Key Terms

adjusted ebitda financial

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

accretive financial

"Accretive" describes a situation where a financial action, such as a purchase or investment, increases the value or earnings of a company. For investors, it signals that the move is likely to boost profitability and overall worth, much like adding a beneficial ingredient to a recipe that enhances the final taste.

Expands Marti’s Ride-Hailing Service Availability from 20 to 30 Cities, Representing Approximately 85% of Türkiye’s GDP

ISTANBUL--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Marti Technologies, Inc. (“Marti” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: MRT), Türkiye’s leading mobility super app, today announced the launch of its ride-hailing service in 10 additional cities across Türkiye, expanding Marti’s ride-hailing footprint to 30 cities and approximately 85% of Türkiye’s GDP.

Marti is expanding its ride-hailing service in response to demand, supply, and growth rates in cities outside Türkiye’s largest city, Istanbul, exceeding expectations. The share of Marti’s ride-hailing riders located outside of Istanbul reached 45% as of August 11, 2026, up from 35% as of August 11, 2025. Over the same period, the share of Marti’s registered drivers based outside of Istanbul grew from 25% to 36%.

“The pace and breadth of our growth outside Istanbul has been particularly encouraging,” said Oguz Alper Oktem, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Marti. “The strong demand and rapid adoption we are driving across our markets are reinforcing our confidence in the opportunity to build Türkiye’s largest and most comprehensive ride-hailing network. With this expansion, Marti now reaches 30 cities across Türkiye, representing approximately 85% of the country’s GDP, and significantly increasing the scale and reach of our platform.”

Marti’s newest wave of service launches includes Balıkesir, Çanakkale, Edirne, Erzurum, Hatay, Kahramanmaraş, Sivas, Şanlıurfa, Trabzon, and Van. These markets were selected based on demonstrated ride-hailing demand and limited availability of substitute transportation options.

Marti first entered the ride-hailing market in 2022. Following this latest expansion, Marti’s services will now reach approximately 85% of Türkiye’s GDP, up from approximately 80% previously. The expanded footprint represents another significant step toward Marti’s long-term objective of building a nationwide ride-hailing network.

Marti reaffirms its previously announced fiscal year 2026 financial guidance of $85 million in revenue and $7 million in Adjusted EBITDA. The Company expects the new city launches to be accretive to its financial performance starting in 2027.
