Hepsiburada Announces
Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results
ISTANBUL, December 10, 2024 - D-MARKET Electronic
Services & Trading (d/b/a “Hepsiburada”) (NASDAQ: HEPS), a leading Turkish e-commerce platform (referred to herein
as “Hepsiburada” or the “Company”), today announces its unaudited financial results for the third quarter and
the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Restatement
of financial information: Pursuant to the International Accounting Standard 29, Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary
Economies (“IAS 29”), the financial statements of entities whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy
must be adjusted for the effects of changes in a general price index. Turkish companies reporting under International Financial Reporting
Standards (“IFRS”), including the Company, have been required to apply IAS 29 to their financial statements for periods ended
on and after June 30, 2022.
The Company’s consolidated financial
statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, including figures corresponding to the same periods
of the prior year, reflect a restatement pursuant to IAS 29. Under IAS 29, the Company’s financial statements are presented in
terms of the measuring unit current as of September 30, 2024. All the amounts included in the financial statements which are not
stated in terms of the measuring unit current as of the date of the reporting period, are restated applying the general price index.
Adjustment for inflation has been calculated considering the price indices published by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat).
Such indices used to restate the financial statements as at September 30, 2024 are as follows:
Date | | |
Index | | |

Figures
unadjusted for inflation in accordance with IAS 29, denoted as “IAS 29-unadjusted”, “unadjusted for IAS 29”,
“unadjusted”, “unadjusted for inflation”, or “without adjusting for inflation”, are also included
in the summary tables of the consolidated financial statements and under the “Highlights” section and explanatory notes as
relevant. The press release also includes tables that show the IAS 29 adjustment impact on the consolidated financial statements for
the periods under discussion. Figures unadjusted for IAS 29 constitute non-IFRS financial measures. We believe that their inclusion facilitates
the understanding of the restated financial statements in accordance with IAS 29 and our year-on-year growth and profitability guidance.
Please see the “Presentation of Financial and Other Information” section of this press release for a definition
of such non-IFRS measures, a discussion of the limitations on their use, and reconciliations of the non-IFRS measures to the most directly
comparable IFRS measures.

Due to a clerical error, (Order) Frequency as of September 30, 2023 was reported incorrectly as 8.6 in the Company’s
earnings release for the third quarter of 2023 published on December 5, 2023.
Commenting on the results, Nilhan Onal Gökçetekin,
CEO of Hepsiburada said:
“Our third quarter performance once
again confirms our commitment to sustainable growth and improved profitability. Working towards our strategic priorities, we have delivered
another solid set of results, meeting our quarterly financial guidance. Adjusted for inflation, our GMV growth in Q3 2024 came in at
10.3%, with EBITDA as a percentage of GMV at 1.2%, up by 0.9 percentage points compared to the same period last year. Moreover, we
marked a milestone in our Q3 2024 results by recording positive quarterly operating income for the first time since our IPO.
As Türkiye’s most recommended e-commerce
brand, we once again scored an NPS of 75. Customers identified our speed of delivery, range of affordability and lending solutions and
their trust in the Hepsiburada brand as the key factors in their preference for the platform. Our appeal is also evidenced by 233 thousand
net additions in our Active Customers, which reached 12.3 million by the end of the third quarter, and firm traction in Hepsiburada Premium
program enrollment, which reached approximately 3.7 million members as of the end of November.
Meanwhile, HepsiJet’s service excellence
and its commitment to flexible and convenient delivery options led to increased penetration among our merchants and other retailers.
In the third quarter of 2024, with a remarkable 6.8 percentage point yearly rise, HepsiJet delivered 74% of total parcels on our platform,
confirming its integral role in our delivery ecosystem. HepsiJet also continues its off-platform penetration, nearly doubling its volume
year-on-year, corresponding to nearly 35% of its total volume in the third quarter of 2024.
On the fintech front, Hepsipay’s proposition
has increased our relevance in the challenging economic climate with a comprehensive suite of affordability and lending solutions, unmatched
in the Turkish e-commerce sector. Our affordability solutions penetration rose to 8.8% of GMV by the end of the third quarter of 2024
with a total lending volume of TRY 13.6 billion over the last twelve months. On the payments front, Hepsipay stands out in the market
with its 17.6 million wallet customers and 21.1 million stored credit cards as of the end of November. As part of its off-platform efforts,
Hepsipay is already integrated at the checkout of 127 leading retailers as of the end of November 2024.
Our expectations for Q4 reflect the ongoing
challenging macroeconomic conditions. Despite continued pressure on consumer purchasing power, we anticipate sustained top-line growth
and margin expansion through diligent execution of our strong fundamentals. Accordingly, in the fourth quarter of 2024, we forecast GMV
growth within the range of 50% to 55% compared to the same quarter of 2023 and an EBITDA as a percentage of GMV within the range of 1.8%
to 2.0%. These figures are unadjusted for inflation.
With our founder’s vision, our employees,
business partners, and entire ecosystem, Hepsiburada has pioneered the digitalization of commerce in Türkiye for nearly a quarter
of a century, having introduced numerous industry firsts and innovative solutions. We are now entering a new period in Hepsiburada’s
history as Kaspi.kz (“Kaspi”) has entered into an agreement to acquire a controlling 65.4% stake in Hepsiburada, subject
to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. As Kaspi is the preeminent payments, marketplace and fintech ecosystem in Kazakhstan,
the synergies to arise from this deal are expected to propel Hepsiburada further on its ambitious journey. Our shared customer centricity
and service quality orientation confirm the strong cultural fit necessary for success. Kaspi’s expertise in fintech, technological
capabilities and experience will therefore underpin our commitment to remain a preferred companion in people's daily lives. We aim to
leverage the combined expertise of Kaspi.kz and Hepsiburada to advance e-commerce and digital services, fostering new opportunities for
SMEs and entrepreneurs in Türkiye and Kazakhstan.
We thank our shareholders for their belief
in our vision, our loyal customers and partners for their trust, and our dedicated team for their continued support.”

Q4 2024 and Full Year 2024 Outlook
The below forward-looking statements reflect
Hepsiburada’s expectations as of December 10, 2024, considering year-to-date trends that could be subject to change, and involve
inherent risks which we are unable to control or foresee. The financial outlook is based on management’s current views and estimates
with respect to existing market conditions. However, there are several factors which may impact the current outlook, including the inflationary
environment both in Türkiye and globally, local currency volatility, further tightening in monetary policy, low consumer confidence,
pressure on purchasing power, regional geopolitical headwinds, the regulatory environment for our activities in Türkiye and the
evolving competitive landscape. Management’s views and estimates are subject to change without notice. See also the “Forward
Looking Statements” section at the end of this press release.
For the fourth quarter of 2024, we expect to
deliver IAS 29-Unadjusted GMV growth within the range of 50% to 55% compared to the fourth quarter of 2023 and IAS 29-Unadjusted EBITDA
as a percentage of GMV within the range of 1.8% to 2.0%. Consequently, for the full year 2024, we expect to deliver IAS 29-Unadjusted
GMV growth of approximately 75% compared to the full year 2023 and to record IAS 29-Unadjusted EBITDA as a percentage of GMV within the
range of 2.1% to 2.2%.
Business and Strategy Highlights
As of September 30, 2024, the annual inflation
rate published by TurkStat was 49.4%, declining from 61.5% as of September 30, 2023, and 71.6% as of June 30, 2024. The monthly
inflation rates during the third quarter of 2024 were 3.2%, 2.5% and 3.0% in July, August and September, respectively. The Consumer
Confidence Index increased by nearly 6.7 points on a yearly basis to 78.2 as of September 30, 2024.
In
Q3 2024, IAS 29-Unadjusted GMV increased by 69.9% to TRY 41.2 billion compared to TRY 24.3 billion in Q3 2023, in line with
our guidance. Adjusted for inflation, GMV increased by 10.3% to TRY 42.3 billion in Q3 2024 compared to TRY 38.4 billion in Q3 2023.
GMV growth was attributable mainly to the 5.2% order growth and 4.7% average order value growth, both excluding that of digital products
(which mainly include sweepstakes and gamified lotteries as well as the first monthly payment of Hepsiburada Premium membership subscription).
We
experienced order growth of 18.9% compared to Q3 2023, resulting from the continued rise in order frequency during the third quarter
of 2024. Our order frequency (LTM) grew by 15.6% to 10.8, up from 9.42
as of September 30, 2023. Strong customer demand for our digital products contributed to the rise in order frequency.
Excluding the orders of digital products, order frequency would have been 6.7 as of September 30, 2024 compared to 6.1 as of September 30,
2023, corresponding to 9.4% growth. Accordingly, order growth excluding that of digital products was 5.2% in Q3 2024 compared to Q3 2023.
While these digital products only generated around 0.4% of our GMV in Q3 2024, we value the repeat interaction they enable with the participating
customer segments.
Overall,
our performance was also supported by the appeal of our Hepsiburada Premium loyalty program, attractive affordability solutions and data-driven
marketing campaigns. Our Net Promoter Score (“NPS”) of 75 in Q3 2024, in line with the score obtained in Q2 2024 (according
to the results of market research conducted by FutureBright on behalf of Hepsiburada), positioned us, once again, as the number one most
recommended e-commerce platform in Türkiye.
We remain committed to executing our strategic
priorities that include: a) nurturing loyalty, b) capitalizing on our clear differentiation of superior delivery services, c) capitalizing
on our clear differentiation through affordability and lending solutions and d) offering our payment, lending and last-mile services
to third parties.
The
discussion below elaborates on our progress in Q3 2024 within each of our strategic priorities:
a) Nurturing loyalty
| · | Central
to our strategy is prioritizing customer loyalty and retention. Our loyalty program, Hepsiburada
Premium, continues to play a key role in achieving this. Meanwhile, focusing on retention
has helped us to reduce and optimize our marketing and advertising spend. |
2 Due to a clerical error, (Order) Frequency as of
September 30, 2023 was reported incorrectly as 8.6 in the Company’s earnings release for the third quarter of 2023 published on
December 5, 2023.
| · | Hepsiburada
Premium members more than doubled, reaching 3.3 million by the end of Q3 2024 compared to
1.5 million by the end of Q3 2023. The number of Hepsiburada Premium members reached nearly
3.7 million by November 30, 2024. |
| · | Hepsiburada
Premium members continue to generate higher order frequency than non-members. In Q3 2024,
the monthly order frequency for members was 31% higher than before joining the program. |
| · | To
mark the second anniversary of the Hepsiburada Premium program, we held Hepsiburada Premium
Days from July 16 to July 25, 2024, offering exclusive campaigns to our Premium
members. The ten-day event prompted 130 million visits to the platform and 4 million products
were ordered through the platform. Premium members received 587 thousand orders with free
shipment and earned TRY 22 million cash back. During Premium Days, HepsiAd services were
used by 20 thousand merchants. |
| · | The
NPS for Hepsiburada Premium members was 84 in Q3 2024, according to the results of market
research conducted by the research company FutureBright on behalf of Hepsiburada. This score,
which is in line with the one obtained in Q2 2024, remains higher than the Company’s
overall NPS, which we believe signifies a strong satisfaction level among members. |
b) Capitalizing on our clear differentiation
of superior delivery services
| · | In
Q3 2024, HepsiJet continued offering competitive services, including our oversized delivery
services that differentiate us in the market. We believe that swift delivery is a core customer
expectation and, in Q3 2024, HepsiJet delivered 80% of the orders placed through our retail
arm (1P) within the next day (compared to 82% in Q3 2023). |
| · | HepsiJet
is also a key component of our value proposition for our merchants. In Q3 2024, HepsiJet
delivered approximately 74% of our total parcels (compared to 67% in Q3 2023). |
| · | The
NPS for HepsiJet was 88 in Q3 2024, according to our internal survey results, underscoring
its service excellence. Through HepsiJet, our customers enjoy flexible delivery options and
value added services including return from doorstep for all purchases on our platform. |
| · | Our
oversized package delivery service (HepsiJet XL) delivered 69% of oversized parcels ordered
through our platform in Q3 2024, up from 57% in Q3 2023. |
c) Capitalizing on our clear differentiation
through affordability and lending solutions
| · | Leveraging
our e-money and payment services licenses, we offer a comprehensive suite of payment and
affordability solutions on the Hepsiburada platform, as well as externally to other partner
retailers. |
| · | Our total financed
transaction volume (including BNPL, shopping loans, general purpose loans and consumer finance
loans) had reached TRY 13.6 billion over the last twelve months by the end of Q3 2024. 47%
of this amount was issued through partner banks in the form of shopping loans and general
purpose loans, while 53% was issued by Hepsiburada group companies (up from 47% in Q3 2023)
in the form of our BNPL solution and consumer finance loans. |
| o | As
of September 30, 2024, our BNPL solution had been used by over 465 thousand customers. |
| o | Approximately
1.4 million orders were processed through our non-card affordability solutions (including
BNPL, shopping loans and consumer finance loans) over the past 12 months. |
| o | In
Q3 2024, orders made through our BNPL solution, shopping loans and consumer finance loans
accounted for 6.5% of total GMV for the period, up from 6.1% in Q2 2024. |
| o | The
consumer tendency to use general purpose loans for shopping on our platform has also increased.
As such, including the impact of general purpose loans spent on the platform, GMV penetration
of all affordability solutions rose to 8.8% in Q3 2024 from 8.1% in Q2 2024. |
| o | By
September 30, 2024, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Hepsifinans, had provided over TRY
1,047 million in consumer finance loans since its launch in January 2024. |
| o | We
diligently manage credit risk in our BNPL, with a CoR3
of around 2.65% as of October 31, 2024, while remaining focused on growth
optimization. |
| o | Shopping
related credit receivables create limited balance sheet load with average durations of around
2.9 and 4.0 months for BNPL and consumer finance loans solutions, respectively, as of October 31,
2024. |
| o | Hepsipay
targets the consumer loan market which is estimated to have a total size of $40 billion in
Türkiye in 2024. (according to our estimate based on data published by the Banking Regulation
and Supervision Agency). |
| · | As
of September 30, 2024, Hepsipay registered approximately 17.0 million Hepsipay wallet
customers (representing users who have opened their wallet account by giving the required
consent to Hepsipay), up from 13.2 million as of September 30, 2023. As of November 30,
2024, the number of Hepsipay wallet customers had reached 17.6 million. Additionally, 21.1
million cards are stored in the wallets of Hepsipay customers. |
| · | As
of September 30, 2024, 1.7 million Hepsipay prepaid cards had been issued through the
Hepsiburada mobile app. The Hepsipay prepaid card can be used online at any e-commerce site
and is linked to the QR payment feature which allows customers to use it at any off-line
retailer that accepts QR payments. As of the end of November, the number of Hepsipay cards
issued reached 2.1 million. The option for Hepsipay prepaid card holders to top up their
e-wallets by way of general purpose loans is now available at ten leading banks in Türkiye. |
3 Cost of risk ratio represents the expenses or potential
losses due to defaults, non-performing loans or other credit-related risks within the underwritten volume.
| · | Hepsipay
targets the off-line card payments market for domestic cards with a size of $263 billion
and online payments with a size of $102 billion in 2024, each in Türkiye. (according
to our estimate based on data published by The Interbank Card Center and The Ministry of
Trade). |
d) Offering payment, lending and last-mile
delivery services to third parties
| · | We
believe that our strategy to extend our services and solutions beyond our platform by offering
them to other retailers, benefits both retail partners and customers. We see great potential
for both Hepsipay and HepsiJet to leverage their own assets and increase their revenue contribution
to our Company. |
| · | HepsiJet
today serves approximately 2,750 external customers, including household-name retailers.
We believe HepsiJet is best positioned to build on this momentum and grow its share in the
logistics market. |
| · | The
share of external customer volume in HepsiJet’s operations increased to 35.1% in Q3
2024, up from 24.8% in Q3 2023. The total parcel volume of third parties delivered in Q3
2024 almost doubled compared to Q3 2023. |
| · | As
of September 30, 2024, Hepsipay’s one-click check-out (“Pay with Hepsipay”)
offering was successfully integrated into the online checkout of 82 retailers, reaching 127
retailers by November 30, 2024. Total payment volume through “Pay with Hepsipay”
almost doubled compared to Q2 2024. By enabling payment with cards stored on the Hepsipay
wallet, Hepsipay has gained a share of these retailers’ online sales. |
ESG Actions
| · | In
Q3 2024, Hepsiburada continued its support in social, commercial and economic areas. |
| · | Our
“Trade and Technology Empowerment for the Earthquake Region” program, launched
in March 2023 a month after the earthquake, reached approximately 19,000 merchants.
This includes the 4,900 new businesses in the region that we recruited and trained to sell
their products online through Hepsiburada. Active sellers have generated a trade volume exceeding
TRY 7.2 billion since the program’s launch. Our E-Commerce Specialization Centers in
Adana, Hatay and Kahramanmaraş support existing merchants and organize training courses
and programs for those new to the e-commerce market, benefiting over a thousand merchants
from the region. |
| · | The
“Technology Empowerment for Women Entrepreneurs” (“TEWE”) program
reached an additional 2,537 women. To date, the TEWE program has supported approximately
57.5 thousand women entrepreneurs. Furthermore, as of September 30, 2024, the number
of women’s cooperatives on our platform had reached 276. |
| · | As
part of the TEWE program, various NGO collaborations have been established to provide sustainable
support to the earthquake zone. As of September 30, 2024, the number of women entrepreneurs
and women’s cooperatives in the impacted region had reached 3,804 and 43, respectively. |
| · | As
part of our ongoing social responsibility projects for animals, Hepsiburada has become the
microchip and ID card sponsor of The Rescue House Charity Association. Additionally, Hepsiburada
has created a “Support for Pawed Friends” page on its website. On this page,
our customers can donate products to the animal shelters of The Rescue House Charity Association.
Purchased products are sent directly to the shelters without the application of any delivery
costs. |
| · | Following
its initial launch in 2023, Hepsiburada relaunched its "Promise for Tomorrow" education
and internship program on August 12, recognized as International Youth Day by the United
Nations. The program, which began this year with 170 students, aims to reduce inequalities
and remove barriers to education and employment for university students, supporting their
integration into the digitalized world of commerce. At the end of the program, the top 10
performers in the program will have the opportunity to do an internship at Hepsiburada. |
| · | In
September 2024, Hepsiburada published its 2023 Sustainability Report, disclosing its
environmental, social, and governance (ESG) initiatives. |
Post Q3 2024:
| · | On
November 15, 2024, Hepsiburada and the Ministry of Family and Social Services signed
a cooperation agreement supporting Türkiye's entrepreneurial women. This partnership
aims to reinforce Hepsiburada's support for these entrepreneurs and reach a wider audience. |
Subsequent Events
Change of Control Transaction
On October 17, 2024, Kaspi.kz signed a Stock
Purchase Agreement with members of the Doğan Family to purchase Class A and Class B shares representing 65.41% of the
total outstanding share capital of Hepsiburada. The aggregate consideration for the transaction is approximately $1,127 million.
The transaction remains subject to customary
closing conditions and receipt of regulatory approvals by the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye, the Banking Regulation and
the Supervision Agency and the Information Technologies and Communication Authority in Türkiye. Approval from the Turkish Competition
Authority was granted on November 19, 2024. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2025.
Hepsiburada Announces the Third Issuance of
Asset-backed Securities
The third issuance of asset-backed securities
amounting to TRY 450 million, within the scope of the TRY 2 billion limit given by the Capital Markets Board to Pasha Yatırım
Bank Hepsiburada Varlık Finansmanı Fonu, settled on December 4, 2024. In this structure, Hepsiburada participated
as the originating entity with respect to its BNPL receivables. The issue consists of six tranches with an average maturity of 73 days
and at an annual average interest rate of 51.00%. Hepsiburada intends to use the funds raised through this issue to sustainably grow
its BNPL business and reduce its impact on working capital.
This third issuance follows a first issuance
of asset-backed securities amounting to TRY 150 million, which settled on June 5, 2024, and a second issuance of asset-backed securities
amounting to TRY 350 million, which settled on September 27, 2024.
Key Highlights of Our Performance During Legendary
November
Our business is characterized by seasonality,
with higher sales typically generated during the fourth quarter of the year. One key driver is the month of November during which

that we delivered yet another strong performance in November this year. Below are key highlights:
| · | Our
platform received 500 million visits in November. |
| · | On
Single’s Day, November 11, 2024, we recorded the highest daily traffic in Hepsiburada’s
history. |
| · | HepsiJet achieved
an average of approximately 606 deliveries per minute throughout the month. |
| · | The average order
value for customers using our affordability solutions (BNPL, consumer loans and shopping
loans) was 72% higher than that of customers using credit cards for payment. |
| · | The best-selling categories
for the month included FMCG products, cosmetics, home textile & kitchenware and
apparel. |

1:
In 1P direct sales model, we act as a principal and initially recognize revenue from the sales of goods on a gross basis
at the time of delivery of the goods to our customers.
2: In
the 3P marketplace model, revenues are recorded on a net basis, mainly consisting of marketplace commission, transaction fees and other
contractual charges to the merchants.
Our revenue increased by 1.7% to TRY 12,241.6
million in Q3 2024 compared to TRY 12,036.6 million in Q3 2023. This was due to a 6.0% increase in our (3P) revenue (comprising 13.6%
total revenue), a 47.0% increase in delivery service revenue (comprising 14.6% of total revenue) and an 82.0% increase in other revenue,
which were partially offset by a 9.0% decrease in our (1P) revenue (comprising 65.7% of total revenue) compared to Q3 2023. The 9.0%
decline in 1P revenue was mainly due to a 4.9 percentage point (pp) shift in GMV mix towards 3P (Marketplace).
The 47.0%
increase in delivery service revenue compared to Q3 2023 was mainly due to i) a significant
increase in delivery service revenue from the off-platform customers of Hepsijet, ii) annual
rises in unit delivery service charges surpassing inflation, and iii) an increase in the number of parcels delivered.
The rise in other revenue was mainly attributable
to 37.6% growth in our advertising services (HepsiAd), 3.1x growth in our Hepsiburada Premium subscription revenues and 6.7x growth in
our fintech operations revenues.
While GMV increased by 10.3% in Q3 2024 compared
to Q3 2023, total 1P and 3P revenue decreased during this period by 6.7%. The gap in these rates was mainly due to a 4.9pp shift in the
GMV mix towards 3P (Marketplace). A slight increase in returns, cancellation, as well as customer discounts in Q3 2024, in each case
compared to Q3 2023, also had an impact.

The Gross Contribution margin improved by 2.1pp
to 11.5% in Q3 2024 compared to 9.4% in Q3 2023. This margin improvement was mainly attributable to a 1.1pp increase in delivery service
revenue from off-platform customers, a 0.7pp improvement derived from higher other revenue and a 0.5pp increase in 1P margin primarily
due to the lower quarterly inflation impact on cost of inventory sold (quarterly inflation for Q3 2024 was 8.9% compared to 25.1% for
Q3 2023); which were partially offset by a 0.2pp decline in 3P margin.

Net operating expenses decreased by 0.6% to TRY
12,209.2 million in Q3 2024 compared to TRY 12,281.6 million in Q3 2023. As a percentage of GMV, our net operating expenses declined
3.2pp mainly due to a 4.6pp decrease in cost of inventory sold as a percentage of GMV. This was partially offset by a 0.4pp rise in payroll
and outsource staff expenses, a 0.3pp increase in shipping and packaging expenses, a 0.1pp rise in advertising expenses, a 0.1pp rise
in depreciation and amortization and a 0.5pp rise in other operating expenses, net, in each case as a percentage of GMV.
The 4.6pp decrease in cost of inventory sold
as a percentage of GMV was mainly due to a 4.9pp shift in GMV mix towards Marketplace sales and the lower quarterly inflation impact
on cost of inventory sold.
The 0.3pp increase in shipping and packaging
expenses as a percentage of GMV was mainly driven by the 6.9% increase in the number of parcels delivered, the higher volume of HepsiJet’s
third-party services and a rise in delivery fees per unit (applied by our delivery partners due to increases in fuel prices and annual
minimum wages), outpacing the average inflation in Q3 2024 compared to Q3 2023.
The 0.4pp increase in payroll and outsource staff
expenses as a percentage of GMV was mainly due to the rise in the number of full-time and outsourced employees in line with our plans
on talent onboarding for our subsidiaries.
The 0.5pp increase in other operating expenses,
net was mainly due to the recording of the USD 3,975 thousand (equivalent to TRY 162.6 million) contribution amount in Q3 2023 owed by
TurkCommerce B.V. to Hepsiburada under the term sheet entered into between the parties in December 2022, pursuant to the contribution
agreement that was disclosed in greater detail in our Form 6-K furnished to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 28,
2023.

Our financial income increased by 9.6%, to TRY
824.3 million in Q3 2024 compared to TRY 752.3 million in Q3 2023. The TRY 72.1 million increase in financial income was mainly driven
by a TRY 197.0 million increase in fair value gains on financial assets measured at fair value and a TRY 138.4 million increase in interest
income on credit sales and time deposits. The increase was partially offset by the decrease in foreign exchange gains due to the lower
U.S. dollar/TRY appreciation during Q3 2024 compared to Q3 2023.

Our financial expenses increased by 20.4% to
TRY 1,621.0 million in Q3 2024 compared to TRY 1,346.4 million in Q3 2023. This TRY 274.7 million increase was primarily attributable
to a TRY 427.2 million increase in commission expenses due to early collection of credit card receivables which were partially offset
by a TRY 92.0 million decrease in interest expenses on purchases as a result of a decrease in purchased goods during Q3 2024 compared
to Q3 2023 and a TRY 81.2 million decrease in foreign currency exchange losses from our U.S. dollar denominated trade payables as a result
of lower U.S. dollar/TRY appreciation during Q3 2024 compared to Q3 2023.
Loss for the Period
Loss for the period was TRY 307.4 million in
Q3 2024, up from a net loss of TRY 285.5 million in Q3 2023. This was mainly due to a TRY 202.5 million increase in net financial expenses
(net of financial income), a TRY 98.9 million increase in depreciation and amortization and a TRY 96.8 million decrease in monetary gain,
partially offset by a TRY 376.4 million improvement in EBITDA.
EBITDA
EBITDA increased by 286.5%, or TRY 376.4 million,
to TRY 507.8 million in Q3 2024 compared to TRY 131.4 million in Q3 2023, corresponding to 1.2% EBITDA (Q3 2023: 0.3%) as a percentage
of GMV in Q3 2024. This corresponded to a 0.9pp improvement in EBITDA as a percentage of GMV in Q3 2024 compared to Q3 2023. This improvement
was driven by a 2.1pp rise in Gross Contribution margin, partially offset by a 0.5pp rise in other operating expenses, net, a 0.4pp rise
in payroll and outsource staff expenses, a 0.3pp rise in shipping and packaging expenses and a 0.1pp rise in advertising expenses, in
each case as a percentage of GMV.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures net of proceeds from
the sale of property and equipment increased by 2.6%, or TRY 9.2 million, to TRY 358.8 million in Q3 2024 compared to TRY 349.6
million in Q3 2023. This increase was mainly due to an increase in the costs of employees who are employed for the development of
the website and mobile platforms for both core and strategic assets, and whose costs are capitalized. The cost of these employees
comprises around 73% of total capital expenditures in Q3 2024, compared to around 78% in Q3 2023. The remaining capital expenditures
in each of Q3 2024 and Q3 2023 mainly comprised the purchase of property and equipment as well as software and rights.
Net Working Capital
Net working capital was negative TRY 6,725.3
million as of September 30, 2024 compared to negative TRY 8,024.6 million as of December 31, 2023. The TRY 1,299.3 million
change in negative net working capital was mainly driven by a TRY 1,524.6 million increase in inventories and a TRY 543.2 million increase
in loan receivables, partially offset by a TRY 537.1 million increase in trade payables and payables to merchants. The increase in inventories
was due to longer inventory turnover days as of September 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023. The increase in loan receivables
was mainly due to an increase in our in-house consumer finance loan facility that was launched in January 2024. The increase in
trade payables and payables to merchant was due to payable turnover days having increased as of September 30, 2024.
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
Our net cash provided by operating activities
in Q3 2024 comprised a TRY 307.4 million net loss (Q3 2023: net loss of TRY 285.5 million), a TRY 410.7 million change in working capital
(Q3 2023: negative TRY 271.4 million) and a TRY 1,834.4 million change in other items (comprising non-cash items such as provisions and
depreciation expenses as well as certain non-operating items such as financial income & expenses, non-operating monetary gains &
losses and unrealized foreign exchange differences) (Q3 2023: TRY 3,734.4 million). The change in working capital is further disclosed
in the “Net Working Capital” section above.
Net cash provided by operating activities declined
by TRY 1,242.8 million to TRY 1,937.8 million in Q3 2024 compared to net cash provided by operating activities in Q3 2023 of TRY
3,180.6 million. This was mainly due to a decrease in realized foreign exchange gains of TRY 917.2 million and a decrease in monetary
gains on operating activities of TRY 1,437.0 million, partially offset by an EBITDA improvement of TRY 376.4 million, and an increase
in change in working capital of TRY 682.1 million.
Free Cash Flow
Our free cash flow was TRY 1,579.0 million in
Q3 2024 compared to TRY 2,831.0 million in Q3 2023. This decline was mainly due to the decrease in net cash provided in operating activities.
Total Cash and Financial Investments
Total cash and cash equivalents was TRY 4,256.2
million as of September 30, 2024 compared to TRY 7,472.3 million as of December 31, 2023. The TRY 3,216.1 million decrease
was mainly due to slower appreciation of the USD/TRY exchange rate against the nine-month inflation as well as higher cash used in financing
activities and purchases of financial investments.
Total financial investments as of September 30,
2024 amounted to TRY 3,873.5 million compared to TRY 2,340.5 million as of December 31, 2023. Our financial investments consist
of a financial asset measured at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets carried at amortized costs, including investment
funds and Eurobonds.
We held around 52.5% of our total cash, cash
equivalents and financial investments in U.S. dollars as of September 30, 2024.
Bank Borrowings
Our short-term bank borrowings are utilized to
facilitate supplier and merchant financing as well as for our short-term liquidity needs in the ordinary course of our operations. Our
short-term borrowings increased to TRY 950.5 million as of September 30, 2024, from TRY 249.3 million as of December 31, 2023.
Our short-term borrowings also included issued asset-backed securities amounting to TRY 373.5 million and Hepsifinans’ borrowings
amounting to TRY 289.8 million. As of September 30, 2024, supplier and merchant financing loans corresponded to TRY 189.1 million
of the short-term bank borrowings compared to TRY 24.1 million as of December 31, 2023.

Presentation of Financial and Other Information
Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures
Certain parts of this press release contain non-IFRS
financial measures which are unaudited supplementary measures and are not required by, or presented in accordance with, IFRS or
any other generally accepted accounting principles. Such measures are IAS 29-Unadjusted Revenue, IAS 29-Unadjusted Gross Contribution, IAS
29-Unadjusted EBITDA, EBITDA, Gross Contribution, Free Cash Flow and Net Working Capital. We define:
| · | IAS
29-Unadjusted Revenue as revenue presented on an unadjusted for inflation basis; |
| · | IAS
29-Unadjusted Gross Contribution as Gross Contribution presented on an unadjusted for
inflation basis; |
| · | IAS
29-Unadjusted EBITDA as EBITDA presented on an unadjusted for inflation basis; |
| · | EBITDA
as profit or loss for the period plus taxation on income less financial income plus financial
expenses, plus depreciation and amortization, plus monetary gains/(losses); |
| · | Gross
Contribution as revenues less cost of inventory sold; |
| · | Free
Cash Flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures plus
proceeds from sale of property and equipment; and |
| · | Net
Working Capital as current assets (excluding cash, cash equivalents and financial investments)
minus current liabilities (excluding current bank borrowings and current lease liabilities). |
You should not consider them as: (a) an
alternative to operating profit or profit (income) as determined in accordance with IFRS or other generally accepted accounting principles,
or as measures of operating performance; (b) an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities, as
determined in accordance with IFRS or other generally accepted accounting principles, or as a measure of our ability to meet liquidity
needs; or (c) an alternative to any other measures of performance under IFRS or other generally accepted accounting principles.
These measures are used by our management to
monitor the underlying performance of the business and our operations. However, not all companies calculate these measures in an identical
manner and, therefore, our presentation may not be comparable with similar measures used by other companies. As a result, prospective
investors should not place undue reliance on this data.
This section includes a reconciliation of certain
of these non-IFRS measures to the closest IFRS measure.
EBITDA is a supplemental non-IFRS financial measure
that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, IFRS. We have included EBITDA in this press release because it is a key
measure used by our management and board of directors to evaluate our operating performance, generate future operating plans and make
strategic decisions regarding the allocation of capital. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses and, from the date of applicability
of IAS 29, related monetary gains/(losses), in calculating EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparability across reporting periods
by removing the effect of non-cash expenses (including monetary gains/(losses)) and non-operating expense/(income). One of the objectives
of IAS 29 is to account for the financial gain or loss that arises from holding monetary assets or liabilities during a reporting period
(i.e. the monetary gains/(losses)). Therefore, the monetary gains/(losses) are excluded from EBITDA for a proper comparison of
the operational performance of the Company. Accordingly, we believe that EBITDA provides useful information to investors in understanding
and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and board of directors.
Management uses EBITDA:
| · | as
a measurement of operating performance because it assists us in comparing our operating performance
on a consistent basis, as it removes the impact of non-cash and non-operating items; |
| · | for
planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budget and
financial projections; and |
| · | to
evaluate the performance and effectiveness of our strategic initiatives. |
EBITDA has limitations as a financial measure,
including that other companies may calculate EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure and you should
not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for profit/(loss) for the period, as a profit measure or other analysis of our results
as reported under IFRS.
The following table shows the reconciliation
of EBITDA to income/(loss) for the periods presented.

Gross
contribution is a supplemental non-IFRS financial measure that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, IFRS. We have
included gross contribution in this press release because it is a key measure used by our management and board of directors to evaluate
our operational profitability as it reflects direct costs of products sold to our buyers. Accordingly, we believe that gross contribution
provides useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and
board of directors.
Gross contribution has limitations as a financial
measure, including that other companies may calculate gross contribution differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure
and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for profit/(loss) for the period, as a profit measure or other analysis
of our results as reported under IFRS.

IAS 29-Unadjusted Revenue, IAS 29-Unadjusted
Gross Contribution and IAS 29-Unadjusted EBITDA are supplemental non-IFRS financial measures that are not required by, or presented in
accordance with, IFRS. We have included IAS 29-Unadjusted Revenue, IAS 29-Unadjusted Gross Contribution and IAS 29-Unadjusted
EBITDA in this press release because we believe their inclusion facilitates the understanding of Revenue, Gross Contribution and EBITDA
restated in accordance with IAS 29 as well as our year on year GMV growth and profitability guidance.
IAS 29-Unadjusted Revenue, IAS 29-Unadjusted
Gross Contribution and IAS 29-Unadjusted EBITDA have limitations as financial measures, including that other companies may calculate
IAS 29-Unadjusted Revenue, IAS 29-Unadjusted Gross Contribution and IAS 29-Unadjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces their usefulness
as a comparative measure and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for revenue or profit/(loss) for the period,

Free Cash Flow is a supplemental non-IFRS financial
measure that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, IFRS. We have included Free Cash Flow in this press release because
it is an important indicator of our liquidity as it measures the amount of cash we generate/(use) and provides additional perspective
on whether we have sufficient cash after funding our operations and capital expenditures. Accordingly, we believe that Free Cash Flow
provides useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating our operating results in the same manner as our management and
board of directors.
Free Cash Flow has limitations as a financial
measure, and you should not consider it in isolation or as substitutes for net cash used in operating activities as a measure of our
liquidity or other analysis of our results as reported under IFRS. There are limitations to using non-IFRS financial measures, including
that other companies may calculate Free Cash Flow differently. Because of these limitations, you should consider Free Cash Flow alongside
other financial performance measures, including net cash used in operating activities, capital expenditures and our other IFRS results.
The following table shows the reconciliation
of Free Cash Flow to net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities for the periods presented.

Net Working Capital is a supplemental non-IFRS
financial measure that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, IFRS. Starting from Q4 2021, we have revised the definition
of Net Working Capital to include the “financial investments” balance on our balance sheet as at December 31, 2021.
As we believe financial investments are cash-like item by nature, we deducted from current assets along with cash and cash equivalents.
We have included Net Working Capital in this
press release because it is used to measure the short-term liquidity of a business, and can also be used to obtain a general impression
of the ability of company management to utilize assets in an efficient manner. Net Working Capital is critical since it is used to keep
our business operating smoothly and meet all our financial obligations in the short-term. Accordingly, we believe that Net Working Capital
provides useful information to investors in understanding and evaluating how we manage our short-term liabilities.
The following table shows the reconciliation
of Net Working Capital to current assets and current liabilities as of the dates indicated:

Restatement Methods for Consolidated Balance Sheets
(1) Monetary items do not need to be restated,
because they represent money held, to be received or to be paid. Monetary items are therefore already expressed in current purchasing
power at the reporting date.
(2) Non-monetary assets and liabilities
are restated in terms of the measuring unit current at the end of the reporting period. We used the increase in the general price index
from the transaction date when they were first recognized to the end of the reporting period.
(3) Other current assets and other current
liabilities consist of monetary and non-monetary items.
(4) The components of shareholders’
equity, excluding retained earnings, are restated by applying a general price index from the dates on which the items were contributed
or otherwise arose.
(5) Retained earnings are restated for the
balancing figure derived from the other amounts in the restated opening balance sheet.
Restatement Methods for Consolidated Statements
of Comprehensive Income/(Loss)
(6) All items except cost of inventory sold,
depreciation and amortization expenses and monetary gains or losses in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for the current
year are restated by applying the change in the general price index from the dates when the items of income and expense were originally
recorded.
(7) Cost of inventory sold is restated by
using restated inventories balance.
(8) Depreciation and amortization expenses
is restated by using restated property and equipment, intangible assets and right of use assets balances.
(9) Technology expenses, other operating
expenses and income includes prepaid expenses and deferred income which are considered as non-monetary items and restated by using restated
balances of those items.
(10) The monetary gains or losses is calculated
as the difference between the historical cost amounts and the result from the restatement of non-monetary items, shareholders’
equity, items in the consolidated statement of comprehensive loss. The monetary gain or loss is reported as a separate item in the restated
consolidated statement of comprehensive loss.
Restatement Methods for Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
All items in the consolidated statements of cash
flows are expressed in a measuring unit current at the balance sheet date; they are therefore restated by applying the relevant conversion
factors from the date on which the transaction originated.
Income/(loss) before tax is adjusted for the
monetary gain or loss for the period.
The monetary loss on cash and cash equivalents
is presented separately.
Inflation effect on non-operating activities
is presented separately. It is calculated as the difference between the restated openings and closing balances of cash and cash equivalents,
borrowings and financial investments.
Inflation effect on operating activities is presented
separately. It is calculated as the difference between the restated openings and closing balances of provisions and considered as a reconciling
item in the cash flow statement, as this is a non-cash item not shown as a change in working capital.
