How the exit count is computedfiscal 2024

3 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 0 ceased (other) = 3 exits ÷ 5 at start = 60.0%

These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (1) are resales, not exits; reacquisitions by the franchisor (0) are tracked separately. There is no official “failure rate” — this annualized exit rate is the disclosed, measurable floor.
