## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $190.5M (FY2026). Experience: revenue down 14.3% on the year, down 6.3% a year over 4 years; operating margin -4.7%, down from -0.1%. Soundness: equity 73.2% of assets, return on equity -5.6%. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $140.1M and $214.8M next year (method v4.1: its own 5-year record of growth weighed at 57% 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 $125.8M to $240.4M. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (9 filers, $50M+ revenue, sporting & athletic goods, nec): operating margin -4.7% against a -1.5% median; growth -14.3% against -4.5%.
