Data Based On: Data represents 170 franchised FIX AUTO Shops open and operating as of the end of the 2024 Fiscal Year, separated into top performing 50% and bottom performing 50% based on average Gross Sales.

* Average Gross Revenue ($3,183,710) and Median Gross Revenue ($2,741,145) extracted directly from the 'Gross Sales and KPIs' table for 'all FIX AUTO Shops' on page 2. Revenue Top Quartile ($4,486,929) is the 'Average Gross Sales' for the 'Top 50%' segment, and Revenue Bottom Quartile ($1,880,492) is the 'Average Gross Sales' for the 'Bottom 50%' segment, both from the same table on page 2. A weighted average calculation using the 85 units for Bottom 50% and 85 units for Top 50% confirmed the overall average gross sales: (85 * 1880492 + 85 * 4486929) / (85 + 85) = 3183710.5. The document explicitly states on page 6 that 'The financial performance representations figures do not reflect the costs of sales, operating expenses, or other costs or expenses that must be deducted from the Gross Sales figures to obtain your net income or profit,' hence all profit-related fields (gross profit, net income, net profit, EBITDA, and best guess profit ranges) are set to null.
