## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $3.0B (FY2017), total debt $4.8B. Experience: revenue down 2.0% on the year, up 3.9% a year over 4 years; operating margin 20.4%, down from 20.5%. Soundness: equity 23.0% of assets, return on equity 18.3%, payout 41.6% of profit. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $2.7B and $3.2B next year (method v4.1: its own 6-year record of growth weighed at 63% 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 $2.5B to $3.4B. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (40 filers, $50M+ revenue, electric services): operating margin 20.4% against a 20.3% median; growth -2.0% against 9.4%.
