  • Loss of €8.1m, the second in a row (FY 2025) raises the probability
  • Liquidity: current ratio 1.35, cash €1,750 raises the probability
  • Sector Warehousing and support activities for transportation (NACE 52) raises the probability
  • Size: turnover €163.1m, 247.4 FTE, total assets €61.6m lowers the probability for this profile

Liquidity tight (current ratio 1.35 against 1.59 in 2024; short-term debt: 58.8% and cash: 0% of total assets), and 60.5% 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 52, medium-sized). Better than this share of them on solvency 60%, liquidity 23%, profitability 6%, growth against the median 39%. 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.
