New Licensees - Growth Continues?

The initial rush to start new licensees at the beginning of this financial year has ended, with the current count at zero. Comparing this data to the same period last year, the number of new licensees is similar: 22 this year compared to 24 last year. However, the number that have ceased operations is higher this year at 11, compared to only 3 last year.

This increase may be expected as many newer licensees are merging or being acquired by similar companies. Regardless, the rise in the number ceasing operations will be important to monitor throughout the year.
