Does Zerorez’s Item 19 show profit or owner pay?
Partly. Besides sales, Zerorez’s Item 19 reports “Average Contribution Margin (Gross Profit less Advertising & Marketing)” and “Contribution Margin of the franchise with the median Gross Revenues”. Each figure follows the franchisor’s own definition in Item 19, which decides which costs are deducted and whether an owner’s salary is one of them. None of them is necessarily an owner’s take-home pay.

Item 19 sample and definitions
Item 19 (PDF pages 45-47) reports unaudited 2025 results for 43 of 60 franchisees with at least one year of operating history; it excludes five with under a year, 12 that did not report properly, five franchises that closed during 2025 and two that transferred. 14 of the 43 (32.6%) attained or surpassed the average Gross Revenues and 21 (48.8%) the median; Gross Revenues ranged from $31,163 to $12,914,633. Median, high and low figures for categories other than Gross Revenues belong to the franchise with the median, high or low Gross Revenues. Contribution Margin is Gross Profit (Gross Revenues less Costs of Goods Sold) less Advertising & Marketing expenses; owners' cash distributions are not reflected (notes 3-6). Commercial services account for about 10% of system revenue (note 1).
