Financial Performance

Item 19 Financial Performance

Data Based On: Data for Average Daily Room Rate, Occupancy Rate, and RevPAR is based on 497 Qualified Chain Facilities for the period from January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2024. These facilities were part of the System as of December 31, 2024, passed their most recent quality assurance inspection or had yet to receive a quality assurance inspection prior to December 31, 2024, and achieved a 'Comparable Social Review Score'. All Chain Facilities in this sample were operated by franchisees.

* The document provides financial performance representations, including Average Daily Room Rate (ADR), Occupancy Rate, and Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR) for various groups of facilities. While RevPAR is a dollar amount representing gross room revenue per available room, the document does not provide 'average gross revenue per franchise unit' or 'median gross revenue per franchise unit' as a total dollar amount per unit. It also does not present any information on net income, net profit, or EBITDA per franchise unit. Therefore, these specific financial metrics cannot be extracted as per the definitions provided.
