Filing behaviour

From the deposit records, complete market-wide
Deadline passed, not yet counted as missing
The deadline for the year that closed on 31-12-2025 passed on 31-07-2026, 12 days ago. Our copy of the deposit register trails the National Bank (measured: median 14 days, p99 45 days), so we only call this filing missing from 45 days past the deadline.
Filed after the deadline
The financial year that closed on 31-12-2024 was due by 31-07-2025 and was filed on 12-08-2025, 12 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 10 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 31-12-2024, that is 31-07-2025.

Solid line = filed figures · dashed = extended trend · area = indicative range.
How do we compute this?

The trend is a robust median of all pairwise slopes between fiscal years (Theil-Sen), so a single odd year cannot hijack the line. For strictly positive series we also fit a log variant (compound annual growth) and keep whichever describes the figures best.

The area around the projection is 1.8 × the median absolute deviation from the trend, widening each year ahead (×1 / ×1.6 / ×2.2), with a minimum of 8% of the last value. It is an indicative range, not a statistical confidence interval.

A series whose deviations exceed 35% of its level is too volatile: we then deliberately show no projection. Every projection assumes unchanged policy and is blind to non-public information (order book, contracts, funding rounds).
