ECHOBEL

Bronweg 57 ·3530 Houthalen-Helchteren, Belgium· 64 yrs active

Sector: Activiteiten van holdings (64210)

Conclusion Checked

ECHOBEL is a financial institution; the bankruptcy model is trained on trading and manufacturing companies and does not apply here. The 2024 annual accounts show negative equity (€-12.34M) and a net result of €29k. Equity remains stable across the filed fiscal years (±0.9% per year). Its solvency ranks better than 5% of 1415 sector peers (fiscal year 2024). The company has been active since 1962 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals.

Based on the State Gazette, CBE and 7 annual accounts.

Bankruptcy probability (12 mo) Checked model v1 · free

This is a financial institution (bank, insurer or financial holding). Our bankruptcy model is trained on ordinary trading and manufacturing companies; a bank balance sheet falls outside that scope. We therefore show no bankruptcy probability rather than a misleading figure.

Risk Assessment rule-based

0 / 100

Low risk

Trust signals 2 signals

Long-established

Founded in 1962, 64 years in business.

No legal incidents

No bankruptcy, reorganisation or interim measure in the Belgisch Staatsblad, and the KBO register records a normal legal situation.

Administrative Flags0 events

No strikeouts found in the KBO publications we processed. That series starts in 2021 and has gaps, so this is not a confirmation that there is nothing.

Health barometer

Model not applicable to financial institutions

The health score weighs liquidity, leverage and margins against norms for trading and manufacturing companies. A bank, insurer or financial holding has a fundamentally different balance-sheet structure, so those ratios, and hence the score, carry no meaning here.

Trajectory (indicative)

Projection over 3 fiscal years from the filed annual accounts, not a forecast, the extended trend.

stable Equity: stable across 7 fiscal years (±0.9%/year).

Solid line = filed figures · dashed = extended trend · area = indicative range.

How do we compute this?

The trend is a robust median of all pairwise slopes between fiscal years (Theil-Sen), so a single odd year cannot hijack the line. For strictly positive series we also fit a log variant (compound annual growth) and keep whichever describes the figures best.

The area around the projection is 1.8 × the median absolute deviation from the trend, widening each year ahead (×1 / ×1.6 / ×2.2), with a minimum of 8% of the last value. It is an indicative range, not a statistical confidence interval.

A series whose deviations exceed 35% of its level is too volatile: we then deliberately show no projection. Every projection assumes unchanged policy and is blind to non-public information (order book, contracts, funding rounds).
