Financial Performance


Item 19 Financial Performance

Data Based On: Data is provided for 21 residential franchisees operating a total of 35 outlets for calendar year 2024. These figures represent performance at the franchisee entity level, not per individual franchise unit/outlet.

* The FDD provides financial performance data for '21 Residential Franchisees' in Tables 3 and 5. However, Note 1 for these tables explicitly states: 'some franchisees operate more than 1 outlet under the same legal entity. Therefore, these revenue, job count and ticket price numbers cannot be extrapolated to the potential operation of a single outlet.' As the instructions require extracting 'ONLY individual franchise unit performance data,' and the FDD explicitly indicates that the provided data is at the franchisee entity level (which may include multiple outlets) and not for a single outlet, the revenue and profit metrics for individual franchise units cannot be accurately extracted. No net income, net profit, EBITDA, or sufficient expense data was provided for franchise operations to calculate profit estimates.
