Data Based On: 51 franchisees in operation for the entire 2024 fiscal year as reported in Table 3, 'GROSS REVENUE PER FRANCHISEE, BY QUARTILE'.

* Average gross revenue is taken directly from the 'TOTALS' row of Table 3, 'Average Gross Revenue of Franchisees in Group'. This value was verified by calculating the weighted average of aggregate gross revenue by the number of franchisees across all quartiles. Top quartile revenue is the 'Average Gross Revenue of Franchisees in Group' for the 'Top 25%' segment. Bottom quartile revenue is the 'Average Gross Revenue of Franchisees in Group' for the 'Bottom 25%' segment. Median gross revenue is taken directly from the 'TOTALS' row of Table 3, 'Median Gross Revenue of Franchisees in Group'. No data for net income, net profit, EBITDA, or expense information was provided, so related profit fields are null.
