BATM’s Adaltis to Receive Investment and Enters into Strategic Joint Venture in China

>

June 30, 2016 02:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time


HOD HASHARON, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BATM Advanced Communications Limited (LSE: BVC) (“BATM” or “the Group”), a leading provider of real-time technologies for networking solutions and medical laboratory systems, is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary Adaltis, a manufacturer of medical diagnostics equipment, has entered into an investment agreement and a strategic joint venture with its Chinese partner, Egens Biotechnology Company Ltd. (“Egens”), a leading biotechnology company combining biological material development and diagnostic reagent manufacturing.

Highlights of the transaction
• Egens will purchase RMB20m (approximately US$3m) of new shares in Adaltis, equivalent to approximately 5.5% of Adaltis’ enlarged share capital, valuing Adaltis at approximately US$58m
• Egens has been granted an option to purchase a further 10%, which will be exercisable for 90 days after the approval of either Adaltis’ 2016 or 2017 financial statements. The purchase price is expected to be based on a valuation of Adaltis at 5.5 times turnover
• Egens has deposited a non-refundable €200,000 with BATM to guarantee the execution of the deal within 90 days
• On the establishment of Adaltis Bio Med Company (“ABC”), a joint venture between Adaltis and Egens, in February 2014, Adaltis received a 40% interest in ABC with the balance of 60% interest held by Egens in consideration of its US$1m investment into ABC. As part of this transaction, Egens is to make a further investment, by way of a shareholder loan, to ABC of US$1.5m. Following this investment, Adaltis’ interest in ABC will remain at 40%

ABC was established to provide Chinese customers with a multi-item imported diagnostic reagent product service for instruments and reagents.

BATM is pleased to announce that ABC has signed its first major distribution agreement with Sino Pharm – a prominent Chinese medical and healthcare group – to distribute Adaltis HCV (Hepatitis C) nationwide. China is the world’s largest market for Hepatitis. BATM’s diagnostics business is focused on developing compact, high accuracy, cost-effective products for small- to mid-size laboratories, including advanced genomic solutions that are being introduced to the market. In particular, the Group is targeting markets where many laboratories are mid-sized and dispersed in different localities – and hence require the solutions provided by the Group’s diagnostics business.

In 2015 Adaltis was granted a licence by the China Food and Drug Administration of People’s Republic of China for the importation, marketing and sale in China of its diagnostic kit for hepatitis C. The hepatitis C disease currently has no vaccine and it is estimated to kill approximately 350,000 to 500,000 every year. China is by far the world’s largest nation affected by hepatitis C, with more than 60 million people estimated to be affected. Most of the diagnosis is undertaken by locally-developed instruments and reagents, with very few foreign companies providing solutions. As at 31 December 2015, the gross assets of Adaltis were US$12.5m.

Dr. Zvi Marom, Chief Executive Officer of BATM, said: “We are delighted to see that our efforts and focus on the Chinese market are starting to bear fruit. China is one of the world’s largest and growing markets with enormous potential for us. We are pleased that our long-term partner has chosen to deepen our relationship by investing in the joint venture and Adaltis, which we believe will facilitate us gaining more market share. This agreement with Egens as well as the agreement with Sino-Pharm are the first of several steps to be taken in our long-term plan for China, which we believe will be a major market of our Biomed solutions.

“Our Board is mindful of unlocking the true worth of the Group and this transaction, valuing Adaltis currently at $58m, demonstrates this. With other thriving businesses within the Group as well as a valuable property portfolio, the Board continues to explore ways to realise the value that exists within the Group and looks forward to updating the market in due course.”

Since the final results we've not had a trading update to gives us any sort of clue as to how the company is progressing. Although the news flow has been positive, there was no mention of figures from the Telco contract wins only from the Cyber contract. Also, FSE noted in a previous post that there has been a lack of news flow regarding the medical division....Still not long to go before the interim results are out, perhaps we'll get a clearer understanding then.....

[fse] 21/6/2016 20:11

Agree with woody on this. No rush to top up until the picture is clearer.
Backdrop looks vastly improved but as has been said far too often , this market will not buy potential and until the proof is in the bottom line they will drift.

[woody888] 21/6/2016 17:13

Very odd over the past couple of days. There has been excellent and positive news flow recently. I am interested in the cyber security division and the ATCA platform enhancement solution; huge volumes for this share today and a share price heading south, it is clearly not referendum related but must be something else, and I will hold off increasing holding/investing in this company until some clarity is established on what is driving this share price decline.
Still maintain that there is HUGE potential in this company at this moment in time.
Polemically and supporting the potential notion a takeover could be coming....

[spekky] 21/6/2016 16:52

Well there they are,is it a rollover? Doesn't look like a simple sell.

[spekky] 21/6/2016 15:38

Cybersecurity Business Report
By Steve Morgan

Today's top stories
Cybersecurity spending outlook: $1 trillion from 2017 to 2021

Cybercrime growth is making it difficult for researchers and IT analyst firms to accurately forecast cybersecurity spending.

DISCLOSURE: Steve Morgan is founder and CEO at Cybersecurity Ventures, and Editor-In-Chief of the Cybersecurity Market Report.

Worldwide spending on cybersecurity is predicted to top $1 trillion for the five-year period from 2017 to 2021, according to the Cybersecurity Market Report, published by Cybersecurity Ventures.

"IT analyst forecasts are unable to keep pace with the dramatic rise in cybercrime, the ransomware epidemic, the refocusing of malware from PCs and laptops to smartphones and mobile devices, the deployment of billions of under-protected Internet of Things (IoT) devices, the legions of hackers-for-hire, and the more sophisticated cyber-attacks launching at businesses, governments, educational institutions, and consumers globally" according to the new report.
How to respond to ransomware threats

In early 2015 Inga Beale, CEO at the British insurer Lloyd's, claimed that cybercrime was costing businesses globally up to $400 billion a year. Several months later Juniper Research released a report which said cybercrime will cost businesses over $2 trillion by 2019. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella stated $3 trillion of market value was destroyed in 2015 due to cybercrime.

Rob Owens, senior research analyst for security and infrastructure software at Pacific Crest Securities, recently told Investor’s Business Daily that he sees pent-up demand for cybersecurity spending. He says companies still aren’t spending enough on security. “I think security has been an under-spend area for decades. You’re spending about 3% of your capex (capital expenditures) that’s focused on IT on security. That’s relatively low.”

Cybersecurity Ventures confirms Owen's viewpoint, and anticipates a major uptick in cyber spending -- to the tune of 12 to 15 percent year-over-year growth through 2021, compared to the 8 to 10 percent projected over the next five years by several industry analysts. Gartner projects the overall security market will grow at a 7.8 percent CAGR (compound annual growth rate) through 2019 -- which suggests IT security spending will account for considerably less than 5% of worldwide IT spending ($2.77 trillion according to Gartner) through 2019.

Speaking at the IBM Security Summit in New York City last year, IBM's chairman, CEO and President Ginni Rometty said, “We believe that data is the phenomenon of our time. It is the world’s new natural resource. It is the new basis of competitive advantage, and it is transforming every profession and industry. If all of this is true – even inevitable – then cyber crime, by definition, is the greatest threat to every profession, every industry, every company in the world.”

It appears that cybersecurity spending is beginning to align with Rometty's remarks. IBM Security -- a $2 billion division of the tech giant - posted 18% growth in Q1 2016. Cisco, one of IBM's chief security rivals, posted an impressive 17 percent year-over-year rise in security sales.

Gartner reports the IT security outsourcing segment recorded the fastest growth in that sector. As big as that market is, it is a very difficult one to size. "Tech is a cottage industry which includes tens of thousands of VARs (value-added-resellers), IT solution providers, and SIs (systems integrators) who wrap IT security services around the IT infrastructures they implement and support — but (most of) these firms don’t break out and report cybersecurity revenues as a separate bucket," states the Cybersecurity Market Report.

"Big branded tech companies with sizable professional services organizations providing cybersecurity services have yet to set up specific divisions or revenue reporting which analysts need in order to capture accurate market figures. There’s also many new players getting into cybersecurity. CPAs and attorneys who used to answer their clients’ what-if and what-now questions around data breaches — are now starting up lucrative cyber consulting divisions."

The IT Security Spending Survey — published by SANS Institute in February 2016 — states “Tracking security-related budget and cost line items to justify expenditures or document trends can be difficult because security activities cut across many business areas, including human resources, training and help desk. Most organizations fold their security budgets and spending into another cost center, whether IT (48%), general operations (19%) or compliance (4%), where security budget and cost line items are combined with other related factors. Only 23% track security budgets and costs as its own cost center.” SANS makes an astute observation which may account for the shortfall in IT spending projections by some researchers and analysts.

The Cybersecurity Market Report will be updated with new cybersecurity spending data in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Telco Systems adds 100 Gigabit Ethernet capabilities to its ATCA switch blade
Posted by Talia Rimon on May 30, 2016

Telco Systems has launched a 100GE AdvancedTCA (ATCA) Switch blade that delivers unparalleled connectivity to ATCA platforms. The new T-ATCA 510 addresses the increasing traffic demands from the network core to the access points.

ATCA specifications enable rapid development of mission-critical telecom applications, IP-based multimedia services (IMS), and metro Ethernet aggregation service routing.

This new 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GE) platform utilizes the industry leading QSFP28 technology, which brings the lowest cost per bandwidth and allows service providers to gradually decommission the use of dark fiber WDM-based transport layer. At the same time, it addresses a key challenge of service providers to reduce both OPEX and CAPEX.

The T-ATCA 510 deploys an extensive networking software suite, BiNOX, to provide a complete networking solution for ATCA platforms. BiNOX is Telco Systems’ field-proven, carrier-grade networking operating system, which helps eliminate oversubscription and traffic congestion and supports low latency requirements, which are mandatory in carrier-grade and cloud networks.

Additionally, it supports 10/40/100Gbps multi-rate switching on the fabric interface (FI) and 1/10Gbps multi-rate switching on the base interface (BI). The T-ATCA 510 provides flexible port fan-out of up to 40 x 10GE fabric interface ports or 2x 100GE plus 24x 10GE or 2x 100GE plus 4x 40GE plus 8x 10GE.

In addition to the T-ATCA 510, Telco Systems also released its new T-Metro 8100 service aggregation platform with 100GE support, which allows service providers to offer cloud-based business Ethernet and mobile backhaul services to the network using star or ring topologies.

T-Metro 8100 is designed for service providers that need high reliability and flexibility to aggregate multiple services over 1GE, 10GE and 100GE port rates in a metro Ethernet environment.

BATM's biomedical arm became profitable for the first time
BATM Advanced Communications Ltd rides currency headwinds
INVESTMENT
OVERVIEW: BVC
THE BIG
PICTURE
BATM has bought Green Lab Hungary Engineering, which develops and distributes analytical instruments
Laboratory and telecom network technology group BATM Advanced Communications Ltd (LON:BVC) said a maiden profit in its biomedical arm had driven it back into the black.

BATM revealed the biomedical division, which makes up 54% of BATM's sales, had become profitable for the first time in the group's history.

The division's gross margin improved to 25% versus 23% in 2014, its distribution business expanded in absolute terms in all markets and its diagnostics unit reached break-even.

The group made a US$700,000 adjusted operating profit in the year to December 31 against a US$1mln loss a year ago.

BATM's telecom division started showing a recovery as it reported a US$300,000 operating profit in the second half against a US$900,000 loss last time.

New products and technologies also continued to increase sales and replace legacy products, positioning the group to further improve revenues and gross margins.

Group pre-tax earnings before interest, depreciation and amortisation were US$2.5mln against US900,000mln a year ago.

Constant currency revenue rose to US$111.7mln from US$109.2mln beforehand.

WHAT THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE SAID

On the performance in 2015...

Zvi Marom said: "We believe we have turned a corner and transformed the group in both our divisions.

"In particular, the diagnostics unit reached a major milestone by reaching break-even for the first time and also increased its production capacity, for both instruments and reagents, to cater for anticipated demand in 2016.

On the outlook...

"Looking ahead, we entered 2016 in a stronger position, with a higher backlog, than at the same time in the prior year. We expect to maintain the momentum of last year.

"The board expects to achieve growth in line with market expectations."

ABOUT THE COMPANY

Currency head-winds ruffled BATM in 2015, but the group is confident biomedical business advances and a telecoms recovery will help it ride the turbulence.

Foreign exchange volatility weighed on the group's reported revenue by US$14.6mln, although constant currency revenue lifted 2.3% to US$111.7mln.

But BATM racked up its first profit in its bio-medical division and pointed to a recovery in its telecoms arm as evidence that business is on track.

The bio-medical division, which is involved in developing diagnostic systems, biological waste products and analytical instruments, increased its gross margin to 25% against 23% a year earlier.

The distribution business grew, in absolute terms, in all markets and its diagnostic arm reached break-even.

It signed an agreement with Gamida for Life to establish a joint venture company, Ador, to develop and market a unique rapid-results molecular diagnostics system, and earlier this year, BATM announced the acquisition of Green Lab Hungary Engineering Ltd, which develops and distributes analytical instruments, for US$3.8mln.

Its telecoms division showed signs of getting back on track after tussling with lower revenue and a stock write-off related to legacy products.

The business achieved a second-half operating profit due to tight cost control, resulting in a full-year adjusted operating profit of US$300,000, compared to a US$900,000 loss in the second half of 2014.

It won telecoms-related contracts in Asia Pacific and the US and netted a government deal potentially worth US$10mln or more in the growing cyber-security market.

In June 2016, telecoms subsidiary Telco also completed a 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) installation for a major telecoms group in south-east Asia.

The contract was a follow on from an earlier network

modernisation upgrade to 4G/LTE services. At network capacity of 10GE, the telecoms group can support more broadband traffic and offer higher quality

services, BATM said.

Adjusted basic earnings per share were 0.02 cents against a loss per share of 0.36 cents in 2014. Cash outflow was US$2.2mln against US$5.3mln last time.

At the end of 2015, the group had cash and cash equivalents and financial assets of US$23.8mln versus US$34.9mln a year earlier.

Marom said: "We expect to maintain the momentum of last year across our divisions, supported by our recent Green Lab acquisition.

"We are particularly excited by the interest being received by Ador, our diagnostics joint venture company with Gamida."

WHAT THE SHARE PRICE DID

Shares in the group were 16.47p in mid-morning trading in London.

WHAT THE BROKERS SAID

Broker and adviser to BATM, Shore Capital, noted that the balance sheet remained strong with liquidity of about US$23.8mln and net cash of some US$19mln.

It expects biomedical to make up more of the company's revenues in 2016, although currency head-winds are likely to continue to weigh.

It added that positive signs continue to emerge of improving market traction in telecoms and cyber activities appeared to be gaining traction.

"We note the government sole supplier agreement for a security solution signed last year – a strong reference point for future sales, in our view," the broker's Robin Speakman said.

Speakman added that Shore was keeping its forecast of a steady improvement in profit on recovering sales at an underlying constant currency level.

He said: "We expect positive news flow on strategic development to continue."

BATM chief: What we have is “best of breed”


http://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/stocktube/5119/batm-chief-what-we-have-is-best-of-breed-5119.html

BATM Advanced Communications PLC (LON:BVC) chief executive Zvi Marom tells Proactive Investors that the company turned a corner in 2015 and has enough finance to continue to do everything in their programme in the year ahead.

“The contract we just signed took three years of testing to convince that we have is the best of breed. Obviously we will have more contracts in the coming years – this is very obvious” he says.

Marom says BATM is billing in markets they have not seen before is trying to bundle cyber together with networking in European markets in particular. “All the units we are supplying are cyber-ready – I don’t see any other suppliers doing this” he says.

BATM Advanced Communications Limited

("BATM" or "the Group")

BATM delivers project extension to Tier 1 network service provider in Southeast Asia

Deployment of 10GE solution to expand customer's broadband capacity and enable compliance with latest industry standards

BATM Advanced Communications Limited (LSE: BVC), a leading provider of real-time technologies for networking solutions and medical laboratory systems, is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned Telco Systems ("Telco") subsidiary has supplied a 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) solution to a prominent Tier 1 telecommunications service provider ("the Customer") in Southeast Asia. This follows the successful deployment, under a previous contract, of Telco products as part of an earlier network modernisation project that enabled the Customer to expand its customer base and offer 4G/LTE services.

Under this latest contract, the Group has provided several hundreds of its T-Marc 3348 devices, an interface solution that incorporates high capacity in a compact size, to enable the Customer to expand its network capacity to 10GE. By expanding its network capacity to 10GE, the Customer is able to support more broadband traffic and offer higher quality services. In addition, the Group has implemented its EdgeGenie Orchestrator CE 2.0 management system, which provides the Customer with a comprehensive framework for defining, monitoring and controlling the service provisioning processes.

A key reason the Customer decided to expand the capacity of its network was as part of a corporate effort to comply with the latest industry standards - the MEF Carrier Ethernet 2.0 (CE 2.0) standards. Launched in 2012 by the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF), the CE 2.0 certification programme is the MEF's second generation of standards for service providers and equipment vendors. CE 2.0 certification is a very rigorous process involving hundreds of test cases. The T-Marc 3348's built-in compliance with MEF CE 2.0 standards was one of the reasons that the Customer selected Telco.

Zvi Marom, Chief Executive Officer of BATM, said: "We are proud to have been awarded this project extension with an existing Tier 1 customer, which is testament to our successful delivery of a previous contract and furthers our stated strategy of focusing on expanding our Tier 1 client base. 10GE is quickly becoming a requirement for service providers around the world to meet the broadband demands of new services and customer usage, and, with our industry-leading solutions, we are well positioned to help them with this migration."

Leading Asian telco deploys Telco Systems’ 10GE demarcation solutionPosted by Talia Rimon on June 1, 2016
Telco Systems has supplied 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GE) demarcation devices to a prominent Tier 1 telecommunications service provider in Southeast Asia.

As part of the deal, Telco Systems has deployed hundreds T-Marc 3348 devices, enabling this leading service provider to expand its network capacity to 10GE. T-Marc 3348 is a cost effective aggregation and demarcation device that supports high capacity Ethernet, multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) and Internet protocol (IP) access.

Telco Systems also implemented its EdgeGenie Orchestrator Carrier Ethernet 2.0 (CE 2.0) management system, which provides the service provider a comprehensive framework for defining, monitoring and controlling the service provisioning processes.

T-Marc 3348S - True 10 Gigabit Ethernet/MPLS Demarcation Device

By expanding its network capacity to 10GE, the customer can support more broadband traffic, offer higher quality services and better serve its customers with stronger service level agreements (SLAs).

The service provider decided to expand the capacity of its network as part of a corporate effort to comply with MEF CE 2.0 standards. T-Marc 3348’s built-in compliance with MEF CE 2.0 standards was one of the reasons that the service provider selected Telco Systems.

Other demarcation devices from the T-Marc product line were previously deployed already as part of an earlier network modernization project, carried out by Telco Systems enabling the service provider to expand its customer base and offer 4G/LTE services.

“10GE is quickly becoming a requirement for service providers to meet the broadband demands of new services and customer usage,” said Raanan Tzemach, Vice President of Product and Marketing at Telco Systems. “We are well positioned to help service providers around the world with this migration and we expect to be announcing similar projects soon.”

>reeltime...... entirely its the bottom line thats determining the share price The momentum as you say is hard to ignore and they ought to have a decent pipeline for orders now in the Telco business. BATM has been depressed though for quite some time and investors just will not buy the potential no matter what the company says.
Interestingly we have not heard anything from the medical division for ages now.

[reeltime] 01/6/2016 22:57

Fse thanks for the posts. There certainly is momentum in the Telco business with more promised soon. It would appear the 'proof of concept' testing and change of strategy is paying off. Ultimately it's the bottom line figures which will determine how successful all this is.
