## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $2.7B (FY2025), total debt $1.3B. Experience: revenue up 10.3% on the year, up 4.2% a year over 4 years; operating margin 11.6%, up from 10.8%. Soundness: equity 35.7% of assets, return on equity 18.8%, payout 3.4% of profit. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $2.5B and $3.2B 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 $2.3B to $3.5B. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (17 filers, $50M+ revenue, its industry group): operating margin 11.6% against a 8.1% median; growth 10.3% against 10.6%.
