COMMENTSBY CEO, ALİ TAHA KOÇ, PhD

Ayear filled with achievements

As Turkcell, leading Türkiye's digital transformation, we successfully completed 2024 under the challenging conditions of global economic turbulence and high inflationary environment. Despite the Turkish economy being shaped by tight monetary policies and a focus on combating inflation throughout the year, we achieved strong performance through our robust business model and strategic initiatives. In this milestone year marking our 30^th^anniversary, we have steadfastly progressed toward our goal of creating sustainable value for our stakeholders, driven by our strong foundations and innovative vision. On our focus on creating value from our assets, we reduced our geopolitical risks and further strengthened our cash position by completing the sale of our subsidiaries in Ukraine. In addition, in line with the decision taken at the ordinary general assembly meeting, we distributed a total gross dividend of TRY 6.3 billion on December 5, in line with our dividend policy. In the year ahead, we remain committed to creating value for our stakeholders.

In line with our guidance; Turkcell Group revenues increased by 7.8%, reaching TRY 166.7 billion; while the EBITDA^1^ margin improved by 0.9 points on an annual basis, reaching 41.9%, despite the challenging inflationary pressures on the cost base in 2024. Our net income was at TRY 23.5 billion, supported by the contribution of the sale of Ukrainian subsidiaries.

Solidoperational performance despite the challenging competitive environment

The MNP (mobile number portability) market has been increasingly active since May, peaking in December. While irrational offers by the competitors continue to impact the healthy development of the market, the MNP market volume rose to historic highs. At this point, we have occasionally responded to some of these competitive campaigns to retain our customer base. Thanks to our subscriber retention strategy, supported by analytical models and innovative services, our mobile churn rate remained steady at 2%.

As the leader of the mobile segment, we prioritize long-term and sustainable growth. While we emphasize maintaining a balanced market structure, we remain committed to creating lasting value rather than pursuing temporary gains through short-term strategies. With this strategy, we have managed the balance of ARPU increase and subscriber base growth in a healthy way. As a result, our mobile postpaid subscriber base grew by 1.9 million, surpassing 29.1 million, marking the highest annual increase in the past 15 years. The postpaid subscriber base increased by 5 points on an annual basis and reached 76%. Our prepaid subscriber base decreased to 9.2 million as a result of alternative data solutions as well as mass line closures that we carry out in the last quarter of each year. Mobile ARPU^2^ increased by 10.4%, driven by our price adjustments, successful upsell efforts, and expansion in the postpaid subscriber base that generates more value.

In the fixed broadband segment, we remained committed to expand our end-to-end fiber service to more subscribers. Within this scope, our Turkcell fiber subscriber base^3^ increased by 168 thousand in 2024, reaching 2.5 million. Thanks to the 12-month contract share in residential fiber subscribers increasing to 85%, the share of our fiber subscribers with speeds of 100 megabits and above exceeding 41% in total fiber, and the price adjustment we have made, our fiber ARPU increased by 13.6% on an annual basis in 2024. We observe that our IPTV product TV+ also has a significant contribution to this increase. We had a very successful year in terms of converting our fiber investments into subscribers. Take up rate in the fiber segment increased by 1.7 points on an annual basis and reached 42.7%. Our “Resell” segment, which we provide services by considering financial profitability in regions where our fiber broadband service is not available, completed the year at 779 thousand. With the project that we launched as a pilot in the last quarter of 2024 and fully commissioned as of January 2025, we have now started to provide fiber service using the infrastructure of the incumbent operator.

Strongcontribution to group from Techfin Segment

Our techfin segment, consisting of Paycell and Financell^4^ brands, experienced remarkable growth in 2024. Paycell, which has changed the habits of consumers with the innovative payment services, has grown in all verticals it serves and increased its revenues to TRY 3.9 billion, with a 25% annual growth. EBITDA margin improved by 0.5 points to 43.0%. In the Pay Later service, which accounts for more than half of Paycell's revenues, the non-group volume increased by 49% compared to last year. On the other hand, POS solutions, which have gained a strong growth momentum since its launch, has become the second largest vertical of Paycell revenues in 2024 with the strong performance in non-group customers. Total volume of POS solutions increased by 88%. Paycell Card volume grew by 77% on an annual basis as users strengthened their usage habits. On the other hand, Financell, which operates in the field of individual and commercial financing, increased its revenues by 32.8% in 2024 thanks to the contribution of the increase in the average interest rate and the larger loan portfolio. The ability to serve more comprehensive customer segments thanks to our personalized pricing strategy that we launched this year has a key role in the growth of the loan portfolio. Thus, we maintained our position as the leading financing company in the field of microloans in 2024. While Financell's net interest margin improved in the second half of the year, our cost of risk remained below industry averages.

Weare shaping the future in Data Center & Cloud Business

The revenues of our Data Center & Cloud business, which we set out with the principle of “Keeping Türkiye’s data in Türkiye” and became the market leader in data center sector in a short time, grew by 46% in 2024 thanks to high demand and price adjustments. We aim to establish an additional capacity of 8.4 MW by adding new modules to our data centers, which have a total active IT capacity of 41.4 MW by the end of the year. As the first company in Türkiye to receive Tier III certifications in design, facility and operation by the Uptime Institute, we build our data centers to the highest standards to ensure redundancy, reliability and near-zero downtime. We aim to strengthen our leadership by continuing our investments in this field in the coming years.

Greensteps for the future

As Turkcell, we value not only people but also all living beings and the environment we live in, taking action to leave a livable world for future generations. In this context, we have accelerated our investments in the field of sustainability in order to transform all our businesses into a more environmentally friendly, efficient and sustainable model by using the power of technology. As a company operating in an energy-intensive sector, we meet 100% of our electricity needs from renewable energy-certified sources. We took our efforts in this field even further. By the end of 2024, we completed the installation of our own solar power plants with a total capacity of 54 MW and activated 8.2 MW of it. We aim to increase the installed capacity of the solar power plants, which will be commissioned in 7 different provinces and 11 locations, to 300 MW by the end of 2026. Thus, while we will protect ourselves against possible energy price increases, we will also be one step closer to our goal of becoming a net zero carbon company in 2050.

We are working tirelessly to minimize our impact on the environment and to leave a much more livable world for our children. The ‘Recycle into Education’ project, which has been ongoing since 2019, is a meaningful reflection of this awareness. Within the scope of this project, we collected and recycled a total of approximately 48 tons of techno waste, 14 tons of which were in 2024, and supported more than 450 children to receive education for a year. At the same time, we increased environmental awareness and protected our natural resources by recycling technological waste.

Greatinterest and trust in Turkcell

We achieved a significant success for both our company and our country by issuing a billion USD Eurobond - the largest international bond in Turkcell's history. The 5-year bond with a nominal value of 500 million dollars and the inaugural sustainable bond with a 7-year maturity with a nominal value of 500 million dollars that we issued in January attracted great interest from investors despite the difficult market conditions. This success once again demonstrated Turkcell's financial strength and the trust international investors have in our company and our country. We will use this fund to further strengthen our digital infrastructure and implement our sustainable projects.

2025^5^will be a year in which Turkcell accelerates its investments, focuses on sustainability areas, and closely follows the 5G tender and developments. While we aim to achieve 7%-9% real revenue growth and 41%-42% EBITDA Margin for this year, we expect the operational capex to sales ratio^6^ to be around 24%, taking into account our increasing solar energy, data center and cloud investments. We expect the revenue growth of our data center and cloud business to be in the 32%-34% range.

As Türkiye's Turkcell, we will continue to create value, be a pioneer with exemplary projects, and invest in the future of our country by continuing our investments focused on technology, innovation and sustainability. As Turkcell, we are determined to leave our mark on the future with the transformative power of technology. I extend my heartfelt thanks to all our employees for their contributions to our success and express my gratitude to our Board of Directors for their trust.

Revenueof the Group increased by 7.8% year-on-year in FY24. This was driven mainly by the higher postpaid customer base of Turkcell Türkiye and price adjustments. Additionally, solid momentum in the techfin business supported Group revenue growth.

For the full year, Turkcell Türkiye revenues, comprising 86% of Group revenues, grew 8.3% to TRY143,772 million (TRY132,760 million).

Consumer<br> business rise^4^ was the main driver of Turkcell Türkiye’s performance,<br> achieving 13.0% growth through price adjustments, net additions both in mobile and fixed<br> segments, and upsell efforts.
Corporate<br> revenues^4^ declined by 3.5%. The challenging economic climate, which led to restrained<br> demand, adversely affected the hardware revenues of digital business services, resulting<br> in a 35% contraction. Meanwhile, service revenues recorded 14% growth.
--- ---
Wholesale<br> revenues were down 9.2% to TRY8,443 million (TRY9,298 million).
--- ---

(4) Following the change in the organizational structure, the revenues from sole proprietorship subscribers that we define as Merchant, which were previously managed under the Corporate segment, are being reported under the Consumer segment as of and from the third quarter of 2023. Within this scope, past data has been revised for comparative purposes.

Turkcell International^1^ revenues, comprising 2% of Group revenues, rose 5.9% to TRY4,015 million (TRY3,791 million).

Techfin segment revenues, accounting for 5% of Group revenues, grew by 30.9% to TRY8,634 million (TRY6,596 million), exceeding the decline in the Other segment. Please refer to the Techfin section for details.

Other subsidiaries’ revenues, comprising 6% of Group revenues, which mostly include non-group call center and energy business revenues and consumer electronics sales revenues, decreased by 10.9% to TRY10,251 million (TRY11,506 million).

Costof revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization) decreased to 46.8% (49.6%) as a percentage of revenues for the full year of 2024. This was driven mainly by the decline in cost of goods sold (2.7pp), interconnection cost (1.0pp), energy cost (0.8pp), and other cost items (0.4pp), despite the increase in personnel expenses (1.4pp) and cost of funding (0.7pp) as a percentage of revenues for the full year.

Administrativeexpenses increased to 4.2% (3.2%) as a percentage of revenues for the full year. The primary driver of this increase was the rise in personnel expenses.

Sellingand marketing expenses increased to 6.6% (5.3%) as a percentage of revenues in FY24. The rise in personnel expenses (0.6pp) and marketing expenses (0.6pp) as a percentage of revenues was the main driver of this increase while selling expenses grew in parallel with group revenues.

Netimpairment losses on financial and contract assets were at 0.6% (0.9%) as a percentage of revenues in FY24.

**EBITDA^2^**grew by 10.2% year-on-year in FY24 leading to an EBITDA margin of 41.9% with a 0.9pp improvement (41.0%).

Turkcell<br> Türkiye EBITDA increased 13.2% to TRY66,447 million (TRY58,709 million), leading to<br> an EBITDA margin of 46.2% (44.2%).
Turkcell<br> International EBITDA rose 4.9% to TRY1,473 million (TRY1,405 million), with a slight 0.4pp<br> dilution in the EBITDA margin to 36.7% in FY24.
--- ---
Techfin<br> segment EBITDA declined 6.3% to TRY2,174 million (TRY2,321 million) with a 10pp contraction<br> in EBITDA margin to 25.2% (35.2%). Higher funding costs only led to an 8.6pp drop in the<br> EBITDA margin.
--- ---
- The<br> EBITDA of other subsidiaries was at minus TRY293 million (TRY914 million).
--- ---

Depreciationand amortization expenses increased by 5.3% year-on-year for the full year.

Netfinance costs decreased to TRY797 million (TRY4,983 million) in FY24, including a TRY5.9 billion monetary gain and net FX losses of TRY5.5 billion. This decrease can be primarily attributed to a lower net FX loss due to a shrinking derivative portfolio. The derivative portfolio was reduced primarily due to cash inflows from Ukrainian asset sales and the advantage of holding Turkish Lira over derivative instruments, especially given the TRY's stability against foreign currencies.

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

Otherexpenses decreased to TRY2,326 million (TRY6,880 million) for the full year. Please recall that a donation was made in response to the devastating earthquake centered in Kahramanmaraş in 2023. In the same year, higher litigation expenses were also recorded.

Incometax expense: The income tax expense of TRY4,866 million (positive TRY6,751 million) was reported. This variance can be attributed to two key factors: the reversal of deferred tax income, which had a positive impact in the previous year, and an increase in corporate tax expense. The higher corporate tax expense is primarily a consequence of the company's statutory financials reflecting a tax-paying position in FY24.

Profit/(loss) from discontinued operations of TRY12,428 million (TRY2,844 million) was recorded for this year. This figure includes Ukrainian asset sales.

(1) As per our Company’s announcement on September 9, 2024, we no longer hold any shares in companies operating in Ukraine as of Q324.

(2) EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See page 16 for the explanation of how we calculate adjusted EBITDA and its reconciliation to net income.

Netincome of the Group increased by 29.8% to TRY23.523 million (TRY18.125 million) in FY24. Strong revenue and EBITDA performance, along with proceeds from the sale of our Ukrainian assets, positively impacted net income, while income tax expense, partially offset by lower net finance costs, had a negative impact.

Totalcash & debt: Consolidated cash as of December 31, 2024, decreased to TRY68,934 million compared to TRY72,159 million as of December 31, 2023. This decrease reflects the TRY6.3 billion dividend payment made on December 5, 2024. We also strategically invested in instruments classified under financial assets in the balance sheet to enhance the utilization of our cash. Excluding FX swap transactions, 51% of our cash is in US$, 22% in EUR, 3% in CNY, and 24% in TRY.

Consolidated debt as of December 31, 2024, decreased to TRY104,340 million from TRY121,400 million as of December 31, 2023. Please note that TRY4,823 million of our consolidated debt is comprised of lease obligations. Note, too, that 43% of our consolidated debt is in US$, 32% in EUR, 4% in CNY, and 20% in TRY.

Net debt^1^, as of December 31, 2024, decreased to TRY9,975 million from TRY34,367 million as of December 31, 2023, with a net debt to EBITDA ratio of 0.14x.

Turkcell Group had a short net FX position of US$124 million at the end of the year (Please note that this figure takes hedging portfolio and advance payments into account). The short FX position of US$124 million is in line with our FX neutral definition, which is between -US$200 million and +US$200 million.

Capitalexpenditures: Capital expenditures, including non-operational items, were at TRY54,818 million in FY24.

For the full year, operational capital expenditures (excluding license fees) at the Group level were at 22.8% of total revenues.

(1) The net debt calculation includes "financial assets” reported under current and non-current assets. Required reserves held in CBRT balances are also considered in net debt calculation. We believe that these assets are highly liquid and can be easily converted to cash without significant change in value.

Turkcell Türkiye's subscriber base reached 43.1 million in 2024, with a net increase of 578 thousand. We have achieved 3.7 million net subscriber additions over the past three years thanks to our superior infrastructure, a wide range of solutions tailored to customer preferences, and our pioneering campaigns designed to simplify their lives, as well as the unique customer experience provided and our analytical capabilities.

In FY24, our mobile postpaid subscriber base experienced substantial growth, reaching 29.1 million with a remarkable 1.9 million net additions—the highest in 15 years. Accordingly, postpaid subscribers account for 76.0% (71.5%) of our mobile segment as of the end of 2024. The growth in postpaid subscribers is one of the key drivers of mobile ARPU growth, as these customers typically generate higher revenue than prepaid subscribers. Concurrently, our prepaid subscriber base decreased to 9.2 million, primarily driven by the widespread usage of alternative data solutions (e-SIM) and the routine disconnection of inactive prepaid subscribers during the quarter, in line with our churn policy. The competitive environment, which intensified in May and peaked in December, drove the MNP market to unprecedented highs. While our mobile churn rate in the fourth quarter of the year exceeded that of the same period last year, the annual churn rate remained stable at 2% throughout the year thanks to our successful subscriber retention strategy.

11

Our mobile ARPU (excluding M2M) rose 10.4% year-on-year in FY24. This performance is primarily attributable to price adjustments, upsell efforts and the expansion of our postpaid subscriber base.

On the fixed front, the demand for our high-speed and pure fiber service resulted in 168 thousand subscriber net additions for the full year. The growing interest in high-speed internet packages continued this quarter, with the proportion of residential fiber subscribers opting for 100 Mbps or faster tariffs increasing by 12 percentage points year-over-year, exceeding 41%. Starting in the fourth quarter, we began offering fiber tariffs over the incumbent’s infrastructure in addition to DSL. As of this quarter, we will categorize our fixed broadband subscribers as “Turkcell Fiber” and “Resell Fixed Broadband.”

Residential fiber ARPU recorded 13.6% growth on a yearly basis, supported by the expansion of 12-month contracts to 85% of residential fiber customers, higher demand for packages of 100 Mbps and above, and our price adjustments.

Average monthly mobile data usage per user rose 7.1% year-on-year to 18.2 GB, with the increasing number and data consumption of 4.5G users in FY24. Accordingly, the average mobile data usage of 4.5G users reached 19.2 GB in FY24.

By the end of 2024, total smartphone penetration on our network had reached 91%. Ninety-five percent of those smartphones were 4.5G compatible.

EBITDA Margin (%) 42.5 % 43.0 % 0.5 pp
Net Income 74.5 696.4 834.8 %

Paycell registered a remarkable performance in FY24, achieving 25.0% year-on-year revenue growth. Mobile payment, money transfer, and POS services were the main drivers of this success. The strong performance of POS solutions stemmed from new customer acquisition and increased transaction volume. As of 2024, POS solutions became the second-largest revenue vertical for Paycell. A significant part of Paycell’s growth came from services provided to non-group customers. Non-group revenues account for 57% of the total Paycell topline, highlighting Paycell’s expanding market reach beyond its existing ecosystem.

The transaction volume (non-group) of the Pay Later service reached around TRY12 billion in FY24, which was utilized by increased ticket size, non-group subscribers and QR code payments. Meanwhile, the Paycell Card transaction volume increased 77% year-on-year to TRY26.9 billion in FY24. In addition, the POS service, which is becoming increasingly widespread, is a catalyst for Paycell, and saw its volume increase by 88% in FY24.

EBITDA Margin (%) 34.2 % 14.9 % (19.3 )pp
Net loss (1,178.8 ) (145.0 ) (87.7 )%

(1) Following the change in the organizational structure, the revenues of Turkcell Sigorta Aracılık Hizmetleri A.Ş. (Insurance Agency), which was previously managed under Financell, have been classified from Financell to "Other" in the Techfin segment as of the first quarter of 2023. Within this scope, all past data have been revised for comparability purposes.

Financell's revenue increased by 32.8%, driven by higher average interest rates and an expanding loan portfolio. The primary factor behind the decline in EBITDA margin compared to the previous year was increased funding costs. The net loss improved, primarily due to the earthquake donation that led to a high net loss in 2023.

Financell successfully navigated a challenging macroeconomic environment and maintained its market leadership in terms of customer number within the financing sector. This success is reflected in TRY 14.8 billion of new loans issued, with a loan portfolio of TRY6.6 billion at year-end. In 2024, Financell commenced a personalized pricing strategy that enables catering to wider customer segments, thereby contributing to portfolio growth. Financell also focused on small business device loans this year, bringing the total corporate loans to over 69.4 thousand to date. The cost of risk increased to 2.9% in 2024 from 1.6% in 2023, which is in line with banking sector trends despite the additional impact of the restriction on our collection from invoices.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASUREMENTS:

We believe Adjusted EBITDA, among other measures,facilitates performance comparisons from period to period and management decision making. It also facilitates performance comparisonsfrom company to company. Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure eliminates potential differences caused by variations in capital structures(affecting interest expense), tax positions (such as the impact of changes in effective tax rates on periods or companies) and the ageand book depreciation of tangible and intangible assets (affecting relative depreciation expense and amortization expense). We also presentAdjusted EBITDA because we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluatingthe performance of other mobile operators in the telecommunications industry in Europe, many of which present Adjusted EBITDA when reportingtheir results.

Our Adjusted EBITDA definition includes Revenue,Cost of Revenue excluding depreciation and amortization, Selling and Marketing expenses, Administrative expenses and Net impairment losseson financial and contract assets, but excludes finance income and expense, other operating income and expense, investment activity incomeand expense, share of profit of equity accounted investees and minority interest.

Nevertheless, Adjusted EBITDA has limitationsas 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 preparedin accordance with IFRS to net profit, which we believe is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented inaccordance with IFRS.

RECONCILIATION OF ARPU: ARPU is anoperational measurement tool and the methodology for calculating performance measures such as ARPU varies substantially among operatorsand is not standardized across the telecommunications industry, and reported performance measures thus vary from those that may resultfrom the use of a single methodology. Management believes this measure 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 for2023 and 2024.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATEDFINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As at and for the yearended 31 December 2024

(All amounts disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest thousand currency units and are expressed in terms of purchasing power of Turkish Lira as of 31 December 2024 unless otherwise stated.)

1. Reporting entity

Turkcell Iletisim Hizmetleri Anonim Sirketi (the "Company" or "Turkcell") was incorporated in Turkiye on 5 October 1993 and commenced its operations in 1994. The address of the Company's registered office is Maltepe Aydinevler Mahallesi Inonu Caddesi No: 20, Kucukyali Ofispark/Istanbul. It is engaged in establishing and operating a Global System for Mobile Communications ("GSM") network in Turkiye and regional states.

In April 1998, the Company signed a license agreement (the "2G License") with the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure of Turkiye (the "Turkish Ministry"), under which it was granted a 25-year GSM license in exchange for a license fee of USD 500,000. The License permits the Company to operate as a stand-alone GSM operator and releases it from some of the operating constraints in the Revenue Sharing Agreement, which was in effect prior to the 2G License. Under 2G license, the Company pays in cash the Undersecretariat of the Treasury (the "Turkish Treasury") a monthly tax levy, namely a 'treasury share' equal to 15% of the Company's gross revenue from Turkish GSM operations. The Company continues to build and operate its GSM network and is authorized to, among other things, set its own tariffs within certain limits, charge peak and off-peak rates, offer a variety of service and pricing packages, issue invoices directly to subscribers, collect payments and deal directly with subscribers. Following the 3G tender held by the Information Technologies and Communications Authority ("ICTA") regarding the authorization for providing IMT-2000/UMTS services and infrastructure, the Company has been granted the A-Type license (the "3G License") providing the widest frequency band, at a consideration of EUR 358,000 (excluding Value Added Tax ("VAT")). Payment of the 3G license was made in cash, following the necessary approvals, on 30 April 2009.

On 7 April 2023, the Company and ICTA agreed for the extension the 2G License (which was valid until 27 April 2023). With this extension, 2G License validity has been extended to 30 April 2029 for a consideration of EUR 120 million (plus EUR 21.6 million of value-added taxes). The initial payment which includes the down payment for the extension fee and total amount of value-added taxes, amounting to EUR 81.6 million has been paid in Turkish Lira at the amount of TRY 1.7 billion during 2023. On April 2024, approximately half of the remaining installments amounting to EUR 31.1 million have been paid in Turkish Lira at the amount of TRY 1.1 billion. The remaining amount will be paid within a year.

On 26 August 2015, "Authorization Tender on IMT Services and Infrastructure" publicly known as "4.5G license" tender, was held by the ICTA and the Company was awarded with a total frequency band of 172.4 MHz for 13 years. The tender price is EUR 1,623,460 (excluding VAT of 18%). IMT authorization period expires on 30 April 2029 and operators were able to commence service delivery for 4.5G starting from 1 April 2016. 2x1.4 MHz frequency band in 900MHz spectrum and 2 units of 2x5 MHz frequency bands in 2100 MHz spectrum were commenced on 1 December 2015, while remaining packages were commenced on 1 April 2016.

The Company is obliged to pay the ICTA a monthly treasury shares equal to 90% of 15% of gross revenue and 10% is paid for a universal service fund. In addition, the Company pays annual contributions in an amount equal to 0.35% of net revenue to the ICTA' s expenses and 5% of net revenue to ICTA as a frequency fee (TRx).

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATEDFINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As at and for the yearended 31 December 2024

(All amounts disclosed in the consolidated financial statements and notes have been rounded off to the nearest thousand currency units and are expressed in terms of purchasing power of Turkish Lira as of 31 December 2024 unless otherwise stated.)

2. Basis of preparation and summary of material accounting policies

This note provides a list of the material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements to the extent they have not already been disclosed in the other notes below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The consolidated financial statements are for the Group consisting of the Company and its subsidiaries and the Group's interest in an associate and a joint venture.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are based on the statutory records, with adjustments and reclassifications for the purpose of fair presentation in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB. The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following measured at fair value:

- Derivative<br> financial instruments,
- Financial<br> asset at fair value through profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
(a) Compliance with IFRS
--- ---

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee ("IFRICs") applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The financial statements comply with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").

The accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding reporting period, unless otherwise stated.

The General Assembly has the power to amend and reissue the financial statements. The consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2024 were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on 27 February 2025.

(b) Restatement of financial statements during the hyperinflationary periods

The financial statements of the Company and those of the subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures located in Turkiye and Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus for the year ended 31 December 2024 were restated for the changes in the general purchasing power of Turkish Lira, which is their functional currency, based on International Accounting Standard No. 29 ("IAS 29") "Financial Reporting in HyperinflationaryEconomies". IAS 29 requires that financial statements prepared in the currency of a hyperinflationary economy be stated in terms of the measuring unit current at the balance sheet date and that corresponding figures for previous periods be restated in the same terms.

One characteristic that necessitates the application of IAS 29 is a cumulative three-year inflation rate approaching or exceeding 100%. Cumulative three-year inflation rate in Turkiye reached 290.8% as at 31 December 2024, based on the Turkish nation-wide Consumer Price Index ("CPI") announced by the Turkish Statistical Institute ("TSI"). However, IAS 29 does not establish the rate of 100% as an absolute rate at which hyperinflation is deemed to arise. It is a matter of judgment when restatement of financial statements in accordance with IAS 29 becomes necessary. Moreover, hyperinflation is also indicated by characteristics of the economic environment of a country.

(b) Restatement of financial statements during the hyperinflationary periods (continued)
--- ---

The financial statements of the Company and those of the subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures located in Turkiye and Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus for the year ended 31 December 2024 were restated for the changes in the general purchasing power of Turkish Lira, which is their functional currency, based on International Accounting Standard No. 29 ("IAS 29") "Financial Reporting in HyperinflationaryEconomies". IAS 29 requires that financial statements prepared in the currency of a hyperinflationary economy be stated in terms of the measuring unit current at the balance sheet date and that corresponding figures for previous periods be restated in the same terms.

The table below shows the evolution of CPI in the last three years and as of 31 December 2024:

2024 2023 2022 2021
Annual Index 2,684.55 1,859.38 1,128.45 686.95
Average Index 2,360.03 1,488.91 967.71 561.61
Yearly Inflation 44.4 % 64.8 % 64.3 % 36.1 %
Cumulative Inflation (last three years) 290.8 % 268.3 % 156.2 % 74.4 %

In a period of inflation, an entity holding an excess of monetary assets over monetary liabilities loses purchasing power and an entity with an excess of monetary liabilities over monetary assets gains purchasing power to the extent the assets and liabilities are not linked to a price level. The gain or loss on the net monetary position is included in the statement of profit or loss as monetary gain (loss) item.

The Company restated all the non-monetary items in order to reflect the impact of the inflation restatement reporting in terms of the measuring unit current as of 31 December 2024. Consequently, the main items restated were Property, Plant and Equipment, Intangible assets, Right-of-Use Assets, Inventories Investments in Equity Accounted Associate and Joint Venture and the Equity items.

Monetary items have not been restated because they are stated in terms of the measuring unit current as of 31 December 2024.

Comparative figures must also be presented in the current currency of 31 December 2024 and are restated using the general price index of the current year. Therefore, all comparative figures for the previous reporting periods have been restated, including foreign subsidiaries, by applying a general price index, so that the resulting comparative financial statements are presented in terms of the current unit of measurement as of the closing date of the reporting period.

In the statement of profit or loss, except for depreciation and amortization which is calculated using inflation adjusted asset basis, items are restated from the dates when the items of income and expense were initially recorded. The Group uses monthly general price index for this purpose.

Similar to statement of profit or loss, all items in the statement of other comprehensive income are expressed in terms of the measuring unit current at balance sheet date. Therefore, all amounts are restated by applying the change in the general price index from the dates when the items of income and expenses were initially recorded in the financial statements. Impact of inflation accounting on hedging reserve and cost of hedging reserve is transferred to retained earnings when hyperinflation accounting is ceased.

2. Basis of preparation and summary of material accounting policies (continued)
(b) Restatement of financial statements during the hyperinflationary periods (continued)
--- ---

All items except those arising from foreign operations in the statement of cash flows are expressed in a measuring unit current at the balance sheet date.

The subsidiaries that use functional currencies other than Turkish Lira (foreign companies with economies that are not considered to be hyperinflationary), do not apply IAS 29 (except for the adjustment of inflation for comparative presentation). The Group restates all comparative consolidated results and financial position in terms of the measuring unit current at the reporting date. The effect arising from the restatement of the beginning of the period net assets of the subsidiaries operating in the related foreign countries to the current period-end purchasing power for presentation purposes due to inflation accounting is reflected in foreign currency translation differences.

(c) Functional and presentation currency
(i) Transactions and balances
--- ---

Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at that date.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated to the functional currency using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Exchange differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss.

Foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss, except:

· For<br> capitalized foreign exchange differences relating to borrowings to the extent that they are<br> regarded as an adjustment to interest costs eligible for capitalization.
· Foreign<br> exchange differences are deferred in equity if they relate to qualifying cash flow hedges<br> and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in<br> a foreign operation.
--- ---
· Foreign<br> exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of profit or loss on a net basis<br> within finance income or finance costs.
--- ---
(ii) Foreign operations
--- ---

The results and financial position of foreign operations (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

· Assets<br> and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the<br> date of that balance sheet,
· Equity<br> for each balance sheet presented is translated at historic cost at the date of transaction,
--- ---
· Income<br> and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and statement of comprehensive income are<br> translated at average monthly exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation<br> of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case<br> income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions) and
--- ---
· All<br> resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated<br> in the foreign currency translation reserve, in equity.

When a foreign operation is sold, the associated exchange differences are reclassified<br> to profit or loss, as part of the gain or loss on sale.
--- ---
· Foreign<br> currency translation differences reclassified to the statement of profit or loss on disposal<br> of a subsidiary are foreign currency translation differences arising on the conversion from<br> the functional currency of the subsidiary sold to TL, which is the functional currency of<br> the Group.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate.

(d) Use of estimates and judgments

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires the use of accounting estimates. Management also needs to exercise judgment in applying the Group's accounting policies. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Alterations to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Information about significant areas of estimation, uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements are described below:

Allowance for doubtfulreceivables

For trade receivables and contract assets the Group applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses (ECL) prescribed in IFRS 9, which requires the use of the lifetime expected loss provision. The Group performed the calculation of ECL rates separately for individual, corporate and wholesale customers. The ECLs were calculated based on actual credit loss experience over the past years. Exposures within each group were segmented based on common credit risk characteristics such as delinquency status. Future collection performance of receivables is estimated by considering general economic conditions to incorporate forward looking information to the expected credit loss calculations.

The Group also applies the general approach defined in IFRS 9 for the recognition of impairment losses on receivables from financial services, carried at amortized cost. Group appropriately classifies its financial instruments considering common risk factors (such as the type of the instrument, credit risk rating, guarantees, time to maturity and sector) to determine whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly and to account appropriate amount of credit losses in the consolidated financial statements.

Capitalization and usefullives of assets

The Group evaluates the nature of the capitalized asset for its property, plant and equipment and intangible assets within the scope of IAS 16 and IAS 38 standards, and accordingly, the related assets are depreciated from the date at which the assets are ready for use. The useful lives of such assets depend on management's view, considering historical experience with similar products as well as anticipation of future events which may impact their life such as changes in technology.

2. Basis of preparation and summary of material accounting policies (continued)
(d) Use of estimates and judgments (continued)
--- ---

Capitalization and useful lives of assets (continued)

The useful lives and residual values of the Group's assets are estimated by management at the time the asset is acquired and regularly reviewed for appropriateness. The Group defines useful lives of its assets in terms of the assets' expected utility to the Group. This judgment is based on the experience of the Group with similar assets. In determining the useful life of an asset, the Group also follows technical and/or commercial obsolescence arising on changes or improvements from a change in the market. The useful lives of the telecommunication licenses are based on the duration of the license agreements.

Gross versus net presentationof revenue

When the Group sells goods or services as a principal, revenue and operating costs are recorded on a gross basis. When the Group sells goods or services as an agent, revenue and operating costs are recorded on a net basis, representing the net margin earned. Whether the Group is considered to be acting as principal or agent in the transaction depends on management's analysis described below and such judgments impact the amount of reported revenue and operating costs but do not impact reported assets, liabilities or cash flows:

Indicators that an entity is a principal:

· The entity<br> is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to provide the specified good or service,
· The<br> entity has inventory risk before the specified good or service has been transferred to a<br> customer or after transfer of control to the customer,
--- ---
· The entity<br> has discretion in establishing the price for the specified good or service.
--- ---

Contracted handset sales

The Company, the distributors and dealers offer joint campaigns to the subscribers which may include the sale of device by the dealer and/or distributor and a communication service to be provided by the Company. The Company recognizes revenue on net basis, representing the net margin earned, for the device in these transactions by considering the factors below:

- The<br> Company is not the primary obligor for the sale of handset,
- The<br> Company does not have control over the sale prices of handsets,
- The<br> Company has no inventory risk.

In all other cases, where above factors do not exist, the Company recognizes revenue gross. Multiple performance obligations and price allocation

In arrangements which include multiple elements where the Group acts as principal, the Group considers that a good or service is distinct if both of the following criteria are met:

· The<br> good or service is capable of being distinct, which is considered present if it is frequently<br> sold on standalone basis by the Group or other third parties,
· The<br> promise to transfer the good or service is distinct within the context of the contract, which<br> is considered present if there is no significant integration that combines the goods or services.
--- ---

Revenue is recognized at the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the performance obligation. The transaction price is allocated between the identified obligations according to the relative standalone selling prices of the obligations. The determination of standalone selling prices for the telecommunications services that are regularly sold on an individual basis by the Group, are not considered to be a critical accounting judgement since the Group uses the actual standalone price of similar services sold by itself in similar circumstances. However, in cases where the identical goods or services are not sold by the Group, stand-alone selling prices for similar goods and services sold by third parties are observed for the estimation purpose.

Income taxes

The calculation of income taxes involves a degree of estimation and judgment in respect of certain items whose tax treatment cannot be finally determined until resolution has been reached with the relevant tax authority or, as appropriate, through formal legal process.

As part of the process of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Group is required to estimate the income taxes in each of the jurisdictions and countries in which it operates. This process involves estimating the actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as deferred revenue and reserves for tax and accounting purposes.

The recognition of deferred tax assets is based upon whether it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which unrecognized tax losses and temporary differences can be utilized. Recognition, therefore, involves judgment regarding the future financial performance of the particular legal entity in which the deferred tax asset has been recognized.

Provisions, contingentliabilities and contingent assets

As detailed and disclosed in Note 32, the Group is involved in a number of investigations and legal proceedings (both as a plaintiff and as a defendant) arising in the ordinary course of business. All these investigations and litigations are evaluated by the Group Management and when it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation, they are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements. For ongoing investigations, Group Management considers the following in determining if a provision should be recognized and the amount of provision needed; i) actual results of investigations in similar nature, ii) information gathered from investigating regulators during oral defense or other meetings, iii) publicly available information about developments at similar investigations completed by the investigating authority. Future results or outcome of these investigations and litigations might differ from these Group Management's expectations.

All significant investigations and litigations are disclosed unless possibility of outflow is considered remote (and where information concerning provisions are very sensitive, and full disclosure could prejudice the outcome of cases). As at the reporting date, the Group Management believes that appropriate recognition criteria and measurement basis are applied to provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets and that sufficient information is disclosed in the notes to enable users to understand their nature, timing and amount by considering current conditions and circumstances.

Asset Retirement Obligation

The Group recognize dismantling cost for towers and base stations and provision for site restoration in the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment where the company has such a legal or constructive obligation. The dismantling costs are calculated according to best estimate of future expected payments discounted at a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. Net present value of dismantling cost is recognized as cost of the item of property, plant and equipment in non-current assets and as a long-term provision in non-current liability. Depreciation is calculated by using the same useful life relating to that asset and discount interest expense is recognized under finance cost in the statement of profit or loss. The Group expects that the obligations for dismantling, removing and site restoration will not be realized before the associated assets' end of useful life. Obligations for dismantling, removing and site restoration are discounted using a discount rate of 9.5% —31.2% at 31 December 2024 (31 December 2023: 11.5% -29.6%)

(d) Use of estimates and judgments (continued)

Floating rate loans and borrowings

For floating—rate loans and borrowings, The Group calculates the effective interest rate("EIR") based on a market—derived yield curve applicable for the entire life of the instrument. While applying this approach, the calculated EIR is applied until estimated future cash flows are revised, at which point a new EIR is calculated based on the revised cash flow expectations and the current carrying amount.

(e) Changes in accounting policies

Other than the adoption of the new and revised standards as explained in Note 2(z), the Group did not make any significant changes to its accounting policies during the current year.

(f) Changes in accounting estimates

If the application of changes in the accounting estimates affects the financial results of a specific period, the changes in the accounting estimates are applied in that specific period, if they affect the financial results of current and following periods; the accounting estimate is applied prospectively in the period in which such change is made. A change in the measurement basis applied is a change in an accounting policy, and is not a change in an accounting estimate.

The Company does not have significant changes in accounting estimates during the year.

(g) 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.

During 2024, the Group has discontinued the application of cash flow hedge accounting for significant counts of instruments (Note 34), where reclassifications from other comprehensive income to profit or loss frequently occur. Following this, the Group has reassessed their presentation of line items in the statement of other comprehensive income and considered that combining line items presenting movements of the same nature would be more relevant. As a result, the Group now present single lines for each of foreign currency translation differences, cash flow hedges, and cost of hedges as net in the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income, which includes the amounts reclassified to profit or loss. This combined presentation is presented for the year ended 31 December 2024, 2023 and 2022. This change has not affected the total amount of other comprehensive income or expenses. Amounts reclassified to profit or loss cand be found in the related footnotes (Note 9 and Note 3).

Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognized for non-controlling interests. The Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquired entity's net identifiable assets.

Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity's incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.

Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss.

(ii) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries comprise all entities over which the Group has control. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.

The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset.

Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of profit or loss, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of financial position, respectively.

(iii) Changes in ownership interests

The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to the non-controlling and any consideration paid or received is recognized in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of the Company.

(iv) Business combinations undercommon control
--- ---

Business combinations between entities or businesses under common control are excluded from the scope of IFRS 3. In a business combination under common control, assets and liabilities of the acquired entity are stated at predecessor carrying values. Any difference between the consideration given and the aggregate book value of the assets and liabilities of the acquired entity at the date of the transaction is recognized in equity. The acquired entity's results and financial position are incorporated as if both entities (acquirer and acquiree) had always been combined, or using the results from the date when either entity joined the Group, where such a date is later.

(v) Investments in associates andjoint ventures

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence, but not control or joint control. This is generally the case where the Group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method of accounting after initially being recognized at cost.

The accounting policies of both companies are aligned with those of the Group. Therefore, no adjustments are made when measuring and recognizing the Group's share of the profit or loss of the investees after the date of acquisition.

There is no significant goodwill included in the carrying value of associate or joint venture.

Under the equity method of accounting, an investment in an associate is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group's share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of the investee in profit or loss, and the Group's share of movements in other comprehensive income of the investee in other comprehensive income.

The carrying amount of equity-accounted investments is tested for impairment if impairment indicators exist.

2. Basis of preparation and summaryof material accounting policies (continued)
(i) Financial instruments
--- ---

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

Financial Assets

The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset's contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group's business model for managing them. The Group initially measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs.

In order for a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are ‘solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)' on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level. Financial assets with cash flows that are not SPPI are classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss, irrespective of the business model.

The Group's business model for managing financial assets refers to how it manages its financial assets in order to generate cash flows. The business model determines whether cash flows will result from collecting contractual cash flows, selling the financial assets, or both. Financial assets classified and measured at amortized cost are held to collect contractual cash flows while financial assets classified and measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are held to collect contractual cash flows and selling.

i) Subsequent measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified in four categories:

·    Financial assets at amortized cost (debt instruments)

·    Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income with recycling of cumulative gains and losses (debt instruments)

·    Financial assets designated at fair value through other comprehensive income with no recycling of cumulative gains and losses upon derecognition (equity instruments)

·    Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

(ii) Financial assets at amortizedcost (debt instruments)

Financial assets at amortized cost are subsequently measured using EIR method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized, modified or impaired.

The Group's financial assets at amortized cost includes time deposits with maturity more than three months. For more information, refer to Note 24.

(iii) Financial assets at fair valuethrough other comprehensive income (debt instruments)

For debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, interest income, foreign exchange revaluation and impairment losses or reversals are recognized in the statement of profit or loss and computed in the same manner as for financial assets measured at amortized cost. The remaining fair value changes are recognized in other comprehensive income. Upon derecognition, the cumulative fair value change recognized in other comprehensive income is recycled to profit or loss.

The Group's debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income includes investments in listed debt securities. For more information, refer to Note 24.

Financial Assets (continued)

(iv) Financial assets at fair valuethrough profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value with net changes in fair value recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

This category includes investment funds, and currency protected time deposits which the Group were irrevocably designated at fair value through profit or loss.

When an investment in an associate or a joint venture is held by, or is held indirectly through, an entity that is a venture capital organization, or a mutual fund, unit trust and similar entities including investment-linked insurance funds, the entity may elect to measure that investment at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9.Thus, the Group elect to measure all investments held by RE-PIE Portfoy Yonetim A.S Turkcell Yeni Teknolojiler Girisim Sermayesi ("Turkcell GSYF") at fair value through profit or loss. For more information, refer to Note 24.

(v) Impairment

The Group assesses on a forward-looking basis ECL associated with its debt instruments carried at amortized cost and fair value through other comprehensive income. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

Loss allowances are measured on either of the following bases.

· 12<br> month expected credit losses (ECLs): these are ECLs that result from possible default events<br> within the 12 months after the reporting date and
· Lifetime<br> ECLs: these are ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life<br> of a financial instrument.
--- ---

All Group companies apply simplified lifetime ECL measurement for trade receivables and contract assets except Turkcell Finansman which applies the general approach for trade receivable and contract assets.

Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of presentation in the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

(i) Sale and Repurchase Agreements

Securities purchased under agreements to resell ("Reverse Repo") are classified and measured at amortized cost with the objective to collect contractual cash flows that are SPPI. Reverse repo transactions are recognized as cash and cash equivalents because they have short-term maturity and is readily convertible to a known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Central Bank Accounts

According to the "Regulation on Required Reserves (Issue: 2013/15)" published in the Official Gazette No. 31818 on 23April 2022, the required reserve ratio for assets subject to required reserves has been set at 20% as of 31 December 2024. As for the liabilities subject to required reserves, the rates for Turkish lira required reserves are between 3% and 8% depending on the maturity structure, while the rates for foreign currency required reserves are between 5% and 26%, depending on the maturity structure. (As of 31 December 2023: 5% - 21%). Required reserves are reported as restricted cash under other current assets (Note 17)

Trade receivables

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection of the amounts is expected in one year or less, they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.

Current trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at the transaction price, less provision for impairment. When the period between the transfer of the promised good or service and the payment is one year or less, the Group applies the practical expedient and does not adjust the consideration for the effects of a significant financing component. However, non-current trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using EIR method, less provision for impairment. See Note 35 for a description of the Group's impairment policies.

Related parties

A related party is a person or entity that is related to the Group.

(a) A person or a close member of that person's family is related to the Group if that person:

(i) Financial instruments (continued) Financial liabilities
--- ---

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

The Group's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans and borrowings, and derivative financial instruments.

(i) Subsequent measurement

For purposes of subsequent measurement, financial liabilities are classified in two categories:

·   Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

·   Financial liabilities at amortized cost (loans and borrowings)

(ii) Financial liabilities at fairvalue through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial instruments entered into by the Group that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by IFRS 9. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

(iii) Financial liabilities at amortizedcost (loans and borrowings)

After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process.

Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit or loss. For more information, refer to Note 28.

(iv) Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of profit or loss.

Offsetting financial assets and financial liabilities

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position where the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts, and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(j) Derivative financial instrumentsand hedge accounting

Derivative instruments are initially recognized at the acquisition cost reflecting the fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. The derivative instruments of the Group mainly consist of participating cross currency swap contracts which is a cross-currency swap product featuring both buy and sell option structures, cross currency /interest rate swap contracts, foreign currency swap contracts and currency forward contracts instruments. These derivative transactions, even though providing effective economic hedges under the Group risk management position, do not generally qualify for hedge accounting under the specific rules and are therefore treated as derivatives held for trading in the consolidated financial statements. The fair value changes for these derivatives are recognized in the consolidated income statement.

Fair values of foreign exchange forwards, interest rate and foreign exchange swaps (IRS, Cross Currency Swaps etc.) and options are calculated with market levels of interest rates and Central Bank of Republic of Turkiye ("CBRT") exchange rates via valuation methods and pricing instruments correspondent with market standards. If market levels are not available for valuation date, fair value for forward contracts will be the value of the discounted future value of the difference between contract price level and forward value of CBRT exchange rate with risk free rates for the period. Interest rate and currency swaps will be valued with the difference of the discounted cash flows of each leg of the swaps using risk free rates and CBRT exchange rates. Option transactions will be valued with option pricing models using risk free rates and CBRT exchange rates.

At inception of the hedge relationship, the Group documents the economic relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items including whether changes in the cash flows of the hedging instruments are expected to offset changes in the cash flows of hedged items. The Group documents its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking its hedge transactions. The hedging transactions of the Group that qualify for hedge accounting are accounted for as follows:

(i) Fair value hedge

Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualified as fair value hedges are recorded in the income statement, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk. The change in the fair value of hedged asset or liability attributable to the hedged risk is recorded as part of the carrying value of the hedged asset or liability during the effective hedging relationship. If the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the adjustment to the carrying amount of a hedged item, for which the effective interest method is used, is amortized using a recalculated effective interest rate.

Fair value hedge accounting has not been applied as of 31 December 2024 and 2023.

(j) Derivative financial instrumentsand hedging accounting (continued)
--- ---
(ii) Cash flow hedge
--- ---

Hedges of exposures to variability in cash flows that are attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction and could affect profit and loss are designated as cash flow hedges by the Group in accordance with IFRS 9 hedge accounting requirement. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in the cash flow hedge reserve within equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit or loss. Gains or losses relating to the effective portion of the change in intrinsic value of the options are recognized in the cash flow hedge reserve within equity. The changes in the time value of the options that relate to the hedged item ("aligned time value") are recognized within other comprehensive income in the costs of hedging reserve within equity.

Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss, as follows:

  • Where the hedged item subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset, both the deferred hedging gains and losses and the deferred time value of the option contracts or deferred forward points, if any, are included within the initial cost of the asset. The deferred amounts are ultimately recognized in profit or loss as the hedged item affects profit or loss.

  • The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of the interest rate swaps hedging variable rate borrowings is recognized in profit or loss within finance cost at the same time as the interest expense on the hedged borrowings.

The new effectiveness test model may be qualitative depending on the complexity of hedging relationship provided that it is prospective only. The 80-125% range in IAS 39 is replaced by an objectives-based test that focuses on the economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, and the effect of credit risk on that economic relationship.

Under IFRS 9, at inception of the hedge relationship, the Group documents the economic relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items including whether changes in the cash flows of the hedging instruments are expected to offset changes in the cash flows of hedged items. The Group documents its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking its hedge transactions.

Hedging relationship is discontinued in its entirety when as a whole it ceases to meet the qualifying criteria after considering the rebalancing of the hedging relationship. Voluntary discontinuation is not done, as its prohibited by IFRS 9. Hedge accounting is discontinued when the risk management objective for the hedging relationship has changed, the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, there is no longer an economic relationship between the hedged item and hedging instrument or when the effect of credit risk starts dominating the value changes that result from the economic relationship.

When the Group discontinues hedge accounting for a cash flow hedge it accounts for the amount that has been accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve as follows;

  • If the hedged future cash flows are still expected to occur, that amount shall remain in the cash flow hedge reserve until the future cash flows occur. That amount shall be reclassified from the cash flow hedge reserve to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment in the same period or periods during which the expected future cash flows affect profit or loss.

  • If the hedged future cash flows are no longer expected to occur, that amount shall be immediately reclassified from the cash flow hedge reserve to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment

  • If cash flow hedge accounting is discontinued for a time-period related hedge relationship for which change in time value of options is recognized in the costs of hedging, the amount recognized in cost of hedging reserve in equity immediately reclassified to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment.

Tax effects of foreign exchange gains or losses on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the foreign currency hedge of net investments in foreign operations is recognized under other comprehensive income as well (Note 34).

(k) Property, plant and equipment
(i) Recognition and measurement
--- ---

Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost adjusted for the effects of inflation during the hyperinflationary period, where applicable, less depreciation and impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes cost of materials and direct labor, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located, if any.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss.

Changes in the obligation to dismantle, remove assets on sites and to restore sites on which they are located, other than changes deriving from the passing of time, are added or deducted from the cost of the assets in the period in which they occur. The amount deducted from the cost of the asset cannot exceed the balance of the carrying amount on the date of change, and any excess balance is recognized immediately in profit or loss. An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

(ii) Subsequent costs

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of any component accounted for as a separate asset is derecognized when replaced. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

(iii) Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives.

Land is not depreciated.

IRUs are recognized as intangible asset when the Group has specific indefeasible rights to use an identified portion of an underlying asset and the duration of the right is for the major part of the underlying asset's useful economic life. IRUs are amortized over the shorter of the underlying asset's useful economic life and the contract term.

Amortization

Amortization is recognized in the statement of profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives. The ranges of the estimated useful lives for other intangible assets are as follows:

Indefeasible right-of-use 15 years
Transmission line software 5–10 years
Brand name 9–10 years
Customer base 2–15 years
Subscriber acquisition cost 2–6 years
Electricity production license 20 years

Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. Useful lives of subscriber acquisition cost are determined based on expected subscriber lifetimes.

(I) Intangibleassets (continued)
--- ---

Goodwill

Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Goodwill is not amortized but it is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. It is carried at cost adjusted for the effects of inflation during the hyperinflationary period (when it is arising from acquisition of a business whose functional currency is hyperinflationary), less accumulated impairment losses. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

(m) Investmentproperties

Recognition and measurement

Investment properties are properties held for rental yields and/or for capital appreciation (including property under construction for such purposes). Investment properties are stated at historical cost adjusted for the effects of inflation during the hyperinflationary period, where applicable, less depreciation and impairment losses.

An investment property is derecognized upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from the disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the property (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in profit or loss in the period in which the property is derecognized.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives. The ranges of estimated useful lives are as follows:

Investment Property 25-45 years

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.

(n) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, which is adjusted for the effects of inflation during the hyperinflationary period, where applicable, and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Cost of inventory is determined using the weighted average method and comprises all costs of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts. At 31 December 2024 and 2023, inventories mainly consisted of mobile phone and its accessories, tablet, sim-cards, tower construction materials and other electronic products.

(o) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group assesses, at each reporting period, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or cash generating unit's ("CGU") fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

(o) Impairment of non-financialassets (continued)
--- ---

For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication that previously recognized impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased.

(p) Employee benefits
(i) Short-term obligations
--- ---

Liabilities for salaries including non-monetary benefits that are expected to be settled wholly within 12 months after the end of the period in which the employees render the related service are recognized in respect of employees' services up to the end of the reporting period and are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled. The liabilities are presented as employee benefit obligations in the statement of financial position.

(ii) Post-employment benefits

In accordance with the labor law in Turkiye, the Company and its subsidiaries in Turkiye are required to make lump-sum payments to employees who have completed one year of service and whose employment is terminated without cause or who retire, are called up for military service or die. Such payments are considered as being part of defined benefit plans in accordance with IAS 19 Employee Benefits ("IAS 19"). Thus, the Group has recognized the retirement pay liability provision which is calculated by estimating the present value of future probable obligation of the Company and its subsidiaries in Turkiye arising from retirement of employees. Provision for retirement pay liability is calculated by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The calculated actuarial gains and losses are all recognized in other comprehensive income. For Turkish legal entities, the provision is calculated based on 30 days' pay up to a maximum full TL 35.1 as at 31 December 2024 (31 December 2023: TL 23.5), per year of employment, which is adjusted for future increases due to inflation applicable at the date of retirement. Discount rate used for calculating retirement pay liability as of 31 December 2023 is 2.2% (31 December 2023: 2.5%).

(iii) Share-based payments

The Group provides a cash-settled share-based payment plan for selected employees in return for their services. For cash-settled share-based payment transactions, the Group measures services received and the liability incurred at the fair value of the liability. Liabilities for cash-settled share-based payment plan are recognized as employee benefit expense over the relevant service period. The fair value of the liability is re-measured at each reporting date and at the settlement date. Any changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss for the period.

(iv) Personnel bonus

Provision for bonus is provided when the bonus is a legal obligation, or past practice would make the bonus a constructive obligation and the Group is able to make a reliable estimate of the obligation.

(v) Defined contribution plans

For defined contribution plans, the Group pays contributions to publicly or privately administered pension insurance plans on a mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis. The Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognized as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

(q) Provisions
--- ---

A provision is recognized if, as a result of a past event, the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation that can be estimated reliably, and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognized even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Provisions are measured at the present value of management's best estimate of the outflow required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. The discount rate used to determine the present value is a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as interest expense.

Dismantling, removal and restoring sites obligation

The Group is required to incur certain costs in respect of a liability to dismantle and remove assets and to restore sites on which the assets were located. The dismantling costs are calculated according to best estimate of future expected payments discounted at a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

(r) Revenue

Revenue is recognized at the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the performance obligation. The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer. Revenue is recognized when control is transferred to the customer.

Revenue from telecommunication services includes postpaid and prepaid revenue from voice, data, messaging and value-added services, fixed internet services, interconnect revenue, and roaming revenue.

The Group generally recognizes telecommunication revenue over time as it transfers services to its customer because the subscriber simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group, as the Group performs. For certain contracts, the Group recognizes revenue for the products and services early within the contract term, where the collection is made in deferred terms. Collection under these contracts, are considered probable as the Group has contractual right to collect, it has a firm policy and practice to enforce its contractual rights and has a historic pattern of collection.

With respect to contract liability, the Group generally collects cash in advance by selling prepaid top up to distributors. In such cases, the Group does not recognize revenue until subscribers use the telecommunication services.

Services may be bundled with other products and services and these bundled elements involve consideration in the form of a fixed fee or a fixed fee coupled with a continuing payment stream. A good or service is distinct if both of the following criteria are met:

· The<br> good or service is capable of being distinct, which is considered present if it is frequently<br> sold on standalone basis by the Group or other third parties,
· The<br> promise to transfer the good or service is distinct within the context of the contract, which<br> is considered present if there is no significant integration that combines the goods or services.

(r) Revenue (continued)
--- ---

The arrangement consideration is allocated to each performance obligation identified in the contract on a relative standalone selling price. If an element of a transaction is not distinct, then it is accounted for as an integral part of the remaining elements of the transaction. Revenue from device sales is recognized when control of the device has been transferred, being the time when delivered to the end customer. For device sales, revenue is recognized at the time when control of the device has been transferred, being when the products are delivered.

The Group, its distributors and dealers offer joint campaigns to subscribers (mainly corporate subscribers) which may include the sale of device by the dealer and/or the distributor and the sale of communication service by the Group. In certain campaigns, dealers make the handset sales to the subscribers with deferred payment terms. Instalment of these handset sales are collected by the Group through letters of undertaking (a formal document transferring right to collect) signed by all parties. The Group pays the distributor the net present value of the installments to be collected from the subscribers and recognizes "contracted receivables" (those that are transferred by the dealers/distributors) in its statement of financial position. The undue (not collected) portion of these contracted receivables which were paid upfront to the distributors/dealers by the Group is classified as "undue assigned contracted receivables" in trade receivables (Note 19). When monthly installment is invoiced to the subscriber, related portion is reclassified as "receivables from subscribers". The Group collects the contracted receivables in installments during the contract period and recognize revenue for the handset, based on the gross versus net presentation criteria explained at note (d).

The Group and distributors offer subscribers to buy a device through consumer financing loan, which will be collected by Turkcell Finansman. The Group carries a risk of collection in these transactions. Turkcell Finansman collects the purchased credit from the subscriber during the contract period and does not record revenue related to the device when it does not act as principal for the sale of device. This is classified as revenue from financial services and it represents interest income generated from consumer financing activities. Interest income is recognized as it accrues, using the effective interest method. The Group also generate revenue from mobile payment services, classified as revenue from financial services, provided by Turkcell Odeme. The revenue mainly consists of commission income from mobile payment activities, and recognized when customers use the service, make transactions and the service provided.

Monthly fixed fees represent a fixed amount charged to postpaid subscribers on a monthly basis without regard to the level of usage. Fixed fees are recognized on a monthly basis when billed. Monthly fixed fees are included in telecommunication services revenues.

Call center revenues are recognized at the time services are rendered during the contractual period.

The revenue recognition policy for other revenues is to recognize revenue as services are provided.

(s) Revenue (continued)
--- ---

When one of the parties performs the contract, based on the relationship between the Group's performance and the customer's payment, the Group recognizes the contract as either a contract asset or a contract liability in the financial position statement. The Group presents its unconditional rights to the consideration as a receivable separately. Before transferring a good or service to the customer, if the customer is required to pay the consideration or the Group has an unconditional right to receive the consideration (in other words, has a receivable), the Group recognizes the contract as a contract liability on the date the payment is made or the payment due date (whichever is earlier). A contract liability represents the Group's obligation to transfer goods or services to the customer in exchange for the consideration that it has received (or has the right to collect) from the customer. In cases where the Group performs its obligation by transferring goods or services to the customer before the customer makes the payment or before the payment due date, the Group recognizes the contract as a contract asset (excluding amounts presented as receivables). A contract asset represents the Group's right to receive the consideration for the goods or services it has transferred to the customer. The Group evaluates the contract asset for impairment in accordance with IFRS 9. The impairment of a contract asset is measured, presented, and disclosed according to the same principles as a financial asset under IFRS 9.

Contract costs eligible for capitalization as incremental costs of obtaining a contract comprise commission on sale relating to prepaid and postpaid contracts with acquired or retained subscribers. Contract costs are capitalized in the month of service activation if the Group expects to recover those costs. Contract costs comprise sales commissions to dealers and to own salesforce which can be directly attributed to an acquired or retained contract. Contract costs are classified as intangible assets in the consolidated financial statements. The asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over the customer lifetime, consistent with the pattern of recognition of the associated revenue.

(t) Income taxes
--- ---

The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

Income tax expense is recognized in the statement of profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. The current income tax charge is calculated based on the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions, where appropriate, based on amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss and at the time of the transaction, does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred tax assets are recognized only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilize those temporary differences and tax losses.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognized for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in foreign operations where the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Companies within the Group may be entitled to claim special tax exemptions for capital investments in qualifying assets or in relation to qualifying expenditure (e.g., the Research and Development Tax Incentive regime in Turkiye or other investment allowances). The Group accounts for such allowances as tax credits, which means that the allowance reduces income tax payable and current tax expense. A deferred tax asset is recognized for unclaimed tax credits that are carried forward as deferred tax assets.

2. Basis of preparation and summaryof material accounting policies (continued)
(u) Earnings per share
--- ---

The Group does not have any potential ordinary shares in issue, therefore basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") are equal. Since basic and diluted EPS are equal, the Group presents both basic and diluted EPS on one line described as "Basic and diluted EPS".

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, excluding treasury shares. In Türkiye, entities can increase their share capital by distributing "Bonus share" to shareholders from retained earnings. In computing earnings per share, such "Bonus share" distributions are treated as issued shares. Accordingly, the retrospective effect for such share distributions is taken into consideration when determining the weighted-average number of shares outstanding.

(v) Non-current assets held forsale and discontinued operations

On 29 December 2023, the Group publicly announced the decision of its Board of Directors to sell Lifecell, UkrTower and Global LLC, which as a whole represent Ukrainian geography operations. The sale of Ukrainian operations is expected to be completed within a year from the reporting date.

The Group classifies non-current assets and disposal groups as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use.

Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Assets and liabilities of Ukrainian operations are presented at carrying amounts, as carrying amount is lower than fair value less costs to sell.

The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable, and the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Actions required to complete the sale should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale will be made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately as current items in the statement of financial position.

Ukrainian operations are presented as a discontinued operation and were classified as held for sale since it represents a separate major geographical area of operations. Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are presented as a single amount as profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations in the statement of profit or loss.

Additional disclosures are provided in Note 3. All other notes to the financial statements include amounts for continuing operations, unless indicated otherwise.

(w) Equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

Where any Group company purchases the Company's equity instruments, for example as the result of a share buy-back plan, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the owners of the Company as treasury shares until the shares are cancelled or reissued. Where such ordinary shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the owners of the Company (Note 25).

(x) Dividends
--- ---

Liability is recognized for any dividend declared, being appropriately authorized and no longer at the discretion of the Company, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period.

(y) Leases

At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, The Group assesses whether:

- The contract<br> involved the use of an identified asset - this may be specified explicitly or implicitly;
- The<br> asset should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically<br> distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, the asset is not identified;
--- ---
- The<br> Group has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of<br> an asset throughout the period of use and
--- ---
- The<br> Group has the right to direct use of the asset. The Group has the right when it has the decision-making<br> rights that are most relevant to changing the how and for what purpose the asset is used.<br> If these decisions are predetermined;
--- ---
- The<br> Group has the right to operate the asset or,
--- ---
- The<br> Group designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it is used.
--- ---

At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices.

Right-of-use asset

The Group recognizes a right-of use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date.

The right-of-use asset is initially recognized at cost which is adjusted for the effects of inflation during the hyperinflationary period, where applicable, comprising of:

- Amount of<br> the initial measurement of the lease liability,
- Any lease<br> payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received,
--- ---
- Any initial<br> direct costs incurred by the Group and
--- ---
- An<br> estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying<br> asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the<br> condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, unless those costs are incurred<br> to produce inventories. The lessee incurs the obligation for those costs either at the commencement<br> date or as a consequence of having used the underlying asset during a particular period.
--- ---

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end date of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end date of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability (Note 16).

Lease Liability

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the Group's incremental borrowing rate.

2. Basis of preparation and summaryof material accounting policies (continued)
(x) Leases (continued)
--- ---

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

- Fixed payments,<br> including in-substance fixed payments,
- Variable lease<br> payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate at<br> the commencement date,
--- ---
- Amounts expected<br> to be payable under a residual value guarantee and
--- ---
- The<br> exercise price under a purchase option that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise,<br> lease payments in an optional renewable period if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise<br> an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease if the Group is reasonably<br> certain to terminate early.
--- ---

After initial recognition, the lease liability is measured (a) increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on lease liability; (b) reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made, and (c) remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications or to reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments.

Where, (a) there is a change in the lease term as a result of reassessment of certainty to exercise an extension option, or not to exercise a termination option as discussed above; or (b) there is a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset, assessed considering the events and circumstances in the context of a purchase option, the Group remeasures the lease liabilities to reflect changes to lease payments by discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate. The Group determines the revised discount rate as the interest rate implicit in the lease for the remainder of the lease term, or the its incremental borrowing rate at the date of reassessment, if the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined.

Where, (a) there is a change in the amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; or (b) there is a change in the future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine those payments, including change to reflect changes in market rental rates following a market rent review, the Group remeasures the lease liabilities by discounting the revised lease payments using an unchanged discount rate, unless the change in lease payments results from a change in floating interest rates. In such case, the Group uses the revised discount rate that reflects changes in the interest rate.

The Group recognizes the amount of the remeasurement of lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset. Where the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced zero and there is further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, the Group recognizes any remaining amount of the remeasurement in profit or loss.

The Group accounts for a lease modification as a separate lease if both:

- The<br> modification increases the scope of the lease by adding the right to use one or more underlying<br> assets and
- The<br> consideration for the lease increases by an amount commensurate with the stand-alone price<br> for the increase in scope and any appropriate adjustments to that stand-alone price to reflect<br> the circumstances of the particular contract.
--- ---

The Group as a Lessor

When the Group acts an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use-asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset.

If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Group applies IFRS 15 to allocate the consideration in the contract.

(y) New standards and interpretations
--- ---
i) The new standards, amendments and interpretations which are effective as of 1 January 2024 are as follows:
--- ---

Amendments to IAS 1- Classification of Liabilities asCurrent and Non-Current Liabilities

In January 2020 and October 2022, IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. According to the amendments made in October 2022 if an entity's right to defer settlement of a liability is subject to the entity complying with the required covenants at a date subsequent to the reporting period ("future covenants"), the entity has a right to defer settlement of the liability even if it does not comply with those covenants at the end of the reporting period. In addition, October 2022 amendments require an entity to provide disclosure when a liability arising from a loan agreement is classified as non-current and the entity's right to defer settlement is contingent on compliance with future covenants within twelve months. This disclosure must include information about the covenants and the related liabilities. The amendments clarify that the requirement for the right to exist at the end of the reporting period applies to covenants which the entity is required to comply with on or before the reporting date regardless of whether the lender tests for compliance at that date or at a later date. The amendments also clarified that the classification of a liability is unaffected by the likelihood that the entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. The amendments must be applied retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8.

The amendments did not have a significant impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.

Amendments to IFRS 16 - Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback

In September 2022, the Board issued amendments to IFRS 16. The amendments specify the requirements that a seller-lessee uses in measuring the lease liability arising in a sale and leaseback transaction, to ensure the seller-lessee does not recognize any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains. In applying requirements of IFRS 16 under "Subsequent measurement of the lease liability" heading after the commencement date in a sale and leaseback transaction, the seller lessee determines ‘lease payments’ or ‘revised lease payments’ in such a way that the seller-lessee would not recognize any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use retained by the seller-lessee. The amendments do not prescribe specific measurement requirements for lease liabilities arising from a leaseback. The initial measurement of the lease liability arising from a leaseback may result in a seller-lessee determining ‘lease payments’ that are different from the general definition of lease payments in IFRS 16. The seller-lessee will need to develop and apply an accounting policy that results in information that is relevant and reliable in accordance with IAS 8. A seller-lessee applies the amendments retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8 to sale and leaseback transactions entered into after the date of initial application of IFRS 16.

The amendments did not have a significant impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.

Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 - Disclosures: SupplierFinance Arrangements

The amendments issued in May 2023 specify disclosure requirements to enhance the current requirements, which are intended to assist users of financial statements in understanding the effects of supplier finance arrangements on an entity's liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk. Supplier finance arrangements are characterized by one or more finance providers offering to pay amounts an entity owes its suppliers and the entity agreeing to pay according to the terms and conditions of the arrangements at the same date as, or a date later than, suppliers are paid. The amendments require an entity to provide information about terms and conditions of those arrangements, quantitative information on liabilities related to those arrangements as at the beginning and end of the reporting period and the type and effect of non-cash changes in the carrying amounts of those liabilities. In the context of quantitative liquidity risk disclosures required by IFRS 7, supplier finance arrangements are also included as an example of other factors that might be relevant to disclose.

The amendments did not have a significant impact on the financial position or performance of the Group.

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 interim condensed 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 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. The amendments will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025. Early adoption is permitted but will need to be disclosed. When applying the amendments, an entity cannot restate comparative information.

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

Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 — Classificationand 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 derecognised on the ‘settlement date’. It also introduces an accounting policy option to derecognise 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 IFRS Accounting Standards —Volume 11

In July 2024, the IASB issued Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards — Volume 11, amending the followings:

- IFRS1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards — Hedge Accounting by a First-time Adopter: These<br>amendments are intended to address potential confusion arising from an inconsistency between the wording in IFRS 1 and the requirements<br>for hedge accounting in IFRS 9.
- IFRS7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures — Gain or Loss on Derecognition: The amendments update the language on unobservable<br>inputs in the Standard and include a cross reference to IFRS 13.
--- ---
- IFRS9 Financial Instruments — Lessee Derecognition of Lease Liabilities and Transaction Price: IFRS 9 has been amended to<br>clarify that, when a lessee has determined that a lease liability has been extinguished in accordance with IFRS 9, the lessee is required<br>to apply derecognition requirement of IFRS 9 and recognise any resulting gain or loss in profit or loss. IFRS 9 has been also amended<br>to remove the reference to 'transaction price".
--- ---
- IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements — Determination of a 'De Facto Agent': The<br> amendments are intended to remove the inconsistencies between IFRS 10 paragraphs.
--- ---
- IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows — Cost Method: The amendments remove the term<br> 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 ReferencingNature-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 andDisclosure 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

Amendments to IAS 12 - International Tax Reform —Pillar Two Model Rules

In May 2023, the Board issued amendments to IAS 12, which introduce a mandatory exception in IAS 12 from recognizing and disclosing deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes. The amendments clarify that IAS 12 applies to income taxes arising from tax laws enacted or substantively enacted to implement the Pillar Two Model Rules published by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The amendments also introduced targeted disclosure requirements for entities affected by the tax laws. The temporary exception from recognition and disclosure of information about deferred taxes and the requirement to disclose the application of the exception apply immediately and retrospectively upon issue of the amendments.

Based on management's assessments, as of 31 December 2024, the amendments due to Pillar Two did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements. However, the Company will continue to monitor upcoming legislation changes on this matter, in Turkey and in other countries that the Group operates.

The profit or loss statement and cash flow information for the current period reflect amounts that are converted at the average exchange rate or the exchange rate at the transaction date, in line with general practice. Comparative amounts for discontinued operations are presented in terms of the purchasing power of the Turkish Lira as of 31 December 2024, which is consistent with the presentation of foreign subsidiaries.

Lifecell has recognized a deferred tax asset amounting to TL 1,699,803 as of 31 December 2023 (31 December 2022: TL 1,511,666). The aforementioned tax losses are unlimited in duration. In determining the amount of the deferred tax asset that can be used, the Group has used the business plans for the following years, and it has been assessed that the accumulated losses will be utilized within 4 years as of 31 December 2023.

4. Financial risk management

This note explains the Group's exposure to financial risks and how these risks could affect the Group's future financial performance. Current year profit and loss information has been included where relevant to add further context.

The Group's risk management policies are set to determine and analyze the risks faced, to establish the appropriate risk limits and to observe the commitment to those limits. These policies are constantly reviewed to make sure they reflect the Group's operations and the changes in market conditions.

Credit risk

At the reporting date, there were no significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income, financial asset at fair value through profit or loss, financial asset at amortized cost, derivative financial instruments, contract assets, trade receivables, receivables from financial services, due from related parties and other current and non-current assets (Note 35).

Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. The Group may require collateral in respect of financial assets. Also, the Group may demand letters of guarantee from third parties related to certain projects or contracts. The Group may also demand certain pledges from counterparties, if necessary, in return for the credit support it gives related to certain financings (Note 19).

In monitoring customer credit risk, customers are grouped according to whether they are subscribers, financial services customers, other corporate customers and aging profile, maturity and existence of previous financial difficulties. Trade receivables and contract assets are mainly related to the Group’s subscribers. The Group’s exposure to credit risk on trade receivables and contract assets is influenced mainly by the individual payment characteristics of postpaid subscribers. The Group establishes a provision for impairment losses based on its historical events and future expectations in respect of trade receivables and contract assets. The receivables from financial sector activities consist of contractual assignments from subscribers related to consumer financing activities of Turkcell Finansman, receivables related to payment services and electronic money services of Turkcell Ödeme and Paycell LLC, and receivables related to insurance agency services of Turkcell Sigorta. These receivables are accounted for using the effective interest rate method at amortized cost.

Investments are preferred to be in liquid securities. The counterparty limits are set monthly depending on their ratings from the most credible rating agencies and the amount of their paid-in capital and/or shareholders equity. Policies are in place to review the paid-in capital and rating of counterparties periodically to ensure credit worthiness.

The Group signs local and international derivate agreements in order to be able to execute financial derivative transactions with financial institutions that are believed to have sufficient credit ratings.

The Group's policy is to provide financial guarantees only to subsidiaries. At 31 December 2024, guarantees of TL11,164,743 were outstanding (31 December 2023: TL 12,758,470).

Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. At the end of the reporting period the Group held demand deposits of TL 4,602,532 (31 December 2023: TL 6,086,542) that are expected to readily generate cash inflows for managing liquidity risk. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the Group Treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines.

Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Group's liquidity reserve (Note 35) and cash and cash equivalents (Note 23) on the basis of expected cash flows. In addition, the Group's liquidity management policy involves projecting cash flows in major currencies and considering the level of liquid assets necessary to meet these, monitoring balance sheet liquidity ratios against internal and external regulatory requirements and maintaining debt financing plans.

4. Financial risk management (continued)

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices affect the Group's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return on risk. The Group uses derivatives in order to manage market risks. All such transactions are carried at within the guidelines set by the Group Treasury.

(i) Foreign exchange risk

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from foreign currency transactions, primarily with respect to the USD, EUR and RMB. Foreign exchange risk arises from recognized assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the functional currency of the relevant Group entity. The Group holds a significant portion of its cash and cash equivalent in foreign currencies in order to manage foreign exchange risk. In addition, derivative financial instruments are used to manage exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and since 1 July 2018 the Company applies hedge accounting. Details of the Company's foreign exchange risk is disclosed in Note 35.

(ii) Interest rate risk

The Group's exposure to interest rate risk is related to its financial assets and liabilities. The Group manage its financial liabilities by providing an appropriate distribution between fixed and floating rate loans. Floating rate exposures can be changed to fixed rate exposures based on short-term and long-term market expectations via financial derivatives. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the Group Treasury's policies approved by the Audit Committee, which provide written principles on the use of derivatives. The Group's borrowings and receivables are carried at amortized cost. The borrowings are periodically contractually repriced (Note 35) and are also exposed to the risk of future changes in market interest rates.

In calculating the change in fair value attributable to the hedged risk of the floating-rate debt, the Group has made the following assumptions that reflect its current expectations:

  • Considering the Group's 'Possible' requirements, the USD LIBOR interest rate on which its hedging liabilities are based has not changed as a result of the IBOR reform.

  • As a result of the IBOR reform, the USD LIBOR interest rate, on which the cash flows of the debt for hedging purposes are carried out, and the swap interest rate on which the hedging transactions are based, have not changed as a result of the IBOR reform.

  • The group has not retroactively changed its cash flow hedging reserve for the period expected for the implementation of the reforms.

5. Segment information

In accordance with its integrated communication and technology services strategy, Group has reportable segments which are Turkcell Turkiye, Turkcell International and Techfin. While some of these strategic segments offer the same types of services, they are managed separately because they operate in different geographical locations and are affected by different economic conditions.

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker function is carried out by the Board of Directors, however Board of Directors may transfer the authorities, other than recognized by the law, to the General Manager and other directors.

Techfin reportable segment includes all financial services operations of Turkcell Finansman, Turkcell Odeme, Paycell, Paycell Europe, Turkcell Sigorta and Turkcell Dijital Sigorta. The operations of these legal entities aggregated into one reportable segment as the nature of services are similar and most of them share similar economic characteristics.

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the consolidated profit for the year is included in the accompanying notes.

The Group engages qualified external experts, authorized by the Capital Markets Board of Turkiye, to perform the valuation of investment properties. Management works closely with the qualified external experts to establish the appropriate valuation techniques and inputs to the model. The fair values of these investment properties were determined using a variety of valuation methods: income capitalization approach and market approach. In estimating the fair values of the properties, the highest and best use of the property is its current use.

Rent income from investment properties during the year ended 31 December 2024 is TL 6,104 (31 December 2023: TL 34,746). There are no direct operating expenses for investment properties during the year ended 31 December 2024 (31 December 2023: None).

(*) In order to prioritize the TL in deposit preferences of savers and to increase the share of TL in banks' balance sheets, the foreign currency protected deposit and participation account ("CPTD") scheme was introduced in December 2021 by Ministry of Treasury and Finance of Turkiye ("MoTF"). The CPTD scheme consists of TL accounts to be opened under the support of the MoTF and conversions from foreign currency (FX) deposits to TL accounts to be supported by the CBRT. Savings of TL depositors are hedged against the exchange rate risk with the CPTD scheme supported by the MoTF. The CBRT-supported scheme enables FX deposit account holders to switch to TL deposit accounts. Depositors switching to TL accounts from their foreign currency accounts under the support of the CBRT will be able to continue to hedge their savings against the exchange rate risk by using the MoTF supported scheme at the end of the maturity period. Currency-protected time deposit accounts are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The Group has converted its foreign currency deposit account amounting to USD 68,474 and EUR 15,000 into "Currency Protected TL Time Deposit Accounts". Maturity of currency protected time deposit accounts is 1 year.

(**) Investment funds mainly consist of free market funds and Turkcell Venture Capital Investment Fund (GSYF), established by Re-Pie Portfolio Management Inc., as well as the shares and financial assets related to this fund. These funds are measured at fair value, and the corresponding changes in value are recognized in profit or loss.

(***) Listed debt securities are classified as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Fair value of derivativeinstruments 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 Techniques
a) Participating cross currency swap contracts Level 2 Pricing models based on discounted cash present value of the estimated future<br> cash flows based on observable yield curves and end period FX rates
b) FX swap, currency, interest swap and option contracts Level 2 Present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves and end period<br> FX rates
c) Currency forward contracts Level 2 Forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date

In the valuation of participating cross currency swap contracts, the Group uses bid prices in the bid- ask price range that were considered the most appropriate instead of mid prices. Using bid prices instead of mid ranges, has no impact on carried values as of 31 December 2024. (31 December 2023: None)

Closing balance - -

The Group transferred participating cross currency swap contracts from Level 3 to Level 2 hierarchy because the use of bid prices in the bid-ask price ranges in valuation are not considered significant unobservable input anymore, based on market data. As a policy, the Group makes transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the end of the reporting period.

As of 31 December 2024, the Company has no financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Net off / Offset

The Company signed a Credit Support Annex (CSA) against the default risk of parties in respect of a EUR 167,000 participating cross currency swap transaction executed on 15 July 2016 and restructured respectively on 26 May 2017 and 9 August 2018. Additionally, in the 25 June 2019, The Company signed a new CSA to EUR 24,036 participating cross currency swap transaction. As per the CSA, the swap's current (mark-to-market) value will be determined on the 10th and 24th calendar day of each calendar month, and if the mark-to-market value is positive and exceeds a certain threshold, the bank will be posting cash collateral to the Company which will be equal to an amount exceeding the threshold (i.e. if the mark-to-market value is negative, the Company would be required to post collateral to the bank by an amount exceeding the threshold).

With respect to valuations, on a bi-weekly basis, a transfer will take place between the parties only if the mark-to-market value changes by at least EUR 1,000. Following the execution of CSA, the bank transferred to the Company EUR 344,829 as collateral (31 December 2024: TL 12,670,017) which was the amount exceeding the threshold (EUR 10,000) and the Company transferred EUR 333,509 as collateral to the bank (31 December 2024: TL 12,254,088) which was the amount exceeding the threshold (EUR 10,000). The Company clarified this with the derivative assets included in the statement of financial position because it has the legal right to offset the collateral amount TL 415,929 (31 December 2023: TL 1,441,934) that it recognizes under the borrowings and intends to pay according to the net fair value, this amount was netted from the borrowings and deducted from the derivative instruments in the balance sheet. As of 31 December 2024, if this transaction was not conducted, derivative financial instruments assets, liabilities and borrowings would have been TL 2,273,548 (31 December 2023: TL 4,144,206), TL 309,975 (31 December 2023: TL 261,701) and TL 52,321,024 (31 December 2023: TL 43,849,703) respectively.

34. Derivative financial instruments (continued)

Fair value of derivativeinstruments and risk management (continued)

Market risk

The Group uses various types of derivatives to manage market risks. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the treasury and risk management department. Generally, the Group seeks to apply hedge accounting to manage volatility in profit or loss.

Currency risk

The Group's risk management policy is to hedge its estimated foreign currency exposure in respect of borrowing payments with various maturities at any point in time. The Group uses participating cross currency contracts to hedge its currency risk, mostly with a maturity of over one year from the reporting date. These contracts are generally designated as cash flow hedges.

The Company started to apply hedge accounting as of 1 July 2018 for existing participating cross currency swap and cross currency swap transactions in accordance with IFRS 9 hedge accounting requirement. The Group designates the hedge ratio, between the amount of the hedged item and the hedging instrument is 1:1 to hedge its currency risk.

The time value of options in participating cross currency swap contracts are included in the designation of the hedging instrument and are separately accounted for as a cost of hedging, which is recognized in equity in a cost of hedging reserve. The Group's policy is for the critical terms of the participating cross currency contracts to align with the hedged item.

The Group determines the existence of an economic relationship between the hedging instruments and hedged item based on the currency, amount and timing of their respective cash flows. The Group assesses whether the derivative designated in each hedging relationship is expected to be and has been effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item using the hypothetical derivative method.

In these hedge relationships, the main sources of ineffectiveness are;

-     The effect of the counterparties' credit risk on the fair value of the swap contracts, which is not part of the hedged risk and associated credit risk considered to be very low at inception in the fair value of the hedged cash flows attributable to the change in exchange rates;

-     The entire fair value of the derivative contracts including currency basis was designated as the hedging instrument in cash flow hedge. The hypothetical derivative is modelled to exclude the impact of currency basis.

The Company's bank loans are designated as hedging instruments against the spot foreign exchange rate risk (USD/TL) associated with highly probable electricity sales. In this context, the Group started to apply cash flow hedge accounting effective from 10 September 2021. The amount of loans associated within this scope amounted to USD 6,582 as of 31 December 2024. The after tax foreign exchange gain and loss recognized under "cash flow hedges" in the statement of other comprehensive income of 2024.

The Company's lease liabilities are designated as hedging instruments against the spot foreign exchange rate risk (EUR/TL) associated with highly probable EUR telecommunication revenues. In this context, the Group started to apply cash flow hedge accounting effective from 1 October 2021. The amount of lease liabilities associated within this scope amounted to EUR 59,086 as of 31 December 2024. The after tax foreign exchange gain and loss recognized under "cash flow hedges" in the statement of other comprehensive income of 2024.

Fair value of derivativeinstruments and risk management (continued)


Currency risk (continued)

The Company designated EUR 56,576 of bank loan, as hedging instruments in order to hedge the foreign currency risk arising from the translation of net assets of the subsidiaries operating in Europe from EUR to Turkish Lira. Foreign exchange gains/losses of the related loans are recognized under equity as "gains/(losses) on net investment hedges" in order to offset the foreign exchange gains/(losses) arising from the translation of the net assets of investments in foreign operations to Turkish Lira. The after-tax foreign exchange loss recognized under "hedges of net investments in foreign operation" in the statement of other comprehensive income of 2024 in the scope of net investment hedge amounted to TL 1,224,035 (2023: TL (1,676,558))

Interest rate risk

The Group adopts a policy of ensuring that its interest rate risk exposure is at a fixed rate. This is achieved partly by entering into fixed-rate instruments and partly by borrowing at a floating rate and using cross currency and interest rate swaps as hedges of the variability in cash flows attributable to movements in interest rates. The Group applies a hedge ratio of 1:1.

The Group determines the existence of an economic relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged item based on the reference interest rates, tenors, repricing dates and maturities and the notional or par amounts.

The Group assesses whether the derivative designated in each hedging relationship is expected to be effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item using the hypothetical derivative method.

In these hedge relationships, the main sources of ineffectiveness are:

  • The effect of the counterparties' credit risk on the fair value of the swap contracts, which is not part of the hedged risk and associated credit risk considered to be very low at inception in the fair value of the hedged cash flows attributable to the change in interest rates;

Cash flow sensitivityanalysis for variable-rate instruments

A reasonable potential change of 100 basis points in interest rates and 10% change in foreign exchange currency at the reporting date would have increased (decreased) equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant.

Financial assets:

Carrying values of a significant portion of financial assets do not differ significantly from their fair values due to their short-term nature. Fair values of financial assets are presented in Note 24.

Financial liabilities:

As at 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023; for the majority of the borrowings, the fair values are not materially different to their carrying amounts since the interest payable on those borrowings is either close to current market rates or the borrowings are of a short-term nature.

The carrying amounts and fair values of non-current borrowings and current portion of non-current borrowings are as follows:

As at 31 December 2024: Carrying<br><br> amount Fair value
Bank loans 8,890,170 8,882,444

Bank loans 9,251,180 9,037,496
Debt securities 41,047,910 40,179,080

The fair values of non-current borrowings are based on discounted cash flows using a current borrowing rate. They are classified as level 3 of fair value hierarchy due to the use of unobservable inputs.
