Presight AI Holding, a leading Abu Dhabi-based global big data analytics company powered by AI, has reported another period of strong performance for the third quarter driven by robust international growth and sustained operational momentum.
Presight reported AED652.9
million in revenue for Q3 of 2025, an increase of 15.3 percent compared to the
same period in 2024. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and
amortization (EBITDA) rose 14.4 percent to AED131.8 million, while profit
before tax increased 9.8 percent to AED131.7 million. Net profit of AED110.3
million for the quarter reflected 1.1 percent growth after absorbing an
additional 6 percent corporate tax rate under the 15 percent UAE corporate tax
rate.
For the first nine
months of 2025, group revenue increased 48.8 percent year on year to AED1.74
billion, with organic revenue up 25.1 percent. EBITDA rose 40.3 percent to AED377.4
million, while net profit increased 12.1 percent to AED320 million, driven by
strong organic growth, and a full nine-month contribution from AIQ, Presight’s
majority-owned subsidiary.
International markets
were a key driver of growth, contributing 46 percent of total revenue in Q3
2025, up from 14.3 percent in the same period last year. Growth was supported
by multi-year deployments in Angola, Kazakhstan, and Jordan.
Continued momentum was
also seen from AIQ, which contributed AED155.7 million to group revenue and AED24.0
million to EBITDA in the quarter. AIQ continued to strengthen its position in
the energy sector through its ENERGYai platform, a world-first agentic AI
solution for oil and gas companies.
Order intake during the
quarter reached AED684.7 million, maintaining total backlog at AED3.7 billion
as of 30 September 2025, consistent with H1 2025 levels despite strong revenue
conversion. Year-to-date, Presight secured AED2.44 billion in new orders, and closed
the quarter with AED1.88 billion in cash while remaining debt-free, maintaining
balance sheet strength to fund growth and innovation.
In the domestic market,
Presight signed new agreements with the Abu Dhabi Department of Government
Enablement to advance data and AI integration across federal entities, and with
the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development to enhance the Procurement
Support Digital Platform, part of the Abu Dhabi SME Champions initiative. The Company
also entered a Strategic Cooperation Agreement with Abu Dhabi Police GHQ to
deploy its AI-Policing Suite, enhancing data-driven law enforcement and public
safety innovation.
Presight further
expanded its role in the UAE’s financial technology ecosystem through a joint
venture with the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates to develop sovereign,
AI-powered platforms that strengthen the country’s financial market infrastructure.
It also signed a memorandum of understanding with the Innovation Hub of the
Emirates Institute of Finance to promote the responsible adoption of AI across
the UAE’s financial system in collaboration with HSBC, Al Maryah Community
Bank, and Core42.
Internationally,
Presight deepened its presence in Central Asia and the Caucasus through new
agreements in Tajikistan and Azerbaijan and the launch of the Kazakhstan AI Hub
in Astana, advancing sovereign AI programs and national data infrastructure in
the region. The company also expanded its financial technology partnerships
globally, collaborating with Dow Jones Factiva to co-develop AI-native risk and
compliance solutions for financial institutions and regulators, with pilot
deployments already underway.
Innovation remained
central to the company’s strategy, highlighted by the launch of Presight
NewsPulse on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, and the $100 million
Presight–Shorooq AI Fund. This AI Fund, managed by Abu Dhabi-based Shorooq,
targets global AI investments and supports startups with capital,
infrastructure, and partnerships to scale responsible innovation.
The company also hosted
the inaugural Presight AI-Startup Accelerator Bootcamp, showcasing 10 global
startups and generating more than 70 qualified government and enterprise leads.
Thomas Pramotedham,
Chief Executive Officer of Presight, said: “Presight delivered a strong third-quarter performance,
powered by our twin engines of growth through strengthened partnerships with
UAE federal entities and the continued expansion of our international
footprint. This balanced approach positions Presight as the UAE’s trusted AI
partner, and a leading regional exporter of AI and digital transformation
services across the Middle East, Central and South-East Asia, Africa and Europe.
We continue to drive sustained growth, a healthy backlog, and long-term value
creation for our stakeholders.”
After the quarter ended,
Presight and its subsidiary AIQ concluded a series of memoranda of understanding
with UAE federal authorities and industry partners, including the Ministry of
Industry and Advanced Technology, UAE Public Prosecution, UAE Cyber Security
Council, Khazna Data Centers, Dubai Taxi Company, and Emirates Nuclear Energy
Company, to advance AI deployment across government, infrastructure, and
mobility sectors.
Also after the quarter
ended, an MoU was signed with Bahrain’s Nasser Centre for Science and
Technology (NCST) to promote digital transformation and AI adoption across key
sectors in the Kingdom.
As part of the Company’s
participation at the GITEX Global technology event, it signed eight MoUs and made 12
announcements during the event, reflective of its role as a leader in AI and
digital transformation. – TradeArabia News Service
