How the exit count is computedfiscal 2025

0 terminations + 0 non-renewals + 137 ceased (other) = 137 exits ÷ 1,935 at start = 7.1%

These are the three FTC Item 20 statuses in which a franchisee involuntarily or terminally leaves the system. Transfers (55) are resales, not exits; reacquisitions by the franchisor (108) are tracked separately. There is no official “failure rate” — this annualized exit rate is the disclosed, measurable floor.
