* All average calculations are based on the sum of values for the four full-year operating affiliate outlets (Point Loma, Otay Ranch, Grossmont Centre, La Costa) for 2023, divided by 4. 'Net Profit' is considered 'Net Income' based on the definitions in Notes 4, 5, and 6, where 'Other Expenses' (including interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) are deducted.

The 'best_guess_profit_low' and 'best_guess_profit_high' are derived from the minimum and maximum 'Adjusted Net Profit' values of the individual outlets, which are $209,867 and $539,229 respectively.
