Salik maintains a growing and positive impact on the community
Salik continues to prioritize investing in its human resources and upholds its commitment to
diversity and inclusivity. Salik expanded its full-time workforce by 27% YoY, from 33 in March
2023, to 42 personnel in March 2024, with a rise in the number of nationalities represented
from 9 to 13. Salik continues to progress on Emiratization, attaining a level of over 30% by

Corporate Strategy Update
Salik’s strategic evolution for becoming a global leader; two new gates expected in
2024
Salik aims to become a global leader in sustainable and smart mobility solutions by focusing
on achieving sustainable growth and establishing itself as a future-proof company. It plans to
diversify its business through initiatives such as introducing new toll gates and providing
parking payment solutions at Dubai Mall. Salik aims to build a portfolio of vehicle-centered
mobility services and ancillary revenue streams while ensuring efficient treasury
management and funding systems. It emphasizes maintaining strong ESG credentials,
reducing environmental impact, contributing to community happiness and safety, and
upholding corporate governance standards.
Business Outlook
Salik anticipates a 4-6% YoY increase in revenue-generating trips for full year 2024, with a
robust EBITDA margin of 65-66%. Management is monitoring the closure of the Floating
Bridge, which has boosted traffic through the Al Maktoum Bridge toll gate, potentially
impacting financials positively if the closure persists. Updated financial guidance will be
provided at the half-year results, considering the impact of new toll gates. Salik recently
reduced its annual concession fees to the RTA, resulting in a lower cost structure effective
from April 1, 2024, expected to positively impact financial performance from Q2 2024
onward.
