The operating result for 2025 is 7% higher than in 2024 and the highest since 2021. It is the second rise in a row, after the fall in 2023.
Turnover is what the company sold, the result is what was left of it. A loss stands below the zero line.
Assets, equity and debt per financial year.
Above zero, the company can pay its short-term debts with what it holds in the short term.
The EBIT margin is the share of each euro of turnover left from operations. The return on assets is what the assets earn.
The higher the solvency, the better the company absorbs a setback.
A ratio above 1 means the short-term assets cover the short-term debts.
Average staff per financial year, in full-time equivalents (FTE).
Use the arrow keys on the chart for the figures per year.
The sector band is the middle half of the companies in Specialised construction activities (NACE 43). 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 dashed line is the median. There is a sector band for net result, equity, total assets, working capital, solvency, current ratio, return on assets (ROA) and staff (FTE).

Companies with the same profile, two years later
Historical observationIn July 2024, 4,107 companies had the same profile as EMSD has now. Two years later, 1.0% had gone bankrupt and 98.0% were still going.
- Small
- 10 to 20 years old
- solvency 10 to 30%
- a profit under 5% of the balance sheet
Another 0.2% stopped without a precise date, possibly only after those two years.
That fits the bankruptcy probability of EMSD itself: 0.7% within 12 months.
Test of the method
The method was tested on the 497,445 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.
| 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 4,107 companies, not a prediction for EMSD. 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.
