>>The investor presentation, which includes the strategic roadmap, has been updated and is now available on the Kontrolmatik website
(+) By the end of 2024, consolidated sales revenue reached USD281m, demonstrating an impressive 73% year-overyear growth in USD terms. Revenue exceeded the targeted level of USD251m by 12%. This strong momentum was driven by operational excellence, effective project management, and strategic market expansions.
(+) Kontrolmatik has continuously sustained its growth momentum in electrification, automation, and digitalization, further strengthening its position in the industry.
(+) As of 2024, the company is steadily transitioning to a more balanced and diversified production structure, supported by the growing revenue contributions of its core business and subsidiaries. The rising share ofsubsidiaries in consolidated revenue supports portfolio expansion and enhances horizontal integration capabilities. Thisstrategic transformation also strengthens the group's resilience to economic fluctuations, reinforcing its long-term growth.
(+) Currently, USD 450m worth of contracts are being executed solely within Kontrolmatik's system integration operations, with approximately USD 143m invoiced in 2024. Simultaneously, the order backlog continues to strengthen and grow with newly secured projects. This robust order accumulation not only supports sustainable growth momentum but also enhances the company's financial outlook, enabling it to confidently pursue its strategic goals for the future.
(+) Oursubsidiary Pomega hassigned sales contractstotaling USD 26.9m for the installation of 62MW energy storage systems with Fortis Enerji and 32MW with a domestic customer. As of 2024, Pomega has contributed to revenue, and with two newly secured contracts, Pomega signals strong growth for 2025. We anticipate rapid expansion in Turkey's energy storage market from 2025, driven by regulatory clarity in revenue models and improved access to financing.
(+) One of our subsidiaries, Emek, has signed a contract worth TL 188m with TEİAŞ. In 2024, the export share of total revenue reached 60%. With its solid production experience, Emek is expected to increase its contribution to consolidated revenue in 2025.
(+) Despite being in the investment phase, our subsidiary McFly has signed a USD 1.9m robotic automation contract with Yayla Gıda, aiming for strong growth in 2025.
(-) While the company continues to manage costs more efficiently and effectively, the expenses of subsidiaries with ongoing investments, reflecting directly on the income statement, are negatively impacting operating profitability.
(-) The simultaneous growth of subsidiaries has temporarily pressured consolidated EBITDA, operating profit, and net profit. This pressure has been further intensified by the direct recognition of operational expenses before the revenues from new projects are reflected in the financial statements. However, a gradual improvement in profitability ratios is expected as revenue increase of the subsidiaries.
(-) Exporting companies continue to experience the effects of exchange rate pressure, which is expected to persist into 2025. As a result, enhancing efficiency in personnel and general administrative expenses, which are incurred in Turkish Lira, has been set as a primary focus.
(+) Our total asset size has increased by 53% compared to the end of 2023, reaching an all-time high of USD 383m.
(+) Our company has made high-tech investments totaling USD 383m between 2021 and 2024. Moving forward into 2025 and beyond, the focus will be on operational efficiency and revenue generation from these investments. In this regard, accelerating investment returns and generating strong free cash flow will be among our primary strategic goals.
(+) Since the IPO, our company's investments have primarily been financed through long-term project funding, with the impact on the income statement reflecting gradually. The temporary financial pressure experienced during the ramp-up period of these investments is expected to decrease in 2025 and 2026, in line with the increased revenuegenerating capacity of our subsidiaries.
(+) The high proportion of TL-denominated debt on the balance sheet, along with increasing interest costs, is raising the financial burden and challenging the borrowing dynamics. As our company transitions to balance its investment process, the decrease in investment loans will be offset by the increased working capital needs driven by growth, leading to a shift in financing demand toward working capital loans. In this context, our company is undertaking comprehensive efforts to optimize the currency and maturity structure of its debt, aiming to strengthen its financing strategy. At the same time, we are exploring international financing alternatives and preparing for structural transformations that will support sustainable growth.
(+) In 2025, high-value-added projects will continue to be developed in our main business areas of electrification and automation. A selective approach will be adopted in tenders and potential business opportunities, prioritizing regions and projects with high profitability potential. In this context, strategic investments will focus on maximizing operational efficiency and project returns.
(+) Investments in electricity grids and energy production are increasing globally. Our intensive efforts continue in markets that align with our market potential, capabilities, and profitability expectations:
(+) Since 2016, as a result of our R&D investments aimed at developing high technology, a total of 66 inventions are in the patenting process, 6 of which have been granted patents. As a technology company, R&D investments will continue to be one of our strategic priorities in the future.
(+) In receivables management, the priority will be to focus on projects with high financial security, aiming to minimize collection risks. In this context, projects supported by international financial institutions such as the World Bank, KfW, and EBRD will be prioritized. We will participate in projects with strong collateral structures and longterm payment guarantees. Currently, 86% of our contract portfolio consists of projects with such payment guarantees.
(+) As new regulations for the battery sector are expected to come into effect in 2025, significant changes in market dynamics are anticipated with more clarity in the regulatory framework. At the same time, the expected gradual easing of the high-interest rate environment will increase investment appetite in local markets, creating movement in the sector. Our company will continue to develop strategies that support sustainable growth and regulatory compliance, proactively adapting to these macroeconomic changes.
