Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: Data is based on 56 affiliate-owned stores and 2 franchised stores that operated the entire period from December 27, 2023 to December 31, 2024. The affiliate-owned stores' data for Other Costs, SLEBITDA and SLEBITDA % has been adjusted to account for 7% royalties and 3% marketing fund contributions, representing how they would have performed as franchised stores.
* Average Gross Profit calculated by subtracting Average Prime Costs ($612,581) from Average Gross Sales ($1,219,645). Franchise Adjusted SLEBITDA ($193,746) and Franchise Adjusted SLEBITDA % (15.9%) were used for average_ebitda and ebitda_margin_pct respectively, as these figures are explicitly stated as adjusted for royalties and marketing fund contributions to represent franchised operations. The best_guess_profit_low and best_guess_profit_high are derived from the minimum and maximum values of the Franchise Adjusted SLEBITDA provided in Table 2.
