What was the total income tax expense from continuing operations for Del Taco in 2022?

I am unable to provide the exact income tax expense for Del Taco from continuing operations in 2022, as this specific figure is not disclosed within the provided excerpts from the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document. However, the FDD does contain financial statements and notes that provide an overview of Jack in the Box's acquisition of Del Taco and some financial results following the acquisition. These include total revenues of $316.9 million and net earnings of $6.5 million for Del Taco for the periods subsequent to the acquisition in 2022. The document also mentions that none of the goodwill resulting from the acquisition is deductible for tax purposes.

For a prospective franchisee, understanding the tax implications and financial performance of Del Taco is crucial. While the FDD provides some high-level figures, it lacks the specific detail of income tax expenses. This information is essential for assessing the overall profitability and financial health of the franchise.

Therefore, it is recommended that a prospective Del Taco franchisee should directly request detailed financial statements, including the specific income tax expenses, from the franchisor. Understanding these figures will allow for a more informed investment decision and a clearer picture of the potential financial outcomes of operating a Del Taco franchise.
