1 signal · with evidence

Signals are derived from the filed annual accounts and the sector comparison. No composite score: each signal is separately verifiable at the source.

Filing behaviour

From the deposit records, complete market-wide
Filing behaviour not assessed
The register records an open bankruptcy. From that point the trustee files and the ordinary seven-month rhythm no longer governs. The register carries no start date, so we cannot tell which filings fall before it: we show the facts and do not assess the behaviour.
Filed after the deadline
The financial year that closed on 31-12-2023 was due by 31-07-2024 and was filed on 30-08-2024, 30 days later. For context: 47% of the Belgian market files late and the whole 1-to-90-day band measures 2.0% abnormal legal state against a 1.66% average. We show this as a fact and do not score it.
How we compute the deadline
The year end is derived from 3 filed financial years, each closing on 31-12. 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 31-12-2023, that is 31-07-2024.

Source: the National Bank's deposit records. Those records are complete, including for years whose figures we have not read yet. Filing late covers nearly half the market and is therefore not scored; only not filing, being more than 90 days late and breaking a punctual record carry weight.
