Average Gross Revenue

Median Gross Revenue

Data Based On: 149 franchised D-BAT Facilities open for the full 2024 calendar year.

* The data provided average gross revenue and median gross revenue for seven different revenue streams, segmented by three facility size categories. To calculate the overall average and median gross revenue per facility, the average/median revenue from all streams within each facility size category was summed. Then, a weighted average/median was calculated across all facility size categories using the number of facilities in each category. Average Gross Revenue per category: - Under 15,000 sq. ft.: $651,558 (sum of average revenue streams) - Over 15,000 to 19,500 sq. ft.: $1,065,046 (sum of average revenue streams) - Greater than 19,500 sq. ft.: $1,237,102 (sum of average revenue streams) Median Gross Revenue per category: - Under 15,000 sq. ft.: $540,280 (sum of median revenue streams) - Over 15,000 to 19,500 sq. ft.: $920,688 (sum of median revenue streams) - Greater than 19,500 sq. ft.: $1,037,123 (sum of median revenue streams) Weighted Average Gross Revenue Calculation: (44 units × $651,558 + 51 units × $1,065,046 + 54 units × $1,237,102) / 149 total units = $1,005,298.03. Weighted Median Gross Revenue Calculation: (44 units × $540,280 + 51 units × $920,688 + 54 units × $1,037,123) / 149 total units = $850,550.67. No information regarding net income, net profit, EBITDA, or expense data was provided within Item 19 to estimate a profit range or margins.
