Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 43 franchised RED MANGO Stores operating for at least 11 of the 12 accounting periods between January 1, 2024 and December 29, 2024.
* The document provides average unit volumes for the top 25% (11 stores with $739,619 average) and bottom 25% (11 stores with $6,381 average) of the 43 franchised stores. However, the average for the middle 50% (21 stores) is not provided, making it impossible to calculate a weighted average for the overall 43 stores. The document explicitly states that the information reflects sales only and excludes costs and expenses (Page 2, Note 5; Page 3), so no profit-related metrics can be inferred or calculated.
