## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $1.6B (FY2026), total debt $839.3M. Experience: revenue up 24.6% on the year, up 42.9% a year over 4 years; operating margin 4.5%, down from 12.0%. Soundness: equity 47.2% of assets, return on equity 2.3%. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $1.8B and $2.6B 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 $1.5B to $3.0B. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (10 filers, $50M+ revenue, perfumes, cosmetics & other toilet preparations): operating margin 4.5% against a 3.3% median; growth 24.6% against 0.1%.
