## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $669.3M (FY2025), total debt $38.3M. Experience: revenue up 12.7% on the year, up 6.6% a year over 4 years; operating margin 8.2%, down from 8.5%. Soundness: equity 72.8% of assets, return on equity 7.4%, payout 11.7% of profit, dividend per share up 1 year running. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $576.4M and $859.9M next year (method v4.1: its own 4-year record of growth weighed at 50% 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 $520.9M to $955.3M. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (12 filers, $50M+ revenue, its industry group): operating margin 8.2% against a 5.0% median; growth 12.7% against 11.6%.
