We are pleased to have started 2025 with a strong set of results in the first quarter. Despite ongoing macroeconomic challenges, we remained committed to our focus on sustainable growth and creating long-term value for all our stakeholders.
We exceeded our expectations across key metrics in 1Q 2025. System-wide sales reached 12.2 Billion TL, representing a 59% year-on-year increase. On an IAS 29 adjusted basis, revenues grew by 11% in real terms to 8.7 Billion TL, while EBITDA rose by 14% to 1.5 Billion TL, delivering a healthy margin of 16.8%.
Customer traffic was another highlight of the quarter, with the number of tickets sold increasing by 16% year-on-year to 52 million. This strong performance reflects the success of our value-driven menu offerings, competitive pricing supported by scale efficiencies, and favorable weather conditions — all underscoring the strength of our value proposition.
Restaurant expansion continues to be a key pillar of our strategy. We opened 31 new locations during the quarter, putting us firmly on track to achieve our target of approximately 180 new openings for the full year. Our disciplined approach to site selection and ongoing restaurant renovations continue to drive strong customer engagement.
Digital transformation remains central to our growth strategy. In 1Q 2025, we installed 331 additional self-order screens, bringing our total to 1,690. These technological investments enhance customer experience while improving operational efficiency.






Delivery sales also remained robust, with delivery ticket volumes increasing by 13% year-on-year, now accounting for 28% of total sales. Tickets generated via digital channels1 surged by 36%; accordingly, the share of digital sales in our total sales exceeded 40%. These initiatives are integral to our strategy of simplifying operations, reducing waiting times, and delivering a seamless experience centered around our guests' needs. With the increasing usage of digital channels, we are getting to know our customers better to offer them individualized offers.
On the marketing front, our efforts in the first quarter focused on driving traffic and deepening customer engagement through targeted product offerings. We increased our marketing communications around our value meal offerings, innovations, and side products to address customers' needs. Also, special promotions during Ramadan helped strengthen our customer bonds. As a result, number of sandwiches sold rose by 26%, driven mainly by our value segment, while premium product sales grew by 16%, reflecting both a downtrading trend and our ability to serve a broad consumer base effectively.
As of the end of the quarter, our restaurant portfolio reached 1,854 locations, with franchise operations now representing 46% of our total network — the highest in our history — highlighting the growing strength and appeal of our franchise models.
Looking ahead, we remain fully committed to expanding our network, driving innovation, and enhancing operational efficiency. Our integrated channel strategy, digital initiatives, and restaurant investments will continue to power our momentum. Our outlook for 2025 remains unchanged, and we are confident in our ability to deliver on our long-term sustainable growth ambitions.
We extend our sincere thanks to our employees, franchise partners, and investors for their unwavering support as we continue building a stronger future for TAB Gıda.

Based on the CMB's decision dated 28 December 2023 and numbered 81/1820 and the "Implementation Guide on Financial Reporting in High Inflation Economies" published by the POA with the announcement made on 23 November 2023, issuers and capital market institutions subject to financial reporting regulations applying Turkish Accounting/Financial Reporting Standards will apply inflation accounting by applying the provisions of IAS 29, starting from their annual financial reports for the accounting periods ending as of December 31, 2023.
As of March 31, 2025, an adjustment has been made in accordance with the requirements of IAS 29 ("Financial Reporting in High Inflation Economies") regarding the changes in the general purchasing power of the Turkish Lira. IAS 29 requirements require that financial statements prepared in the currency in circulation in the economy with high inflation be presented at the purchasing power of this currency at the balance sheet date and that the amounts in previous periods are rearranged in the same way. The indexing process was carried out using the coefficient obtained from the Consumer Price Index in Turkey published by the Turkish Statistical Institute ("TUIK").
The relevant figures for the previous reporting period are rearranged by applying the general price index so that comparative financial statements are presented in the unit of measurement valid at the end of the reporting period. Information disclosed for previous periods is also presented in the measurement unit valid at the end of the reporting period.
However, certain items from our financials are also presented without inflation adjustment for information purposes in order to give an idea of our performance relative to the Price Determination Report, which was prepared on 4 September 2023 and published on Public Disclosure Platform on 13 October 2023 and relative to our 2024 forecasts, which we announced on 25 December 2023 and which were based on the financials without inflation adjustment. Below analysis is based on unaudited financial statements without the application of IAS 29.

* Unadjusted for IAS 29
Our system-wide sales saw a 59% year-on-year increase, reaching 12.2 Billion TL. This was driven by a 16% increase in the number of tickets and a 37% increase in average ticket size. The number of tickets rose notably by 16% year-on-year to 12.2 Million in 1Q 2025. Despite cycling through eight additional Ramadan days compared to 1Q 2024, and the extra day from the 2024 leap year, this strong performance reflects the success of our value-driven menu offerings, competitive pricing supported by scale efficiencies, and favorable weather conditions — all underscoring the strength of our value proposition.
The average ticket size rose by 37% year-on-year in 1Q 2025, broadly in line with inflation trends. A higher share of value meals in our sales mix was offset by a higher share of double-meal deals. While we remained competitive in our pricing offers, we also successfully passed on cost inflation to our product prices.
Our Double-Deal Whopper, Big King, and Chicken Royal menus for Burger King, along with various Maxi Menu offerings for Popeyes, were very well received. Special promotions during Ramadan also helped us strengthen our bond with customers.





The number of sandwiches sold rose by 26%, driven primarily by the value segment, while premium products grew by 16%, showcasing a downtrading effect and highlighting our ability to meet the needs of a broad consumer base.
Our annual gross profit increased by 66% year-on-year, reaching 1.5 Billion TL. Accordingly, the gross margin materialized at 17.6%, representing a 1.0 percentage point improvement compared to last year. Strong growth in the number of tickets and topline helped us lower fixed costs as a percentage of revenue.
TAB Gıda reported Adjusted EBITDA of 1.4 Billion TL, corresponding to 61% year-on-year growth. The Adjusted EBITDA margin was posted at 16.5%, reflecting a 50 basis point improvement on a year-on-year basis.
In line with strong operational performance, at the bottom line, TAB Gıda recorded 1.1 Billion TL net income in 1Q 2025, marking a 79% year-on-year increase.
As of the end of 1Q 2025, total cash stood at 7.0 Billion TL with practically no financial debt. Our balance sheet and operations have virtually no foreign currency risk, with no FX-denominated debt and local procurement practices minimizing exposure.
With the solid set of 1Q 2025 results, we have kept our outlook for 2025 unchanged and remain confident in our ability to deliver on our long-term growth ambitions.
