Financial Performance

Item 19 Financial Performance

Data Based On: 12 Boarders Inn & Suites by Cobblestone® that have 31 or more guest rooms, were open for the entire 12-month periods ended December 31, 2025 and for which we were able to receive detailed financial data in a consistent format.

* The document provides financial metrics such as Average Daily Rate (ADR) and Revenue per Available Room (RevPAR). However, these are 'per room' metrics, not the overall 'average gross revenue per franchise unit' typically expected (which would be in a much higher dollar range). No explicit values for total average gross revenue, median gross revenue, revenue quartiles, gross profit, net income, net profit, or EBITDA for a franchise unit were found. Additionally, no expense data or profit margins were provided to estimate profit ranges.
