## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $1.0B (FY2026), total debt $325.0M. Experience: revenue down 2.8% on the year, down 3.3% a year over 4 years; operating margin 0.9%, up from -2.3%. Soundness: equity 51.9% of assets, return on equity -5.3%, the dividend per share fell in the latest year on record. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $868.2M and $1.1B next year (method v4.1: its own 5-year record of growth weighed at 57% 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 $807.7M to $1.1B. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (87 filers, $50M+ revenue, its industry group): operating margin 0.9% against a 4.4% median; growth -2.8% against 11.4%.
