Financial Performance

Item 19 Financial Performance

Data Based On: 109 Qualified Chain Facilities in the United States, open for the full year 2024 (January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024), that opened before January 1, 2023, 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' (received at least ten total reviews via Medallia with an average score of 3.0 or above out of 5.0). All facilities were operated by franchisees.

* The document provides Average Daily Room Rate (ADR), Occupancy Rate, and Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR) for Qualified Chain Facilities. RevPAR is defined as 'gross room revenue per available room', not the total gross revenue per franchise unit. Therefore, no direct 'average_gross_revenue' or 'median_gross_revenue' for a full unit can be extracted based on the provided definitions and typical values. No information on net income, net profit, EBITDA, or expenses was provided.
