The downside combination — membership a quarter below plan, utilisation six points lower and overhead six per cent higher, all at once — still leaves Year 5 EBITDA at R2.05 million and profit after tax at R1.03 million. That is a resilient position, and it reflects the fact that by Year 5 the fixed cost base is carried by a business operating at only 64 per cent nail utilisation with 585 members.
