- Revenue: $4.96 billion vs. $4.93 billion expected
- Same-store sales: up 5.4% vs. 3.4% increase
The Chicago-based company reported fiscal first-quarter net income of $1.33 billion, or $1.72 per share, unchanged from a year earlier.
Excluding items, McDonald’s earned $1.78 per share, beating the $1.75 per share expected by analysts surveyed by Refinitiv.
Net sales dropped 4% to $4.96 billion, topping expectations of $4.93 billion. Excluding currency fluctuations, revenue increased by 2%. The negative impact of the company’s refranchising initiative partially offset its strong same-store sales.
