What does 'GH=A5H98:IHIF9M95F69B9:=HD5MA9BHG8IF=B;:=G75@M95FG' represent in the Del Taco financial statements?

Based on the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, it is not possible to determine what 'GH=A5H98:IHIF9M95F69B9:=HD5MA9BHG8IF=B;:=G75@M95FG' represents in Del Taco's financial statements. While the FDD includes financial statements and related notes, the provided excerpts do not define or explain this specific string of characters. The excerpts do include consolidated balance sheets and information about the acquisition of Del Taco by Jack in the Box Inc., but this specific code is not referenced in those sections.

A prospective Del Taco franchisee would need to consult the full, unedited financial statements within the FDD or directly ask Del Taco for clarification to understand what this refers to. It could be a line item, an internal code, or some other identifier used within their accounting system. Without further context, its meaning remains unclear.

It is important for potential franchisees to fully understand all aspects of a franchise's financial statements before investing. If there are unfamiliar terms or codes, seeking clarification from the franchisor or a financial advisor is crucial.
