Data Based On: 207 Territories that were in operation for the entire 2024 fiscal year (from Table 1).

* Average gross revenue for franchised units was calculated as a weighted average using data from Table 1 (Page 1): (52 units * $1,123,247 + 52 units * $467,598 + 51 units * $233,445 + 52 units * $108,907) = $100,292,804 total aggregate revenue. Total territories = 52 + 52 + 51 + 52 = 207. Average gross revenue = $100,292,804 / 207 = $484,506.30. Profit range (best_guess_profit_low, best_guess_profit_high) is estimated based on the 'Net Ordinary Income' percentage (25.9%) reported for company-owned territories in Table 7 (Page 6). A conservative range of 20% to 30% of the franchised average gross revenue was applied as a proxy. Estimated best_guess_profit_low = 0.20 * $484,506.30 = $96,901.26. Estimated best_guess_profit_high = 0.30 * $484,506.30 = $145,351.89. No explicit gross profit, net income, net profit, or EBITDA figures were provided for franchised units in the document.
