Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 60 U.S. and international Franchisees that were active on a full-time basis during the fiscal year January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025.
* Weighted average gross revenue was calculated using the average gross sales for each of the four percentile groups (75th-99.99th, 50th-74.99th, 25th-49.99th, 0-24.99th) from Chart 1, with 15 franchisees in each group as stated in Footnote (8). The calculated weighted average ($239,272.68) is consistent with the 'Combined Average - U.S. and International Franchisees' ($239,272.69) provided in Chart 1. The average and median gross revenue for the 'Combined Average' row were used for the overall average_gross_revenue and median_gross_revenue. Average gross sales for the 75th-99.99th percentile and 0-24.99th percentile were used for revenue_top_quartile and revenue_bottom_quartile respectively. No per-unit profit or EBITDA data was provided; Chart 5 shows gross margin per participant, not per franchise unit.

What if your franchise tapped into the endless demand for better leaders in corporate America? Crestcom's model revolves around facilitated video training programs like L.E.A.D.R., serving everyone from startups to Fortune 500s. Item 19 unveils revenue stats across its network that spotlight wide performance gaps—could you crack the code to outperform the median?
Item 7 lays out a lean startup: $75,000 franchise fee within a total investment of $91,850-$104,919, covering training materials and video tech setup. Ongoing costs sting with a 19.75% royalty on gross revenues, plus a flat $875 monthly distribution fee and $45-48/month for CRM software after the first year. Item 19 financials for 2026 FDD show average gross revenue at $239,273 but a median of $158,205, meaning half the 168 units fall below that—top performers likely dominate sales to big clients, while others grind on smaller deals. No profit figures disclosed, so EBITDA margins depend on controlling low overhead in this home-based B2B play.
Stability shines in low churn: just 3 terminations and 2 non-renewals last year, alongside 6 system transfers signaling owner mobility. Projected 24 new units points to expansion momentum from Greenwood Village HQ. High royalties erode margins on that $239K average, potentially leaving 20-30% take-home after fees if expenses stay under 50%, but revenue variability demands strong sales hustle. Buyers eyeing business services should probe client retention rates and marketing support to gauge scalability beyond the median.
