Franchise Stats
Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: The financial performance representation is based upon the historic data of 23 franchised outlets which operated during the 12-month reporting period from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024, and had revenue generating events. One franchised outlet was excluded as it was not yet open or did not have any revenue-generating events.
* The document provides financial performance data related to figurine prices, estimated gross margins (as percentages), figurines sold per event day, and order amounts per event day. However, it does not provide an aggregate 'average gross revenue' or 'median gross revenue' per franchise unit for the entire reporting period (April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024). The 'Order Amount' is explicitly defined as 'average net sales revenue generated per order', not total revenue per franchise unit for the period. Similarly, due to the absence of a total revenue figure, average net income, average net profit, and average EBITDA cannot be calculated or inferred in dollar amounts, nor can a profit range (best_guess_profit_low/high) be established from the gross margin percentages alone.
