Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 4 single territory franchisees and 9 multiple territory franchisees, representing a total of 28 territories, open for business for all of calendar year 2025.
* Overall average gross revenue per territory for 2025 was calculated as a weighted average using the provided data: (4 single territories * $517,606 average revenue) + (9 multiple territory franchisees * $805,211 average revenue per franchisee for 24 territories) / 28 total territories = $332,761.54, rounded to $332,762. Median gross revenue per territory could not be reliably determined as the median for multiple territories was reported per franchisee, not per territory. Average gross profit was calculated as 79% of the overall average gross revenue: $332,761.54 * 0.79 = $262,881.61, rounded to $262,882. Average net profit was estimated as (Average Gross Profit - Average Labor Cost), where Average Labor Cost is 23% of Average Gross Revenue: $262,881.61 - ($332,761.54 * 0.23) = $186,346.46, rounded to $186,346. Best guess profit range was estimated as (Gross Profit Percentage - Labor Cost Percentage) * Average Gross Revenue, using the extreme values for percentages provided in the document: - High profit scenario: (96% Gross Profit - 16% Labor Cost) * $332,761.54 = $266,209.23, rounded to $266,209. - Low profit scenario: (58% Gross Profit - 45% Labor Cost) * $332,761.54 = $43,259.00, rounded to $43,259.
