Trading Update and Notice of Results
BATM (LSE: BVC; TASE: BVC), a leading provider of real-time technologies for networking solutions and medical laboratory systems, gives notice that the Group will be announcing its results for the year ended 31 December 2021 on Monday 28 February 2022.
The Group is delighted to announce that it expects to report full year revenue and EBITDA for 2021 slightly ahead of market expectations (which were raised during the year on 23 August 2021) reflecting strong growth from ongoing operations* with increased revenue in both divisions. In particular, this has been driven by significant growth in the Group's Diagnostics unit of the Bio-Medical division.
Looking ahead, the Group entered the new year with a substantially higher backlog from ongoing operations than at the same point of the prior year and the strong momentum of 2021 has continued. Accordingly, the Group remains on track to deliver significant growth for full year 2022 in line with market expectations.
Further detail will be provided in the Group's full year results announcement on 28 February 2022.
