Data Based On: Financial performance data is presented for Representative Mr. Transmission and Milex Service Centers for Calendar Year 2024. Sales Table 1-A includes data from 71 centers. GPM Table 2-A includes profit and loss data from 34 centers that submitted profit and loss statements. The sample size for profit figures (34 units) is used as the primary 'poc_number' and 'poc_franchise_count'.

* Average Gross Revenue ($884,923.46) and Median Gross Revenue ($844,447.96) were taken directly from the 'TOTAL' row of Sales Table 1-A. Revenue Top Quartile ($1,501,454.01) was taken from the 'Average Gross Sales' of 'Range 1 - $1,000,000 and above' in Sales Table 1-A. Revenue Bottom Quartile ($388,854.55) was taken from the 'Average Gross Sales' of 'Range 3 - $599,999 and below' in Sales Table 1-A. Average Gross Profit ($553,620.02) was taken directly from the 'TOTAL' row of GPM Table 2-A. The document explicitly states that other expenses (rent, royalty fees, advertising, taxes, start-up costs, insurance) are not included in Average Cost of Goods, and no further information or ranges for these expenses are provided to estimate net income, net profit, or EBITDA. Therefore, 'best_guess_profit_low' and 'best_guess_profit_high' cannot be determined.
