## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $1.1B (FY2025), total debt $1.7B. Experience: revenue up 1.0% on the year, down 6.6% a year over 5 years; operating margin 1.0%, up from -9.6%. Soundness: equity 41.6% of assets, return on equity -6.2%. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $994.7M and $1.2B next year (method v4.1: its own 3-year record of growth weighed at 40% 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 $930.6M to $1.3B. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (14 filers, $50M+ revenue, telephone communications (no radiotelephone)): operating margin 1.0% against a 2.5% median; growth 1.0% against 2.3%.
