Does Christian Brothers Automotive’s Item 19 show profit or owner pay?
No. Christian Brothers Automotive’s Item 19 reports sales but no profit, costs or owner pay. Rent, payroll, supplies, loan payments and Item 6 fees such as the royalty (50% of monthly Split Profits) come out of sales before an owner is paid, so these figures cannot show what an owner earns.

Item 19 sample and definitions
Item 19 PDF pp. 65-72 derives figures from unaudited financial statements and franchisee sales reports. The 2025 average and median Net Sales cover all 302 franchised stores open the entire year, excluding 24 opened during the year. Existing franchisees can have different royalty and approved owner-salary terms; selected cost schedules are adjusted to the current offering. Net Sales is not Split Profits or take-home owner income.
How to interpret Christian Brothers Automotive’s Item 19 figures and sample limits · What Item 19 does and does not show about owner pay.
The royalty is 50% of Split Profits, a defined amount after approved Shared Expenses, rather than a percentage of Item 19 Net Sales. Marketing payments are prorated program costs with a combined cap based on the prior-year average revenue of eligible stores, not a flat share of this outlet’s sales. Rent, software pass-throughs and tax services vary. The sales figure cannot support a single annual fee illustration. Reported sales are not owner income.
Scope of these figures: The selected Christian Brothers Automotive disclosures above retain their recorded periods and samples. The lead figure covers 302 franchisee-owned stores open the entire year 2025. They do not establish take-home owner income or the results of a new outlet. Read the linked Item 19 for the franchisor's definitions and exclusions.
