Franchise Stats
Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: Data based on 9 franchised businesses (operating a total of 27 franchised units) that were open and in operation for the full fiscal year ending May 31, 2025.
* The document provides 'Average Net Revenue' and 'Median Net Revenue' for franchised businesses for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2025. Note 1 clarifies that 'Net Revenue' includes all revenues generated from the business, excluding sales tax. Notes 4 and 5 explicitly state that operating costs and expenses (including royalties, payroll, rent), interest, depreciation, and amortization information are not included in the financial performance representation. Therefore, profit-related metrics (gross profit, net income, net profit, EBITDA) and profit estimations cannot be calculated. The 'High Amount' and 'Low Amount' are given as the maximum and minimum reported revenues, respectively, and do not represent averages of top/bottom quartiles or segments, so 'revenue_top_quartile' and 'revenue_bottom_quartile' are set to null. The sample size ('poc_number' and 'poc_franchise_count') is based on the 'Total # of Open Franchisees' (9 for 2025), as the 'Average Net Revenue' is described as information provided by 'Open Franchisees' and Note 2 implies the revenue figures are for the franchisee's business operating from a single location, regardless of the number of 'units' or agreements.
