above within below The sector band is the middle half of the companies in Manufacture of textiles (NACE 13). 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 2025 is 40% lower than in 2024 and the lowest since 2022.

Turnover and EBIT margin are not published. The abbreviated format does not require them. The turnover shown is an estimate from the gross margin.

Historical observation

In July 2024, 1,579 companies had the same profile as DEWATEX has now. Two years later, 96.7% were still going and 0.1% had gone bankrupt.

  • Medium-sized
  • 20 years or older
  • solvency 30% or more
  • a profit of 5% of the balance sheet or more
96.7% was still going
3.2% stopped otherwise
0.1% went bankrupt

That fits the bankruptcy probability of DEWATEX itself: < 0.1% 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.

The companies in ten equal groups, from the lowest to the 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% 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 1,579 companies, not a prediction for DEWATEX. 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.
