QC Kinetix’s 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document reports these 2025 Operating Income figures for 39 franchised outlets that operated for the full year and supplied complete financial information. The measure is the strongest available earnings evidence, but it is not the same as an owner’s salary, distributions, cash after debt service, or after-tax take-home pay.
Legal franchisor: QC Franchise Group LLC. FDD issuance date: April 30, 2026. Item 19 status: historic revenue, expense, Gross Profit, and Operating Income disclosure. Population: 39 reporting franchised outlets out of 100 franchised outlets open for all 12 months of 2025; company-operated outlets were excluded. QC Kinetix offers a standalone Standard Model and an in-clinic Express Model, but the disclosure does not divide the reporting sample by model. Supporting sections reviewed include Items 5, 6, 7, 15, 19, and 20. Official supplemental sources are the Federal Trade Commission and U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Data checked July 18, 2026.

Revenue per reporting franchised outlet for the 2025 reporting period; revenue is not owner earnings.
The disclosed earnings measure divided by reported revenue.
Only 39% of eligible full-year franchised outlets supplied complete financial data.
The largest separately reported operating expense line, equal to 22.67% of average revenue.
2025 BLS median annual wage for medical and health services managers in ambulatory health care services; benefits and payroll taxes are additional.
What did the 2026 disclosure actually report?
It reported Operating Income, not owner compensation. The official 2025 median was $108,641.99 and the official average was $176,701.83 for 39 reporting franchised outlets. The FDD also reported a minimum loss of $193,744.93 and a maximum of $1,167,538.75.
The disclosure is outlet-level, not owner-level. It does not say how many reporting outlets belonged to multi-unit owners, whether an owner’s salary was booked in Payroll, or whether the Standard Model and Express Model had materially different economics. The figures were not audited by a certified public accountant.

Official minimum, median, average, and maximum for the 39 reporting franchised outlets in 2025.
Interpretation: the average sits above the median, indicating that higher-performing outlets pulled the mean upward. The minimum-to-maximum span is an observed range, not a forecast or a probability distribution.

The $924,273 average Sales Revenue figure answers how much business the reporting outlets generated, not how much an owner kept. The relevant earnings measure is Operating Income after Medical Supplies Costs and the operating-expense lines listed by Item 19.
How did average revenue become the disclosed earnings measure?
Average revenue of $924,272.54 became a $176,701.83 reported result after $94,657.96 of Medical Supplies Costs and $652,912.75 of listed Operating Expenses. This is an official same-FDD reconciliation for the 2025 reporting sample.
The Item 19 bridge reconciles to 100% of average Sales Revenue.
Interpretation: advertising and marketing at 22.67% of Sales Revenue and payroll at 22.13% were the two largest separately reported operating-expense lines. Revenue productivity against those two costs is therefore a major earnings driver.
Source: QC Kinetix 2026 Franchise Disclosure Document, Item 19, pp. 61–63. The 10.24% supplies share is derived from the disclosed dollar amounts so the bridge reconciles to 100%; the other percentages are stated in the FDD. Dollar values are rounded to the nearest dollar.
- Sales Revenue
- Top-line revenue earned from the QC Kinetix Business. It is not owner income.
- Gross Profit
- Sales Revenue minus Medical Supplies Costs under the FDD’s definition. It is not the same as Operating Income.
- Operating Income
- The residual after the listed operating expenses. Item 19 does not separately define the treatment of owner salary, depreciation, interest, income taxes, capital expenditures, or debt principal.
- Franchise fees in the model
- Item 19 already contains “Franchise Fees,” “Technology and Call Center Fees,” and “Advertising & Marketing” expense lines. Subtracting the Item 6 royalty, brand fund, technology, call center, or marketing obligations a second time would risk double counting.
How does owner involvement change QC Kinetix earnings?
Owner involvement changes whether the business pays a separate manager and whether part of the owner’s economic benefit is compensation for full-time management work. The FDD permits either the owner or an approved manager to provide direct, day-to-day, full-time supervision, but the FDD does not quantify the earnings difference between those operating structures.
The disclosure reports average labor expense of $204,539.15, but it does not break that figure into licensed medical providers, administrative staff, clinic management, or owner compensation. That prevents a reliable conversion from the reported result to “owner salary.”
| Operating structure | What the evidence supports | Earnings interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| Manager-run | An approved, trained manager may provide full-time supervision under Item 15. | Manager compensation should be an operating expense. The FDD does not confirm whether every reporting outlet included a comparable manager cost. |
| Owner-supervised | The owner may provide the required direct, day-to-day, full-time supervision. | Cash may be higher if a separate manager is not paid, but the difference compensates the owner for labor and should be labeled owner-operator benefit, not passive profit. |
| Clinical staffing | Licensed medical providers deliver clinical services; the franchisee may also use an MSO/PC structure where state law requires it. | Medical-provider economics cannot be isolated from the single labor line in the disclosure. |
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports a 2025 median annual wage of $103,640 for medical and health services managers in ambulatory health care services. This is a labor-market reference, not a franchise earnings claim. It should not be mechanically added to the FDD’s $176,702 average because the disclosure does not state whether owner pay or a manager wage was already included in labor expense. Employer payroll taxes and benefits would also raise the cost above wage alone.
How much uncertainty surrounds the reported earnings?
The evidence confidence is Moderate. The 2026 FDD provides a current, same-brand earnings disclosure, but only 39 of 100 eligible full-year franchised outlets reported complete financial information, the model mix is unspecified, and owner compensation is not separately defined.
| 2025 population or system measure | Official count | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Franchised outlets open for all 12 months | 100 | Eligible full-year population for the earnings table. |
| Outlets supplying complete financials | 39 | The financial performance representation covers 39% of the eligible population. |
| Eligible outlets not supplying complete financials | 61 | Their performance is unknown, creating nonresponse risk. |
| Franchised outlets at start / end of 2025 | 153 / 104 | Item 20 shows a net decline of 49 franchised outlets during 2025. |
| 2025 terminations / ceased operations for other reasons | 32 / 22 | These counts require diligence, but Item 20 does not establish that earnings caused an exit. |

The 39 reporting outlets may not represent the 61 nonreporting full-year outlets or the outlets that closed, transferred, or were terminated. The Federal Trade Commission advises buyers to examine sample size, source limitations, and whether an average is lifted by a small number of high results.
What should a buyer verify before using the figures?
Verify the chart of accounts and the reporting population before treating the disclosed result as owner benefit. The FDD states that written substantiation will be available on reasonable request.
- Request written substantiation for the earnings table and ask for the distribution beyond minimum, median, average, and maximum.
- Ask how many of the 39 reporting outlets were Standard Model versus Express Model clinics.
- Confirm whether Payroll included owner wages, manager wages, benefits, payroll taxes, and all clinical-provider compensation.
- Reconcile the “Franchise Fees,” technology/call center, and advertising lines to the current Item 6 obligations.
- Interview current franchisees near the median, not only high performers, and contact former franchisees listed in Item 20 exhibits.
- Model interest, debt principal, capital expenditures, working capital, and personal taxes separately.
What is a reasonable annual earnings range for an owner?
The strongest defensible central decision interval is $108,642 to $176,702 of annual Operating Income per reporting outlet. The lower endpoint is the official 2025 median and the upper endpoint is the official 2025 average. This is more decision-useful than treating the full observed minimum-to-maximum range of −$193,745 to $1,167,539 as a forecast.
This median-to-average interval is an independent analytical planning range, not a separate financial performance representation by QC Franchise Group LLC. It combines two disclosed FDD statistics as central anchors and does not estimate owner salary, personal income taxes, financing principal, or after-tax take-home pay. Actual results can differ materially by location, Standard Model or Express Model format, sales volume, labor, occupancy, financing, owner involvement, marketing efficiency, clinical structure, and execution.
A manager-run owner should focus on the residual business result after a market-rate manager and all employment burden. An owner-operator may receive additional economic benefit by doing the required management work, but that labor value is not passive business profit. The largest operating driver in the disclosed average is the relationship between revenue and two major expenses: Advertising & Marketing at 22.67% and labor at 22.13%.
The largest unresolved uncertainty is comparability: the disclosure does not separate Standard Model from Express Model outlets, does not explain owner-compensation treatment, and excludes 61 eligible full-year outlets that did not supply complete financial information. A buyer should therefore verify written substantiation, model-specific economics, manager compensation, and debt service, then test the numbers in interviews with both current and former franchisees.
