Item 19 Financial Performance

Average Gross Revenue
$726,183.06
Average Net Profit
$152,829.74
Average Gross Profit
$358,228.72

Data Based On: Six Reporting Franchised Businesses open and operational for the entirety of the 2025 calendar year.

* Calculated weighted average for 6 Reporting Franchised Businesses: - Average Gross Revenue: Sum of Total Revenue for all 6 businesses / 6 = $726,183.06. - Average Gross Profit: (Sum of Total Revenue - Sum of Total Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)) for all 6 businesses / 6 = $358,228.72. - Average Net Profit: (Sum of 'Gross Revenue Less COGS, Other Disclosed Expenses & Imputed Fees') for all 6 businesses / 6 = $152,829.74. Note that per Section F of Item 19, this figure for 'Average Net Profit' does not include all operating expenses (e.g., office supplies, equipment costs, telephone, computer systems, certain required insurance, accounting fees, payroll taxes, bank charges, repairs and maintenance, meals and entertainment, owners' compensations, and draws). Therefore, this value may overstate actual net profit, and best-guess profit ranges could not be accurately estimated due to lack of information on these additional expenses.
