Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: Data based on 12 Franchised Dedicated Locations and 53 Franchised Hosted Locations operating for the full Fiscal Year 2024.
* Average gross revenue is a weighted average calculated from two segments of franchised units: 12 Franchised Dedicated Locations with an average gross revenue of $1,108,226, and 53 Franchised Hosted Locations with an average gross revenue of $204,738. The weighted average is (12 * $1,108,226 + 53 * $204,738) / 65 = $371,535.78. Average EBITDA, EBITDA margin percentage, and best guess profit range are based solely on the data for the 12 Franchised Dedicated Locations (Table 1) as no comparable EBITDA data was provided for Franchised Hosted Locations. The average EBITDA is $259,531, and the EBITDA margin is 23.4%. The best guess profit range is estimated using the 'Low' ($109,176) and 'High' ($605,226) Adjusted 4-WALL EBITDA figures from Table 1, which represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization for Dedicated Locations. Median gross revenue, revenue top quartile, and revenue bottom quartile are set to null as overall combined values for all franchised units were not provided, and they could not be accurately calculated from the available segmented data.
