Salik Reports FY 2025 Revenue of AED 3.10 Billion, Boosts 35.1% YoY
Salik Company PJSC, the sole operator of toll gates in Dubai, has announced substantial financial results for the year ending December 31, 2025. The company reported a significant increase in total revenue, which soared by 35.1% year-on-year to AED 3.10 billion, bolstered by a 26.3% rise in revenue during the fourth quarter of 2025.
Revenue and EBITDA Growth
In FY 2025, Salik achieved an EBITDA of AED 2.14 billion, resulting in a remarkable margin of 69.2%. This performance is attributed to the full-year contribution from two new toll gates introduced in November 2024, the effective implementation of variable pricing initiated in late January 2025, and ongoing support from Dubai’s favorable economic environment.
The total number of chargeable trips recorded by Salik reached 639.1 million for the fiscal year, with 168.6 million trips completed in the last quarter.
Leadership Insights
Chairman of the Board of Directors, His Excellency Mattar Al Tayer, emphasized that FY 2025 marked a year of significant strategic achievements for Salik, reflecting both financial growth and the resilience of its business model. He noted that the revenue increase was primarily driven by the new toll gates, effective variable pricing strategies, and the growing number of chargeable trips.
According to Al Tayer, the uptick in traffic aligns with Dubai’s ongoing economic expansion, vibrant commercial activity, and rising tourism.
Ibrahim Sultan Al Haddad, Chief Executive Officer of Salik, echoed the Chairman’s sentiments, highlighting that total trips increased by 33.6% year-on-year, with toll revenues rising by 37.3%. Al Haddad attributed this growth to the commissioning of new toll gates and the benefits realized from the variable pricing framework.
Strategic Partnerships and Future Outlook
Looking ahead, Salik is emphasizing its long-term strategy, which includes the expansion of ancillary revenue streams through strategic partnerships. These partnerships are designed to enhance the company’s value proposition within the economic landscape of Dubai.
Salik recently entered into a decade-long agreement with Dubai Airports, further reinforcing its commitment to shaping the future of mobility in the emirate. The company is also advancing its electric vehicle (EV) charging initiatives through collaborations with Schneider Electric and Vcharge, while also enhancing payment solutions via partnerships with ENOC.
Al Tayer highlighted the importance of innovation in operational efficiency and how these initiatives contribute to achieving the Emirate’s long-term vision of becoming a global hub for advanced infrastructure.
Continued Growth and Robust Strategies
Overall, the substantial growth in Salik’s operations reflects Dubai’s increasing population and sustained tourist interest. The company remains optimistic about the broader economic outlook, expecting continued strong performance supported by recent trends in both residential demand and tourism.
With a well-capitalized balance sheet and solid cash generation, Salik is poised for sustainable growth, focusing on innovation as it expands its mobility ecosystem and adjacent services in the coming years.
