Our production volumes by model were as follows.
Passenger car sales in the European market remained flat, totaling 6.6 (0) million units.
During the same period, the European van market (1)-one of our largest export destinations-experienced a 13% decline, driven by continuing economic uncertainty and declining business investment.

Export revenue amounted to TL 299.7 bn (TL 252.8 bn), marking a 19% increase driven by higher sales volumes and the stronger EUR appreciation compared to the same period last year (1H'25 YTD €/TL Change: 27%; 1H'24 YTD €/TL Change: 8%).

Our domestic wholesale sales amounted to 50,890 units (49,559). During this period, our domestic wholesale volume increased by 3%, while our domestic sales revenue declined by 10% to TL 65.7 bn (73.2), due to intensified price competition and the impact of the sales mix.

Throughout the report, figures presented in parentheses refer to the same period of the previous year.
In 1H'25, Ford Otosan's profitability improved due to FX impact on short-term EUR receivables (1H'25 YTD €/TL Change: 27%; 1H'24 YTD €/TL Change: 8%).
Gross profit was recorded at TL30.8 bn (TL33.3 bn), reflecting a 7% YoY decline. As a result, the gross margin contracted to 8.4% (10.2%) in 1H'25. This margin compression was mainly driven by i) competitive pricing environment, which led to an increase in sales campaigns, ii) higher share of export revenues within the total revenue mix iii) increase in COGS due to higher proportion of EVs in production, attributed to inflationary environment and increase in imported vehicle cost related with FX movement.
Opex rose marginally to TL15.2 bn (TL14.9 bn), while net other income surged to TL4.6 bn (TL0.13 bn) primarily driven by a 91% increase in net foreign exchange income from operating activities. Consequently, operating profit increased by 10%, reaching TL20.2 bn (TL18.5 bn).
In this period, adjusted EBITDA® and adjusted EBITDA excluding other income ® were TL 30.6 bn and TL 26.0 bn, respectively, experiencing increases of 18% and 1%. Adjusted EBITDA® per vehicle amounted to EUR 1,839, while PBT per vehicle was EUR 976.
