ABU DHABI, 5th August, 2024: Presight AI Holding PLC, announced first half results for the six months to 30th June 2024, with strong growth in year-on-year revenue and profitability, underpinned by multi-year contracts, positive deployment mix, and the contribution from AIQ.
Presight’s H1 2024 revenue grew 17.4 percent year-on-year, to reach AED 603.5 million, more than twice the level of revenue growth achieved in the same period last year. Q2 2024 revenue increased by 18.7 percent year-on-year to AED 341.4 million.

In June 2024, Presight completed the acquisition of a 51 percent stake in AIQ, marking the Company’s entry into the energy sector. Post the acquisition, Presight commenced the financial consolidation of AIQ’s results effective from June 2024. Excluding AIQ, Presight achieved double-digit revenue growth in H1 2024, high single-digit EBITDA growth with growth across both quarters exceeding the comparable periods last year, and a 24.5 percent increase in profit before tax.

Presight also announced the formation of IntelliGrid – a new joint venture with Esyasoft Technology – aimed at facilitating a seamless technological and AI transition in the areas of electricity, water, and gas.
Thomas Pramotedham, Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The past six months have been transformational for Presight, with new agreements and partnerships that help us to support governments around the world in sustainably realizing their digital ambitions, launching new enterprise-level products and solutions that support large-scale deployment of Generative AI technology, and the acquisition of a majority stake in AIQ, which reinforces our commitment to create safer and more sustainable societies through AI problem-solving.
“We are honoured to have Dr. Sultan bin Ahmed Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, as Presight’s Chairman, with his wealth of experience and visionary leadership instrumental in helping us to fast track the energy transition globally.
