Presight has announced its financial results for the full year ending December 31, 2024. Presight FY 2024 results saw record revenue of AED 2,213 million, an increase of 24.3% compared to FY 2023 as the Company continued to reap the rewards of its comprehensive offering, investments, and growth in international operations.
The strong performance reflected in EBITDA as well, which grew 25.2% YoY to AED 635.4 million due to a favorable deployment mix in FY 2024. At its bottom-line, the Company reported net profit after tax of AED 612.8 million, reflecting an increase of 7.4% YoY in FY 2024, including a maiden year of Corporation Tax.
Presight’s top-line performance came on the back of a growing proportion of multi-year contracts, strong new orders, as well as the Company’s expansion across international markets as it continues to extend its offering to customers globally. On this front, international markets contributed 23.0% of Presight’s revenue and booked a 3.5x increase to AED 508.2 million in FY 2024.
Moreover, the highly liquid, debt-free balance sheet, for Presight with a cash and equivalents balance of AED 1.94 billion in FY 2024, provides ample financial flexibility to support operations and headroom to drive future growth.
His Excellency Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Presight commented: “Presight’s full year results demonstrate strong execution against strategic objectives, namely international expansion, investing in capability and innovation, and growing through value-accretive M&A. At the heart of its business lies a commitment to leverage artificial intelligence to bring transformative benefits, across a diverse range of industries, that define a safer and more sustainable economic future, and I am confident that Presight will continue to create value for all stakeholders in both the near and medium term.”
