Item 19 Financial Performance
Data Based On: 5 disclosed outlets (2 company-owned, 3 franchised) operated continuously for the full year 2023 (January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023).
* The document provides 'Average Net Revenue per Retail Sale' for franchised outlets, but explicitly states that 'Retail sales represent separate sales from the studio art experience.' As such, this data does not represent the total gross revenue per franchise unit, which includes both retail sales and studio art experience revenue. Without total gross revenue per unit, other unit-level financial performance metrics (median revenue, profit, EBITDA, and profit estimations) cannot be accurately determined or calculated from the provided information.
