## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $759.4M (FY2025). Experience: revenue up 25.3% on the year, up 30.6% a year over 4 years; operating margin 11.6%, up from 10.5%. Soundness: equity 67.7% of assets, return on equity 18.9%. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $828.4M 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 $776.1M to $1.1B. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (10 filers, $50M+ revenue, food and kindred products): operating margin 11.6% against a 7.3% median; growth 25.3% against 4.4%.
