PESTMASTER
PESTMASTER franchises provide structural and agricultural pest control, termite control, weed control, and maintenance services, along with other authorized related products and services, utilizing the PESTMASTER System and Marks. Franchisees operate in designated territories serving residential, commercial, and governmental customers who need pest management solutions. The business model centers on franchising these services in a mature, somewhat seasonal market competing with other pest control providers.

Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 33 Pestmaster franchises operating 57 territories which reported Gross Sales for all 12 months in the Reporting Period ended December 31, 2025.
* The overall average gross revenue ($514,024) is explicitly stated in Section A. This value is consistent with the weighted average calculated from the average gross sales of each quartile (weighted by the number of franchises in each quartile): (8 franchises * $1,683,735 [First Quartile Avg] + 9 franchises * $234,691 [Second Quartile Avg] + 8 franchises * $114,220 [Third Quartile Avg] + 8 franchises * $58,366 [Fourth Quartile Avg]) / 33 total franchises = $514,023.85. All profit-related metrics (gross profit, net income, net profit, EBITDA, and estimated profit range) are null because the document explicitly states the figures reflect Gross Sales, not profits, and do not include costs of sales, operating expenses, or other expenses to determine net income or profit.
