Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 34 franchised salons that were open during the entire 2023 calendar year, representing approximately 72% of the 47 franchised Salons open as of December 31, 2023.
* The document states that 'The information from the 34 Salons reported in the table below' represents the financial performance for 2023. However, the 'Average of Top 100% of Salons' is explicitly stated as being based on 18 units, and the 'Median of Top 100% of Salons' is based on 17 units. The provided average and median of $460,555 and $472,574 respectively are extracted as presented in the table, but the sample sizes for these specific overall metrics (18 and 17) do not match the stated total of 34 salons. The 'Average of Top 25% of Salons' and 'Average of Bottom 25% of Salons' are taken directly from the table.
