McDonald’s Reports Third Quarter 2025 Results with Strong Global Sales Growth
McDonald’s Corporation reported third quarter 2025 results showing continued global momentum despite a challenging environment. Global comparable sales rose 3.6 percent, with gains across all major segments — up 2.4 percent in the U.S., 4.3 percent in International Operated Markets, and 4.7 percent in International Developmental Licensed Markets.
Global Systemwide sales reached over 36 billion dollars for the quarter, up 8 percent year over year, or 6 percent in constant currency. Loyalty program sales across 60 markets totaled approximately 9 billion dollars for the quarter and 34 billion dollars over the past twelve months. Consolidated revenues grew 3 percent, while consolidated operating income rose 5 percent, or 3 percent in constant currency.
Earnings per diluted share were 3.18 dollars, up 2 percent from the previous year. Excluding restructuring charges related to the company’s “Accelerating the Organization” initiative, adjusted earnings per share were 3.22 dollars, essentially flat compared to last year.
CEO Chris Kempczinski said McDonald’s sustained growth reflects the strength of its value-driven strategy, menu innovation, and marketing effectiveness. “We’re fueling momentum by delivering everyday value, affordability, and menu innovation that continue to bring customers through our doors,” he said.
