What This Means (2024 FDD)

According to Aplus's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the company's interest paid in 2023 was $202. This figure is part of the supplemental disclosure of cash flow information. It represents the actual cash outflow for interest expenses during the year.

Additionally, the FDD provides a breakdown of interest expense, amortization of deferred financing fees, and interest income. The interest expense for 2023 is listed as $212, with amortization of deferred financing fees at $8 and interest income at ($3). The net interest expense is then calculated as $217.

It's important to note that the $202 figure represents the actual cash outflow for interest, while the $212 figure is the accrual-based interest expense. The difference between these two figures could be due to changes in accrued interest payable or the timing of interest payments. A prospective franchisee should understand the distinction between these figures when analyzing Aplus's financial statements.
