Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 202 Franchisees that operated Lawn Doctor Businesses for 2 Full Years or More as of December 31, 2025.
* Average gross revenue for 2025 and median gross revenue for 2025 were directly extracted from Table A on Page 3, representing 'All territories included (per Franchisee)'. Revenue top and bottom quartiles were not explicitly provided as averages of performance-based segments. Average gross profit was calculated by multiplying the Average Net Revenues for 2024 ($1,130,477 from Table D on Page 5) by the Average Gross Profit Margin for 2024 (86.6% or 0.866 from Table C on Page 4). The calculation is $1,130,477 * 0.866 = $978,993.08. Other profit metrics (net income, net profit, EBITDA, and their ranges) could not be determined due to insufficient information regarding all operating expenses beyond material costs, royalty, and marketing. Page 5 explicitly states that 'The numbers reported above do not reflect the costs of sales, operating expenses, or other costs or expenses that must be deducted from the Net Revenues figures to obtain your net income or profit.'
