Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: Data from 197 Operators representing 417 franchised businesses, which were all in operation and reporting sales during the entire Reporting Period (January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024).
* The document provides financial performance representations under 'ITEM 19. FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE REPRESENTATIONS.' and includes tables for 'Average and Median Gross Sales Per Cleaning' and 'Average and Median Gross Sales Per Target Household'. However, the document does not provide the 'Average Gross Revenue per franchise unit' (i.e., total annual gross revenue for an entire franchise business). The provided data represents unit economics (sales per cleaning or sales per target household), not the total gross revenue per franchise unit as defined. Furthermore, no data for gross profit, net income, net profit, or EBITDA per franchise unit is explicitly stated or can be calculated from the provided information. Therefore, these fields are set to null.
