## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $1.6B (FY2025), total debt $1.9B. Experience: revenue up 0.8% on the year, up 10.5% a year over 4 years; operating margin 28.1%, down from 29.3%. Soundness: equity 6.2% of assets, return on equity 204.1%, payout 14.5% of profit. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $1.4B and $1.9B next year (method v4.1: its own 4-year record of growth weighed at 50% 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 $1.2B to $2.1B. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (19 filers, $50M+ revenue, hotels & motels): operating margin 28.1% against a 15.8% median; growth 0.8% against 3.8%.
