## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $4.0B (FY2025), total debt $223.9M. Experience: revenue down 4.0% on the year, up 1.6% a year over 4 years; operating margin 2.3%, down from 5.8%. Soundness: equity 52.8% of assets, return on equity 4.6%, payout 18.3% of profit. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $3.0B and $4.6B 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 $2.5B to $5.4B. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (8 filers, $50M+ revenue, trucking (no local)): operating margin 2.3% against a 2.6% median; growth -4.0% against -1.7%.
