## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $838.7M (FY2026), total debt $10.8M. Experience: revenue up 10.9% on the year, up 8.2% a year over 4 years; operating margin 7.3%, up from 4.4%. Soundness: equity 54.2% of assets, return on equity 15.1%, the dividend per share fell in the latest year on record. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $729.7M and $1.1B next year (method v4.1: its own 5-year record of growth weighed at 57% against $100M–1B 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 $662.9M to $1.2B. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (18 filers, $50M+ revenue, its industry group): operating margin 7.3% against a 6.5% median; growth 10.9% against -0.3%.
