## Edgarette's reading

Exposure: revenue $2.5B (FY2025), total debt $548.3M. Experience: revenue up 13.9% on the year, up 3.4% a year over 4 years; operating margin 6.3%, up from 4.9%. Soundness: equity 35.5% of assets, return on equity 5.2%. Credibility: four or more audited years, moderate weight, marked down from reasonable: on 2026-03-03 the company said earlier statements should no longer be relied on (8-K Item 4.02), and no 10-K has been filed since. Range: 80% of past cases like this landed between $2.1B and $3.3B 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 $1.7B to $3.9B. A statistical range, not company guidance. Against peers (17 filers, $50M+ revenue, its industry group): operating margin 6.3% against a 8.1% median; growth 13.9% against 10.6%.

Range logged 2026-11-01, receipt 5a51fcd66a06b4e1, status open. A statistical range, not company guidance.
