Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: Financial performance representation based on historical information from 25 franchised Fireside RV Rental Locations operational and reporting sales for the entire year 2023, and 37 franchised Fireside RV Rental Locations operational and reporting sales for the entire year 2024.
* The document provides a table showing 'AVERAGE RENTAL LENGTH AND AMOUNT', with 'Rent' figures of $1,510.72 (2024) and $1,351.40 (2023). These values represent average revenue per rental transaction, not average gross revenue per franchise unit annually, and are therefore not used for average_gross_revenue. The document explicitly states that these rental incomes do not reflect expenses and that expenses will vary widely, without providing any quantitative data (percentages or ranges) for expenses or profit margins. As a result, average net income, average net profit, average EBITDA, and best-guess profit ranges cannot be calculated.
