Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: Gross Revenues data is based on 44 franchises operating 78 Territories for the entire 12-month period ended December 31, 2025. Gross Profit data is based on a subset of 13 franchises operating 25 territories for the period January to June 2026.
* 1. Average Gross Revenue and Median Gross Revenue are taken directly from 'SECTION A – TOTAL FRANCHISE GROSS REVENUES' for 44 franchises for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2025. 2. Revenue Top Quartile is the 'Average Gross Revenues' for the 'First Quartile' in 'SECTION B – FRANCHISE GROSS REVENUES BY QUARTILE'. 3. Revenue Bottom Quartile is the 'Average Gross Revenues' for the 'Fourth Quartile' in 'SECTION B – FRANCHISE GROSS REVENUES BY QUARTILE'. 4. Average Gross Profit (dollar amount) is calculated using data from 'SECTION D – GROSS PROFIT SUBSET (January to June 2026)'. Individual franchise gross profit was calculated as (Gross Revenues * Gross Profit %) for each of the 13 franchises, and then the mean of these dollar amounts was taken. 5. Best Guess Profit Low and High were estimated by applying the 'High/Low Gross Profit %' range (55% and 78%) from 'SECTION D – GROSS PROFIT SUBSET' to the overall average gross revenue ($622,650) from Section A. Low estimate: $622,650 * 0.55 = $342,457.5. High estimate: $622,650 * 0.78 = $485,667.0.

What if a home services franchise could deliver outsized revenue potential in a niche like grout restoration? Sir Grout's 2026 FDD drops Item 19 data that stands out sharply against category peers, paired with expansion metrics hinting at robust demand. Does this system's momentum make it a low-risk bet, or do the operational fees reveal cracks worth scrutinizing?
Item 7 lays out the entry: franchise fee of $60,000 within a total investment of $128,175-$198,520, covering vehicles, equipment, initial inventory, and three months' expenses. Ongoing fees stack up—6% royalty (minimum $1,250/month after month 3), $500/month brand fund, $1,500/month business center fee, and $49-$59/month website fee—potentially totaling over $3,000 monthly at scale. Item 19 shines brightest: average gross revenue of $622,650 across units, though median at $496,484 flags variance, with top performers likely driving the average higher; no profit figures disclosed, but low overhead (home-based model) suggests strong margins for efficient operators. Only 4 SBA loans on record averaging $150,000 indicate limited debt financing reliance.
System health looks solid per Item 20: 91 locations as of FDD, up 31% from 71 in 2024 to 93 in 2025, with 12 projected new units. Terminations totaled just 3, transfers 2, signaling franchisee retention amid growth since 2007 under Threshold Brands. This paints a franchisor-backed expansion without red flags, ideal for investors eyeing scalable services with residential/commercial appeal—but the revenue spread and fixed fees demand scrutiny of local market saturation.
