Item 19 Financial Performance

Data Based On: Data includes a total of 95 Network In Action Groups (3 affiliate-owned and 92 franchisee-owned) for the 12-month period from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024. This excludes 25 franchisee-owned Network In Action Group franchises that were terminated or ceased operations during 2024.

* The document states that 'The following tables relate to the actual Gross Revenues collected...', however, the subsequent bullet points (Table 1 through Table 7) only provide counts of Network In Action Businesses and the number of Network In Action Groups they operate, without presenting any actual gross revenue figures or other financial performance metrics. Therefore, no revenue, profit, or EBITDA figures could be extracted. The document also states that financial performance figures do not reflect operating expenses, precluding calculation of profit ranges.
