* Financial performance data is provided for 60 franchisee-owned Image Studios Salons for the 2024 calendar year, segmented by occupancy percentage.

Specifically: - **average_gross_revenue**: (29 * $503,685 + 13 * $396,333 + 4 * $352,681 + 14 * $328,872) / 60 = $429,568.77. - **average_ebitda**: Approximated by 'Estimated Earnings Before Royalties': (29 * $255,286 + 13 * $168,014 + 4 * $124,194 + 14 * $59,415) / 60 = $181,934.37. - **average_net_profit**: '2024 Estimated Earnings After Key Expenses' which is defined as Total Revenue minus Total Key Operating Expenses and Total Royalty Expense: (29 * $217,510 + 13 * $138,289 + 4 * $97,743 + 14 * $34,750) / 60 = $149,716.98. - **ebitda_margin_pct**: average_ebitda / average_gross_revenue = $181,934.37 / $429,568.77 = 0.4235. - **revenue_top_quartile**: The average revenue for the highest-performing segment (90%+ occupancy) = $503,685. - **revenue_bottom_quartile**: The average revenue for the lowest-performing segment (<70% occupancy) = $328,872. - **median_gross_revenue**: The median revenue from the 80-89% occupancy segment ($351,482) was used as the overall median falls within this segment (units 30-42). - **best_guess_profit_low**: The average 'Estimated Earnings After Key Expenses' from the lowest-performing segment (<70% occupancy) = $34,750. - **best_guess_profit_high**: The average 'Estimated Earnings After Key Expenses' from the highest-performing segment (90%+ occupancy) = $217,510.
