    Cesar Tiron's questions to Turkcell Iletisim Hizmetleri AS (TKC) leadership • Q2 2024

    Question

    Cesar Tiron of Morgan Stanley inquired about the key drivers expected to reaccelerate top-line growth in the second half of the year and asked for an update on the company's plans for the proceeds from the Ukrainian asset sale.

    Answer

    Executive Ali Koç explained that Q2 2024 revenue growth was impacted by the absence of a positive base effect from the prior year's earthquake and suppressed equipment sales, which had a 4 percentage point negative impact. Regarding the Ukraine sale proceeds, Koç stated that while no board decision has been made, the funds could be used for significant future investments, such as the 5G rollout, or for the redemption of the 2025 Eurobond. He also noted the company's dividend policy allows for a payout of at least 50% of distributable net income.
