Financial Performance — Item 19
What results are disclosed—and for which locations?
3 separate populations, shown apart. Revenue is not owner income.
1 locations
Adjusted operating results · 1 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
- One operating Innovative Roof Solutions franchisee of three, territory equivalent to two territories (~160,000 households)
- Period
- 2024 adjusted franchisee statement
- Excluded
- Two nonoperating franchisees excluded. No roof repair/replacement revenue; owner labor performed; owner/family wages and other adjustments omitted.
- Method
- Unaudited, partially adjusted pro forma fees: royalty7%, brand2%, technology/marketing current fees and minimum advertising substituted. Does not represent actual Roof Scientist profit. Gross profit/COGS/revenue figures printed do not reconcile; retain stated amounts.
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 2024 of each year.
2025 FDD · Item 20 · PDF p. 73
Net +0 outlets, 2022–2024
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 2024 haven't been pulled from the Item 20 tables yet, so no turnover or churn is shown.
