THIRD QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS
| · | Turkcell strengthened its leadership in the mobile sector and reaffirmed its ambition in next-generation connectivity technologies by securing 160 MHz of spectrum—the maximum capacity allowed for a single operator—for USD 1.2 billion (exc. VAT) in the 5G tender held on October 16, 2025. With this acquisition, Turkcell now holds 394.4 MHz out of Türkiye’s total 949.2 MHz frequency resources, representing approximately 42% of the available spectrum. As in 4.5G, Turkcell has achieved the widest frequency portfolio in 5G, positioning itself as the operator technically capable of delivering the country’s highest 5G speeds and capacity. Through this tender, Turkcell also extended the validity of its 2G, 3G, and 4.5G authorizations until December 31, 2042, with payments of 5% of gross mobile service revenues (exc. VAT) to the ICTA each year starting from April 30, 2029. |
| · | Strong set of financials; |
| o | Group revenues increased by 11.2% year-on-year, driven by robust ARPU growth in Turkcell Türkiye and a notable 20.0% rise in the Techfin segment, which continued to contribute positively to overall performance. The expansion of the subscriber base and price adjustments were key drivers of Türkiye’s strong results, further supported by the Data Center & Cloud business—a key pillar of our strategy—which delivered 50.6% year-on-year growth. |
| o | EBITDA1 rose by 10.5%, leading to an EBITDA margin of 43.9%; EBIT2 was up by 18.6%, resulting in an EBIT margin of 17.4%. |
| o | Profit from continuing operations increased by 31.8% to TRY 5.4 billion, supported by solid operational performance and lower effective tax rate. The decline in net income was driven by a high base in Q324, which included the one-off gain from the sale of our operations in Ukraine. |
| o | Net leverage3 level at 0.20x; Net short FX position of US$9 million |
| · | Robust ARPU growth in both mobile and fixed segments thanks to targeted price optimization supported by micro-segment subscriber portfolio management |
| o | 569 thousand mobile postpaid net additions, bringing the postpaid subscriber base share to 79% |
| o | 33 thousand Turkcell Fiber and 55 thousand total fiber net additions, including resell operations |
| o | Steady ARPU expansion amid a competitive market; Mobile ARPU4 growth of 11.9%, residential fiber ARPU growth of 17.3% |
| o | 107 thousand new fiber homepasses this quarter; 6.2 million in total |
| · | Following our strong performance in the first nine months of the year, we revised our 2025 guidance5 upwards. We project revenue growth of around 10% and an EBITDA margin of between 42%-43%. Thanks to solid revenue outlook, we are also able to lower our operational CAPEX to Sales6 ratio guidance to around 23%. Meanwhile, the revenue guidance for the Data Center & Cloud segment was upgraded to around 43%. |

COMMENTS BY CEO, ALİ TAHA KOÇ, PhD
We take great pride in our strong financial and operational performance in the third quarter, accompanied by our success in the 5G authorization tender; a milestone for our country’s digital future. At the tender held on October 16, we secured a total of 160 MHz, the maximum capacity available to a single operator, once again reaffirming our technical superiority and industry leadership.
4.5G was an important step in Türkiye’s technological transformation, enabling us to provide our customers with world-class speed and communication quality. Building on this, 5G, set to launch in 2026, with its ultra-high speed and low latency, will represent the next stage in the digital transformation of industries such as manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, and education. With the emergence of smart cities, the Internet of Things, and autonomous vehicles, technology will evolve into an entirely new dimension. With over 30 years of experience, an extensive base station network across Türkiye, and a rapidly increasing base station fiberization rate, Turkcell is not only ready for 5G but also determined to lead this transformation. By combining the 700 MHz and 3.5 GHz bands acquired in the tender, we will deliver wide coverage, high speed, and large capacity simultaneously. Offering mobile speeds of 1,000 Mbps and above, our fixed-wireless access (FWA) Superbox solution will provide customers with a fiber-like fixed internet experience - even in areas without fiber infrastructure. As in the eras of 2G, 3G, and 4.5G, we will remain the strongest, most reliable, and most preferred operator in this new era.
Throughout a quarter shaped by an intense 5G agenda, our financial and operational performance maintained its strong momentum. In addition to the solid performance of our core business, consolidated revenues increased by 11.2% year-on-year to 59.5 billion TL, supported by robust growth in strategic focus areas such as techfin and data centers. Backed by disciplined cost management accompanying strong revenue growth, our EBITDA1 rose 10.5% year-on-year to 26.2 billion TL, with an EBITDA margin of 43.9%, maintaining strong operational profitability in the third quarter. Net income stood at 5.4 billion TL.
Double-digit ARPU growth in both mobile and fixed broadband services
During a quarter marked by intense market competition, which was in line with our expectations, we continued to expand our customer base. In the third quarter, we recorded 569 thousand net postpaid additions, bringing total net additions over the past 12 months to more than 2 million. As a result, our mobile subscriber base exceeded 39 million. The share of postpaid subscribers — a key strategic focus area due to its high revenue contribution — increased by 4.6 percentage points year-on-year, reaching 79%. Leveraging our AI-driven micro-segmentation approach, we continued to upsell through tailored offers. Driven by postpaid subscriber base growth and segment-based price adjustments, Mobile Blended ARPU (excluding M2M) grew 11.9% year-on-year. Due to heightened activity in the Mobile Number Portability market amid intense competition, our mobile churn rate stood at 2.6%.
In the fixed segment, we maintained our focus on fiber. We recorded 33 thousand net fiber additions on our own infrastructure, reaching more customers with Turkcell’s superior fiber quality. Including sales over other ISPs’ infrastructure, we added a total of 55 thousand fiber subscribers. With accelerated fixed broadband infrastructure investments during the quarter, we provided fiber access to an additional 107 thousand new households, bringing total end-to-end coverage to 6.2 million households. Our 42.6% take-up rate underscores that our fiber investments are well planned and effectively executed. Residential fiber ARPU grew 17.3% year-on-year, driven by successful pricing adjustments, a growing share of customers on 100 Mbps+ plans to 52%, and an 88% ratio of 12-month contracts.
Our strategic focus areas continue to support growth
Our Techfin segment, accounting for 6% of consolidated revenues, achieved 20.0% year-on-year growth in the third quarter, outpacing the Group’s overall performance. Our digital payment brand Paycell delivered outstanding revenue growth of 41.7%, primarily driven by POS and mobile payment services. This growth was further supported by initiatives enhancing user experience - such as enabling payments via all bank cards through the national QR payment system, facilitating two-way international money transfers, and expanding contactless payment capabilities. The Central Bank’s increase in mobile payment limits also significantly boosted Paycell’s transaction volumes and revenues. Our Financell brand, which provides fast and flexible financing solutions - ranging from technological devices to vehicle loans, continued to expand its loan portfolio, reaching 7.5 billion TL despite a high-interest-rate environment. The net interest margin expanded by 0.9 percentage points year-on-year to 5.0%.

We achieved strong progress in the third quarter across strategic investment areas, including data center and cloud businesses, as well as solar energy investments. Guided by our long-standing vision that “Türkiye’s data should stay in Türkiye”, as the market leader² in this field today, our data center and cloud business continued to strengthen. During the quarter, the active capacity of our next-generation data centers grew by 8.4 MW, reaching a total of 50 MW. Total data center and cloud revenues increased 51% year-on-year in real terms.
Aligned with our commitment to sustainability and efficiency, the total capacity of our solar power plants operating in Uşak, Van, Balıkesir, and Yozgat reached 37.5 MW as of the third quarter. We believe these strategically important investments create long-term value not only for Turkcell but also for the future of our country. We view them as investments in Türkiye’s sustainable future.
We are revising our expectations upward
Despite the challenging geopolitical and macroeconomic environment globally, we outperformed expectations during the first nine months of the year. In light of these strong results, we are revising our outlook3 for 2025 upward. We now expect revenue growth of around 10%, supported by an anticipated around %43 increase in data center and cloud revenues, while updating our EBITDA margin target to a range of 42% to 43%. Although we are in an intensive investment cycle, strong revenue growth allows us to revise our Operational CAPEX-to-Sales4 target to around 23%.
With confidence built on decades of experience and the pride of contributing to our country and society, we continue to move forward. Looking ahead, we will focus on the new opportunities enabled by 5G technology while further expanding the range of products and services that create value for our customers. I extend my gratitude to our Board of Directors, colleagues, and all stakeholders who have stood by us in shaping Türkiye’s digital future.

Techfin segment revenues, accounting for 6% of Group revenues, rose by 20.0% to TRY3,410 million (TRY2,841 million). A major driver of this growth was Paycell, which maintained its strong momentum, recording significant 41.7% year-on-year growth in the third quarter. For details, please refer to the Techfin section.
Other1 segment revenues, comprising 3% of the Group’s top-line, which mostly include international business, energy business and non-group call center revenues were TRY1,671 million (TRY1,712 million).
Cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization) decreased to 44.2% (44.8%) as a percentage of revenues for the third quarter of 2025. This was driven by the decline in personnel expenses (0.8pp) and energy expenses (0.7pp), while the increase in mobile payment expense (0.8pp) and other cost items (0.2pp) as a percentage of revenues.
Administrative expenses increased slightly to 4.4% (4.1%) as a percentage of revenues for this quarter.
Selling and marketing expenses increased to 6.9% (6.3%) as a percentage of revenues, mainly due to higher selling expenses.
Net impairment losses on financial and contract assets were at 0.6% (0.6%) as a percentage of revenues in Q325.

| - | Techfin segment EBITDA decreased by 5.6% to TRY748 million (TRY793 million) with a 6.0pp contraction in EBITDA margin to 21.9% (27.9%). The margin contraction stemmed mainly from higher mobile payment costs in this quarter as a result of high demand on our POS solutions. |

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by 5.8%, amounting to TRY15,806 million (TRY14,936 million).
Net finance costs rose to TRY1,335 million in the third quarter, up from TRY460 million in the same period of last year. It is noteworthy that net foreign exchange losses declined by 38.9% year-on-year to TRY1,435 million, reflecting the effectiveness of our risk management strategies. However, unlike its significant positive contribution last year, the monetary gain/loss item turned negative this quarter, more than offsetting the improvement achieved in finance costs.
See Appendix A for details of net foreign exchange gain and loss.
Net other expenses were TRY542 million (TRY239 million) in Q325.
Income tax expense amounted to TRY2,690 million (TRY3,052 million) in this quarter.
Profit from continuing operations was strong in the third quarter, increasing by 31.8% to TRY5,383 million (TRY4,086 million). This substantial growth was mainly attributable to strong EBITDA and improved results from equity accounted investees, despite the adverse impact of monetary loss.
Net income of the Group was at TRY5,398 million (TRY19,035 million) in this quarter. Although this indicates a sharp decrease on a yearly basis, it is mainly due to the one-off impact of TRY14,948 million from discontinued operations related to the Ukraine sale last year.
(1) Our revenue segmentation was revised as of Q1 2025. Within this scope, all past data have been restated for comparability purposes. For a comprehensive explanation, please refer to the Press Release and the Excel file for Q1 2025, available on the Turkcell IR website.
(2) EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See page 14 for the explanation of how we calculate adjusted EBITDA and its reconciliation to net income.

Total cash & debt: Consolidated cash as of September 30, 2025, increased to TRY122,347 million, from TRY86,464 million as of December 31, 2024. This increase was primarily driven by the USD 1 billion bond issuance completed earlier this year. Excluding FX swap transactions, 49% of our cash is in US$, 32% in EUR, 1% in CNY, and 18% in TRY.
Consolidated debt as of September 30, 2025, increased to TRY181,281 million from TRY130,874 million as of December 31, 2024. Note that TRY15,184 million of our consolidated debt comprises lease obligations. After hedging transactions, 55% of our consolidated debt is in US$, 31% in EUR, 5% in CNY, and 10% in TRY.
Net debt1, as of September 30, 2025, increased to TRY19,855 million from TRY13,435 million as of December 31, 2024, with a net debt to EBITDA ratio of 0.20x.
At the end of the quarter, Turkcell Group had a short net FX position of US$9 million (taking into account the hedging portfolio, advance payments and precious metal investments into account). The 5G tender has resulted in a liability of US$1.5 billion (including VAT) for our company. We closely monitor market dynamics and manage our currency risk effectively, however this commitment may cause our net FX position to increase on the short side on medium term.
Capital expenditures (CAPEX) amounted to TRY59,129 million in the first nine months of the year, with TRY15,708 million recorded in the third quarter. Operational capital expenditures (excluding license fees) accounted for 17.4% and 18.1% of total revenues in Q325 and 9M25, respectively.

In Q325, we sustained strong operational performance and strategic focus despite the continued intensity of market competition. Our commitment to a value-driven strategy and superior customer experience enabled us to successfully navigate the dynamic market conditions. Despite these challenges, we continued to expand our customer base, with a focus on maintaining our strong market position. During the quarter, we recorded a net addition of 569 thousand postpaid subscribers, bringing total postpaid net additions for the first nine months of the year to 1.5 million. Consequently, the proportion of postpaid subscribers within our total mobile customer base reached 79% in Q325, marking a notable 5 percentage point increase year-over-year. Although the prepaid- segment continued to contract, our total mobile subscriber base exceeded 39 million as of the end of the third quarter. The mobile churn rate rose to 2.6%, mainly due to heightened activity in the Mobile Number Portability (MNP) market amid intensified competition. Leveraging our AI-driven micro-segment management approach, we continued to deliver personalized offers tailored to diverse customer needs. Consequently, mobile ARPU (excluding M2M) grew 11.9% year-on-year, driven by a higher postpaid share, segment-based price adjustments, and effective upselling initiatives.
10
Our fixed broadband subscriber base continued to grow, supported by sustained demand for high-speed connectivity. In Q325, our high-quality end-to-end fiber customer base expanded by 33 thousand. Including resell fiber services, provided over other operators’ infrastructure, we achieved a total of 55 thousand net fiber subscriber additions. Delayed price adjustments by some small ISPs continued to put pressure on churn performance. Nevertheless, despite the elevated churn rate, our overall fixed broadband subscriber base increased by 11 thousand during the quarter. Residential fiber ARPU rose 17.3% year-on-year, driven by price adjustments, ongoing migration to higher-speed packages (100 Mbps and above), and a growing share of customers on 12-month contracts.
During the same period, we accelerated our fiber network investments, adding 107 thousand new homepasses and bringing the total to 6.2 million homepasses which further extends the reach of our high-quality fiber infrastructure.

Paycell maintained its strong momentum, delivering another quarter of solid results. Paycell recorded 41.7% year-on-year revenue growth, driven primarily by the POS and Pay Later business. Notably, POS revenues grew by 169% year-on-year in Q325. The share of non-group revenues rose to 78%, up from 60% in the same period last year, reflecting continued expansion beyond the Group ecosystem. EBITDA increased by 2.6%; however, the margin declined to 32.6%. The contraction in margin was mainly attributable to the higher share of POS revenues in the total mix, as well as slower growth in late collection revenues which remained below inflation.
Total transaction volume across all services rose 78% year-on-year to TRY48.1 billion in Q325. The volume of Pay Later (non-group) increased by 102% over the same period. These strong growth figures were supported by favorable regulatory revisions in mobile payment limits.

Financell's revenue growth lagged inflation in the third quarter of the year primarily due to the average portfolio growing below inflation in a challenging macroeconomic environment. While new loans issued grew by 36% year-on-year, this did not translate into balance sheet portfolio growth due to shorter loan duration as customers’ preference for premium devices, which are financed in maximum three installments, increased. Thanks to more favorable funding costs, the net interest margin increased to 5.0%. The EBITDA margin decreased by 5.3pp to 13.2% this quarter, due mainly to higher collection costs year-on-year resulting from regulatory limits on mobile payments.
As of the third quarter of 2025, Financell’s total loan portfolio amounted to TRY 7.5 billion, serving approximately 0.7 million active customers. The company sustained its market-leading position in consumer financing, with a 50% market share¹ based on the number of loans.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASUREMENTS:
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, among other key metrics, facilitates performance comparisons from period to period and aids management decision making. It also enables performance comparisons between companies. As a performance measure, Adjusted EBITDA 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 and amortization expenses). 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. It is not standardized across the telecommunications industry; thus, reported performance measures vary from those that may result from using 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 Q324 and Q325.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS PERIOD ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2025

New standards and interpretations |
The accounting policies adopted in preparation of the consolidated financial statements as of 30 September 2025 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 2025 and thereafter. The effects of these standards and interpretations on the Group’s financial position and performance have been disclosed in the related paragraphs.
| i) | The new standards, amendments and interpretations which are effective as of 1 January 2024 are as follows: |
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. When applying the amendments, an entity cannot restate comparative information.
The Group expects no significant impact on its balance sheet and equity.
| 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 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 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 derecognized on the ‘settlement date’. It also introduces an accounting policy option to derecognize 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.
Annual Improvements to IFRSs – Volume 11
In July 2024, the IASB issued Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards – Volume 11, amending the followings:
| - | IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards – Hedge Accounting by a First-time Adopter: These amendments are intended to address potential confusion arising from an inconsistency between the wording in IFRS 1 and the requirements for hedge accounting in IFRS 9. |
| - | IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures – Gain or Loss on Derecognition: The amendments update the language on unobservable inputs in the Standard and include a cross reference to IFRS 13. |
| - | IFRS 9 Financial Instruments – Lessee Derecognition of Lease Liabilities and Transaction Price: IFRS 9 has been amended to clarify that, when a lessee has determined that a lease liability has been extinguished in accordance with IFRS 9, the lessee is required to apply derecognition requirement of IFRS 9 and recognise any resulting gain or loss in profit or loss. IFRS 9 has been also amended to remove the reference to 'transaction price”. |
| - | IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements – Determination of a 'De Facto Agent': The amendments are intended to remove the inconsistencies between IFRS 10 paragraphs. |
| - | IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows – Cost Method: The amendments remove the term of “cost method” following the prior deletion of the definition of 'cost method'. |
Improvements are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026. Earlier application is permitted for all.
The amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 - Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity
In December 2024, the Board issued Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7). The amendment clarifies the application of the “own use” requirements and permits hedge accounting if these contracts are used as hedging instruments. The amendment also adds new
disclosure requirements to enable investors to understand the effect of these contracts on a company’s financial performance and cash flows. The amendment will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026. Early adoption is permitted but will need to be disclosed. The clarifications regarding the ‘own use’ requirements must be applied retrospectively, but the guidance permitting hedge accounting have to be applied prospectively to new hedging relationships designated on or after the date of initial application.
The Group expects no significant impact on its balance sheet and equity.
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.

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.
The Group had divided its main operating segments into three groups: Turkcell Türkiye, Turkcell International, and Techfin, within the framework of a strategy to provide integrated communication and technology services, ensuring economic integrity. Management has re-evaluated the operating segments and decided, as of 31 March 2025, to separate the existing operating segments into two groups: Turkcell Türkiye and Techfin. After sales of assets in Ukraine, the companies in the Turkcell International segment have been classified to the Other.
The other operations of Turkcell Satış, where consumer electronics sold through digital channels, smart device management operations, and retail channel operations are conducted, was reported under the Other. Since these activities are regularly reviewed by central management through integrated channel management, along with integrated corporate business solutions, city hospitals, hardware, and corporate terminal operations, all operations of Turkcell Satış have been reclassified under the reportable segment of Turkcell Türkiye as of 31 March 2025.
As of 30 September 2024, the presented comparative information has been reclassified to ensure consistency with the current period presentation (Note 3). The changes in classifications do not affect the operating profit, period profit, and cash flow statement.
At the end of 2024, the Group reassessed the presentation of the other comprehensive income statement based on the disclosed reasons and concluded that combining the lines showing similar nature movements would provide a more appropriate presentation. The Group continued with the same presentation in the comparative financial statements as of 30 September 2025, and foreign currency translation differences, cash flow hedge gains/losses, and changes in the time value of options have started to be presented net in the consolidated other comprehensive income statement, including comparative periods. Reclassified amounts are disclosed in the related notes.

| 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.

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 | ||
| b) FX swap, currency, interest swap and option contracts | Level 2 | Present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves | ||
| c) Currency forward contracts | Level 2 | Forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date |

Commodity Price Risk
On 25 September 2025, the Group invested in a gold deposit account equivalent to 6,656 ounces of gold. As of 30 September 2025, the fair value of the gold deposit account is TRY 1,065,352. Therefore, the Group’s profitability may be affected by changes in gold prices in the markets.
In the sensitivity analysis performed, it was assessed that a 10% increase in gold prices would result in a TRY 106,535 increase in profit or loss before tax, whereas a 10% decrease would result in a TRY (106,535) decrease in profit or loss before tax.
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 30 September 2025 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.

Other ongoing lawsuits and tax investigations

General Assessment of Ongoing Litigation and Investigation

The provision allocated for ongoing investigations, inquiries, lawsuits, and audits represents the Company Management's best estimate; however, the results of these proceedings may differ from the Group's assessments.

| 23. | Subsequent events |
The Company has committed to pay a total of USD 1,224,000 (excluding VAT) for 160 MHz of frequency as a result of the frequency auction held by the Information and Communication Technologies Authority (ICTA) on 16 October 2025.
With this auction, and together with the commitment to pay 5% (excluding VAT) of the gross revenues obtained from mobile services to ICTA each year from 30 April 2029—the expiration date of the current GSM license authorization certificates—until 31 December 2042, the Company will be able to continue providing mobile service operations for these GSM license authorizations.
The auction price (excluding VAT) is planned to be paid in three equal installments on 2 January 2026, 25 December 2026, and 2 May 2027.
The finalization of the auction results is expected to take place following the completion of the legal requirements under the tender specifications and other relevant legislation within the framework of the authorization process.
