same store sales growth
financial
“Same Store Sales Growth(1) increased 4.2% compared to the prior year period”
Same store sales growth measures how revenue from a retailer’s or chain’s locations that have been open for a defined prior period changes compared with the same period before, excluding stores or outlets opened or closed recently. It matters to investors because it isolates organic customer demand—like checking how the fruit yield from the same trees changed year to year rather than counting fruit from newly planted trees—so it shows whether existing operations are truly improving or weakening.
adjusted ebitda
financial
“Adjusted EBITDA(2) grew 17.2% to $9.4 million”
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
store-level profit
financial
“Store-Level Profit(2) of $19.0 million”
Store-level profit is the money a single retail location keeps after covering the costs directly tied to its sales — like the goods sold, staff hours, rent and utilities for that store — but before company-wide expenses such as corporate salaries, marketing headquarters or interest and taxes. Investors care because it shows the basic earning power and efficiency of each outlet, much like judging a single lemonade stand’s success before you pay for the franchise office; strong store-level profit suggests the business model can scale profitably.
non-gaap financial measures
financial
“These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute”
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release contains “non-GAAP financial measures” that are financial measures that either exclude or include amounts that are not excluded or included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Specifically, we make use of the non-GAAP financial measures “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted EBITDA Margin”, “Store-Level Profit”, “Store-Level Profit Margin”, “Adjusted Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses”, and “Adjusted Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses Margin”. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures assist investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our operating performance. Management supplements GAAP results with non-GAAP financial measures to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting the business than GAAP results alone provide. Please refer to the tables in this press release for a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable financial measure prepared in accordance with GAAP. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
Store-Level Profit and Store-Level Profit Margin
Store-Level Profit represents store revenue in the specific period less beverage, food and packaging, labor and related expenses, occupancy and related expenses, and other store operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization and pre-opening costs in the period.
Store-Level Profit Margin represents Store-Level Profit as a percentage of store revenue. We use Store-Level Profit and Store-Level Profit Margin in our evaluation of the performance and profitability of each store.
We use Store-Level Profit and Store-Level Profit Margin to supplement GAAP measures of performance in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, and to compare our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss) adjusted to exclude interest expense, net, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization, further adjusted to exclude certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance, including transaction costs associated with our initial public offering (“IPO”), capital restructuring costs, equity-based compensation, gain (loss) on the remeasurement of the liability related to the TRA, certain litigation costs, net and other non-core costs. Adjusted EBITDA Margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of Total revenue.
We use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to supplement GAAP measures of performance in the evaluation of the effectiveness of our business strategies, to make budgeting decisions, and to compare our performance against that of other peer companies using similar measures.
Adjusted Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses and Adjusted Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses Margin
Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative Expenses is selling, general, and administrative expenses adjusted to exclude transaction costs, equity-based compensation, legal settlement, net and other costs. Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Margin represents Adjusted Selling, General and Administrative Expenses as a percentage of Total revenue.
We use Adjusted Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses and Adjusted Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses Margin because it may provide a more meaningful comparison to prior periods and may be indicative of the level of such expenses to be incurred in future periods.

(1) Same Store Sales Growth reflects the change in year-over-year sales for the comparable store base, which we define as stores open for 18 months or longer.
(2) See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a discussion of Store-Level Profit, Store-Level Profit Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin and reconciliation of each measure to its most directly comparable GAAP measure.
(3) The Company does not consider income from operations, income from operations margin, net income (loss) or net income (loss) margin to be key performance measures but has included such metrics in this table to provide the most directly comparable GAAP metric to Store-Level Profit, Store-Level Profit Margin, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin.
(4) Total store operating weeks are calculated based on the number of operating days for the store base and dividing by 7. Our store base is defined as stores opened as of the period end date. Management uses this metric as an indicator of our overall financial health, growth and future expansion prospects.
Supplemental Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP Actuals to Non-GAAP Actuals

These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and reconciliations from U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP measures should be carefully evaluated. Please refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in this press release for a detailed explanation of the adjustments made to the comparable U.S. GAAP measures, the ways management uses the non-GAAP measures, and the reasons why management believes the non-GAAP measures provide useful information for investors.
