What This Means (2024 FDD)

According to Benihana's 2024 Franchise Disclosure Document, the operating income for the year ended December 31, 2021, was 7.0%. This figure is expressed as a percentage of total revenues. In 2020, Benihana experienced an operating loss of (9.6)%.

Operating income is a key indicator of a company's profitability from its core business operations. For a prospective Benihana franchisee, this indicates the percentage of revenue remaining after deducting operating expenses like the cost of sales, operating expenses, general and administrative costs, depreciation, and other expenses. A positive operating income, such as the 7.0% reported for 2021, suggests that Benihana's business model is profitable at the operational level.

It's important to note that this percentage does not reflect other financial factors such as interest, taxes, or non-operating income/expenses, which are accounted for separately to arrive at net income. Franchisees should consider this operating income in conjunction with other financial metrics to gain a comprehensive understanding of Benihana's overall financial performance and stability.
