Data Based On: 30 franchised Storm Guard® businesses open throughout the entire reporting period (January 1, 2024 – December 31, 2024), excluding company-owned businesses and those not providing financial information.
* Average net income was calculated as Average Gross Profit ($1,277,880) minus Average Total Expenses ($1,077,140). Footnote (14) states that 'Other' expenses, a component of 'Total Expenses' (Footnote 15), include depreciation, amortization, interest, and taxes, thus making this calculation representative of net income. Average EBITDA is based on 'EBITDA Plus Owner Comp.' as explicitly stated in the FDD, and this value ($375,370) was used for average_ebitda. EBITDA margin percentage was calculated as average_ebitda / average_gross_revenue. Best guess profit low uses average_net_income, and best guess profit high uses average_ebitda (EBITDA Plus Owner Comp.) as different profit metrics provided.
