The sector band is the middle half of the companies in Manufacture of machinery and equipment not elsewhere classified (NACE 28). 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 a loss of €253,753, after a profit of €874,010 in 2024. It is the lowest result since 2018.
Large changes and their cause
- 2025 Net result -59% on 2024. The accounts now follow the full format, last year the abbreviated format.

A Belgian filing has no cash-flow statement. These rows are therefore an approximation, derived from the income statement and the balance-sheet moves.
Historical observation
In July 2024, 20,136 companies had the same profile as PENTAPACK has now. Two years later, 95.0% were still going and 0.2% had gone bankrupt.
- Small
- 20 years or older
- solvency 30% or more
- a profit of 5% of the balance sheet or more
95.0%
was still going
4.7%
stopped otherwise
0.2%
went bankrupt
That fits the bankruptcy probability of PENTAPACK itself: < 0.1% within 12 months.
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 20,136 companies, not a prediction for PENTAPACK. 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.
