What this means: Consistent net positive growth indicates franchisees are renewing and new units are opening — a sign of system health. Consecutive years of negative net growth (closures exceeding openings) is a key red flag. Review Item 20 in the FDD for transfers, reacquisitions, and non-renewals which this summary does not capture.

How to Use This Data in Diligence

Revenue trend questions to ask franchisees

  • Did your revenue grow or decline last year vs. the FDD average?
  • Has the franchisor changed the Item 19 reporting basis between years?
  • Are more or fewer units included in the current Item 19 vs. prior year?

Unit growth questions for validation calls

  • Why did units close in [year]? Underperformance, territory conflicts, or exits?
  • Are franchisees renewing at end of term, or exiting?
  • Is the franchisor reacquiring units from franchisees?
