Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Nature of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation These financial statements represent the consolidated financial statements of The Joint Corp. (“The Joint”), which includes its variable interest entities (“VIEs”), and its wholly owned subsidiary, The Joint Corporate Unit No. 1, LLC (collectively, the “Company”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amount of assets, liabilities, revenue, costs, expenses, other (expenses) income, and income taxes that are reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. These estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events, historical experience, actions that the Company may undertake in the future and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. As a result, actual results may be different from these estimates. For a discussion of significant estimates and judgments made in recognizing revenue, accounting for leases, and accounting for income taxes, see Note 2, "Revenue Disclosures," Note 9, "Income Taxes," and Note 10, "Commitments and Contingencies." Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of The Joint and its wholly owned subsidiary, The Joint Corporate Unit No. 1, LLC, which was dormant for all periods presented. The Company consolidates VIEs in which the Company is the primary beneficiary in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 810, Consolidations (“ASC 810”). Non-controlling interests represent third-party equity ownership interests in VIEs. All significant inter-affiliate accounts and transactions between The Joint and its VIEs have been eliminated in consolidation. Comprehensive (Loss) Income Net (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income are the same for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. Nature of Operations The Joint Corp., a Delaware corporation, was formed on March 10, 2010 for the principal purpose of franchising, developing, selling regional developer rights, supporting the operations of franchised chiropractic clinics, and operating and managing corporate chiropractic clinics at locations throughout the United States of America. The franchising of chiropractic clinics is regulated by the Federal Trade Commission and various state authorities. The following table summarizes the number of clinics in operation under franchise agreements and as company-owned or managed for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022: Year Ended December 31, Franchised clinics: 2023 2022 Clinics open at beginning of period 712 610 Opened during the period 104 121 Acquired during the period — 2 Sold during the period (3) (16) Closed during the period (13) (5) Clinics in operation at the end of the period 800 712 Year Ended December 31, Company-owned or managed clinics: 2023 2022 Clinics open at beginning of period 126 96 Opened during the period 10 16 Acquired during the period 3 16 Sold during the period — (2) Closed during the period (4) — Clinics in operation at the end of the period 135 126 Total clinics in operation at the end of the period 935 838 Clinic licenses sold but not yet developed 132 197 Executed letters of intent for future clinic licenses 40 38 Variable Interest Entities Certain states prohibit the “corporate practice of chiropractic,” which restricts business corporations from practicing chiropractic care by exercising control over clinical decisions by chiropractic doctors. In states which prohibit the corporate practice of chiropractic, the Company typically enters into long-term management services agreements ("MSAs") with professional corporations (“PCs”) that are owned by licensed chiropractic doctors, which, in turn, employ or contract with doctors who provide professional chiropractic care in its clinics. Under these management agreements with PCs, the Company provides, on an exclusive basis, all non-clinical services of the chiropractic practice. The Company has entered into such management agreements with three PCs, including one in Kansas, in connection with the opening of company-managed clinics in August 2022. An entity deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE is required to consolidate the VIE in its financial statements. An entity is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE if it has both of the following characteristics: (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb the majority of losses of the VIE or the right to receive the majority of benefits from the VIE. In accordance with relevant accounting guidance, these PCs were determined to be VIEs. Such PCs are VIEs, as fees paid by the PCs to the Company as its management service provider are considered variable interests because the fees do not meet all the following criteria: 1) The fees are compensation for services provided and are commensurate with the level of effort required to provide those services; 2) The decision maker or service provider does not hold other interests in the VIE that individually, or in the aggregate, would absorb more than an insignificant amount of the VIE’s expected losses or receive more than an insignificant amount of the VIE’s expected residual returns; 3) The service arrangement includes only terms, conditions, or amounts that are customarily present in arrangements for similar services negotiated at arm’s length. Additionally, the Company has determined that it has the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the performance of these PCs and have an obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits which could potentially be significant to the PCs. Accordingly, the PCs are VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary and are consolidated by the Company. The revenues of VIEs represent the revenues of Company-managed clinics in states that prohibit the corporate practice of chiropractic. The Company's involvement with VIEs affects its financial performance and cash flows primarily through amounts recorded in Revenues from company-owned or managed clinics and General and administrative expenses, which are principally comprised of payroll and related expenses, merchant card fees and insurance expense. The management fees/income provided by the MSAs are considered intercompany transactions and therefore eliminated upon consolidation of VIEs. The VIEs’ total revenue was $41.5 million and $34.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The VIEs' general and administrative expenses, excluding the consolidated intercompany management fee, were $18.4 million and $15.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The VIEs’ deferred revenue liability balance for amounts collected in advance for membership and wellness packages was $1.6 million and $4.7 million as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The VIEs’ payroll liability balance as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $0.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The VIEs' deferred tax assets balance as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The VIEs' liabilities to be disposed of as of December 31, 2023 was $3.6 million. The carrying amount of the other VIEs’ assets and liabilities was immaterial as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, except for those previously listed. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company continually monitors its positions with, and credit quality of, the financial institutions with which it invests. As of the balance sheet date and periodically throughout the period, the Company has maintained balances in various operating accounts in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has invested substantially all its cash in short-term bank deposits. The Company had no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. Restricted Cash Restricted cash relates to cash that franchisees and company-owned or managed clinics contribute to the Company’s National Marketing Fund and cash that franchisees provide to various voluntary regional Co-Op Marketing Funds. Cash contributed by franchisees to the National Marketing Fund is to be used in accordance with the Company’s Franchise Disclosure Document with a focus on regional and national marketing and advertising. While such cash balance is not legally segregated and restricted as to withdrawal or usage, the Company's accounting policy is to classify these funds as restricted cash. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable primarily represent amounts due from franchisees for royalty and software fees. The Company records an allowance for credit losses as a reduction to its accounts receivables for amounts that the Company does not expect to recover. An allowance for credit losses is determined through assessments of collectability based on historical trends, the financial condition of the Company’s franchisees, including any known or anticipated bankruptcies, and an evaluation of current economic conditions, as well as the Company’s expectations of conditions in the future. Actual losses ultimately could differ materially in the near term from the amounts estimated in determining the allowance. As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company had no allowance for credit losses on accounts receivable. Deferred Franchise Costs and Regional Development Costs Deferred franchise and regional development costs represent commissions that are direct and incremental to the Company and are paid in conjunction with the sale of a franchise license or regional development rights. These costs are recognized as an expense, in franchise and regional development cost of revenues when the respective revenue is recognized, which is generally over the term of the related franchise or regional developer agreement. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost or for property acquired as part of franchise acquisitions at fair value at the date of closing. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives, which is generally three Capitalized Software The Company capitalizes certain software development costs, including costs to implement cloud computing arrangements that is a service contract. These capitalized costs are primarily related to software used by clinics for operations and by the Company for the management of operations. Costs incurred in the preliminary stages of development are expensed as incurred. Once an application has reached the development stage, internal and external costs, if direct, are capitalized as assets in progress until the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Capitalization ceases upon completion of all substantial testing. The Company also capitalizes costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable the expenditures will result in additional functionality. Internally developed software is recorded as part of property and equipment. Maintenance and training costs are expensed as incurred. Internally developed software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life, which is generally three Leases The Company leases property and equipment under operating and finance leases. The Company leases its corporate office space and the space for each of the company-owned or managed clinic in the portfolio. The Company recognizes a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and lease liability for all leases. Certain leases include one or more renewal options, generally for the same period as the initial term of the lease. The exercise of lease renewal options is generally at the Company’s sole discretion and, as such, the Company typically determines that exercise of these renewal options is not reasonably certain. As a result, the Company does not include the renewal option period in the expected lease term and the associated lease payments are not included in the measurement of the ROU asset and lease liability. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments; however, the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for substantially all of its leases. In such cases, the Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate as the interest rate it would pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments over a similar term, with similar collateral as in the lease, and in a similar economic environment. The Company estimates these rates using available evidence such as rates imposed by third-party lenders to the Company in recent financings or observable risk-free interest rate and credit spreads for commercial debt of a similar duration, with credit spreads correlating to the Company’s estimated creditworthiness. For operating leases that include rent holidays and rent escalation clauses, the Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term from the date it takes possession of the leased property. Pre-opening costs are recorded as incurred in general and administrative expenses. Variable lease payments, such as percentage rentals based on location sales, periodic adjustments for inflation, reimbursement of real estate taxes, any variable common area maintenance and any other variable costs associated with the leased property are expensed as incurred and are also included in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated income statements. Intangible Assets Intangible assets consist primarily of re-acquired franchise rights and customer relationships. The Company amortizes the fair value of re-acquired franchise rights over the remaining contractual terms of the re-acquired franchise rights at the time of the acquisition, which generally range from one two Goodwill Goodwill consists of the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in the acquisitions of franchises. Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized but are tested for impairment annually and more frequently if a triggering event occurs that makes it more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is below carrying value. As required, the Company performs an annual impairment test of goodwill as of the first day of the fourth quarter or more frequently if a triggering event occurs. No impairments of goodwill were recorded for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recovered. The Company looks primarily to estimated undiscounted future cash flows in its assessment of whether or not long-lived assets are recoverable. The Company records an impairment loss when the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2023, certain long-lived asset groups classified as held and used were determined to not be recoverable. The carrying values of these asset groups included fixed assets of $3.0 million that were written down to $1.2 million. During the year ended December 31, 2022, an operating lease ROU asset related to a closed clinic with a total carrying amount of approximately $0.2 million was written down to zero. As a result, the Company recorded a noncash impairment loss of approximately $1.8 million and $0.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. In connection with the planned sale of certain company-owned and managed clinics, the Company reclassified $4.9 million of net property and equipment, $3.4 million of intangible assets, net, $1.1 million of goodwill and $9.2 million of ROU assets to Assets held for sale and reclassified $10.2 million of lease liability and $3.6 million of deferred revenue from Company clinics to Liabilities to be disposed of in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023. Long-lived assets that meet the held for sale criteria are reported at the lower of their carrying value or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. As a result, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $0.7 million to adjust the carrying value of the disposal group to fair value less cost to sell during the year ended December 31, 2023. In connection with the sale of two company-managed clinics to franchisees, the Company reclassified $288,192 of property and equipment and $359,807 of ROU assets to Assets held for sale and reclassified $428,593 of ROU liability and $54,351 of deferred revenue from company clinics to Liabilities to be disposed of in the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022. Long-lived assets that meet the held for sale criteria are reported at the lower of their carrying value or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. As a result, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $79,400 to adjust the carrying value of the disposal group to fair value less cost to sell during the year ended December 31, 2022. One of the two clinics was sold during August 2022, and the second clinic was sold in October 2022. Advertising Fund The Company has established an advertising fund for national or regional marketing and advertising of services offered by its clinics. The monthly marketing fee is 2% of clinic sales. The Company segregates the marketing funds collected which are included in restricted cash on its consolidated balance sheets. As amounts are expended from the fund, the Company recognizes a related expense. Such costs are included in selling and marketing expenses on the consolidated income statements. Co-Op Marketing Funds Some franchises have established regional Co-Ops for advertising within their local and regional markets. The Company maintains a custodial relationship under which the Co-Op Marketing Funds collected are segregated and used for the purposes specified by the Co-Ops’ officers. The Co-Op Marketing Funds are included in restricted cash on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Revenue Recognition The Company generates revenue primarily through its company-owned and managed clinics and through royalties, franchise fees, advertising fund contributions, IT related income and computer software fees from its franchisees. Revenues from Company-Owned or Managed Clinics. The Company earns revenues from clinics that it owns and operates or manages throughout the United States. Revenues are recognized when services are performed. The Company offers a variety of membership and wellness packages which feature discounted pricing as compared with its single-visit pricing. Amounts collected in advance for membership and wellness packages are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized when the service is performed. Any unused visits associated with monthly memberships are recognized on a month-to-month basis. The Company recognizes a contract liability (or a deferred revenue liability) related to the prepaid treatment plans for which the Company has an ongoing performance obligation. The Company derecognizes this contract liability, and recognizes revenue, as the patient consumes his or her visits related to the package and the Company transfers its services. If the Company determines that it is not subject to unclaimed property laws for the portion of wellness package that it does not expect to be redeemed (referred to as “breakage”) then it recognizes breakage revenue in proportion to the pattern of exercised rights by the patient. Royalties and Advertising Fund Revenue. The Company collects royalties, as stipulated in the franchise agreement, equal to 7% of gross sales, and a marketing and advertising fee currently equal to 2% of gross sales. Royalties, including franchisee contributions to advertising funds, are calculated as a percentage of clinic sales over the term of the franchise agreement. The revenue accounting standard provides an exception for the recognition of sales-based royalties promised in exchange for a license (which generally requires a reporting entity to estimate the amount of variable consideration to which it will be entitled in the transaction price). As the franchise agreement royalties, inclusive of advertising fund contributions, represent sales-based royalties that are related entirely to the Company’s performance obligation under the franchise agreement, such sales-based royalties are recognized as franchisee clinic level sales occur. Royalties are collected semi-monthly, two working days after each sales period has ended. Franchise Fees. The Company requires the entire non-refundable initial franchise fee to be paid upon execution of a franchise agreement, which typically has an initial term of 10 years. Initial franchise fees are recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the term of the franchise agreement. The Company’s services under the franchise agreement include training of franchisees and staff, site selection, construction/vendor management and ongoing operations support. The Company provides no financing to franchisees and offers no guarantees on their behalf. The services provided by the Company are highly interrelated with the franchise license and as such are considered to represent a single performance obligation. Renewal franchise fees, as well as transfer fees, are also recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective franchise agreement. Software Fees. The Company collects a monthly fee from its franchisees for use of its proprietary chiropractic software, computer support and internet services support. These fees are recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective franchise agreement. Capitalized Sales Commissions. Sales commissions earned by the regional developers and the Company’s sales force are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a franchise agreement with a franchisee. These costs are deferred and then amortized as the respective franchise fees are recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the term of the franchise agreement. Upfront Regional Developer Rights Fees The Company has a regional developer program where regional developers are granted an exclusive geographical territory and commit to a minimum development obligation within that defined territory. Upon granting of the exclusive rights to develop a territory, a regional developer will pay an upfront fee to the Company. Upfront regional developer fees represent consideration received from a vendor to act as the Company’s agent within an exclusive territory. The upfront regional developer rights fee is accounted for as a reduction of cost of revenues, in franchise and regional development cost of revenues, to offset the respective future commissions paid to the regional developer. The fees are ratably recognized over the term of the related regional developer agreement. Regional developers receive fees which are funded by the initial franchise fees collected from franchisees upon the sale of franchises within their exclusive geographical territory and a royalty of 3% of sales generated by franchised clinics in their exclusive geographical territory. Initial fees related to the sale of franchises within their exclusive geographical territory are initially deferred as deferred franchise costs and are recognized as an expense in franchise cost of revenues when the respective revenue is recognized, which is generally over the term of the related franchise agreement. Royalties of 3% of sales generated by franchised clinics in their regions are also recognized as franchise cost of revenues as franchisee clinic level sales occur. This 3% fee is funded by the 7% royalties we collect from the franchisees in their regions. Certain regional developer agreements result in the regional developer acquiring the rights to existing royalty streams from clinics already open in the respective territory. In those instances, fees collected from the sale of the royalty stream is recognized as a decrease to franchise and regional developer cost of revenues over the remaining life of the respective franchise agreements. Regional Developer Rights Contract Termination Costs From time to time, subject to the Company’s strategy, regional developer rights are reacquired by the Company, resulting in a termination of the contract. The termination costs to reacquire the regional developer rights are recognized at fair value, less any unrecognized upfront regional developer fee liability balance, as a general and administrative expense in the period in which the contract is terminated in accordance with the contract terms and are recorded within general and administrative expenses. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are advertising and marketing expenses incurred by the Company, primarily through advertising funds. The Company expenses production costs of commercial advertising upon first airing and expenses the costs of communicating the advertising in the period in which the advertising occurs. Advertising expenses were $6.8 million and $5.2 million, for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for using a balance sheet approach known as the asset and liability method. The asset and liability method accounts for deferred income taxes by applying the statutory tax rates in effect at the date of the consolidated balance sheets to differences between the book basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequence for those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. The differences relate principally to depreciation of property and equipment and treatment of revenue for franchise fees and regional developer fees collected. Tax positions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted as new information becomes available. The recoverability of deferred tax assets is evaluated by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income from all sources, including reversal of taxable temporary differences, forecasted operating earnings and available tax planning strategies. These estimates of future taxable income inherently require significant judgment. To the extent it is considered more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will be not recovered, a valuation allowance is established. The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes by recognizing the tax benefit or expense from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company measures the tax benefits and expenses recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The Company has identified $1.2 million and $1.3 million in uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Interest and penalties associated with tax positions are recorded in the period assessed as general and administrative expenses. With exceptions due to the generation and utilization of net operating losses or credits, as of December 31, 2023, the Company is no longer subject to federal and state examinations by taxing authorities for tax years before 2018 and 2017, respectively. (Loss) Earnings per Common Share Basic (loss) earnings per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted (loss) earnings per common share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares including restricted stock and stock options. Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 Net (loss) income $ (9,752,197) $ 626,705 Weighted average common shares outstanding - basic 14,688,115 14,488,314 Effect of dilutive securities: Unvested restricted stock and stock options 247,102 379,779 Weighted average common shares outstanding - diluted 14,935,217 14,868,093 Basic (loss) earnings per share $ (0.66) $ 0.04 Diluted (loss) earnings per share $ (0.65) $ 0.04 Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculation of diluted net (loss) income per common share as the effect would be anti-dilutive were as follows: Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 Unvested restricted stock — — Stock options 89,152 89,152 Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for share-based payments by recognizing compensation expense based upon the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant. The Company determines the estimated grant-date fair value of restricted shares using the closing price on the date of the grant and the grant-date fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. In order to calculate the fair value of the options, certain assumptions are made regarding the components of the model, including risk-free interest rate, volatility, expected dividend yield and expected option life. Changes to the assumptions could cause significant adjustments to the valuation. The Company recognizes compensation costs ratably over the period of service using the straight-line method. Forfeitures are estimated based on historical and forecasted turnover, which is approximately 5%. Retirement Benefit Plan Employees of the Company are eligible to participate in a defined contribution retirement plan, the Joint Corp. 401(k) Retirement Plan (the “401(k) Plan”), under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the 401(k) Plan, employees may contribute their eligible compensation, not to exceed the annual limits set by the IRS. The 401(k) Plan allows the Company to match participants’ contributions in an amount determined at the sole discretion of the Company. The Company matched participants’ contributions for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, up to a maximum of 4% of the employee’s eligible compensation. Employer contributions totaled $570,877 and $478,277, for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Loss Contingencies ASC Topic 450 governs the disclosure of loss contingencies and accrual of loss contingencies in respect of litigation and other claims. The Company records an accrual for a potential loss when it is probable that a loss will occur and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. When the reasonable estimate of the potential loss is within a range of amounts, the minimum of the range of potential loss is accrued, unless a higher amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range. Moreover, even if an accrual is not required, the Company provides additional disclosure related to litigation and other claims when it is reasonably possible (i.e., more than remote) that the outcomes of such litigation and other claims include potential material adverse impacts on the Company. Legal costs to be incurred in connection with a loss contingency are expensed as such costs are incurred. Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Items subject to significant estimates and assumptions include loss contingencies, share-based compensations, useful lives and realizability of long-lived assets, deferred revenue and revenue recognition related to breakage, deferred franchise costs, calculation of ROU assets and liabilities related to leases, realizability of deferred tax assets, impairment of goodwill, intangible assets, other long-lived assets, and purchase price allocations and related valuations.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue Disclosures | Revenue Disclosures Company-Owned or Managed Clinics The Company earns revenues from clinics that it owns and operates or manages throughout the United States. Revenues are recognized when services are performed. The Company offers a variety of membership and wellness packages which feature discounted pricing as compared with its single-visit pricing. Amounts collected in advance for membership and wellness packages are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized when the service is performed in accordance with the Company’s breakage policy, as discussed in Note 1," Revenue Recognition." Franchising Fees, Royalty Fees, Advertising Fund Revenue, and Software Fees As of December 31, 2023, we had 800 franchised clinics in operation, 132 clinic licenses sold but not yet developed and 40 executed letters of intent for future clinic licenses. The franchise arrangement is documented in the form of a franchise agreement. The franchise arrangement requires the Company to perform various activities to support the brand that do not directly transfer goods and services to the franchisee, but instead represent a single performance obligation, which is the transfer of the franchise license. The intellectual property subject to the franchise license is symbolic intellectual property as it does not have significant standalone functionality, and substantially all of the utility is derived from its association with the Company’s past or ongoing activities. The nature of the Company’s promise in granting the franchise license is to provide the franchisee with access to the brand’s symbolic intellectual property over the term of the license. The services provided by the Company are highly interrelated with the franchise license and as such are considered to represent a single performance obligation. The transaction price in a standard franchise arrangement primarily consists of (a) initial franchise fees, (b) continuing franchise fees (royalties), (c) advertising fees, and (d) software fees. Generally, the revenue accounting standard requires the reporting entity to estimate the amount of variable consideration to which it will be entitled in the transaction price. However, the revenue accounting standard provides an exception, and it allows a reporting entity to recognize revenue for a sales-based or usage-based royalty promised in exchange for a license of intellectual property only when (or as) the later of the following events occurs: (i) the subsequent sale or usage occurs, or (ii) the performance obligation to which some or all of the sales-based or usage-based royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied). In accordance with the revenue accounting standard exception, royalty and advertising revenue are recognized when the franchisee's sales occur. The Company recognizes the primary components of the transaction price as follows: • Initial and renewal franchise fees, as well as transfer fees, are recognized as revenue ratably on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective franchise agreement commencing with the execution of the franchise, renewal, or transfer agreement. As these fees are typically received in cash at or near the beginning of the contract term, the cash received is initially recorded as a contract liability until recognized as revenue over time. • The Company is entitled to royalties and advertising fees based on a percentage of the franchisee's gross sales as defined in the franchise agreement. Royalty and advertising revenue are recognized when the franchisee's sales occur. Depending on timing within a fiscal period, the recognition of revenue results in either what is considered a contract asset (unbilled receivable) or, once billed, accounts receivable, on the consolidated balance sheet. • The Company is entitled to a software fee, which is charged monthly. The Company recognizes revenue related to software fees ratably on a straight-line basis over the term of the franchise agreement. In determining the amount and timing of revenue from contracts with customers, the Company exercises significant judgment with respect to collectability of the amount; however, the timing of recognition does not require significant judgment as it is based on either the franchise term or the reported sales of the franchisee, neither of which requires estimation. The Company believes its franchising arrangements do not contain a significant financing component. The Company recognizes advertising fees received under franchise agreements as advertising fund revenue. Disaggregation of Revenue The Company believes that the captions contained on the consolidated income statements appropriately reflect the disaggregation of its revenue by major type for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. Other revenues primarily consist of merchant income associated with preferred vendor royalties associated with franchisees' credit card transactions. The following table shows the Company's revenues disaggregated according to the timing of transfer of services: December 31, 2023 2022 Revenue recognized at a point in time $ 109,726,899 $ 94,520,246 Revenue recognized over time $ 7,969,457 $ 6,732,064 Total Revenue $ 117,696,356 $ 101,252,310 Rollforward of Contract Liabilities and Contract Costs Changes in the Company's contract liability for deferred revenue from company clinics during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were as follows: Deferred Revenue from company clinics Balance at December 31, 2021 $ 5,235,745 Revenue recognized that was included in the contract liability at the beginning of the year (4,553,086) Net increase during the year ended December 31, 2022 6,788,890 Balance at December 31, 2022 $ 7,471,549 Revenue recognized that was included in the contract liability at the beginning of the year (6,455,934) Net increase during the year ended December 31, 2023 3,448,132 Balance at December 31, 2023 $ 4,463,747 Changes in the Company's contract liability for deferred franchise fees during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were as follows: Deferred Revenue Balance at December 31, 2021 $ 15,375,151 Revenue recognized that was included in the contract liability at the beginning of the year (2,250,471) Net increase during the year ended December 31, 2022 3,505,055 Balance at December 31, 2022 $ 16,629,735 Revenue recognized that was included in the contract liability at the beginning of the year (2,709,080) Net increase during the year ended December 31, 2023 2,193,224 Balance at December 31, 2023 $ 16,113,879 The Company's deferred franchise and development costs represent capitalized sales commissions.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract] | |
Acquisitions and Assets Held for Sale | Acquisitions and Assets Held for Sale 2023 Acquisitions On May 22, 2023, the Company entered into an Asset and Franchise Purchase Agreement under which the Company repurchased from the sellers three operating franchised clinics in California (the “2023 CA Clinics Purchase”). As of the acquisition date, the Company operates the franchises as company-managed clinics. The total purchase price for the transaction was $1,188,764 to the seller less $28,997 of net deferred revenue, resulting in total purchase consideration of $1,159,767. Based on the terms of the purchase agreement, the 2023 CA Clinics Purchase has been treated as an asset purchase under GAAP as there were no outputs or processes to generate outputs acquired as part of these transactions. Under an asset purchase, assets are recognized based on their cost to the acquiring entity. Cost is allocated to the individual assets acquired or liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values and does not give rise to goodwill. The allocation of the total purchase price of the 2023 CA Clinics Purchase was as follows: Property and equipment $ 313,995 Operating lease right-of-use asset 317,662 Intangible assets 1,004,513 Total assets acquired 1,636,170 Deferred revenue (158,365) Operating lease liability - current portion (118,081) Operating lease liability - net of current portion (199,957) Net purchase consideration $ 1,159,767 Intangible assets in the table above primarily consist of reacquired franchise rights of $0.7 million amortized over their estimated useful lives of six 2022 Acquisitions On May 19, 2022, the Company entered into an Asset and Franchise Purchase Agreement under which the Company repurchased from the seller four operating franchises in Arizona. The Company operates the franchises as company-owned clinics. The total purchase price for the transaction was $5,761,256, less $70,484 of net deferred revenue, resulting in total purchase consideration of $5,690,772. On July 5, 2022, the Company entered into an Asset and Franchise Purchase Agreement under which the Company repurchased from the seller one operating franchise in Arizona (collectively, including the May 19th purchase, the “AZ Clinics Purchase”). The Company operates the franchise as a company-owned clinic. The total purchase price for the transaction was $1,205,667, less $13,241 of net deferred revenue, resulting in total purchase consideration of $1,192,426. Based on the terms of the purchase agreements, the AZ Clinics Purchase has been treated as a business combination under GAAP using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at the date of acquisition at their respective fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. The allocation of the total purchase price of AZ Clinics Purchase was as follows: Property and equipment $ 241,511 Operating lease right-of-use asset 912,937 Intangible assets 3,689,100 Total assets acquired 4,843,548 Goodwill 3,408,205 Deferred revenue (455,317) Operating lease liability - current portion (128,516) Operating lease liability - net of current portion (784,722) Net purchase consideration $ 6,883,198 Intangible assets in the table above consist of re-acquired franchise rights of $2,892,100, amortized over estimated useful lives of approximately four two The valuation method involved the use of significant estimates and assumptions primarily related to forecasted revenue growth rates, gross margin, contributory asset charges, customer attrition rates, and market-participant discount rates. These measures are based on significant Level 3 inputs not observable in the market. Key assumptions developed based on the Company’s historical experience, future projections and comparable market data include future cash flows, long-term growth rates, attrition rates and discount rates Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase consideration over the fair value of the underlying acquired net tangible and intangible assets. The factors that contributed to the recognition of goodwill included synergies and benefits expected to be gained from leveraging the Company’s existing operations and infrastructures, as well as the expected associated revenue and cash flow projections. Goodwill has been allocated to the Company’s Corporate Clinics segment based on such expected benefits. Goodwill related to the acquisition is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes over 15 years. The Company completed the purchase price allocation during the fourth quarter of 2022. On July 29, 2022, the Company entered into Asset and Franchise Purchase Agreements under which the Company repurchased from the sellers three operating franchises in North Carolina. The Company operates the franchises as company-managed clinics. The total purchase price for the transactions was $1,317,312, less $31,647 of net deferred revenue, resulting in total purchase consideration of $1,285,665. On October 13, 2022, the Company entered into an Asset and Franchise Purchase Agreement under which the Company repurchased from the seller an operating franchise in North Carolina. The Company operates the franchise as a company-managed clinic. The total purchase price for the transaction was $761,384, less $5,108 of net deferred revenue, resulting in total purchase consideration of $756,276. On October 24, 2022, the Company entered into an Asset and Franchise Purchase Agreement under which the Company repurchased from the seller an operating franchise in North Carolina (collectively, including the July 29th and October 13th purchases, the "NC Clinics Purchase"). The Company operates the franchise as a company-managed clinic. The total purchase price for the transaction was $1,391,112, less $9,262 of net deferred revenue, resulting in total purchase consideration of $1,381,850. On December 23, 2022, the Company entered into Asset and Franchise Purchase Agreements under which the Company repurchased from the sellers six operating franchises and one undeveloped clinic in California (the “2022 CA Clinics Purchase”). The Company operates the franchises as company-managed clinics. The total purchase price for the transactions was $1,965,755, less $70,628 of net deferred revenue, resulting in total purchase consideration of $1,895,127. Based on the terms of the purchase agreement, the NC and 2022 CA Clinics Purchases have been treated as asset purchases under GAAP as there were no outputs or processes to generate outputs acquired as part of these transactions. Under an asset purchase, assets are recognized based on their cost to the acquiring entity. Cost is allocated to the individual assets acquired or liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values and does not give rise to goodwill. The allocation of the total purchase price of NC Clinics Purchase was as follows: Property and equipment $ 198,236 Operating lease right-of-use asset 521,222 Intangible assets 3,544,456 Total assets acquired 4,263,914 Deferred revenue (326,332) Operating lease liability - current portion (146,255) Operating lease liability - net of current portion (367,536) Net purchase consideration $ 3,423,791 Intangible assets in the table above consist of reacquired franchise rights of $2,042,658 amortized over their estimated useful lives of two two The allocation of the total purchase price of 2022 CA Clinics Purchase was as follows: Property and equipment $ 677,518 Tenant improvement allowance 55,790 Operating lease right-of-use asset 1,520,353 Intangible assets 1,480,359 Total assets acquired 3,734,020 Deferred revenue (215,555) Operating lease liability - current portion (200,877) Operating lease liability - net of current portion (1,422,461) Net purchase consideration $ 1,895,127 Intangible assets in the table above primarily consist of reacquired franchise rights of $1,151,272 amortized over their estimated useful lives of six Assets Held for Sale In June 2023, the Company entered into negotiations to sell one of its company-managed clinics in California to a franchisee for a total of $0.1 million. The Company executed an LOI with the buyer in October 2023 and the sale closed February 2024. This transaction did not represent a major strategic shift for the Company, and, therefore, it does not meet the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation. As a result, the results of this clinic are reported in the Company’s operating results and in its Corporate Clinics segment until the sale finalized in February 2024. Effective with the designation as held for sale in June 2023, the Company discontinued recording depreciation on property and equipment, net and amortization of ROU assets for the clinic as required by GAAP. The Company also separately classified the related assets and liabilities of the clinics as held for sale in its December 31, 2023 consolidated balance sheet. During Q3 2023, the Company committed to a plan to sell specific corporate owned or managed clinics making up under 10% of the corporate clinic portfolio with an estimated fair value of $1.6 million. The clinics are in varying stages of sales negotiations with all of them expected to close within one year. The clinics identified to commit to sell during Q3 2023 did not represent a major strategic shift and therefore, they do not meet the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation. As a result, the results of these clinics will continue to be reported in the Company’s operating results and in its Corporate Clinics segment until the sales are each finalized. Effective with the designation as held for sale in September 2023, the Company discontinued recording depreciation on property and equipment, net, amortization of intangible assets, net and amortization of ROU assets for the clinics as required by GAAP. The Company also separately classified the related assets and liabilities of the clinics as held for sale in its December 31, 2023 consolidated balance sheet. In November 2023, the Company initiated a plan to re-franchise the majority of its corporate-owned or managed clinics with plans to retain a small portion of high-performing clinics. The clinics identified in the plan to re-franchise make up approximately 67% (excluding the clinics previously committed to sell during Q3 2023) of the corporate owned or managed clinic portfolio. The clinics are in varying stages of sales negotiations with 42 of them expected to close within one year with an estimated fair value of $29.0 million at December 31, 2023. The clinics identified to commit to sell and expected to close within one year did not represent a major strategic shift because the clinics identified to commit to sell and expected to close within one year do not involve exiting a major line of business or exiting a major geographic area. As a result, the results of these clinics will continue to be reported in the Company’s operating results and in its Corporate Clinics segment until the sales are each finalized. Effective with the designation as held for sale in November 2023, the Company discontinued recording depreciation on property and equipment, net, amortization of intangible assets, net and amortization of ROU assets for the clinics as required by GAAP. The Company also separately classified the related assets and liabilities of the clinics as held for sale in its December 31, 2023 consolidated balance sheet. Long-lived assets that meet the criteria for the held for sale designation are reported at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less estimated cost to sell. As a result of its evaluation of the recoverability of the carrying value of the assets and liabilities held for sale relative to the agreed upon sales prices or the clinics estimated fair values, the Company recorded an estimated loss on disposal of $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 as Net loss on disposition or impairment in its consolidated income statement and a valuation allowance included in assets held for sale on its consolidated balance sheet. The principal components of the held for sale assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2023 were as follows: December 31, 2023 Assets Property and equipment, net $ 4,887,220 Operating lease right-of-use asset 9,193,496 Intangible assets, net 3,351,430 Goodwill 1,140,529 Valuation allowance (657,620) Total assets held for sale $ 17,915,055 Liabilities Operating lease liability, current and non-current $ 10,209,382 Deferred revenue from company clinics 3,622,481 Total liabilities to be disposed of $ 13,831,863 The pre-tax income of the clinics designated as held for sale is $4.4 million and $3.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, the results of which exclude the allocation of overhead. |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Consideration | Fair Value Consideration The Company’s financial instruments include cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and debt under the Credit Agreement. The carrying amounts of its financial instruments, excluding the debt under the Credit Agreement, approximate their fair value due to their short maturities. The carrying value of the Company’s debt under the Credit Agreement approximates fair value due to its interest rate being calculated from observable quoted prices for similar instruments, which is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement. Authoritative guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on reliability of the inputs as follows: Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not have any financial instruments that were measured on a recurring basis as Level 1, 2 or 3. The Company’s non-financial assets, which primarily consist of goodwill, intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, and operating lease ROU assets, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and instead are reported at their carrying amount. However, on a periodic basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be fully recoverable (and at least annually for goodwill), non-financial assets are assessed for impairment. If the fair value is determined to be lower than the carrying amount, an impairment charge is recorded to write down the asset to its fair value, which is considered Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The assets and liabilities resulting from the Acquisitions (see Note 3, Acquisitions and Assets Held for Sale) were recorded at fair values on a nonrecurring basis at the date of acquisition and are considered Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. During the year ended December 31, 2023, intangible assets related to a clinic planned for closure with a total carrying amount of approximately $0.1 million was written down to zero. The remaining life of the intangible assets related to the clinic extended through December 2025. However, the clinic closed at the end of its lease term in November 2023. The Company considered the intangible assets fully impaired at that time as the ability to obtain economic benefits in the period the clinic remained open was unlikely. As a result, the Company recorded a noncash impairment loss of approximately $0.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 as Net loss on disposition or impairment in its consolidated income statement. In connection with the planned sale of certain company-owned and managed clinics, the Company reclassified $4.9 million of net property and equipment, $3.4 million of intangible assets, net, $1.1 million of goodwill and $9.2 million of ROU assets to Assets held for sale and reclassified $10.2 million of lease liability and $3.6 million of deferred revenue from Company clinics to Liabilities to be disposed of in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023. Long-lived assets that meet the held for sale criteria are reported at the lower of their carrying value or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. The estimated fair value of the company-owned or managed clinics classified as Held for Sale (see Note 3, Acquisitions and Assets Held for Sale) were recorded at fair values on a nonrecurring basis and are based upon Level 2 inputs, which includes a potential buyer agreed upon selling price or Level 3 inputs, which include historical and future expected financial performance of the clinic and historical acquisition trends based on previous reacquired franchise clinic purchases. The fair value measurement of the assets held for sale was recorded as $0.2 million based upon Level 2 inputs and $30.4 million based upon Level 3 inputs. As a result, the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $0.7 million to adjust the carrying value of the disposal group to fair value less cost to sell during the year ended December 31, 2023. In connection with the planned sale or determined closure of certain company-owned and managed clinics, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $1.7 million included in the net loss, disposition and impairment During the year ended December 31, 2022, an operating lease ROU assets related to a closed clinic with a total carrying amount of $0.2 million was written down to zero. The associated operating lease liability had a life of 39 months at the time of impairment. However, the ROU asset was fully impaired due to the abandonment of the lease in 2022. The Company considers the ROU asset as abandoned as it lacks the ability to sublease the underlying asset and obtain economic benefits. As a result, the Company recorded a noncash impairment loss of approximately $0.2 million as Net loss on disposition or impairment in its consolidated income statement during the year ended December 31, 2022. |

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Debt | Debt Credit Agreement On February 28, 2020, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., individually, and as Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank (“JPMorgan Chase” or the “Lender”). The Credit Agreement provided for senior secured credit facilities (the "Credit Facilities") in the amount of $7,500,000, including a $2,000,000 revolver (the "Revolver") and $5,500,000 development line of credit (the "Line of Credit"). The Revolver included amounts available for letters of credit of up to $1,000,000 and an uncommitted additional amount of $2,500,000. All outstanding principal and interest on the Revolver were due on February 28, 2022. On February 28, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to its Credit Facilities (as amended, the “2022 Credit Facility”) with the Lender. Under the 2022 Credit Facility, the Revolver increased to $20,000,000 (from $2,000,000), the portion of the Revolver available for letters of credit increased to $5,000,000 (from $1,000,000), the uncommitted additional amount increased to $30,000,000 (from $2,500,000) and the developmental line of credit of $5,500,000 was terminated. The Revolver will be used for working capital needs, general corporate purposes and for acquisitions, development and capital improvement uses. At the option of the Company, borrowings under the 2022 Credit Facility bear interest at: (i) the adjusted Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), which is the daily simple SOFR, plus 0.10%, plus 1.75%, payable on the last day of the selected interest period of one, three or six months, and on the three-month anniversary of the beginning of any six-month interest period, if applicable; or (ii) an Alternative Base Rate (ABR), plus 1.00%, payable monthly. The ABR is the greatest of: (A) the prime rate (as published by the Wall Street Journal), (B) the Federal Reserve Bank of New York rate, plus 0.5%, and (C) the adjusted one-month term SOFR rate. Amounts outstanding under the Revolver on February 28, 2022 continued to bear interest at the rate selected under the Credit Facilities prior to the amendment until the last day of the interest period in effect, at which time, if not repaid, the amounts outstanding under the Revolver will bear interest at the 2022 Credit Facility rate. As a result of this refinance, $2,000,000 of current maturity of long-term debt has been reclassified to long-term as of December 31, 2022. The 2022 Credit Facility will terminate and all principal and interest will become due and payable on the fifth anniversary of the amendment (February 28, 2027). On January 17, 2024, the Company paid down the outstanding balance on its Debt under the Credit Agreement of $2,000,000. As a result of this pay down, $2,000,000 of the long-term debt has been reclassified as current as of December 31, 2023. The Credit Facilities contain customary events of default, including but not limited to nonpayment; material inaccuracy of representations and warranties; violations of covenants; certain bankruptcies and liquidations; cross-default to material indebtedness; certain material judgments; and certain fundamental changes such as a merger or sale of substantially all assets (as further defined in the Credit Facilities). The Credit Facilities require the Company to comply with customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants, including minimum interest coverage and maximum net leverage. A breach of any of these operating or financial covenants would result in a default under the Credit Facilities. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts then outstanding, together with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable. The Credit Facilities are collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets, including the assets in the Company’s company-owned or managed clinics. The Company intends to use the Revolver for general working capital needs. The interest rate on funds borrowed under the Revolver as of December 31, 2023 was 7.2%. As of December 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial and non-financial covenants under the Credit Agreement, and $2,000,000 remains outstanding as of December 31, 2023. In connection with the issuance of the Credit Facilities and the 2022 Credit Facility, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $52,648 and $76,415, respectively. Interest expense and amortization expense related to debt issuance costs are being amortized to “Other expense, net” and was $207,555 and $129,118 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. |
Stock-Based Compensation

Equity [Abstract] | |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Company grants stock-based awards under its 2014 Incentive Stock Plan (the “2014 Plan”). The shares issued as a result of stock-based compensation transactions generally have been funded with the issuance of new shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company may grant the following types of incentive awards under the 2014 Plan: (i) non-qualified stock options; (ii) incentive stock options; (iii) stock appreciation rights; (iv) restricted stock; and (v) restricted stock units. Each award granted under the 2014 Plan is subject to an award agreement that incorporates, as applicable, the exercise price, the term of the award, the periods of restriction, the number of shares to which the award pertains, and such other terms and conditions as the plan committee determines. Awards granted under the 2014 Plan are classified as equity awards, which are recorded in stockholders’ equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Through December 31, 2023, the Company has granted under the 2014 Plan (i) non-qualified stock options; (ii) incentive stock options; and (iii) restricted stock. There were no stock appreciation rights and restricted stock units granted under the 2014 Plan as of December 31, 2023. Stock Options The Company’s closing price on the date of grant is the basis of fair value of its common stock used in determining the value of share-based awards. To the extent the value of the Company’s share-based awards involves a measure of volatility, the Company uses available historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over a period of time corresponding to the expected stock option term. The Company uses the simplified method to calculate the expected term of stock option grants to employees as the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term of stock options granted to employees. Accordingly, the expected life of the options granted is based on the average of the vesting term, which is generally four years and the contractual term, which is generally ten years. The Company will continue to evaluate the appropriateness of utilizing such method. The risk-free interest rate is based on United States Treasury yields in effect at the date of grant for periods corresponding to the expected stock option term. Forfeitures are estimated based on historical and forecasted turnover, which is approximately 5%. The Company did not grant options during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. The information below summarizes the stock options activity: Number of Weighted Weighted Aggregate Intrinsic Value Outstanding at December 31, 2021 595,089 $ 9.72 5.9 $ 33,336,794 Granted at market price — Exercised (43,380) 8.86 $ 657,058 Expired (2,795) 28.45 Cancelled (16,991) 24.96 Outstanding at December 31, 2022 531,923 $ 9.2 4.7 $ 3,797,904 Granted at market price — Exercised (25,623) 7.90 $ 205,191 Expired (12,591) 13.07 Cancelled (7,375) 28.58 Outstanding at December 31, 2023 486,334 $ 8.88 3.7 $ 1,903,699 Exercisable at December 31, 2023 453,465 $ 7.34 3.5 $ 1,903,699 Vested and expected to vest at December 31, 2023 485,643 $ 8.83 3.7 $ 1,903,699 The aggregate fair value of the Company’s stock options vested during 2023 and 2022 was $407,166 and $631,512, respectively. The Company recognizes compensation costs ratably over the period of service using the straight-line method. Forfeitures are estimated based on historical and forecasted turnover, which is approximately 5%. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, stock-based compensation expense for stock options was $322,574 and $515,279, respectively. Unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for stock options as of December 31, 2023 was $275,792, which is expected to be recognized ratably over the next 1.2 years. Restricted Stock Restricted stock awards granted to employees generally vest in four equal annual installments, although on May 25, 2023, the Company granted 51,401 shares of restricted stock as part of a special award to certain high performing employees that vest in one installment on the first anniversary of the grant. Restricted stock awards granted to non-employee directors vest on the earlier of (i) one year from the grant date and (ii) the date of the next annual meeting of the shareholders of the Company occurring after the date of grant. The information below summaries the restricted stock activity: Restricted Stock Awards Shares Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value per Award Non-vested at December 31, 2021 27,720 $ 28.51 Granted 68,125 29.47 Vested (17,240) 29.13 Cancelled (8,293) 30.51 Non-vested at December 31, 2022 70,312 29.05 Granted 204,122 14.54 Vested (33,869) 22.06 Cancelled (8,664) 28.46 Non-vested at December 31, 2023 231,901 $ 17.32 For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock was $1,415,108 and $758,710, respectively. Unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock awards as of December 31, 2023 was $2,799,213 to be recognized ratably over 2.5 years. Tax Benefits Net (loss) income for 2023 and 2022 included pre-tax expense related to stock-based compensation of $1.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The Company recognized federal income tax benefits of $0 and $0.1 million from the exercises of stock options and restricted stock awards for 2023 and 2022, respectively. |

As of each reporting date, the Company’s management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could impact management’s view with regard to future realization of deferred tax assets in each reporting jurisdiction. A significant piece of objective evidence evaluated was the cumulative loss incurred in each jurisdiction over the three-year period ended December 31, 2023. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as projections for future growth, in evaluating the need for a valuation allowance. As a result, management has determined that it is more likely than not that The Joint Corp. will not realize its deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2023, and has recorded a valuation allowance after consideration of any recorded deferred tax liabilities The Joint Corp, without the VIE, has federal gross net operating loss carryforwards of $13.4 million and $21.6 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Federal tax effected of these net operating losses were $2.8 million and $4.5 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. $8.3 million of the federal net operating loss is subject to a 20-year carryforward, with a portion beginning to expire in 2036. $5.1 million of the federal net operating loss has an indefinite carryforward period. The Joint Corp., without its consolidated VIEs, has various state net operating loss carryforwards. The determination of the state net operating loss carryforwards is dependent upon apportionment percentages and state laws that can change from year to year and impact the amount of such carryforwards. If such net operating loss carryforwards are not utilized, they will begin to expire in 2025. The Joint Corp. has research and development credits of $14,229 that will begin to expire in 2031 and $21,621 California AMT credits that do not expire. The VIE's have net operating loss carryforwards of $0.2 million and $0.5 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. No federal net operating loss is subject to a 20 year carryforward. $0.2 million of the federal net operating loss has an indefinite carryforward period. The VIE's have various state net operating loss carryforwards. The determination of the state net operating loss carryforwards is dependent upon apportionment percentages and state laws that can change from year to year and impact the amount of such carryforwards. If such net operating loss carryforwards are not utilized, they will begin to expire in 2036. The following is a reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate applied to pre-tax accounting net income, compared to the income tax benefit in the consolidated income statements: For the Years Ended December 31, 2023 2022 Amount Percent Amount Percent Expected federal tax expense $ 344,139 21.0 % $ 145,982 21.0 % Meals and entertainment 31,057 1.9 % — — % State tax provision (benefit), net of federal benefit 163,657 10.0 % 41,660 6.0 % Other permanent differences 12,651 0.8 % 15,458 2.2 % Change in VA 10,849,714 662.1 % — — % Stock compensation (2,030) (0.1) % (91,454) (13.2) % Change in tax rate 147,911 9.0 % (64,756) (9.3) % Return to provision (153,254) (9.4) % — — % Other adjustments (2,892) (0.2) % 21,558 3.1 % Expense $ 11,390,953 695.1 % $ 68,448 9.8 % Changes in the Company’s income tax expense relate primarily to states taxes, change in valuation allowance, changes in tax rates, return-to-provision adjustments, as well as changes in pre-tax income during the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, effective tax rates were 695.1% and 9.8%, respectively. The difference between the statutory federal income tax rate and the Company’s effective tax rate was primarily due to the valuation allowance, and state taxes. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had gross uncertain tax positions attributable to the VIEs of $1.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively. December 31, 2023 2022 Beginning balances $ 1,314,351 $ 1,314,351 Increases related to tax positions taken during a prior year — — Decreases related to tax positions taken during a prior year — — Increases related to tax positions taken during a current year — — Decreases related to settlements with taxing authorities — — Decreases related to expiration of the statute of limitations (138,585) — Ending balances $ 1,175,766 $ 1,314,351 At December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were $19,433 and $19,433, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits that if recognized would affect the annual effective tax rate. Interest and penalties associated with tax positions are recorded in the period assessed as general and administrative expenses. Accrued interest and penalties was $142,213 and $143,584 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and recorded as other liabilities. With exceptions due to the generation and utilization of net operating losses or credits, as of December 31, 2023, the Company is no longer subject to federal and state examinations by taxing authorities for tax years before 2020 and 2019, respectively. |

This lease is expected to commence during the first or second quarter of 2024, with lease terms ten years. Guarantee in Connection with the Sale of the Divested Business In connection with the sale of a company-managed clinic in 2022, the Company guaranteed one future operating lease commitment assumed by the buyers.

At the date of sale, the undiscounted maximum potential future payments totaled $247,296. As of the year ended December 31, 2023, the undiscounted remaining lease payments under the agreement totaled $184,296. The Company had not recorded a liability with respect to the guarantee obligation as of December 31, 2023, as the Company concluded that payment under the lease guarantee was not probable.

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise for which discrete financial information is available and is reviewed regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to evaluate performance and make operating decisions. The Company has identified its CODM as the Chief Executive Officer. The Company has two operating business segments. The Corporate Clinics segment is comprised of the operating activities of the company-owned or managed clinics. As of December 31, 2023, the Company operated or managed 135 clinics under this segment. The Franchise Operations segment is comprised of the operating activities of the franchise business unit. As of December 31, 2023, the franchise system consisted of 800 clinics in operation. Corporate is a non-operating segment that develops and implements strategic initiatives and supports the Company’s two operating business segments by centralizing key administrative functions such as finance and treasury, information technology, insurance and risk management, legal and human resources. Corporate also provides the necessary administrative functions to support the Company as a publicly-traded company. A portion of the expenses incurred by Corporate are allocated to the operating segments. The tables below present financial information for the Company’s two operating business segments. Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 Revenues: Corporate clinics $ 70,718,880 $ 59,422,294 Franchise operations 46,977,476 41,830,016 Total revenues $ 117,696,356 $ 101,252,310 Depreciation and amortization: Corporate clinics $ 7,415,395 $ 5,557,494 Franchise operations 809,135 744,172 Corporate administration 357,673 344,956 Total depreciation and amortization $ 8,582,203 $ 6,646,622 Segment operating (loss) income: Corporate clinics $ (2,502,643) $ 110,257 Franchise operations 20,332,354 17,340,402 Unallocated corporate (19,902,798) (16,622,405) Total segment operating (loss) income $ (2,073,087) $ 828,254 Reconciliation of total segment operating (loss) income to consolidated earnings before income taxes: Total segment operating (loss) income $ (2,073,087) $ 828,254 Other income (expense), net 3,711,843 (133,101) Income before income tax expense $ 1,638,756 $ 695,153 December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Segment assets: Corporate clinics $ 52,210,617 $ 56,008,234 Franchise operations 10,521,582 12,360,878 Total segment assets $ 62,732,199 $ 68,369,112 Unallocated cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 19,214,292 $ 10,550,417 Unallocated property and equipment 2,843,491 915,216 Other unallocated assets 2,360,877 13,655,632 Total assets $ 87,150,859 $ 93,490,377 |

Unusual or Infrequent Items, or Both [Abstract] | |
Employee Retention Credit | Employee Retention Credit The employee retention credit ("ERC"), as originally enacted through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) on March 27, 2020, is a refundable credit against certain employment taxes equal to 50% of the qualified wages an eligible employer paid to employees from March 17, 2020 to December 31, 2020. The Disaster Tax Relief Act, enacted on December 27, 2020, extended the ERC for qualified wages paid from January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021 and the credit was increased to 70% of qualified wages an eligible employer paid to employees during the extended period. The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, enacted on March 11, 2021, further extended the ERC through December 31, 2021. In October 2022, the Company filed an application with the IRS for the ERC. Employers are eligible for the credit if they experienced full or partial suspension or modification of operations during any calendar quarter because of governmental orders due to the pandemic or a significant decline in gross receipts based on a comparison of quarterly revenue results for 2020 and/or 2021 with the comparable quarter in 2019. The Company’s ERC application was equal to 70% of qualified wages paid to employees during the period from January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2021 for a maximum quarterly credit of $7,000 per employee. In March 2023, the Company received notice and refunds from the IRS related to the overpayment of Federal Employment Tax plus interest in the amount of $4.8 million related to the ERC application. The $4.8 million ERC is subject to a 20% consulting fee. The Company's eligibility remains subject to audit by the IRS for a period of five years. Since there are no generally accepted accounting principles for for-profit business entities that receive government assistance that is not in the form of a loan, an income tax credit or revenue from a contract with a customer, we determined the appropriate accounting treatment by analogy to other guidance. We accounted for the ERC by analogy to International Accounting Standards (“IAS”) 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance, of International Financial Reporting Standards. Under an IAS 20 analogy, a business entity would recognize the ERC on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognizes the payroll expenses for which the grant (i.e., tax credit) is intended to compensate when there is reasonable assurance (i.e., it is probable) that the entity will comply with any conditions attached to the grant and the grant (i.e., tax credit) will be received. We have accounted for the $3.8 million ERC, net of the consulting fee, for the year ended December 31, 2023 as other income on the Statement of Income when the Company was reasonably assured that the Company met all requirements of the ERC and the grant would be received. The ERC refund is not taxable; however, the credit is subject to expense disallowance rules which increased income tax expense as a discrete item by $0.9 million, net of the consulting expense deduction, for the year ended December 31, 2023. |

Related Party Transactions [Abstract] | |
Related Party Transaction | Related Party Transaction Mr. Jefferson Gramm, Managing Partner of Bandera Partners LLC who is a beneficial holder of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock (approximately 27% as of December 31, 2023) was appointed to the Board of Directors effective as of January 2, 2024, to serve until the election and qualification of his successor at the 2024 Annual Meeting. In December 2020, we sold two franchise licenses at $39,900 and $29,900 each (which reflects the $10,000 multi-unit discount for the second license per the Franchise Disclosure Document) to Marshall Gramm, who is a family member of Mr. Jefferson Gramm. In April 2020 and 2021, we sold two franchise licenses at $39,900 and $29,900, respectively (which reflects the $10,000 multi-unit discount for the second license per the Franchise Disclosure Document), to a franchisee of which Mr. Jefferson Gramm is a 50% co-partner in the business. These transactions involved terms no less favorable to us than those that would have been obtained in the absence of such affiliation. Although we have no way of estimating the aggregate amount of franchise fees, royalties, advertising fund fees, IT related income and computer software fees that these franchisees will pay over the life of the franchise licenses, the franchisees affiliated with Mr. Gramm are subject to such fees under the same terms and conditions as all other franchisees. These franchisees affiliated with Mr. Gramm paid $124,275 and $92,767 in 2023 and 2022, respectively, for such royalties and other fees. In October 2020, Mr. Gramm loaned approximately $370,000 to an unaffiliated franchisee that owns and operates one franchise clinic. The loan is not secured by the assets of the business and there are no foreclosure rights. |

Nature of Operations | Nature of Operations The Joint Corp., a Delaware corporation, was formed on March 10, 2010 for the principal purpose of franchising, developing, selling regional developer rights, supporting the operations of franchised chiropractic clinics, and operating and managing corporate chiropractic clinics at locations throughout the United States of America. The franchising of chiropractic clinics is regulated by the Federal Trade Commission and various state authorities. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
Restricted Cash | Restricted Cash Restricted cash relates to cash that franchisees and company-owned or managed clinics contribute to the Company’s National Marketing Fund and cash that franchisees provide to various voluntary regional Co-Op Marketing Funds. Cash contributed by franchisees to the National Marketing Fund is to be used in accordance with the Company’s Franchise Disclosure Document with a focus on regional and national marketing and advertising. While such cash balance is not legally segregated and restricted as to withdrawal or usage, the Company's accounting policy is to classify these funds as restricted cash. |
Accounts Receivable | Accounts Receivable |
Deferred Franchise Costs and Regional Development Costs | Deferred Franchise Costs and Regional Development Costs Deferred franchise and regional development costs represent commissions that are direct and incremental to the Company and are paid in conjunction with the sale of a franchise license or regional development rights. These costs are recognized as an expense, in franchise and regional development cost of revenues when the respective revenue is recognized, which is generally over the term of the related franchise or regional developer agreement. |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost or for property acquired as part of franchise acquisitions at fair value at the date of closing. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives, which is generally three |
Capitalized Software | Capitalized Software The Company capitalizes certain software development costs, including costs to implement cloud computing arrangements that is a service contract. These capitalized costs are primarily related to software used by clinics for operations and by the Company for the management of operations. Costs incurred in the preliminary stages of development are expensed as incurred. Once an application has reached the development stage, internal and external costs, if direct, are capitalized as assets in progress until the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Capitalization ceases upon completion of all substantial testing. The Company also capitalizes costs related to specific upgrades and enhancements when it is probable the expenditures will result in additional functionality. Internally developed software is recorded as part of property and equipment. Maintenance and training costs are expensed as incurred. Internally developed software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life, which is generally three |
Leases | Leases The Company leases property and equipment under operating and finance leases. The Company leases its corporate office space and the space for each of the company-owned or managed clinic in the portfolio. The Company recognizes a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and lease liability for all leases. Certain leases include one or more renewal options, generally for the same period as the initial term of the lease. The exercise of lease renewal options is generally at the Company’s sole discretion and, as such, the Company typically determines that exercise of these renewal options is not reasonably certain. As a result, the Company does not include the renewal option period in the expected lease term and the associated lease payments are not included in the measurement of the ROU asset and lease liability. When available, the Company uses the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments; however, the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable for substantially all of its leases. In such cases, the Company estimates its incremental borrowing rate as the interest rate it would pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments over a similar term, with similar collateral as in the lease, and in a similar economic environment. The Company estimates these rates using available evidence such as rates imposed by third-party lenders to the Company in recent financings or observable risk-free interest rate and credit spreads for commercial debt of a similar duration, with credit spreads correlating to the Company’s estimated creditworthiness. For operating leases that include rent holidays and rent escalation clauses, the Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term from the date it takes possession of the leased property. Pre-opening costs are recorded as incurred in general and administrative expenses. Variable lease payments, such as percentage rentals based on location sales, periodic adjustments for inflation, reimbursement of real estate taxes, any variable common area maintenance and any other variable costs associated with the leased property are expensed as incurred and are also included in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated income statements. |
Intangible Assets | Intangible Assets Intangible assets consist primarily of re-acquired franchise rights and customer relationships. The Company amortizes the fair value of re-acquired franchise rights over the remaining contractual terms of the re-acquired franchise rights at the time of the acquisition, which generally range from one two |
Goodwill | Goodwill |
Long-Lived Assets | Long-Lived Assets |
Advertising Fund | Advertising Fund The Company has established an advertising fund for national or regional marketing and advertising of services offered by its clinics. The monthly marketing fee is 2% of clinic sales. The Company segregates the marketing funds collected which are included in restricted cash on its consolidated balance sheets. As amounts are expended from the fund, the Company recognizes a related expense. Such costs are included in selling and marketing expenses on the consolidated income statements. |
Co-Op Marketing Funds | Co-Op Marketing Funds Some franchises have established regional Co-Ops for advertising within their local and regional markets. The Company maintains a custodial relationship under which the Co-Op Marketing Funds collected are segregated and used for the purposes specified by the Co-Ops’ officers. The Co-Op Marketing Funds are included in restricted cash on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition The Company generates revenue primarily through its company-owned and managed clinics and through royalties, franchise fees, advertising fund contributions, IT related income and computer software fees from its franchisees. Revenues from Company-Owned or Managed Clinics. The Company earns revenues from clinics that it owns and operates or manages throughout the United States. Revenues are recognized when services are performed. The Company offers a variety of membership and wellness packages which feature discounted pricing as compared with its single-visit pricing. Amounts collected in advance for membership and wellness packages are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized when the service is performed. Any unused visits associated with monthly memberships are recognized on a month-to-month basis. The Company recognizes a contract liability (or a deferred revenue liability) related to the prepaid treatment plans for which the Company has an ongoing performance obligation. The Company derecognizes this contract liability, and recognizes revenue, as the patient consumes his or her visits related to the package and the Company transfers its services. If the Company determines that it is not subject to unclaimed property laws for the portion of wellness package that it does not expect to be redeemed (referred to as “breakage”) then it recognizes breakage revenue in proportion to the pattern of exercised rights by the patient. Royalties and Advertising Fund Revenue. The Company collects royalties, as stipulated in the franchise agreement, equal to 7% of gross sales, and a marketing and advertising fee currently equal to 2% of gross sales. Royalties, including franchisee contributions to advertising funds, are calculated as a percentage of clinic sales over the term of the franchise agreement. The revenue accounting standard provides an exception for the recognition of sales-based royalties promised in exchange for a license (which generally requires a reporting entity to estimate the amount of variable consideration to which it will be entitled in the transaction price). As the franchise agreement royalties, inclusive of advertising fund contributions, represent sales-based royalties that are related entirely to the Company’s performance obligation under the franchise agreement, such sales-based royalties are recognized as franchisee clinic level sales occur. Royalties are collected semi-monthly, two working days after each sales period has ended. Franchise Fees. The Company requires the entire non-refundable initial franchise fee to be paid upon execution of a franchise agreement, which typically has an initial term of 10 years. Initial franchise fees are recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the term of the franchise agreement. The Company’s services under the franchise agreement include training of franchisees and staff, site selection, construction/vendor management and ongoing operations support. The Company provides no financing to franchisees and offers no guarantees on their behalf. The services provided by the Company are highly interrelated with the franchise license and as such are considered to represent a single performance obligation. Renewal franchise fees, as well as transfer fees, are also recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective franchise agreement. Software Fees. The Company collects a monthly fee from its franchisees for use of its proprietary chiropractic software, computer support and internet services support. These fees are recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective franchise agreement. Capitalized Sales Commissions. Sales commissions earned by the regional developers and the Company’s sales force are considered incremental and recoverable costs of obtaining a franchise agreement with a franchisee. These costs are deferred and then amortized as the respective franchise fees are recognized ratably on a straight-line basis over the term of the franchise agreement. Upfront Regional Developer Rights Fees The Company has a regional developer program where regional developers are granted an exclusive geographical territory and commit to a minimum development obligation within that defined territory. Upon granting of the exclusive rights to develop a territory, a regional developer will pay an upfront fee to the Company. Upfront regional developer fees represent consideration received from a vendor to act as the Company’s agent within an exclusive territory. The upfront regional developer rights fee is accounted for as a reduction of cost of revenues, in franchise and regional development cost of revenues, to offset the respective future commissions paid to the regional developer. The fees are ratably recognized over the term of the related regional developer agreement. Regional developers receive fees which are funded by the initial franchise fees collected from franchisees upon the sale of franchises within their exclusive geographical territory and a royalty of 3% of sales generated by franchised clinics in their exclusive geographical territory. Initial fees related to the sale of franchises within their exclusive geographical territory are initially deferred as deferred franchise costs and are recognized as an expense in franchise cost of revenues when the respective revenue is recognized, which is generally over the term of the related franchise agreement. Royalties of 3% of sales generated by franchised clinics in their regions are also recognized as franchise cost of revenues as franchisee clinic level sales occur. This 3% fee is funded by the 7% royalties we collect from the franchisees in their regions. Certain regional developer agreements result in the regional developer acquiring the rights to existing royalty streams from clinics already open in the respective territory. In those instances, fees collected from the sale of the royalty stream is recognized as a decrease to franchise and regional developer cost of revenues over the remaining life of the respective franchise agreements. Regional Developer Rights Contract Termination Costs From time to time, subject to the Company’s strategy, regional developer rights are reacquired by the Company, resulting in a termination of the contract. The termination costs to reacquire the regional developer rights are recognized at fair value, less any unrecognized upfront regional developer fee liability balance, as a general and administrative expense in the period in which the contract is terminated in accordance with the contract terms and are recorded within general and administrative expenses. |

Income Taxes | Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for using a balance sheet approach known as the asset and liability method. The asset and liability method accounts for deferred income taxes by applying the statutory tax rates in effect at the date of the consolidated balance sheets to differences between the book basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax consequence for those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. The differences relate principally to depreciation of property and equipment and treatment of revenue for franchise fees and regional developer fees collected. Tax positions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted as new information becomes available. The recoverability of deferred tax assets is evaluated by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income from all sources, including reversal of taxable temporary differences, forecasted operating earnings and available tax planning strategies. These estimates of future taxable income inherently require significant judgment. To the extent it is considered more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will be not recovered, a valuation allowance is established. The Company accounts for uncertainty in income taxes by recognizing the tax benefit or expense from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company measures the tax benefits and expenses recognized in the consolidated financial statements from such a position based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. The Company has identified $1.2 million and $1.3 million in uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Interest and penalties associated with tax positions are recorded in the period assessed as general and administrative expenses. With exceptions due to the generation and utilization of net operating losses or credits, as of December 31, 2023, the Company is no longer subject to federal and state examinations by taxing authorities for tax years before 2018 and 2017, respectively. |
(Loss) Earnings per Common Share | (Loss) Earnings per Common Share Basic (loss) earnings per common share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted (loss) earnings per common share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares including restricted stock and stock options. |
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for share-based payments by recognizing compensation expense based upon the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant. The Company determines the estimated grant-date fair value of restricted shares using the closing price on the date of the grant and the grant-date fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. In order to calculate the fair value of the options, certain assumptions are made regarding the components of the model, including risk-free interest rate, volatility, expected dividend yield and expected option life. Changes to the assumptions could cause significant adjustments to the valuation. The Company recognizes compensation costs ratably over the period of service using the straight-line method. Forfeitures are estimated based on historical and forecasted turnover, which is approximately 5%. |
Retirement Benefit Plan | Retirement Benefit Plan |
Loss Contingencies | Loss Contingencies ASC Topic 450 governs the disclosure of loss contingencies and accrual of loss contingencies in respect of litigation and other claims. The Company records an accrual for a potential loss when it is probable that a loss will occur and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. When the reasonable estimate of the potential loss is within a range of amounts, the minimum of the range of potential loss is accrued, unless a higher amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount within the range. Moreover, even if an accrual is not required, the Company provides additional disclosure related to litigation and other claims when it is reasonably possible (i.e., more than remote) that the outcomes of such litigation and other claims include potential material adverse impacts on the Company. Legal costs to be incurred in connection with a loss contingency are expensed as such costs are incurred. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Items subject to significant estimates and assumptions include loss contingencies, share-based compensations, useful lives and realizability of long-lived assets, deferred revenue and revenue recognition related to breakage, deferred franchise costs, calculation of ROU assets and liabilities related to leases, realizability of deferred tax assets, impairment of goodwill, intangible assets, other long-lived assets, and purchase price allocations and related valuations. |
Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance and Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted | Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance and Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities to provide greater disaggregation within their annual rate reconciliation, including new requirements to present reconciling items on a gross basis in specified categories, disclose both percentages and dollar amounts, and disaggregate individual reconciling items by jurisdiction and nature when the effect of the items meet a quantitative threshold. The guidance also requires disaggregating the annual disclosure of income taxes paid, net of refunds received, by federal (national), state, and foreign taxes, with separate presentation of individual jurisdictions that meet a quantitative threshold. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis, with a retrospective option, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires public entities with a single reportable segment to provide all the disclosures required by this standard and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280 on an interim and annual basis, including new requirements to disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and included within the reported measure(s) of a segment's profit or loss, the amount and composition of any other segment items, the title and position of the CODM, and how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of a segment's profit or loss to assess performance and decide how to allocate resources. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024, applied retrospectively with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this standard on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures . |
