How the exit count is computedfiscal 2023

5 terminations + 1 non-renewals + 1 ceased (other) = 7 exits ÷ 36 at start = 19.4%

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 (5) are tracked separately. There is no official “failure rate” — this annualized exit rate is the disclosed, measurable floor.
