Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: Data for 48 Reporting Franchisees who owned and operated a total of 234 SHELFGENIE Businesses during the Reporting Period.
* Average gross revenue per territory (franchise unit) is taken from the 'Grand Total' average of 'Gross Sales Per Territory' for 234 territories on page 8. Median, top, and bottom quartiles were calculated using the list of 43 individual 'Gross Sales Per Territory' values provided for each market across pages 6-8. Average gross profit per territory is calculated by taking the 'Grand Total' Gross Sales ($28,873,113.00) minus the 'Grand Total' Cost of Goods Sold ($6,607,277.00) and dividing by the total number of territories (234), all from page 8.
