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 locations
Revenue · 110 locations
- Who is counted
- Franchisees who have reported 12 months of revenue or more
- Period
- 2025
- Excluded
- Those who were not in operation for each of the 12 months in 2025; no Franchisees have been excluded, unless they did not report
Franchised locations
Adjusted operating results · 61 locations
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
- all 61 active franchisees in good standing who supplied 2025 P&L Reports, operating in 75 locations
- Period
- 2025
- Excluded
- none have been excluded save for those who had not been operational for such time or those for whom data was not received
- Method
- The Adjusted EBITDA makes final adjustments to assure that the applicable royalty rate and any other fees paid to Bio-One as the franchisor have been matched to those you will incur under your franchise agreement, even if prior versions may be historically inconsistent on some terms relating to such fees.
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 year end of each year.
2026 FDD · Item 20 · PDF p. 39
Net +1 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. Openings and closures for 2025 haven't been pulled from the Item 20 tables yet, so no turnover or churn is shown.
