Smart Salem confirms its strong revenue growth in 2024 with €17,3 million, despite extraordinary negative events

- DIFC and DKP reaching target profitability with 2024 growth

A strong balance sheet with higher cash balance and debt under control

Unaudited Consolidated EBITDA, Net Result and Cash position do not take into account the potential indemnification by the insurance for the loss of profit suffered by City Walk between April and October 2024. The Group submitted an indemnification request[3] and expects ongoing discussions to come to conclusion shortly.
First outlook for 2025 is very positive
Smart Salem posted new footfall record in January 2025[4] and keeps an impressive momentum. Q1 total volume of medical tests performed by Smart Salem is expected to exceed 50,000 tests (c. 30% volume growth vs Q1-2024).
The arrival of a new investor in Smart Health and the commitment of the funding of the project in KAFD[5] shows the acceleration of Smart Health project.
