## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $8.6B (FY2026), total debt $3.4B. Experience: revenue down 5.4% on the year, down 6.0% a year over 4 years; operating margin -0.5%, up from -7.8%. Soundness: equity 18.6% of assets, return on equity 2.0%, payout 136.4% of profit. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $7.1B and $9.3B 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 $6.4B to $10.3B. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (17 filers, $50M+ revenue, its industry group): operating margin -0.5% against a 4.0% median; growth -5.4% against 4.2%.
