COMMENTS BY CEO, ALİ TAHA KOÇ, PhD

 

The first quarter of 2026 marked a historic milestone in Türkiye’s digital transformation journey. At Turkcell, we proudly introduced Türkiye to 5G in Turkcell quality, backed by our 32 years of technology leadership, strong infrastructure investments, and innovative vision. With the launch of 5G, we not only advanced communication standards but also paved the way for a next-generation digital infrastructure. This infrastructure will enhance our country’s competitiveness across many sectors, from industry to healthcare and from education to transportation. With the widest frequency bandwidth, our high-capacity network architecture, strong fiber infrastructure, and data centers, we made a strong start to this new era. Following the successful completion of our 5G preparation and tender processes, we launched a large-scale advertising campaign with a world-renowned celebrity. The strong interest in our “5-fold” campaign, launched to celebrate the 5G era, within a very short period clearly demonstrated our subscribers’ excitement for the next-generation connectivity experience. It also showed that the 5G experience we offer resonates strongly across all segments of society.

 

This new era, ushered in by 5G, has brought to the forefront not only our strong technological infrastructure but also our long-term investment vision and financial flexibility. While we continue to pursue investments that will shape Türkiye’s digital future with determination, our ability to access international financing sources has been a key enabler of our strategy. The USD 1 billion Murabaha syndicated loan we secured to support investments in 5G transformation and other next-generation connectivity technologies, once again confirmed global investors’ confidence in our Company’s vision and strong financial structure. Moreover, this transaction was recorded as the largest corporate Murabaha syndicated loan ever executed by a Turkish company.

 

We completed the first quarter with strong financial results. Our consolidated revenues reached TRY 68.4 billion, increasing by 8.9% year-on-year. Digital Business Services (DBS) and Paycell continued to outperform the Group. Consolidated EBITDA¹ increased by 3.2% to reach TRY 28.3 billion, while the EBITDA margin remained healthy at 41.4%. Our net profit increased by 14.9% to TRY 4.6 billion.

 

Leadership in digital transformation: 5G-enabled solutions and new speed standards

 

We experienced a quarter in which market dynamics rationalized compared with previous quarters. Thanks to our customer-focused approach, strong infrastructure, and innovative offerings, we closed the first quarter with positive results in Mobile Number Portability (MNP). Our total mobile subscriber base also expanded with a net addition of 655 thousand subscribers. Our postpaid subscriber base, which is at the core of our sustainable value creation strategy, maintained its steady growth with a net addition of 661 thousand, reaching a postpaid subscriber share of 81%. Supported by the increase in the postpaid subscriber share and our strong performance in upselling subscribers, mobile ARPU (excluding M2M) remained resilient. This was despite limited pricing adjustments in an intensely competitive environment of the previous year and persistently high inflation.

 

With Superbox 5G, we launched the era of fiber-speed internet in regions not yet covered by our fiber infrastructure, supported by ultra-powerful Wi-Fi 7 modem capability. With this momentum, our Superbox subscriber base reached 754 thousand, with a net addition of 38 thousand. In addition, with our portable “Superbox GO” modem, we began offering our customers a truly location and cable independent, flexible 5G connectivity experience.

 

By declaring 2026 as the “Year of Speed”, we also redefined the rules of the game on the fixed side. With our Superonline UltraFiber packages, supported by Wi-Fi 7 technology for the first time in Türkiye, we became the first and only operator to offer home internet speeds of up to 10 Gbps to our subscribers. In the first quarter of the year, we achieved a total of 36 thousand net fiber subscriber additions, including our resell portfolio, of which 21 thousand came from Turkcell fiber. In line with our fiber-focused profitable growth strategy, our DSL and cable subscriber base continued to decline. Supported by sustained demand for high-speed packages and our strong focus, the share of our fiber subscribers with speeds of 1,000 Mbps and above increased to approximately 20% of our total residential fiber subscribers. Driven by our strategy of migrating subscribers to higher-tier packages, pricing adjustments, and the contribution of our IPTV service, residential fiber ARPU grew by 9.7% year-on-year.

 

With our continued fixed infrastructure investments in the first quarter, we expanded our Turkcell fiber footprint by an additional 138 thousand homepasses, bringing the total to 6.5 million. Our take-up rate reached 41.8%.

Consistent growth in our strategic focus areas

 

Paycell, which is the main growth engine of our Techfin business, continued to grow above the Group average despite a high base effect. Paycell revenues increased by 15%, driven by strong momentum in the POS and mobile payment segments. On the other hand, Financell’s revenues declined as ongoing installment limitations constrained growth in new loan volumes. However, its Net Interest Margin (NIM) expanded significantly to 8.3%, up by 3.6 points compared with the same period last year. Total revenue growth in the Techfin segment was at 4%.

 

DBS made a very strong start to 2026. Rising hardware revenues, supported by increasing corporate projects, together with the 21% growth in our data center and cloud business, drove a 64% year-on-year increase in DBS revenues.

 

Sustainability vision reinforced by international achievements

 

By positioning sustainability among our strategic priorities, we carefully consider the environmental and social impact of all our business processes. We move forward with the goal of reducing our environmental footprint and increasing efficiency through our investments in this area. In line with our sustainability targets, we are increasing our capacity by investing in our own solar power plants, while also evaluating inorganic growth opportunities through strategic acquisitions. We completed the acquisition of a 12.1 MW solar power plant in Mersin in April. Following this acquisition, our total active solar energy capacity reached 74.4 MW.

 

Another development that boosted our motivation in our sustainability efforts was the global recognition of our environmental performance, as reflected in the “Global A” score we received under the CDP Climate Change Program.

 

This quarter, we also published our 2025 sustainability report in compliance with TSRS. Within the scope of the report, we addressed climate-related risks and opportunities in a holistic manner. We also expanded the scope of our environmental performance by reporting our water footprint for the first time this year. We believe that these efforts have reinforced our alignment with national regulations and global climate targets, while also strengthening our engagement with our stakeholders.

 

Turkcell’s signature on global platforms

 

We successfully represent our country and our sector on international platforms. At the Mobile World Congress (MWC 2026), the model we developed with industry stakeholders to block international fraudulent calls, which has prevented millions of fraud attempts on our network to date was selected by the GSMA as a best practice. In line with our vision of driving innovation in the sector, we also entered into strategic partnerships to carry out R&D activities on 6G and next-generation network technologies at MWC 2026.

 

As Türkiye’s Turkcell, I sincerely thank my dedicated colleagues who contribute to every step we take with the motivation to move our country forward, as well as our Board of Directors, shareholders, and business partners for their support.

Revenue of the Group grew by 8.9% year-on-year, reaching TRY68,377 million (TRY62,767 million) in Q126. This growth was primarily driven by the robust performance of Turkcell Türkiye, mainly attributable to corporate revenues.

 

In the first quarter, Turkcell Türkiye revenues, representing 90% of Group top-line, increased by 8.6% to TRY61,877 million (TRY56,957 million).

 

- Corporate revenues recorded solid growth of 34%, largely driven by Digital Business Services, which delivered 64% revenue growth thanks to higher hardware revenues through successful execution of large-scale projects. Data Center & Cloud revenues also posted a remarkable 21.0% year-on-year growth.

 

- Consumer segment recorded a more moderate growth of 2.6%. This performance was underpinned by the expansion of our postpaid subscriber base and strong fixed ARPU performance. Conversely, mobile ARPU (excluding M2M) remained broadly flat this quarter, reflecting the continued impact of last year’s intense competitive pricing environment and persistently high inflation.

 

- Wholesale revenues recorded a growth of 7.9% to TRY2,535 million (TRY2,350 million).

 

Techfin segment revenues, accounting for 5% of Group revenues, grew by 4.0% to TRY3,740 million (TRY3,594 million). The driver of this growth was Paycell business. Please refer to the Techfin section for details.

 

Other segment revenues, comprising 4% of Group revenues, which mostly includes Turkcell International revenues, energy business revenues and non-group call center revenues, rose 24.6% to TRY2,760 million (TRY2,215 million).

Cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization) increased to 47.1% (45.0%) as a percentage of revenues for the first quarter of 2026. This was driven mainly by the increase in cost of goods sold (3.7)pp, radio expenses (0.4)pp, personnel expenses (0.3)pp, and other cost items (0.2)pp, despite the decline in funding costs (0.8)pp, energy costs (0.7)pp, treasury share (0.7)pp and interconnection costs (0.4)pp as a percentage of revenues.

 

Administrative expenses increased slightly to 4.4% (4.2%) as a percentage of revenues this quarter, primarily driven by personnel expenses.

 

Selling and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue remained broadly stable at 6.6% (6.7%), despite higher 5G-related marketing expense. The increase in marketing expenses was offset by the slower growth in personnel expenses relative to top-line expansion.

 

Net impairment losses on financial and contract assets were at 0.5% (0.4%) as a percentage of revenues in Q126.

 

EBITDA1 increased by 3.2% year-on-year in Q126 leading to an EBITDA margin of 41.4% (43.7%).

 

- Turkcell Türkiye EBITDA was up by 1.3% to TRY26,282 million (TRY25,957 million), resulting in an EBITDA margin of 42.5% (45.6%).

 

- Techfin segment EBITDA increased by 30.3% to TRY1,223 million (TRY938 million), representing a 6.6pp robust expansion in EBITDA margin to 32.7% (26.1%). This favorable margin performance was primarily attributable to Financell’s improved funding costs through FX loan utilization. However, the strong momentum of the Paycell POS business limited the overall Techfin margin expansion.

 

- The EBITDA of Other was at TRY795 million (TRY533 million).

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by 7.1%, amounting to TRY17,861 million (TRY16,680 million).

 

Net finance income reached TRY1,569 million (TRY469 million cost) in Q126. This strong improvement was attributable to higher monetary gains arising from the capitalization of 5G license. Excluding monetary gains, net finance costs rose due to a higher net short FX position led by increased foreign currency liabilities linked to 5G.

 

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

 

Net Other expenses were at TRY427 million (TRY588 million) in Q126.

 

Income tax expense increased to TRY7,252 million (TRY4,528 million). Please recall that inflation accounting was discontinued in the 2025 statutory financial statements, and its impact became visible in our financials starting from Q4 2025. This continued to be the main driver of the higher income tax expense in Q1 2026. In addition, only limited fixed asset revaluation was performed during the period, which provided a limited offset against the adverse tax impact. This increase in the tax expense during the quarter was primarily attributable to deferred tax expense, while the impact of cash tax payments remained limited.

 

Net income of the Group increased by 14.9% to TRY4,634 million (TRY4,033 million) in Q126. This improvement resulted from substantial monetary gain registered in the first quarter along with improved contribution from TOGG. Profit before income tax grew by 38.8% year on year to TRY11,887 million (TRY8,561 million), driven by strong operational performance and diciplined balance sheet management.

Total cash & debt: Consolidated cash as of March 31, 2026 decreased to TRY95,773 million from TRY101,048 million as of December 31, 2025. This decline was primarily attributable to the first installment of the 5G license payment, including VAT, totaling USD653 million, together with the TRY3.2 billion Wireless Usage Fee, which is paid in the first quarter of each year, as well as bonus payments to employees. 57% of our cash is in USD, 20% in EUR, and 23% in TRY. Excluding FX swap transactions, 71% of our cash is in USD and 29% in EUR. Alongside these sizeable cash outflows, we reinforced our liquidity position through a USD 1 billion Murabaha syndicated loan, further strengthening our financial flexibility and balance sheet resilience. Accordingly, consolidated debt as of March 31, 2026, increased to TRY206,347 million from TRY174,578 million as of December 31, 2025. Note that TRY16,230 million of our consolidated debt comprises lease obligations. After hedging transactions, 64% of our consolidated debt is in USD, 24% in EUR, 5% in CNY, and 7% in TRY. Due to cash disbursements, as of March 31, 2026, net debt1 increased to TRY48,827 million from TRY16,383 million as of December 31, 2025, with a net debt to EBITDA ratio of 0.42x.

 

We continued to manage the Group’s net FX position proactively, taking into account prevailing hedging costs and the relatively stable FX environment. Accordingly, we maintained our medium-term net FX target range of between minus USD1.5 billion and plus USD1.5 billion. As of quarter-end, the Group’s short net FX position stood at USD1.2 billion, including the hedging portfolio and advance payments.

 

Capital expenditures, including non-operational items, increased to TRY76,583 million in Q126, mainly driven by the 5G license amounting to USD1.2 billion (excluding VAT). Operational capital expenditures (excluding license fees) at the Group level were at 21.5% of total revenues.

Our total subscriber base expanded by 642 thousand in Q126, reaching 44.5 million thanks to segment-based offers that provide customers with tailored alternatives. In the postpaid segment, net additions reached 661 thousand, leading to our strongest total mobile net additions over the past 14 quarters. This brought the share of postpaid subscribers in the total mobile base to 81%, exceeding 32 million. We observed an improvement in mobile churn, which declined by 1.1pp compared with Q425 and by 0.1pp versus Q125, thanks to effective churn management and a relatively rationalized market environment. In the prepaid segment, we saw a notable moderation in net subscriber losses this quarter unlike in previous quarters, supported by our customer-centric tariffs and fewer tourist-related disconnections.

 

Mobile ARPU (excluding M2M) remained broadly flat, declining by 0.4% year-on-year, mainly due to the lagged impact of last year’s record-high competitive environment and persistently elevated inflation.

 

On the fixed side, our subscriber base declined slightly in Q1 2026, recording a net loss of 4 thousand, mainly due to our reduced focus on the ADSL segment. In the fiber segment, we maintained strong momentum in Turkcell fiber, achieving 21 thousand net additions in the quarter and 111 thousand on a yearly basis, supported by continued demand for high-speed connectivity. Residential fiber ARPU increased by 9.7% year-on-year, mainly driven by active upselling and pricing actions, and the growing contribution of our IPTV offering. As part of our “Technology Leadership in Türkiye” strategy, we launched our “UltraFiber” packages in March, offering ultra-high-speed connectivity to households for the first time in Türkiye with download speeds of 2, 5, and 10 Gbps.

 

In line with our fiber-focused strategy, we continued expanding our infrastructure footprint by adding 138 thousand new homepasses, reaching a total of 6.5 million, with the take-up rate at 41.8%.

EBITDA Margin (%)     39.2 %     31.8 %     (7.4 )pp
Net Income     243.4       252.0       3.5 %

 

Paycell continued its steady growth trajectory as the primary performance contributor in the techfin segment, recording a 15.3% year-on-year increase in revenues. POS solutions and mobile payments were the main drivers of this performance in this quarter. Among all business lines, POS solutions delivered the strongest growth, as revenues grew by 37% year-on-year. This robust revenue performance was supported by broadening transaction volumes, particularly in physical POS, which recorded 150.4% year-over-year volume expansion. Furthermore, non-group revenues continued to gain prominence, with their share of total revenues increasing to 83%, mainly driven by rising number of users. As the POS business accounted for a larger share of the revenue mix, EBITDA margin declined by 7.4 percentage points to 31.8%.

 

Total transaction volume reached TRY55.5 billion, marking a 46.4% year-on-year increase. In addition to strong POS performance, Pay Later and QR Code contributed to the volume growth during the quarter. Pay Later strategic Services active users1 reached 3.3 million as of Q126.

EBITDA Margin (%)     15.9 %     39.1 %     23.2 pp
Net Income/(Loss)     (13.2 )     149.5       n.m  

 

Financell’s revenues contracted on a yearly basis due to ongoing installment limitations. The EBITDA margin improved to 39.1%, driven by lower funding costs while net income reached TRY149.5 million in this quarter.

 

Financell maintained its leadership position in financing sector holding a 44% market share2 by number loans. The company also captured a 9.9% market share in loans below TRY20,000 in banking and financing sector combined.

 

Financell’s loan portfolio reached TRY8.4 billion as of Q126, with 0.6 million active customers. There is significant market potential for Financell should regulatory conditions evolve favorably in line with macroeconomic dynamics, including potential increases in loan limits, which could in turn support Financell’s revenue growth.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASUREMENTS:

 

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, among other key metrics, facilitates performance comparisons from period to period and management decision making. It also enables performance comparisons between companies. 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 metric 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 metric 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 Q125 and Q126.

 

Reconciliation of ARPU   Q125     Q126  
Turkcell Türkiye Revenue (million TRY)     56,957.1       61,877.2  
Telecommunication services revenue     52,196.1       54,009.7

Mobile blended ARPU (TRY)     371.6       363.2  
Average number of mobile subscribers during the year (million)     38.2       39.4  
Fixed residential ARPU (TRY)     486.5       545.9  
Average number of fixed residential subscribers during the year (million)     3.0       3.1  

 

(1) Revenue from fixed corporate and wholesale business; digital business sales; tower business, and other non-subscriber-based revenues

(2) Revenues from Turkcell Türkiye included in ARPU calculation comprise telecommunication services revenue, equipment revenue and revenues which are not attributed to ARPU calculation.

(All amounts disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest thousand currency units and are expressed in terms of purchasing power of Turkish Lira as of 31 March 2026 unless otherwise stated.)

 

2. Basis of preparation of financial statements

 

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended 31 March 2026 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

 

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2025.

 

The accounting policies and presentation are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period.

 

The financial statements of the Company and those of the subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures located in Türkiye and Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus for the period ended 31 March 2026 were restated for the changes in the general purchasing power of Turkish Lira, which is their functional currency, based on International Accounting Standard No. 29 (“IAS 29”) “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies”. IAS 29 requires that financial statements prepared in the currency of a hyperinflationary economy be stated in terms of the measuring unit current at the balance sheet date and that corresponding figures for previous periods be restated in the same terms.

 

The table below shows the evolution of CPI in the last three years and as of 31 March 2026:

 

Date   Index     Coversion
factor
    Cumulative
inflation
 
31 March 2026     121.47       1.00000       205 %
31 December 2025     110.39       1.10040       211 %
31 March 2025     92.82       1.30865       250 %

 

New standards and interpretations

 

The accounting policies adopted in preparation of the consolidated financial statements as of 31 March 2026 are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except for the adoption of new and amended IFRS and IFRIC interpretations effective as of 1 January 2026 and thereafter. The effects of these standards and interpretations on the Group’s financial position and performance have been disclosed in the related paragraphs.

 

a) Standards, amendments, and interpretations applicable as of 31 March 2026:

 

Amendment to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 - Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments; effective from annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026 (earlier application permitted). These amendments:

 

· clarify the requirements for the timing of recognition and derecognition of some financial assets and liabilities, with a new exception for some financial liabilities settled through an electronic cash transfer system;

 

· clarify and add further guidance for assessing whether a financial asset meets the solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) criterion;

 

· add new disclosures for certain instruments with contractual terms that can change cash flows (such as some instruments with features linked to the achievement of environment, social and governance (ESG) targets); and

 

· make updates to the disclosures for equity instruments designated at Fair Value through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI).

 

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

TURKCELL İLETİŞİM HİZMETLERİ A.Ş.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS INTERIM PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2026

(All amounts disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest thousand currency units and are expressed in terms of purchasing power of Turkish Lira as of 31 March 2026 unless otherwise stated.)

 

2. Basis of preparation of financial statements (continued)

 

a) Standards, amendments, and interpretations applicable as of 31 March 2026: (continued)

 

Annual improvements to IFRS – Volume 11; effective from annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026 (earlier application permitted). Annual improvements are limited to changes that either clarify the wording in an Accounting Standard or correct relatively minor unintended consequences, oversights or conflicts between the requirements in the Accounting Standards. The 2024 list of amended Accounting Standard and accompanying guidance include the following:

 

· IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards;

 

· IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures and its accompanying Guidance on implementing IFRS 7;

 

· IFRS 9 Financial Instruments;

 

· IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements; and

 

· IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows.

 

The amendments have no significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Amendment to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 - Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity; effective from annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026 (earlier application permitted). These amendments change the 'own use' and hedge accounting requirements of IFRS 9 and include targeted disclosure requirements to IFRS 7. These amendments apply only to contracts that expose an entity to variability in the underlying amount of electricity because the source of its generation depends on uncontrollable natural conditions (such as the weather). These are described as ‘contracts referencing nature-dependent electricity’.

 

The Group has no significant impact on its balance sheet and equity

 

b) Standards, amendments, and interpretations that are issued but not effective as of 31 March 2026:

 

Amendments to IAS 21 - Translation to a Hyperinflationary Presentation Currency; effective from annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027 (earlier application permitted). These narrow-scope amendments specify the translation procedures for an entity whose presentation currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy. The entity applies the amendments if:

 

· its functional currency is that of a non-hyperinflationary economy and it is translating its results and financial position into the currency of a hyperinflationary economy; or

 

· it is translating into the currency of a hyperinflationary economy the results and financial position of a foreign operation whose functional currency is that of a non-hyperinflationary economy.

 

The amendments aim to improve the usefulness of the resulting information in a cost-effective manner and reduce diversity in practice.

 

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

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS INTERIM PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2026

(All amounts disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest thousand currency units and are expressed in terms of purchasing power of Turkish Lira as of 31 March 2026 unless otherwise stated.)

 

2. Basis of preparation of financial statements (continued)

 

b) Standards, amendments, and interpretations that are issued but not effective as of 31 March 2026: (continued)

 

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements; effective from annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027 (earlier application permitted). This is the new standard on presentation and disclosure in financial statements, with a focus on updates to the statement of profit or loss. The key new concepts introduced in IFRS 18 relate to:

 

· the structure of the statement of profit or loss;

 

· required disclosures in the financial statements for certain profit or loss performance measures that are reported outside an entity’s financial statements (that is, management-defined performance measures); and

 

· enhanced principles on aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and notes in general.

 

To comply with paragraph 30 of IAS 8, it is expected that March year-end disclosures should about:

 

· the nature of the changes,

 

· the fact that IFRS 18 application is required for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027,

 

· the planned adoption date, and

 

· either:

 

o known or reasonably estimable information relevant to assessing the possible impact that application of IFRS 18 will have on the entity's financial statements in the period of initial application; or

 

o if that impact is not known or reasonably estimable, a statement to that effect.

 

When preparing disclosures related to the adoption of IFRS 18 to comply with paragraph 30 of IAS 8, entities should consider the following principles:

 

a.    Disclosures are expected to become increasingly detailed as entities’ implementation process progresses toward 2027.

 

The level of detail that an entity includes in its disclosures will depend on the progress of its implementation activities, including those related to internal controls. For the year ending 31 March 2026, entities that have yet to make significant progress in implementation might only disclose that they are actively assessing the impact of IFRS 18 and that more comprehensive disclosures cannot reasonably be provided.

 

b. Where appropriate and reliable, consider including quantitative information.

 

It may be appropriate to disclose preliminary figures, when the company has an appropriate and reliable basis for making such disclosures and provides clear explanations regarding their provisional nature. For example, an entity might quantify the effects on profit and loss subtotals. If the quantitative impact is not reasonably estimable, a statement to that effect should be included. An entity may disclose known and reasonably quantifiable impacts, but it is not expected to early provide IFRS 18 disclosures, such as an MPM reconciliation, before the application date.

2. Basis of preparation of financial statements (continued)

 

b) Standards, amendments, and interpretations that are issued but not effective as of 31 March 2026: (continued)

 

c. Consider alignment with other public communications.

 

If management has publicly detailed anticipated impacts, such as in an investor presentation, the IAS 8 financial statement disclosures should be consistent with these communications.

 

Disclosures should be based on the information available through the date of issuance of the financial statements, not only the end of the reporting period.

 

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’; effective from annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027 (earlier application permitted). This new standard and amendments works alongside other IFRS Accounting Standards. An eligible subsidiary applies the requirements in other IFRS Accounting Standards except for the disclosure requirements and instead applies the reduced disclosure requirements in IFRS 19. IFRS 19’s reduced disclosure requirements balance the information needs of the users of eligible subsidiaries’ financial statements with cost savings for preparers. IFRS 19 is a voluntary standard for eligible subsidiaries. A subsidiary is eligible if:

 

· it does not have public accountability; and

 

· it has an ultimate or intermediate parent that produces consolidated financial statements available for public use that comply with IFRS Accounting Standards.

 

The standard is not applicable for the Group.

 

Amendment to IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures’; effective from annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027 (earlier application permitted). In developing the reduced disclosure requirements in IFRS 19, the IASB considered the disclosure requirements in other IFRS Accounting Standards as at 28 February 2021. When IFRS 19 was issued, it did not contain reduced versions of any disclosure requirements that were added or amended after that date. Subsequently, the IASB issued these amendments to help eligible subsidiaries by reducing disclosure requirements for Standards and amendments issued between February 2021 and May 2024, specifically:

 

· IFRS 18, ‘Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements’;

 

· Supplier Finance Arrangements (Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7);

 

· International Tax Reform—Pillar Two Model Rules (Amendments to IAS 12);

 

· Lack of Exchangeability (Amendments to IAS 21); and

 

· Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7).

 

The standard is not applicable for the Group.

 

Comparative information and revision of prior period financial information

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Group are prepared comparatively with the previous period in order to enable comparability of the financial position and performance trends. In order to comply with the presentation of the current period consolidated financial statements, comparative information is reclassified when deemed necessary and significant differences are disclosed. Significant changes in accounting policies and significant accounting errors are applied retrospectively and prior period financial statements are restated.

3 Segment information

 

As part of its strategy to offer integrated communication and technology services and to ensure economic integrity, the Group has divided its main operating segments into two groups: “Turkcell Türkiye” and “Techfin.” Although some of these strategic segments provide similar services, they are affected by different economic conditions and geographical locations. Therefore, they are regularly reviewed by the authority responsible for making decisions regarding the Group’s operations, based on resource allocation and performance. The authority responsible for making decisions related to the Group's operations is the Board of Directors. However, the Board of Directors may delegate its powers excluding the non-delegable powers stipulated by law to the CEO and other executives.

 

Turkcell Türkiye reportable segment includes the Groups’s mobile, fixed telecommunications, digital services and digital business services operations of Turkcell, Superonline Iletisim Hizmetleri A.S.

(“Turkcell Dijital Sigorta”). The operations of these legal entities aggregated into one reportable segment as the nature of services are similar and most of them share smilar economic characteristics.

 

Other operating segment comprises telecommunications, digital services, and energy-related activities outside Türkiye. This segment included CJSC Belarusian Telecommunications Network (“BeST”), Kıbrıs Mobile Telekomunikasyon Limited Sirketi (“Kıbrıs Telekom”), East Asian Consortium B.V.

The Board primarily uses adjusted EBITDA to assess the performance of the operating segments. Adjusted EBITDA definition includes revenue, cost of revenue excluding depreciation and amortization, selling and marketing expenses and administrative expenses.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure defined by IFRS as a measurement of financial performance and may not be comparable to other similarly titled indicators used by other companies. Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the consolidated profit for the year is included in the accompanying notes.

Sensitivity analysis

 

The basis for the sensitivity analysis to measure foreign exchange risk is an aggregate corporate-level currency exposure. The aggregate foreign exchange exposure is composed of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies; the analysis excludes net foreign currency investments.

 

A 10% strengthening/weakening of the TRY, BYN, EUR against the following currencies as at 31 March 2026 would have increased/(decreased) profit or loss before by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant.

16. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Disputes Between the Group and BTK

 

As a result of investigations and reviews conducted by Information and Communication Technologies Authority (BTK) regarding the Group, there were no administrative fines imposed in the first quarter of 2026. The provision amounting to TRY 480,945 set aside in prior periods continued to be carried in the condensed consolidated finansal statements for those ongoing reviews where the likelihood and significance of a potential penalty are considered high.

 

In addition, the Group has filed various lawsuits against BTK. These lawsuits generally relate to the annulment of administrative fines imposed by BTK following its investigations and reviews concerning the Group.

 

General Assessment of Ongoing Lawsuits and Investigations

 

The Company’s Management has evaluated the likelihood of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits in relation to various lawsuits, investigations, audits, and ongoing reviews. As of March 31, 2026, a provision of TRY 421,017 has been recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The provision allocated for ongoing investigations, reviews, lawsuits, and audits represents Management’s best estimate, and actual future outcomes may differ from the Group’s current assessments.
