Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 13 operating franchised locations who ordered robots and recorded sales during the Measuring Period (April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025).
* Average gross revenue per unit and median gross revenue per unit were estimated by multiplying the average/median invoice amount from Table 1 by the average number of invoices per franchised location. According to the document, there were 81 total invoices and 13 franchised locations. Thus, the average number of invoices per location is 81 / 13 = 6.23. The average gross revenue per unit was calculated as $26,042 (average invoice amount) * 6.23 = $162,261.69. The median gross revenue per unit was calculated as $7,320 (median invoice amount) * 6.23 = $45,609.23. The average gross margin of 57% is stated to be before royalties and transaction fees, which are not quantified, thus preventing calculation of net profit/income or best guess profit ranges.
