CARD MY YARD
Card My Yard franchises operate yard greeting businesses that provide services for setting up and displaying festive yard signs and customized messages designed for temporary display in front of customers’ homes and businesses to commemorate and celebrate events and occasions of all kinds. Franchisees use the franchisor's proprietary business operating system, including methods, procedures, manuals, standards, and marks, typically from a home office with garage storage. The target market consists of homeowners, renters, and businesses with yards seeking luxury lifestyle purchases in a developing market influenced by consumer tastes and economic conditions.

Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 505 franchised Card My Yard businesses that were in operation throughout the entire Reporting Period (calendar year 2023), open for at least 12 months, excluding locations that ceased operation in 2024 or opened less than 12 months.
* Average gross revenue and median gross revenue are directly extracted from the 'System (all franchise locations over 1 year old)' row in Table 1 (page 2), which represents 505 franchised units. The document explicitly states that the 'Estimated Gross Profit' figures (Table 5, page 5) do not include all operating expenses (e.g., wages, costs of goods sold, vehicle maintenance costs, insurance, local marketing expenses, marketing fees, utilities, and various other expenses). Therefore, net income, net profit, EBITDA, and related margins or profit ranges cannot be reliably determined from the provided data and are set to null.
