Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 10 Operational Franchise Outlets for the 2025 Calendar Year, excluding one that failed to provide financial records for Scent Blending Experiences and Transactions data.
* Average Gross Revenue, Median Gross Revenue, Revenue Top Quartile, and Revenue Bottom Quartile are for 2025 Operational Franchise Outlets as reported in Tables 5 and 6. The Average Gross Sales for the Top Half (5 units) is used for revenue_top_quartile, and the Average Gross Sales for the Bottom Half (5 units) is used for revenue_bottom_quartile. Direct Gross Profit was not calculated as 'Direct Labor Cost' was not provided for franchised units in the tables, which is required per definition (h) for Direct Gross Profit. Best guess profit range (low and high) was estimated by calculating a 'simulated net profit margin' from the Company Owned Outlet's 2025 financial data (Table 1), which includes all specified disclosed and franchise-related expenses. This margin was then applied to the lowest ($124,957) and highest ($471,568) reported gross sales of the 2025 Operational Franchise Outlets. Simulated Net Profit Margin = (Company Owned Outlet Simulated Net Profit for 2025 / Company Owned Outlet Gross Sales for 2025) = ($104,974 / $440,549) = 0.23827996431724963. Best guess profit low = $124,957 * 0.23827996431724963 = $29,774.75. Best guess profit high = $471,568 * 0.23827996431724963 = $112,365.21.
