Summary

Conclusion

the dossier summarised in one paragraph

The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability of DS Smith Packaging Belgium is 0.7% (low). The company has been active since 1988 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. No processed annual-account figures are available; this conclusion rests on registry and State Gazette data only.

Based on State Gazette and CBE data.

Filing behaviour

From the deposit records, complete market-wide
A punctual record breaks
This company filed 9 consecutive financial years on time. The year that closed on 30-04-2025 was due by 30-11-2025 and was filed on 19-12-2025, 19 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.
The next deadline is still running
The next financial year closes on 30-04-2026 and is due by 30-11-2026. Nothing is late today.
How we compute the deadline
The year end is derived from 10 filed financial years, each closing on 30-04. The statutory deadline is seven months after the close of the financial year (art. 3:10 par. 1 CAC, art. 3:47 par. 7 for ASBL and foundations). Applied to the financial year that closed on 30-04-2025, that is 30-11-2025.
