Data Based On: Three corporate- and affiliate-owned parks open for the entire 2024 calendar year, consisting of two corporate-owned parks and one affiliate-owned park.

* All extracted financial performance data is based on corporate-owned and affiliate-owned parks. The document explicitly states that the Summary Income Statements (Page 1-2) are for "all three Slick City parks open throughout the period of January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024," comprising "Two of the parks are corporate-owned and one park is an affiliate-owned." Note 11 (Page 4) further clarifies that "Because no franchise parks were open in the prior fiscal year that this summary income statement is based on, this summary income statement is based entirely on corporate and affiliate parks." The 31, 90, and 180-day sales data (Page 6-7) also exclude the single franchise park that was not open for at least 31 days. The 'Profit Before Excluded Expenses' from the table is considered 'EBITDA' as per Note 12, which clarifies it's before taxes, capital, interest expense, and non-cash items, and explicitly states it is not 'net income' or 'net profit'. EBITDA margin for the average park was confirmed by dividing Average Profit Before Excluded Expenses ($2,035,744.84) by Average Gross Sales ($4,960,063.79), which yields approximately 0.4104 (41.04%). No explicit ranges or sufficient detail on excluded expenses are provided to estimate a net profit range from EBITDA.
