## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $7.7B (FY2025), total debt $21.5B. Experience: revenue down 0.4% on the year, down 2.5% a year over 4 years; operating margin 22.8%, down from 25.5%. Soundness: equity 42.9% of assets, return on equity 6.4%, payout 16.4% of profit. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $6.3B and $8.5B 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 $5.6B to $9.5B. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (70 filers, $50M+ revenue, services-business services, nec): operating margin 22.8% against a 7.9% median; growth -0.4% against 10.2%.
