Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: Data for 56 franchised placement agencies that have been marketing their franchise for more than six months, full-time, in Calendar Year 2024. This includes 15 agencies with multiple marketing areas and 41 agencies with a single marketing area.
* Calculated weighted average gross revenue and median gross revenue across two tables: 'Annual Gross Sales of Franchised Placement Agencies With Multiple Marketing Areas' and 'Annual Gross Sales of Franchised Placement Agencies With a Single Marketing Area'. For the 'Multiple Marketing Areas' table, the 6-18 months category originally stated '(19)' franchisees, which was inconsistent with the table's total of 15. The count for this category was adjusted to 3 franchisees (15 - (6+2+2+2)) for calculations. The units for this table sum to 15. For the 'Single Marketing Area' table, the sum of individual franchisee counts from the rows (12+5+6+7+12 = 42) was inconsistent with the table's stated total of 41. The individual row counts (summing to 42) were used for the weighted average calculation. Overall weighted average calculated using 57 units (15 from Multiple Marketing Areas table + 42 from Single Marketing Area table). Average Gross Revenue: (weighted sum of average gross sales) / 57 = $192,889.75. Median Gross Revenue: (weighted sum of median gross sales) / 57 = $165,708.91.
