Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 12 Established Franchised Hotels qualified as 'Established Hotels' for the trailing 12-month period ending February 28, 2025. These hotels were open and operating under the Brand for at least 18 calendar months, reported data to the franchisor and STR, and were not undergoing significant renovations that caused more than 7% of total rooms to be out of order.
* The document provides Average RevPAR (Revenue Per Available Room) for Established Franchised Hotels as $52.87 and a median RevPAR of $52.66. RevPAR is defined as the average revenue per available room. However, the FDD does not provide the average number of available rooms per hotel, which is necessary to convert RevPAR into an 'average gross revenue per franchise unit' (i.e., total annual revenue per hotel). Since $52.87 is a rate per room and falls far below the typical range of $100K - $10M for 'average gross revenue per franchise unit', these fields are set to null. No information regarding net income, net profit, EBITDA, or expenses was provided, so related fields and profit estimates are set to null.
