Security services provider G4S Botswana narrowed its annual losses by more than 65% in 2025 after an aggressive restructuring programme lowered operating costs and boosted profitability across its core businesses, although rising impairment charges and governance weaknesses continued to weigh on the group's performance.

Financial statements released on the bourse last week show the company posted a net loss of P4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, a marked improvement from the P14.3 million loss recorded in the previous year. Loss before tax narrowed by nearly 74% to P4.2 million, underscoring the impact of a restructuring exercise undertaken during 2024.

The improved performance comes after several years of financial underperformance and amid heightened scrutiny over the company's repeated delays in publishing audited financial results.
