McDonald's made modest structural additions to its 2025 10-K risk disclosures, introducing three new risks focused on insider trading policy, recently adopted accounting pronouncements, and fair value hedges, while eliminating the "Subsequent Events" risk category from 2024. The majority of risk factor changes involved substantive modifications to 24 existing disclosures, with notable revisions concentrated in financial reporting, global business operations, business strategy execution, long-lived asset valuation, debt management, and hedging activities. These modifications reflect refinements to how McDonald's presents established business risks rather than a fundamental shift in the company's risk profile.
