constant currency is calculated by translating current
      year results at prior year average exchange rates.
   -- Systemwide sales include sales at all McDonald's restaurants,
      including those operated by the Company, franchisees and affiliates.
      Management believes Systemwide sales information is useful in
      analyzing the Company's revenues because franchisees and affiliates
      pay rent, service fees and/or royalties that generally are based on a
      percent of sales with specified minimum rent payments.
   -- The number of weekdays, weekend days and timing of holidays can impact
      our reported comparable sales.  For the month of November 2006, this
      calendar shift/trading day adjustment consisted of one more Thursday
      and one less Tuesday, compared with November 2005.  The resulting
      adjustment varied around the world, ranging from approximately -0.1%
      to +0.3%.

McDonald's tentatively plans to release December sales on January 17, 2007.
