## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $1.5B (FY2025), total debt $710.8M. Experience: revenue down 16.6% on the year, down 2.7% a year over 4 years; operating margin 5.0%, up from -0.7%. Soundness: equity 28.4% of assets, return on equity -5.1%, dividend per share up 12 years running. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $1.1B and $1.5B 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 $1.0B to $1.7B. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (17 filers, $50M+ revenue, its industry group): operating margin 5.0% against a 8.1% median; growth -16.6% against 10.6%.
