Does Tim Hortons’s Item 19 show profit or owner pay?
No. Tim Hortons’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 (4.5% – 6% of Gross Sales) 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's monthly sales group is 585 of 659 franchised Standard Shops open at year end, including 17 New Model Shops. It excludes ten Operator Agreement Shops, 52 with fewer than ten reported months, and twelve with inconsistent information. It includes some Shops opened during 2025, so a monthly average must not be described as a full-year sales amount. The smaller cost-of-goods and labor sample of 510 Shops does not establish net profit or owner pay. The franchisor relied on unaudited franchisee reports.
How to interpret Tim Hortons’s Item 19 figures and sample limits · What Item 19 does and does not show about owner pay.
Item 19 reports average monthly rather than annual Gross Sales. The royalty ranges by agreement, and some Shops have separate occupancy charges, so the disclosed monthly figure cannot support the site's simplified annual fee model. Reported sales are not owner income.
Scope of these figures: The selected Tim Hortons disclosures above retain their recorded periods and samples. The lead figure covers 585 franchised Standard Shops reporting at least ten months of 2025 sales. 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.
