Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 506 franchised Businesses operated by 128 franchisees during the 2024 fiscal year.
* Average gross revenue per franchise unit calculated as (Average Gross Revenue per franchisee * Number of franchisees) / Number of franchised businesses. From page 4, the average Gross Revenue of the 128 franchisees that operated 506 franchised Businesses during the 2024 fiscal year was $464,599.95. Therefore, average_gross_revenue = ($464,599.95 * 128) / 506 = $117,527.26. Best guess profit range (EBITDA) is estimated using the EBITDA margins derived from the company-owned unit's Profit & Loss statements (Part I) for 2023 and 2024. The EBITDA margins were approximately 19.15% (2023) and 13.69% (2024). A conservative range of 13% to 19% was applied to the average gross revenue per unit. Low estimate: $117,527.26 * 0.13 = $15,278.54. High estimate: $117,527.26 * 0.19 = $22,330.18.
