Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 8 Wing it On! restaurants (7 non-corporate/franchised-like, 1 corporate/affiliate-owned) that were open for a full 12 months during the 2024 calendar year.
* The financial performance data is extracted from the '2024 Sales' table and summary AUV/Median figures in Item 19. The provided sample includes 8 stores, one of which ('Waterbury*') is explicitly marked as 'Corporate/affiliate -owned location'. Following the instruction to extract only individual franchise unit performance data and ignore company-owned units (unless no franchise data exists), calculations for average and median gross revenue are based on the 7 non-corporate stores. Individual sales for 7 non-corporate stores: $824,634.28, $952,383.73, $637,280.78, $322,349.16, $381,180.51, $503,930.77, $292,555.16. Calculated average gross revenue: (824634.28 + 952383.73 + 637280.78 + 322349.16 + 381180.51 + 503930.77 + 292555.16) / 7 = $559,187.77. Calculated median gross revenue (from sorted 7 non-corporate sales): $503,930.77. The document provides 'Annual AUV - Top 25% Full Year Stores: $888,509.01'. This value aligns with the average of the top 2 sales from the entire 8-store sample (which happen to be franchise stores): ($952,383.73 + $824,634.28) / 2 = $888,509.01. This is used for 'revenue_top_quartile'. For 'revenue_bottom_quartile', the document does not explicitly provide a 'bottom 25%' figure. It is calculated as the average of the bottom 2 sales from the 7 non-corporate stores: ($292,555.16 + $322,349.16) / 2 = $307,452.16. No information on net income, net profit, EBITDA, or expense data was provided, therefore corresponding fields and best-guess profit ranges are set to null.
