How the exit count is computedfiscal 2021

10 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 22 ceased (other) = 32 exits ÷ 109 at start = 29.4%

These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (22) 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.
