Financial Performance


Item 19 Financial Performance

Data Based On: 111 EarthWise Pet franchisee-owned stores that met criteria (open for at least 12 months as of September 30, 2024, open all months during that fiscal year, and reported sufficient information) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024.

* The document provides historical financial performance representations for EarthWise Pet franchisee-owned stores, broken down by sales categories (Retail Sales, Grooming/Bathing Sales, Self-Wash Sales). It explicitly states that 'Some stores have sales in two or more of the three sales categories and therefore are included in multiple representations,' and the 'Total Stores' count for each category differs (e.g., Retail Sales for 111 stores, Grooming/Bathing Sales for 67 stores, Self-Wash Sales for 54 stores). Due to this overlapping nature and differing sample sizes per category, a reliable overall average gross revenue per franchise unit, combining all revenue streams, cannot be accurately calculated from the provided historical data. Therefore, average gross revenue, median gross revenue, and revenue quartiles for total gross revenue per unit are set to null. The document also includes pro forma (projected) financial performance for single units, but these are not used for extracting historical average performance metrics across a sample of stores. No historical gross profit, net income, net profit, or EBITDA figures are provided for the sample of franchised units.
