LICE CLINICS OF AMERICA
Lice Clinics of America franchises operate lice-treatment businesses offering screening, diagnosis, non-chemical treatments using the proprietary AirAllé heated-air device, and related products from physical clinics and optional satellite locations within exclusive territories. The franchisor, Larada Sciences, Inc., began franchising in 2013 after transitioning from device rentals and licensing, fully adopting a franchise model in 2017 to provide greater marketing support and brand consistency. Target customers are individuals and families seeking professional lice removal services, competing with OTC products and prescriptions, with peak demand in fall months.

Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 81 outlets operating from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025, including 80 franchised units and 1 company-owned unit.
* Calculated weighted average revenue for 80 franchised units, excluding one corporate-owned unit in the 3rd Quartile. Original 3rd Quartile (20 units, avg $198,394) total sales = $3,967,880. Corporate unit sales = $194,491. Adjusted 3rd Quartile franchised sales = $3,967,880 - $194,491 = $3,773,389 for 19 units. Adjusted 3rd Quartile average sales = $3,773,389 / 19 = $198,599.42. Weighted average: (21×$467378 + 20×$283868 + 19×$198599.42 + 20×$96358) / 80 = $264910.59. Median gross revenue is the average of the 2nd and 3rd Quartile medians: ($286448 + $205696) / 2 = $246072.00.
