## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $1.1B (FY2025), total debt $186.0M. Experience: revenue up 19.2% on the year, up 11.2% a year over 4 years; operating margin 15.6%, down from 15.9%. Soundness: equity 63.9% of assets, return on equity 19.4%, payout 2.8% of profit. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $1.1B and $1.4B 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 $979.3M to $1.5B. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (23 filers, $50M+ revenue, its industry group): operating margin 15.6% against a 2.6% median; growth 19.2% against 10.8%.
