We're excited to announce several significant updates to the openthebox platform that will enhance your user experience and streamline your research workflow. From a refreshed navigation interface to improved data visualization and export capabilities, these new features have been carefully designed to make your work more efficient and insightful.
1. New Navigation
After having already split our web application from our marketing website, it made sense to update the in-app navigation to something that better fits your logged-in experience.
So we went from this:

To this:

We've implemented this change to better highlight features such as Advanced Search, Lists, and Searches, and avoid distracting you from your research in openthebox with links to pricing, resources, and about pages.

2. Optional Styled Exports

Alongside our trusted export format, we've added a new optional format with enhanced layout for quick information retrieval. We've maintained the original "raw" file format to ensure compatibility with your Excel models, including LBOs. You can access this legacy version by toggling "Legacy" when exporting data from openthebox.
This new, updated file format is available for exports of Annual Accounts and Financial Ratios. Social Balance and Advanced Search exports remain unchanged.
Available to: Premium users
3. EBITDA as a highlighted metric on profiles
We've given one of the most important financial parameters the highlighting it deserves by placing EBITDA at the top of each company profile and in the evolution/trends charts on both the profile page and financials tab. This change helps financial services professionals quickly access this crucial metric when researching or assessing companies.

4. NACE 2025

While the KBO / Banque Carrefour des Entreprises continues to add new NACE codes, we've already incorporated the available ones into our database and web app. The latest NACE codes are now visible on every profile. In Advanced Search, we've simplified the experience—instead of two separate fields, you can now toggle between NACE code versions and select your desired codes from a single interface.

Conclusion
These updates enhance the platform with a streamlined navigation, improved export options for premium users, prominent EBITDA metrics, and updated NACE 2025 codes. We remain committed to evolving our platform to serve your research needs.
