Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 119 franchised Image360 Centers in operation for at least one full calendar year as of December 31, 2024, from Section B. Operating ratio data used for margins and EBITDA range is based on a separate sample of 65 participating franchised centers.
* Average gross revenue and median gross revenue are taken directly from the 'All Franchised Image360 Centers' row in Section B, Table 'ANNUAL GROSS SALES'. Revenue top quartile is taken from the 'Top 50%' average, and revenue bottom quartile from the 'Bottom 50%' average in Section B, as these are the closest segments available. EBITDA margin is taken from the 'Average' EBITDA percentage in Section C, 'OPERATING RATIO STUDY'. Average EBITDA is calculated by multiplying the average gross revenue ($861,750) by the average EBITDA margin (19.07%). Best guess profit low and high are estimated using the lowest (-2.97%) and highest (54.18%) EBITDA percentages from the 'Range' column in Section C, applied to the overall average gross revenue ($861,750). EBITDA is considered a proxy for profit for this estimation given the available data.
