Interim / Quarterly Report • Aug 15, 2025

CONVENIENCE TRANSLATION INTO ENGLISH OF INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT ON SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN TURKISH

To the General Assembly of Besler Gıda ve Kimya San. Tic. A.Ş.

We have been assigned to the review whether the financial information in the review report of Besler Gıda ve Kimya San. Tic. A.Ş. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred as the "Group") prepared as at 30 June 2025 is consistent with the reviewed interim condensed consolidated financial information. Management is responsible for the preparation of the semi-annual report. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on whether the financial information provided in the semi-annual report is consistent with the reviewed interim condensed consolidated financial information on which we have expressed our conclusion dated 15 August 2025.

We conducted our review in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements ("SRE") 2410 "Review on Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". Our review includes the assessment as to whether the financial information included in the semi-annual report is consistent with the reviewed interim condensed consolidated financial statements and other explanatory notes. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Independent Auditing Standards, the objective of which is to express an opinion on the financial statements. Consequently, a review on the semi-annual financial information does not provide assurance that the audit firm will be aware of all significant matters which would have been identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to conclude that the accompanying financial information included in the review report is not consistent, in all material respects, with the interim financial information and the information presented in the explanatory notes to interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

VI. INDUSTRY OF THE GROUP AND ITS PLACE IN THE INDUSTRY

Frozen and Canned Food Industry

The frozen food sector, which is among the main business lines in which Besler operates, is a food industry branch that operates from the supply of raw materials suitable for freezing, (seed selection, production, purchase) to transporting raw material to the facilities under suitable conditions, from being stored in the premises to selection, picking, washing, sizing and processing with product-specific techniques and to the monitoring of customer results as a result of storage, loading, transportation, distribution, and consumption, by deep freezing and being packed in the appropriate ways and techniques.

The frozen food market has grown 13 times in the retail channel over the last 6 years, reaching 19.4 billion TL with a 66% revenue increase in H1 2025. (1) With a 16% tonnage growth, it has become one of the fastest-growing categories in FMCG Food.

VII. GOODS AND SERVICES PRODUCTION ACTIVITIES

Frozen and Canned Food Business Unit

Production

The Company operates in the frozen and canned food sectors under the SuperFresh and DFU brands and has an advanced production infrastructure in this business unit.

In facilities equipped with advanced production technologies, products are flash-frozen at -40°C using the IQF (Individual Quick Freezing) method, thus preserving the freshness and nutritional value as on the day they were harvested.

Thanks to cold chain logistics, products stored at -18°C are delivered to consumers in their original state. Quality standards are meticulously monitored and regularly reported. With an established organization for customer relations, consumer feedback is closely followed, and a continuous improvement process is maintained to enhance satisfaction with the products.

Sales and Distribution

SuperFresh has a strong distribution network reaching over 137 thousand sales points with 57 dealers, 195 distribution vehicles, and 20,339 freezers. It serves through dealers in traditional and out-of-home consumption channels, and through a direct sales organization in the modern channel. Products are also offered to discount markets and international markets through Private Label collaborations.

Research and Development Activities

In the first half of 2025, we launched and relaunched 20 new products at SuperFresh, ensuring that 18% of our total retail SuperFresh revenue came from new products.

Highlighted launches in frozen food:

• New large-size pizza varieties: margherita & kumru pizza

All-time sales records were broken; with a 40% tonnage growth and a +3 point penetration increase. (YTD 2025 vs 2024) As part of the "What's in the Fridge?" follow-up communication, the campaign concept was adapted for the Ramadan and summer periods, and in-store and digital communication activities were implemented.
• Integrated communication efforts were implemented to announce the success of being chosen as Türkiye's most beloved frozen food brand (LOVEMARK) through consumer research, strengthening brand image scores.
• As the leader in the frozen pizza category, February 9th World Pizza Day continued to be traditionally embraced. Occasional TV communication was carried out, supported by special discount setups for customers and online communication.
• With our pioneering project "Women Stars of Agriculture", firsts were achieved in the category. For the first time, a social responsibility project was transformed into a tangible product; the "Harvested Peas from the Aegean with WSA's Effort" product was launched exclusively for Migros. The product, which was featured on the menu of a Michelinrecommended restaurant, achieved high sales during the harvest season when fresh produce is abundant. High reach was obtained through the launch event, in-store activations, news coverage, and digital communication activities. With the aim of inspiring young people and ensuring the sustainability of employment in the agricultural sector, an internship program was implemented for the first time under TKY sponsorship.
• High visibility was achieved through public relations activities, reaching a total of 30 million people. A total of 13 press releases, 2 press events, 2,731 news items based on the releases, 29 special advertisements across 12 publications, and 8 news features were carried out.

transformation, the press release of the pioneering innovation project Safer, and the pea harvest news.

Export

Edible Fats & Oil Business Unit

Production

With our productions in 3 factories across 2 countries, we continuously develop our product portfolio to meet different needs and introduce innovative products to our customers with a forward-thinking approach.

We detail our production processes as determining the oil composition, preparing phases, emulsifying, and crystallizing. After the production of our products is completed, we ensure they are packaged and stored under the right conditions and delivered to our consumers through our strong sales and marketing network.

Margarine is a finely crystalline food substance made from a mixture of various oils, water, and non-fat milk. It is made entirely from vegetable oils, and the saturated fat content of tub margarines is almost the same as that of liquid oils like olive oil and sunflower oil. It does not contain cholesterol or trans fats. Packaged margarines have approximately 70% fat content, while tub margarines have about 60% fat content.

Vegetable oils such as palm, sunflower, soybean, cottonseed, canola, and their derivatives are commonly used in margarines produced in Türkiye. None of the oils found in nature, except extra virgin olive oil, can be consumed raw. They are made edible through various physical and chemical processes.

There is no single way to produce margarine, but the process involves relatively simple ingredients. First, the appropriate oil composition is determined. Then, this composition is mixed with non-fat milk or milk protein, necessary vitamins, and water to achieve the desired taste and nutritional values.

Sales and Distribution

With our widespread and strong domestic and international sales network, we aim to bring our products to our customers whenever needed. The sales of our consumer products are managed by Horizon, a subsidiary of Yıldız Holding, in the traditional channel, and by our own organizational structure in the modern channel. The sales of our secondary brands Halk, Yayla, and Luna in the traditional channel are also managed by our own organization. Our Private Label products are sold by Yeni Teközel, a Yıldız Holding group company.

The sales of industrial products are carried out by Besler, pastry and catering products by G2M Eksper, and export products by the Marsa sales organization.

Communication Campaigns:

New Category Launch

For the first time, stepping into a new area outside the edible fats category, a launch was carried out in the spread category with the Ülker Sürmix Ekmeküstü brand. Innovative flavors such as Cheese & Chocolate and Cheese & Honey were introduced to the market, offering a different approach. The products were distributed nationwide to consumers through national and local chains. In discount markets, they were placed on shelves with in-and-out applications in different varieties and sizes. All these efforts were reinforced with digital communication supports, ensuring the brand's engagement with consumers.

Out-of-Home Consumption

In the out-of-home consumption category of pastry oils, "Ustam Pastry Oils" brand is the market leader with its wide product portfolio, ease of use, taste, and strong communication, and continues to strengthen its position.

We are taking this leadership one step further by launching our new product, "Plain Butter Croissant", developed under our Ustam brand. At the same time, we are introducing a new croissant-oriented product under our Terem brand, strengthening our presence in the laminated dough category.

With all these innovations, we continue to strengthen and expand the out-of-home consumption portfolios of our Ustam, Bizim Yağ, and Terem brands, offering professionals more options, more flavor, and more confidence.

Export

According to TURKSTAT data, in the first half of 2025, as Marsa, we single-handedly accounted for 35% of Türkiye's edible oil exports. Reaching more than 50 countries across five continents, we continued to maintain our global strength.

Among the countries we export to are our neighboring markets Iraq, Syria, and Georgia, as well as a wide geography across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. In the consumer margarine category, we have been operating for over 30 years in Iraq and Georgia under our "Ona" brand; in Madagascar, we also maintain our presence in the consumer margarine category. In the out-of-home consumption segment, we are the market leader in the pastry category in Albania, and in the catering category in Iraq, Romania, and Kazakhstan.

In the Bulgarian market, we achieved a 15% growth across the catering, pastry, and consumer products categories, while our market share increased by 11% based on exports originating from Türkiye. In Africa, 70% of our total exports are carried out through our affiliate Marsa; and in the Libyan and Egyptian markets, we alone account for 60% of Türkiye's exports in the industrial, consumer, and pastry categories.

As of 2025, we made a strong entry into Georgia's rapidly growing tub margarine market with an innovative product. We launched our new Ona Kase product and, in a short time, activated it in over 100 sales points nationwide. This breakthrough has been a concrete reflection of our vision to both transform consumer habits and reshape the category.

Besler has established an internal control system to effectively manage its operations, minimize risks, and achieve its targets. This system is designed to protect the integrity of the Company's assets and information, increase operational efficiency, and ensure compliance with legal regulations. The internal control system is regularly evaluated in areas such as operational processes, financial reporting, risk management, and compliance by the Internal Audit Department established within the Holding. In addition to analyzing and evaluating the internal control systems, the Internal Audit Department also provides improvement suggestions to Besler' senior management. The Internal Audit Department shares the results of its activities with the Besler Audit Committee four times a year.

Risk Management

Risks identified through risk management processes are systematically monitored and measured using quantitative and qualitative measurement criteria in line with written risk policies in accordance with international standards and the Company's corporate risk appetite within the scope of risk management strategies that are vital for the Company's sustainable performance. These processes both increase transparency and ensure a more systematic assessment of risks in investment and operational decisions.

The Investor Relations and Risk Management Department, which operates under the Financial Affairs Directorate, carries out its activities in order to identify all kinds of risks that may jeopardize the existence, development, and continuity of the Company and that affect the decisions to be adopted or have already been adopted within the scope of the Company's activities, together with the risk owners, to plan and implement the necessary measures and actions, to ensure that the risks are managed in a coordinated manner within a management system, to review them, and to report them to the Senior Management. Senior executives are responsible for the management of risks related to their business functions or organizations, and for taking and monitoring the necessary actions to mitigate the impact and probability of such risks within the framework of action plans. Besler Early Detection of Risk Committee carries out, on the other hand, the activities for establishing the corporate risk management system implemented throughout the Company, ensuring its development, observing and monitoring its effective functioning, and reporting it to the Board of Directors.
