## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $2.1B (FY2025), total debt $167.0M. Experience: revenue up 5.4% on the year, up 6.4% a year over 4 years; operating margin 12.6%, up from 12.1%. Soundness: equity 68.0% of assets, return on equity 11.2%, payout 33.6% of profit, dividend per share up 8 years running. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $1.9B and $2.5B next year (method v4.1: its own 4-year record of growth weighed at 50% 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 $1.7B to $2.7B. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (8 filers, $50M+ revenue, its industry group): operating margin 12.6% against a 5.2% median; growth 5.4% against 7.5%.
