The sector band is the middle half of the companies in Retail trade (NACE 47). A quarter of them sit below it, a quarter above. Each year counts only accounts in the same format, and only where there are at least 30.
The operating result for 2025 is 69% lower than in 2024.
Turnover and EBIT margin are not published. The abbreviated format does not require them. The turnover shown is an estimate from the gross margin.

Historical observation
In July 2024, 896 companies had the same profile as LEDLINES has now. Two years later, 98.1% were still going and 1.1% had gone bankrupt.
- Small
- 2 to 5 years old
- solvency 10 to 30%
- a profit under 5% of the balance sheet
98.1%
was still going
0.7%
stopped otherwise
1.1%
went bankrupt
Another 0.1% stopped without a precise date, possibly only after those two years.
The bankruptcy probability of LEDLINES itself is higher: 1.9% within 12 months. It rests on far more data about LEDLINES than the profile alone.
Test of the method
The method was tested on the 497,446 companies of July 2024. Each company was given the bankruptcy share of the same profile a year earlier, in July 2023. The expectation was that 1.6% would go bankrupt within 24 months. In fact 1.7% went bankrupt.
| Group | Expected | Actual |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0.2% | 0.2% |
| 2 | 0.3% | 0.5% |
| 3 | 0.5% | 0.6% |
| 4 | 0.7% | 0.8% |
| 5 | 0.9% | 0.9% |
| 6 | 1.3% | 1.5% |
| 7 | 1.6% | 1.8% |
| 8 | 1.8% | 1.8% |
| 9 | 3.0% | 3.1% |
| 10 | 5.6% | 6.2% |
A company that went bankrupt had a higher expected share than one that kept going in 74.5% of comparisons. The level depends on the economy. In a year with more bankruptcies than the year before, the actual share is higher than the expected one.
This is an observation about 896 companies, not a prediction for LEDLINES. The sector does not count, because the KBO no longer lists a sector for a company that has stopped. By sector, mostly the survivors would count, which would paint too rosy a picture.
