The production activities at the well and drilling pipe manufacturing facility, with a capacity of 300 thousand tons for oil and natural gas extraction activities, commenced in the third quarter of 2014. The facility, built on approximately 500,000 square meters of land, operates with over 400 employees.

The Florida Facility, situated on 28,600 square meters of land, has an annual longitudinal submerged arc welded (LSAW) pipe production capacity of 330,000 tons, while the Alabama Facility, spanning 30,800 square meters, has an annual spiral welded pipe production capacity of 220,000 tons.

In the first half of 2024;
The infrastructure and project business line significantly increased its revenue to \$488.4 million compared to the same period last year, due to the contribution of Berg Pipe, which was consolidated into the financials in April 2023, and ongoing projects.
Despite weak demand in the regions where it operates, declining raw material prices, and increased competition putting pressure on pricing, the revenue of the industry and construction business line increased by 2.7% y-o-y, reaching \$144.9 million.
Despite the weak outlook for pipe demand, the revenue of the automotive business line increased by 7.7% compared to the same period last year, reaching \$107.7 million.
In the energy business line, revenues decreased by 57.7% year-on-year to \$199.6 million, driven by the continued normalization of prices due to balanced supply-demand conditions and a decline in the rig count.
On a consolidated basis, product sales volume increased by approximately 41.9% compared to the previous year, reaching 619,000 tons. Around 81% of total sales revenue was generated in global markets, maintaining strong performance in international markets.
Revenue generated from the sale of high added value added, particularly pressure, precision and spiral pipes, in total revenue is 85% as of 1H24. During this period, the share of revenue from the sales of high value-added drilling and well pipes in the American market was 21% of total revenue, due to a decrease in the rig number and the balancing of supply and demand in the market.
With the acquisition of Berg Pipe, sales volume of high value-added spiral welded pipes increased significanlty compared to the previous year, The share of revenue generated from the sales of these pipes in total revenue realized as 51% in 1H24.
As a result, consolidated revenue increased by 19.9% y-o-y, reaching \$940.7 million.
Profit margins in the energy business line continued to normalize as expected due to balanced supply-demand dynamics in the market. During this period, the following factors emerged as pressures on profit margins: (i) increased competition and the impact of falling raw material prices on pricing, (ii) rising labor costs in Turkiye in dollar terms, and (iii) rising financing costs. Despite these challenges, (i) increased sales volume, (ii) cost-reduction measures and effcient management of expenses, (iii) balancing weak demand conditions by operating across different business lines and geographies, led to an EBITDA margin of 9.1% in the first half of the year, in line with expectations. EBITDA in the first half of the year was \$86 million, a decrease of 60.0% compared to the same period last year, also influenced by a high base effect from the previous year.
Profit Before Tax decreased by 81.6% y-o-y to \$31 million, while net profit declined by 84.2% to \$20 million.
Net debt increased from \$219 million in the end of 2023 to \$375 million, with the Net Debt/EBITDA2 ratio rising from 0.7x to 2.0x over the same period.
2 Net Debt/EBITDA ratios are calculated using EBITDA for the last twelve months.
