Financial Performance
Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 4 affiliate-owned outlets open and operating for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.
* 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. 'EBITDA' is calculated as 'Average Gross Profit' ($1,013,198.0) minus 'Average Expenses' ($422,778.0). 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.
