What is the estimated future amortization expense for Cinnabon's intangible assets in 2026?

Based on the 2025 FDD, Cinnabon provides information on amortization expenses for definite-lived intangible assets and franchise agreements. For the fiscal years ended December 29, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the amortization expense for definite-lived intangible assets totaled $1,868 and $1,728, respectively.

The estimated future amortization expense for the fiscal year ending December 28, 2025, for franchise agreements is $65.

However, the document does not explicitly state the estimated future amortization expense for intangible assets for the year 2026. Instead, it mentions that estimated future amortization expense is provided for each of the next five years, but the specific figures for each year, including 2026, are not detailed in the provided excerpts.

For a prospective Cinnabon franchisee, understanding these amortization expenses is crucial for financial planning and forecasting. Since the exact figure for 2026 is not available in the provided FDD excerpts, it is recommended that potential franchisees directly inquire with Cinnabon about the estimated amortization expenses for intangible assets for each of the next five years to get a clearer picture of future financial obligations.
