SUMMARY COMMENTARY
<PAGE>

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jack M. Greenberg commented, "I am happy to
report McDonald's outstanding results this quarter. Diluted earnings per share
increased 14% to $.33 for the quarter. In constant currencies, the increase was
even stronger at 17%. Total revenues were also strong. They increased 10%, or
13% in constant currencies. Systemwide sales increased 8%, or 9% in constant
currencies. Having just concluded a meeting with our worldwide family of
owner/operators, partners, suppliers and employees, I can attest that our entire
system is energized, focused and excited about our current performance and our
future growth opportunities.

     "I am also pleased to announce a $1 billion increase in our share
repurchase program, bringing the total program to $4.5 billion through 2001. The
strength of our business around the world and our growing free cash flow put us
in a position to increase our stock buyback while maintaining a strong credit
rating. Using our excess credit capacity to buy stock continues to be an
excellent way to provide shareholder value. In addition, we believe McDonald's
stock is currently undervalued. Therefore, we have taken this opportunity to be
an aggressive buyer, purchasing $574 million, or 16.6 million shares of our
common stock in the first quarter. This brought the cumulative purchases to $1.8
billion, or 51 million shares under our three-year share repurchase program."

     Jim Cantalupo, Vice Chairman and President McDonald's Corporation said,
"Consolidated operating income increased 11% for the quarter in constant
currencies. Europe and the U.S., which together comprise about 80% of operating
income, each delivered outstanding results. Europe achieved a sales increase of
12% and a 15% increase in operating income on a constant currency basis. U.S.
sales were up 5% and its operating income increased 9% for the quarter.
Asia/Pacific's constant currency operating income increase of 20% was also
impressive. Strong results in South Korea, as well as strong sales in a number
of other markets, helped by the very successful Hello Kitty promotions,
contributed to the increase. We have begun to see improvement in Japan's sales
trends, although its weak economy is still negatively impacting our business.
While Latin America's operating income declined on a constant currency basis,
the segment posted sequential improvement since fourth quarter 1999. Results
were negatively affected by difficult economic conditions in most markets. We
expect profits in Latin America to improve as we progress throughout 2000. We
are excited about our plans for 2000 and look forward to an outstanding year for
McDonald's around the world."

     Alan Feldman, President McDonald's USA said, "McDonald's U.S. momentum
continues as we focus on operations excellence, value, people initiatives and
food taste and variety. Beginning tomorrow, our new McSalad Shakers and Chicken
McGrill and Crispy Chicken sandwiches will be available in all McDonald's U.S.
restaurants. The McSalad Shakers innovative packaging makes it easy for
customers to enjoy a crisp, fresh, healthy Chef, Grilled Chicken Caesar or
Garden salad on the go. Both our Chicken McGrill with its zesty marinade and the
Crispy Chicken with its more flavorful, crispy
<PAGE>

coating include whole-leaf lettuce and a slice of tomato, offering our customers
more reasons to visit McDonald's. We believe these new menu items and the
improvements in taste as a result of our new Made For You food preparation
system will continue to excite customers and bring them back again and again."

NET INCOME AND NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE - DILUTED

Net income increased 12 percent and diluted net income per common share
increased 14 percent for the quarter (16 and 17 percent in constant currencies,
respectively). Weighted average shares outstanding for the quarter were lower
compared with the prior year primarily due to shares repurchased. In addition,
outstanding stock options had a less dilutive effect than in the prior year.
During the first quarter, the Company repurchased 16.6 million shares of its
common stock for $574 million.

OPERATING RESULTS

McDonald's operates primarily in the quick-service hamburger restaurant
business. In addition, the Company operates other restaurant concepts: Aroma
Cafe, Chipotle Mexican Grill and Donatos Pizza. Collectively these three
businesses are referred to as "Other Brands." Throughout this report, Other
Brands financial information is included in the Other segment, except where
specifically noted.

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.

     The primary currency negatively affecting reported results for the first
quarter was the Euro, which is the currency in 11 of our European markets
including France and Germany. This negative effect was partly offset by the
stronger Japanese Yen.
<PAGE>

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 were due to
expansion and positive comparable sales. Foreign currency translation had a
negative effect on the growth rates for both Systemwide sales and revenues. The
stronger Japanese Yen had a greater positive currency translation effect on
sales compared with revenues. This is due to our affiliate structure in Japan.
Under this 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, sales were less negatively affected by foreign currency
translation than were revenues.

     On a constant currency basis, revenues increased at a higher rate than
sales due to the higher unit growth rate of Company-operated restaurants
relative to Systemwide restaurants and the consolidation of Argentina and
Indonesia for financial reporting purposes.

n/a  Not applicable

     U.S. sales increased due to positive comparable sales and expansion. In
Europe, expansion and positive comparable sales drove the constant currency
sales increase. This segment's results benefited from strong performances in
France, Italy and Spain. Germany and the United Kingdom also contributed
significantly to the increase.

     Expansion and positive comparable sales also drove the constant currency
sales increase in Asia/Pacific. Strong performances in China and South Korea,
along with strong sales in Taiwan and several other markets, helped by the very
successful Hello Kitty promotions, drove the results. Japan also contributed
substantially to the segment's increase due to expansion.
<PAGE>

     In Latin America, expansion, partly offset by negative comparable sales,
drove the constant currency sales increase. This segment's results benefited
from positive comparable sales in Brazil, Mexico and Venezuela.

     In the Other segment, Canada's strong comparable sales and expansion
contributed to the increase in sales. In addition, Other Brands contributed
$43.2 million to the increase.

</TABLE>

     Combined operating margin dollars increased $75 million, or seven percent
for the quarter. The increase was primarily driven by expansion and positive
comparable sales, partly offset by weaker foreign currencies. Foreign currency
translation negatively impacted combined operating margin dollars by $34 million
or three percent. Margin dollars in the U.S. and Europe segments accounted for
about 80 percent of the combined margin dollars in both years.

     Company-operated margin dollars increased 12 percent and also increased as
a percent of sales for the quarter. Payroll costs and occupancy & other expenses
decreased as a percent of sales, while food & paper costs increased as a percent
of sales.

     As a percent of sales, the U.S. Company-operated margin increased for the
quarter. As a percent of sales, food & paper costs decreased, payroll costs
increased and occupancy & other operating expenses were flat.

     In Europe, the Company-operated margin also increased as a percent of
sales. Payroll costs and occupancy & other operating expenses decreased as a
percent of sales, while food & paper costs increased as a percent of sales.

     The increase in Asia/Pacific's Company-operated margin as a percent of
sales was primarily due to strong sales performance. In Latin America, the
decline in the Company-operated margin as a percent of sales was primarily due
to difficult economic conditions experienced by most markets, partly offset by
the consolidation of Argentina.
<PAGE>

     Franchised margin dollars increased five percent for the quarter, despite a
decline in franchised margins as a percent of applicable revenues. The decrease
in the margin as a percent of revenues was primarily due to higher occupancy
costs as a result of our strategy to lease more sites. By leasing a higher
proportion of new sites, we have reduced initial capital requirements. However,
as anticipated, this practice reduces franchised margins since the financing
costs implicit in the lease are included in occupancy expense, whereas, for
owned sites, financing costs are reflected in interest expense.

     In the U.S., Asia/Pacific and Latin America, franchised margins as a
percent of revenues declined primarily due to increased occupancy costs. In
addition, the consolidation of Argentina and Indonesia contributed to the
decline in margins as a percent of revenues in Latin America and Asia/Pacific,
respectively.

Selling, General & Administrative Expenses

     Selling, general & administrative expenses increased 11 percent for the
quarter, primarily due to spending to support the development of both McDonald's
restaurants and Other Brands. Selling, general & administrative expenses
included $11 million related to Other Brands. In addition, the consolidation of
Argentina and Indonesia contributed to the increase. Excluding Other Brands and
the consolidations, selling, general & administrative expenses increased six
percent for the quarter.

franchising and the food service business. The decrease in other expense was
primarily related to lower provisions for property dispositions in 2000 and the
absence of costs associated with the 1999 implementation of our Made For You
food preparation system.

Operating Income

     Operating income increased $57 million, or eight percent for the quarter;
11 percent in constant currencies. The increase was primarily driven by higher
combined operating margin dollars and higher other operating income, partly
offset by higher selling, general & administrative expenses and weaker foreign
currencies.

n/a  Not applicable

     U.S. operating income increased $29 million or nine percent for the
quarter. The increase was driven by higher combined operating margin dollars and
higher other operating income, partly offset by higher selling, general &
administrative expenses.

     Europe's operating income increased 15 percent in constant currencies. This
performance was primarily due to strong results in France, Italy and Spain.
Germany and the United Kingdom also contributed to the increase.

     Operating income in Asia/Pacific increased 20 percent in constant
currencies. This segment benefited from strong performances in Australia, South
Korea and Taiwan.

     Latin America's operating income declined four percent in constant
currencies. The decline was due to difficult economic conditions in most markets
in the region, as well as a difficult comparison with strong first quarter 1999
results in Puerto Rico. Partly offsetting this were the strong performances in
Brazil and Venezuela as well as the consolidation of Argentina.

     In the Other segment, strong performances in Canada and several other
markets were offset by Other Brands operating losses of $9.1 million.
<PAGE>

INTEREST EXPENSE AND INCOME TAXES

Lower interest expense for the quarter was primarily the result of lower average
interest rates and weaker foreign currencies, partly offset by higher average
debt levels.

     The effective income tax rate was 32.0 percent for the first quarter of
2000 compared with 33.0 percent for the first quarter of 1999. For the year
2000, the Company expects its effective income tax rate to be about 32.0
percent.
