Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 286 Reporting Territories (72 Single Reporting Territories and 214 territories across 76 Multi-Territory Reporting Groups) open for the full year 2024.
* Financial data is provided for 286 Reporting Territories, consisting of 72 Single Reporting Territories and 214 territories across 76 Multi-Territory Reporting Groups. All calculations for averages are weighted by the number of territories. For Single Reporting Territories (Tables 1-4), the 'Average' values for Total Revenue, Gross Profit, and Owner Discretionary Income were taken directly, as these represent individual units. For Multi-Territory Reporting Groups (Tables 5-8), the 'Average' values were initially provided per reporting owner/group. To obtain per-territory averages, each 'Average' value per group was multiplied by the number of owners (19 per quartile) and then divided by the 'Number of Territories' for that quartile (e.g., (Avg Revenue per Group * 19 Owners) / Total Territories in Quartile). Weighted averages for Total Revenue, Gross Profit, and Owner Discretionary Income (used as proxy for Net Profit as per Footnote 9) were calculated by summing the product of each quartile's per-territory average and its respective number of territories, then dividing by the total number of territories (286). - Weighted Average Total Revenue: ((18 * $760,107) + (18 * $477,307) + (18 * $351,332) + (18 * $242,018) + (62 * $391,776.63) + (58 * $232,449.60) + (51 * $201,239.06) + (43 * $130,059.42)) / 286 = $302,733.31 - Weighted Average Gross Profit: ((18 * $370,527) + (18 * $222,116) + (18 * $175,371) + (18 * $132,956) + (62 * $193,400.92) + (58 * $119,994.50) + (51 * $112,524.71) + (43 * $60,788.07)) / 286 = $152,169.77 - Weighted Average Net Profit (Owner Discretionary Income): ((18 * $105,450) + (18 * $37,639) + (18 * $21,750) + (18 * $29,913) + (62 * $56,671.18) + (58 * $42,248.47) + (51 * $27,015.02) + (43 * $7,177.58)) / 286 = $39,006.86 'Revenue of top quartile' is the highest average total revenue reported for any single quartile segment, which is $760,107 from the Single Reporting Territories Top Quartile. 'Revenue of bottom quartile' is the lowest average total revenue per territory reported for any single quartile segment, which is $130,059.42 from the Multi-Territory Reporting Groups Bottom Quartile.
