Earnings Call Q1 2026

May 7, 2026 - AI Summary

Strong “3 for 3” execution; growth and share gains - Q1 delivered global system-wide sales up 6% (constant currency) and global comparable sales +3.8%. - Comparable sales +3.9% in the U.S., with positive guest count and sales gaps vs near-end competitors and maintained market share. - Nearly all top 10 markets gained share; management highlights consistency across value, marketing, and menu innovation as the core reason for outperformance.
U.S. outlook: McValue expected to support; deceleration expected vs Q1 comps - CEO expects benefit through the rest of 2026 from McValue, noting it’s “locked in” for the balance of the year. - U.S. Q2 and beyond comps: CFO said they expect Q2 to show a meaningful deceleration from Q1’s 3.9% comp because April comps were difficult after the highly successful Minecraft comparison. - CFO expectation: comps accelerate on a 2-year stack basis even though Q2 headline comps decelerate (mechanics of lapping and month-to-month effects).
International momentum is solid, with clear exceptions (France) - International operated markets: comparable sales +3.9%; despite QSR traffic contraction, they gained share in nearly all top markets. - Management cited strong performance in U.K., Germany, and Australia, with those markets delivering mid- to high single-digit comp growth and continued market-share gains. - France is the negative/underperformer: management called out France not meeting expectations; they implemented a new value platform launched last week to address the issue (risk of uneven execution by market).

About McDonald`s Corp

CEO: Christopher Kempczinski

Relevant Senate Committees

Joint Committee on Taxation

As the technical arm for tax legislation, this committee's analysis and 'scoring' of tax bills directly determine the specific fiscal policies that will affect McDonald's corporate tax burden and financial planning.

Finance

This committee's control over taxation policy (corporate tax rates, international tax structures) and trade directly impacts McDonald's profitability, global business model, and supply chain costs, making it highly relevant.

Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry

This committee directly impacts McDonald's primary input costs through agricultural policy (e.g., Farm Bill, commodity prices for meat, grains, produce) and influences menu strategy through nutrition policies.

Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions

This committee directly regulates labor laws (minimum wage, unionization), food safety (FDA oversight), and health policies, all of which profoundly impact McDonald's operational costs, employee relations, and product integrity.
