The sector band is the middle half of the companies in Architectural and engineering activities; technical testing and analysis (NACE 71). 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 150% higher than in 2024 and the highest since 2020. It is the second rise in a row, after the fall in 2023.
Large changes and their cause
- 2024 Net result +1,248%, Staff (FTE) +51% on 2023. The accounts now follow the abbreviated format, last year the micro format.
Turnover and EBIT margin are not published. The abbreviated or micro format does not require them. The turnover shown is an estimate from the gross margin.

Historical observation
In July 2024, 6,782 companies had the same profile as PREVOM has now. Two years later, 96.7% were still going and 0.6% had gone bankrupt.
- Small
- 5 to 10 years old
- solvency 30% or more
- a profit of 5% of the balance sheet or more
96.7%
was still going
2.7%
stopped otherwise
0.6%
went bankrupt
That fits the bankruptcy probability of PREVOM 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 6,782 companies, not a prediction for PREVOM. 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.
