Abu Dhabi-listed artificial intelligence (AI) and big data analytics firm Presight AI Holding Plc is experiencing a rapid ascent. The company, majority-owned by tech giant G42, announced a 48.8% year-on-year revenue surge for the first nine months of 2025, hitting AED 1.74 billion ($473.8 million). This impressive growth is fueled by a dramatic expansion into international markets, which now contribute a record 46% of Presight’s total revenue.
The third quarter alone saw AED 652.9 million ($177.8 million) in revenue, a 15.3% jump compared to the same period last year. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) rose 14.4% to AED 131.8 million, while net profit increased by 1.1% to AED 110.3 million.
Presight’s success story isn’t solely driven by recent performance. The company boasts a robust order backlog of AED 3.7 billion ($1 billion), more than double the amount from the same period last year. This significant backlog— fueled by multi-year contracts in Angola, Kazakhstan, and Jordan — provides strong evidence that Presight’s long-term international expansion strategy is paying off.
A Global AI Powerhouse Emerges
What truly distinguishes this earnings report is the meteoric rise of Presight’s international footprint. Within a year, the contribution from overseas markets has skyrocketed from 14.3% to a commanding 46%. This aggressive push positions Presight not just as a leader in its home market but as a major global provider of AI solutions— essentially acting as an exporter of cutting-edge UAE technology and expertise.
The company is actively pursuing this vision through strategic partnerships, such as collaborations with Dow Jones Factiva to develop innovative risk and compliance solutions for financial institutions using AI.
Furthermore, Presight’s expansion efforts are geographically diverse:
- Agreements inked in Tajikistan and Azerbaijan
- The launch of the Kazakhstan AI Hub in Astana
- Partnerships secured across Malaysia, Uganda, and most recently, a strategic collaboration with Dow Jones Factiva to develop AI-native risk and compliance solutions.
A Snapshot of Strong Financial Performance
Presight’s subsidiary AIQ is also making significant contributions to this success story. Within the third quarter alone, AIQ added AED 155.7 million ($42.4 million) to group revenue and AED 24 million to EBITDA. Its ENERGYai platform— described as a groundbreaking agent-based AI solution for oil and gas companies — is strengthening its position within the energy sector.
Adding to the positive picture, Presight entered the third quarter with a healthy AED 1.88 billion ($510 million) in cash reserves while maintaining a debt-free balance sheet. This strong financial foundation allows Presight to continue investing in both domestic and international growth initiatives, fueling further innovation and expansion.
Presight AI’s current trajectory firmly establishes the company as a major player in the global AI landscape. With impressive revenue growth, expanding market reach, and strategic partnerships secured across diverse sectors, it seems likely that Presight will continue its rapid ascent for years to come.
