In 2024
During its financial year ended 30 June 2024, International SOS achieved revenue of $1.4 billion for a double-digit EBITDA margin, up in the high single digits.
Assistance services continued their sustained growth trajectory, driven by the subscriptions business with double-digit revenue growth.
The medical services business was boosted by new government contracts, won on the strength of the legitimacy that International SOS has acquired through its management of crises such as Covid-19 and through its mobilisation in certain areas of high geopolitical tension.
