BT Brands reported a major operating turnaround for the 52 weeks ended December 28, 2025 while advancing its proposed merger with Aero Velocity. Restaurant-level EBITDA rose 138% to $1.7 million, and restaurant-level EBITDA margin improved to 12.4% from 4.9%.
Despite lower sales of $13.5 million versus $14.8 million in 2024, loss from operations narrowed to $(364,585) from $(1.8) million, and net loss improved to $(687,839), or $(0.11) per share. The company ended 2025 with about $4.4 million in cash and marketable securities and recorded a $216,248 charge to write down bottled water inventory.
BT Brands continues to pursue a definitive merger with Aero Velocity, Inc., which is expected to shift the business toward AI-driven analytics and drone-based inspection services. After closing, restaurant assets and liabilities are expected to be distributed to pre-merger shareholders, with the combined company operating as Aero Velocity Inc. on Nasdaq, subject to required approvals and customary conditions.
BT Brands, Inc. files its annual report describing a small multi‑brand restaurant operator that is pursuing a transformative merger with unmanned‑aerial‑vehicle company Aero Velocity Inc. As of December 28, 2025, the company owned and operated nine restaurants across the Midwest, Florida, and Massachusetts and held a 40.7% equity stake in Bagger Dave’s Burger Tavern, Inc.
The Aero transaction would merge Aero into a BT subsidiary and spin off the restaurant operations into a new company, BT Group, Inc. Aero holders would receive Series A‑1 and A‑2 preferred stock with a stated value of $101.1 million, representing about 89% of the merged company on an as‑converted basis, leaving current BT Brands stockholders and its advisor with roughly 11% and a significant loss of voting control.
The spin‑off of BT Group is not expected to be tax‑free for U.S. federal income tax purposes, so stockholders may incur taxable income on receiving BT Group shares. The filing also outlines operating risks in the restaurant business, including competition, labor costs, food safety, seasonality, cybersecurity, litigation, and the impact of economic conditions.
BT Brands’ proposed merger partner Aero Velocity and fellow AeroShield Alliance members are establishing a new Mississippi headquarters to expand their public-sector infrastructure technology platform. The move is intended to speed deployment of AI-driven infrastructure analytics and drone-based data collection for state and local governments.
The initiative centers on a Rural Transportation Resilience Center at Holmes Community College, supported by local leaders and U.S. Senators Cindy Hyde-Smith and Roger Wicker. If U.S. Department of Transportation grants are awarded, the program is expected to fund AI-enabled inspections across more than 70,000 linear miles of Mississippi roads, support workforce training for about 200 residents, and create an additional 100 jobs over three years.
The release also reiterates that BT Brands and Aero Velocity have a definitive merger agreement under which the combined company is expected to be renamed “Aero Velocity Inc.” and listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, with Mark Hastings as CEO, subject to stockholder approvals and customary closing conditions.
BT Brands’ proposed merger partner Aero Velocity has entered a strategic alliance with SoftWash Systems to launch an integrated drone-based exterior cleaning solution. The partnership combines Aero Velocity’s commercial UAV platforms with SoftWash’s low-pressure, biodegradable cleaning technology to reach difficult and hazardous surfaces more safely and efficiently.
The companies plan joint go-to-market efforts targeting a global commercial exterior cleaning market estimated at more than $1 billion annually, and expect the initiative to contribute meaningfully to 2026 revenue growth. SoftWash supports over 100 affiliates and franchisees across seven countries, generating more than $39 million in 2025 revenue, providing a ready distribution channel for the new drone-washing offering.
BT Brands, Inc. (BTBDW) disclosed transaction terms tied to a merger agreement. Each party agreed to operate in the ordinary course until closing and to seek written consent before taking specified pre-closing actions. Parent will enter into indemnification agreements for directors elected after the Effective Time and will maintain director-and-officer insurance covering pre- and post-closing directors and officers for six years after the Effective Time. At or before the Effective Time, affiliates of the Company who are stockholders will enter a registration rights agreement for shares of Parent Common Stock convertible from Parent Series A Preferred Stock. The Parent Board will adopt an equity incentive plan reserving shares equal to 10% of fully diluted Parent Common Stock outstanding at closing and will file a Form S-8. Concurrently with closing, the parties expect a Concurrent Financing of a minimum of $3.0 million and up to $5.0 million.
