In the first quarter of 2025, Migros' consolidated sales grew by 8.5% year-on-year in real terms and reached TL 78.4 billion, in accordance with IAS 29 inflation accounting. The like-for-like sales growth across all formats, the customer traffic gain, new store openings and competitive pricing strategy were the main drivers of the consolidated sales growth in the first quarter of the year. By the end of 1Q25, the contribution of online channels in total sales reached 21.1%, excluding tobacco and alcohol products.
In 1Q25, the gross profit was recorded at TL 19,017 million, with IAS 29. The gross margin in the first quarter of 2025 was 24.2%. Migros reported a consolidated EBITDA of TL 3,687 million in the first quarter of 2025, with IAS 29. The EBITDA margin in 1Q25 increased to 4.7% from 1.2% in 1Q24.
In the first quarter of 2025, Migros generated a net profit of TL 1,032 million, with IAS 29, corresponding to net profit margin of 1.3% (1Q24: 2.4%). The main reasons of the decrease in net profit margin in 1Q25 are the increase in the depreciation & amortization expenses, the rise in the personnel expenses and the impact of inflation accounting, which resulted in booking less monetary gains on assets in 1Q25 compared to 1Q24, as the average inflation in 1Q25 was lower than 1Q24's average inflation.
The company's shareholders' equity rose to TL 64.4 billion by the end of March 2025, up by 9% y-o-y in real terms.
According to Nielsen, Migros' market share in the first quarter of 2025 increased by +70 bps in total FMCG and +50 bps in modern FMCG markets. By the end of March 2025, Migros' market share reached 10.2% in total FMCG market and 16.3% in modern FMCG market.
The expansion of both offline and online sales channels continued in the first three months of 2025. The Company opened 56 new stores in Q1 2025. The total number of stores reached 3,642 as of 31 March 2025. Furthermore, the number of stores serving online rose from 1,137 to 1,452 year on year. Besides new store openings and expansion in online channels, Migros invested in refurbishment of its existing stores, information technologies, self-checkouts, electronic shelf price tags, R&D and new distribution centers in 1Q25. With IAS 29, the Company spent TL 1,587 million in capital expenditures in the first quarter of 2025.
Migros maintains its full year guidance for 2025. With IAS 29 inflationary accounting, Migros expects a consolidated revenue growth of 8-10% in 2025. The consolidated EBITDA margin for 2025, with IAS 29, is targeted approximately 6.0%. Migros plans to open ~250 new stores this year and is committed to continuing its investment program. The capex to sales ratio in 2025 is expected to be 2.5-3.0% with IAS 29.
In the General Assembly Meeting on 15 April 2025, the General Assembly discussed the Board of Directors' dividend distribution proposal. Accordingly it was decided;

Within the scope of the activities conducted with the Company employees, the Committee follows up various risk indicators, which have been created to ensure identification of the risks that could preclude the achievement of the Company's strategic business goals, to monitor the factors that make up these risks, to determine and measure the probability and impact of the risks, and follows up the risk criteria deemed important.
These risk indicators are analyzed and followed up by the related Company units, and changes are monitored by the Early Detection of Risk Committee. In periodic meetings, the Early Detection of Risk Committee evaluates whether appropriate actions have been taken.
Detailed information has been provided at Note 20, titled Exchange Rate Risk and Foreign Currency Position, of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the Interim Period 1 January – 31 March 2025 of the Company.
Risk management is implemented by each subsidiary within the framework of policies decided by the Board of Directors.
The Early Recognition of Risk Committee, which convenes 6 times a year, coordinates to take precaution against predictable risks that the company might face as a result of its financial structure and reports regularly to the Board of Directors about its practices.
In addition, the study initiated by the Company to have all its stores, administrative offices and distribution centers inspected by companies specialized in building control is ongoing. As a result of this study, it is aimed to strengthen the buildings where structural weaknesses are detected, if possible. For buildings that cannot be strengthened, the Company has started and continues to work on finding an alternative building and evacuating the existing building.
In the conduct and performance of its financial and operational reviews, the Internal Audit Department adheres to the following principles.
• Compliance of employees with the quality management documentation and administrative instructions approved by the management,
The fundamental duties of the Internal Audit Department consist, among other things, of investigating/examining activities and transactions which previously had been determined and reported as having elements of risk in order to ascertain the degree to which such risks have been eliminated or brought under control in line with management-approved recommendations; performing follow-up reviews in situations where more detailed investigations and examinations are necessary.
Any problems that may be discovered during the course of review activities are investigated in detail with the aim of allowing measures to be taken as necessary while recommendations are also made concerning what action should be taken to deal with any losses which the Company is ascertained to have suffered. In all of these efforts, altering processes in such a way as to prevent recurrences of similar incidents is an issue of fundamental concern.
In line with the risk-based audit approach and the year's internal control plan, the Internal Audit Department conducted financial and operational reviews of various departments and processes. Assessments and recommendations based on review results are submitted to company senior management along with the reports in which matters where improvements may be made in keeping with the philosophy of continuous development are also pointed out. Besides financial and operational reviews, the Internal Audit Department also conducts follow-up reviews on issues about which senior management was previously informed and it was agreed that measures needed to be taken. Similar risk analysis and audits were conducted in the first three months of 2025.
