This is an exhibit detailing energy bar and smoothie sales data for the University of Houston-Clear Lake (UHCL) cafeteria operations covering two academic years: 2022-2023 and 2023-2024. The document tracks sales performance across multiple product categories and payment methods, including lunch taxable sales, retail taxable sales, and declining balance meal plan transactions. The data is organized by month from August through May for each fiscal year, providing comparative metrics for evaluating vendor performance and sales trends in the campus food service environment.

The sales data reveals significant transaction volumes across both years, with total UHCL Smoothie sales reaching 35,837 units in 2023-2024 compared to 34,378 units in 2022-2023, representing a modest year-over-year increase of approximately 4.2 percent. Cafe sales, which combine lunch and retail taxable categories, constituted the largest revenue segment in both years at 29,016 units (2023-2024) and 29,974 units (2022-2023), while declining balance meal plan purchases generated 6,821 units and 4,404 units respectively. Monthly fluctuations are evident, with sales peaks occurring during the fall semester months (September-October) and notable declines during winter break periods (December-January), indicating seasonal patterns typical of academic calendars that should inform vendor forecasting and inventory management.
