Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: Data for gross revenue, gross profit, net profit, and EBITDA is based on 108 franchised territories in operation for the entire 2023 fiscal year that reported a profit and loss statement through QuickBooks. Median gross revenue is based on 121 territories for 2023.
* Average gross revenue, average gross profit, and average EBITDA were calculated as weighted averages across four quartiles (each with 27 territories, total 108 territories) from Table 5. The weighted average was derived by summing the average for each quartile and dividing by 4, as each quartile contained an equal number of territories. Average net profit was taken directly from the 'TOTAL SYSTEM' row in Table 4 for 108 territories. EBITDA margin percentage was calculated as average_ebitda / average_gross_revenue. Revenue top quartile and revenue bottom quartile are the 'Total Average Gross Revenue' from Quartile 1 and Quartile 4, respectively, as presented in Table 5. Median gross revenue was taken from the 'TOTAL SYSTEM' row of Table 3, which is based on 121 territories for 2023, while other averages are based on 108 territories (Tables 4 and 5).

Picture transforming summer leisure into a year-round revenue stream by servicing America's obsession with backyard pools. Since franchising in 2006, America's Swimming Pool Company has grown to 375 locations under the Authority Brands umbrella, leveraging proprietary tools like Pool Ops software in a market ripe for maintenance pros. Item 19 unveils compelling revenue snapshots amid seasonal swings and competition—but with an EBITDA margin signaling slim profits, is this a splashy investment or a drain on capital? Unlock the data to discover if the numbers float your boat.
Item 7 lays out the financial entry: initial investment spans $84,395 to $207,368, including a $40,000 franchise fee, with ongoing costs like tiered royalties (7% on first $100K gross revenue, dropping to 6% up to $250K and 5% above), 1% brand fund, and $876 monthly tech/website/call center fees. Item 19 performance data shines brightly here—average gross revenue hits $858,122 across units, though median lags at $588,095, hinting at top performers skewing the average. Yet the 0% EBITDA margin underscores razor-thin profitability after expenses, demanding tight operations in this home services niche targeting homeowners and commercial clients for cleaning, repairs, renovations, and new builds.
System vitality shows steady expansion from 364 to 375 locations (+3% growth), with 31 projected new units, but 20 terminations and 23 transfers last year raise flags on retention amid one noted franchisor litigation for breach and collections. Backed by Apax Partners via parent Authority Brands, the proprietary system offers training and standards, yet seasonal demand in pool-heavy regions amplifies risks. Buyers eyeing this should probe Item 20 trends deeper, validate local market saturation, and scrutinize how Pool Ops drives efficiency against that 0% margin reality.
