What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Brain Balance's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a table provides a comparison of actual versus budgeted revenue for February 2024 and February 2025, both on a monthly and year-to-date basis. However, the table is difficult to interpret due to formatting issues. The table includes variance figures in both dollar amounts and percentages, offering insight into how well Brain Balance locations performed against their financial targets.
For the month ending February, there are several line items with revenue figures. It is difficult to determine what each line item represents due to the formatting issues. The table compares "Actuals" to "Budget" and calculates the "Variance" in both dollar and percentage terms. The year-to-date figures provide a cumulative view of performance through February, which can be useful for assessing early-year trends.
Prospective franchisees should carefully review this table with Brain Balance to understand the revenue performance metrics. Clarification is needed to understand the revenue categories and how they contribute to the overall financial health of a Brain Balance center. Understanding these variances can help a franchisee better anticipate financial performance and manage their business effectively.
