How the exit count is computedfiscal 2025

0 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 1 ceased (other) = 1 exits ÷ 186 at start = 0.5%

These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (15) 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.
