Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: One franchised outlet in Centennial, CO operated for the full calendar year 2025.
* Calculated average_gross_revenue by summing the 2025 quarterly revenues for the Centennial, CO franchised outlet: $16760 + $17360 + $21730 + $31190 = $87040. Best guess profit range calculated based on this gross revenue, with expenses including 10% (8% Royalty + 2% Brand Fund) of gross revenue, plus local advertising. Local advertising is $500 per month per territory, applied annually. For best_guess_profit_high, assumed 1 territory for advertising expenses: $87040 - (10% * $87040) - (1 * $500 * 12) = $72336.0. For best_guess_profit_low, assumed 5 territories for advertising expenses: $87040 - (10% * $87040) - (5 * $500 * 12) = $48336.0.
