The sector band is the middle half of the companies in Retail trade (NACE 47). A quarter of them sit below it, a quarter above. Each year counts only accounts in the same format, and only where there are at least 30.
The operating result for 2024 is a loss of €13,798, smaller than the loss of €65,325 in 2023.
Turnover and EBIT margin are not published. The micro format does not require them. The turnover shown is an estimate from the gross margin.

Green means a favourable move, even when the figure itself falls, as with debt or debt to equity.

Historical observation
In July 2024, 2,796 companies had the same profile as BBGA has now. Two years later, 90.4% were still going and 2.1% had gone bankrupt.
- Micro
- 20 years or older
- negative equity
- a small loss
90.4%
was still going
6.0%
stopped otherwise
2.1%
went bankrupt
Another 1.5% stopped without a precise date, possibly only after those two years.
That fits the bankruptcy probability of BBGA itself: 2.6% within 12 months.
Test of the method
The method was tested on the 497,446 companies of July 2024. Each company was given the bankruptcy share of the same profile a year earlier, in July 2023. The expectation was that 1.6% would go bankrupt within 24 months. In fact 1.7% went bankrupt.
| Group | Expected | Actual |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0.2% | 0.2% |
| 2 | 0.3% | 0.5% |
| 3 | 0.5% | 0.6% |
| 4 | 0.7% | 0.8% |
| 5 | 0.9% | 0.9% |
| 6 | 1.3% | 1.5% |
| 7 | 1.6% | 1.8% |
| 8 | 1.8% | 1.8% |
| 9 | 3.0% | 3.1% |
| 10 | 5.6% | 6.2% |
A company that went bankrupt had a higher expected share than one that kept going in 74.5% of comparisons. The level depends on the economy. In a year with more bankruptcies than the year before, the actual share is higher than the expected one.
This is an observation about 2,796 companies, not a prediction for BBGA. The sector does not count, because the KBO no longer lists a sector for a company that has stopped. By sector, mostly the survivors would count, which would paint too rosy a picture.
