Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 63 Strategic-Partners owning 100 franchised territories who operated for a Full Season during 2024 and adhered to system standards. This data excludes 6 affiliate-owned territories.
* Calculated weighted average gross revenue for 63 Strategic-Partners from total mosquito-only service revenue (Table A.4) and total non-mosquito pest control service revenue (Table A.5). Total Mosquito Revenue was calculated by summing (customers * average value per customer) for each region: (2275 * $751.22) + (3403 * $726.21) + (2675 * $839.94) + (3808 * $1232.04) = $11,118,765.95. Total Non-Mosquito Revenue was calculated similarly: (482 * $397.30) + (2400 * $399.20) + (274 * $366.62) + (1753 * $577.76) = $2,262,845.76. The total aggregated revenue for these primary services is $11,118,765.95 + $2,262,845.76 = $13,381,611.71. The average per Strategic-Partner is $13,381,611.71 / 63 Strategic-Partners = $212,406.54. This calculation excludes Smart Repellent Systems and Holiday Lighting revenue, as per the document's distinction between primary financial performance representations (Tables A.1-A.5) and add-on/separately noted services.
