Airbus Discontinues Acquisition Talks for Atos’s Cybersecurity Division, Impacting Share Prices

in Cybersecurity in Trade, Security & Risk

Atos disclosed on Tuesday, March 19, that Airbus had ceased discussions related to the acquisition of its BDS cybersecurity unit, a revelation that led to a notable decrease in Atos’s stock value, with shares tumbling nearly 20%. The news marks a significant turn in the ongoing negotiations between the two European giants, leaving Atos to reassess its strategic direction amid financial pressures. In response to the halted discussions, Atos issued a statement expressing its commitment to thoroughly analyzing the implications of the ceased negotiations. The company emphasized its intention to actively pursue strategic alternatives mindful of the national interests of France, indicating the importance of aligning its future actions with the broader economic and security priorities of the state.

Airbus, for its part, confirmed the cessation of discussions through a concise statement, “Airbus has decided it will no longer pursue discussions with Atos about this potential transaction.” This decision ends the potential for a deal that industry observers had closely monitored, given its implications for the European aerospace and cybersecurity sectors. The termination of talks poses significant challenges for Atos, which is navigating through a turbulent period characterized by multiple profit warnings and leadership changes. Nicolas David, an analyst at Oddo BHF, pointed out the dual challenges arising from this development: an impending liquidity crisis that could expedite a safeguard procedure, adversely affecting current shareholders through potential dilution, and complicating the company’s efforts to restructure its debt.

Atos’s quest for stability has seen it engage in various discussions to offload parts of its business to manage debt effectively. The company had been in talks with Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky regarding the sale of its legacy operations, although these discussions have also concluded without reaching an agreement. Despite this setback, there are indications that Kretinsky may still be considering making a new offer, a move that could introduce fresh dynamics into Atos’s strategic considerations. The situation reflects the broader challenges faced by companies in the tech and cybersecurity sectors, as they navigate the complex interplay of market demands, financial health, and strategic partnerships. For Atos, the coming months will be critical as it explores alternatives to reinforce its market position and address its financial concerns, all while maintaining alignment with the strategic and sovereign interests of France.
