ISTANBUL, July 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- D-MARKET Electronic Services & Trading (d/b/a “Hepsiburada”) (NASDAQ: HEPS), a leading Turkish e-commerce platform (referred to herein as “Hepsiburada” or the “Company”), today announces its unaudited financial results for the second quarter and the six months ended June 30, 2025. Restatement of financial information: Pursuant to the International Accounting Standard 29, Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies (“IAS 29”), the financial statements of entities whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy must be adjusted for the effects of changes in a general price index. Turkish companies reporting under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), including the Company, have been required to apply IAS 29 to their financial statements for periods ended on and after June 30, 2022. The Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, including figures corresponding to the same periods of the prior year, reflect a restatement pursuant to IAS 29. Under IAS 29, the Company’s financial statements are presented in terms of the measuring unit current as of June 30, 2025. All the amounts included in the financial statements which are not stated in terms of the measuring unit current as of the date of the reporting period, are restated applying the general price index. Adjustment for inflation has been calculated considering the price indices published by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat). Such indices used to restate the financial statements as at June 30, 2025 are as follows: DateIndexConversion Factor30 June 20253,132.21.0031 December 20242,684.61.1730 June 20242,319.31.35 Figures unadjusted for inflation in accordance with IAS 29, denoted as “IAS 29-unadjusted”, “unadjusted for IAS 29”, “unadjusted”, “unadjusted for inflation”, or “without adjusting for inflation”, are also included under the “Highlights” sections as relevant. Figures unadjusted for IAS 29 constitute non-IFRS financial measures. We believe that their inclusion facilitates the understanding of the restated financial statements in accordance with IAS 29. Please see the “Presentation of Financial and Other Information” section of this press release for a definition of such non-IFRS measures, a discussion of the limitations on their use, and reconciliations of the non-IFRS measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures.

See “Certain Definitions” for more information.2 Order Frequency as of June 30, 2024 was reported as 10.6 in the Company’s earnings release for the second quarter of 2024 published on September 11, 2024. Following the recognition of returns and cancellations made within the legally mandated consumer return period, the figure has been revised to 10.5. Commenting on the results, Nilhan Onal Gökçetekin, CEO of Hepsiburada said: “In the second quarter, we observed a gradual recovery in consumer demand in the market. Amid this recovery, we achieved 8.1% order growth and GMV growth of 11.9%, partially offsetting the decreases observed in the first quarter. Our revenue increased by 22.6% during the quarter, fully offsetting the contraction seen in Q1 2025 and bringing our year-to-date revenue growth to 5.9%. Compared to last year, our gross contribution margin improved by 40 basis points (bps) in the second quarter and 130 bps in the first half of 2025, driven mainly by a more diversified revenue composition across e-commerce and logistics. Our EBITDA as a percentage of GMV increased by 30 bps during the quarter, reaching 1.4%, supported by our topline and margin growth and a 41.6% increase in EBITDA corresponding to a year-on-year increase of TRY 217.4 million. In the second quarter, our net loss for the period increased by 39.4% compared to last year. This was mainly due to TRY 247.9 million in provision expenses compared to TRY 84.9 million in Q2 2024 and TRY 233.2 million in one-off expenses related to our global operations, and a TRY 206 million increase in net financial expenses (net of financial income), reflecting higher costs driven by increased competitiveness in end-user credit card installments, along with a decline in monetary gain and increased depreciation expenses compared to Q2 2024. We remain focused on executing with discipline, driving sustainable growth, improving margins, and strengthening the fundamentals of our business. We greatly value the continued support of our shareholders, the trust of our customers and partners, and the dedication of our entire team throughout the quarter.” Summary: Key Operational and Financial Metrics The following table sets forth a summary of the key operating and unaudited financial data as of and for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, and the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024 prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Our revenue increased by 22.6% to TRY 16,743.8 million in Q2 2025 compared to TRY 13,657.3 million in Q2 2024. This was due to a 25.2% increase in our (1P) revenue (comprising 66.5% of total revenue), a 4.8% increase in our (3P) revenue (comprising 11% of total revenue), a 24.9% increase in delivery service revenue (comprising 15.6% of total revenue) and a 26.3% increase in other revenue (comprising 6.9% of total revenue) compared to Q2 2024. The 21.8% increase in 1P and 3P revenue compared to Q2 2024 was mainly due to targeted marketing initiatives and a gradual recovery in consumer demand compared to Q1 2025. The 24.9% increase in delivery service revenue compared to Q2 2024 was mainly due to an increase in delivery service revenue from the off-platform customers of Hepsijet. The rise in other revenue was mainly attributable to growth in our Hepsiburada Premium subscription revenues.

While cost of inventory sold increased by 27.1%, sales of goods grew by 25.2%. The main driver for the increase in operating expenses in Q2 2025 was the recognition of TRY 247.9 million in provision expenses compared to TRY 84.9 million last year and TRY 233.2 million in one-off expenses related to our global operations. For the 1st half of 2025 total provision expenses were TRY 413 million compared to TRY 139 million in the 1st half of 2024. Net Loss for the Period Net loss for the period was TRY 723.8 million in Q2 2025, compared to a net loss of TRY 519.3 million in Q2 2024. This negative change was mainly due to a TRY 206.2 million increase in net financial expenses (net of financial income) relating to higher commission expenses due to early collection of credit card receivables and a TRY 76.0 million decrease in monetary gain, partially offset by a TRY 77.7 million decrease in operating losses. EBITDA EBITDA as a percentage of GMV increased by 0.3 pp in Q2 2025 to 1.4% in Q2 2025, compared to 1.1% in Q2 2024. EBITDA grew by 41.6%, or TRY 217.4 million, to TRY 739.5 million in Q2 2025 from TRY 522.1 million in Q2 2024. These increases were driven by a 0.4pp rise in Gross Contribution margin, a 0.1pp decline in shipping and packaging expenses, a 0.1pp decline in technology expenses and a 0.3pp decline in advertising expenses, partially offset by a 0.7pp increase other operating expenses, due to (i) higher expected credit losses’ provisions and (ii) global operations provisions, in each case as a percentage of GMV. Free Cash Flow Our Free Cash Flow increased to an inflow of TRY 3,405.2 million in Q2 2025 from an outflow of TRY 870.4 million in Q2 2024. The increase was mainly driven by a TRY 4,193.3 million increase in net cash provided by operating activities and a TRY 82.2 million decrease in tangible and intangible asset acquisitions.

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

We have included gross contribution in this press release because it is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to evaluate our operational profitability as it reflects direct costs of products sold to our buyers. Accordingly, we believe that gross contribution provides useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors. Gross contribution has limitations as a financial measure, including that other companies may calculate gross contribution differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for profit/(loss) for the period, as a profit measure or other analysis of our results as reported under IFRS.

IAS 29-Unadjusted Revenue, IAS 29-Unadjusted Gross Contribution and IAS 29-Unadjusted EBITDA have limitations as financial measures, including that other companies may calculate IAS 29-Unadjusted Revenue, IAS 29-Unadjusted Gross Contribution and IAS 29-Unadjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces their usefulness as a comparative measure and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for revenue or profit/(loss) for the period, as revenue or profit measures or other analysis of our results as reported under IFRS.

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

We have included Net Working Capital in this press release because it is used to measure the short-term liquidity of a business, and can also be used to obtain a general impression of the ability of company management to utilize assets in an efficient manner. Net Working Capital is critical since it is used to keep our business operating smoothly and meet all our financial obligations in the short-term. Accordingly, we believe that Net Working Capital provides useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating how we manage our short-term liabilities.
