Data Based On: Data based on 67 franchisees operating a total of 80 franchised units, as reported for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2024, across various franchise models (1 mobile, 2 mobile, 1 retail, 2 retail).

* Weighted average gross revenue calculated across four franchise categories: 1. 33 units (1 mobile franchise each): Average $427,168 2. 2 units (1 franchisee with 2 mobile franchises): Average $731,007 / 2 = $365,503.50 3. 21 units (1 retail franchise each): Average $791,251 4. 24 units (12 franchisees with 2 retail franchises each): Average $1,501,431 / 2 = $750,715.50 Overall weighted average = (33*$427,168 + 2*$365,503.50 + 21*$791,251 + 24*$750,715.50) / 80 units = $618,262.43. Weighted average median gross revenue calculated similarly using segment medians: Overall weighted median = (33*$276,856 + 2*$365,503.50 + 21*$702,787 + 24*$669,180) / 80 units = $508,576.28. Revenue quartile averages were not explicitly provided in the segmented data, so they are set to null. Net income, net profit, and EBITDA metrics are not provided, and the document explicitly states that the reported gross sales figures do not reflect the cost of sales, operating expenses, or other costs/expenses required to obtain net income or profit. Therefore, related fields are set to null.
