Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 3 franchised Aloha Poke Co. Restaurants that were open for the full 2024 Fiscal Year.
* Average gross revenue, median gross revenue, revenue top quartile, and revenue bottom quartile are directly extracted from page 1 for the 3 franchised units. Best guess profit range is estimated for franchised units with an average gross revenue of $323,756. This estimation assumes a 'Restaurant Profit (EBITDA)' margin (before royalties, marketing, and technology fees) between 20% and 30% of gross sales, based on the 25.7% 'Restaurant Profit (EBITDA)' margin observed in the affiliate-owned Suburban & Urban Restaurants (page 3). Franchisee-specific costs of 5% royalties, 2% marketing expense (both based on gross sales), and a fixed $3,600 annual technology fee ($300/month) are then subtracted. Low estimate: ($323,756 * 0.20) - ($323,756 * 0.05) - ($323,756 * 0.02) - $3,600 = $38,488.28. High estimate: ($323,756 * 0.30) - ($323,756 * 0.05) - ($323,756 * 0.02) - $3,600 = $70,863.88.
