Liquidity is ample, with a current ratio of 2.94 (2.11 in 2024), above the usual 1.5. Short-term debt is 32.2% of total assets. 47.1% of the assets are financed with debt and provisions.
Calculation

The band follows from the bankruptcy probability. 10 more points roughly halve it.

75-100 Excellent under 0.55%
60-74 Healthy 0.55% to 1.5%
45-59 Fair 1.5% to 4.2%
25-44 Weak 4.2% to 15.0%
0-24 Critical over 15.0%

Where the company stands within its band depends half on the bankruptcy probability and half on how it does against its sector peers (NACE 25, medium-sized). It does better than 70% of them on solvency, 93% on liquidity, 29% on profitability and 43% on growth.

The bankruptcy probability was computed on 02-11-2026 by the bankruptcy model of 2 October 2026, which learns from Belgian bankruptcies and reads the registers, the annual accounts and the Belgian Official Gazette.

Some facts cap the score, however low the probability. With negative or zero equity, a heavy loss, a special status in the KBO, one missing filing or accounts filed more than 90 days late, the score is Fair at most (59). With two missing filings, it is Weak at most (44). During a judicial reorganisation or at the company's end (bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation), it is Critical at most (24).

While the plan runs, the probability is at least 10.0%. That is the share of companies with a plan of that age that went bankrupt.

Companies that have existed this long fail less often. How much that weighs depends on the rest of the company's profile.

This company filed 9 consecutive financial years on time. The year that closed on 31-12-2025 was due by 31-07-2026 and was filed on 28-09-2026, 59 days late. Weigh it accordingly: of the companies that move to filing 1 to 90 days late, 1.41% are now bankrupt, dissolved or in another special legal status, below the 1.66% of all filers. It is a change in behaviour, not evidence of elevated risk.
