U.S. comparable sales rose 2.5% in November as McDonald's remains a relevant and affordable choice for consumers. Results for the month benefited from the ongoing popularity of McDonald's breakfast along with balance across everyday value offerings, premium menu options including the limited-time Cheddar Bacon Onion sandwiches, and the beverage line-up.

In Europe, comparable sales increased 1.4% as positive results in the U.K., Russia and other markets were partly offset by performance in Germany. Across the segment, enhanced value platforms and meal combinations, promotions featuring premium menu options and the modernization of Europe's restaurants contributed to November's sales performance.

In Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa (APMEA), November's comparable sales increased 0.6% as positive results in Australia and other markets were largely offset by ongoing weakness in Japan. Throughout APMEA, expanded value programs, locally-relevant menu variety, convenience and service enhancements continue to be key drivers of the McDonald's experience.

Systemwide sales for the month increased 3.2%, or 4.8% in constant currencies.
