Item 19
What Exit Factor franchisees actually report earning
Exit Factor's 2026 FDD publishes no median in its Item 19. What it publishes instead is set out below, in the document's own terms. An average is not a median: it is pulled upward by the strongest outlets, and it does not tell you what the middle outlet made. We do not calculate a median the document does not state.
The financial performance representations in this Item 19 include certain historical data relating to the Monthly Collections and Annual Average Prices of our franchisees and our affiliate in calendar year 2025.
