What It Means

A Historical Net Sales Average for a Defined Group

The statement reports average Net Sales for the top half of the U.S. franchised stores included under the definition in Item 19 for fiscal year 2025. The full FDD explains how the group and metric are defined.

It can help a candidate frame questions, but it should not be separated from the complete Item 19 disclosure.

What It Does Not Mean

Not Profit, Owner Income, or a Forecast

The figure is not a representation of profit, cash flow, owner income, return on investment, or what a new restaurant will achieve. Individual results vary. Sales can be affected by market, site, management, operating costs, competition, financing, and other factors.
