Amorino

Amorino

Amorino franchises upscale retail gelato and sorbet stores, kiosks, or mobile outlets offering authentic gelato and sorbet made with natural high-quality ingredients, along with coffees, hot and cold drinks, candies, chocolates, cakes, cookies, hot chocolates, teas, waffles, crepes, and other baked goods for dine-in and takeout service. The business model involves selling single-unit franchises or area development agreements for multiple outlets, with franchisees sourcing products from approved affiliates. It targets consumers seeking premium frozen desserts and related treats in a cozy, Italian-inspired ambiance, competing in the competitive ice cream and frozen dessert market.

Data Based On: 18 Franchised Stores which were operating the entire year for 2024.

* All figures are for the 2024 Calendar Year. Average Gross Revenue ($1,115,815), Median Gross Revenue ($969,648), High Net Revenues ($2,382,830), and Low Net Revenue ($544,888) are extracted directly from the '2023-2024 Revenue Figures' table on page 1. Average Gross Profit ($758,050), Average Net Income ($127,849), and Average EBITDA ($176,264) are extracted directly from the '2024 Cost Breakdown' table on page 2. EBITDA margin percentage (15.8%) is also from page 2. Revenue top/bottom quartiles are not provided as averages, only the highest and lowest individual revenue figures. Best guess profit low is set to average net income, and best guess profit high is set to average EBITDA as these are explicitly stated profit metrics representing different levels of profitability. Note on P&L inconsistency: The sum of individual expense line items (Payroll, Occupancy, Marketing & Advertising, Other Expenses, Interest Expense, Depreciation & Amort., Taxes) listed in the '2024 Cost Breakdown' table totals $630,201 (as 'Total Expense'). However, calculating Net Revenues - Total Expense ($1,115,815 - $630,201) yields $485,614, which does not match the explicitly stated Average Net Income of $127,849. The EBITDA calculation does reconcile with the stated Net Income plus add-backs ($127,849 + $5,239 Interest Expense + $12,961 Depreciation & Amort. + $30,214 Taxes = $176,263, closely matching the stated EBITDA of $176,264). Due to this inconsistency, explicitly labeled Net Income and EBITDA values from the table are used.
