A punctual record breaks

This company filed 9 consecutive financial years on time. The year that closed on 31-12-2025 was due by 31-07-2026 and was filed on 31-08-2026, 31 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.

Peer companies

Historical observation

Of the 496 companies that looked in July 2024 the way this one looks now, 1.2% went bankrupt within 24 months and 95% are still going.

Small
20 years or older
solvency under 10%
a profit of 5% of the balance sheet or more

1.2% went bankrupt

3.2% stopped otherwise

95% still going

A further 0.2% stopped, but we cannot tell whether within those 24 months.

For this company itself Checked computes a bankruptcy probability of 0.6% over twelve months; the group does not contradict it.

How reliable is this rule?

Tested on the year before, without using that year itself: the groups of July 2023 gave each of the 497,338 companies of July 2024 its group's bankruptcy share. Expected: 1.6%; actually bankrupt within 24 months: 1.7%.

The companies in ten equal groups, from lowest to highest expected share.
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%	1.0%
6	1.3%	1.5%
7	1.6%	1.8%
8	1.8%	1.9%
9	3.0%	3.1%
10	5.6%	6.2%

The rule ranks well: a company that went bankrupt got a higher share than one that kept going in 74% of comparisons. The level follows the economy: in a year with more bankruptcies, the actual share is higher than the year before.

An observation about 496 comparable companies, not a prediction for this company. The sector does not count: the register keeps no sector for companies that stopped, so it would make the outcome look better than it was.
