Hydrotherapy Spa can realistically raise its operating margin from initial losses (EBITDA of -$162,000 in 2026) to a stable 17–18% by 2027, generating $149,000 in EBITDA This turnaround takes about 13 months, requiring sharp focus on average revenue per visit (ARPV) and labor efficiency Initial ARPV starts around $61 in 2026, but must rise to nearly $82 by 2027 to cover the $598,000 annual fixed overhead and wages Success hinges on maximizing high-margin bundled packages and controlling the 130% variable costs (supplies and utilities)\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv
