The document explicitly states that financial performance representations do not include costs of sales, operating expenses, or other costs/expenses to obtain net income or profit (page 1). Therefore, net income, net profit, EBITDA, and estimated profit ranges cannot be determined. Median gross revenue is provided per category (Tables 1, 4, 7) but not as a single combined overall figure; a true combined median cannot be derived without the full individual sales data.
