Summary
Conclusion
the dossier summarised in one paragraphFor the legal form of CIENA LTD, Checked does not compute a bankruptcy probability. The company has been active since 2001 and the Belgian State Gazette contains no insolvency or warning signals. No processed annual-account figures are available; this conclusion rests on registry and State Gazette data only.
Based on State Gazette and CBE data.
Filing behaviour
From the deposit records, complete market-wideAnnual accounts not filed
The financial year that closed on 31-10-2025 was due at the National Bank by 31-05-2026. Nothing is on record today, 75 days later. Measured on financial year 2023: 41.75% of the companies that did not file are in an abnormal legal state today, against 1.66% of those that did.
Filed more than 90 days late
The financial year that closed on 31-10-2024 was due by 31-05-2025 and was filed on 11-12-2025, 194 days past the deadline. Measured on financial year 2023: companies more than 90 days late are in an abnormal legal state today in 5.61% of cases, against 1.66% across all filers.
How we compute the deadline
The year end is derived from 4 filed financial years, each closing on 31-10. The statutory deadline is seven months after the close of the financial year (art. 3:10 par. 1 CAC, art. 3:47 par. 7 for ASBL and foundations). Applied to the financial year that closed on 31-10-2024, that is 31-05-2025.

Trust signals
2 signalsLong-established
Founded in 2001, 24 years in business.
No legal incidents
No bankruptcy, reorganisation or interim measure in the Belgisch Staatsblad, and the KBO register records a normal legal situation.
Administrative Flags
No strikeouts found in the KBO publications we processed. That series starts in 2021 and has gaps, so this is not a confirmation that there is nothing.
Bankruptcy probability (12 mo)
Checked model v1 · free for everyoneFor this legal form (e.g. co-owners' association, public body or foreign branch) we don't show a bankruptcy probability: some of these forms legally cannot go bankrupt and no reliable figure is possible here.
