Comments of Co-CEOs Özgür Çetinkaya, Gökhan Asok and Sinan Ünal

Our third-quarter results once again highlight the strength and resilience of our business model. We delivered solid growth across all brands and channels, despite a challenging macro environment. Our disciplined execution, focus on efficiency, and continued progress in digital transformation are clearly paying off.

We are especially pleased with the strong traffic growth across our restaurant network and the ongoing momentum in our delivery and digital channels. The steady rise in digital penetration and customer engagement shows how effectively we are adapting to changing consumer habits while driving both efficiency and loyalty.

In 3Q 2025, system-wide sales, including both company-operated and franchised restaurants, grew by 49% year-on-year to 17.4 billion TL. Revenues under IAS 29 rose 15.1% in real terms to 12.3 billion TL, while EBITDA increased 11.2% in real terms to 2.7 billion TL with a healthy 22.3% margin. Net income also rose 31% in real terms to 944 million TL. These results underscore our ability to deliver profitable growth while maintaining operational discipline in a challenging environment.

Our restaurant portfolio continues to expand at an accelerated pace, reinforcing our leadership in the quick-service restaurant sector. In the third quarter, we opened 76 new restaurants, bringing our total to 1,975 locations. Popeyes led the growth with 46 new openings, reflecting strong brand momentum and consumer demand. Year-to-date, we've opened 165 new restaurants. Importantly, majority of new openings are in high-traffic, prime locations with existing infrastructure and equipment, resulting in lower capex needs and shorter ramp-up periods.

Customer engagement remained strong, with total transactions reaching 66.6 million in the quarter — up 23% year-on-year. Our teams continued to strengthen brand equity through innovative

marketing, product development, and digital engagement. From value-driven offers to premium menu innovations, and from loyalty tools to creative collaborations, our brands continue to connect deeply with consumers, which stands as a key driver of this outstanding performance.

We kept our menus fresh with a variety of new items — from Burger King and Subway snacks to Usta Dönerci bowl products, Popeyes buffalo wings, and Subway's croissant and salad range. The Burger King–Heinz collaboration, featuring limited-edition signature burgers, quickly became a customer favorite.

We also deepened emotional connections with families and younger audiences. Kids' menu sales grew nearly 80% year-over-year, supported by popular toy campaigns such as The Smurfs. At the same time, we expanded our Gen Z reach through digital and entertainment platforms and boosted brand visibility by joining 22 festivals over 82 days, creating more community-driven touchpoints.

Digital transformation remains a key growth engine. Digital sales accounted for 48% of total sales so far in 2025, up from 36% in 2024. With about 2,400 self-order screens installed system-wide, we are making the customer journey more convenient while increasing average ticket sizes. Tıkla Gelsin, QR ordering, and self-order screens are scaling quickly, strengthening both customer loyalty and profitability. Meanwhile, the delivery channel represented 28% of total sales, up from 24% a year ago, supported by growing demand for convenience and wider visibility across aggregator platforms.

Altogether, these results reaffirm our strong market position, the resilience of our business model, and the effectiveness of our long-term strategy. We thank our dedicated staff and franchise partners for their commitment and hard work. Their commitment on the ground has been essential to achieving these results. As we enter the final quarter of the year, we do so with solid momentum, clear priorities, and strong confidence in meeting our full-year targets.

Key Operational and Financial Figures

Based on the CMB's decision dated 28 December 2023 and numbered 81/1820 and the "Implementation Guide on Financial Reporting in High Inflation Economies" published by the POA with the announcement made on 23 November 2023, issuers and capital market institutions subject to financial reporting regulations applying Turkish Accounting/Financial Reporting Standards will apply inflation accounting by applying the provisions of IAS 29, starting from their annual financial reports for the accounting periods ending as of December 31, 2023.

As of September 30, 2025, an adjustment has been made in accordance with the requirements of IAS 29 ("Financial Reporting in High Inflation Economies") regarding the changes in the general purchasing power of the Turkish Lira. IAS 29 requirements require that financial statements prepared in the currency in circulation in the economy with high inflation be presented at the purchasing power of this currency at the balance sheet date and that the amounts in previous periods are rearranged in the same way. The indexing process was carried out using the coefficient obtained from the Consumer Price Index in Turkey published by the Turkish Statistical Institute ("TUIK").

The relevant figures for the previous reporting period are rearranged by applying the general price index so that comparative financial statements are presented in the unit of measurement valid at the end of the reporting period. Information disclosed for previous periods is also presented in the measurement unit valid at the end of the reporting period.

However, certain items from our financials are also presented without inflation adjustment for information purposes in order to give an idea of our performance relative to the Price Determination Report, which was prepared on 4 September 2023 and published on Public Disclosure Platform on 13 October 2023 and relative to our 2024 forecasts, which we announced on 25 December 2023 and which were based on the financials without inflation adjustment. Below analysis is based on unaudited financial statements without the application of IAS 29.

* Unadjusted for IAS 29

In 3Q 2025:

In 3Q 2025, TAB Gida delivered another quarter of strong operational and financial results, despite a challenging macroeconomic environment. Our performance once again demonstrated the strength of our business model and the resilience of consumer demand for our brands.

The number of tickets reached 67 million, representing an impressive 23% increase year on year. This solid growth in transaction volumes highlights consumers' continued engagement with our brands and underlines the relevance of our value proposition in an environment where consumers' wallets remain under pressure. Our value meal offerings continued to be the main growth engine, helping us reach a broader customer base and maintain high traffic to our restaurants. At the same time, premium menus made a positive contribution to overall sales, which is particularly noteworthy given that the broader sector continued to face clear trading-down trends.

We also continued to strengthen our market presence through new product launches and restaurant openings, which helped us attract new customers and enhance accessibility across our network. These initiatives not only supported short-term growth but also reinforced the foundation for sustainable expansion in the coming periods.

Consumer behavior trends were clearly reflected in spending patterns. The average ticket size increased by 22% year on year, though this remained below the quarterly inflation rate of around 33%. While we reflected cost inflation in pricing, this is on the back of two reasons. Firstly, our procurement efficiencies kept cost inflation well below headline inflation. Secondly, sales mix shifted

toward value-meal offerings, with lower price points. This development is fully aligned with our strategic focus on maintaining affordability and accessibility, while ensuring that our growth remains profitable and balanced.

At the system-wide level, sales rose by 49% year on year to 17.4 billion TL, driven by both higher traffic and effective pricing. Our revenues grew even faster, increasing 54% to 11.8 billion TL, supported by solid performance across company-operated and franchised restaurants.

On the profitability side, gross profit increased by 43% year on year, reaching 2.5 billion TL, with a gross margin of 20.9%. Adjusted EBITDA stood at 2.6 billion TL, up 49% year on year, corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 22.0%. This represents only a 0.7 percentage point decline compared to the same period last year. While we successfully passed cost inflation through to our menu prices, the slightly lower margin mainly reflects the higher share of value meals in our overall mix. We view this as a natural and temporary outcome of current market conditions. Importantly, the EBITDA margin level achieved in 3Q remains healthy and fully in line with our full-year expectations.

At the bottom line, TAB Gıda reported net income of 1.7 billion TL, showing a 51% increase year on year. We also maintained a strong financial position, ending the quarter with 8.3 billion TL in total cash and virtually no financial debt. This balance sheet strength provides us with significant flexibility to continue investing in growth initiatives, while also maintaining resilience in a dynamic macro environment.

In light of our third quarter performance, we maintain our full-year guidance. However, given our strong momentum in both operations and profitability, we now see a higher likelihood of closing the year toward the upper end of our guidance range. This reflects our confidence in the business fundamentals, our continued execution discipline, and our ability to navigate a complex operating environment while delivering sustainable growth.
