In the first quarter of 2025, Brisa maintained its strong market position and financial resilience through operational efficiency, premium product focus and strategic mobility investments.
Brisa, the leading company in the Turkish tire industry investing in end-to-end mobility, announced its first quarter financial results for 2025. In this period, the Company strengthened its strategic focus with its investments in mobility solutions and innovative products. Brisa increased its sales in the premium and high rim diameter product group developed with innovative technologies. The decline in demand in the domestic market, especially in the commercial segment, flat prices and the limited appreciation of foreign currency in exports caused sales revenue to grow at a rate below inflation compared to the same period of the previous year. The Company's first quarter sales revenue amounted to TL 8.2 billion. Despite the below-inflation growth in sales revenue, a gross profit margin of 19.9% was achieved in the first quarter of the year thanks to the efficiency gains in production and controlled outlook in costs. The Company's operating profit was realized as 447 million TL in this period.
In this period, Brisa distributed fifty percent of its net distributable profit for the year 2024 as cash dividend to shareholders as an indicator of its commitment to create sustainable value for its stakeholders. Of the 2024 net distributable profit, TL 650 million was distributed to shareholders at a gross rate of 212.96% and TL 107 million to holders of usufruct certificates, amounting to a total of TL 757 million in cash dividends.
In the first quarter, Brisa reinforced its vision of positioning itself not only as a tire manufacturer, but also as a mobility solutions company offering holistic services to vehicle owners throughout their entire journey.
Commenting on the results, Brisa CEO Haluk Kürkçü said: "The first quarter of 2025 was a period of continued challenges in global and local markets. Despite the market contraction and pricing pressures, we managed to keep our gross profit margin at strong levels thanks to our operational efficiency and tight cost management. Most importantly, we maintained our financial resilience in this

period with our strong cash generation performance.
We continued to invest in our service networks such as Otopratik and to focus on innovative products such as Lassa Revola in line with our goal to go beyond tires and become a playmaker in mobility. We continue to expand our Otopratik fast-fit maintenance service chains with a strong franchise model and new segmentation steps. We strengthened the market position of our premium products, which include Enliten and Nextgen technology designed for electric and hybrid vehicles and compatible with the mobility of the future, and we increased their share in our sales. In international markets, we continue to grow with our Lassa brand via new collaborations in different regions. In the first quarter of the year, we displayed strong performance in Central, Western and Eastern European markets and increased our market share.
As Brisa, we aim to maintain our leading position and create value for our stakeholders in 2025 with our mobility-oriented strategy, ability to adapt to changing market conditions, financial discipline and innovative products."
