Salik announced its third-quarter and nine-month results on November 13 for the period ended September 30, 2026, reporting revenue of AED 2,117.3 million in the first nine months. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization reached AED 1,449.6 million, with a margin of 68%. The company also posted net profit of AED 1,045.1 million, with a net margin of 49.4%. The Emirates News Agency reported the results in its financial announcement, citing the company. The disclosures included a 2027 fiscal-year outlook, while the announcement did not establish a cut to 2026 guidance.

The number of trips through Salik’s gates reached 194.0 million in the third quarter, up 4.0% from the second quarter. But the nine-month year-on-year picture was weaker: total trips came to 577.8 million, down 8.1% from 628.4 million in the corresponding period of 2025. The divergence puts the quarterly improvement in the context of cumulative traffic that remains below its level a year earlier. The chief executive said September was the company’s busiest month for traffic since February. This points to an improvement within the quarter without changing the fact that trips declined year on year over the nine months.

Revenue from sources not directly tied to trip fees, known as ancillary revenue, reached AED 26.5 million in the first nine months, up 82.5% year on year. The company attributed the increase mainly to its partnership with Parkonic in parking. The activity provides an additional source of revenue alongside vehicle traffic through the gates. The growth came as total trips declined year on year, highlighting the diversity of the revenue sources reported by the company in its results. The disclosure did not link this revenue to any statement about profit margin stability or a revision to 2026 guidance.

Salik expects revenue growth of between 6% and 8% in fiscal 2027, with an earnings-before-interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization margin of between 69.5% and 70.5%. Its published 2026 outlook in its 2025 annual report pointed to year-on-year revenue growth of between 4% and 6% and an earnings-before-interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization margin of between 68% and 69%. The two published ranges provide context for the outlooks for both years, but do not establish that the company cut its 2026 guidance. The 2027 outlook follows results for the period ended September 30, which combined an increase in trips from the previous quarter with a decline in total trips from the corresponding period a year earlier.
