In this Item 19, we have included data from all four Covered Studios, including two of the 43 franchised Studios and the only Affiliate-Owned Studio. 13 franchised Studios were excluded because they opened during the Reporting Period and were not open for all of the Reporting Period, and 27 franchised Studios were excluded because they had not been open 12 months as of the start of the Reporting Period. No Affiliate-Owned Studios were excluded. No Studios permanently closed during the Reporting Period.

What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Beem Light Sauna's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Item 19 data includes information from a specific subset of studios open during a defined reporting period. As of February 28, 2025, there were 43 franchised Beem Light Sauna studios in operation. However, the financial performance data in Item 19 only covers studios that had been open for at least 12 months as of October 1, 2024, and remained open throughout the entire reporting period, which ended February 28, 2025.
Specifically, the Item 19 data includes financial information from two of the 43 franchised Beem Light Sauna studios. The remaining 41 franchised studios were excluded from the Item 19 data for the following reasons: 13 franchised studios were excluded because they opened during the reporting period and were not open for the entire period. An additional 27 franchised studios were excluded because they had not been open for 12 months as of the start of the reporting period.
This means that the financial performance representations in Item 19 are based on a limited sample of Beem Light Sauna franchises that met specific criteria related to their operational history. Prospective franchisees should consider this when reviewing the financial performance data, as it may not be representative of all Beem Light Sauna franchise locations. It is important to note that the FDD encourages prospective franchisees to contact existing franchisees to discuss their experiences with the system and their franchise business.
