Item 20 — System Size (Outlet Count)

Kumon reports 1,710 US centers in the 2026 FDD, up 21 from 1,689 in the 2025 filing.
Item 19 — Financial Performance Representations
Kumon did not include an Item 19 financial performance representation in either the 2025 or the 2026 filing; both filings state the franchisor does not make financial performance representations.
Item 6 — Ongoing Fees
| 2025 FDD | 2026 FDD | Change | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Royalty rate | Not disclosed | Not disclosed | unchanged |
Neither filing discloses a single royalty percentage; the Kumon agreement uses per-student monthly fees detailed in Item 6 rather than a percentage of Gross Sales.
