How the exit count is computedfiscal 2025

57 terminations + 31 non-renewals + 0 ceased (other) = 88 exits ÷ 679 at start = 13.0%

These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (37) are resales, not exits; reacquisitions by the franchisor (6) are tracked separately. There is no official “failure rate” — this annualized exit rate is the disclosed, measurable floor.
