How the exit count is computedfiscal 2025

9 terminations + 1 non-renewals + 0 ceased (other) = 10 exits ÷ 116 at start = 8.6%

These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (3) are resales, not exits; reacquisitions by the franchisor (10) are tracked separately. There is no official “failure rate” — this annualized exit rate is the disclosed, measurable floor.
