Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: Financial performance data is based on 39 reporting PatchMaster franchisees for Gross Revenue for the calendar year ended December 31, 2024. A subset of 21 reporting PatchMaster franchisees provided Gross Profit and expense data for the same period.
* The average gross revenue for 'All Franchisees' of $330,653 was directly extracted from Table 1. This value was verified by calculating a weighted average from the three tertiles: (13 units × $605,109 + 13 units × $255,792 + 13 units × $131,059) / 39 total units = $330,653. Gross Profit is explicitly defined on page 2 as excluding various operating expenses (e.g., royalties, marketing, technology fees, automotive, office, professional fees). Since no data or estimates for these excluded operating expenses are provided, 'Net Profit', 'Net Income', 'EBITDA', and a reliable estimated profit range cannot be calculated.
