Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 59 fully-reporting franchised Mainstream Boutique® Businesses who were in operation for at least 12 months as of December 31, 2024
* Calculated weighted average revenue: (15 units × $853,178 + 15 units × $502,232 + 14 units × $340,334 + 15 units × $223,537) / 59 total units = $482,184.42. Estimated median revenue by averaging the median net revenues of the two middle segments: ($497,347 + $337,453) / 2 = $417,400. The FDD explicitly states that the financial performance representations do not reflect the cost of revenues, operating expenses, or other costs or expenses to obtain net income or profit, hence net income, net profit, EBITDA, and profit range estimates are set to null.
