Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: Data is based on one Founder Owned Outlet, Surv East Bay, Rhode Island, open for the entire 2024 Calendar Year. The document explicitly states that financial data for franchised Surv Businesses is not included because they have not been in operation for 12 months or more as of December 31, 2024.
* Average gross revenue is taken directly from Table 2 'Total Gross Revenue'. Best guess profit high is taken directly from Table 2 'Direct Gross Profit Less Disclosed Expenses and Franchise Related Expense' ($299,352). This figure represents an operating profit before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, assuming all operating expenses explicitly listed in Table 2 are captured. Best guess profit low is estimated by deducting an additional 10% of Gross Revenue ($139,405) from the best guess profit high figure. This deduction accounts for potential unlisted managerial, administrative, and general operating expenses, as these were explicitly mentioned in Item 19(c) as not necessarily being included in Direct Gross Profit and not explicitly itemized as deductions in Table 2.
