Data Based On: Based on CRM entity level data for the 19 franchisees operating a total of 36 outlets which opened their first location prior to calendar year 2025.

* Used the overall average gross revenue directly provided in Table 4 for 'All Franchisees'. For quartile revenues, used the 'Average' values provided for 'Top Quartile' and '4th Quartile' in Table 5. Noted a discrepancy: the weighted average of the quartile averages (Top Quartile: $416,882 x 15 outlets; 2nd Quartile: $169,716 x 11 outlets; 3rd Quartile: $115,755 x 6 outlets; 4th Quartile: $70,200 x 4 outlets) totals $9,095,430 across 36 outlets, yielding a weighted average of $252,651. This does not match the overall average ($199,609) from Table 4, suggesting different averaging methodologies or data considerations for the overall average versus the quartile averages.
