MCD free cash flow history
Free cash flow is operating cash flow minus capital expenditure outflow. It can be negative; it is not the same as earnings.
7,316,000,000 USD
FY 2025 · Period ended
Coverage: complete. Values in USD; not inflation adjusted.
Reporting currency is USD by the source’s USD conversion factor of 1; the source does not name the currency.
Capital expenditure here is net of asset disposals, so free cash flow can be higher than a figure that subtracts gross purchases.
