## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $5.3B (FY2025), total debt $514.8M. Experience: revenue down 5.4% on the year, up 1.7% a year over 4 years; operating margin 2.2%, down from 2.6%. Soundness: equity 63.0% of assets, return on equity 5.2%, payout 14.7% of profit. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $4.4B and $5.7B 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 $4.0B to $6.2B. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (10 filers, $50M+ revenue, retail-grocery stores): operating margin 2.2% against a 2.3% median; growth -5.4% against 4.4%.
