Positive Points Consolidated revenues grew 9% year-on-year to TRY 73 billion, with strong contributions from fixed broadband, corporate data, and ICT projects. EBITDA margin expanded by 60 basis points year-on-year in the first half, reaching 41.3%, within the guidance range. Mobile subscriber base grew by 539,000 net additions, and Turk Telekom led the MNP market in Q2. Fixed broadband ARPU grew 15% year-on-year, with 69% of subscribers now on speeds above 50 Mbps, up from 54% a year ago. Management expects revenue growth to accelerate in the second half, driven by recent price revisions and new ICT projects, maintaining the 8% real revenue growth guidance. Negative Points Net profit declined 7% year-on-year to TRY 6 billion, impacted by higher financial expenses and depreciation from 5G and concession investments. Mobile ARPU declined 6% year-on-year in Q2, reflecting high inflation and delayed impact of price revisions. CapEx intensity rose to 29.1% in the first half, with full-year guidance raised to 34% due to 5G rollout and fiber investments, pressuring free cash flow. Unlevered free cash flow fell sharply to TRY 3.9 billion from TRY 9.4 billion in the prior year quarter, due to higher CapEx. Net leverage increased to 1.0x from 0.6x at year-end 2025, driven by 5G and concession payments, with further payments due by year-end. Story Continues Q & A Highlights Q: What is driving the decline in mobile revenue, and can we expect this trend to continue? Additionally, what is driving the optimism behind the full-year revenue growth guidance of 8%, given the first-half growth was only 5.6%? A: Omer Karademir, CFO, explained that the mobile revenue decline is primarily due to higher-than-expected inflation and the lingering effects of last year's competitive pricing. He noted that price revisions of 30% in January, 13% in April, and 16% in July will positively impact ARPU and revenue growth in the second half. Regarding the guidance, he cited the base effect from high first-half inflation and the impact of price actions in both mobile and fixed broadband (20% in January, 30% in June for retail, and 38% in July for wholesale). He also highlighted new business opportunities in the ICT segment as key drivers for the expected acceleration. Q: Can you provide details on the potential Sukuk debt issuance of up to $1 billion, including timing, size, and use of proceeds? Also, is the increased fixed broadband CapEx a new normal, or will it normalize?A: The CFO st", "date_published": "2026-08-12T03:00:47+00:00", "authors": [{"name": "finance.yahoo.com"}], "tags": ["Market update", "TTKOM"], "_sharemaestro": {"country": "Turkey", "coverage": "Main company", "market_context": null, "companies": [{"symbol": "TTKOM", "name": "T\u00fcrk Telekom\u00fcnikasyon Anonim Sirketi", "sentiment_url": "https://sharemaestro.com/sentiment/7656de7c-fe1b-4f27-82dd-817d41fb8f4c/"}]}}, {"id": "source:067328733c9c5fd3a5dc221f2c9bf22f68b215bf8e618ed600142ba2b8b5e92a", "url": "https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiVEFVX3lxTE9hVHFmdmpLOFQyV2FmYlROS0NsWjFzbko4YXpYUzB4Y19RLUxEeEh1RnNEQUtxcUlKZGJBTjNmZkZwNWJmNGVRaGZfUVBXVkozb2hsUg?oc=5", "external_url": "https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiVEFVX3lxTE9hVHFmdmpLOFQyV2FmYlROS0NsWjFzbko4YXpYUzB4Y19RLUxEeEh1RnNEQUtxcUlKZGJBTjNmZkZwNWJmNGVRaGZfUVBXVkozb2hsUg?oc=5", "title": "TCELL Hisse | Turkcell \u0130leti\u015fim Hizmetleri Fiyatlar\u0131", "content_text": "TCELL Hisse | Turkcell \u0130leti\u015fim Hizmetleri Fiyatlar\u0131", "date_published": "2017-01-05T09:35:07+00:00", "authors": [{"name": "Investing.com T\u00fcrkiye"}], "tags": ["Market update", "TCELL"], "_sharemaestro": {"country": "Turkey", "coverage": "Main company", "market_context": null, "companies": [{"symbol": "TCELL", "name": "Turkcell Iletisim Hizmetleri A.S.", "sentiment_url": "https://sharemaestro.com/sentiment/17ee9537-aadf-409c-8be8-865d3528b194/"}]}}]}
