Echos communication
ActiveSummary
Echos communication has been active since 1990 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. The 2024 annual accounts show negative equity (-€72,136) and a net result of -€2,593. Equity is shrinking by ~37.6% per year across the filed fiscal years. Its solvency ranks better than 5% of 615 sector peers (fiscal year 2024). The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability is < 0.1% (very low).

Historical observationOf the 2,798 companies that looked in July 2024 the way this one looks now, 1.9% went bankrupt within 24 months and 90% are still going.
- Micro
- 20 years or older
- negative equity
- a small loss
A further 2.1% stopped, but we cannot tell whether within those 24 months.
For this company itself Checked computes a lower bankruptcy probability: < 0.1% over twelve months. The score reads more about this company than the group's four characteristics; both figures are right about what they measure.
How reliable is this rule?
Tested on the year before, without using that year itself: the groups of July 2023 gave each of the 497,058 companies of July 2024 its group's bankruptcy share. Expected: 1.5%; actually bankrupt within 24 months: 1.6%.
| Group | Expected | Actual |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0.2% | 0.2% |
| 2 | 0.3% | 0.4% |
| 3 | 0.5% | 0.5% |
| 4 | 0.6% | 0.7% |
| 5 | 0.8% | 0.9% |
| 6 | 1.2% | 1.3% |
| 7 | 1.5% | 1.6% |
| 8 | 1.7% | 1.7% |
| 9 | 2.7% | 2.8% |
| 10 | 5.3% | 5.7% |
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 2,798 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.
