Cresco Labs Announces Strategic Restructuring and Plans to Divest California Operations
The Company is in active discussions with prospective buyers interested in acquiring its California assets, including cultivation, manufacturing, and select distribution operations. It expects to finalize the transaction within the next several quarters, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Cresco Labs will retain full ownership of its premium FloraCal® brand and continue producing and marketing the brand across key U.S. markets.
'Capital is increasingly precious in this environment, and our focus is on deploying it where it earns the strongest return,' said Charlie Bachtell, CEO and Co-founder of Cresco Labs. 'While California is the largest cannabis market in the world, the structural challenges—ranging from fragmented retail to price compression and the illicit market—combined with our lack of scaled footprint in the state, make it extremely difficult to generate sustainable profitability. Exiting California allows us to reallocate capital and resources to our core markets and build out new markets where we see clear pathways for growth and shareholder value.'

AN Supps Expands Innovation With Iconic Chiquita® Brand Collab and a Nationwide Walmart U.S. Launch
NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With the indulgence of beach barbeques and happy hours fading into rear view mirrors, consumers will stock up on health and wellness related foods and beverages, while shopping for the Fall. AN Supps, a division of Applied Nutrition PLC, has responded to this trend - joining forces with Chiquita® Brands International and thousands of Walmart U.S. stores to deliver protein and pre-workout sports beverage mixes. AN Supps began its partnership with Chiquita® earlier in 2025, with five co-branded sports nutrition products exclusively sold through The Vitamin Shoppe. The expanded partnership through Walmart allows shoppers to enjoy not only nutritious, healthy supplements so simple to use – but also a great-tasting source for beverage and food snacks, suited for many lifestyles. The AN ESSENTIAL line of Chiquita® co-branded sports nutrition powders, exclusively from AN Supps, is now available at thousands of Walmart locations in the United States, and on 'This partnership evolved naturally,' remarked Aaron Heidebreicht, CEO of AN Supps. 'Bananas are the world's most popular fruit. Walmart already sells over three billion bananas annually in the United States alone. We are determined to address unmet demand in our own aisles. The Chiquita® banner helps us to reinforce the integrity and quality of our sports nutrition, as Chiquita does with its core product.' Heidebreicht continued. 'Each offering delivers on natural flavors – and a serving of each protein powder has 100% of the potassium found in a banana. We are giving wellness consumers the solution they need elsewhere in a Walmart location. Plus, the protein product, like any Chiquita® banana, tastes delicious.' Walmart will be offering two protein powders from AN Supps, featuring the Chiquita co-branding – a banana chocolate whey protein, and a banana strawberry whey protein. Both are gluten-free, potassium enriched, and servings from each contain 20 grams of protein. AN Supps will further celebrate the bevy of fresh fruit that also define the Chiquita® brand equity. Chiquita® distributes fresh apples, berries, pineapples, grapes, melon and citrus worldwide. These inspire two additional Chiquita® co-branded items at Walmarts nationwide: pineapple strawberry and fruit blend pre-workout powders. Much like the Chiquita® fruits inspiring these powders, both are gluten-free, soy-free, vegan-friendly, and with no added sugar. 'Chiquita® has been meticulous in its approach to extending across aisles at retail chains as prestigious as Walmart,' said Maria Janis, Vice-President, Licensing at Chiquita® Brands International. "We ask ourselves introspectively: Does the new category complement wholesome nutrition? Will it appeal to a wide demographic? Do the ingredient and flavor profiles align with Chiquita® fresh produce we ship worldwide? Does the new category reinforce our brand's wellness values? And importantly, will the product meet the needs of critical stakeholders – our shoppers and the retail chains they frequent? The AN Supps line, quite simply, checks all the boxes,' Janis remarked. 'Applied Nutrition PLC is a public company traded on the London Stock Exchange,' continued Heidebreicht. "Our stockholders mandate us to innovate and surpass consumer expectations, while paying homage to the trademark brands that long achieved those goals. We benefit in multiple ways through our strategic alliance with Chiquita® Brands International, and with Walmart locations throughout the United States. This extends our global alliance with these partners, which consumers everywhere continue to enjoy,' Heidebreicht said. The four AN Supps SKUs at Walmart U.S. locations, co-branded with Chiquita®, include banana-chocolate whey protein; banana-strawberry whey protein; pineapple-strawberry pre-workout powder; and fruit blend pre-workout powder. About Chiquita® Brands International Chiquita® is a leading global produce company that is committed to providing both consumers and customers across nearly 70 countries with the highest quality of fruit and service, making Chiquita® the banana of choice. For more than 150 years, Chiquita® has been proudly producing great-tasting, superior quality bananas.

The iconic Blue Sticker has been the seal of approval for high-quality fruit, and a celebration of fun, but it also represents an unwavering commitment to sustainable farming, biodiversity and giving back to the communities in which the banana plantations operate.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS In line with the dividend resolution adopted at the 2024 Annual General Assembly, the first installment of dividend, amounting TRY4.0 billion, was distributed to shareholders on June 20, 2025.

The Techfin segment also contributed positively to group revenues, posting a solid 23.1% growth. Meanwhile, our Data Center & Cloud business — a key pillar of our strategy — delivered 53.2% year-over-year growth, further reinforcing our confidence in its long-term potential.

(3) Our net debt calculation includes financial assets at fair value, whether through other comprehensive income or through profit and loss, reported under current and non-current assets, as well as financial assets at amortized cost. Required reserves held in CBRT balances are not included in total cash and net debt calculation, and this change has been reflected in previous quarters' figures (4) Excluding M2M COMMENTS BY CEO, ALİ TAHA KOÇ, PhD Delivering Strong Results in the Second Quarter of 2025 We closed the first half of 2025 with robust results, supported by our superior infrastructure, the trust we have earned from our customers, and our steadfast commitment to strategic priorities. Even in a highly competitive environment, we sustained healthy and profitable growth while advancing Türkiye's digital transformation through targeted technology and infrastructure investments. This solid financial and operational performance strengthens our confidence in achieving our year-end targets. In the second quarter, through tailored offers and pricing strategies designed specifically for each segment, we delivered the highest quarterly net subscriber additions on the postpaid side in the past five and a half years, while maintaining our profitability focus. Consolidated revenues in the second quarter rose 12.5% year-on-year to TRY 53.0 billion, driven by strong ARPU growth, an expanding subscriber base, and substantial contributions from our Techfin and digital business services. EBITDA 1 increased 14.8% to reach TRY 23.1 billion, with the EBITDA margin improving by 0.9 percentage points year-on-year to 43.5%. Net income grew 7.1% compared with the previous year, reaching TRY 4.2 billion. Healthy Growth Driven by Outstanding Subscriber Net Additions and Strong ARPU Performance The competitive environment in the telecommunications sector remained as anticipated in the second quarter. Building on strong ARPU growth from the first quarter and leveraging the granular subscriber management model introduced this quarter, we executed our campaigns and offers with greater agility and precision, delivering a strong performance. By focusing on our customers' needs and tailoring differentiated value propositions for specific sub-segments, we achieved 816 thousand net postpaid mobile subscriber additions in the second quarter - the highest figure in the past five and a half years. The share of postpaid subscribers in our total mobile base rose by 5 percentage points year-on-year to reach 78%. This increase, combined with targeted pricing adjustments and effective upselling efforts, drove a 9.8% rise in mobile ARPU (excluding M2M) in the second quarter. Reflecting our customer-focused innovation approach, we embraced the 'Turkcell Solves It' mindset and, with the launch of the Tumbara service, continued to deliver solutions that make our customers' daily lives easier. At the heart of our market-differentiating dynamic pricing and campaign strategies is our commitment to meeting customer demands and expectations. Guided by this focus, we will continue enhancing the service we provide to each customer in the coming period. Meanwhile, by expanding our capacity and accelerating the fiberization of our base stations, we continued to strengthen our infrastructure for the arrival of 5G and invest in Türkiye's digital future. On the fixed broadband side, we grew our network by connecting 67 thousand new households to our end-to-end fiber infrastructure. Including fiber services delivered over other ISPs' infrastructures (resell), we connected a total of 20 thousand new subscribers to fiber internet. The share of subscribers using speeds of 100 Mbps and above in our fixed segment rose by 16 percentage points year-on-year. Supported by our growth-driven strategy in the Turkcell fiber business, targeted price adjustments, and rising customer demand for high-speed internet, residential fiber ARPU posted a strong year-on-year increase of 17.5% in the second quarter. Paycell: Driving Growth in the Techfin Segment Our Techfin business, comprising the Paycell and Financell brands, accounts for 6% of our consolidated revenues and continued to make a strong contribution to group performance, growing by 23.1% in the second quarter. Paycell, which enables customers to securely manage their daily financial needs - from mobile payments to investments, and from bill payments to money transfers - all within a single app, has become the driving force of our Techfin segment, achieving revenue growth of 35.8%. This performance was fueled primarily by increased volume in our POS business and the addition of new customers. Addressing the diverse financing needs of its customers, Financell continued to expand its product portfolio during the period with loan offerings designed to improve access to consumer technology. In the first quarter, we launched the foreign currency loan module. In addition, the 'Small Business Device Loan' product - tailored for sole proprietors within the consumer segment - now provides access to both financing and device insurance. Supported by higher average interest rates, Financell's revenues rose 4.7% year-on-year, while net interest margin (NIM) improved by 2.9 percentage points to reach 4.9%. Leading Türkiye's Tech and Communications Landscape with a Clear Sense of Responsibility We continue to see rising demand in the data center and cloud business, where we have been investing for years with the aim of positioning our country as a regional data hub. Each quarter provides further confirmation of the strength of our strategic positioning. Backed by years of expertise, Turkcell maintains its leadership and continues to expand in the data center industry. Driven by strong market demand and the successful monetization of past capacity investments, data center and cloud revenues rose by a solid 53.2% year-on-year. As part of our investment strategy in key areas such as data centers, cloud technologies, and renewable energy, we signed murabaha financing agreements with leading financial institutions in the Gulf region during the second quarter. These agreements - our first based on interest-free (Islamic) financing from the Gulf region - both diversify our debt portfolio and underscore Turkcell's strong reputation in international markets. We are confident these steps will strengthen our long-term strategic investments and make a significant contribution to our country's development. As Türkiye's leading technology and communications company, we continue forward with determination, fully aware of the responsibilities entrusted to us. I would like to extend my sincere thanks to our Board of Directors for their strategic guidance, to all Turkcell employees for their dedication, and to our customers and partners for their continued trust and collaboration.

(3) EBIT is a non-GAAP financial measure and equals EBITDA minus depreciation and amortization expenses. Revenue of the Group rose 12.5% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2025. This resulted from the strong ARPU performance of Turkcell Türkiye with a growing postpaid subscriber base, effective upsell efforts and solid Techfin business performance of 23.1% on a yearly basis. In the second quarter, the Turkcell Türkiye 4 segment was the main driver of this performance, accounting for 91% of Group revenues and rising 11.8% to TRY48,220 million (TRY43,143 million). - Consumer business, representing 75% of Turkcell Türkiye, delivered 9.6% growth. Price increases, subscriber growth in mobile and fixed services, and strong upselling efforts supported this performance. - Corporate revenues, comprising 19% of the segment, increased by 27.3% thanks to high demand on Data Center & Cloud services and strong performance in hardware sales. Notably, Digital Business Services revenues increased by 39.1%, while the Data Center & Cloud business, a sub-segment of Digital Business Services, recorded 53.2% growth in the second quarter. - Wholesale revenues were up 1.1% to TRY2,305 million (TRY2,279 million). (4) Our revenue segmentation was revised as of Q1 2025. Within this scope, all past data have been restated for comparability purposes. For a comprehensive explanation, please refer to the Press Release and the Excel file for Q1 2025, available on the Turkcell IR website. Techfin segment revenues, accounting for 6% of Group revenues, grew by 23.1% to TRY2,916 million (TRY2,369 million). Paycell continued its strong growth momentum, recording 35.8% year-on-year growth in Q225. For details, please refer to the Techfin section. Other 1 segment revenues, comprising 4% of the Group's top-line, which mostly include international business, energy business and non-group call center revenues, rose by 15.2% to TRY1,886 million (TRY1,638 million). Cost of revenue (excluding depreciation and amortization) decreased to 45.9% (46.7%) as a percentage of revenues for the second quarter of 2025. This was driven by the decline in personnel expenses (1.6pp), interconnection cost (0.4pp), funding cost (0.3pp), energy expenses (0.3pp) and other cost items (0.5pp), while the increase in cost of goods sold (1.7pp) and mobile payment expense (0.5pp) as a percentage of revenues. Administrative expenses increased to 3.7% (3.4%) as a percentage of revenues for this quarter. The primary driver of this increase was the rise in personnel expenses. Selling and marketing expenses slightly decreased to 6.3% (6.5%) as a percentage of revenue. Net impairment losses on financial and contract assets were at 0.6% (0.7%) as a percentage of revenue in Q225. EBITDA 2 increased by 14.8% year-on-year in Q225 leading to an EBITDA margin of 43.5% with a 0.9pp improvement (42.6%). - Turkcell Türkiye EBITDA was up by 13.6% to TRY21,838 million (TRY19,220 million), resulting in an EBITDA margin of 45.3% (44.5%). - Techfin segment EBITDA increased by 16.7% to TRY734 million (TRY630 million) with a 1.4pp contraction in EBITDA margin to 25.2% (26.6%). Lower funding costs more than compensated for the increase in mobile payment costs in Q225 as a percentage of revenues. The EBITDA contraction stemmed mainly from cost of collection risk management. - EBITDA of Other was at TRY513 million (TRY255 million). Depreciation and amortization expenses increased by 3.5%, amounting to TRY14,268 million (TRY13,783 million). Net finance costs decreased to TRY1,341 million (TRY2,011 million) in the second quarter of 2025, despite the monetary gain item's contribution being almost halved. This was driven mainly by decreasing net FX loss to TRY2,022 million (TRY2,710 million) and effective balance sheet management. See Appendix A for details of net foreign exchange gain and loss. Other expenses were TRY195 million (TRY284 million) in Q225. Income tax expense amounted to TRY1,690 million (TRY209 million income) in Q225. This variance can be attributed to higher corporate tax, amounting TRY3,667 million, as the company's statutory financials reflected a tax-paying position. Deferred tax income rose to TRY1,977 million and partially offset corporate tax. Profit from continuing operations delivered a solid performance, rising by 36.8% to TRY4,388 million (TRY3,207 million) in the second quarter of the year. As stated above, strong EBITDA, driven by robust operations, and lower net finance costs supported net income, while income tax expense had an adverse impact. Net income of the Group was up by 7.1% to TRY4,201 million (TRY3,922 million) in the second quarter of the year. Notably, discontinued operations contributed TRY713 million to net income in the same period last year due to the sale of our Ukrainian business. (1) Our revenue segmentation was revised as of Q1 2025. Within this scope, all past data have been restated for comparability purposes. For a comprehensive explanation, please refer to the Press Release and the Excel file for Q1 2025, available on the Turkcell IR website. (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. Total cash & debt: Consolidated cash as of June 30, 2025, increased to TRY116,601 million, from TRY80,428 million as of December 31, 2024. Through the Eurobond issuance at the beginning of the year, we secured the financing required for the 5G auction in advance and on favorable terms. On the other hand, we distributed the first installment of dividends to our shareholders on June 20, 2025. Excluding FX swap transactions, 65% of our cash is in US$, 22% in EUR, 3% in CNY, and 9% in TRY. Consolidated debt as of June 30, 2025, increased to TRY172,858 million from TRY121,738 million as of December 31, 2024. Note that TRY14,320 million of our consolidated debt comprises lease obligations. Additionally, 57% of our consolidated debt is in US$, 26% in EUR, 4% in CNY, and 12% in TRY. Net debt 1, as of June 30, 2025, increased to TRY25,371 million from TRY12,497 million as of December 31, 2024, with a net debt to EBITDA ratio of 0.29x. Turkcell Group had a short net FX position of US$102 million at the end of this quarter (this figure takes hedging portfolio, advance payments and precious metal investments into account). The short FX position of US$102 million is in line with our FX neutral definition, which ranges from -US$200 million to +US$200 million. Capital expenditures: Capital expenditures (CAPEX) amounted to TRY40,560 million in the first half of the year, with TRY24,231 million recorded in the second quarter. Operational capital expenditures (excluding license fees) accounted for 16.9% and 18.5% of total revenues in Q225 and H125, respectively. (1) Our net debt calculation includes financial assets at fair value, whether through other comprehensive income or through profit and loss, reported under current and non-current assets, as well as financial assets at amortized cost. Required reserves held in CBRT balances are not included in total cash and net debt calculation, and this change has been reflected in previous quarters' figures Operational Review of Turkcell Türkiye Summary of Operational Data Quarters Q224 Q125 Q225 y/y % q/q % Number of subscribers 1 (million) 43.2 43.1 43.5 0.7% 0.9% Mobile Postpaid (million) 28.1 29.3 30.1 7.1% 2.7% Mobile M2M (million) 4.7 5.3 5.4 14.9% 1.9% Mobile Prepaid (million) 10.4 9.0 8.7 (16.3%) (3.3%) Turkcell Fiber 2 (thousand) 2,375.6 2,484.4 2,488.2 4.7% 0.2% Resell Fixed Broadband 2 (thousand) 810.6 774.2 763.3 (5.8%) (1.4%) ADSL (thousand) 767.8 721.8 695.9 (9.4%) (3.6%) Cable (thousand) 38.1 33.1 31.3 (17.8%) (5.4%) Fiber (thousand) 4.7 19.3 36.0 666.0% 86.5% Superbox 3 (thousand) 746.4 660.0 654.9 (12.3%) (0.8%) IPTV (thousand) 1,484.4 1,456.3 1,430.0 (3.7%) (1.8%) Churn (%) 4 Mobile Churn (%) 1.5% 1.7% 2.2% 0.7pp 0.5pp Fixed Churn (%) 1.2% 1.4% 1.7% 0.5pp 0.3pp Average mobile data usage per user (GB/user) 18.6 17.9 19.2 3.2% 7.3% Expand (1) Includes mobile, fixed broadband, IPTV, and wholesale (MVNO&FVNO) subscribers (2) As of the fourth quarter of 2024, our fixed broadband subscriber reporting has been revised. Turkcell Fiber refers to customers served entirely through our own fiber infrastructure, while Turkcell Resell includes DSL, Cable, and Fiber sales provided through the infrastructures of other ISPs. Accordingly, historical subscriber figures have been revised to ensure comparability. (3) Superbox subscribers are included in mobile subscribers. (4) Churn figures represent average monthly churn for the respective periods. As the market leader in the mobile segment, our primary objective is to sustain our strong market position. To this end, we adopt a dynamic and tailored approach to subscriber portfolio management by diversifying our value-added tariffs in line with evolving customer needs. This strategic focus drives robust net additions, reinforcing our industry leadership and contributes ARPU growth as well. As a consequence of this strategy, we managed to add 816 thousand postpaid subscribers, marking our strongest performance in over five years. The share of postpaid subscribers in the total mobile subscriber base has thus reached 78%, representing an annual increase of five percentage points. As expected, the prepaid subscriber base declined to 8.7 million, primarily due to the rise of alternative data solutions and a customer shift toward postpaid plans in response to inflationary pressures. Our mobile churn rate increased to 2.2% this quarter due to high volatility in the mobile number portability market, which reached a record-high volume of 5.0 million transactions. Mobile ARPU (excluding M2M) recorded a 9.8% year-over-year increase, driven by price adjustments, successful upselling initiatives, and the notable expansion of our postpaid base, which grew by 2.0 million over the past 12 months. On the fixed side, our resell fiber base grew by 17 thousand during the quarter, largely driven by the launch of fiber services over the incumbent operator's infrastructure earlier this year. Turkcell Fiber recorded a net addition of 4 thousand subscribers. However, a decline of 26 thousand ADSL subscribers, resulting from our profitability-driven approach in the resell segment, offset the total fiber net additions. Consequently, our fixed subscriber base remained broadly stable at 3.3 million as of the end of Q2 2025. Residential fiber ARPU rose by 17.5% year-over-year, fueled by the growing share of high-speed packages, a higher proportion of 12-month contracted subscribers, and price adjustments. The share of high-speed packages (100 Mbps and above) increased by 16 percentage points year-over-year this quarter. As part of our ongoing efforts to expand our fiber footprint, we added 67 thousand new homepasses this quarter, bringing the total number of pure fiber homepasses to 6.1 million. TECHFIN Paycell sustained its role as the primary growth engine of the Techfin segment this quarter, delivering 35.8% year-on-year revenue growth, driven primarily by the POS business. POS services recorded 149% revenue growth fueled by rising transaction volumes and the onboarding of new merchants. Notably, 74% of Paycell's revenues were generated from non-group clients, underscoring its growing success beyond the group ecosystem. Regarding profitability, the increasing share of POS within the revenue mix led to a decline in the EBITDA margin — a trend that was anticipated given the nature of the business model. Unlike many other payment companies, Paycell remains profitable and continues to record a solid EBITDA margin by industry standards. The total transaction volume reached TRY39 billion in the second quarter of 2025, increasing by 75% year-on-year. POS volumes grew by 121%, driving the overall volume increase. Financell sustained its positive revenue growth performance of 4.7%, despite tight monetary conditions and TRY20,000 limit on 12-month installment plans for smart phones. Key contributors to this growth were a higher average interest rate across the loan portfolio compared to the previous year and the implementation of tailored pricing offers. The EBITDA margin increased by 1.4pp to 15.5% in this quarter due mainly to lower funding costs on a yearly basis. Financell's loan portfolio reached TRY7.3 billion in Q225. By the end of the second quarter, the company had 0.7 million active customers. Financell is the market leader in the consumer financing sector, holding a 52% market share 1 by number of loans. (1) Source: Association of Financial Instuitions, as of Q125 TURKCELL GROUP SUBSCRIBERS As of June 30, 2025, the Turkcell Group had approximately 45.6 million registered subscribers. This figure is calculated by taking the number of subscribers of Turkcell Türkiye and of each of our subsidiaries. It includes the total number of mobile, fiber, ADSL, cable and IPTV subscribers of Turkcell Türkiye, as well as the mobile subscribers of BeST and Kuzey Kıbrıs Turkcell. (1) Subscribers to more than one service are counted separately for each service. This includes mobile, fixed broadband, IPTV, and wholesale (MVNO&FVNO) subscribers. The foreign exchange rates used in our financial reporting, along with certain macroeconomic indicators, are presented below. RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASUREMENTS: We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, among other key metrics, facilitates performance comparisons from period to period and aids management decision making. It also enables performance comparisons between companies. As a performance measure, Adjusted EBITDA 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 and amortization expenses). 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 metric and the methodology for calculating performance measures such as ARPU varies substantially among operators. It is not standardized across the telecommunications industry; thus, reported performance measures vary from those that may result from using a single methodology. Management believes this metric 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 Q224 and Q225. (1) Revenue from fixed corporate and wholesale business; digital business sales, tower business, and other non-subscriber-based revenues (2) Revenues from Turkcell Türkiye included in ARPU calculation comprise telecommunication services revenue, equipment revenue, and revenues not attributed to ARPU calculation. ABOUT TURKCELL: Turkcell, headquartered in Türkiye, is a leading technology and telecommunications company offering a diverse portfolio of voice, data, and IPTV services across its mobile and fixed networks, alongside digital consumer, enterprise, and techfin solutions. The Turkcell Group operates in three countries: Türkiye, Belarus, and Northern Cyprus.
