McDonald’s total franchised and company-operated revenues declined 3.5% year-over-year in Q1 2025. The drop was primarily driven by a 4.2% decrease in U.S. sales, compared to a 2.9% decline in international markets. Weaker consumer spending and heightened economic uncertainty were the main contributing factors.
