Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 43 franchised Dog Haus Fast Casual Restaurants, Dog Haus Biergartens, and Dog Haus Remote Kitchens open for at least one year on December 31, 2024, as included in Tables 1, 4, and 7.
* Calculated overall weighted average gross revenue for 2024 by combining data from Dog Haus Fast Casual Restaurants (12 units, $17,370,823 total sales from Table 1), Dog Haus Biergartens (27 units, $49,862,175 total sales from Table 4), and Dog Haus Remote Kitchens (4 units, $5,191,896 total sales from Table 7). Total units: 12 + 27 + 4 = 43. Total aggregate sales: $17,370,823 + $49,862,175 + $5,191,896 = $72,424,894. Weighted average = $72,424,894 / 43 = $1,684,299.86. The document explicitly states that financial performance representations do not include costs of sales, operating expenses, or other costs/expenses to obtain net income or profit (page 1). Therefore, net income, net profit, EBITDA, and estimated profit ranges cannot be determined. Median gross revenue is provided per category (Tables 1, 4, 7) but not as a single combined overall figure; a true combined median cannot be derived without the full individual sales data.
