COMMENTS BY CEO, ALİ TAHA
KOÇ, PhD
We are delighted to celebrate our 30th
anniversary as the pioneer of Türkiye's digital transformation. As Turkcell, we have introduced numerous innovations in the industry.
Today, we are entering an era wherein we will solidify our leadership of Türkiye's digital transformation by focusing on our technological
capabilities and bringing global technological advancements to our country. Moreover, we are proud to enter our 30th
year with strong financial and operational results.
A strong start to 2024
Although the first quarter of 2024 was impacted
by economic and geopolitical uncertainties, it was a period where hopes for macroeconomic normalization began to increase. Domestically,
the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye's controlled interest rate hikes were monitored amid reaccelerated inflation, while
global attention was on the Fed's cautious approach to interest rate cuts.
In the first quarter of the year, we achieved
strong growth by enlarging our subscriber base with our value-oriented postpaid and fiber subscribers, along with the support of our
digital services and techfin business. Our ongoing inflationary pricing policy has significantly contributed to strengthening our company's
financial performance. Our group revenues increased by 11.8% yearly to TRY 30.8 billion, while EBITDA1 rose by 23.2% to TRY
12.8 billion. The EBITDA margin reached 41.4%, improving 3.8 percentage points. We delivered a TRY 2.6 billion net profit for the quarter.
Our operational performance started the year
strong, led by the mobile segment. We gained 229 thousand net mobile subscribers in the first quarter. While our postpaid subscriber
base posted an increase of net 472 thousand in this quarter, our net addition for the past twelve months surpassed 1.7 million subscribers.
Other sector players also made the price adjustments we made during this period. While aggressive offers from competitors were less observed
this quarter, the Mobile Number Portability (MNP) market volume also contracted compared to the previous quarter. Thanks to the increasing
contribution of sequential price adjustments, the postpaid subscriber base, which expanded to 72%, and our ability to upsell our customers,
our Mobile ARPU2 rose 17.1%. We continued to offer innovative and comprehensive tariffs to our customers. In line with this,
we are now offering the “Smart Control Service” for free, as an example of our strategy based on always being there for our
customers. This service automatically suspends usage when customers reach their package limits, ensuring no additional charges on customers
bills. Despite price adjustments, thanks to these initiatives, our mobile subscriber churn rate reached its lowest level in the past
6 years, at 1.5%.
We maintained our focus on fiber subscribers
in the fixed broadband segment. With demand for high-speed and quality fiber services remaining strong, we gained a net of 48 thousand
fiber subscribers, pushing our fiber subscriber base beyond 2.3 million. Our strategy of shifting customers to 12-month contracts contributed
to limiting the delaying effect of inflation on our growth performance. Thanks to this strategy, the share of 12-month contracted subscribers
in residential fiber base reached 74%. In this quarter, fiber ARPU rose 13.7% yearly. While our total fixed subscriber base surpassed
3.1 million, this quarter's fixed subscriber churn rate reached its lowest level since 2007, at 1.3%.
Digital services continue to drive our financial
performance
The growth of our digital services continues
to support our group revenues. Revenues from the stand-alone paid users of our digital services grew by 32% to TRY 1.6 billion. The number
of stand-alone paid users3 utilizing our digital services amounted to 5.5 million.
Digital Business Services provide cloud-based
software services enabling automation in business processes, end-to-end digitalization, data center services, and next-generation technologies
such as the Internet of Things to our corporate customers. The revenue generated by these services amounted to TRY 2.8 billion this quarter.
The revenues from our cloud services, where we provide value-added services and operate four next-generation data centers with a total
IT capacity of 54 MWs, recorded growth of 48%, reaching TRY 470 million.
Our Techfin segment, with the contributions of
our subsidiaries Financell4 and Paycell, significantly contributed to the group's growth in the first quarter. Financell,
with 1.1 million active customers, reached a loan portfolio of TRY 6.1 billion, and with rising interest rates, its revenues rose 53.5%
yearly. On the other hand, Paycell's revenues, which offer fast and secure payment solutions, increased by 33.2% year-on-year, while
its users5 reached 7.8 million.
We pioneer innovation, social responsibility,
and sustainability
By carrying the 'Turkcell and Technology' focus
to the international domain, we participated in the 'Sustainable Digital Transformation' panel at the GSMA Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
As Turkcell, we emphasized that we make our operations sustainable and develop products, services, and project solutions that add value
to the economy. Moreover, by opening Call Center and Training Center in Hatay, where Hatay is the most affected city by the February 2023
earthquake, we strengthened our commitment to social responsibility while providing new job opportunities for the region's youth, creating
long-term support with sustainable impact.
As Türkiye's leading technology integrator,
we hold data, energy, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity in sharp relief. In a digital world, we consider data generated by people
and objects the most valuable raw material. In this context, as Türkiye's largest data center operator, I emphasize our company's
superior position in the industry.
Our Board of Directors TRY 6.3 billion dividend
proposal was approved at the Annual General Assembly meeting of May 2, 2024. We will continue to work with dedication to sustain
our successful financial and operational results while maintaining our robust balance sheet.
We revise our guidance upwards
Considering our first quarter performance, we
revise our guidance6 upwards. We expect low-double-digit growth of Group revenues in real terms in 2024. We maintain our EBITDA
margin expectation of approximately 42% and our operational capex to sales ratio7 target of around 23%.
As we celebrate our company's 30th
anniversary with joy and pride, we confidently advance towards making Turkcell the leader of Türkiye's Digital Century. We will
continue to leverage the opportunities provided by technology to build on our sustainable successes and add value to our country.

Revenue
of the Group grew by 11.8% year-on-year in Q124. This resulted mainly from expanding postpaid subscribers of Turkcell Türkiye
and price adjustments. Additionally, our digital services & solutions, and techfin business made contributions to overall
revenue growth.
Turkcell Türkiye revenues, comprising 86%
of Group revenues, grew 13.1% to TRY26,516 million (TRY23,455 million).
| - | Consumer business rose4 by 19.5%,
driven mainly by strong postpaid subscriber net additions, rising fiber subscriber base,
price adjustments, and upsell efforts. |
| - | Corporate revenues4 decreased by
1.4% mainly due to fewer large-budget projects as compared to the prior period. |
| - | Standalone digital services revenues from consumer
and corporate segments grew 32.3% driven mainly by an expanding standalone paid user base
compared with the first quarter of 2023, and price adjustments. |
| - | Wholesale revenues decreased 6.1% to TRY1,450
million (TRY1,544 million). |
(4) Following the change in the organizational
structure, the revenues from sole proprietorship subscribers that we define as Merchant, which were previously managed under the Corporate
segment, are being reported under the Consumer segment as of and from the third quarter of 2023. Within this scope, past data has been
revised for comparative purposes.
Turkcell International revenues1, comprising 3% of Group
revenues, increased 2.3% to TRY815 million (TRY797 million).
Techfin segment revenues, comprising 5% of Group
revenues, increased 43.7% to TRY1,513 million (TRY1,053 million). This was driven by 53.5% growth in Financell revenues and 33.2% rise
in Paycell revenues. Please refer to the Techfin section for details.
Other subsidiaries’ revenues, at 6% of
Group revenues, including mainly consumer electronics sales revenues, and non-group energy business revenues, decreased 12.6% to TRY1,979
million (TRY2,263 million).
Cost of revenue (excluding depreciation
and amortization) decreased to 48.5% (52.5%) as a percentage of revenues at the end of the first quarter. This was driven mainly by the
decline in the cost of goods sold (2.9pp), energy cost (1.8pp), and interconnection cost (1.2pp) despite the increase in funding cost
(1.3pp) and personnel expenses (0.6pp) as a percentage of revenues.
Administrative expenses increased to 3.8%
(3.3%) as a percentage of revenues in Q124. This was led by higher personnel expenses.
Selling and marketing expenses increased
to 5.7% (5.3%) as a percentage of revenues in Q124. This was driven by the increase in marketing expenses (0.3pp), and personnel expenses
(0.2pp) despite the decline in selling expenses (0.1pp) as a percentage of revenues.
Net
impairment losses on financial and contract assets was at 0.7% (1.3%) as a percentage of revenues in Q124.
EBITDA2 rose by 23.2% year-on-year
in Q124 leading to an EBITDA margin of 41.4% with a 3.8pp improvement (37.6%).
- | Turkcell Türkiye’s EBITDA rose 24.4%
to TRY12,027 million (TRY9,671 million) leading to an EBITDA margin of 45.4% (41.2%). |
- | Turkcell International (excl. Ukraine operations)
EBITDA increased 16.2% to TRY297 million (TRY256 million) driving an EBITDA margin of 36.5%
(32.1%). |
- | Techfin segment EBITDA declined 17.0% to TRY345
million (TRY416 million) with an EBITDA margin of 22.8% (39.5%). The key factor behind the
year-on-year decline in EBITDA margin was the rise in funding cost for Financell compared
with the first quarter of 2023. |
- | The EBITDA of other subsidiaries was TRY84
million (TRY11 million) in Q124. |
Depreciation and amortization expenses
increased 18.0% year-on-year in Q124.
Net
finance income of TRY160.8 million (negative TRY872 million) was recorded for Q124, including TRY2.6 billion monetary gain
and net FX losses of TRY2.3 billion.
See Appendix A for details of net foreign exchange
gain and loss.
Other expenses decreased to TRY218 million
(TRY232 million) in Q124.
Income
tax expense increased to TRY1,320 million (TRY2,319 million) due
mainly to a lower corporate and deferred tax expense compared to the previous year.
Profit /(loss) from discontinued operations
of TRY541 million (TRY527 million) was recorded in Q124.
Net
income of the Group was TRY2.6 billion (negative TRY269 million) in Q124. This result was mainly due to significant contributions
from monetary gains and strong performance at the EBITDA level.
Total
cash & debt: Consolidated cash as of March 31, 2024, decreased to TRY48,779 million compared to TRY57,507 million
as of December 31, 2023. Please recall that the second installment of the earthquake donation, eurobond purchasing, personnel bonus
payment, and wireless fee tax were paid in this quarter. Excluding FX swap transactions, 49% of our cash is in US$, 24% in EUR, 1% BYN,
and 25% in TRY.
(1) As of December 31, 2023, our Lifecell,
UkrTower, and Global LLC operations in Ukraine have been classified as a disposal group held for sale and as a discontinued operation.
Therefore, this segment does not include revenues from those.
(2) EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure.
See page 14 for the explanation of how we calculate adjusted EBITDA and its reconciliation to net income.
Consolidated debt as of March 31, 2024,
increased to TRY98,050 million from TRY96,750 million as of December 31, 2023 due mainly to the impact of currency movements. Please
note that TRY3,197 million of our consolidated debt is comprised of lease obligations. Please note that 43% of our consolidated debt
is in US$, 33% in EUR, 3% in CNY, and 21% in TRY.

million at the end of the quarter (Please note that this figure takes hedging portfolio and advance payments into account). The long
FX position of US$158 million is in line with our FX neutral definition, which is between -US$200 million and +US$200 million.

from Q421, we have revised the definition of our net debt calculation to include "financial assets” reported under current
and non-current assets. Required reserves held in CBRT balances are also considered in net debt calculation. We believe
that these assets are highly liquid and can be easily converted to cash without significant change in value.

Turkcell Türkiye's customer base continued
to expand, reaching 42.8 million with a net quarterly addition of 333 thousand, driven by strong postpaid subscriber net addition performance
in the first quarter of the year. This strong performance led us to achieve a total of 1.7 million postpaid net additions in the last
12 months.
On the mobile front, our subscriber base expanded
to 38.2 million on 229 thousand net additions in Q124. This was driven by 472 thousand net additions from the postpaid subscriber base,
which reached 72.3% (69.1%) of total mobile subscribers. We experienced a net decline of 243 thousand in our prepaid subscriber base
quarter-on-quarter, due mainly to the disconnection of 319 thousand prepaid customers in Q124 in accordance with the ICTA regulation.
The market was not overly aggressive compared to previous quarters, but there have been aggressive campaigns by competitors during some
periods of the first quarter. Accordingly, our mobile ARPU (excluding M2M) rose by 17.1% year-on-year thanks to price adjustments, a
larger postpaid subscriber base, and upsell performance in Q124. The average monthly mobile churn rate decreased to 1.5% in Q124, the
lowest level since 2018.
On the fixed front, our subscriber base reached
3.1 million on 50 thousand quarterly net additions. Our fiber subscriber base expanded by 48 thousand quarterly and 179 thousand annual
net additions. Meanwhile, IPTV customers reached to 1.5 million on 41 thousand quarterly and 141 thousand annual net additions.
The average monthly fixed churn rate at 1.3% in Q124 which is the lowest level since 2007. Our residential fiber ARPU growth was 13.7%
year-on-year, mainly on the back of 12-month commitment structure, price adjustments, and efforts to higher tariffs, as well as higher
IPTV pricing.
Average monthly mobile data usage per user rose
9.9% year-on-year to 17.8 GB, with the increasing number and data consumption of 4.5G users in Q124. Accordingly, the average mobile
data usage of 4.5G users reached 18.8 GB in Q124. Total smartphone penetration on our network was at 90% at the end of the quarter. 95%
of those smartphones were 4.5G compatible.

(1) BeST, in which we hold a 100% stake,
has operated in Belarus since July 2008.
BeST revenues increased 24.2% year-on-year
in local currency terms mainly due to the data and outgoing voice revenues in Q124. BeST registered an EBITDA of BYN24.2 million in the
first quarter, which led to an EBITDA margin increased to 49.5%. BeST’s revenues in TRY terms increased 3.0% year-on-year in Q124.
BeST continued to offer LTE services to all six
regions, encompassing 4.3 thousand sites in Q124. Enhanced LTE coverage has enabled BeST to expand its 4G subscriber base. Accordingly,
4G users reached 83% of the 3-month active subscriber base, which continued to support mobile data consumption and digital services usage.
Additionally, the average monthly data usage among 4G subscribers increased 11% year-on-year, reaching 20.4 GB in Q124.

Paycell’s revenue rose by 33.2% year-on-year
for first quarter of 2024. POS solutions supported topline growth thanks to increase in the commission fee per transaction. Accordingly,
Paycell’s EBITDA increased 47.4% year-on-year leading to an EBITDA margin of 46.7% on a 4.5pp improvement in Q124. The primary
factor behind the rise in EBITDA margin was POS expense growth, which lagged behind the increase in revenue. Additionally, the"Pay
Later" mobile payment service was another key factor of revenue growth for Paycell.
The Pay Later service transaction volume (non-group)
increased by 57% year-on-year to TRY2.2 billion in Q124. This service was utilized by 6.0 million active Pay Later users in Q124. Additionally,
Paycell card transaction volume up by 103% year-on-year to TRY5.8 billion. The overall transaction volume for POS solutions also rose
to TRY7.7 billion, with a yearly increase of 51%. Meanwhile, the total transaction volume across all services increased 55% to TRY20.5

(1) Following the change in the organizational
structure, the revenues of Turkcell Sigorta Aracılık Hizmetleri A.Ş. (Insurance Agency), which was previously managed
under the Financell, has been classified from Financell to "Other" in the Techfin segment as of the first quarter of 2023.
Financell’s revenues rose by 53.5% in Q124.
EBITDA decreased 59.3% yielding an EBITDA margin of 11.1%. The primary reason for the decline in EBITDA margin compared to the previous
year was the increase in funding costs.
Financell’s loan portfolio was at TRY6.1
billion in the first quarter of the year. Financell has provided loans to about 30 thousand corporate customers. Financell’s cost
of risk was at 1.7% at the end of the Q1. Financell continued to offer innovative solutions including green loans for solar projects,
car loans, and shopping loans for both individual and corporate customers.

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASUREMENTS:
We believe Adjusted EBITDA, among other measures, facilitates performance comparisons from period to period and management decision
making. It also facilitates performance comparisons from company to company. Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure eliminates potential
differences caused by variations in capital structures (affecting interest expense), tax positions (such as the impact of changes in
effective tax rates on periods or companies) and the age and book depreciation of tangible and intangible assets (affecting relative
depreciation expense and amortization expense). We also present Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is frequently used by securities
analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating the performance of other mobile operators in the telecommunications industry
in Europe, many of which present Adjusted EBITDA when reporting their results.
Our Adjusted EBITDA definition includes Revenue,
Cost of Revenue excluding depreciation and amortization, Selling and Marketing expenses, Administrative expenses and Net impairment losses
on financial and contract assets, but excludes finance income and expense, other operating income and expense, investment activity income
and expense, share of profit of equity accounted investees and minority interest.
Nevertheless, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations
as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation from, or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations,
as reported under IFRS. The following table provides a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated using financial data prepared
in accordance with IFRS to net profit, which we believe is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in
accordance with IFRS.

RECONCILIATION OF ARPU: ARPU is an
operational measurement tool and the methodology for calculating performance measures such as ARPU varies substantially among operators
and is not standardized across the telecommunications industry, and reported performance measures thus vary from those that may result
from the use of a single methodology. Management believes this measure is helpful in assessing the development of our services over time.
The following table shows the reconciliation of Turkcell Türkiye revenues to such revenues included in the ARPU calculations for
Q1 2023 and Q1 2024.

(All amounts
are expressed in thousand of Turkish Lira unless otherwise stated. Currencies other than Turkish Lira are expressed in thousands unless
otherwise stated.)
| 2. | Basis of preparation of financial statements (continued) |
New standards and interpretations
| i) | The new standards, amendments and interpretations which are effective as of 1 January 2024 are
as follows: |
Amendments to IAS 1- Classification of Liabilities
as Current and Non-Current Liabilities
In January 2020 and October 2022, IASB
issued amendments to IAS 1 to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. According to the amendments
made in October 2022 if an entity’s right to defer settlement of a liability is subject to the entity complying with the required
covenants at a date subsequent to the reporting period (“future covenants”), the entity has a right to defer settlement of
the liability even if it does not comply with those covenants at the end of the reporting period. In addition, October 2022 amendments
require an entity to provide disclosure when a liability arising from a loan agreement is classified as non-current and the entity’s
right to defer settlement is contingent on compliance with future covenants within twelve months. This disclosure must include information
about the covenants and the related liabilities. The amendments clarify that the requirement for the right to exist at the end of the
reporting period applies to covenants which the entity is required to comply with on or before the reporting date regardless of whether
the lender tests for compliance at that date or at a later date. The amendments also clarified that the classification of a liability
is unaffected by the likelihood that the entity will exercise its right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months
after the reporting period. The amendments must be applied retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8.
The Group does not expect any significant impact
on its balance sheet as a result of this amendment.
Amendments to IFRS 16 - Lease Liability in
a Sale and Leaseback
In September 2022, the Board issued amendments
to IFRS 16. The amendments specify the requirements that a seller-lessee uses in measuring the lease liability arising in a sale and leaseback
transaction, to ensure the seller-lessee does not recognize any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains.
In applying requirements of IFRS 16 under “Subsequent measurement of the lease liability” heading after the commencement date
in a sale and leaseback transaction, the seller lessee determines ‘lease payments’ or ‘revised lease payments’
in such a way that the seller-lessee would not recognize any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use retained by the
seller-lessee. The amendments do not prescribe specific measurement requirements for lease liabilities arising from a leaseback. The initial
measurement of the lease liability arising from a leaseback may result in a seller-lessee determining ‘lease payments’ that
are different from the general definition of lease payments in IFRS 16. The seller-lessee will need to develop and apply an accounting
policy that results in information that is relevant and reliable in accordance with IAS 8. A seller-lessee applies the amendments retrospectively
in accordance with IAS 8 to sale and leaseback transactions entered into after the date of initial application of IFRS 16.
The Group does not expect any significant impact
on its balance sheet as a result of this amendment.
Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 - Disclosures:
Supplier Finance Arrangements
The amendments issued in May 2023 specify
disclosure requirements to enhance the current requirements, which are intended to assist users of financial statements in understanding
the effects of supplier finance arrangements on an entity’s liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity risk. Supplier finance
arrangements are characterized by one or more finance providers offering to pay amounts an entity owes its suppliers and the entity agreeing
to pay according to the terms and conditions of the arrangements at the same date as, or a date later than, suppliers are paid. The amendments
require an entity to provide information about terms and conditions of those arrangements, quantitative information on liabilities related
to those arrangements as at the beginning and end of the reporting period and the type and effect of non-cash changes in the carrying
amounts of those liabilities. In the context of quantitative liquidity risk disclosures required by IFRS 7, supplier finance arrangements
are also included as an example of other factors that might be relevant to disclose.
The amendments did not have a significant impact
on the financial position or performance of the Group.

| 3. | Basis of preparation of financial statements (continued) |
New standards and interpretations (continued)
| ii) | Standards, amendments and interpretations that are issued but not yet effective: |
Standards, interpretations and amendments to existing
standards that are issued but not yet effective up to the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements are as follows. the
Group will make the necessary changes if not indicated otherwise, which will be affecting the consolidated financial statements and disclosures,
when the new standards and interpretations become effective.
Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 - Sale or
Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture
In December 2015, IASB postponed the
effective date of this amendment indefinitely pending the outcome of its research project on the equity method of accounting. Early application
of the amendments is still permitted.
The Group will wait until the final amendment
to assess the impacts of the changes.
Amendments to IAS 21 - Lack of exchangeability
In August 2023, the Board issued amendments
to IAS 21. The amendments specify how an entity should assess whether a currency is exchangeable and how it should determine a spot exchange
rate when exchangeability is lacking. When an entity estimates a spot exchange rate because a currency is not exchangeable into another
currency, it discloses information that enables users of its financial statements to understand how the currency not being exchangeable
into the other currency affects, or is expected to affect, the entity’s financial performance, financial position and cash flows.
The amendments will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025. Early adoption is permitted but
will need to be disclosed. When applying the amendments, an entity cannot restate comparative information.
IFRS
18 – The new Standard for Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
In April 2024, IASB issued IFRS 18 which
replaces IAS 1. IFRS 18 introduces new requirements on presentation within the statement of profit or loss, including specified totals
and subtotals. IFRS 18 requires an entity to classify all income and expenses within its statement of profit or loss into one of five
categories: operating; investing; financing; income taxes; and discontinued operations. It also requires disclosure of management-defined
performance measures and includes new requirements for aggregation and disaggregation of financial information based on the identified
‘roles’ of the primary financial statements and the notes. In addition, there are consequential amendments to other accounting
standards, such as IAS 7, IAS 8 and IAS 34. IFRS 18 and the related amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning on or
after 1 January 2027, but earlier application is permitted. IFRS 18 will be applied retrospectively.
The Group is in the process of assessing the impact
of the amendments on financial position or performance of the Group.

Amendments to IAS 12 - International Tax Reform
– Pillar Two Model Rules
In May 2023, the Board issued amendments
to IAS 12, which introduce a mandatory exception in IAS 12 from recognizing and disclosing deferred tax assets and liabilities related
to Pillar Two income taxes. The amendments clarify that IAS 12 applies to income taxes arising from tax laws enacted or substantively
enacted to implement the Pillar Two Model Rules published by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The
amendments also introduced targeted disclosure requirements for entities affected by the tax laws. The temporary exception from recognition
and disclosure of information about deferred taxes and the requirement to disclose the application of the exception apply immediately
and retrospectively upon issue of the amendments.
Based on management’s preliminary assessments,
Group management does not expect significant impact on it’s consolidated financial statements due to Pillar Two amendments. However,
the Company will continue to monitoring upcoming legislation changes on this matter, in Turkey and in other countries that the Group operates.

In accordance with its integrated communication
and technology services strategy, Group has reportable segments which are Turkcell Turkiye, Turkcell International and Techfin. While
some of these strategic segments offer the same types of services, they are managed separately because they operate in different geographical
locations and are affected by different economic conditions.
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent
with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker function is carried out
by the Board of Directors, however Board of Directors may transfer the authorities, other than recognized by the law, to the General Manager
and other directors.
Turkcell Turkiye reportable segment includes mobile,
fixed telecom, digital services and digital business services operations of Turkcell, Turkcell Superonline Iletisim Hizmetleri A.S. (“Turkcell

Techfin reportable segment includes all financial
services operations of Turkcell Finansman, Turkcell Odeme, Paycell, Paycell Europe, Turkcell Sigorta and Turkcell Dijital Sigorta. The
operations of these legal entities aggregated into one reportable segment as the nature of services are similar and most of them share
similar economic characteristics.

GSYF, Turkcell Dijital Egitim Teknolojileri A.S. (“Dijital Egitim”). W3 Labs Yeni Teknolojiler A.S. ("W3") and Turkcell
Satis’s other operations.
The Board primarily uses adjusted EBITDA to assess
the performance of the operating segments. Adjusted EBITDA definition includes revenue, cost of revenue excluding depreciation and amortization,
selling and marketing expenses and administrative expenses.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure defined
by IFRS as a measurement of financial performance and may not be comparable to other similarly-titled indicators used by other companies.
Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the consolidated profit for the year is included in the accompanying notes.

Fair value of derivative instruments and risk
management
Fair value
This section explains the judgments and estimates
made in determining the fair values of the financial instruments that are recognized and measured at fair value in the financial statements.
To provide an indication of the reliability of the inputs used in determining fair value, the Group has classified its financial instruments
into the three levels prescribed under the accounting standards. An explanation of each level is as follows:
· Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted)
in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
· Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than
quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
· Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs
for the asset or liability.
|
| Fair Value hierarchy | |
Valuation Techniques |
a) Participating cross currency swap contracts |
| Level 2 | |
Pricing models based on discounted cash present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves and end period FX rates |
b) FX swap, currency, interest swap and option contracts |
| Level 2 | |
Present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves and end period FX rates |
c) Currency forward contracts |
| Level 2 | |
Forward exchange rates at the balance sheet date |
As of 31 March 2024, the Company has no
financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a non-recurring basis.

Exposure to currency risk
Sensitivity analysis
The basis for the sensitivity analysis to measure
foreign exchange risk is an aggregate corporate-level currency exposure. The aggregate foreign exchange exposure is composed of all assets
and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies; the analysis excludes net foreign currency investments.
A 10% strengthening/weakening of the TL, UAH,
BYN, EUR against the following currencies as at
31 March 2024 would have increased/(decreased) profit or loss before by the amounts shown below. This analysis assumes that all
other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant.

| 21. | Discontinued operations (continued) |
Deferred tax asset related to discontinued operations
Lifecell, which is in the discontinued operation
group, has recorded a deferred tax asset of TL 1,132,088 as of 31 March 2024, since it is highly unlikely to benefit from the deductible
financial losses amounting to TL 6,289,378 (31 December 2023: TL 7,525,878) by making a taxable profit in the future (31 December 2023:
TL 1,354,658). The mentioned financial losses are of unlimited duration. The group has used business plans for the following years when
determining the amount of deferred tax assets available for use and evaluates that accumulated losses can be utilized within 4 years as
of 31 March 2024.
| 22. | Seasonality of operations |
The Turkish mobile communications market is affected
by seasonal peaks and troughs. Historically, the effects of seasonality on mobile communications usage had positively influenced the Company’s
results in the second and third quarters of the fiscal year and negatively influenced the results in the first and fourth quarters of
the fiscal year. Recently, however, due to changing market dynamics, such as the Information Technologies and Communications Authority
(“ICTA”)’s intervention in tariffs and increasing competition in the Turkish telecommunications market, the effects
of seasonality on the Company’s subscribers’ mobile communications usage has decreased.
On 2 May 2024, the general assembly has approved
a dividend distribution for the year ended amounting to TL 6,276,998; this represents a gross cash dividend of full TL 2.8531809
per share with a nominal value of TL 1. The dividend will be paid to the shareholders on 5 December 2024.
