## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $3.8B (FY2025), total debt $630.1M. Experience: revenue up 4.7% on the year, up 6.4% a year over 4 years; operating margin 5.0%, up from 5.0%. Soundness: equity 13.4% of assets, return on equity 34.0%, payout 35.2% of profit. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $3.5B and $4.2B 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 $3.3B to $4.5B. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (31 filers, $50M+ revenue, retail-eating  places): operating margin 5.0% against a 4.3% median; growth 4.7% against 4.7%.
