Salik Reports Record FY 2025 Results with 35% Revenue Growth and Net Profit of AED 1.55 Billion

Salik Company PJSC (“Salik” or “the Company”), Dubai’s exclusive toll gate operator, has announced robust financial results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, posting record revenue and profit growth that underscore its strong operational performance and strategic execution.

Total revenue for FY 2025 surged 35.1% year-on-year (YoY) to AED 3.10 billion, while net profit climbed 33.4% YoY to AED 1.55 billion, driven by higher traffic volumes, the successful introduction of variable pricing, and the full-year contribution from two new toll gates launched in November 2024. EBITDA rose 35.8% to AED 2.14 billion, maintaining a healthy 69.2% margin.

The company’s Board of Directors proposed total dividends of AED 1.66 billion, including AED 890.3 million to be paid in the first half of 2026, representing 100% of H2 2025 net profit alongside a special dividend for FY 2025.

Operational Growth and Key Drivers

Salik recorded 639.1 million chargeable trips in 2025, reflecting Dubai’s continued economic and population growth, as well as rising commercial and tourism activity. Total trips, including discounted ones, increased 33.6% YoY to 852.7 million.

Revenue from toll usage fees rose 37.3% YoY to AED 2.74 billion, supported by the rollout of variable pricing in January 2025. Fines revenue stood at AED 280.6 million, while tag activation fees increased 14.8% YoY to AED 46.9 million.

Ancillary revenues reached AED 24 million, marking a 300%+ increase from FY 2024, driven by partnerships with Emaar Malls, Parkonic, and Liva Group.
