How the exit count is computedfiscal 2022

1 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 0 ceased (other) = 1 exits ÷ 18 at start = 5.6%

These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (0) 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.
