## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $174.3M (FY2025). Experience: revenue up 9.4% on the year, up 7.8% a year over 4 years; operating margin 13.4%, up from 11.0%. Soundness: equity 34.3% of assets, return on equity 9.9%, payout 87.1% of profit, dividend per share up 1 year running. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $164.9M and $210.8M 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 $155.0M to $224.8M. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (79 filers, $50M+ revenue, real estate investment trusts): operating margin 13.4% against a 24.7% median; growth 9.4% against 3.7%.
