What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Budget's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the financial statements include information about the company's net income (loss) for the years 2022, 2023 and 2024. Specifically, in 2024, Budget experienced a net loss of $(1,817). However, in the preceding years, Budget reported net incomes of $1,635 in 2023 and $2,756 in 2022. These figures represent the overall financial performance of Budget during those periods. The net income (loss) attributable to Avis Budget Group, Inc. is $(1,821) for 2024, $1,632 for 2023, and $2,764 for 2022.
Additionally, the financial statements also account for net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests, which are $4 in 2024, $3 in 2023, and $(8) in 2022. These values are subtracted from the overall net income (loss) to arrive at the net income (loss) attributable to Avis Budget Group, Inc.
The FDD also includes a breakdown of revenues, expenses, and income taxes that contribute to the net income (loss) calculation. For example, in 2024, Budget had revenues of $11,789 and total expenses of $14,416, resulting in a loss before income taxes of $(2,627). After accounting for a benefit from income taxes of $(810), the net loss for 2024 was $(1,817).
Prospective franchisees should carefully review these financial statements and consult with a financial advisor to understand Budget's financial performance and assess the potential risks and rewards of investing in a Budget franchise. Understanding the factors that contributed to the net loss in 2024, such as long-lived asset impairment charges, is particularly important for making an informed investment decision.
