Segment and Geographic Information
 
The Company franchises and operates McDonald’s restaurants in the global restaurant industry. In connection with the Company's announcement in early May 2015 to restructure its global business, the Company changed its reporting segments, effective July 1, 2015, from a geographic focus to segments each of which combines markets with similar characteristics and opportunities for growth. The following new reporting segments reflect how management now reviews and evaluates operating performance:
•
U.S. - the Company’s largest segment. This segment did not change as a result of the new reporting structure.
•
International Lead Markets - established markets including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, the U.K. and related markets.
•
High Growth Markets - markets the Company believes have relatively higher restaurant expansion and franchising potential including China, Italy, Korea, Poland, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, the Netherlands and related markets.
•
Foundational Markets and Corporate - the remaining markets in the McDonald’s system, each of which the Company believes has the potential to operate under a largely franchised model. Corporate activities are also reported within this segment.
The segment information included herein is presented in accordance with the change in reporting structure for all periods presented.

Corporate general and administrative expenses consists of home office support costs in areas such as facilities, finance, human resources, information technology, legal, marketing, restaurant operations, supply chain and training.
