Every flow is directly reported. Franchise revenue is corporate rent, royalties and fees, not total restaurant sales. Other operating income is already included in the reported aggregate operating-cost line.
Labels and narrative explain the filing. A category marked “arithmetic bridge” or “residual” is calculated from reported totals, rather than a separately reported line.
