Explanatory Notes for Part I – Average Monthly Gross Margin and Net Profits for Reporting Franchisees

  • Part I of this Item presents average monthly gross sales data and average monthly net sales data for the 4th and subsequent mailings during the Measurement Period of 8 Reporting Franchisees.
  • In Part I, the franchisor excluded the financial performance information for 1 Reporting Franchisee because this franchisee purchased a pre-developed market and was paying a special royalty that is different from the royalty rate paid by franchisees who purchase the franchisor’s standard offering.
  • The franchisor also excluded partial-year data from a second Reporting Franchisee who purchased a partially developed market and was paying a special royalty for 2 months during the Measurement Period. Accordingly, the franchisor excluded the data from those 2 months and included the remaining data from this Reporting Franchisee.
  • The system-wide “Average Monthly Gross Margin” was calculated by taking the sum of all of the Reporting Franchisees’ average monthly Gross Margin during the Measurement Period, and dividing it by the total number of Reporting Franchisees.
  • “Monthly Gross Margin” equals the “Monthly Gross Profit” divided by “Monthly Gross Income.”
  • Each Reporting Franchisee’s average Monthly Gross Margin was calculated by taking the sum of the Reporting Franchisee’s Monthly Gross Margin during the month and dividing it by the total number of months the Reporting Franchisee was in operation after its first Cycle during the Measurement Period.
  • “Monthly Gross Income” includes all income derived by a Reporting Franchisee during a month, including mailing revenues billed, shipping and handling billings, Punchpoints mobile revenue, and graphic design work.
  • “Monthly Gross Profit” is calculated by subtracting the cost of product/mailing, shipping and handling, bounceback printing, scan, mobile expenses, and graphic design work from the Reporting Franchisee’s Monthly Gross Income. Monthly Gross Profit does not include royalty and advertising fees due to the franchisor, labor expenses, costs of sales, or start-up costs associated with a Welcomemat Business.
  • The system-wide “Average Monthly Net Profit” was calculated by taking the sum of all of the Reporting Franchisees’ average monthly Net Profits during the Measurement Period, and dividing it by the total number of Reporting Franchisees.
  • “Monthly Net Profit” equals the Reporting Franchisee’s “Monthly Net Income” divided by the Reporting Franchisee’s “Monthly Gross Income.”
  • Each Reporting Franchisee’s average Monthly Net Profit was calculated by taking the sum of the Reporting Franchisee’s Net Profits during the Measurement Period and dividing it by the total number of months the Reporting Franchisee was in operation after its first Cycle during the Measurement Period.
  • “Monthly Net Income” equals the Reporting Franchisee’s Monthly Gross Profit during the Measurement Period less the Reporting Franchisee’s system marketing expenses, merchant fees for payment processing, invoicing fees, cancellation fees, royalty fees, and technology fees.
