Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 7 franchised Hi-Five Sports Clubs and 1 affiliate-owned Hi-Five Sports Club operational for the entire reporting period from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024, included in Part 1 results.
* Calculated average gross revenue for 7 FPR Franchised Hi-Five Sports Clubs for the 2024 reporting period (January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024): ($212,789 + $72,974 + $456,723 + $54,435 + $653,353 + $839,219 + $171,242) / 7 = $351,533.57. The document explicitly states that the information provided does not include the cost of sales and operating expenses, therefore, net income, net profit, EBITDA, and profit range cannot be calculated. Data for 3 franchised Hi-Five Sports Zones for 2024 was also available (average $257,947.00) but not used for the primary average gross revenue reported.

Youth sports franchises like Hi-Five Sports Zone promise fun entry into kids' activities, blending mobile classes at schools with fixed-facility leagues and camps. Item 19 earnings data uncovers performance realities for these low-barrier operations, while a handful of SBA loans signals how owners are financing builds. Does this shrinking system hide scalability issues or setup bargains?
Item 7 outlines a lean startup: franchise fee of $15,900 leads into total investments of $28,450-$59,350, far below sports facility norms where $500K+ is common due to no massive buildouts for the Sports Club model. Ongoing fees bite at 8.5% royalty plus 1% ad fund and $155 monthly tech/design charge, totaling around 10% of sales. Item 19 shines with average gross revenues of $351,534 across locations, suggesting solid $200K+ net potential after costs if margins hold 40-60% typical for programs—but verify with FDD Item 20 for expenses.
System maturity lags at 10 franchise locations plus 3 corporates since 2015, yet 2023's 10 units shrank to 8 in 2024 (-20% contraction) amid 2 terminations, raising red flags on retention. Projected 11 new units show franchisor optimism, backed by 2 SBA loans averaging $123,950, likely for Sports Zone leases. For hands-on operators in suburbs with school access, low entry tempts, but monitor litigation-free FDD for renewal risks amid youth sports volatility.
