## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $2.5B (FY2026), total debt $1.8B. Experience: revenue down 24.0% on the year, down 4.7% a year over 4 years; operating margin 5.8%, down from 11.1%. Soundness: equity 35.5% of assets, return on equity 5.2%, payout 52.2% of profit, dividend per share up 5 years running. Credibility: four or more audited years, reasonable weight. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $1.3B and $2.9B 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 $992.6M to $3.8B. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (75 filers, $50M+ revenue, its industry group): operating margin 5.8% against a 4.8% median; growth -24.0% against 4.9%.
