Summary

ETHIMA has been active since 2008 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. The 2024 annual accounts show equity of €49,851 and a net result of €55,985. Equity is shrinking by ~31% per year and would, assuming unchanged policy, indicatively turn negative around fiscal year 2025. Its solvency ranks better than 19% of 20783 sector peers (fiscal year 2024). The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability is 0.2% (very low).
