Item 19 (PDF pages 55-81) reports Gross Sales, direct costs, Disclosed Expenses and Adjusted Profit for 2023, 2024 and 2025, for all, multi-territory and single-territory outlets.

Of the 71 outlets reported for 2025, 66 operate two or more territories. In 2025 the lowest Adjusted Profit was a loss of $15,244 and the highest $930,633. Table 1 reports the affiliate's Poughkeepsie, New York outlet, sold to a franchisee in 2025, with 2025 Gross Sales of $3,311,488.

How to interpret The Brothers that just do Gutters’s Item 19 figures and sample limits · What Item 19 does and does not show about owner pay.
Item 6 charges the greater of 6% of weekly Gross Sales or a minimum weekly royalty per territory after the first 12 months, 10% on sales to customers outside the territory, and a local marketing spend of the greater of 3% of sales or a monthly dollar minimum. A single annual sales figure cannot show which weeks or months trigger those minimums or the sales mix, so this record does not produce an annual fee estimate or payback preset. Reported sales are not owner income.
Scope of these figures: The selected The Brothers that just do Gutters disclosures above retain their recorded periods and samples. The lead figure covers 71 of 91 Operational Franchise Outlets (20 excluded for unreliable or missing records or partial-year closure), operating in one to twelve Territories; 27 (38%) were above the average.
