Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 51 Franchised Locations and one Affiliate Location that had been open for at least 12 months as of December 31, 2024 ('Reporting Group').
* Calculated weighted average gross revenue for the 52 units in the Reporting Group by taking the weighted average of the average net revenues per segment as provided in Table 7. Segments and their average revenues: OPEN 10+ YEARS (2 units at $1,258,679), OPEN 5+ YEARS (7 units at $919,994), OPEN 3-5 YEARS (10 units at $672,845), OPEN 2-3 YEARS (16 units at $505,240), OPEN 1-2 YEARS (17 units at $320,249). Formula: (2*1258679 + 7*919994 + 10*672845 + 16*505240 + 17*320249) / 52 = $561,805. Median gross revenue, revenue top quartile, and revenue bottom quartile were calculated from the list of all 52 individual unit 2024 Net Revenues (1 Affiliate + 51 Franchised) as extracted from Table 1 and Table 2. Median is the middle value of the sorted list. Top/bottom quartiles are the average of the top/bottom 25% (13 units) of sorted revenues. Net income, net profit, and EBITDA information was indicated to be in Tables 8-13, which were not provided in the document. Therefore, these values and estimated profit ranges are set to null.

Picture a franchise where dogs romp in interactive playgrounds while owners enjoy peace of mind—Hounds Town USA has carved this niche since 2008 amid the pet parenting boom. Item 19 delivers revenue snapshots from real units, and a thick stack of SBA loans signals franchisees' access to capital. Yet with locations surging and low drama in the system, does this pack deliver alpha returns for investors ready to lead?
Financial entry demands seriousness: Item 7 pegs total investment at $475,875 to $1,278,489, kicked off by a $49,000 franchise fee. Monthly bites include 6% royalties on gross sales, 2% brand fund, $300-$333 technology fee, $125 local ad management, and $125 annual reunion deposit. Item 19 shines brightly here, reporting average gross revenue of $561,805 and median of $531,750 across existing units—solid benchmarks in pet services, suggesting potential for six-figure top lines once ramped up, though profitability hinges on local traffic and ops efficiency.
Growth metrics paint a tail-wagging picture: units jumped 39% from 54 in 2023 to 75 in 2024, with 24 new ones projected and just 2 terminations plus 4 transfers showing stability. Eighty SBA loans averaging $560,880 underscore lender confidence and financing feasibility for qualified buyers. For evaluators, probe Item 20 trends deeply, compare these revenues to overheads for EBITDA estimates, and scrutinize territory availability—Hounds Town USA's momentum could fetch strong multiples on exit if you nail the dog-day execution.
