Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: Financial performance data is based on 288 franchised businesses (156 US Franchisees from Page 3 and 132 FlywheelDBA Franchisees from Page 5) operating in the U.S. for more than one day and made any gross sales at any point during the 12-month period ending on December 31, 2024.
* Weighted average gross revenue was calculated by combining data from two tables: 'US Franchisees' (Page 3) and 'FLYWHEELDBA Locations Operated as Franchisees' (Page 5). For US Franchisees, 156 units provided data across different operating durations: - 61 units with an average revenue of $220,855.941 - 86 units with an average revenue of $511,647.350 - 6 units with an average revenue of $543,226.000 - 2 units with an average revenue of $422,996.620 - 1 unit with an average revenue of $924,943.227 This resulted in a weighted average of $400,667.80 for US Franchisees. For FlywheelDBA Franchisees, 132 units provided data across different operating durations: - 92 units with an average revenue of $4,297,376.337 - 40 units with an average revenue of $5,199,758.000 This resulted in a weighted average of $4,570,825.33 for FlywheelDBA Franchisees. The overall average gross revenue was then calculated as a weighted average of these two groups: (156 units * $400,667.80) + (132 units * $4,570,825.33) / (156 + 132) = $2,311,990.00. Similarly, the overall weighted average median gross revenue was calculated to be $2,213,015.44. Note: The total number of franchisees used in these calculations (288 units) differs from the introductory text on Page 1, which states '147 Franchised Businesses (105 unaffiliated franchisees and 42 Flywheel DBA franchisees)' for the same period. The calculation relies on the unit counts and average/median revenues directly presented within the detailed tables.
