Presight AI Achieves Record 2025 Growth with Global Expansion Boost
Abu Dhabi-based Presight AI Holding Plc has announced its best financial performance yet for the first half of 2025. The company recorded Dh1.09 billion in revenue, an 80.2% increase compared to the same time last year.
This rapid growth came from strong domestic demand and rising international sales. The company also benefited from a growing order book and strong cash reserves.
Even without contributions from its partner AIQ, Presight achieved 33.5% organic revenue growth year-on-year. This shows that the business is expanding on its own strength, not only through partnerships.
EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) grew 59.6% to Dh245.5 million. Net profit rose 18.8% to Dh209.7 million, even after the UAE introduced a new 15% corporate tax in 2025.
Second Quarter Shows Solid Performance
The second quarter of 2025 was another strong period for Presight. Revenue reached Dh523.9 million, an increase of 53.5% compared to Q2 2024.
Organic growth made up 19.7% of that revenue, showing the company’s steady ability to win new business.
EBITDA for the quarter rose 45.5% to Dh104.5 million, while net profit increased 11.5% to Dh89.7 million. The company achieved this despite paying the new corporate tax, proving it can adapt to changing market conditions.
International Sales Grow Rapidly
One of the most impressive results came from Presight’s international business. In Q2 2025, 26.8% of total revenue came from markets outside the UAE. In Q2 2024, international sales made up only 4.9% of revenue.
This sharp increase reflects Presight’s successful global expansion strategy. The company is now delivering AI-powered solutions in multiple regions, including:
- Predictive analytics for smart city projects
- AI-based defense and security technology
- Healthcare system optimization
- Data analytics for government decision-making
By tailoring solutions to the needs of different countries, Presight is building a strong presence in the global AI industry.
Strong Order Backlog Shows Future Growth Potential
Presight secured Dh304 million in new orders during the second quarter of 2025. This pushed its total order backlog to Dh3.7 billion.
This is more than three times higher than the backlog a year ago. It means the company already has a large amount of future work confirmed.
The backlog includes long-term contracts in government services, infrastructure projects, and public safety systems, where AI is becoming essential. This provides Presight with a steady revenue pipeline for the coming years.
Debt-Free with Strong Cash Reserves
Presight ended the first half of 2025 with Dh2 billion in cash and zero debt.
This financial strength allows the company to invest in:
- Research and development (R&D) for advanced AI technologies
- Hiring skilled professionals to support growth
- Expanding into new international markets
Being debt-free also means Presight is not under pressure from loan repayments, giving it more flexibility in making strategic decisions.
Key Role in the UAE’s AI Ambitions
The UAE aims to be one of the world’s leading AI hubs by 2031. Presight is helping make that vision a reality.
Its AI platforms and data solutions are already used in areas such as:
- Smart transportation systems
- Public safety and emergency response
- Healthcare planning and resource allocation
- Environmental monitoring
The UAE government’s National AI Strategy 2031 has created a strong environment for AI businesses to grow. Presight’s local success and global reach make it a key player in this transformation.
Adapting to New Corporate Tax Rules
In 2025, the UAE introduced a 15% corporate tax. For many companies, this new tax reduced profit margins.
However, Presight managed to increase profits despite the tax. This was possible due to:
- Efficient cost management
- High-value projects with strong profit margins
- Scalable AI solutions that lower operating costs
This adaptability shows that Presight has a resilient business model capable of withstanding regulatory changes.
Riding the Global AI Market Wave
The global AI market is growing at a rapid pace. Analysts expect it to generate more than $500 billion in annual revenue by 2027.
Companies offering proven, secure, and adaptable AI solutions will benefit the most from this growth. Presight is well-positioned, thanks to:
- A stable base in the UAE, a tech-friendly hub
- Expertise in multiple AI fields
- A growing international customer base
This combination helps Presight compete in regions where digital transformation is still emerging, creating opportunities for long-term partnerships.
Innovation at the Core of Presight’s Strategy
Presight is not just expanding; it is also investing in new technologies to stay ahead of the competition. The company is working on:
- Advanced machine learning models
- Cloud-based AI platforms for easier access
- Cybersecurity-focused AI solutions
- Faster real-time data processing tools
These innovations help meet customer needs in sectors where security, speed, and accuracy are essential, such as defense, healthcare, and public safety.
The Road Ahead
With a large order backlog, strong cash reserves, and global expansion plans, Presight is in a good position for the rest of 2025 and beyond.
The company’s strategy focuses on:
- Maintaining leadership in the UAE AI market
- Growing international sales and partnerships
- Continuing innovation in AI technologies
- Staying financially strong without debt
As AI adoption increases worldwide, Presight aims to become one of the most recognized AI solution providers globally.
