Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 898 franchised HomeVestors Businesses in the United States that were operating through all 12 months of the Year 2024.
* The document provides 'Gross Price Differential' defined as 'total sales prices less total purchase prices'. This is a form of gross profit from property transactions. Given that this is the primary top-line financial metric presented for individual franchise performance and no explicit 'gross revenue' is provided, the 'Gross Price Differential' values have been mapped to the 'average_gross_revenue', 'median_gross_revenue', 'revenue_top_quartile', and 'revenue_bottom_quartile' fields. 'Average Gross Price Differential' for 'All Covered Franchises' ($616,948) is used for 'average_gross_revenue'. A weighted average calculation using the quartile data (225 units at $1,737,830; 224 units at $539,984; 225 units at $185,009; 224 units at $1,894) yields $616,948.16, confirming the aggregate figure. 'Median Gross Price Differential' for 'All Covered Franchises' ($344,550) is used for 'median_gross_revenue'. 'Average Gross Price Differential' for 'Top Quartile' ($1,737,830) is used for 'revenue_top_quartile'. 'Average Gross Price Differential' for 'Bottom Quartile' ($1,894) is used for 'revenue_bottom_quartile'. A footnote clarifies that for the 25 out of 224 businesses in this quartile that did sell properties, their average Gross Price Differential was $18,311. However, the $1,894 represents the average across the entire bottom quartile of 224 businesses, including those with zero or negative differential. Fields for net income, net profit, and EBITDA are null as the 'Gross Price Differential' explicitly excludes many significant operating expenses (e.g., repair costs, advertising, commissions, taxes, labor, royalties, etc.), and no other figures or percentages are provided to calculate these metrics. Consequently, 'best_guess_profit_low' and 'best_guess_profit_high' are also set to null due to insufficient expense data beyond advertising spend.
