## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $1.6B (FY2026), total debt $80.5M. Experience: revenue down 2.7% on the year, down 0.9% a year over 4 years; operating margin 1.0%, down from 1.0%. Soundness: equity 43.4% of assets, return on equity 7.6%, payout 35.3% of profit. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $1.3B and $1.8B 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 $1.2B to $2.0B. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (10 filers, $50M+ revenue, its industry group): operating margin 1.0% against a 10.5% median; growth -2.7% against 0.3%.
