This performance landed at the lower end of management’s guidance due to persistent external headwinds, like a 24% decline in smartphone sales, high interest rates, and regulatory tax changes.

To capture this growth, 2026 guidance for the Turkish business is set at EBITDA breakeven, allowing for aggressive reinvestment into logistics and personalization tools.
