Data Based On: 6 Musicologie Studios (4 Company-owned, 2 Franchisee-owned) in operation for more than 12 months between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024.

* Average Gross Revenue and Median Gross Revenue are taken directly from the 'Average' and 'Median' rows of Table 1 (page 2) and Table 4 (page 3/4), respectively. Average EBITDA and EBITDA Margin Percentage are from the 'Average' row of the EBITDA section in Table 4 (page 4). These figures represent a combined sample of 4 company-owned and 2 franchisee-owned studios that were operational for more than 12 months between January 1, 2024, and December 31, 2024. 'Net Income' and 'Net Profit' were not explicitly provided in the specific definitions required, so they are set to null. The 'Best Guess Profit Low' and 'Best Guess Profit High' are based on the minimum and maximum EBITDA values observed among the six individual studios listed in Table 4 (page 4). The minimum EBITDA was $3,805 (Studio D) and the maximum EBITDA was $228,231 (Studio A). This range represents the actual observed spread in profitability before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization for the studios in the sample.
