in revenue in 2026, but the initial EBITDA margin sits around 166% You can realistically raise this margin by 10-15 percentage points within the first two years by focusing on three areas: optimizing the product mix, cutting COGS from 130% to under 10%, and maximizing high-margin ancillary revenue like media packages The current plan projects EBITDA growth to $3796 million by 2030, reaching a 527%
