## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $1.4B (FY2026), total debt $347.2M. Experience: revenue down 6.5% on the year, up 3.8% a year over 4 years; operating margin -13.2%, down from 10.8%. Soundness: equity 71.3% of assets, return on equity -10.7%. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $1.2B and $1.5B 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 $1.1B to $1.6B. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (10 filers, $50M+ revenue, food and kindred products): operating margin -13.2% against a 7.3% median; growth -6.5% against 4.4%.
