No company-owned or affiliate locations are included. Transfers indicate dealer changes within operating territories. See Item 20 for full annual and state-by-state breakdowns.
Cornwell Quality Tools included an Item 19 financial performance representation in both the 2025 and 2026 filings. The 2026 filing discloses financial performance, broken out across 4 outlet segments for January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025.
Neither filing states Cornwell Quality Tools' ongoing royalty as a single percentage rate, so there is no rate to compare year-over-year.
