Data Based On: One Corporate and six franchised Game Show Studio Businesses open for at least one full calendar month in 2025. Data includes gross sales for months of operation in 2025.

* Average Gross Revenue (annual) calculated as the weighted average of monthly gross sales for 6 franchised studios (sum of total annual sales for all 6 studios divided by the sum of their full operational months in 2025), then multiplied by 12 months. Total full operational months were: FS1 (12), FS2 (9), FS3 (7), FS4 (6), FS5 (5), FS6 (1). Median Gross Revenue (annual) calculated as the median of the individual median monthly gross sales for the 6 franchised studios, then multiplied by 12 months. Average Gross Profit (annual) and Average EBITDA (annual) for franchised units were estimated by applying the corporate unit's gross profit margin (95.5%) and EBITDA margin (29.0%) to the calculated franchised average annual gross revenue. Best guess profit range (low/high) was estimated by applying a +/- 5 percentage point variation to the corporate EBITDA margin to the franchised average annual gross revenue, to account for potential variability in expenses for single-room franchised units as noted in the FDD.
