BATM boosts profits as it accelerates pivot to networking and cybersecurity

BATM Advanced Communications ( (GB:BVC) ) has shared an announcement.

BATM Advanced Communications reported 2025 revenue of $123.2m from continuing operations, up from $117.3m a year earlier on a comparable basis, with gross profit rising to $40.1m and adjusted operating profit jumping to $14.7m from $3.8m. Despite a decline in cash and short-term investments to $23.4m, gross margin improved to 32.5% and adjusted EBITDA more than doubled, reflecting stronger profitability and capital gains from disposals.

The Group executed a major strategic pivot by selling four non-core businesses during 2025 and a fifth after year-end for $24.4m, sharply reducing complexity and freeing resources for networking and cybersecurity. BATM Networks returned to growth with a 36% revenue increase and a strong 2026 pipeline, while BATM Cyber saw expected lower sales following exceptional 2024 orders but secured new cyber development projects, as the board reclassifies diagnostics as non-core and accelerates its transformation into a streamlined secure networking and cyber player.

The proprietary diagnostics business swung from a $1.8m adjusted operating loss in 2024 to a small profit after a strategy shift towards reagent sales and the sale of the diagnostic distribution arm, which generated a $14.1m capital gain. Management highlighted growing collaboration between BATM Networks and BATM Cyber, including joint sales and platform integration for a unified secure connectivity offering, positioning the company for potentially larger orders and stronger performance in 2026.

The most recent analyst rating on (GB:BVC) stock is a Hold with a £16.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on BATM Advanced Communications stock, see the GB:BVC Stock Forecast page.
