Average annual revenue

European Wax Center reports $896,000 in average annual sales, rounded, for U.S. franchised and company-owned centers open at least 52 weeks in fiscal 2025. Sales include cash collected from prepaid wax passes. The published AUV is 896 in USD thousands for the year ended January 3, 2026, a 52-week fiscal year. The prior-year 915 thousand is a different observation and is not substituted. The issuer defines AUV as annual system-wide sales for centers open for a trailing 52-week period or longer. System-wide sales include same-day services, retail sales and cash collected from wax passes. This cash-collection measure differs from revenue recognized when prepaid services are performed. The AUV combines company-owned and franchised centers. An AUV-specific denominator and separate franchise-only result are not disclosed in the cited table. The 1,047 year-end network centers are inventory, not a stated AUV sample. The source’s exclusion for centers closed more than six consecutive days belongs to same-store sales. It is not assigned to AUV. No additional closure, transfer or center-format screen is inferred. The network operates across 44 states and the District of Columbia. This is center sales volume, not consolidated franchisor revenue, median revenue, operating profit or owner income. The later 10-K/A explanatory note identifies Part III governance additions. The selected operational metric remains bound to the original March 4, 2026 filing. European Wax Center centers; no separate format cohort in AUV table
