COMMENTS BY CEO, ALİ TAHA KOÇ, PhD

As Turkcell, the first and only Turkish company to be listed on the Istanbul and New York stock exchanges simultaneously, we celebrated our 30^th anniversary on July 8^th by ringing the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange. In our 30^th year, we resolutely remain on a path toward transforming our solid foundations and innovative company vision into stakeholder value.

In line with our strategy of creating value from our assets, we continuously evaluate our portfolio and take strategic actions when the right conditions are met. Accordingly, we initiated the sale process for our assets in Ukraine at the end of 2023. Upon the completion of official approval procedures, we successfully executed the share sale on September 9, 2024. We expect the final sale value to be determined by the end of the year, following the closing adjustments of the financial statements. With this transaction, we reaffirm our focus on Türkiye and on a technology-driven approach.

In the second quarter of 2024, the Central Bank of Türkiye's decision to keep the policy interest rate steady, meeting expectations, contributed to a balanced macroeconomic trajectory, while low foreign exchange rate volatility improved predictability in managing our financial risks. Annual inflation, which peaked with a 75.4% increase in May, was recorded at 71.6% in June. Therefore, the growth performance of those companies applying hyperinflation accounting was negatively impacted by high inflation.

Our second quarter consolidated revenues were at TRY 34.9 billion, with EBITDA¹ of TRY 14.9 billion, and an EBITDA Margin of 42.6%. We delivered a net income of TRY 2.9 billion, supported by lower foreign exchange rate losses and effective risk management. During the quarter, we had a net add of 346 thousand, reaching a total of 43.2 million subscribers. The strong financial performance of the Techfin segment, one of our strategic focus areas, continued to support our group.

Successful operational results with the lowest mobile churn rate of the past six years

As in 2023, we observed a rational market until May of this year. Yet, after that, the mobile number portability (MNP) market was triggered due to aggressive pricing actions by competitors. As the leader in the mobile segment, we aim for sustainable growth and keep an eye on market rationalization. Although short-term actions leading to unsustainable performance are not among our priorities, we closely monitor changes in market dynamics.

With our customer-focused actions, superior service quality, and value propositions we gained net 474 thousand mobile subscribers in the first half of the year, 245 thousand being in the second quarter. Our postpaid subscriber base rose by a net of 477 thousand this quarter, where the additions of the past 12 months reached 1.8 million. Thanks to our sequential price adjustments, our postpaid subscriber base exceeding 73%, and our ability to upsell our customers, our Mobile ARPU² rose 5.3% year-on-year.

In line with our strategy of offering innovative and comprehensive solutions based on our customers' needs, we continue to stand by them at all times. Within this scope, we have continued to offer the “Smart Control Service,” which we launched in the first quarter, free of charge. Additionally, we shared the spirit of our 30^th anniversary with our customers through the “30^th Anniversary Double Up Campaign.” Thanks to our subscriber retention strategy, supported by analytical models, as well as our innovative campaigns and services, our mobile churn rate decreased to 1.5%, the lowest level of the past six years.

In fixed broadband services, we maintained our focus on fiber subscribers. As a result of strong demand for our high-speed, end-to-end fiber service, we gained net 42 thousand subscribers, bringing our fiber subscriber base to 2.4 million for the quarter. Our high-speed fiber internet packages, designed to meet our customers' growing speed requirements, have continued to attract interest. The rate of fiber subscribers opting for speeds of 100 Mbps and above increased to 34% this quarter, with respect to 24% in the same period of last year. Meanwhile, we continued to pursue our 12-month contract strategy to mitigate the effects of inflation. The share of 12-month contract tariffs among our individual fiber subscribers reached 78%. Residential fiber ARPU rose by 6.6% year-on-year in this quarter. Our total fixed broadband subscriber base reached 3.2 million, and our fixed subscriber churn rate, at 1.2%, marked its lowest level since 2006.

The continued strong contribution of Techfin, one of our focus areas

Our techfin business, which we operate under the Financell³ and Paycell brands, continued to contribute significantly to the group growth this quarter. Financell's revenues grew by 33.9% year-on-year to TRY 947 million, driven by an increase in average interest rates, while its loan portfolio reached TRY 6.3 billion at the end of the second quarter. The revenues of Paycell, which provides secure payment solutions, increased by 15.8% year-on-year. The transaction volume of the "Pay Later" service (excluding group companies) grew by 34% to TRY 2.6 billion, while our POS solutions, which have seen high demand since their launch, continued to strengthen their place in our product portfolio with an 86% increase in transaction volume. Our digital service portfolio, including TV+, lifebox, fizy, BiP, and GAME+, allows us to comprehensively impact our customers' lives. With those services, we primarily focus on revenue and profitability. The standalone paid user⁴ of digital services decreased by 3.8% year-on-year to 5.3 million in the second quarter, while thanks to our pricing actions, revenues from digital services & solutions grew by 4.9%.

We are progressing in line with our strategic goals

In the 30 years since our founding, we have not limited our investments to mobile and fixed infrastructures alone; we have also contributed to a wide range of areas, from people to things, the technology ecosystem to other industries, and from social responsibility to environmental sustainability. That's precisely why, in our 30^th year, we say that, “Everything works with Turkcell, and Turkcell works with everyone.”

Meanwhile, in addition to our core focus on “leadership in telecommunications”, we also prioritize data center operations, renewable energy, artificial intelligence technologies, and cybersecurity to further strengthen our position as an “end-to-end technology provider”. And so, by building on our achievements, we will continue without pause to shape a future where technology enriches lives and drives progress.

I extend my heartfelt thanks to all our employees for their contributions to our success and express my gratitude to our Board of Directors for their continued support throughout this journey.

(3) EBIT is a non-GAAP financial measure and is equal to EBITDA minus depreciation and amortization expenses.

Revenue of the Group decreased by 0.3% year-on-year in Q224. This was mainly attributable to the decreasing demand for large-budget projects in digital business services, resulting in lower hardware revenues on a yearly basis coupled with lower consumer equipment sales.

Turkcell Türkiye revenues, comprising 87% of Group revenues, rose 1.5% year-on-year to TRY30,433 million (TRY29,969 million).

Consumer segment⁴ revenues grew 8.0% year-on-year on the back of an expanded subscriber base, increased postpaid subscriber share as well as successful upselling performance.

Corporate segment⁴ revenues decreased by 19.3% year-on-year. This segment was adversely impacted by hardware sales of digital business services, which declined 70.7% year-on-year.

Standalone digital services revenues across consumer and corporate segments grew 5% year-on-year due mainly to price adjustments despite a shrinking paid user base.

Wholesale revenues down 12.9% year-on-year to TRY1,722 million (TRY1,977 million) on the back of alternative data solutions in the market.

(4) Following the change in organizational structure, the revenues from sole proprietorship subscribers that we define as Merchant, which were previously managed under the Corporate segment, are being reported under the Consumer segment as of and from the third quarter of 2023. Within this scope, past data has been revised for comparative purposes.

Turkcell International¹revenues, comprising 3% of Group revenues, rose 2.7% to TRY890 million (TRY867 million).

Techfin segment revenues, comprising 6% of Group revenues, increased 23.5% year-on-year to TRY1,754 million (TRY1,421 million). Financell’s revenue rose 33.9%, and Paycell revenues grew 15.8% year-on-year. Please refer to the Techfin section for details.

Other subsidiaries' revenues, at 6% of Group revenues, which include mostly non-group call center and energy business revenues and consumer electronics sales revenues, decreased 33.8% year-on-year to TRY1,836 million (TRY2,772 million). This was driven primarily by low demand for consumer electronics.

Cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization) decreased to 46.7% (49.2%) as a percentage of revenues in Q224. This was mainly due to the decline in cost of goods sold (6.2pp), interconnection cost (1.0pp), and energy expenses (0.6pp) despite the rise in personnel expenses (3.1pp), funding cost (1.1pp), and other cost items (1.1pp) as a percentage of revenues.

Administrative Expenses increased to 3.4% (2.6%) as a percentage of revenues in Q224 due mainly to the rise in personnel expenses.

Selling and Marketing Expenses increased to 6.5% (4.8%) as a percentage of revenues in Q224, due mainly to the rise in personnel expenses (0.7pp) and marketing expenses (0.9pp) as a percentage of revenues.

Net impairment losses on financial and contract assets decreased to 0.7% (1.0%) as a percentage of revenues in Q224.

EBITDA² rose 0.3% year-on-year in Q224, leading to an EBITDA margin of 42.6% (42.4%).

–

Turkcell Türkiye’s EBITDA increased 6.1% year-on-year to TRY14,248 million (TRY13,434 million) with an EBITDA margin of 46.8% (44.8%).

–

Turkcell International EBITDA declined 3.2% year-on-year to TRY334 million (TRY345 million), leading to an EBITDA margin of 37.6% (39.8%).

–

Techfin segment EBITDA decreased 27.1% year-on-year to TRY466 million (TRY640 million) with an EBITDA margin of 26.6% (45.0%). The key factor behind the year-on-year decline in EBITDA margin was the rise in funding cost for Financell compared with the second quarter of 2023.

–

The EBITDA of other subsidiaries was at negative TRY162 million (TRY426 million).

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased 3.2% year-on-year in Q224.

Net finance expense of TRY1,489 million (TRY5,482 million) was recorded for Q224, including a TRY1.2 billion monetary gain and net FX losses of TRY2.0 billion.

See Appendix A for details of net foreign exchange gain and loss.

Other expenses decreased to TRY210 million (positive TRY158 million) in Q224.

Income tax expense was positive TRY155 million (TRY935 million) due mainly to deferred tax income and lower corporate tax compared to the previous year.

Profit /(loss) from discontinued operations of TRY528 million (TRY699 million) was recorded in Q224.

Net income of the Group was TRY2.9 billion (negative TRY871 million) in Q224. This resulted mainly from a strong performance at the EBITDA levels, as well as lower FX losses due to stabilized FX rates and the hedging strategy.

Total cash & debt: Consolidated cash as of June 30, 2024, decreased to TRY50,189 million compared to TRY62,341 million as of December 31, 2023. Excluding FX swap transactions, 41% of our cash is in US$, 28% in EUR, 1% in CNY, and 30% in TRY.

(1) As of December 31, 2023, our Lifecell, UkrTower, and Global LLC operations in Ukraine have been classified as a disposal group held for sale and as a discontinued operation. Therefore, this segment does not include revenues from those operations.

(2) EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See page 15 for the explanation of how we calculate adjusted EBITDA and its reconciliation to net income.

Consolidated debt as of June 30, 2024, decreased to TRY99,191 million from TRY104,882 million as of December 31, 2023. TRY3,051 million of our consolidated debt is comprised of lease obligations. Please note that 41% of our consolidated debt is in US$, 33% in EUR, 3% in CNY, and 23% in TRY.

Net debt¹ as of June 30, 2024, increased to TRY32,400 million from TRY29,691 million as of December 31, 2023, with a net debt to EBITDA ratio of 0.6x times.

Turkcell Group had a short FX position of US$123 million at the end of the quarter (Please note that this figure takes hedging portfolio and advance payments into account). The short FX position of US$123 million is in line with our FX neutral definition, which is between -US$200 million and +US$200 million.

Capital expenditures: Capital expenditures, including non-operational items, were at TRY10,690 million in Q224.

Operational capital expenditures (excluding license fees) at the Group level were at 22.5% of total revenues in Q224.

Turkcell Türkiye's subscriber base continued its expansion, reaching 43.2 million with a net addition of 346 thousand during the second quarter, largely due to additions in postpaid subscribers. Thanks to our postpaid subscriber focus and successful switch performance, we managed to record a total of 948 thousand postpaid subscriber net additions in the first half of the year.

On the mobile front, our subscriber base reached 38.5 million on 245 thousand quarterly net additions in Q224, driven mainly by 477 thousand net quarterly additions to our postpaid subscriber base. Accordingly, our postpaid subscribers reached 73.1% (69.9%) of our mobile subscriber base as of the end of Q224. Meanwhile, our prepaid subscriber base decreased by 232 thousand in Q224. Although the market was less aggressive compared to previous quarters generally, the competitors launched aggressive campaigns at the end of the second quarter. Our mobile ARPU (excluding M2M) rose by 5.3% year-over-year thanks to price adjustments, a larger postpaid base, and effective upselling performance in Q224. The average monthly mobile churn rate was at 1.5% in Q224, the lowest since 2018, driven by effective churn management supported by analytical models as well as innovative campaigns, primarily “Smart Control Service” and “30^thAnniversary Double-Up.”

In the fixed business, our subscriber base expanded to 3.2 million, with a net addition of 46 thousand during the quarter due to our focus on the fiber side, rising demand for pure fiber service, and high-speed packages. Our fiber subscriber base grew by 42 thousand in this quarter. Our residential fiber ARPU growth was 6.6% year-on-year in Q224, driven by rising 12-month contracted subscriber share, price adjustments, and efforts to encourage higher tariff plans as well as higher IPTV pricing. Meanwhile, IPTV subscribers reached 1.5 million, with 34 thousand additions in the quarter. The average monthly fixed churn rate decreased to 1.2% in Q224, marking the lowest since Q4 2006, as a result of a rationalized fixed market and our content-rich IPTV service, TV+.

(1) BeST, in which we hold a 100% stake, has operated in Belarus since July 2008.

BeST revenues increased 22.3% year-on-year in local currency terms, mainly due to rise in data and outgoing voice revenues in Q224. BeST registered an EBITDA of BYN25.0 million in the second quarter, which led to an EBITDA margin increase to 47.9%. BeST’s revenues in TRY terms decreased 0.6% year-on-year in Q224.

BeST continued to offer LTE services to all six regions, encompassing 4.3 thousand sites in Q224. Enhanced LTE coverage has enabled BeST to expand its 4G subscriber base. Accordingly, 4G users reached 84% of the 3-month active subscriber base, which continued to support mobile data consumption and digital services usage. Additionally, the average monthly data usage among 4G subscribers increased 4% year-on-year, reaching 19.8 GB in Q224.

Paycell’s revenue rose by 15.8% year-on-year for the second quarter of 2024. Pay Later and POS solutions supported topline growth thanks to an increase in transaction volume and commission fees. Accordingly, Paycell’s EBITDA increased 14.3% year-on-year, leading to an EBITDA margin of 48.4% in Q224.

Pay Later service transaction volume (non-group) increased by 34% year-on-year to TRY2.6 billion in Q224. 3-month active Pay Later users were up 10% to 6.1 million in Q224. Additionally, the Paycell card transaction volume rose 85% year-on-year to TRY6.3 billion.

(1) Following the change in the organizational structure, the revenues of Turkcell Sigorta Aracılık Hizmetleri A.Ş. (Insurance Agency), which was previously managed under Financell, have been classified from Financell to "Other" in the Techfin segment as of the first quarter of 2023.

Financell’s revenues rose by 33.9% in Q224. The main factor contributing to this growth was the higher average interest rate on the portfolio as compared to the same period of last year. EBITDA decreased 59.8%, pointing to an EBITDA margin of 14.1%. The increase in funding costs has led to a decline in the EBITDA margin on a yearly basis.

Financell’s loan portfolio was at TRY6.3 billion in Q224, with loans provided to approximately 31 thousand corporate customers. Financell’s cost of risk was at 2.2% at the end of the quarter. In this quarter, Financell began offering loans at varying rates based on customers’ individual risk profiles. It has continued to provide innovative solutions, including green loans for solar projects, car loans, and shopping loans for individual and corporate customers.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASUREMENTS: We believe Adjusted EBITDA, among other measures, facilitates performance comparisons from period to period and management decision making. It also facilitates performance comparisons from company to company. Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure eliminates potential differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting interest expense), tax positions (such as the impact of changes in effective tax rates on periods or companies) and the age and book depreciation of tangible and intangible assets (affecting relative depreciation expense and amortization expense). We also present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating the performance of other mobile operators in the telecommunications industry in Europe, many of which present Adjusted EBITDA when reporting their results.

Our Adjusted EBITDA definition includes Revenue, Cost of Revenue excluding depreciation and amortization, Selling and Marketing expenses, Administrative expenses and Net impairment losses on financial and contract assets, but excludes finance income and expense, other operating income and expense, investment activity income and expense, share of profit of equity accounted investees and minority interest.

Nevertheless, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation from, or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations, as reported under IFRS. The following table provides a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated using financial data prepared in accordance with IFRS to net profit, which we believe is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS.

RECONCILIATION OF ARPU: ARPU is an operational measurement tool and the methodology for calculating performance measures such as ARPU varies substantially among operators and is not standardized across the telecommunications industry, and reported performance measures thus vary from those that may result from the use of a single methodology. Management believes this measure is helpful in assessing the development of our services over time. The following table shows the reconciliation of Turkcell Türkiye revenues to such revenues included in the ARPU calculations for Q2 2023 and Q2 2024.

2.	Basis of preparation of financial statements (continued)

New standards and interpretations

The accounting policies and presentation are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of 1 January 2024. The effects of these standards and interpretations on the Group’s financial position and performance have been disclosed in the related paragraphs. The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

i)	The new standards, amendments and interpretations which are effective as of 1 January 2024 are as follows:

Amendments to IAS 1- Classification of Liabilities as Current and Non-Current Liabilities

In January 2020 and October 2022, IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. According to the amendments made in October 2022 if an entity’s right to defer settlement of a liability is subject to the entity complying with the required covenants at a date subsequent to the reporting period (“future covenants”), the entity has a right to defer settlement of the liability even if it does not comply with those covenants at the end of the reporting period. In addition, October 2022 amendments require an entity to provide disclosure when a liability arising from a loan agreement is classified as non-current and the entity’s right to defer settlement is contingent on compliance with future covenants within twelve months. This disclosure must include information about the covenants and the related liabilities. The amendments clarify that the requirement for the right to exist at the end of the reporting period applies to covenants which the entity is required to comply with on or before the reporting date regardless of whether the lender tests for compliance at that date or at a later date. The amendments also clarified that the classification of a liability is unaffected by the likelihood that the entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. The amendments must be applied retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8.

The amendments did not have a significant impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.

Amendments to IFRS 16 - Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback

In September 2022, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 16. The amendments specify the requirements that a seller-lessee uses in measuring the lease liability arising in a sale and leaseback transaction, to ensure the seller-lessee does not recognize any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains. In applying requirements of IFRS 16 under “Subsequent measurement of the lease liability” heading after the commencement date in a sale and leaseback transaction, the seller lessee determines ‘lease payments’ or ‘revised lease payments’ in such a way that the seller-lessee would not recognize any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use retained by the seller-lessee. The amendments do not prescribe specific measurement requirements for lease liabilities arising from a leaseback. The initial measurement of the lease liability arising from a leaseback may result in a seller-lessee determining ‘lease payments’ that are different from the general definition of lease payments in IFRS 16. The seller-lessee will need to develop and apply an accounting policy that results in information that is relevant and reliable in accordance with IAS 8. A seller-lessee applies the amendments retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8 to sale and leaseback transactions entered into after the date of initial application of IFRS 16.

The amendments did not have a significant impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.

2.	Basis of preparation of financial statements (continued)

New standards and interpretations (continued)

i)	The new standards, amendments and interpretations which are effective as of 1 January 2024 are as follows: (continued)

Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 - Disclosures: Supplier Finance Arrangements

The amendments issued in May 2023 specify disclosure requirements to enhance the current requirements, which are intended to assist users of financial statements in understanding the effects of supplier finance arrangements on an entity’s liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk. Supplier finance arrangements are characterized by one or more finance providers offering to pay amounts an entity owes its suppliers and the entity agreeing to pay according to the terms and conditions of the arrangements at the same date as, or a date later than, suppliers are paid. The amendments require an entity to provide information about terms and conditions of those arrangements, quantitative information on liabilities related to those arrangements as at the beginning and end of the reporting period and the type and effect of non-cash changes in the carrying amounts of those liabilities. In the context of quantitative liquidity risk disclosures required by IFRS 7, supplier finance arrangements are also included as an example of other factors that might be relevant to disclose. The transition rules clarify that an entity is not required to provide the disclosures in any interim periods in the year of initial application of the amendments. Thus, the amendments had no impact on the Group’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

ii)

Standards, amendments and interpretations that are issued but not yet effective:

Standards, interpretations and amendments to existing standards that are issued but not yet effective up to the date of issuance of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are as follows. The Group will make the necessary changes if not indicated otherwise, which will be affecting the consolidated financial statements and disclosures, when the new standards and interpretations become effective.

Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 - Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture

In December 2015, IASB postponed the effective date of this amendment indefinitely pending the outcome of its research project on the equity method of accounting. Early application of the amendments is still permitted.

The Group will wait until the final amendment to assess the impacts of the changes.

Amendments to IAS 21 - Lack of exchangeability

In August 2023, the Board issued amendments to IAS 21. The amendments specify how an entity should assess whether a currency is exchangeable and how it should determine a spot exchange rate when exchangeability is lacking. When an entity estimates a spot exchange rate because a currency is not exchangeable into another currency, it discloses information that enables users of its financial statements to understand how the currency not being exchangeable into the other currency affects, or is expected to affect, the entity’s financial performance, financial position and cash flows. The amendments will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025. Early adoption is permitted but will need to be disclosed. When applying the amendments, an entity cannot restate comparative information.

The Group expects no significant impact on its balance sheet and equity.

Standards, amendments and interpretations that are issued but not yet effective: (continued)

Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 – Classification and measurement of financial instruments

In May 2024, the Board issued amendments to the classification and measurement of financial instruments (amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7). The amendment clarifies that a financial liability is derecognised on the ‘settlement date’. It also introduces an accounting policy option to derecognise financial liabilities that are settled through an electronic payment system before settlement date if certain conditions are met. The amendment also clarified how to assess the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets that include environmental, social and governance (ESG)-linked features and other similar contingent features as well as the treatment of non-recourse assets and contractually linked instruments. Additional disclosures in IFRS 7 for financial assets and liabilities with contractual terms that reference a contingent event (including those that are ESG-linked), and equity instruments classified at fair value through other comprehensive income are added with the amendment. The amendment will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026. Entities can early adopt the amendments that relate to the classification of financial assets plus the related disclosures and apply the other amendments later. The new requirements will be applied retrospectively with an adjustment to opening retained earnings.

The Group is in the process of assessing the impact of the amendments on financial position or performance of the Group.

IFRS 18 – The new Standard for Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

In April 2024, IASB issued IFRS 18 which replaces IAS 1. IFRS 18 introduces new requirements on presentation within the statement of profit or loss, including specified totals and subtotals. IFRS 18 requires an entity to classify all income and expenses within its statement of profit or loss into one of five categories: operating; investing; financing; income taxes; and discontinued operations. It also requires disclosure of management-defined performance measures and includes new requirements for aggregation and disaggregation of financial information based on the identified ‘roles’ of the primary financial statements and the notes. In addition, there are consequential amendments to other accounting standards, such as IAS 7, IAS 8 and IAS 34. IFRS 18 and the related amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, but earlier application is permitted. IFRS 18 will be applied retrospectively.

The Group is in the process of assessing the impact of the amendments on financial position or performance of the Group.

IFRS 19 – Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures

In May 2024, the Board issued IFRS 19, which allows eligible entities to elect to apply reduced disclosure requirements while still applying the recognition, measurement and presentation requirements in other IFRS accounting standards. Unless otherwise specified, eligible entities that elect to apply IFRS 19 will not need to apply the disclosure requirements in other IFRS accounting standards. An entity that is a subsidiary, does not have public accountability and has a parent (either ultimate or intermediate) which prepares consolidated financial statements, available for public use, which comply with IFRS accounting standards may elect to apply IFRS 19. IFRS 19 is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027 and earlier adoption is permitted. If an eligible entity chooses to apply the standard earlier, it is required to disclose that fact. An entity is required, during the first period (annual and interim) in which it applies the standard, to align the disclosures in the comparative period with the disclosures included in the current period under IFRS 19.

The standard is not applicable for the Group.

The amendments which are effective immediately upon issuance

Amendments to IAS 12 - International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules

In May 2023, the Board issued amendments to IAS 12, which introduce a mandatory exception in IAS 12 from recognizing and disclosing deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes. The amendments clarify that IAS 12 applies to income taxes arising from tax laws enacted or substantively enacted to implement the Pillar Two Model Rules published by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The amendments also introduced targeted disclosure requirements for entities affected by the tax laws. The temporary exception from recognition and disclosure of information about deferred taxes and the requirement to disclose the application of the exception apply immediately and retrospectively upon issue of the amendments.

Based on management’s preliminary assessments, Group management does not expect significant impact on it’s consolidated financial statements due to Pillar Two amendments. However, the Company will continue to monitoring upcoming legislation changes on this matter, in Turkey and in other countries that the Group operates.

Fair value of derivative instruments and risk management

Fair value

This section explains the judgments and estimates made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are recognized and measured at fair value in the financial statements. To provide an indication of the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Group has classified its financial instruments into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standards. An explanation of each level is as follows:

· Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

· Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

· Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

	Fair Value hierarchy	Valuation Technique
a) Participating cross currency swap contracts	Level 2	Pricing models based on discounted cash present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves and end period FX rates
b) FX swap, currency, interest swap and option contracts	Level 2	Present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves and end period FX rates
c) Currency forward contracts	Level 2	Forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date
