Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 93 franchised studios meeting specific reporting criteria for 2024 profit and loss statements, divided into four quartiles based on Owners Discretionary Profit (ODP).
* Financial data is presented in Tables 1A-1D, segmented into four quartiles based on Owners Discretionary Profit (ODP) for 93 studios in 2024. The number of studios per quartile are: 1st Quartile (24 studios), 2nd Quartile (23 studios), 3rd Quartile (23 studios), 4th Quartile (23 studios). All average values are weighted averages across these quartiles. - Average Gross Revenue: (24 * $1,698,097 + 23 * $972,669 + 23 * $860,014 + 23 * $508,010) / 93 = $1,017,099.65. - Average Cost of Goods Sold: (24 * $460,125 + 23 * $270,395 + 23 * $241,832 + 23 * $147,815) / 93 = $281,978.13. - Average Gross Profit: Calculated as Average Gross Revenue - Average Cost of Goods Sold = $1,017,099.65 - $281,978.13 = $735,121.52. - Average EBITDA: (24 * $287,421 + 23 * $106,728 + 23 * $26,568 + 23 * -$19,382) / 93 = $102,345.44. - Average Owners Discretionary Profit (ODP): (24 * $445,585 + 23 * $203,277 + 23 * $108,268 + 23 * $15,713) / 93 = $195,924.45. This value is used for Average Net Profit. - EBITDA Margin %: Calculated as Average EBITDA / Average Gross Revenue = $102,345.44 / $1,017,099.65 = 0.1006 (10.06%). - Revenue Top Quartile: Taken directly from the 'Average Gross Sales' of the 1st Quartile = $1,698,097. - Revenue Bottom Quartile: Taken directly from the 'Average Gross Sales' of the 4th Quartile = $508,010. - Best Guess Profit Low/High: Based on the average ODP of the lowest and highest performing quartiles, respectively. Lowest ODP (4th Quartile average) = $15,713. Highest ODP (1st Quartile average) = $445,585. - Median Gross Revenue: Not explicitly provided for the total sample of 93 studios; therefore, set to null.

In the niche of large-format printing for B2B clients like architects and engineers, SpeedPro stands out with a specialized studio model backed by comprehensive training and proprietary tech. Item 19 financial disclosures paint a picture of substantial revenue potential, while SBA loan records reveal a financing path that's been tested across dozens of openings. But with modest unit growth and a handful of exits, does this system's stability match its high-ticket promise?
Item 7 details an initial investment of $234,860 to $350,186, including a $49,500 franchise fee, positioning SpeedPro mid-range for business services franchises. Royalties start at 6% on the first $60,000 in monthly gross sales, dropping to 4% thereafter, plus a 2% brand fund (tiered up to that max) and a $350 monthly technology fee. Item 19 reports average gross revenues of $1,017,100, but with a 0% EBITDA margin and estimated profits ranging from $15,713 to $445,585—highlighting wide variance likely tied to location and management. For a B2B model targeting dense business territories, hitting the upper profit end demands strong client acquisition in construction and design sectors.
System health shows 121 locations, up just 1% from 118 in 2023 to 119 in 2024, with 10 projected new units signaling cautious expansion. Four terminations and eight transfers suggest moderate turnover, not alarming but worth probing during validation. SBA data on 70 loans averaging $311,347 carries a 12.9% default rate—higher than some peers, potentially flagging operational risks amid economic shifts. A single litigation note involves a fee dispute with an abandoning franchisee, minor but a reminder of enforcement rigor. Overall, SpeedPro suits experienced operators chasing $1M+ revenue in a recession-resistant printing niche, but slow growth and profit spreads mean thorough due diligence on territory potential.
