OUTCOM
ActiveFrom the official registers: KBO 21 annual accounts at the National Bank publications in the Belgian Official Gazette
Summary
OUTCOM has been active since 2004 and the Belgian Official Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. The 2025 annual accounts show equity of €922,788 and a net result of -€32,856. Equity has been growing by about 14% per year since 2018. Its solvency ranks better than 62% of 2,077 sector peers (NACE 73, financial year 2025). The computed 12-month bankruptcy probability is 0.1% (very low).

2021 to 2025, 5 financial years 2018 to 2025, 8 financial years
The operating result for 2025 is a loss of €31,323, larger than the loss of €30,074 in 2024. It is the lowest result since 2021.
Turnover is what the company sold, the result is what was left of it. A loss stands below the zero line.
Assets, equity and debt per financial year.
Above zero, the company can pay its short-term debts with what it holds in the short term.
The EBIT margin is the share of each euro of turnover left from operations. The return on assets is what the assets earn.
The higher the solvency, the better the company absorbs a setback.
A ratio above 1 means the short-term assets cover the short-term debts.
Average staff per financial year, in full-time equivalents (FTE).
Use the arrow keys on the chart for the figures per year.
The sector band is the middle half of the companies in Advertising, market research and public relations activities (NACE 73). 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 dashed line is the median. There is a sector band for net result, equity, total assets, working capital, solvency, current ratio, return on assets (ROA) and staff (FTE).
Companies with the same profile, two years later
Historical observationIn July 2024, 8,617 companies had the same profile as OUTCOM has now. Two years later, 0.4% had gone bankrupt and 94.2% were still going.
- Small
- 20 years or older
- solvency 30% or more
- a small loss
Another 0.2% stopped without a precise date, possibly only after those two years.
That fits the bankruptcy probability of OUTCOM itself: 0.1% within 12 months.
Test of the method
The method was tested on the 497,445 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 8,617 companies, not a prediction for OUTCOM. 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.
