Brands whose Item 19 includes cost or profit information

Brands whose financial performance representation goes beyond sales to include costs, margins, EBITDA or net income.

How this list is built. Metric: Item 19 cost/profit disclosure. Source: each brand’s FDD (Items 6, 7, 19 and 20), as recorded on its profile with citations. Brands without the required disclosure are listed separately below rather than ranked with a guessed value. Profit data are frequently for a subset of units (often company-owned or self-reporting franchisees) and may exclude royalties, owner pay, rent or debt service. Each profile states exactly which population and which cost lines were disclosed.
