Data Based On: 27 Company-Owned Outlets (16 full-time, 11 part-time) open for the entire FY 2024 Measuring Period.
* Calculated weighted average gross revenue per unit: (Total Net Sales from 16 Full-Time Outlets + Total Net Sales from 11 Part-Time Outlets) / Total 27 Outlets = ($8,534,312 + $2,244,657) / 27 = $399,221.07. Calculated weighted average EBITDA per unit: (Total EBITDA from 16 Full-Time Outlets + Total EBITDA from 11 Part-Time Outlets) / Total 27 Outlets = ($1,820,327 + $79,557) / 27 = $70,366.07. EBITDA margin percentage calculated as Total EBITDA / Total Net Sales = $1,899,884 / $10,778,969 = 0.1763 (17.63%). Best guess profit range estimated using the overall average gross revenue per unit ($399,221.07) and the range of Adjusted Margins (4% to 21%) observed in the part-time and full-time company-owned outlets, respectively: Low = $399,221.07 * 0.04 = $15,968.84; High = $399,221.07 * 0.21 = $83,836.42.
