In the second quarter of 2024, we continued to build on our strong start to the year, achieving robust growth across key metrics despite the challenging macroeconomic environment. As we have communicated on numerous occasions, our focus and priority remain on delivering profitability and value for our shareholders; consequently, paving the way for healthy and sustainable growth, as we keep our leadership position in the sector. Our system-wide sales, which include both our own restaurants and those operated by franchisees, reached 10.8 billion TL, marking a 76% year-on-year increase. Revenues showed a similar trend, delivering a 78% growth year-on-year on an unadjusted basis, as we continue to drive sustainable growth.
According to IAS 29, our revenues reached 7.5 billion TL, reflecting a 4% real growth year-on-year. Although we faced a modest decline in EBITDA, decreasing by 0.7%, our overall performance remains strong and aligns with our strategic focus on maintaining profitability, while expanding our market presence.
Operationally, we saw a continued increase in customer engagement, with the number of tickets rising to 57.1 million, a 5.3% growth year-on-year. Our focus on enhancing delivery services yielded a 17% increase in home delivery orders, reaching 13.1 million tickets this quarter. This ongoing growth in delivery highlights our ability to adapt to shifting consumer preferences and reinforces our leadership in the convenience and online ordering space.
Our expansion strategy remained on track as we opened 61 new restaurants, bringing our total count to 1,710 in 2Q 2024. This expansion is a key driver of our market share growth, with new restaurant openings contributing significantly to our system-wide sales. The proportion of like-for-like sales, excluding IAS 29 adjustments, increased by 65% year-on-year, indicating strong underlying business

performance. Notably, the average ticket size grew by 66%. Additionally, as new restaurant openings contributed to our system-wide sales, our ticket growth reached 5.3% quarter on quarter basis.
Technological innovation continues to play a critical role in our success. We have made significant progress in our digitalization efforts, with a total of 925 self-order screens installed in our restaurants by the end of 2Q 2024, driven by high customer acceptance and demand. Additionally, we are piloting service robots for table delivery, which are designed to enhance customer engagement, streamline operations, and improve overall efficiency. We are also exploring new ordering experiences, replacing traditional menu boards with self-order screens, allowing customers to place orders directly and pick them up at designated counters. This approach not only optimizes staffing levels and speeds up service but also modernizes the customer experience. Our Smartbox lockers are another innovation that we started testing in a few restaurants to improve operational efficiency and customer satisfaction by streamlining pick-ups and deliveries, ensuring accuracy and reducing wait times.
Looking ahead, our focus remains on sustaining profitability by capitalizing on high-margin opportunities and optimizing operational efficiency. We will continue to leverage our diverse brand portfolio to navigate changing market conditions and consumer preferences, ensuring stability and growth.
In closing, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of quality and safety, as reflected in our "Ne Yediğini Bil" ("Know What You Eat") platform. Starting from August, we have intensified our communication around this slogan, emphasizing our commitment to transparency and quality in food preparation. We remain dedicated to delivering meals that are both delicious and safe, reinforcing the trust and satisfaction of our customers.
We would like to extend our gratitude to our stakeholders, franchisees, employees, and investors for their continued support and confidence in our vision. Together, we are well-positioned to navigate the challenges ahead and achieve our long-term goals.
For FY 2024, as per our IPO valuation report projections excluding the impact of IAS 29 inflation accounting, we project 6.4 billion TL of EBITDA, implied 21% margin and 30 billion TL of revenue, an 80% growth. As we move into the second half, we keep our focus on maintaining our profitable growth momentum, even as we navigate a slowing economy, reduced consumer purchasing power, and a slightly higher market contraction than initially anticipated.
However, the macroeconomic pressures observed early in Q3 have been more pronounced than we initially expected, potentially may lead to a limited impact on our top line. We will need to closely monitor the remainder of Q3 and the start of Q4 to fully assess these effects. Nonetheless, we believe our resilient business model and unique positioning in the sector will help us to remain relatively stable, minimizing the impact of these challenges. If these conditions persist and our measures do not yield the desired results, we may need to consider adjusting our revenue projections by around 10%. Despite this, we remain confident in our ability to sustain our projected EBITDA margin and continue our commitment of long-term, sustainable growth. Similarly, we continue to plan to add around 200 new restaurants to our network consistently expanding our reach to our customers. Historically, we have consistently outperformed the market during challenging times, thanks to our strong brands, compelling value propositions, and robust technological infrastructure, which have reinforced our leadership. We expect similar trends to emerge in the current period.
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, 2024, 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.

| Profit before tax | 513 | 1,464 | 185% | 651 | 2,068 | 218% |
| Net income | 535 | 1,389 | 160% | 965 | 2,005 | 108% |
| Gross margin | 25.0% | 23.0% | -2.0 pp | 20.8% | 20.3% | -0.6 pp |

| Net income margin | 13.1% | 19.1% | 6.0 pp | 13.6% | 15.9% | 2.2 pp |
Our system-wide sales increased by 76% year-on-year to 10.8 billion TL. Similarly, our revenues increased by 78% compared to the previous year, totaling 7.3 billion TL. The number of tickets grew by 5.3% year-on-year to 57.1 million. Our focus on up-selling and a shift in ticket mix towards home delivery, where the average ticket size is generally higher, combined with our ability to pass on cost increases into product prices, contributed to the growth in average ticket size, leading to strong revenue growth.
Gross profit increased by 64% YoY and reached 1.7 billion TL. Gross margin materialized at 23.0%, corresponding to a 2.0 pp decline compared to the same period last year. As may be recalled, there was a minimum wage hike in July 2023 and as management we were proactively made some price adjustments ahead of the wage hike, which put our 2Q 2023 margins to a high plateau to cycle. All in all, we find the level of gross margin in 2Q 2024 healthy and in line with our full year expectations.
TAB Gıda reported Adjusted EBITDA of 1.7 billion TL, corresponding to 68% YoY growth. Accordingly, the Adjusted EBITDA margin was posted at 22.8% representing a modest 1.5 pp decline compared to the same period last year. Our operating expenses were 0.3 percentage points lower in 2Q 2024 compared to the same period last year, thanks to effective cost management measures.
3System-wide sales refer to the total sales of TAB-operated and Franchisee-operated restaurants.
Profit before tax jumped by 185% to 1.5 billion TL. Strong operational performance along with net financial income of 293 million TL booked in 2Q 2024 versus net financial expense of 226 million TL in 2Q 2023 helped our company to post strong improvement in profit before tax.
At the bottom line, TAB Gıda recorded 1.4 billion TL net income in 2Q 2024, marking a 160% year-onyear increase. Our company had booked a net tax income of 23 million TL 2Q 2023 on the back of fixed asset revaluations. This compares with a net tax expense of 75 million TL booked in 2Q 2024.
On the balance sheet front, we were able to grow our total assets by 10% in real terms as of 1H 2024 versus 2023 year end. Similarly our equity grew by 7% in real terms, providing a a solid foundation for our future growth and profitability.
As of the end of 2Q 2024, total cash stands at 5.0 billion TL with a financial debt of a mere 47 million TL. Our balance sheet and operations have virtually no foreign currency risk with no FX denominated debt and procurements taking place locally.
