## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $730.2M (FY2025), total debt $2.7B. Experience: revenue up 28.3% on the year, up 27.7% a year over 4 years; operating margin 14.3%, down from 25.4%. Soundness: equity 16.8% of assets, return on equity 17.2%, payout 7.7% of profit, the dividend per share fell in the latest year on record. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $803.1M and $1.1B next year (method v4.1: its own 4-year record of growth weighed at 50% against $100M–1B 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 $743.9M to $1.2B. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (9 filers, $50M+ revenue, its industry group): operating margin 14.3% against a 8.0% median; growth 28.3% against 4.8%.
