Data Based On: Data for 32 franchised offices operating as of December 31, 2025, that had been operating for at least 12 months.

* Calculated weighted average gross revenue for 2025 using segment averages and office counts from the 'Franchise Annual Office Revenue Bands (by Quartile)' table: (8 offices * $80,320 (Low 25%) + 16 offices * $282,544 (Mid 50%) + 8 offices * $873,473 (High 25%)) / 32 total offices = $379,720.25.

Revenue for the top quartile is the average for the 'High 25%' segment ($873,473), and for the bottom quartile, it's the average for the 'Low 25%' segment ($80,320).
