• EBITDA of $2.1m (2012: $4.3m).

Operational Summary
• Medical division (47% of total sales):
• Strong momentum in the second half of 2013, particularly in the fourth quarter, resulting in two of the division’s three businesses reaching profitability.
• Significant milestone achieved in the sterilization business with delivery of the first FDA-approved units to customers in the US during the fourth quarter.
• Diagnostics business secured an important OEM contract for its HIV kits, which commenced generating revenues in 2013.
• Received certifications of diagnostic kits in several new geographies.
• Diagnostics business also saw improved performance of its clinical chemistry instruments as a result of bundling them with reagents and selling them together.
• Post period-end, secured an initial $2.5m contract in Myanmar, expected to be delivered in H1 2014, for distribution and provision of sterilization and diagnostics products. Also signed cooperation agreement with Roche, one of the leading suppliers in this field, for this territory.
• Telecom division (53% of total sales):
• Implemented a strategic change to focus on Tier 1 clients, SDN (Software Defined Networking) and NFV (Network Functions Virtualization) solutions using its T-Marc, T-Metro 8000 and Edge Genie platforms.
• Ariel Efrati, former senior vice president at Amdocs (NYSE: DOX), appointed as Managing Director.
• Orders received from major OEM to provide networking platform to its Tier 1 customers.
• Fiber optic project being rolled out together with Cisco Systems and Israeli Electric Company, with first client expected to be connected in H1 2014.
• Slight year-on-year decline in revenues reflecting slowdown in capital expenditure in North and South America and strength of Israeli shekel against US dollar.
• Completed sale of legacy business to a management led buy-out and re-integrated one product line back into the division’s portfolio.
Dr Zvi Marom, Chief Executive Officer of BATM, said:
“The Group is making progress in both of its divisions, with the Medical division experiencing good growth and the Telecom division seeing early positive signs from the change of its strategy to focus on Tier 1 clients.
“Looking ahead, the momentum of the fourth quarter has continued into the new year, particularly in the Medical division. We expect the Medical division to achieve another year of solid organic growth with a greater number of products being delivered to more territories and increased cooperation with major industry players. In the Telecom division, we expect to start benefitting from sales to Tier 1 companies. We believe that the steps taken in 2013 will result in BATM delivering growth and improved results in 2014 compared with 2013.”
