(Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) margin of nearly 60% in Year 1 ($18 million on $304 million revenue) Your focus must shift from basic break-even (achieved in Month 1) to maximizing capacity utilization and optimizing the service mix The primary financial lever is increasing surgeon utilization from the initial 65% to the target of 85% by Year 4, which drives revenue from $304 million to over $13 million By optimizing staff scheduling and cross-selling high-margin services like PRP treatments, you can defintely raise the overall operating margin to 73%
