Hepsiburada (NASDAQ: HEPS) grows Q1 2026 sales as net loss deepens
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
D-MARKET Electronic Services & Trading (Hepsiburada) reported strong top-line growth in Q1 2026 but a much wider loss under hyperinflation accounting. All figures are restated under IAS 29, reflecting Türkiye’s high inflation.
Revenue rose 22.9% to TRY 23,136.6 million, driven by 26.7% growth in first-party sales, 29.0% growth in marketplace revenue and 22.6% growth in delivery services, while other revenue declined 17.7%. Orders grew 22.1% and GMV grew 28.4%, showing continued customer and merchant engagement.
EBITDA increased to TRY 420.3 million from TRY 142.4 million, with EBITDA margin improving to 0.7% of GMV from 0.3% as payroll, loan impairment and other operating costs fell as a share of GMV, partly offset by lower gross contribution margin and higher advertising as a share of GMV.
Net loss nearly doubled to TRY 992.0 million from TRY 464.7 million, mainly due to higher financial expenses and fees linked to credit card receivable collections, as well as higher advertising, shipping and inventory costs, only partly offset by higher revenue.
Free cash flow remained negative but improved to an outflow of TRY 1,120.2 million from TRY 1,219.5 million, helped by slightly lower operating cash outflows and reduced capital spending. Cash and cash equivalents were TRY 7,925.5 million as of March 31, 2026, down from TRY 12,443.2 million at December 31, 2025, while total equity declined to TRY 1,221.6 million from TRY 2,213.6 million.

Insights
Hepsiburada is growing quickly and lifting EBITDA, but net losses and cash burn remain sizable under hyperinflationary conditions.
Hepsiburada’s Q1 2026 revenue grew 22.9% to TRY 23,136.6 million, with GMV up 28.4%. Both 1P and 3P businesses expanded strongly, and delivery revenue rose as its logistics arm served more off-platform customers. This shows the platform is still gaining scale and engagement.
Profitability at an operating level improved. EBITDA increased to TRY 420.3 million from TRY 142.4 million, and the EBITDA margin on GMV rose to 0.7% from 0.3%. Lower payroll and loan impairment ratios helped, though gross contribution margin slipped due to weaker premium, consumer finance and fulfillment revenue and higher marketing intensity.
However, the bottom line deteriorated. Net loss widened to TRY 992.0 million, largely because financial expenses and fees grew by about TRY 943.1 million amid greater use of credit card installments, alongside higher advertising and shipping costs. Free cash flow stayed negative at an outflow of TRY 1,120.2 million, though slightly better than a year earlier. Cash fell to TRY 7,925.5 million and equity to TRY 1,221.6 million, underscoring that sustained loss reduction and funding discipline remain important as the business scales under IAS 29 hyperinflation accounting.

Hepsiburada Announces First Quarter 2026 Financial Results
ISTANBUL, May 7, 2026 - D-MARKET Electronic Services & Trading (d/b/a “Hepsiburada”) (NASDAQ: HEPS), a leading Turkish e-commerce platform (referred to herein as “Hepsiburada” or the “Company”), today announces its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
Restatement of financial information: Pursuant to the International Accounting Standard 29, Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies (“IAS 29”), the financial statements of entities whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy must be adjusted for the effects of changes in a general price index. Turkish companies reporting under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), including the Company, have been required to apply IAS 29 to their financial statements for periods ended on and after June 30, 2022.
The Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2026, including figures corresponding to the same period of the prior year, reflect a restatement pursuant to IAS 29. Under IAS 29, the Company’s financial statements are presented in terms of the measuring unit current as of March 31, 2026. All the amounts included in the financial statements which are not stated in terms of the measuring unit current as of the date of the reporting period, are restated applying the general price index. Adjustment for inflation has been calculated considering the price indices published by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat). Such indices used to restate the financial statements as at March 31, 2026 are as follows:
| Date | Index | Conversion Factor | ||||||
| 31 March 2026 | 3,866.7 | 1.00 | ||||||
| 31 December 2025 | 3,513.9 | 1.10 | ||||||
| 31 March 2025 | 2,954.7 | 1.31 | ||||||
Figures unadjusted for inflation in accordance with IAS 29, denoted as “IAS 29-unadjusted”, “unadjusted for IAS 29”, “unadjusted”, “unadjusted for inflation”, or “without adjusting for inflation”, are also included under the “Highlights” sections. Figures unadjusted for IAS 29 constitute non-IFRS financial measures. We believe that their inclusion facilitates the understanding of the restated financial statements in accordance with IAS 29. Please see the “Presentation of Financial and Other Information” section of this press release for a definition of such non-IFRS measures, a discussion of the limitations on their use, and reconciliations of the non-IFRS measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures.

Commenting on the results, Nilhan Onal Gökçetekin, CEO of Hepsiburada said:
Hepsiburada continued its growth momentum in orders and customer engagement. During the first quarter of 2026, we delivered order growth of 22.1% and GMV growth of 28.4% compared to the same period last year, while our revenue recorded growth of 22.9% in the quarter.

The increase in Net Loss from TRY 464.7 million in Q1 2025 to TRY 992.0 million in Q1 2026 was primarily due to investments in growth initiatives.
We appreciate the continued support of our shareholders, the trust placed in us by our customers and partners, and the dedication demonstrated by our entire team.

1: In 1P direct sales model, we act as a principal and initially recognize revenue from the sales of goods on a gross basis at the time of delivery of the goods to our customers.
2: In the 3P marketplace model, revenues are recorded on a net basis, mainly consisting of marketplace commission and other contractual charges to the merchants.
Our revenue increased by 22.9% to TRY 23,136.6 million in Q1 2026 compared to TRY 18,827.9 million in Q1 2025. This was due to a 26.7% increase in our (1P) revenue (comprising 65.8% of total revenue), a 29.0% increase in our (3P) revenue (comprising 12.9% of total revenue), a 22.6% increase in delivery service revenue (comprising 16.2% of total revenue) and a 17.7% decrease in other revenue (comprising 5.2% of total revenue) compared to Q1 2025.
The 27.1% increase in combined 1P and 3P revenue compared to Q1 2025 was mainly due to a 28.4% increase in GMV, resulting from our growth-oriented strategy, including targeted marketing initiatives, initiatives for faster delivery and customer and merchant-focused actions.
4
The 22.6% increase in delivery service revenue compared to Q1 2025 was mainly due to an increase in delivery service revenue from the off-platform customers of Hepsijet.
The 17.7% decrease in other revenue compared to Q1 2025 was mainly due to the decrease in premium revenue, consumer finance revenue and fulfillment revenue. While a price adjustment was made to premium membership fees at the end of February 2026, the first such price increase since October 2024, its impact on other revenue remained limited during Q1 2026.

Operating expenses, net, increased by 20.6% to TRY 23,579.0 million in Q1 2026 compared to TRY 19,545.7 million in Q1 2025. The main drivers for the increase in operating expenses in Q1 2026 were a 23.4% increase in cost of inventory sold, a 30.1% increase in shipping and packaging expenses and a 42.2% increase in advertising expenses.
Cost of inventory sold rose by 23.4% while the sales of goods grew by 26.7%, resulting in 1P margin improvement compared to Q1 2025 due to inventory management efficiencies.
Shipping and packaging expenses increased by 30.1% while shipping revenue grew by 22.6%. The slower rate of increase in shipping revenue is primarily related to cargo subsidies provided to merchants, to enhance merchant economics and speed.
Advertising expenses increased by 42.2% due to increased investment to support our growth initiatives.
Net Loss for the Period
Net loss for the period was TRY 992.0 million in Q1 2026, compared to a net loss of TRY 464.7 million in Q1 2025. This negative change was mainly due to a TRY 943.1 million increase in net financial expenses and fees (net of financial income) related to fees for collection of credit card receivables due to higher numbers of credit card installments in the market, a TRY 525.2 million increase in advertising expenses and a TRY 647.0 million increase in shipping, packaging expenses due to growth initiatives and a TRY 2,776.0 million increase in cost of inventory sold, which was partially offset by a higher revenue of TRY 4,308.7 million.
6
EBITDA
EBITDA as a percentage of GMV increased by 0.4pp in Q1 2026 to 0.7%, compared to 0.3% in Q1 2025. EBITDA increased to TRY 420.3 million in Q1 2026 from TRY 142.4 million in Q1 2025. These increases were driven by a 0.8pp decrease in payroll and outsource expenses, a 0.4pp decrease in loan impairment losses and a 0.2pp decrease in other operating expenses, net, partially offset by a 0.8pp decrease in Gross Contribution Margin and a 0.3pp increase in advertising expenses, in each case as a percentage of GMV.
Free Cash Flow
Our Free Cash Flow improved by 8.1% to an outflow of TRY 1,120.2 million in Q1 2026 from an outflow of TRY 1,219.5 million in Q1 2025. The change was mainly driven by a TRY 46.2 million improvement in net cash used in operating activities and by a TRY 53.7 million decrease in tangible and intangible asset acquisitions.

Presentation of Financial and Other Information
Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures
Certain parts of this press release contain non-IFRS financial measures, which are unaudited supplementary measures and are not required by, or presented in accordance with, IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB or any other generally accepted accounting principles. Such measures are IAS 29-Unadjusted Revenue, IAS 29-Unadjusted Gross Contribution, IAS 29-Unadjusted EBITDA, EBITDA, Gross Contribution, Free Cash Flow and Net Working Capital. We define:
| · | IAS 29-Unadjusted Revenue as revenue presented on an unadjusted for inflation basis; |
| · | IAS 29-Unadjusted Gross Contribution as Gross Contribution presented on an unadjusted for inflation basis; |
| · | IAS 29-Unadjusted EBITDA as EBITDA presented on an unadjusted for inflation basis; |
| · | EBITDA as profit or loss for the period plus income tax less financial income plus financial expenses and fees plus depreciation and amortization plus monetary gains/(losses); |
| · | Gross Contribution as revenues less cost of inventory sold; |
| · | Free Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures plus proceeds from sale of property and equipment; and |
| · | Net Working Capital as current assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents and financial investments) minus current liabilities (excluding current bank borrowings and current lease liabilities). |
You should not consider them as: (a) an alternative to operating profit or net profit (net income) as determined in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB or other generally accepted accounting principles, or as measures of operating performance; (b) an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities, as determined in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB or other generally accepted accounting principles, or as a measure of our ability to meet liquidity needs; or (c) an alternative to any other measures of performance under IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB or other generally accepted accounting principles.
These measures are used by our management to monitor the underlying performance of the business and our operations. However, not all companies calculate these measures in an identical manner and, therefore, our presentation may not be comparable with similar measures used by other companies. As a result, prospective investors should not place undue reliance on this data.
11
This section includes a reconciliation of certain of these non-IFRS measures to the closest IFRS measure.
EBITDA is a supplemental non-IFRS financial measure that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB. We have included EBITDA in this press release because it is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. EBITDA eliminates certain items that have less bearing on our operating performance and thus highlights trends in our core business that may not otherwise be apparent when relying solely on IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB financial measures. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses and, from the date of applicability of IAS 29, related monetary gains/(losses), in calculating EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparability across reporting periods by removing the effect of non-cash expenses (including monetary gains/(losses)) and non-operating expense/(income). One of the objectives of IAS 29 is to account for the financial gain or loss that arises from holding monetary assets or liabilities during a reporting period (i.e. the monetary gains/ (losses)). Therefore, the monetary gains/(losses) are excluded from EBITDA for a proper comparison of the operational performance of the Company. Accordingly, we believe that EBITDA provides useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.
Management uses EBITDA:
| · | as a measurement of operating performance because it assists us in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis, as it removes the impact of non-cash and non-operating items; |
| · | for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budget and financial projections; and |
| · | to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our strategic initiatives. |
EBITDA has limitations as a financial measure, including that other companies may calculate EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for profit/(loss) for the period, as a profit measure or other analysis of our results as reported under IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB.
The following table shows the reconciliation of EBITDA to net loss for the periods presented.

Gross Contribution is a supplemental non-IFRS financial measure that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB. We have included gross contribution in this press release because it is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to evaluate our operational profitability and how efficiently the Company manages its inventory costs relative to its revenue as it reflects direct costs of products sold to our buyers. Accordingly, we believe that gross contribution provides useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.
Gross Contribution has limitations as a financial measure, including that other companies may calculate gross contribution differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for profit/(loss) for the period, as a profit measure or other analysis of our results as reported under IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB. The following table shows the reconciliation of gross contribution to revenue for the periods presented.

IAS 29-Unadjusted Revenue, IAS 29-Unadjusted Gross Contribution and IAS 29-Unadjusted EBITDA are supplemental non-IFRS financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB. We have included IAS 29-Unadjusted Revenue, IAS 29-Unadjusted Gross Contribution and IAS 29-Unadjusted EBITDA in this press release because we believe their inclusion facilitates the understanding of Revenue, Gross Contribution and EBITDA restated in accordance with IAS 29.
IAS 29-Unadjusted Revenue, IAS 29-Unadjusted Gross Contribution and IAS 29-Unadjusted EBITDA have limitations as financial measures, including that other companies may calculate IAS 29-Unadjusted Revenue, IAS 29-Unadjusted Gross Contribution and IAS 29-Unadjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces their usefulness as a comparative measure and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for revenue or profit/(loss) for the period, as revenue or profit measures or other analysis of our results as reported under IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB.

Free Cash Flow is a supplemental non-IFRS financial measure that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB. We have included Free Cash Flow in this press release because it is an important indicator of our liquidity as it measures the amount of cash we generate/(use) and provides additional perspective on whether we have sufficient cash after funding our operations and capital expenditures. Accordingly, we believe that Free Cash Flow provides useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.
Free Cash Flow has limitations as a financial measure, and you should not consider it in isolation or as substitutes for net cash used in operating activities as a measure of our liquidity or other analysis of our results as reported under IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB. There are limitations to using non-IFRS financial measures, including that other companies may calculate Free Cash Flow differently. Because of these limitations, you should consider Free Cash Flow alongside other financial performance measures, including net cash used in operating activities, capital expenditures and our other IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB results.
The following table shows the reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to net cash provided by operating activities for the periods presented.

Net Working Capital is a supplemental non-IFRS financial measure that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB.
We have included Net Working Capital in this press release because it is used to measure the short-term liquidity of a business, and can also be used to obtain a general impression of the ability of company management to utilize assets in an efficient manner. Net Working Capital is critical since it is used to keep our business operating smoothly and meet all our financial obligations in the short-term. Accordingly, we believe that Net Working Capital provides useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating how we manage our short-term liabilities.
Net Working Capital has limitations as a financial measure, and you should not consider it in isolation as a measure of our liquidity or other analysis of our results as reported under IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB. There are limitations to using non-IFRS financial measures, including that other companies calculate Net Working Capital differently. Because of these limitations, you should consider Net Working Capital alongside other financial performance measures, including current assets, current liabilities and our other IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the IASB results.
