The royalty deal adds $8.3M in revenue plus fees, for incremental revenue of 12%. The royalty grows at 4% for seven years. Payout ratio goes to 84.7%. The deal lasts for 99 years. BarBurrito has 260 locations, and is growing nicely. Same-store sales growth was recently at 4.4%. It looks like a good deal to us.
