Data Based On: Data from 50 Reporting Franchisees operating a total of 254 SHELFGENIE Businesses/territories during the 2024 Reporting Period.

* Financial performance data was extracted from the '2024 FRANCHISEE GROSS SALES, COST OF GOODS SOLD, GROSS MARGIN, AND ANNUAL REBATE AMOUNT' table across pages 6-8. This table provides data for individual markets/franchisees, including '# of Territories', 'Gross Sales Per Territory', and 'Gross Margin'. - The 'average_gross_revenue' was calculated as a weighted average of 'Gross Sales Per Territory' values, weighted by '# of Territories'. Calculation: (Sum of (Gross Sales Per Territory * # of Territories)) / Total # of Territories. - The 'median_gross_revenue', 'revenue_top_quartile', and 'revenue_bottom_quartile' were calculated from a list of all individual 'Gross Sales Per Territory' values, repeated for each territory within a market. - The 'average_gross_profit' was calculated by first determining the gross profit per territory for each market (Gross Sales Per Territory * Gross Margin) and then computing the weighted average of these values, weighted by '# of Territories'. - 'best_guess_profit_low' and 'best_guess_profit_high' were derived from the minimum and maximum individual Gross Profit per Territory values observed in the dataset, respectively, as no other specific profit ranges or detailed expense breakdowns were provided to estimate a narrower net profit range.
