In the second quarter of 2025, our revenue increased by a strong 46% year-on-year, reaching 95.9m USD (2Q24: 65.6m USD). This notable growth was driven by higher revenues from domesJc and internaJonal EPC and energy storage projects, as well as contribuJons from expansion into new markets.
KontrolmaJk, maintaining its strong posiJon in system integraJon, is successfully execuJng contracts worth more than 600m USD. The order backlog of 468m USD backlog, supported by orders from new projects, reinforces the company's sustainable growth strategy while also strengthening its financial outlook.
As of the second quarter, the signing of contracts for the BOTAŞ Adapazarı Compressor StaJon (78m USD) and the İSKİ Wastewater Treatment Plant (64m USD) projects have been completed and these are expected to make significant contribuJons to Türkiye's energy and water infrastructure while also strengthening KontrolmaJk's posiJon in the internaJonal market.
The producJon processes of our grid-scale energy storage systems by our subsidiary Pomega has been commissioned, and contracts totaling 80m USD have recently been signed in both domesJc and internaJonal markets. Aiming to bring its technological capabiliJes to the global market, Pomega has signed a strategic cooperaJon agreement with U.S.-based Our Next Energy Inc. (ONE) for the producJon of a total of 7 GWh of babery cells. Leveraging its strong posiJon in the energy sector with LFP babery technology, Pomega aims to expand its presence in the U.S. market and enhance its regional export capacity.
In addiJon, the technology transfer for the high-voltage Gas-Insulated Switchgear (GIS) producJon facility with Chint Electric has reached its final stage, and the manufacturing process for the Osmaniye GIS project has started. The Osmaniye gas-insulated substaJon project will serve as an important reference for domesJcally manufactured GIS projects.
In the second quarter of 2025, our gross profit stood at 15.0m USD (2Q24: 17.1m USD). The decline in gross profit was mainly due to the following temporary factors:
• In addiJon, cost inflaJon, parJcularly in labor, energy, and raw materials, caused some projects to fall short of targeted margins.
In parallel with the contracJon in gross profit margin, EBITDA also came under similar pressure, amounJng to 17.4m USD, with the margin decreasing from 29% to 18% compared to 2Q24.
In summary, despite our operaJons conJnuing at full pace, our profitability was temporarily affected by previously executed strategic investments, periodic shihs in invoicing schedules, differences between inflaJon and exchange rate movements and ramp-up processes related to capacity expansion.
In the second quarter of 2025, our general administraJve, markeJng, and R&D expenses amounted to 11.0m USD, compared to 7.1m USD in the same period of the previous year. Despite this increase, these expenses remained close to last year's level as a percentage of sales, at 11.5% versus 10.9%. The increase in general administraJve expenses is driven by higher operaJonal costs in line with the expanding organizaJonal structure, as well as the costs of overseas offices established in growing markets. This reflects the company's scaling process and the establishment of a strong corporate structure to support exisJng investments. With acceleraJng revenue growth in the coming quarters and effecJve cost management, the share of these expenses in total revenue is expected to decline.
The main reasons for the increase in our financing expenses in the second quarter of 2025 were the financing of investments and the higher working capital requirements. The doubling of our group's revenue last year significantly increased its working capital needs. In addiJon, high interest rates placed further pressure on financing costs.
In the first half of 2025, our fixed assets grew by 14.1%, reaching 410.2m USD (2024 year-end: 359.9m USD). This increase was supported by producJon capacity investments, equity contribuJons to subsidiaries, and technology-focused asset acquisiJons, reflecJng our strong commitment to long-term growth objecJves.
(+) Our strong order backlog in system integraJon and technology-focused EPC projects supports revenue visibility for the next 12–18 months. Our year-end consolidated revenue is expected to be in the range of USD 400–450 million.
(-) High interest rates, volaJle inflaJon, and uncertainJes in global demand condiJons conJnue to exert pressure on profitability across the sector in the short term.
(+) Our company has received approval from the Capital Markets Board for the issuance of Eurobonds of up to 100m EUR and has iniJated. This step will contribute to converJng short-term TRY debt into medium- to long-term foreign currency–based financing, reducing the cost of capital, and strengthening the balance sheet's resilience.
(+) In line with the European Green Deal and regulaJons aimed at Türkiye's energy transiJon, the growing demand for sustainable infrastructure projects highlights our company's integrated soluJons in energy, automaJon, and digitalizaJon.
(+) The projects we undertake on a global scale remove our dependence on any single market and opJmize risk diversificaJon. Projects carried out simultaneously in the Americas, Europe, Africa and the Middle East support this strategic diversity.
(+) Our growing share in projects supported by insJtuJons such as the World Bank, EBRD, and KfW reinforces our company's credibility and sustainable growth strategy. In this context, the proporJon of highly collateralized projects in our total porrolio has also increased.
(+) Our subsidiaries have also started contribuJng to revenue:
(+) While conJnuing our sustainability efforts at full speed, our first TSRS-compliant report will be published simultaneously with the second quarter 2025 financial statements. This report aims to contribute to financial decision-making processes by providing informaJon on climate-related risks and opportuniJes.
