COMMENTS BY MURAT ERKAN, CEO

We have concluded a quarter of continued profitable growth on strong operational performance. We are achieving the positive results of our strategy, which we reviewed towards further customer centricity. Accordingly, while gaining over half a million new subscribers, the average revenue per user has also increased both in mobile and fixed broadband.

Our consolidated revenues were TRY6.6 billion, while EBITDA1 reached TRY2.8 billion, delivering a 43.1% EBITDA margin. Net income more than tripled that of last year’s, reaching TRY801 million. With these results, we generated TRY18.5 billion in revenues on a 17.8% yearly increase and TRY7.7 billion in EBITDA on 17.2% growth in the first nine months. These results conform to our plans and we reiterate our 2019 full year guidance2; revenue growth target of 17%-19%, EBITDA margin target of 39%-41% and an operational capex to sales ratio3 of 16%-18%.

Our postpaid subscriber base grew by over half a million

We have set a new record in postpaid subscriber acquisition with our innovative offers responding to customer needs. As a result, our subscriber base increased by 526 net mobile subscriber additions. Total postpaid subscribers reached 19.4 million, to 56% of the total. Our strategy of satisfying customer hearts and minds by delivering unique, artificial intelligence-backed offers has underpinned this success.

Having one of the widest frequency bands and fastest mobile networks in the world enables us to offer the latest technology products such as Superbox4. Turkcell remains the first and only operator in Turkey capable of providing an FWA product offering fiber-like speed over a mobile network. Superbox subscribers increased by 88 thousand this quarter at an accelerated pace, reaching 217 thousand in total. Furthermore, our fixed broadband subscribers reached 2.2 million with 29 thousand net fiber subscriber additions. Multiplay with TV+ users5 rose to 52.2% of fiber residential subscribers.

Upsell to higher tariffs on increasing data demand per user, demand for digital services and increasing postpaid subscriber base have all reflected to ARPU levels. Mobile ARPU6 rose 17.6% yearly to TRY45.5, while fiber residential ARPU recorded all-time-high growth of 19.8%, reaching TRY68.4.

We are taking firm steps in three key strategic focus areas

We believe that achievements in three strategic areas defined in early 2019 will be the drivers of meeting our long-term targets. New services in corporate solutions, expansion of and partnerships for Paycell services, the expansion of Financell’s target customer segment and the advancement of digital services with differentiating features confirm our leadership in these areas.

In digital business solutions, a key focus area, we serve the digital transformation of both private and public sector companies on our strong network and through our analytical capabilities. In this regard, we have further invested in our data center business, a major pillar of our infrastructure. We have planned the inauguration of Turkey’s largest data center in Ankara for November 1st, 2019. This environmentally friendly green building on 12 thousand m2 white space will enhance our data center portfolio. With rising data storage capacity, we aim to serve Turkey’s digital transformation with our services.

The fifth city hospital, to which we provide integrated information technologies infrastructure within the framework of our digital business solutions, has commenced operations this quarter. Located in Bursa, the hospital is built on advanced technological infrastructure, enabling communication between medical devices. We proudly deliver Turkcell quality to city hospitals’ digital infrastructure, powered by our Hospital Information Management Systems software.

This quarter, we have also launched a new business model that enables our corporate customers to lease smartphones. Taking this model one-step further, we now also offer financing for corporates through Financell for their smart device and other technology needs, advancing their “digital transformation”.

Our innovate service in tech-fin, Paycell, is now advanced with new integrations. Meanwhile, our meal card investment, Paye Kart, is now an accepted payment alternative across a wider network. Welcome at over 7 thousand locations, Paye Kart also serves as a travel card for İstanbul. Having accomplished the integration of istanbulkart into Paycell, we have expanded the benefits of both products.

Total financing provided by Financell for consumers purchasing technological products on Turkcell sales channels has cumulatively reached TRY14 billion. Accordingly, we have enabled some 5 million individuals to satisfy their technology needs.

We continue our innovative digital services approach

Our communication and life platform BiP, so far downloaded 39.8 million times, is equipped with new feature that differentiate it from the competition. With the latest advancement, BiP users can make voice and video calls on alternative devices through the web even when if their phones are unavailable.

Continued focus on a robust financial structure

Financial markets have been mild and rather positive amid the macroeconomic rebalancing in the third quarter. In this environment, we have continued to strengthen our balance sheet with prudent financial management and cash generated through operations. As at the end of September, the leverage ratio improved by 0.8x year-on-year, down to 1.0x, widening the gap between ourselves and the peer group.

We aim to implement our sustainability approach across our entire business

Reflecting the sustainability focus of our business model, we have registered another first for Turkey with the wider use of the portable solar site. This environmentally friendly site is used for quality communication in those regions of seasonal population that lack a significant energy supply. With our investment in renewable energy technologies, we now have a capacity of producing around 480 MWh of electricity per annum though alternative energy sources.

We will announce our 3-year plans in London

We plan to announce and discuss our three-year targets, which we recently reviewed, as well as our strategic priorities on November 12, 2019 in London at the Turkcell Capital Markets Day.

We thank all our colleagues for the part they have played in our success, along with our Board of Directors for their unyielding trust and support. We also express our gratitude to our customers and business partners, who have remained with us throughout our success story.

Historical periods were restated to reflect this change.

Revenue of the Group rose 13.6% year-on-year in Q319 mainly driven by the strong ARPU performance of Turkcell Turkey on the back of rising data and digital services usage of subscribers and upsell efforts.

Turkcell Turkey revenues, comprising 86% of Group revenues, rose 15.2% to TRY5,652 million (TRY4,907 million).

– Data and digital services revenues grew by 21.9% to TRY3,806 million (TRY3,123 million).

  • Rising number and data consumption of 4.5G subscribers, increased digital services usage along with upsell to higher ARPU offerings were the main drivers of revenue growth on the mobile side.
  • The main drivers on the fixed front were the increased ratio of multiplay subscribers with TV, upsell efforts and price adjustments.

– Equipment revenues rose to TRY470 million (TRY419 million).

– Wholesale revenues rose to TRY327 million (TRY320 million) on the back of increased carrier traffic.

Turkcell International revenues, at 8% of Group revenues, rose 23.8% to TRY525 million (TRY424 million), mainly driven by the strong ARPU performance of lifecell and BeST on the back of rising mobile data revenues.

Other subsidiaries’ revenues, comprising 6% of Group revenues, which includes information and entertainment services, call center revenues and revenues from financial services were at TRY409 million (TRY468 million).

– We completed the sale of our shares in Azerinteltek, our sports betting business in Azerbaijan, as of January 11, 2019. We received the transfer of proceeds on December 27, 2018 and transferred control of the subsidiary. We did not report any revenues in the first nine months of 2019 in relation to Azerinteltek operations.

– Our contract with Spor Toto to carry out sports betting operations in Turkey has ended as of August 28, 2019.

– Our consumer finance company’s revenues were at TRY218 million (TRY252 million) in Q319. Revenues were impacted by the decline in the consumer loan portfolio, from TRY4.8 billion as of Q318 to TRY2.7 billion as of Q319, due mainly to the installment limitation on consumer loans for telecom devices.

Cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization) decreased to 46.8% (47.8%) as a percentage of revenues in Q319. This was mainly driven by the decline in consumer finance business cost of funding (1.5pp) and Universal Project costs (1.0pp) despite the rise in other cost items (1.5pp) as a percentage of revenues. Please note that Universal Project is aimed at covering unserved rural areas and realized at cost.

Administrative expenses were at 2.8% (2.8%) as a percentage of revenues in Q319.

Selling and marketing expenses declined to 5.4% (6.3%) as a percentage of revenues in Q319. This was mainly driven by the decline in selling expenses (1.2pp), despite the rise in other cost items (0.3pp) as a percentage of revenues.

Net impairment losses on financial and contract assets increased to TRY126 million (TRY109 million) in Q319.

EBITDA1 grew by 18.6% year-on-year in Q319 leading to an EBITDA margin of 43.1% (41.3%). This was driven by the increased share of telecommunications services revenues and effective opex management.

– Turkcell Turkey’s EBITDA rose by 16.8% to TRY2,392 million (TRY2,048 million) leading to an EBITDA margin of 42.3% (41.7%).

– Turkcell International EBITDA2 increased to TRY236 million (TRY151 million) leading to an EBITDA margin of 45.0% (35.5%).

– The EBITDA of other subsidiaries grew by 8.3% to TRY211 million (TRY195 million).

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by 22.8% in Q319 year-on-year.

Net finance expense decreased to TRY521 million (TRY869 million) in Q319. This was mainly driven by lower net foreign exchange losses after hedging despite lower interest income on bank deposits compared to Q318. Please note that the Group started to apply hedge accounting as of July 1, 2018 for existing participating cross currency swap and cross currency swap transactions, in accordance with the IFRS 9 hedge accounting requirement. Please see the IFRS report for details.

See Appendix A for details of net foreign exchange gain and loss.

Income tax expense increased 58.7% year-on-year in Q319. Please see Appendix A for details.

Net income of the Group ramped up to TRY801 million (TRY241 million) in Q319. This was mainly driven by a solid operational performance and lower net FX losses after hedging. Please note that, we booked a provision of TRY128 million for wireless tax related to 2018 and 2019 fiscal years in Q319 which had after tax net income impact of TRY116 million.

Total cash & debt: Consolidated cash as of September 30, 2019 increased to TRY10,975 million from TRY10,687 million as of June 30, 2019. Excluding the FX swap transactions for TRY borrowing, 72% of our cash is in US$, 17% in EUR and 11% in TRY.

Consolidated debt as of September 30, 2019 declined to TRY20,675 million from TRY22,062 million as of June 30, 2019 mainly driven by debt repayments of the consumer finance business and the impact of FX on foreign currency denominated debt. Please note that TRY1,544 million of our consolidated debt is comprised of lease obligations.

(1) EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. See page 13 for the explanation of how we calculate adjusted EBITDA and its reconciliation to net income.

(2) We started to capitalize the frequency usage fees of lifecell in Q418 in accordance with IFRS16. The change was implemented retrospectively for 2018; impact regarding previous quarters of 2018 was booked in Q418. We started to capitalize the frequency usage fees of BeST in Q219 in accordance with IFRS16. The impact regarding Q119 was also booked in Q219. These changes positively impacted Turkcell International EBITDA.

Additionally, under our revised policy, prepaid customers who last topped up before March will be disconnected at the latest by year-end.

Our mobile subscriber base rose to 34.4 million on 526 thousand quarterly net additions in Q319 on the back of customized offers leveraging big data analysis. Our postpaid subscribers grew on 503 thousand quarterly net additions to 56.3% (54.5%) of our total mobile subscriber base.

In Q319, our average monthly mobile churn rate was at 2.5%, while our average monthly fixed churn rate was at 2.1%. The regulatory change in registration of the prepaid lines led to closure of lines with no resident permit and impacted the mobile churn rate by 0.1pp.

Mobile ARPU (excluding M2M) rose by 17.6% year-on-year in Q319 mainly driven by favorable customer mix, upsell efforts on increased data consumption, price adjustments and higher revenue generating subscriber acquisitions.

We registered all time high residential fiber ARPU growth of 19.8% in Q319 year-on-year, mainly on upsell performance and price adjustments along with higher revenue generating subscriber acquisitions. Multiplay subscribers with TV4, reaching 52.2% of total residential fiber subscribers, also contributed to ARPU growth.

Average mobile data usage per user rose 50% in Q319 year-on-year on the back of increased number and higher data consumption of 4.5G users along with the contribution of rich digital offerings. Accordingly, the average mobile data usage of 4.5G users reached 10GB in Q319.

The number of 4.5G compatible smartphones on our network continued to increase in Q319 and reached 19.6 million on 0.7 million quarterly additions comprising 85% of total smartphones on our network.

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 assets (affecting relative depreciation 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 translation gain/(loss), finance income, finance expense, share of profit of equity accounted investees, gain on sale of investments, minority interest and other income/(expense).

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 as issued by the IASB, to net profit, which we believe is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.
