Chairman His Excellency Mattar Al Tayer highlighted the company’s commitment to enhancing mobility in Dubai and the strategic initiatives that contributed to this strong performance. Key developments included a partnership with Emaar for a seamless parking solution at Dubai Mall, which has already positively impacted financial results. Additionally, Salik is preparing to operationalize two new toll gates, the Business Bay Crossing and Al Safa South, on November 24, 2024, as part of Dubai’s plan to improve traffic flow and infrastructure.

CEO Ibrahim Sultan Al Haddad expressed optimism about the company’s growth prospects, noting an expected revenue increase of 7-8% for FY24. He also anticipates sustained growth into 2025, with revenue-generating trips projected to grow by 24-25% due to the new toll gates.

The parking solution at Dubai Mall contributed AED 2.57 million in revenue during its first full quarter. Furthermore, the company maintained a solid balance sheet, with a net debt/EBITDA ratio of 2.1x, well below its target threshold.

The company continues to build its reputation as a leader in sustainable, smart mobility solutions, with a focus on growth, diversification, and leveraging its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strengths. Salik’s recent accomplishments, including the launch of new toll gates and the parking solution at Dubai Mall, are expected to further its position in the mobility sector and support Dubai’s status as a global destination.
