TABLE A (First Agencies Only) - 2025 Revenue p. 86 ↗
This figure sits on a wider basis than the strictest one: the group behind it was widened, or its middle was worked out by us rather than printed.
BrightStar Care’s figure covers the 207 location or territorys it counted, each open for at least a full year — not every location it has open.
This is revenue — what those businesses billed. It is not profit, and nothing in this filing says what an owner took home.
What the filing means by revenue: revenue — a different term from the one the royalty is charged on.
The franchisor took these from its own records.
The filing does not say the figures were audited.
Inside that group, BrightStar Care’s businesses ran from $115K to $14.78M.
What the businesses in that group billed
Every figure here describes the same group of businesses.

| Statistic | Annual revenue |
|---|---|
| The lowest | $115K |
| The middle business | $1.94M |
| The average | $2.41M |
| The highest | $14.78M |
All of these come from one table, so they describe one group of businesses. Statistics from two different tables would describe two different groups, and the distance between them would be an artefact of putting them side by side.
The systems that count the same thing BrightStar Care counts
5 systems that report the same way, side by side
All of them report one location or territory, everything billed, open for a full year.

| System | Annual revenue |
|---|---|
| Amada Senior Care | $1.24M |
| BrightStar Care | $1.94M |
| CareBuilders at Home | $1.61M |
| ComForCare | $850K |
| FirstLight Home Care | $1.13M |
| Homewatch CareGivers | $666K |
These systems share a unit basis, a revenue definition and a maturity rule, which is the only condition under which two of these figures can be set beside each other. Systems reporting on any other basis are not in this chart and are not behind it.
BrightStar Care spells out 10 of the basic facts behind its revenue figures — above typical in this field.
This counts how many of the basic facts behind a revenue figure the filing spells out — who was counted, over what period, on what basis. It measures the disclosure, not the businesses: a system can explain little and trade well.

How to read owner revenue
- Revenue is not profit. Item 19 reports what businesses billed, before caregiver wages, rent, insurance or anything else. No figure in these filings says what an owner took home.
- The cohort is the fact. A filing chooses which businesses to report on — how many, how long open, whether a location or an owner's whole operation. Change that choice and the number changes, so we state it beside the figure every time.
- Two systems' figures only compare when they were measured the same way. Same kind of unit, same definition of revenue, same maturity rule. Where fewer than three systems report a figure the same way, there is no comparison to make and we do not invent one.

What this filing does not disclose
- A figure on the strictest basis: the cohort behind this one was widened or estimated, and it is labelled where it appears.
Every figure on this page is read from BrightStar Care’s own 2026 disclosure document. At most one revenue statistic per system becomes its headline, chosen by a published rule that prefers franchised units, a unit-level basis, a mature group and the largest count. Figures from systems that report on a different basis are never pooled with these. p. 86 ↗
