How the exit count is computedfiscal 2025

0 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 9 ceased (other) = 9 exits ÷ 169 at start = 5.3%

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