Data Based On: 90 Tint World Franchise Centers open for two or more full Calendar Years, reporting 2024 Year-End P&L data. Operating Expenses and EBITDA are based on 80 of these 90 centers.

* All figures are extracted from Table 1-E '2024 YEAR-END P&L FOR 90 TINT WORLD® CENTERS REPORTING' on page 6, representing centers open for two or more full calendar years. The 'Top 50%' and 'Bottom 50%' gross sales figures are used for revenue_top_quartile and revenue_bottom_quartile, respectively, as they represent the average of the top/bottom halves of the data. The 'average_net_profit' is set to the 'average_ebitda' value as, per the FDD's definition of Operating Expenses on page 2, they exclude interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, making the EBITDA calculation (Gross Profit - Operating Expenses) equivalent to net profit before these specific items. The reported average EBITDA ($208,526) was verified by subtracting the sum of listed average operating expenses ($437,622) from the average Gross Profit ($646,148). 'best_guess_profit_low' and 'best_guess_profit_high' are set to null due to the absence of sufficient data on the range or variability of additional excluded expenses beyond what is explicitly provided.
