McDonald’s reports Q3 improvements

Oak Brook, Ill. – McDonald’s Corporation reported positive financial results during the third quarter of fiscal 2013. The retailer’s net income grew 5% from the third quarter of the previous fiscal year, rising to $1.52 billion from $1.45 billion.



In addition, McDonald’s revenues increased 2% to $7.32 billion from $7.15 billion. Global same-store sales increased 0.9%, including 0.7% in the U.S. McDonald’s attributed the slight increase in U.S, same-store sales to the introduction of new core products and the national limited time Mighty Wings offer, as well as the Monopoly promotion. Looking ahead, the retailer expects global same-sales performance to be in-line with recent quarterly trends and flat during October.
