Data Based On: 130 franchised Tide Cleaners Outlets open for full year July 1, 2023 - June 30, 2024 (53 Plant Stores and 77 Drop Stores).

* Average gross revenue is a weighted average of 53 Plant Stores ($1,104,785) and 77 Drop Stores ($522,055) from Page 1 for the period July 1, 2023 - June 30, 2024. The average net profit of $271,182.47 is derived as a weighted average of 'Net Controllable Income Less Royalty' for the 130 stores. Expense percentages from Page 2 (63% total controllable expense, 6.5% royalty for Plant Stores Not Servicing Outlets) and Page 3 (44% total controllable expense for 1-year Drop Stores, 6.5% royalty assumed based on Note 10 on Page 8) were applied to the average annual net sales of each store type (Plant Stores: $1,035,427; Drop Stores: $485,819) from Page 1. These amounts were then aggregated and divided by the total number of stores (130). This 'Net Controllable Income Less Royalty' is before other non-controllable expenses. The best guess profit range (low: $58,217, high: $164,700) is estimated by further reducing this average net profit by 30% and 15% of the weighted average net sales ($709,882.26) respectively. This accounts for additional non-controllable expenses (e.g., rent, interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and professional fees) which are noted in the FDD (Note 9 on Page 8) as excluded from 'Net Controllable Income' but are not quantified.
