Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 6 franchisee owned locations that were open during 2023.
* Average and median gross revenues were directly extracted from 'TABLE 1 – 2023 GROSS REVENUES FOR TUMBLES FRANCHISES'. Revenue top and bottom quartiles could not be determined as the data was not segmented into quartiles, only providing overall High, Low, Median, and Average values. Net income, net profit, EBITDA, and EBITDA margin percentage were not explicitly provided in the document. A best guess profit range could not be reasonably estimated as 'TABLE 2 – CERTAIN 2023 EXPENSES FOR REPORTING TUMBLES FRANCHISEES' explicitly states it lists 'certain' expenses, implying not all expenses are included, thus preventing a comprehensive profit calculation.
