What an EBRS score means

The EBRS score is a number from 0 to 10 that summarises how a Lithuanian company appears in the state registers: how long and how steadily it has operated, how disciplined its finances and taxes are, how well it has withstood difficult years and how transparent it is. A higher score means broader and more favourable evidence.

The number

How to read the score

  • 8.0 and above: Very reliable

    Broad, consistent evidence of a stable, disciplined and transparent company.

  • 6.0 to below 8.0: Reliable

    The registers show a sound company; individual signals may still be weaker.

  • 4.0 to below 6.0: Caution

    Some indicators are weak or adverse. Read the individual signals before relying on the company.

  • 0.0 to below 4.0: High risk

    Serious adverse signals, such as insolvency, persistent losses, arrears or reporting failures.

The confidence percentage shown next to the score says how much evidence stands behind it. A score with low confidence may change as more data arrives.

Composition

What the score is made of

13 signals, each scored 0-10 from register data, are combined on four axes with published weights:

  • Continuity (18.60%): has the company operated for long, steadily and on a sound legal footing?
  • Financial discipline (27.91%): do the financial indicators and tax behaviour point to a healthy business?
  • Resilience (16.28%): can the company withstand a downturn and keep its workforce?
  • Transparency (37.21%): how transparent is the company as seen through the state registers?

The profile also shows the score of each axis and each signal, so a reader can see which part of the record is strong and which is weak.

Limits

What the score does not say

  • It is not a credit rating and not investment advice. It describes the public record; it does not forecast.
  • It is not an opinion of customers or the press. Reviews and media mentions do not change it.
  • It is not for sale. No payment, package or TOP listing changes it.
  • It reflects the registers as of the date shown. Annual financial statements are, by their nature, up to a year old.
  • Scores from different algorithm versions are not directly comparable.

Special cases

When the score is capped or withheld

Insufficient data

When fewer than 5 of the 13 signals can be calculated, no number is shown at all; the profile reads “Insufficient data” (“Nepakanka duomenų”). This is not a negative finding: it means the registers hold too little data on the company to support a verdict.

A company in bankruptcy or liquidation, or one that has been deregistered, cannot score above 2.9, and one in restructuring cannot score above 4.9, however strong its earlier record. A company with few computable signals is pulled towards the neutral midpoint of 5.0, so a high score always rests on broad evidence.
