SUMMARY COMMENTARY
▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer noted, "Earnings per
share for the first quarter 2002 were $.31, excluding the charges described
below, compared with $.29 for the same period last year. This performance was
better than anticipated, due primarily to strong sales in Europe during the last
two weeks in March and better than expected U.S. profitability."
     As previously announced, the Company recorded a $43 million (pre and after
tax) non-cash charge in the first quarter, primarily related to asset impairment
in Latin America and restaurant closings in Turkey, as a result of economic
weakness. Including these charges, earnings per share were $.27 for the quarter
before the cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets." To reflect the cumulative effect of this accounting change,
the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $99 million after tax ($.07 per share)
related to impaired goodwill in the first quarter. The impaired goodwill was
primarily in Latin America, where economies have weakened significantly over the
last several years.
     ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ also noted, "Europe's performance was strong. In constant
currencies, Europe's sales increased 10% and operating income increased 13% for
the quarter. Comparable sales increased in France, Germany and the U.K. We are
encouraged by these results and look forward to continued strong performance
throughout the year.
     "In the U.S., sales increased 2% for the quarter. U.S. operating income
declined 2% for the quarter, due to payments to owner/operators to facilitate a
new front counter team service system. Excluding these payments, U.S. operating
income increased 4% for the first quarter reflecting higher combined operating
margin dollars and lower selling, general and administrative expenses. We expect
our restaurant operations improvement process, along with menu and value
initiatives, to boost top line sales and help us achieve improved results as the
year progresses.
     "In our Asia/Pacific/Middle East/Africa segment, Australia posted strong
results, continuing the momentum begun last fall as a result of its New Tastes
Menu introduction. However, the segment continues to be hurt by weak economic
conditions and consumer concerns about food safety in Japan, our largest market
in the region. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Japan continues to communicate our safety and quality
standards. Sales in this segment declined 2% in constant currencies for the
quarter.
     "We expect 2002 annual earnings per share to improve significantly over
2001 results. Consistent with our previous guidance, this equates to 2002
earnings per share of $1.47-$1.50, excluding the impact of foreign currency
translation and the $142 million of charges described above."
                                        2
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
under its Partner Brands: Boston Market, Chipotle and Donatos Pizzeria. In
addition, McDonald's has a minority ownership in Pret A Manger. In fourth
quarter 2001, the Company approved a plan to dispose of its Aroma Cafe business
in the U.K. and completed the sale in March 2002.
     The segments presented in all tables and related discussion reflect the
Company's current management structure. Previously, McDonald's restaurant
operations in Canada, the Middle East and Africa, as well as the Partner Brands
were included in the Other segment. The newly created APMEA segment includes
results for McDonald's restaurant operations in Asia/Pacific, the Middle East
and Africa, while Canada and the Partner Brands are presented as individual
operating segments. In addition, U.S. and Corporate selling, general &
administrative expenses reflect a realignment of certain home office
departments' responsibilities for all periods presented.
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 translation had a negative impact on reported results for
the quarter primarily due to the weaker Euro, Japanese Yen and Brazilian Real.
Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change and Asset Impairment Charges
     Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets," which indicates that goodwill will no longer be
amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests. As a result of the
first of required goodwill impairment tests, the Company recorded a non-cash
charge of $98.6 million after tax in the first quarter for the cumulative effect
of this accounting change. The impaired goodwill was primarily in Argentina,
Uruguay and other markets in Latin America and the Middle East, where economies
have weakened significantly over the last several years.
     The Company also recorded $43.0 million of non-cash asset impairment
charges in the first quarter, primarily related to the impairment of assets in
existing restaurants in Chile and other Latin American markets and the closing
of 32 underperforming restaurants in Turkey, as a result of continued economic
weakness.
                                       3
Net Income and Diluted Net Income Per Common Share
     Income before the cumulative effect of the goodwill accounting change
declined 7%, while net income, which included the $98.6 million after-tax charge
for the cumulative effect of the goodwill accounting change, declined 33% for
the quarter. Diluted income per common share before the cumulative effect of the
accounting change declined 7% to 27 cents, while diluted net income per common
share declined 31% to 20 cents for the quarter.
     Excluding the $43.0 million of asset impairment charges, income before the
cumulative effect of the accounting change increased 4% and diluted income per
common share before the cumulative effect of the accounting change increased 7%
to 31 cents.
     Weighted average shares outstanding for the quarter 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 11.9 million shares of its common stock during the quarter for
approximately $331 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.

     On a global basis, the increases in sales and revenues for the quarter were
primarily due to restaurant expansion, partly offset by negative comparable
sales. Foreign currency translation had a negative effect on the growth rates
for both Systemwide sales and revenues for the quarter. On a constant currency
basis, revenues increased at a higher rate than sales primarily due to
significantly lower sales from our affiliate in Japan. Under our affiliate
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, Japan's sales decline had a larger negative impact on Systemwide sales
than revenues.
     U.S. sales increased 2% for the quarter primarily due to expansion.
Comparable sales were relatively flat for the quarter.
     In Europe, expansion and positive comparable sales drove the ten percent
constant currency sales increase for the quarter. Strong performances in France,
Germany and the U.K. were the primary contributors to the increase. In addition,
we are seeing significant improvements in the other markets that were previously
impacted by consumer concerns regarding the European beef supply.
     Constant currency sales results in APMEA declined due to negative
comparable sales, partly offset by expansion. APMEA's sales were impacted by
negative comparable sales in Japan due to weak economic conditions and consumer
concerns regarding food safety, partly offset by expansion in China and strong
results in Australia. Although we are proactively communicating our strong
safety and quality messages, including the fact that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ Japan does not
use Japanese beef, we expect Japan's results in the near term to continue to be
negatively affected by these consumer concerns.
     In Latin America, constant currency sales declined due to negative
comparable sales in Argentina and most other markets. We expect the weak
economic conditions in many Latin American markets to continue to impact our
business in the near term.
     The sales increase in the Partner Brands was primarily due to strong
comparable sales at Chipotle and Boston Market.

     In constant currencies, combined operating margin dollars increased $30.9
million or 3% for the quarter. The U.S. and Europe segments accounted for about
80% of the combined margin dollars for the quarter in both years.
     Consolidated food & paper costs and occupancy & other operating expenses
increased as a percent of sales for the quarter, while consolidated payroll
costs were flat as a percent of sales.
     The U.S. Company-operated margin percent increased for the quarter,
primarily due to the elimination of goodwill amortization and a lower
contribution rate to the national co-op for advertising expenses. As a percent
of sales, food & paper costs decreased, payroll costs increased and occupancy &
other operating expenses decreased.
     In Europe, Company-operated margins were flat for the quarter. France,
Germany and the U.K.'s margins increased for the quarter, however, this was
offset by higher food costs in certain other markets. Company-operated margins
in APMEA and Latin America decreased primarily due to negative comparable sales
and difficult economic conditions in many markets.
     The decline in the consolidated franchised margin percent reflects higher
occupancy costs due to an increased number of leased sites. Our strategy of
leasing a higher proportion of new sites over the past few years has reduced
initial capital requirements and related interest expense. However, as
anticipated, franchised margins as a percent of applicable revenues have been
negatively impacted because financing costs implicit in the lease are included
in rent expense, which affects these margins. For owned sites, financing costs
are reflected in interest expense, which does not affect these margins.
                                       6
     Europe's franchised margin percent increased slightly for the quarter
primarily due to positive comparable sales and a decrease in the amount of rent
relief granted to franchisees compared with the prior year. The franchised
margin percent in APMEA increased for the quarter primarily due to a
restructuring of our ownership in the Philippines in July 2001. The
restructuring resulted in the reclassification of our restaurants and related
margins, that were lower than the average for the segment, from franchised to
Company-operated.
Selling, General & Administrative Expenses
     Selling, general & administrative expenses decreased 3% for the quarter or
1% in constant currencies. As a result of the global change initiatives
introduced in late 2001, the Company expects ongoing annual selling, general &
administrative savings of about $100 million beginning in 2002, compared with
what otherwise would have been spent.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates decreased for the quarter,
primarily due to lower earnings from our Japanese affiliate and a weaker
Japanese Yen. The team service system payments represent $21.6 million of
payments to U.S. owner/operators to facilitate the introduction of a new front
counter system. In 2001, other income (expense) included a gain on the sale of
real estate in Singapore, partly offset by the write-off of certain technology
costs.
Operating Income
     Consolidated operating income for the quarter decreased 8% (6% in constant
currencies). Excluding the $43.0 million of asset impairment charges,
consolidated operating income was relatively flat in constant currencies due to
higher combined operating margin dollars and lower selling, general &
administrative expenses, offset by lower other operating income.

     U.S. operating income decreased 2% primarily due to the $21.6 million of
payments made to U.S. owner/operators, partly offset by higher combined
operating margin dollars and lower selling, general & administrative expenses.
     Europe's operating income increased 13% in constant currencies. Strong
results in France, Germany, and the U.K. drove this segment's performance.
     APMEA's operating income decreased 34% for the quarter in constant
currencies due to weak results in Japan, the $15.9 million of asset impairment
charges in Turkey and a gain on the sale of real estate in Singapore in the
prior year. Australia and China delivered significant growth in operating income
for the quarter.
     Latin America's operating results declined significantly as Argentina and
most other markets continued to experience difficult economic conditions. In
addition, the segment's reported operating income included $27.1 million of
asset impairment charges.
         The increase in operating income for the Partner Brands was primarily
driven by improved results for Chipotle and Boston Market and the elimination of
goodwill amortization, partly offset by higher losses for Aroma.
                                        8
INTEREST, NONOPERATING EXPENSE AND INCOME TAXES
Interest expense decreased for the quarter primarily due to lower average
interest rates, partly offset by higher average debt levels. We expect the
percentage decrease in interest expense to moderate throughout the year.
     Nonoperating expense decreased for the quarter primarily due to higher
minority interest expense in 2001 related to the gain on the sale of real estate
in Singapore and foreign currency translation gains in 2002 compared with
foreign currency translation losses in 2001.
     The first quarter effective income tax rate was 34.5% compared with 32.0%
in 2001. The increase in the effective income tax rate was due to the asset
impairment charges that were not tax-affected for financial reporting purposes.
We expect the annual 2002 effective tax rate to be approximately 32.5% to 33.0%.
