Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 21 franchised ManageMowed businesses and 5 Company Operated Businesses in operation for the full 2024 calendar year.
* Calculated weighted average revenue for franchised businesses: (13 units × $396,221 + 4 units × $224,611 + 4 units × $57,012) / 21 total units = $298,922.14. Estimated weighted average profit (operating profit before interest/taxes): Expenses were calculated as a percentage of average gross sales for each segment. For example, for businesses operating 'More Than 3 Years': 57% Vendors + 2% Job Materials + 1% Insurance + 1% Local Advertising + 8% Royalty + 2% National Brand Fund + 1% Software/Office + 1% Travel = 73% total expenses. This expense percentage was applied to the average gross sales of each segment to determine an estimated dollar expense. Estimated profit for each segment was calculated as Average Gross Sales - Estimated Dollar Expenses. Weighted average profit was then calculated using the number of businesses in each segment: (13 units × $106,979.67 + 4 units × $76,367.74 + 4 units × $5,131.08) / 21 total units = $81,749.09.
