MAGNOLIA BAKERY

MAGNOLIA BAKERY

Magnolia Bakery franchises retail stores specializing in classic American desserts like banana pudding, cupcakes, cakes, pies, and cheesecakes, along with coffee, tea, beverages, and related merchandise such as consumer packaged goods and apparel. They operate in two formats: Flagship Stores with on-site production and smaller No-Bake Stores using off-site production, offering take-away, delivery, limited seating, catering, and event services. The business model grants franchises to use their proprietary system, trademarks, and operating procedures in high-traffic urban and suburban locations, targeting dessert enthusiasts, event planners, and the general public.

Financial Performance


Item 19 Financial Performance

Average Gross Revenue
$988,503
EBITDA Margin
22%
Average EBITDA
$218,220.43

Data Based On: One franchised Bakery operating at a Non-Traditional Location at LaGuardia Airport in Queens, New York, open for the full Reporting Period.

* Average EBITDA calculated for the franchised unit ($988,503 revenue) by applying the weighted average EBITDA margin (around 22.08%) of all ten affiliate-owned bakeries to the franchised unit's average gross revenue. The weighted average affiliate EBITDA margin was derived as (Total EBITDA for 8 Flagship stores + Total EBITDA for 2 No-Bake stores) / (Total Revenue for 8 Flagship stores + Total Revenue for 2 No-Bake stores) = ($10,144,017 / $45,950,744). Best guess profit range (low and high) for the franchised unit was estimated by applying the lowest (10.43% from 1 Los Angeles Flagship Bakery) and highest (25.74% from 1 Chicago Flagship Bakery) observed individual EBITDA margins from the affiliate-owned bakeries to the franchised unit's average gross revenue ($988,503). Note 3 states 'The characteristics of the Affiliate-owned Bakeries reflected in this financial performance representation do not differ materially from those of new Bakeries developed by our franchisees,' justifying the use of affiliate data for estimation.
