Data Based On: 494 franchised Same Stores that were in operation for at least 12 full months as of August 31, 2025.

* Average gross revenue ($935,755) was directly extracted from Table A-2 'Franchised Same Stores' on Page 7, which represents the overall average for 494 franchised stores. This value was consistent with the weighted average calculated from segmented data on Page 4 (255 stores at $1,044,798 and 239 stores at $819,412). Median gross revenue ($811,364), revenue for the top quartile ($1,608,969), and revenue for the bottom quartile ($491,356) were also directly extracted from Table A-2 'Franchised Same Stores' on Page 7. Average gross profit was calculated by multiplying the average gross revenue ($935,755) by the Merchandise Margin Percentage (51.6%) for Same Stores (494 stores), as stated on Page 2, which yielded $482,849.58. No data for net income, net profit, or EBITDA for franchised stores was explicitly provided.
