Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: Data based on one Operating Company Store open for 12 months ending April 30, 2025, located in Los Angeles, California.
* All financial performance figures are based on the data for the single company-owned Operating Company Store for the period May 2024 - April 2025, as presented in Table 1 on page 2. This is used as per the rule to use company data if no franchise data exists. Average gross revenue, gross profit, and net income are directly from Table 1. Average net profit is taken from Table 1's 'Net Income After Deduction of Royalty Fee and Technology Fee (Note 7)', which is adjusted to represent a franchisee's profit after imputed royalty and technology fees. A best-guess profit range (low/high) was not calculated as the document did not provide explicit variability or expense ranges for a franchisee to derive such estimates from the single reported net profit figure.
