## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $4.0B (FY2026), total debt $476.5M. Experience: revenue up 6.4% on the year, up 2.1% a year over 4 years; operating margin 8.0%, down from 8.0%. Soundness: equity 56.8% of assets, return on equity 15.6%, dividend per share up 2 years running. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $3.6B and $4.5B next year (method v4.1: its own 5-year record of growth weighed at 57% against $1B–10B filers; across 2019–2025, 69.0% landed inside, 83.4% on the one year the method never saw). In a shock year the stress range is $3.3B to $4.9B. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (9 filers, $50M+ revenue, its industry group): operating margin 8.0% against a 8.0% median; growth 6.4% against 4.8%.
