  • ⚫ Next phases will expand integration with a steam cracker and advanced petrochemical units, supporting long-term growth and product diversification

SASA low-cost position further strengthened by vertical integration

• SASA's vertical integration into PTA – one of its main feedstock alongside MEG – has reduced imports dependency, enhanced supply security, and generated savings on freights and custom duties. Moreover, it will enable SASA to capture value across the entire production chain. The majority of the PTA output is being used for the company's internal consumption ✓ ✓

PTA Vertical Integration to Yumurtalık Crude oil to Chemicals (COTC) Investment – will bring SASA additional sustainability strength and ability to gain price margin starting from Crude/Condansate up to Polyester

• Operating within Türkiye's tax-protected environment, SASA maintains a leading position in the domestic market, backed by robust technological infrastructure and strategic investments focused on vertical integration

Robust Financial Profile Serving as a Proof of Strategy…

Net Sales EBITDA

  • 2021 Growth: Revenue increased due to (i) production capacity rising to 1.4 kton/year and (ii) utilization rate improving from 71% to 83%
  • 2022 Volatility: Elevated raw material prices supported higher net sales but volatility balanced out previous gains
  • 2023-25 Decline: Macroeconomic policies and shrinking domestic and export market demand, especially in Europe and China, put pressure on revenue figures

  • 2022 Peak: Despite volatile raw material prices due to the Ukraine crisis, increased production capacity enabled SASA to achieve higher EBITDA
  • 2023-25 Decline: Global recession and continued cost pressures, particularly from feedstock and materials, led to a decrease in EBITDA

Macroeconomic Environment: Inflation-fighting policies in Türkiye and Europe, combined with weak demand in China, continue to pressure profit margins Export Market Dynamics: Surplus raw materials are being sold to foreign markets at aggressive prices, further impacting profitability

DRAFT

{15}------------------------------------------------

…of our continued investments in the platform through the cycle…

Leverage ratio is calculated using EBITDA based on the sum of the last 12 months' EBITDA (including pension provisions for 2025/9)

{16}------------------------------------------------

...to further strengthen our competitive position vs. global competition

PTA Plant-Gate Cash Cost, by 2030 (\$/t nominal)¹

  • SASA's PTA assets are projected to be positioned in the 2nd quartile globally by 2030, leveraging integrated feedstock supply to achieve a cost base below most regional and Western competitors
  • Rapid expansion of low-cost Chinese PTA capacity reshapes the global market, increasing margin pressure on higher-cost producers in Europe
  • SASA's competitive cost position supports resilient margins and enables opportunistic sales to both domestic and export markets, even as global competition intensifies
  • SASA's Yumurtalik COTC Integration Project is envisaged to position SASA's PTA asset in the 1st quartile by producing feedstock for PTA on-site, leading to reduced feedstock prices and elimination of freight costs for imports2

Protective measures: Customs tariffs and anti-dumping duties in Türkiye and the EU support SASA's competitiveness (e.g. EU anti-dumping duties on Chinese PET contribute to Turkish exports to the EU)

Market access: Duty-free trade agreements with the EU give SASA a cost advantage, enabling lower-cost entry to the EU market vs. non-EU competitors facing tariffs

Further Investments to Drive Vertical Integration and Support Growth

Targeted investments and upstream integration are key to SASA long term visions, both in terms of sales growth and profitability

  • Approach: Investment plans and related financing structure always take the leverage ratio into consideration as a priority
  • Flexibility: Modular structure of the investments allows SASA to manage construction and implementation process according to market conditions

Land acquisition & expansion

  • SASA won a public tender1 of 4.06mn square meter land privatization in Adana/Yumurtalık region, the petrochemical cluster privatized by Turkish Government, in June 2022
  • Cost of the real estate is TRY 2,139 million (USD 120 million), of which 25% has been paid in cash, while the remaining amount is being paid in equal installments over 5 years
  • ⚫ With the acquisitions, the total amount of land has reached 6.5 million square meters as of end of September 2025

Project development

SASA is planning to establish a refinery and petrochemical production facility on this land, where semi-processed raw materials used in polyester polymer production as well as certain high valueadded products will be manufactured

Strategic impact

⚫ Production will be 100% import substitution

Timeline

Project is expected to kickoff in 2027.

Current Trading Update

2025 financial performance

  • ⚫ Overall financial performance in 2025, from a revenue and EBITDA perspective, is expected to remain below what was achieved in 2024, but always consistent with our previous projections.
  • ⚫ Supported by contributions from completed investments, revenue and EBITDA in H2 2025 are expected to exceed the levels achieved in the same period of 2024

2025 net debt, leverage, CESCE-covered facility waiver, and other short term borrowings

  • ⚫ As of Q3 2025, net debt / LTM EBITDA was 18.7x
  • ⚫ With the effects of the aforementioned completed investments in purified terephthalic acid (PTA) and melt to resin (MTR), net leverage in Q4 2026 is expected to record a sizeable fall to 8x
  • ⚫ As disclosed in the Q2 2025 audit report of SASA, some of the Group's loan agreements related to the PTA investment contain covenants that must be complied with, and as of 30 June 2025, according to these covenants, performance criterion have not been met. This caused financial statement to reflect a significant increase in the short term debt. Pursuant to discussions with the lenders of the CESCE facility, the Group has obtained the necessary waivers. As such the CESCE covered loan will be reclassified back to long-term borrowings (save for the short-term portion of the relevant borrowings)
  • ⚫ SASA is actively engaging with its local creditors to refinance outstanding short-term financial debt. Based on established relationships with these lenders, SASA does not anticipate any challenges in refinancing of its maturing loans in line with ordinary course of business

PTA Investment of SASA

Vertical Integration Into PTA to Positively Impact the Margins

SASA will meet all of its PTA requirements from its own PTA facility located in Adana

  • PTA is the primary feedstock for the production of polyester-based products
  • SASA invested ~USD1.75bn to build 1.75mt PTA capacity, which will reduce its dependence on imports and expand its polyester business with support for recent investments in PET resin and polyester fiber and filament products
  • Additionally, the investment will allow to capture the spread between PTA and PX (PX is used as a feedstock for PTA and will be accessed from the Persian Gulf region)

Key Structural Drivers

  • Domestic demand: PTA demand in Türkiye is expected to increase >2.3mt by 2026, entirely absorbing incremental capacity
  • Duty protection: SASA key domestic market, duty protected to ensure the competitiveness of the critical petrochemical sector
  • Government's strong incentive support: corporate tax discount, income tax withholding, energy consumption incentive, employer's national insurance contribution support, qualified personnel support, interest rate support from the government of Türkiye to support investments
  • Technology: PTA cost competitiveness between regions is largely determined by choice of process technology. SASA employs P8, Invista's latest version of its PTA production technology, reducing PX, acetic acid and power usage on a ton per ton basis vs. older PTA Technologies

SASA will gain a competitive advantage mainly due to time spent in transportation, inventory adjustment and duty costs

With PTA produced within the country, the current account deficit reducing effect is expected to be ~300 million USD

The facility is the highest-capacity PTA plant in the EMEA region
