When compared to 2023 forecasts published in price determination report during public offering, 98% of revenue, 85% of EBITDA and 75% of net profit have been covered as of year end.
According to Turkish Financial Reporting Standards 15 ("TFRS 15"), implementation revenues and related costs beared to carry those implementations are deferred among contract periods.
While implementation revenues are deferred according to TFRS 15 in Company's financials, there is no such deferral effect in price determination report. When considered by excluding this effect, revenue amount in price determination report is totally covered.

For the 85% coverage of EBITDA; effects of USD/TL rate trend which was not in parallel to inflation, expenses arising from significant investments and other macro economic elements on costs acted as the main drivers. For the 75% coverage of net profit; current tax arising from foreing currency denominated assets as well as additional special taxes ruled by the provision of Law# 7440 - clause 10 as a result of Kahramanmaraş based earthquakes acted as the main drivers.
Our Company keeps its progress within the profit and loss statement projection framework provided during public offering.
