  • Size: total assets €2.5m lowers the probability for this profile
  • Sector Manufacture of fabricated metal products, except machinery and equipment (NACE 25) raises the probability
  • Figures for FY 2025 (filed 30-01-2026) lowers the probability
  • Founded in 1968 lowers the probability for this profile

Liquidity ample (current ratio 14.7 against 7.22 in 2024; short-term debt: 5.7% and cash: 9.9% of total assets), but 61.4% of the assets are financed with debt.
How it is calculated

The band comes from the bankruptcy probability on a scale of 0 to 100: every 10 points more double the odds of getting through the year without bankruptcy.

75-100 Excellent under 0.55%
60-74 Healthy 0.55% to 1.5%
45-59 Fair 1.5% to 4.2%
25-44 Weak 4.2% to 15.0%
0-24 Critical over 15.0%

Place inside the band: half the bankruptcy probability, half how the company does against its sector peers (NACE 25, small). Better than this share of them on solvency 44%, liquidity 77%, profitability 18%, growth against the median 69%. That is performance, not lower risk; the band itself always comes from the probability.

Bankruptcy probability: model pd-v3.202610021621, computed on 05-10-2026. The model learns from Belgian bankruptcies and reads the registers, the annual accounts and the gazette.

Ceilings: negative or zero equity, a heavy loss, a special KBO legal situation and a missing filing 59 (two missing 44), an ongoing judicial reorganisation or an ending 24. Financial strength does not count in the score.
