What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Sonesta Simply Suites's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation. The cost of improvements that extend the life of the property are capitalized, while repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. This is a standard accounting practice.

For the years 2022, 2023 and 2024, depreciation and amortization expenses were $3,506, $1,691 and $489 respectively. These figures represent the expense recognized during those periods as the value of assets decreased due to wear and tear or obsolescence. Amortization of key money and contract costs were $7, $396 and $1,514 for the years 2022, 2023 and 2024 respectively. Amortization of contract liabilities were $713, $1,497 and $192 for the years 2022, 2023 and 2024 respectively.

These accounting practices provide insight into how Sonesta Simply Suites manages its assets and recognizes expenses over time. Prospective franchisees should understand these principles to accurately interpret the financial statements and assess the financial health of the company. Reviewing these figures over multiple years can reveal trends in capital expenditures and asset management strategies.
