Financial performance: Item 19

Item 19 captured

Yes

Metric / basis

Average, median, high, and low annual Revenue of Reporting Franchisees (single-location Showhomes Businesses); also average/median/min/max and middle-50% range of Property list prices under contract. No profit/EBITDA metric disclosed.

Reporting period

Section A-1: 12-month period ended December 31, 2025 (14 Reporting Franchisees). Section A-2: three-year period ended December 31, 2025, for a 12-franchisee subset in continuous operation the full three years. Section B: 12-month period ended December 31, 2025 (Property list prices).

Sample

14 Reporting Franchisees out of approximately 15 total Showhomes Locations as of December 31, 2025 (excludes 1 licensed, non-royalty-paying location, locations open less than the full 12 months, and locations that closed during the year other than one that closed at year-end after operating the full year); Section A-2's three-year figures are based on 12 of the 14 Reporting Franchisees. Exact location/reporting-franchisee counts carry some uncertainty because the source text is a garbled overlay of this year's and the prior year's FDD figures (see extraction_notes).

Reported average

$714,105

Reported median

$385,713

Owner income is not captured. Gross sales and EBITDA are not owner pay. Results depend on the disclosed metric, sample and period; consult the full filing.

Formula

CHGOFF / (PIF + CHGOFF + EXEMPT) × 100

This is a historical loan-level share, not a franchise failure probability or location survival rate. Loan size is not total investment. Other loan statuses are excluded from the seasoned denominator. Activity combines 7(a) and 504 approvals, excluding canceled and not-funded records; this is not a rolling five-year count. FY2024-25 franchise tags are sparse after directory suspension; fewer tagged loans do not establish brand decline. Recent charge-off cohorts are immature.
