Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 191 franchised Studio 6 Extended Stay Motels operating in the U.S. that were active and operating as franchised properties for at least two full years as of December 31, 2025. Data covers the 12-month period beginning on January 1, 2025, and ending on December 31, 2025.
* The provided Item 19 data for 'CHART 1: Historical Results for Select Franchised Studio 6 Extended Stay Motels' and 'CHART 2: Historical Results for Select Franchised Studio 6 Extended Stay Motels with A or B Ranking Score' include performance metrics such as 'Average Occupancy Rate', 'Average Daily Rate', and 'Average RevPAR'. These are rates per room or per available room, not total gross revenue, gross profit, net income, net profit, or EBITDA in dollar amounts for an entire franchise unit (motel). There is no information provided to convert these rates into total gross revenue for a unit (e.g., total number of rooms per motel, operating days, or total revenue figures). Additionally, no expense data or profit margins are provided, which prevents the calculation of estimated profit ranges.
