Day: September 11, 2024

ISTANBUL, Sept. 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — D-MARKET Electronic Services & Trading (d/b/a “Hepsiburada”) HEPS, a leading Turkish e-commerce platform (referred to herein as “Hepsiburada” or the “Company”), today announces its unaudited financial results for the second quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2024.

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”), 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 and six months ended June 30, 2024, including figures corresponding to the same periods 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 June 30, 2024. 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 June 30, 2024 are as follows:

Date	Index	Conversion Factor
30 June 2024	2,319.3	1.00
31 December 2023	1,859.4	1.25
30 June 2023	1,351.6	1.72

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 in the summary tables of the consolidated financial statements and under the “Highlights” section and explanatory notes as relevant. The press release also includes tables that show the IAS 29 adjustment impact on the consolidated financial statements for the periods under discussion. 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 and our year-on-year growth and profitability guidance. 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:

“Our second quarter performance confirms our continued relevance for consumers as their trusted household brand. We remain in a challenging macroeconomic conjecture, where consumer purchasing power is under pressure. Ever customer-centric, with our meticulous execution of strategic priorities and compelling value proposition, we have delivered another solid set of results in Q2 2024, exceeding our guidance. Overall, in the first half of the year, our GMV doubled compared to the first half of the previous year and our EBITDA reached 2.4% of GMV, in each case unadjusted for inflation.

With our exceptional customer experience, top-notch logistics services and diverse affordability solutions, our NPS metrics yet again confirmed that we are Türkiye’s most recommended e-commerce brand. Our loyalty program, Hepsiburada Premium, had reached a new milestone of 3 million members by mid-August, right after its second anniversary. With the upcoming conversion from local to global streaming content under Warner Bros. Discovery, the exclusive experience enjoyed by these members scales a new height.

Meanwhile, our logistics excellence led to increased preference among our merchants and other retailers. In the second quarter of 2024, HepsiJet delivered 73% of total parcels on our platform, up by a remarkable 6.8 percentage points year-on-year. Its off-platform expansion also accelerated, doubling its volume from external customers in the second quarter of 2024. HepsiJet, being a new generation logistics company committed to sustainable practices, added 21 electric vans to its fleet in a pilot project in the second quarter of 2024.

On the fintech front, Hepsipay’s comprehensive suite of affordability solutions and lending services gained further traction in an ongoing tight liquidity environment. Including loans from partner banks, our affordability solutions penetration rose to 8.1% of GMV. Meanwhile, the total lending volume through our platform, including those issued through partner banks, reached TRY 11.2 billion over the last twelve months by the end of the second quarter of 2024, up from TRY 8.1 billion in the first quarter of 2024. On the payments front, Hepsipay further enhanced customer experience with the recently launched auto top-up feature in the wallet. With 16.7 million wallet customers, Hepsipay’s one-click checkout solution, Pay with Hepsipay, was already integrated at the checkout of 50 leading retailers as of the end of August 2024, almost tripling its total payment volume during the second quarter of 2024 compared to the first quarter of 2024.

As we enter the second half of the year, we remain cautiously optimistic about market conditions and we are confident in our ability to execute on our strategic initiatives for the period ahead. Accordingly, in the third quarter, we expect continued GMV growth within the range of 70% – 75% year-on-year compared to the same quarter of last year, unadjusted for inflation. We also expect to achieve an EBITDA around 2.2% of GMV, unadjusted for inflation in the third quarter. We remain committed to delivering sustainable and profitable growth underpinned by our customer centricity, while preserving prudent capital management. We thank our shareholders, our loyal customers, our partners, and our dedicated team for their continued support.”

Q3 2024 Outlook

The below forward-looking statements reflect Hepsiburada’s expectations as of September 11, 2024, considering year-to-date trends that could be subject to change, and involve inherent risks which we are unable to control or foresee. The financial outlook is based on management’s current views and estimates with respect to existing market conditions. However, there are several factors which may impact the current outlook, including the inflationary environment both in Türkiye and globally, local currency volatility, further tightening in monetary policy, low consumer confidence, pressure on purchasing power, regional geopolitical headwinds, the regulatory environment for our activities in Türkiye and the evolving competitive landscape. Management’s views and estimates are subject to change without notice. See also the “Forward Looking Statements” section at the end of this press release.

For the third quarter of 2024, we expect to deliver IAS 29-Unadjusted GMV growth within the range of 70% to 75% compared to the third quarter of 2023 and IAS 29-Unadjusted EBITDA as a percentage of GMV around 2.2%.

In 2024, we remain committed to delivering sustainable and profitable growth underpinned by our customer centricity, while preserving prudent capital management.

Business and Strategy Highlights

As of June 30, 2024, the annual inflation rate published by TurkStat was 71.6%, up from 38.2% as of June 30, 2023, and 68.5% as of March 31, 2024. The monthly inflation rates during the second quarter of 2024 were 3.2%, 3.4% and 1.6% in April, May and June, respectively. The Consumer Confidence Index fell by nearly 6.8 points on a yearly basis to 78.3 as of June 30, 2024.

In Q2 2024, IAS 29-Unadjusted GMV increased by 79.2% to TRY 33.1 billion compared to TRY 18.5 billion in Q2 2023, exceeding our guidance of approximately 75% by nearly 4.2 percentage points. Adjusted for inflation, GMV increased by 3.9% to TRY 33.8 billion in Q2 2024 compared to TRY 32.5 billion in Q2 2023. GMV growth was attributable mainly to the 6.0% order growth (excluding that of digital products). Higher VAT rates following the increase introduced in July 2023 also contributed to this growth. These factors were partially offset by the 2.0% decline in average order value.

We experienced order growth of 33.3% compared to Q2 2023, resulting from the continued rise in order frequency during the second quarter of 2024. Our order frequency (LTM) grew by 23.2% to 10.6, up from 8.6² as of June 30, 2023. A strong customer demand for our digital products (which mainly include sweepstakes and gamified lotteries as well as the first monthly payment of Hepsiburada Premium membership subscription) contributed to the rise in order frequency. Excluding the orders of digital products, order frequency would have been 6.7 as of June 30, 2024 compared to 5.9 as of June 30, 2023, corresponding to 14.0% growth. Accordingly, order growth excluding that of digital products was 6.0% in Q2 2024 compared to Q2 2023. While these digital products only generated around 0.5% of our GMV in Q2 2024, we value the repeat interaction they enable with the participating customer segments.

Overall, our performance was also supported by the appeal of our Hepsiburada Premium loyalty program, attractive affordability solutions and data-driven marketing campaigns. Our Net Promoter Score (“NPS”) of 75 in Q2 2024 compared to 73 in Q1 2024 (according to the results of market research conducted by FutureBright on behalf of Hepsiburada) positioned us, once again, as the number one most recommended e-commerce platform in Türkiye.

We remain committed to executing our strategic priorities that include: a) nurturing loyalty, b) capitalizing on our clear differentiation of superior delivery services, c) capitalizing on our clear differentiation through affordability and lending solutions and d) offering our payment, lending and last-mile services to third parties.

The discussion below elaborates on our progress in Q2 2024 within each of our strategic priorities:

a) Nurturing loyalty

• Central to our strategy is prioritizing customer loyalty and retention. Our loyalty program, Hepsiburada Premium, continues to play a key role in achieving this. Meanwhile, focusing on retention has helped us to reduce and optimize our marketing and advertising spend.
• Hepsiburada Premium members more than doubled, reaching 2.6 million by the end of Q2 2024 compared to 1.2 million by the end of Q2 2023. The number of Hepsiburada Premium members reached a milestone of 3 million by August 12, 2024.
• Hepsiburada Premium members continue to generate higher order frequency than non-members. In Q2 2024, the monthly order frequency for members was 36% higher than before joining the program, mirroring the Q1 2024 level in percentage terms.
• The NPS for Hepsiburada Premium members was 84 in Q2 2024, according to the results of market research conducted by the research company FutureBright on behalf of Hepsiburada, up from 81 in Q1 2024. This score remains higher than the Company’s overall NPS, which we believe signifies a strong satisfaction level among members.
• Further enriching the program’s customer benefits, in July 2024, we partnered with Warner Bros. Discovery to extend the offering of a BluTV subscription, a Türkiye-based subscription video-on-demand service, as a privilege for Hepsiburada Premium members. BluTV, which was fully acquired by Warner Bros. Discovery in December 2023, features an ever-expanding collection of Turkish content and a broad range of the best international series and shows from Warner Bros. Discovery.

b) Capitalizing on our clear differentiation of superior delivery services

• In Q2 2024, HepsiJet continued offering competitive services, including our oversized delivery services that differentiate us in the market. We believe that swift delivery is a core customer expectation and, in Q2 2024, HepsiJet delivered 82% of the orders placed through our retail arm (1P) within the next day (compared to 83% in Q2 2023).
• HepsiJet is also a key component of our value proposition for our merchants. In Q2 2024, HepsiJet delivered approximately 73% of our total parcels (compared to 66% in Q2 2023).
• The NPS for HepsiJet was 89 in Q2 2024, according to our internal survey results, underscoring its service excellence. Through HepsiJet, our customers enjoy flexible delivery options and value added services including return from doorstep for all purchases on our platform.
• Our oversized package delivery service (HepsiJet XL) delivered 68% of oversized parcels ordered through our platform in Q2 2024, up from 59% in Q2 2023.

c) Capitalizing on our clear differentiation through affordability and lending solutions

• Leveraging our e-money and payment services licenses, we offer a comprehensive suite of payment and affordability solutions on the Hepsiburada platform, as well as externally to other partner retailers.
• Our total financed transaction volume (including BNPL, shopping loans, general purpose loans and consumer finance loans) had reached TRY 11.2 billion over the last twelve months by the end of Q2 2024. 48% of this amount was issued through partner banks in the form of shopping loans and general purpose loans, while 52% was issued by Hepsiburada group companies (up from 36% in Q2 2023) in the form of our BNPL solution and consumer finance loans.
  • As of June 30, 2024, our BNPL solution had been used by over 404 thousand customers.
  • Approximately 1.3 million orders were processed through our non-card affordability solutions (including BNPL and shopping loans) over the past 12 months.
  • In Q2 2024, orders made through our BNPL solution, shopping loans and consumer finance loans accounted for 6.1% of total GMV for the period, up from 4.9% in Q1 2024.
  • The consumer tendency to use general purpose loans for shopping on our platform has also increased. As such, including the impact of general purpose loans spent on the platform, GMV penetration of all affordability solutions rose to 8.1% in Q2 2024 from 5.8% in Q1 2024.  
  • By August 31, 2024, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Hepsifinans, had provided over TRY 813 million in consumer finance loans since its launch in January 2024.
  • We diligently manage credit risk in our BNPL, with a CoR³ of around 2.6% as of August 31, 2024, while remaining focused on growth optimization.
  • Shopping related credit receivables create limited balance sheet load with average durations of around 3.7 and 4.2 months for BNPL and consumer finance loans solutions, respectively.
• As of June 30, 2024, our wallet and payment gateway solution, Hepsipay, registered approximately 16.1 million Hepsipay wallet customers (representing users who have opened their wallet account by giving the required consent to Hepsipay), up from 12.5 million as of June 30, 2023. As of the end of August, the number of Hepsipay wallet customers had reached 16.7 million. Additionally, 19.5 million cards are stored in the wallets of Hepsipay customers.
• As of June 30, 2024, 1.6 million Hepsipay prepaid cards had been issued through the Hepsiburada mobile app. The Hepsipay prepaid card can be used online at any e-commerce site and is linked to the QR payment feature which allows customers to use it at any off-line retailer that accepts QR payments. As of the end of August, the number of Hepsipay cards issued exceeded 1.7 million. The option for Hepsipay prepaid card holders to top up their e-wallets by way of general purpose loans is now available at nine leading banks in Türkiye. In April 2024, the automatic top-up feature went live in the digital wallet. This convenient feature enables customers to automatically top up their wallet with any saved card when their wallets lack sufficient credit and pay at off-line retailers by scanning QR.

d) Offering payment, lending and last-mile delivery services to third parties

• We believe that our strategy to extend our services and solutions beyond our platform by offering them to other retailers, benefits both retail partners and customers. We see great potential for both Hepsipay and HepsiJet to leverage their own assets and increase their revenue contribution to our Company.
• HepsiJet today serves approximately 2,300 external customers, including household-name retailers. We believe HepsiJet is best positioned to build on this momentum and grow its share in the logistics market.
• The share of external customer volume in HepsiJet’s operations increased to 35.9% in Q2 2024, up from 24.8% in Q2 2023. The total parcel volume of third parties delivered in Q2 2024 doubled compared to Q2 2023.
• As of June 30, 2024, Hepsipay’s one-click check-out (“Pay with Hepsipay”) offering was successfully integrated into the online checkout of 40 retailers, reaching 50 retailers by the end of August. Total payment volume through “Pay with Hepsipay” almost tripled compared to Q1 2024. By enabling payment with cards stored on the Hepsipay wallet, Hepsipay has gained a share of these retailers’ online sales.

ESG Actions

• In Q2 2024, Hepsiburada continued its support in social, commercial and economic areas.
• Our “Trade and Technology Empowerment for the Earthquake Region” program, launched in March 2023 a month after the earthquake, reached approximately 18,100 merchants, with over 4,500 new businesses now selling their products online through Hepsiburada. Active sellers have generated a trade volume exceeding TRY 6.5 billion since its launch. Our E-Commerce Specialization Centers in Adana, Hatay and Kahramanmaraş support existing merchants and organize training courses and programs for those new to the e-commerce market, benefiting over a thousand merchants from the region.
• Further, Hepsiburada distributed storybooks to thousands of children in the earthquake-affected region as part of our ongoing “A Smile is Enough” project.
• The “Technology Empowerment for Women Entrepreneurs” (“TEWE”) program reached an additional 2,149 women. To date, the TEWE program has supported approximately 55 thousand women entrepreneurs. Furthermore, as of June 30, 2024, the number of women’s cooperatives on our platform had reached 274.
• As part of the TEWE program, various NGO collaborations have been established to provide sustainable support to the earthquake zone. As of June 30, 2024, the number of women entrepreneurs and women’s cooperatives in the impacted region had reached 3,579 and 42, respectively.
• Hepsiburada’s last-mile delivery service, HepsiJet, has launched cargo distribution in select regions of Türkiye with 21 electric vans in a pilot project. The electric vans offer high energy conversion efficiency, contributing to sustainability by reducing carbon emissions.

^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, transaction fees and other contractual charges to the merchants.

Our revenue in Q2 2024 was nearly flat amounting to TRY 10,112.9 million compared to TRY 10,113.3 million in Q2 2023. This was due to a 12.6% decrease in our (1P) revenue (comprising 65.1% of total revenue) and a 2.9% decrease in our (3P) revenue (comprising of 12.9% total revenue) compared to Q2 2023 which were partially offset by 67.5% increase in delivery service revenue (comprising 15.4% of total revenue) and a 115.1% increase in other revenue. The 12.6% decline in 1P revenue was mainly due to 4.0 percentage point (pp) shift in GMV mix towards 3P (Marketplace).

The 67.5% increase in delivery service revenue compared to Q2 2023 was mainly due to i) a significant increase in delivery service revenue from the off-platform customers of HepsiJet, ii) annual rises in unit delivery service charges surpassing inflation, and iii) an increase in the number of parcels delivered.

The rise in other revenue was mainly attributable to a 73.4% growth in our advertising services (HepsiAd) and a 3.5x growth in our Hepsiburada Premium subscription revenues and a 76.2% increase in our fulfillment service revenues.

While GMV increased by 3.9% in Q2 2024 compared to Q2 2023, total 1P and 3P revenue decreased during this period by 11.1%. The gap in these rates was mainly due to a) a 4.0pp shift in the GMV mix towards 3P (Marketplace) and b) the increase in VAT across all goods and services in early July 2023, resulting in an increase in average selling prices throughout the platform. A slight increase in returns, cancellation, as well as customer discounts in Q2 2024, in each case compared to Q2 2023, also had an impact.

The Gross Contribution margin improved by 2.6pp to 12.0% in Q2 2024 compared to 9.3% in Q2 2023. This margin improvement was mainly attributable to a 1.7pp increase in delivery service revenue from off-platform customers, a 1.0pp improvement derived from higher other revenue and a 0.1pp increase in 1P margin primarily due to the impact of higher discounts on cost of inventory sold due to purchases on credit, partially offset by a 0.3pp decline in 3P margin.

Net operating expenses as a % of GMV	(30.0%)	(31.4%)	1.3pp	(30.8%)	(31.5%)	0.8pp

Net operating expenses decreased by 0.5% to TRY 10,145.2 million in Q2 2024 compared to TRY 10,199.6 million in Q2 2023. As a percentage of GMV, our net operating expenses declined 1.3pp mainly due to a 3.8pp decrease in cost of inventory sold as a percentage of GMV. This was partially offset by a 0.9pp increase in shipping and packaging expenses, a 0.5pp rise in advertising expenses, a 0.4pp rise in payroll and outsource staff expenses, a 0.1pp rise in technology expenses, a 0.2pp rise in depreciation and amortization and a 0.4pp rise in other operating expenses, net, in each case as a percentage of GMV.

The 3.8pp decrease in cost of inventory sold as a percentage of GMV was mainly due to a 4.0pp shift in GMV mix towards Marketplace sales and the positive impact on cost of inventory sold from purchases on credit as a result of increased interest rates in Türkiye.

The 0.9pp increase in shipping and packaging expenses as a percentage of GMV was mainly driven by the 6% increase in the number of orders excluding digital products, the higher volume of HepsiJet’s third-party services and a rise in delivery fees per unit (applied by our delivery partners due to increases in fuel prices and annual minimum wages), outpacing the average inflation in Q2 2024 compared to Q2 2023.

The 0.5pp increase in advertising expenses as a percentage of GMV was mainly due to continued investment in some of our profitability drivers including growing the sale of non-electronic categories and scaling our strategic business pillar Hepsiburada Premium program.

The 0.4pp increase in payroll and outsource staff expenses as a percentage of GMV was mainly due to the rise in the number of full-time and outsourced employees in line with our plans on talent onboarding for our subsidiaries.

The 0.4pp increase in other operating expenses, net was mainly due to the reversal of TRY 180.3 million provision expense recorded for the Competition Board investigation in Q2 2023 that was disclosed in greater detail in our Form 6-K furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on August 24, 2023. This reversal resulted in a 0.5pp improvement in net operating expenses as a percentage of GMV in Q2 2023.

Financial income	600.8	2,476.5	(75.7%)	1,488.7	2,771.6	(46.3%)

Our financial income decreased by 75.7%, to TRY 600.8 million in Q2 2024 compared to TRY 2,476.5 million in Q2 2023. The TRY 1,875.7 million decrease in financial income was mainly driven by a TRY 1,907.8 million decrease in foreign exchange gains from our U.S. dollar denominated bank deposits and financial investments due to the lower U.S. dollar/TRY appreciation during Q2 2024 compared to Q2 2023. The TRY currency depreciation was by 1.7% in Q2 2024 compared to 34.9% in Q2 2023. The decrease in financial income was partially offset by the increase in interest income on credit sales and time deposits as a result of higher annual interest rates.

Financial expenses	(1,355.3)	(1,226.5)	10.5%	(2,811.7)	(1,796.4)	56.5%

Our financial expenses increased by 10.5% to TRY 1,355.3 million in Q2 2024 compared to TRY 1,226.5 million in Q2 2023. This TRY 128.8 million increase was primarily attributable to a TRY 373.2 million increase in commission expenses due to early collection of credit card receivables and a TRY 351.5 million increase in interest expenses on purchases as a result of an increase in annual effective interest rates and an increase in purchased goods during Q2 2024, each compared to Q2 2023, which were partially offset by a TRY 576.4 million decrease in foreign currency exchange losses from our U.S. dollar denominated trade payables as a result of lower U.S. dollar/TRY appreciation during Q2 2024 compared to Q2 2023.

Income/(Loss) for the Period

Loss for the period was TRY 384.5 million in Q2 2024, down from an income of TRY 1,511.9 million in Q2 2023. This was mainly due to a TRY 2,004.4 million increase in net financial expenses (net of financial income) and TRY 67.2 million increase in depreciation and amortization, partially offset by TRY 121.3 million improvements in EBITDA and TRY 53.9 million in monetary gain.

EBITDA

EBITDA increased by 45.7%, or TRY 121.3 million, to TRY 386.6 million in Q2 2024 compared to TRY 265.3 million in Q2 2023, corresponding to 1.1% EBITDA as a percentage of GMV in Q2 2024. This corresponded to a 0.8pp improvement in EBITDA as a percentage of GMV in Q2 2024 compared to Q2 2023. This improvement was driven by a 2.6pp rise in Gross Contribution margin, partially offset by a 0.9pp rise in shipping and packaging expenses and a 0.5pp rise in advertising expenses, a 0.4pp rise in other operating expenses, net, a 0.4pp rise in payroll and outsource staff expenses and a 0.1pp rise in technology expenses, in each case as a percentage of GMV.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures increased by 35.1%, or TRY 105.7 million, to TRY 406.9 million in Q2 2024 compared to TRY 301.2 million in Q2 2023. This increase was mainly due to increase in the costs of employees, who are employed for the development of the website and mobile platforms for both core and strategic assets, and whose costs are capitalized. The cost of these employees comprises around 75% of total capital expenditures in Q2 2024, compared to around 74% in Q2 2023. The remaining capital expenditures in each of Q2 2024 and Q2 2023 mainly comprised the purchase of property and equipment as well as software and rights.

Net Working Capital

Net working capital was negative TRY 5,676.4 million as of June 30, 2024 compared to negative TRY 7,367.5 million as of December 31, 2023. The TRY 1,691.2 million change in negative net working capital was mainly driven by a TRY 840.2 million decrease in trade payables and payables to merchants, a TRY 662.1 million increase in inventories and a TRY 255.9 million increase in loan receivables. The decrease in trade payables and payables to merchants resulted primarily from a shift in the GMV mix towards 3P with shorter payments. The increase in inventories was due to longer inventory turnover days as of June 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023. The increase in loan receivables was mainly due to an increase in our in-house consumer finance loan facility that was launched in January 2024.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

Our net cash used in operating activities in Q2 2024 comprised a TRY 384.5 million loss (Q2 2023: income of TRY 1,511.9 million), a negative TRY 1,662.0 million change in net working capital (Q2 2023: negative TRY 1,555.1 million) and a TRY 1,808.9 million change in other items (comprising non-cash items such as provisions and depreciation expenses as well as certain non-operating items such as financial income & expenses, non-operating monetary gains & losses and unrealized foreign exchange differences) (Q2 2023: negative TRY 697.4 million). The change in net working capital is further disclosed in the “Net Working Capital” section above.

Net cash used in operating activities rose by TRY 503.0 million to TRY 237.6 million in Q2 2024 compared to net cash used in operating activities in Q2 2023 of TRY 740.6 million. This was mainly due to an EBITDA improvement of TRY 121.3 million, a decrease in change in net working capital of TRY 106.8 million and a decrease in realized foreign exchange losses of TRY 447.7 million.

Free Cash Flow

Our free cash flow was negative TRY 644.5 million in Q2 2024 compared to negative TRY 1,041.8 million in Q2 2023. This improvement was mainly due to the decrease in net cash used in operating activities, partially offset by a TRY 105.7 million increase in capital expenditures.

Total Cash and Financial Investments

Total cash and cash equivalents was TRY 3,680.1 million as of June 30, 2024 compared to TRY 6,860.4 million as of December 31, 2023. The TRY 3,180.3 million decrease was mainly due to slower appreciation of the USD/TRY exchange rate against the six-month inflation as well as higher cash used in financing activities and purchases of financial investments.

Total financial investments as of June 30, 2024 amounted to TRY 3,184.3 million compared to TRY 2,148.9 million as of December 31, 2023. Our financial investments consist of a financial asset measured at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets carried at amortized costs, including investment funds and Eurobonds.

We held around 53.4% of our total cash, cash equivalents and financial investments in U.S. dollars as of June 30, 2024.

Bank Borrowings

Our short-term bank borrowings are utilized to facilitate supplier and merchant financing as well as for our short-term liquidity needs in the ordinary course of our operations. Our short-term borrowings increased to TRY 473.2 million as of June 30, 2024, from TRY 228.9 million as of December 31, 2023. Our short-term borrowings also included issued asset-backed securities amounting to TRY 150.0 million. As of June 30, 2024, supplier and merchant financing loans corresponded to TRY 149.5 million of the short-term bank borrowings compared to TRY 22.1 million as of December 31, 2023.

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 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 taxation on income less financial income plus financial expenses, 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, 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 profit (income) as determined in accordance with IFRS 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 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 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.

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. 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. 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.

The following table shows the reconciliation of EBITDA to income/(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. 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 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.

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. 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 as well as our year on year GMV growth and profitability guidance.

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.

Free Cash Flow is a supplemental non-IFRS financial measure that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, IFRS. 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. 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 results.

The following table shows the reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities for the periods presented.

Amounts expressed in millions of Turkish lira (TRY) in terms of the purchasing power of the TRY at 30 June 2024. Unaudited.

Capital expenditures	(409.1)	(301.4)	(874.2)	(694.3)
Proceeds from the sale of property and equipment	2.2	0.2	5.4	2.0
Free Cash Flow	(644.5)	(1,041.8)	471.6	(1,322.9)

Net Working Capital is a supplemental non-IFRS financial measure that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, IFRS. Starting from Q4 2021, we have revised the definition of Net Working Capital to include the “financial investments” balance on our balance sheet as at December 31, 2021.  As we believe financial investments are cash-like item by nature, we deducted from current assets along with cash and cash equivalents.

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.

The following table shows the reconciliation of Net Working Capital to current assets and current liabilities as of the dates indicated:

Restatement Methods for Consolidated Balance Sheets

(1) Monetary items do not need to be restated, because they represent money held, to be received or to be paid. Monetary items are therefore already expressed in current purchasing power at the reporting date.

(2) Non-monetary assets and liabilities are restated in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period. We used the increase in the general price index from the transaction date when they were first recognized to the end of the reporting period.

(3) Other current assets and other current liabilities consist of monetary and non-monetary items.

(4) The components of shareholders’ equity, excluding retained earnings, are restated by applying a general price index from the dates on which the items were contributed or otherwise arose.

(5) Retained earnings are restated for the balancing figure derived from the other amounts in the restated opening balance sheet.

Restatement Methods for Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income/(Loss)

(6) All items except cost of inventory sold, depreciation and amortization expenses and monetary gains or losses in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for the current year are restated by applying the change in the general price index from the dates when the items of income and expense were originally recorded.

(7) Cost of inventory sold is restated by using restated inventories balance.

(8) Depreciation and amortization expenses is restated by using restated property and equipment, intangible assets and right of use assets balances.

(9) Technology expenses, other operating expenses and income includes prepaid expenses and deferred income which are considered as non-monetary items and restated by using restated balances of those items.

(10) The monetary gains or losses is calculated as the difference between the historical cost amounts and the result from the restatement of non-monetary items, shareholders’ equity, items in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. The monetary gain or loss is reported as a separate item in the restated consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.

Restatement Methods for Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

All items in the consolidated statements of cash flows are expressed in a measuring unit current at the balance sheet date; they are therefore restated by applying the relevant conversion factors from the date on which the transaction originated.

Income/(loss) before tax is adjusted for the monetary gain or loss for the period.

The monetary loss on cash and cash equivalents is presented separately.

Inflation effect on non-operating activities is presented separately. It is calculated as the difference between the restated openings and closing balances of cash and cash equivalents, borrowings and financial investments.

Inflation effect on operating activities is presented separately. It is calculated as the difference between the restated openings and closing balances of provisions and considered as a reconciling item in the cash flow statement, as this is a non-cash item not shown as a change in working capital.
