McDonald's expanded its risk disclosures by adding five new risk factors including explicit sections on cybersecurity, risk management strategy, and forward-looking statement disclosures, while substantively modifying 22 existing risks primarily focused on financial assets, long-lived assets, debt obligations, and internal controls. The company removed one accounting-related risk factor while retaining 51 unchanged risks, reflecting a net increase in risk disclosure granularity and emphasis on emerging operational vulnerabilities such as cyber threats.
