Summary

The annual accounts of Aphea.Bio for fiscal year 2025 show a net loss of 87% of total assets and of 55% of the equity at the start of that year. The 2025 annual accounts show equity of €11.4m and a net result of -€14.1m. The figures fluctuate too strongly year-on-year for a reliable trend projection. Its solvency ranks better than 65% of 226 sector peers (fiscal year 2025). The company has been active since 2016 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability is 0.6% (low).

Net loss of at least half of total assets or of the equity at the start of the financial year.
Liquidity ample (current ratio 5.68 against 10.45 in 2024; short-term debt: 14.9% and cash: 3.6% of total assets), and 29.5% of the assets are financed with debt.
How it is calculated

The band comes from the bankruptcy probability on a scale of 0 to 100: every 10 points more double the odds of getting through the year without bankruptcy.

75-100 Excellent under 0.55%
60-74 Healthy 0.55% to 1.5%
45-59 Fair 1.5% to 4.2%
25-44 Weak 4.2% to 15.0%
0-24 Critical over 15.0%

Place inside the band: half the bankruptcy probability, half how the company does against its sector peers (NACE 72, medium-sized). Better than this share of them on solvency 77%, liquidity 62%, profitability 11%, growth against the median 15%. That is performance, not lower risk; the band itself always comes from the probability.

Bankruptcy probability: model pd-v3.202610021621, computed on 03-10-2026. The model learns from Belgian bankruptcies and reads the registers, the annual accounts and the gazette.

Ceilings: negative or zero equity, a heavy loss, a special KBO legal situation and a missing filing 59 (two missing 44), an ongoing judicial reorganisation or an ending 24. Financial strength does not count in the score.

This company filed 8 consecutive financial years on time. The year that closed on 31-12-2025 was due by 31-07-2026 and was filed on 21-08-2026, 21 days late. Weigh it accordingly: a break into the 1-to-90-day band measures 1.41% abnormal legal state, below the 1.66% market average. It is a change in behaviour, not evidence of elevated risk.
