Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: Data for 844 franchised Baskin-Robbins Restaurants (referred to as '2024 Franchised Restaurants') for the 2024 fiscal year (January 1, 2024, to December 29, 2024). The data includes average unit volumes (AUVs) grouped by quartiles and by restaurant type (Traditional vs. Non-Traditional/SDOs).
* Average gross revenue is the stated 'Average Unit Volume' for all 2024 Franchised Restaurants ($532,682) as presented in tables on page 2 and page 3. This value is consistent with the weighted average of the Average Unit Volumes for each of the four quartiles (844 units total, 211 units per quartile): (211 * $822,152 + 211 * $579,293 + 211 * $462,587 + 211 * $266,694) / 844 = $532,681.5. Top and bottom quartile revenues are the stated Average Unit Volumes for the 1st ($822,152) and 4th ($266,694) quartiles, respectively, from the table on page 2. The median gross revenue is the stated median for 'All Franchised Restaurants' ($521,177) from the table on page 3. No net income, net profit, EBITDA, or profit range could be calculated as the document explicitly states in Item 19, Section (4) on page 4 that the AUV figures do not reflect the costs of sales, operating expenses, or other costs/expenses to obtain net income or profit.
