USA INSULATION
USA Insulation franchises operate businesses that evaluate clients' insulation needs and sell and install a range of insulation products, including proprietary injection foam, polyurethane spray foam, blown fiberglass, and rolled/batten fiberglass insulation, along with other authorized products and services. Franchisees use the USA Insulation marks and proprietary operating system to provide these services at clients' properties, primarily targeting residential and commercial property owners seeking energy-efficient insulation solutions. The business model involves operating from an approved light industrial location within a designated territory, utilizing standardized vehicles and trained installers.

Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 37 USA Insulation franchises operating a total of 74 territories for the calendar year ended December 31, 2025.
* Average Gross Revenue ($1,588,037) and Median Gross Revenue ($1,491,238) were taken directly from the '2025 Gross Sales¹ Information' table on Page 1. The average gross revenue was verified by calculating the unweighted average of individual franchise gross sales from the quartile tables ($1,588,036.95). Revenue Top Quartile ($3,060,277) was taken from the 'Average Gross Sales' of the First Quartile table on Page 2. Revenue Bottom Quartile ($455,891) was taken from the 'Average Gross Sales' of the Fourth Quartile table on Page 5. Average Gross Profit was calculated using the overall average Gross Revenue and a weighted average Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) percentage. COGS for each franchise was defined as the sum of 'Cost of Proprietary Foam Products as a % of Gross Sales 2' and 'Cost of Goods as a % of Gross Sales 2'. The overall weighted average COGS percentage across all 37 franchises was calculated by summing the total COGS dollars for all franchises ($10,890,693.86) and dividing by the total Gross Sales dollars for all franchises ($58,757,367), resulting in an average COGS percentage of approximately 18.53%. Average Gross Profit = $1,588,037 * (1 - 0.1853479) = $1,293,697.67. Average Net Income, Average Net Profit, and Average EBITDA are set to null because Note 2 on Page 6 explicitly states that the provided information does not reflect all costs necessary to calculate net income or profit. Best Guess Profit Low/High: These values represent an estimated range of 'profit before other unspecified operating expenses'. They were calculated using the overall average Gross Revenue ($1,588,037) and the minimum and maximum observed 'Total Known Costs %' from individual franchises. 'Total Known Costs %' for each franchise was the sum of 'Cost of Proprietary Foam Products %', 'Cost of Goods %', 'Cost of Sales Commissions %', and 'Cost of Labor %'. The minimum 'Total Known Costs %' observed among individual franchises was 22% (Franchise #6), and the maximum was 77% (Franchise #7). Best Guess Profit High = $1,588,037 * (1 - 0.22) = $1,238,668.86. Best Guess Profit Low = $1,588,037 * (1 - 0.77) = $365,248.51. This range reflects the potential profit after accounting for the explicitly stated direct costs, but before any other operating expenses not included in the provided data.
