Summary

Conclusion

the dossier summarised in one paragraph

The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability of Helical is 1.0% (low). The 2025 annual accounts show equity of €3k and a net result of €-45k. Equity is shrinking by ~44.1% per year and would, assuming unchanged policy, indicatively turn negative around fiscal year 2026. Its solvency ranks better than 18% of 510 sector peers (fiscal year 2024). The company has been active since 2023 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals.

Based on the State Gazette, CBE and 3 annual accounts.

Filing behaviour

From the deposit records, complete market-wide
Filed after the deadline
The financial year that closed on 31-12-2025 was due by 31-07-2026 and was filed on 20-08-2026, 20 days later. For context: 47% of the Belgian market files late and the whole 1-to-90-day band measures 2.0% abnormal legal state against a 1.66% average. We show this as a fact and do not score it.
The next deadline is still running
The next financial year closes on 31-12-2026 and is due by 31-07-2027. Nothing is late today.
How we compute the deadline
The year end is derived from 3 filed financial years, each closing on 31-12. 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 31-12-2025, that is 31-07-2026.

Source: the National Bank's deposit records, as we have ingested them. NOTE: our copy has a gap across June to August 2026, missing roughly 220,000 deposits; for July we hold 15,605 of about 137,000 expected. A year whose deadline falls in that window shows as not confirmed, not as not filed. Filing late covers nearly half the market and is therefore not scored; only not filing, being more than 90 days late and breaking a punctual record carry weight.

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).
