Data Based On: 611 Home Instead U.S. Franchised Businesses in operation as of December 31, 2025

* Average Gross Revenue and Median Gross Revenue were directly extracted from the '2025 Gross Sales for Franchised Businesses' table on page 3. Revenue Top Quartile and Revenue Bottom Quartile were calculated using a weighted average based on the '2025 Gross Sales Territory Tenure' table on page 2.

For the bottom 25% (152.75 units), the calculation was: (12 units * $250,000 [midpoint for $0-$0.5M] + 39 units * $750,000 [midpoint for $0.5M-$1M] + 101.75 units * $1,250,000 [midpoint for $1M-$1.5M]) / 152.75 units = $1,043,780.69.
