Financial Performance — Item 19
What results are disclosed—and for which locations?
Two separate populations, not a revenue-and-profit comparison. Revenue is not owner income.
Franchised centers
Revenue and memberships · 1,683 centers
- Who is counted
- Franchised centers open the full 12 months and using AF Coaching (Item 19 Section I)
- Period
- 12 month period ended February 28, 2026
- Excluded
- Excludes 66 centers that permanently closed; excludes enrollment fees and vending income
Company-owned centers
Adjusted operating results · 11 centers
Adjusted company-owned results: the franchisor adjusted these centers' expenses to estimate franchisee costs. They are not observed franchisee results or owner take-home income.
- Who is counted
- Company-owned centers, 9 in Illinois and 2 in Minnesota (Item 19 Section III)
- Period
- 12 month period ended February 28, 2026
- Method
- Franchisor adjusted expenses to estimate costs a franchisee would incur
These groups are never combined. Adjusted company-owned operating results cannot be divided by franchised revenue to calculate a franchisee profit margin.
Outlet Changes — Item 20
How has the outlet count changed?
Systemwide, as labeled in the FDD · counts as of December 31 of each year.
2026 FDD · Item 20 · PDF p. 67 · printed p. 60
Net −28 outlets, 2023–2025
Year-end counts reported in Item 20. The scale starts at zero, so the line looks nearly flat; the labels between the dots show each year's change.

Exits include closures, terminations and non-renewals. Churn divides exits by outlets at the start of the year; it is not a measure of earnings.
