Financial Performance


Item 19 Financial Performance

Data Based On: 1,528 franchised QUALITY hotels that were open and operating as of December 31, 2024 and met the definition of the Performance Sample.

* The document provides performance metrics such as Average Occupancy Rate, Average Daily Rate (ADR), and Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR) for franchised hotels, along with contribution percentages. However, it does not provide the total gross revenue per franchise unit (hotel) in dollar amounts. RevPAR and ADR are per-room metrics, and without additional data like the average number of rooms per hotel, it is not possible to derive average gross revenue per unit. Furthermore, the document explicitly states that the financial performance representations do not reflect costs of sales, operating expenses, or other costs/expenses required to obtain net income or profit. Therefore, net income, net profit, EBITDA, and profit range estimates cannot be determined from the provided information.
