## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $162.1M (FY2026), total debt $48.1M. Experience: revenue up 9.4% on the year, up 9.0% a year over 4 years; operating margin 18.6%, down from 24.6%. Soundness: equity -26.5% of assets (liabilities exceed assets), dividend per share up 1 year running. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $139.0M and $213.9M next year (method v4.1: its own 5-year record of growth weighed at 57% against $100M–1B 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 $124.6M to $239.6M. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (31 filers, $50M+ revenue, retail-eating  places): operating margin 18.6% against a 4.3% median; growth 9.4% against 4.7%.
