Data Based On: Data is based on 6 corporate-owned Swim Schools, with financial performance adjusted to reflect expected franchise fees for the fiscal year 2024.

* Average Gross Profit calculated as Average Gross Sales ($1,639,380) minus Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of Goods Sold is $0 as per Note 4. The average EBITDA ($423,776) was verified by summing all listed average expenses (Occupancy: $232,621, Advertising: $98,363, Payroll: $521,571, Insurance: $31,854, Royalty and Technology Fees: $106,560, Other Costs: $224,636) and subtracting them from average gross sales (1639380 - 0 - 232621 - 98363 - 521571 - 31854 - 106560 - 224636 = 423775, which is consistent with the reported $423,776 due to rounding). Best guess profit range (low and high) is estimated using the reported 'Low' ($203,431) and 'High' ($888,484) EBITDA values from Table 2, representing the range of profit experienced by the reporting units.
