Section IV – News Updates on the Crushr Franchise

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

Part 1 – Company-Owned Outlet Income and Certain Expenses (2021, 2022, and 2023)

• Crushr has operated one Crushr Business similar to the ones offered under the Disclosure Document since January 2017. Throughout this Item 19, Crushr refers to this as the “Company-Owned Outlet”.

• Presented in Part 1 of this Item 19 is a summary of income and certain expenses showing the Company-Owned Outlet’s historical results, categorized by year, during the periods of January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 (the “2021 Measurement Period”), January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Measurement Period”), and January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Measurement Period”). Crushr refers to the 2021 Measurement Period, the 2022 Measurement Period, and the 2023 Measurement Period collectively as the “Full Measurement Period” in this Item 19.

• Throughout the Full Measurement Period, Crushr’s Company-Owned Outlet was operating in and around Louisville, Kentucky, including portions of southern Indiana. During the 2023 Measurement Period, Crushr’s Company-Owned Outlet purchased the Franchised Outlet operating in the Louisville, Kentucky market and incorporated the Territory into its operations. The Company-Owned Outlet serviced Qualified Businesses in an area approximately the size of one and a half Protected Territories Crushr would grant to a franchise outlet in this area.

• Crushr’s Company-Owned outlet operated one Installed Vehicle in this area full-time during the Full Measurement Period.

• The summary of income and certain expenses has not been audited, reviewed, or verified by an independent accountant.

• Except as discussed in the notes below, the Company-Owned Outlet operates in a substantially similar manner to how your Crushr Business will operate, though Crushr expects there may be variances between your Crushr Business and the Company-Owned Outlet based upon factors such as geographic location, length of time in operation, relative experience of the operator, and the number of Installed Vehicles in operation.

• Royalty Fees:  $31,716 (8.0%)
• Brand Fund Contribution:  $3,965 (1.0%)
• Local Area Advertising:  $6,000 (1.5%)
• Technology Fees:  $6,000 (1.5%)

• Miscellaneous Expenses:  $10,552 (2.7%)
• Storage Rental Expenses:  $1,500 (0.4%)
• Total Expense:  $148,387 (37.4%)

Net Income:  $170,390 (43.0%)

• The “Net Income” figures represented above do not include certain costs and expenses you may incur, including in the categories of depreciation, amortization, interest, or principal payments on loans to the business, or income taxes owed by the business or its owners.

• “Gross Sales” means the aggregate gross amount of all revenues from whatever source derived (whether in the form of cash, credit, agreements to pay or other consideration, and whether or not payment is received at the time of sale or any such amounts prove uncollectible) from providing mobile trash compacting services by the Company-Owned Outlet.

• The Company-Owned Outlet does not pay the Royalty Fee (8% of Gross Sales), the Brand Fund Contribution (1% of Gross Sales), the Technology Fee ($500 per month), or the $500 per month Local Area Advertising Requirement. Crushr has included an estimate of these fees for the Company-Owned Outlet in the table above and the “Gross Profit” and “Net Income” figures include these fees as an imputed expense to the Company-Owned Outlet as if they were actually paid during each Measurement Period.

• In 2023, the Company-Owned Outlet was granted a reduced insurance rate for the Installed Vehicle due to the length of operating history of the Company-Owned Outlet, and the total number of vehicles insured by Smash Brothers, LLC. Insurance rates and the availability of insurance policy discounts may vary for your Crushr Business.

• The Company-Owned Outlet did not incur any expenses related to storage of its Installed Vehicle because it had access to rent-free storage at an existing facility. You are likely to incur expenses for storing your Installed Vehicle. Crushr has estimated imputed an amount equal to $125 per month for a self-storage facility similar to the one it recommends you rent.

• The Company-Owned Outlet has been in operation since 2017. The expenses listed above do not reflect other expenses you may incur as a new business, such as legal and accounting fees, the purchase price of the Installed Vehicle, the Franchise Fee, travel expenses for training, payroll costs you may incur prior to opening your Crushr Business, and other initial start-up costs that are customary for a new business.

Part 2 – Gross Sales for Disclosed Franchised Outlets (2022 and 2023)

• In Part 2 of this Item 19, Crushr presents the total Gross Sales attained during either (or both) the 2021 Measurement Period and 2022 Measurement Period for certain franchise outlets. There were 19 franchisee-owned outlets that were in operation at a minimum for the entirety of the 2022 Measurement Period (the “Disclosed Franchise Outlets”).

• Crushr obtained these historical financial results from revenue reports generated by its franchisees’ field management software programs.
• An outlet’s continuous operation throughout the 2022 Measurement Period is the only criteria Crushr used for inclusion in this Part 2. There were a total of 25 franchisee outlets as of January 1, 2022. Because the other 6 franchise outlets were not open and operating on or before January 1, 2022, they did not operate for the full 2022 Measurement Period, and Crushr therefore excluded them from this Item 19.
