PIRTEK
PIRTEK franchises operate service and supply centers that sell, custom assemble, and install industrial and hydraulic hoses, fixed tube assemblies, fittings, and related components along with other distinctive products and services. The business model involves franchising these centers to entrepreneurs who provide rapid-response services to industrial customers to minimize equipment downtime. Target markets include industries such as manufacturing, construction, mining, transportation, and other sectors reliant on hydraulic systems.

Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 138 franchised outlets open and in continuous operation for the full 2024 calendar year, including all Tier 1 and Tier 2 centers, with data also segmented by years in operation.
* Weighted average gross sales confirmed using Tier 1 (102 units, avg $1,286,739) and Tier 2 (36 units, avg $466,926) center data: (102 * $1,286,739 + 36 * $466,926) / 138 = $1,072,875. Revenue top and bottom quartiles are based on the average gross sales of centers operating 5+ years ($1,378,459 for 80 units) and 1-2 years ($589,829 for 34 units), respectively, from Table 2. The document defines 'Gross Profit' as Gross Sales minus Cost of Goods Sold for product only, and explicitly states that other operating expenses such as labor or direct costs are *not* included in COGS. Therefore, the provided 'Average Gross Profit' ($800,980) does not represent 'average_net_profit' as defined (Gross profit minus *all* operating expenses), and there is insufficient information to calculate average_net_profit or a best-guess profit range.
