Summary

Conclusion

the dossier summarised in one paragraph

The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability of HERMAX is 5.3% (elevated). The 2024 annual accounts show equity of €60k and a net result of €-66k. Equity is shrinking by ~41.7% per year and would, assuming unchanged policy, indicatively turn negative around fiscal year 2026. Its solvency ranks better than 43% of 331 sector peers (fiscal year 2024). The company has been active since 2021 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals.

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

Persistent losses
Two consecutive loss-making years (2023 and 2024); equity fell accordingly. May indicate structural pressure on profitability.

Filing behaviour

From the deposit records, complete market-wide
Deadline passed, not yet counted as missing
The deadline for the year that closed on 31-12-2025 passed on 31-07-2026, 12 days ago. Our copy of the deposit register trails the National Bank (measured: median 14 days, p99 45 days), so we only call this filing missing from 45 days past the deadline.
Filed after the deadline
The financial year that closed on 31-12-2024 was due by 31-07-2025 and was filed on 29-08-2025, 29 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.
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 31-12-2024, that is 31-07-2025.

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

Administrative Flags

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.

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).
