In Q4 2024, McDonald's Corporation reported revenues of $6.388 billion, reflecting a decrease of 0.28% year-over-year, primarily impacted by challenges in the U.S. market related to an E. coli outbreak which adversely affected the Company's operations. Adjusted earnings per share fell slightly to $2.83, down 4% compared to the prior year's constant currency figures, with net income recorded at $2.016 billion. While the full-year global comparable sales reflected a modest decline of 0.1%, the fourth quarter showed signs of improvement with a 0.4% increase in comparable sales, helped by strategic marketing efforts and value initiatives. Management remains cautiously optimistic about recovering sales momentum into 2025 due to targeted strategic actions and a focus on value, operational efficiency, and brand strength.
