Part 2 – Gross Revenue Less Cost of Goods Sold and Certain Key Operating Expenses of Reporting Franchisees and Company Operations as of September 30, 2025

The chart below presents information for the four franchisees and one Bumble Roofing company-owned outlet in Los Angeles, California (“Company-Owned Outlet”) that had been open and operating on a full-time basis at least 12 months as of September 30, 2025 and provided all requested information.

Among the four franchisees included in Part 2, Franchise Outlet 1 operates in three territories; Franchise Outlet 2 operates in four territories; Franchise Outlet 3 operates in four territories; and Franchise Outlet 4 operates in three territories.

The Company-Owned Outlet was not limited by the territorial boundaries and performed roofing services in what would have been 12.5 franchise territories. However, the zip codes where the Company-Owned Outlet serviced more than one customer, when aggregated, were equivalent to four territories. The Company-Owned Outlet reports its data in the aggregate for all of its territories.

The data excludes 20 franchisees that either began operations during the Reporting Period, were not operational during the entire Reporting Period, ceased active operations during the Reporting Period (three of which were open for less than 12 months), or did not provide Bumble Roofing with the requested information.

The chart reflects the gross revenue, cost of goods sold, and certain key operating expenses in the Reporting Period for these outlets, both as a dollar amount and as a percentage of total revenue. Seventeen franchises were excluded from the chart below either due to not being in operation for the full Reporting Period or not providing data necessary for inclusion.

The Company-Owned Outlet included in this financial performance representation offers services that you may not be authorized to use under the terms of your Franchise Agreement. However, Bumble Roofing has excluded data from those and other services from this financial performance representation.

The data included below is only for the full offering of roofing installation and roofing related products and services including replacement and maintenance options for residential and commercial customers that you will also be authorized to offer (the “Roofing Services”). The Roofing Services offered under Bumble Roofing’s Marks by the Company-Owned Outlet are substantially similar to franchised Roofing Businesses for which Bumble Roofing is offering franchises in the disclosure document.

“Gross Revenue” for purposes of this Part 2 means the gross total of all receipts derived from all sales of completed roofing services. “Gross Revenue” in this Part 2 does not include revenue for services that were sold but not yet completed, nor does it include any taxes or refunds.

“% of Revenue” is calculated by taking the respective amount and dividing it by the average Gross Revenue.

“Material Purchases” includes the direct roofing materials including shingles, clay or concrete tiles, asphalt rolled roofing, lumber, underlayment, roofing nails, ice/water shields, and sheet metal commonly used in the installation of a roofing project.

“Install Labor – Subcontractor” includes the subcontracted labor hired to install a roofing project. Install labor for subcontractors does not include any benefits or unemployment insurance.

“Other Cost of Goods Sold” includes dumpster fees, disposal fees, permit fees, and any other fees related to the roofing project not listed above.

“Royalty Expense – Sales” has the same general meaning as the Royalty Fee as described in the FDD. The Company-Owned Outlet is not required to pay Royalty Fees, so they have been imputed to reflect what a franchisee would have paid under the disclosure document.

“National Branding & Marketing Fees” has the same general meaning as the National Branding & Marketing Fees as described in the FDD. The Company-Owned Outlet may but is not required to pay National Branding & Marketing Fees, so they have been imputed to reflect what a franchisee would have paid under the disclosure document.

“Advertising & Marketing” includes all the expenses incurred by the outlet for advertising and marketing services within their respective territories for the purpose of generating customer leads for roofing projects.

“Bank Charges & Merchant Fees” includes all the expenses associated with monthly banking fees to maintain a local banking relationship, and credit card processing fees for accepting customer payments.

“Small Tools, Supplies, & Uniforms” includes the cost of installation tools and equipment, supplies, and uniforms.

“Technology Services” refers to the amount spent on licensing the field services technology platforms and for office and field devices, including the Technology Fee.

“Telephone & Cell Phone” refers to the amount spent on licensing and maintaining telephone systems or a VOIP phone system.

“Vehicle – Fuel & Maintenance” includes the cost of vehicle lease, fuel, and maintenance costs for service vehicles. It does not include automobile insurance costs and if the Reporting Franchisees own the vehicle, it does not include depreciation expense associated with the vehicle.

Part 3 – Average and Median Contract Price and Gross Profit Margin for Bumble Roofing Projects During the Last Twelve Months Ending September 30, 2025

The table below presents the median and average contract price and the average and median gross profit margin for completed roofing projects by certain Bumble Roofing businesses in the twelve-month period ending September 30, 2025 (“Reporting Period”).

The information in the table was divided into two segments: roofing jobs with a contract value above seven thousand dollars and roofing jobs with a contract value below seven thousand dollars. Bumble Roofing estimates that projects greater in value than seven thousand dollars are likely to be full roof replacement projects. Bumble Roofing estimates that projects lesser in value than seven thousand dollars are likely to be partial roof replacement or repair projects.

The information provided in the table below was compiled by examining the Gross Revenue derived from 602 completed roofing projects identified from 14 Bumble Roofing franchisees that were operational during the Reporting Period as well as the one Company-Owned Outlet.

The data was reported from Profit and Loss by Customer reports captured from the reporting locations’ QuickBooks Online accounting software during the Reporting Period.

This information does not include projects that were sold but not completed in the Reporting Period and excludes seven franchises that did not provide the proper completed contract accounting data necessary to analyze completed roofing projects. The data also excludes 8 franchisees that either began operations during the Reporting Period or ceased active operations during the Reporting Period (two of which were open for less than 12 months).

Average Gross Profit Margin: 39.0%
Median Gross Profit Margin: 38.6%
Number and Percentage Above Average Gross Profit Margin: 295 (49%)

Gross Profit Margin (or “GPM”) for a Bumble Roofing project is calculated by taking the total dollar contract value from a completed roofing project for a particular franchisee included in the above table less the Cost of Materials and Cost of Labor (as defined in Part 2 above) for the project, divided by the total dollar contract value from a completed roofing project for a particular franchisee included in the above table.

Additionally, other fixed and variable costs and expenses associated with operating a Bumble Roofing Business, including, without limitation, franchisee’s salary, administrative salaries, sales expenses, automobile expenses, insurance costs, royalty fees, and advertising and marketing expenses are not considered in the measurement of Bumble Roofing contract values or gross profit margin calculations.
