Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: The primary financial performance representations (ADR, Occupancy Rate, RevPAR, and RevPAR Index) are based on 31 'Qualified Chain Facilities' that were franchised and operated during the full year 2024. The Central Reservation System Contribution data is based on 71 franchised Chain Facilities.
* The document provides financial performance representations in the form of Average Daily Room Rate (ADR), Occupancy Rate, RevPAR (gross room revenue per available room), and RevPAR Index for Qualified Chain Facilities. It also provides Central Reservation System Contribution percentages for all Chain Facilities. However, the document does not present the total average gross revenue, median gross revenue, revenue quartiles, net income, net profit, or EBITDA for individual franchise units as total dollar amounts. No expense or profit margin information is provided to allow for profit estimations. Therefore, the specific fields requiring total unit revenue, profit, or EBITDA dollar amounts are reported as null.
