SPEEDEE OIL CHANGE & AUTO SERVICE

SPEEDEE OIL CHANGE & AUTO SERVICE

SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service franchises operate quick-service centers providing oil changes, preventive maintenance services like fluid checks and fills, brake services, and other approved automotive repairs to the general public, primarily car and truck owners, without requiring appointments. Centers follow a proprietary system with guaranteed service times, typically in freestanding buildings with drive-through bays located in urban, suburban, or high-traffic areas. The business model involves initial franchise fees, multi-unit development options, royalties, and strict adherence to brand standards for fast, reliable automotive care.

Data Based On: 45 franchisee-owned Speedee Centers in operation for more than one year as of December 31, 2025, operated the entire calendar year 2025, and provided complete Profit and Loss Statements, as described in Notes 1, 2, and 5.

* Average Gross Revenue (Net Sales) was calculated as a weighted average from Chart I, using the 'Average Net Sales' for each category (A-E) and their respective 'Number of Centers': (2*$460,450 + 8*$575,797 + 8*$779,804 + 9*$988,531 + 18*$1,827,797) / 45 total centers = $1,190,285.18. Average Gross Profit was calculated as a weighted average from Chart I, using the 'Average Gross Profit' for each category (A-E) and their respective 'Number of Centers': (2*$344,192 + 8*$413,342 + 8*$594,509 + 9*$732,166 + 18*$1,350,304) / 45 total centers = $881,025.73. Average EBITDAR was calculated as a weighted average from Chart II (using the EBITDAR values for categories A-E) and Chart I's 'Number of Centers' for weighting: (2*$40,650 + 8*$58,729 + 8*$122,947 + 9*$158,715 + 18*$284,802) / 45 total centers = $179,768.42. EBITDAR is used as a proxy for EBITDA as defined in Note 15. The EBITDAR margin percentage was calculated as Average EBITDAR / Average Gross Revenue = $179,768.42 / $1,190,285.18 = 0.151. Revenue Top Quartile and Revenue Bottom Quartile are directly taken from Chart II 'Average Net Sales' for the 'TOP QUARTILE OF SALES REVENUE AVERAGES' and 'BOTTOM QUARTILE OF SALES REVENUE AVERAGES' respectively. Best guess profit high is set to the calculated Average EBITDAR, as it represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and occupancy costs. Best guess profit low is not provided as the document explicitly states these remaining expenses vary and are not included in the statement, preventing a well-supported lower estimate.
