Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 5 franchised Rolling Suds outlets open for the entire 2024 calendar year.
* Average and Median gross revenue were directly extracted from Table 1.C: Average Revenue of Franchised Outlets for the 2024 calendar year. Due to the small sample size (5 units) and the lack of explicit quartile segment averages, the 'Maximum' value from Table 1.C is used as a proxy for the top quartile revenue, and the 'Minimum' value is used as a proxy for the bottom quartile revenue. No net income, net profit, or EBITDA data were provided for franchised outlets, nor was sufficient expense data to estimate a profit range.
