SUMMARY COMMENTARY
President and Chief Executive Officer Jack M. Greenberg commented, "I'm
delighted to report McDonald's outstanding 1998 performance. By focusing on
strategic priorities and by building on our heritage of dynamic people and
innovation, we extended our considerable lead internationally and achieved a
remarkable turnaround in our U.S. business. This performance was rewarded
with a 61 percent increase in the Company's stock price. We are proud to
share our success with investors by splitting our common stock and
increasing the dividend.
"The stock split announced today reflects our confidence in the
business as well as our desire to continue to position McDonald's as an
attractive investment for individual investors - customers, employees,
franchisees and suppliers.
"Our 1998 U.S. performance exceeded our expectations. We are seeing
results from our strategies of delivering operational excellence,
providing our customers with the best value in the business and
motivating our owner/operators and employees as they drive customer
satisfaction.
"Our international business overcame tough challenges this year, and
reported strong results once again. McDonald's is the value leader in
virtually every market and customer demand for the McDonald's experience
remains strong.
"We continue to focus on managing our capital outlays more
effectively and increasing returns. We added 1,668 restaurants in 1998,
reflecting our strategic, more selective expansion strategy. Our plans
for 1999 include adding about 1,750 restaurants worldwide.
"We expect free cash flow to continue to grow as capital
expenditures level off and cash from operations continues to increase.
We will use this free cash flow for share repurchase, thus enhancing
returns to shareholders. Last September, we announced a $3.5 billion
share repurchase program, an amount 75 percent larger than McDonald's
previous program that was completed in 1998."
Jim Cantalupo, Vice Chairman McDonald's Corporation, Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer - McDonald's International said, "I am extremely
pleased with the quality of international results, especially in light of
the economic turmoil in certain areas of the world. I'm proud of the
international team's efforts which resulted in an increase in combined
operating margins on a constant currency basis of $296 million or 14
percent for the year and $69 million or 12 percent for the fourth
quarter. This performance was led by Europe.
"McDonald's diverse revenue and operating income mix allows us
to weather regional economic issues better than most other
companies. We have a strong presence in every one of the 114
countries in which we do business. And our global infrastructure
provides a competitive advantage that is extremely difficult to
replicate. We will continue our focus on value and profitable
expansion to help us widen the gap against our competition. Long
term, we have enormous opportunity to build our already substantial
sales, profits and returns in the international marketplace."
Alan D. Feldman, President _ McDonald's U.S.A. said, "I'm excited
about the momentum and results of the U.S. business in 1998 and I'm
confident that we can continue to build on this momentum. Strong
comparable sales and lower selling, general & administrative expenses
contributed to the terrific operating income increase and a noticeable
improvement in return on assets. Owner/operator cash flow was up
significantly for the year; average sales for new restaurants have
increased; and McDonald's market share of the U.S. hamburger segment grew
to its highest level this decade.
"The strong support of our new Made For You food preparation system by
our owner/operators verifies the effectiveness and consumer power of this
system. About 92 percent of our owner/operators have committed to the
implementation of Made For You in their restaurants. As a result, during
the fourth quarter, McDonald's made a significant amount of incentive
payments to owner/operators. We are happy to support this system which
provides customers with hotter, fresher food, reduces restaurant operating
costs and strategically supports our efforts to optimize food taste and
accommodate more menu variety.
"Today about 2,400 restaurants are using the Made For You system in
the U.S. and we expect to have virtually all U.S. restaurants using Made
For You by the end of this year."
CONSOLIDATED OPERATING RESULTS
Made For You Costs and Special Charge
During the fourth quarter, the Company incurred $146.0 million in costs
associated with Made For You, which consisted primarily of incentive
payments made to owner/operators to defray the cost of equipment made
obsolete as a result of conversion to the new system. For the year, Made
For You costs totaled $161.6 million. In addition, during the second
quarter the Company recorded a $160.0 million special charge related to
the home office productivity initiative, primarily comprised of costs
associated with employee severance and with the consolidation of office
facilities. For the quarter, the after tax amount related to Made For
You was $98.6 million, or $0.14 per diluted share. For the year, Made
For You costs and the special charge totaled $219.1 million after tax, or
$0.31 per diluted share.
Net Income and Net Income per Common Share
Excluding Made For You costs and the second quarter special charge,
net income and diluted net income per common share increased nine and ten
percent for the quarter, and eight and ten percent for the year,
respectively. Foreign currency translation significantly reduced
reported results for the first nine months of 1998; however, the effect
was minimal in the fourth quarter. Excluding the foreign currency
translation effect, Made For You costs and the second quarter special
charge, net income would have increased ten percent for the quarter and
the year while diluted net income per common share would have increased
ten percent for the quarter and 13 percent for the year. Reported net
income and diluted net income per common share, including Made For You
costs and the second quarter special charge, decreased 15 and 14 percent
for the quarter and six and three percent for the year.
The spreads between the percent change in diluted net income per
common share compared with net income resulted from fewer shares
outstanding and the absence of preferred dividends in 1998, due to the
retirement of our remaining Series E Preferred Stock in December 1997.
During the year, the Company repurchased 19.0 million shares of its
common stock, for approximately $1.2 billion. Of this amount, 5.1
million shares for $319.5 million were purchased as part of our new $3.5
billion share repurchase program.
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
quarter and year were due to expansion and positive comparable sales
trends. Weaker foreign currencies negatively affected sales for the year
and revenues for both periods.
Revenues increased at a faster rate than sales for the year. This
was primarily due to the weakened Japanese Yen, which had a greater
negative effect on sales than revenues due to our affiliate structure in
Japan, and the higher growth rate in the number of Company-operated
versus franchised restaurants. For the quarter, revenues increased at
the same rate as sales, as the Japanese Yen strengthened and offset the
effect of the higher growth rate in Company-operated versus franchised
restaurants.

n/a Not applicable
U.S. sales increased due to positive comparable sales trends and
restaurant expansion in both periods. Successful Monopoly, Teenie Beanie
Baby, Big Mac and Disney promotions, combined with local market
initiatives, contributed to the sales increase for the year.
In Europe, expansion and positive comparable sales trends drove
constant currency sales increases in both periods. England, France,
Germany, Italy and Spain were the primary contributors to the strong
sales performance in both periods. Difficult economic conditions in
Russia dampened sales performance.
In Asia/Pacific, expansion and positive comparable sales drove the
constant currency sales increase for the quarter. For the year, the
increase driven by expansion was partly offset by negative comparable
sales. Japan was the primary contributor to the increase in both periods
despite experiencing its weakest economy in decades. Australia showed
significant improvement in sales growth for the quarter. Difficult
economic conditions in Southeast Asia continued to negatively impact
consumer spending.
In Latin America, constant currency sales increases for both periods
were driven primarily by expansion. Comparable sales trends were flat
for the quarter and positive for the year. Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and
Venezuela drove the increases in sales for both periods.

Company-operated margins as a percent of sales decreased slightly
for the quarter and increased slightly for the year. Food & paper costs
decreased as a percent of sales for both periods while payroll costs
increased for the quarter and were flat for the year. Occupancy & other
expenses as a percent of sales decreased for the quarter and increased
for the year.
As a percent of sales, U.S. Company-operated margins decreased for
the quarter and increased for the year, reflecting lower food & paper
costs and higher payroll costs as a percent of sales. Occupancy & other
operating expenses were flat for both periods, as a percent of sales.
As a percent of sales, Company-operated margins outside the U.S.
were flat for the quarter and decreased slightly for the year. For both
periods, food & paper costs were flat as a percent of sales. Payroll
costs increased for the quarter and were flat for the year as a percent
of sales, while occupancy & other operating expenses decreased for the
quarter and increased for the year.
Franchised margin dollars comprised more than 60 percent of the
combined operating margins, the same as in the prior year. While
franchised margins as a percent of applicable revenues decreased for both
periods, franchised margin dollars increased eight percent for the
quarter and seven percent for the year.
As a percent of revenues, U.S. franchised margins decreased for the
quarter and the year, reflecting higher occupancy costs, driven by an
increase in the number of leased sites. Higher occupancy costs and the
consolidation of several affiliate markets negatively affected franchised
margins outside the U.S. for both periods.
Selling, General & Administrative Expenses
Selling, general & administrative expenses were relatively flat for
the quarter and for the year. In the U.S., selling, general &
administrative expenses decreased for both periods primarily due to lower
advertising costs, partially offset by higher performance based incentive
compensation. Outside the U.S., selling, general & administrative
expenses increased for both periods, primarily driven by spending to
support restaurant development and to a lesser extent, from the
consolidation of several affiliate markets. As a result of the home
office productivity initiative, the Company expects to save about $100
million of selling, general & administrative expenses per year, beginning
in 2000, with about two-thirds of the savings expected to be realized by
year end. About $15 million of these savings were realized in 1998.

Other operating (income) expense-net consists of transactions
related to franchising and the food service business. Equity in earnings
of unconsolidated affiliates increased for the quarter and year,
primarily due to strong performances in Japan and the U.S., and
strengthening foreign currencies. Other expenses increased primarily due
to higher provisions for property dispositions reflecting the increased
number of restaurant closings in 1998. The special charge recorded in
the second quarter related to the Company's home office productivity
initiative and was primarily comprised of costs associated with employee
severance and with the consolidation of office facilities. The Made For
You costs included incentive payments made to owner/operators as well as
accelerated depreciation on equipment to be replaced in Company-operated
restaurants. The Company expects the total costs related to the
implementation of Made For You to be approximately $190 million, the
remainder of which will be incurred by year end.

Excluding Made For You costs and the second quarter special charge,
constant currency consolidated operating income increased $84 million for
the quarter and $347 million for the year, or 12 percent for both
periods. For the quarter and the year, consolidated operating income
reflected higher combined operating margin dollars, partially offset by
lower other operating (income) expense-net. Selling, general &
administrative expenses were relatively flat for both periods. Including
Made For You costs and the second quarter special charge, reported
consolidated operating income decreased $58 million or eight percent for
the quarter and $46 million or two percent for the year.
U.S. operating income, excluding Made For You costs and the second
quarter special charge, increased $30 million or 11 percent for the
quarter and $155 million or 13 percent for the year. The increases were
driven by higher combined operating margin dollars and lower selling,
general & administrative expenses, partially offset by lower other
operating (income) expense-net. Including Made For You costs and the
second quarter special charge, U.S. operating income decreased $116
million or 40 percent for the quarter and $167 million or 14 percent for
the year.
Europe's operating income increased 12 percent for the quarter and
14 percent for the year in constant currencies. This performance was
primarily due to strong results in England, France, Germany, Italy and
Spain. The region's results were dampened in both periods due to the
difficult economic conditions in Russia.
Asia/Pacific's operating income increased 14 percent for the quarter
and eight percent for the year in constant currencies. The region's
results were driven primarily by Japan for both periods and by Australia
and Hong Kong for the quarter. The segment's operating income in both
periods benefited from the consolidation of several of our affiliate
markets. Economic difficulties in Southeast Asia negatively affected
results.
Latin America's operating income increased 24 percent for the
quarter and 18 percent for the year in constant currencies. This
region's results were driven by Argentina, Brazil and Mexico for both
periods and by Venezuela for the year.
Interest, Nonoperating and Income Taxes
Higher interest expense reflected higher debt levels, offset by
slightly lower average interest rates. Weaker foreign currencies reduced
the increase in interest expense for the year, while strengthening
currencies contributed to the increase for the quarter.
Nonoperating (income) expense-net for the quarter and for the year
reflected translation losses in 1998 compared with translation gains in
1997.
The effective income tax rate was 32.5 percent for the quarter and
32.8 percent for the year in 1998 compared with 30.3 percent for the
quarter and 31.8 percent for the year in 1997.
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.
Foreign currency exchange rates were highly volatile in several of
our larger markets in 1998. The Australian Dollar, Brazilian Real,
Canadian Dollar and Japanese Yen, as well as the Southeast Asian
currencies, were the primary currencies negatively impacting reported
results for the year. The French Franc, Deutsche Mark and Japanese Yen
strengthened during the fourth quarter resulting in a minimal foreign
currency benefit to reported sales and operating income for the quarter.
