Comments of Co-CEOs Özgür Çetinkaya, Gökhan Asok and Sinan Ünal

We are pleased to report a very strong second quarter of 2025, once again demonstrating the strength of our business model and our effective execution capabilities, even against a complex macroeconomic environment.

In 2Q 2025, system-wide sales, encompassing both company-operated and franchised restaurants, grew by 47% year-on-year, reaching 16 billion TL. Revenues under IAS 29 inflation accounting increased 9.3% in real terms to 11.1 billion TL, while EBITDA rose 4.1% in real terms to 2.5 billion TL, yielding a healthy 23% margin. At the bottom line, net income increased by 9.3% in real terms to 1.1 billion TL. These results highlight our capacity to generate profitable growth while maintaining operational discipline, despite having navigated through a challenging macro environment.

Customer engagement remained robust, with total number of tickets reaching 66 million in 2Q 2025, up by 15% year-on-year. This growth was fueled by the continued success of value meal offerings, our scale advantage in pricing, and brand-wide continuing menu innovations. Popular new products, such as flavored chicken wings at Popeyes, bowls at Usta Dönerci, and refreshing beverage lines across multiple brands; all gained strong traction. Personalized, location and time-based campaigns helped us broaden our customer base.

Physical expansion was another key highlight of the quarter. We opened 58 new restaurants in 2Q 2025, bringing the first half total to 89, and expanded our portfolio to 1,906 locations. Importantly, franchise participation increased to 46%, reflecting the trust and commitment of our partners. In light of favorable shifts in market dynamics, we have revised our full-year guidance and now expect to reach 250-300 new openings in 2025, well above our original plan of around 180. While we remain firmly committed to our franchise-led growth strategy, we are also tactically accelerating company-operated openings in prime locations to take advantage of the current market opportunity with speed and precision.

Our digital transformation continues to be a defining growth driver. Digital sales represented 48% of total sales in the second quarter of the year, up from 36% in 2024, reflecting steady progress in customer adaptation. With over 2,000 self-order screens installed system-wide, we are making the customer journey more convenient while driving higher average ticket sizes. Exclusive channels such as Tıkla Gelsin, QR codes, and self-order screens are scaling rapidly, enhancing both customer loyalty and profitability.

Brand equity remains at the core of our strategy. In the first half, we have deepened engagement with key consumer segments such as families and Gen Z, supported by lifestyle campaigns, seasonal partnerships, and AI-driven content creation that improves both reach and efficiency. Our Squishy campaign within our kids-meal offering alone drove over 1 million ticket sales in just one month. Innovation also continued to drive incremental visits and larger basket size, with cold coffee promotions and new refreshing beverage lines resonating strongly with younger demographics.

Taken together, these results reaffirm our strong market position, the resilience of our business model, and the effectiveness of our long-term strategy. We want to extend our sincere thanks to our dedicated restaurant teams and franchise partners, whose agility and commitment make this success possible. We enter the second half of the year with strong momentum, clear priorities, and unwavering confidence in our ability to deliver sustainable, profitable growth.

Outlook for the Second Half of 2025

Looking ahead, we remain highly confident in sustaining our growth momentum. We are raising our expansion target to 250–300 new restaurant openings in 2025, compared to our initial guidance of around 180. This reflects the exceptional market opportunity we see, as well as our readiness to capture it. In parallel, we now expect full-year revenue growth in the range of 45–50%, up from our prior guidance of more than 40%. We are also upgrading our EBITDA guidance to 8.2 – 8.4 billion TL (up from 8.0 – 8.2 billion TL), supported by strong year-to-date performance and continued focus on operational efficiency. Note that both revenue and EBITDA guidance are without the IAS-29 adjustments.

We maintain a disciplined growth strategy, focusing on securing prime, capex-efficient locations while driving higher sales, repeat visits, and operational excellence. In parallel with our accelerated expansion, we are continuing to invest in digitalization, deepening customer engagement through targeted innovation and marketing, and protecting profitability with a balanced approach to pricing and efficiency. Our market share is expanding not only through new restaurant openings, but also by attracting new customers and increasing visit frequency from our existing base — strengthening brand loyalty along the way. Collectively, these priorities position us well for a strong second half and sustained long-term growth.

Key Operational and Financial Figures

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 June 30, 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

In 2Q 2025:

In 2Q 2025, we achieved strong operational and financial results despite a challenging macro environment. Number of tickets rose to 66 million, marking an impressive 15% year-on-year increase, underlining the resilience of consumer demand. Our value meal offerings continued to be the main growth engine, while premium menus also contributed positively, as the sector faced broad trading-down trends. At the same time, new product launches and restaurant openings have helped us expand our customer reach, strengthening our market presence.

Consumer behavior trends were also reflected in spending patterns. The average ticket size rose 27% year-on-year, though this increase fell short of the quarterly inflation rate of around 35%. The gap was primarily driven by sales mix effects, as customers increasingly favored value meals with lower price points. This outcome remains fully aligned with our strategy, which prioritizes affordability and accessibility while sustaining profitable growth.

System-wide sales increased by 47% year-on-year to 15.8 billion TL. Our revenues grew 49% to 10.9 billion TL.

Gross profit increased by 45% YoY and reached 2.4 billion TL. Gross margin materialized at 22.3%. TAB Gıda reported Adjusted EBITDA of 2.4 billion TL in 2Q 2025, corresponding to 43% YoY growth. Accordingly, the Adjusted EBITDA margin was posted at 22.0% representing a modest 0.9 pp decline compared to the same period last year. While we successfully passed on our cost inflation into our

product prices, higher share of value meals in our sales mix had this minor impact on margins. All in all, we find the level of EBITDA margin in 2Q 2025 healthy and in line with our full year expectations.

At the bottomline, TAB Gıda posted net income of 1.8 billion TL, corresponding to a 29% YoY growth. Despite having distributed 915 million TL of cash dividends, TAB Gıda's total cash stands at 7.4 billion TL with virtually no financial debt.
