What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Expense Reduction Analysts' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the '1st Decile' range refers to the top 10% of Expense Reduction Analysts franchisees based on Net Cumulative Receipts. This ranking is derived from the financial performance of 121 regional franchisees during the period from January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2024. The financial data includes only those franchisees who had been operating a franchise substantially similar to the one offered in the Disclosure Document for at least 18 months and had completed the Initial Special Marketing Program (ISMP) before the start of the 2023 fiscal year.
For a prospective Expense Reduction Analysts franchisee, understanding the decile rankings provides insight into the potential revenue generation within the franchise system. The 1st Decile represents the highest-performing franchisees, offering a benchmark for potential success. The 1st Decile of Expense Reduction Analysts franchisees, consisting of 7 franchisees, had an average annual secured revenue of $1,106,305, a median annual secured revenue of $999,312, with the highest annual secured revenue reaching $2,273,863 and the lowest at $704,970.
It's important to note that only 3 out of the 7 franchisees in the 1st Decile achieved the average revenue, representing 43% of that range and only 5% of all full-time franchisees. This highlights that while the 1st Decile represents top performers, individual results can vary significantly. Expense Reduction Analysts also specifies that the financial performance data does not include figures from area franchises, company-owned outlets, or franchises that were terminated or began operating in 2024. Prospective franchisees should also be aware that these figures are historical and that individual results may differ, with no assurance of earning as much.
