## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $449.0M (FY2025), total debt $544.8M. Experience: revenue down 5.3% on the year, down 11.8% a year over 4 years; operating margin -4.3%, down from 0.3%. Soundness: equity -13.6% of assets (liabilities exceed assets). Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $280.4M and $525.5M 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 $239.2M to $619.9M. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (40 filers, $50M+ revenue, services-computer programming, data processing, etc.): operating margin -4.3% against a 2.9% median; growth -5.3% against 5.7%.
