Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: Gross revenue (weighted average) and revenue quartile data are based on 104 franchised units (33 Single-Unit and 71 Multi-Unit) that had 12 months of revenue or more and were continuously open for business and operation during the entirety of the 2025 calendar year, as presented in the 'Monthly Average Number of Clients' tables on Pages 4-5. Profit margin data (Owner Discretionary Profit Margin) is based on a separate sample of 66 franchised units (13 Single-Unit and 53 Multi-Unit) that provided Profit & Loss Statements for the 2025 calendar year, as presented in the 'Average Owner Discretionary Profit' tables on Pages 2-3.
* Average gross revenue was calculated as a weighted average from the segmented 2025 Annual Revenue Range data for 104 Combined Single and Multi-Unit Franchisees (Page 5). The calculation used the midpoints of each revenue range: ($250,000 * 19 units + $750,000 * 14 units + $4,500,000 * 63 units + $14,250,000 * 8 units) / (19 + 14 + 63 + 8) = $3,968,750. Revenue top quartile was estimated as the midpoint of the highest revenue range ($8,000,000 to $20,500,000) for 2025 from Page 5: ($8,000,000 + $20,500,000) / 2 = $14,250,000. Revenue bottom quartile was estimated as the midpoint of the lowest revenue range ($0 to $500,000) for 2025 from Page 5: ($0 + $500,000) / 2 = $250,000. Average EBITDA was calculated by applying the average Owner Discretionary Profit Margin of 12.2% (from 66 units on Page 3) to the calculated weighted average gross revenue for 104 units: $3,968,750 * 0.122 = $484,187.50. Owner Discretionary Profit is defined as Net Profit plus owner compensation/benefits, aligning with EBITDA. Best guess profit low was estimated using the weighted average gross revenue of $3,968,750 and the median Owner Discretionary Profit Margin of 10.8% (from 66 units on Page 3): $3,968,750 * 0.108 = $428,625.00. Best guess profit high was estimated using the weighted average gross revenue of $3,968,750 and an assumed high-end margin of 15%: $3,968,750 * 0.15 = $595,312.50. Median gross revenue is set to null as it was not explicitly provided for the 104-unit sample used for weighted average revenue.
