What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bambu's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the company recorded $66,834 in depreciation and amortization expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022. This figure is part of the adjustments made to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities in the statements of cash flow.
Depreciation and amortization are accounting methods used to allocate the cost of tangible (depreciation) and intangible (amortization) assets over their useful lives. For a prospective franchisee, understanding these non-cash expenses is crucial because they impact the net income or loss reported by Bambu. While they reduce the reported profit, they don't represent actual cash outflows during the period.
Franchisees should note that while amortization expenses remained relatively consistent between 2022 and 2023, net income has fluctuated. This could be due to various factors, including changes in revenue, cost of goods sold, or other operating expenses. Reviewing the full financial statements and understanding the underlying drivers of these changes is essential for assessing the financial health and stability of Bambu.
