Section IV – News Updates on the Mr. Electric Franchise

Section V – Financial Performance Representations (Average Revenues and/or Profits) for the Mr. Electric Franchise (Item 19, 2024 FDD)

• The sales figures listed below are averages and medians derived from historical operating results of the Mr. Electric businesses indicated for the time periods covered.

• The franchisor obtained these sales figures from information provided to it by Mr. Electric franchisees using Mr. Electric’s software program for the period from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 (the “Reporting Period”).

• Franchisees are not required to use generally accepted accounting principles when reporting these figures.

• As of December 31, 2023, there were 189 Mr. Electric businesses in operation in the United States, all of which were franchised businesses. This Item 19 includes data from 152 of such businesses for the Reporting Period, which were all in operation and reporting sales for the full 52 weeks of the Reporting Period.

• This Item 19 excludes data from 27 of the franchised businesses that opened during the year 2023 and were not in operation for the entire Reporting Period and 10 franchised businesses that failed to report reliable data to the franchisor for the full Reporting Period.

• Eighteen franchised businesses that closed during the Reporting Period are also excluded from this Item 19 because they were not in operation for the entire Reporting Period. Of the 18 businesses that closed during the Reporting Period, none closed after being open for less than 12 months.

• “Gross Sales” means the total revenues and receipts from whatever source (whether in the form of cash, credit, agreement to pay, barter, trade, or other consideration) that arise, directly or indirectly, from the operation of – or in connection with – a Mr. Electric business whether under any of the Marks or otherwise.

• Gross Sales exclude sales taxes collected from customers and paid to the appropriate taxing authority and any other bona fide refunds, rebates, or discounts that the franchisor authorizes in writing. Gross Sales also exclude sales from any Excluded Services.

• All of the franchised businesses for which sales results are reported below were operated by franchisees. The franchisor did not operate any of the businesses. All of the franchised businesses are comparable to the franchised businesses offered by the disclosure document and offered substantially the same services to the public.

• Some outlets have earned this amount. Your individual results may differ. There is no assurance you will earn as much.
