Holding: outside the score modelBankruptcy probability: sector outside the modelStandalone figures, without subsidiaries

Checked score

Outside the general model
Holding: general score not applicable
The company has a registered holding activity. Financial fixed assets make up more than half of its assets. The general model for operating companies does not fit such a balance sheet, so there is no score and no financial strength.

Bankruptcy probability within 12 months

The company is a financial institution: a bank, insurer or financial holding. Its balance sheet works differently from that of a trading or manufacturing company. A bankruptcy probability from the general model would mislead here.
