Sabancı Holding

Q2 2023 Financial Results

Earnings Release

August 9, 2023

Strong results with improvement in earnings quality

amid challenges and uncertainties

The second quarter of the year was another period that was marked by high volatility in local macro environment together with uncertainties around elections as well as difficulties in the global markets due to recession in major economies. Nevertheless, our balanced portfolio delivered a strong set of results with improvement in earnings quality driven by both bank and non-bank businesses.

In this challenging local and global macroeconomic backdrop, our combined revenue* growth remained solid at 45%, driven mainly by banking and energy businesses. The 73% y/y growth in consolidated net income* in Q2 comfortably remained above a noticeable 51% y/y growth in combined EBITDA*, thereby significantly improving earnings quality. Our operational cash flow* surged 8x in the second quarter of the year. Cash at the Holding-only level stood at TL 4.5 billion and non-bank Net Debt/EBITDA* remained at 0.5x at the end of June. Consolidated ROE* continued to improve in the second quarter, reaching 38%.

Sabancı Holding CEO Cenk Alper said:

"I am happy to report that we have managed to improve our numbers at every level and even outperformed last year, which was a period that was marked by hyperinflation. Our earnings quality continued to increase in the first six months with a sharp improvement in cashflow generation. Our consolidated ROE* in the first half of the year reached 38%, driven by both bank and non-bank businesses.

I am confident that we will continue to reap the benefits of having a diversified portfolio of companies that enables solid and sustainable financial performance despite local and global economic volatility. This, I believe, will continue to be a major competitive advantage for Sabancı Holding.

With the aim of being a pioneer in "sustainability as a business" we continue to accelerate our investments in the areas that support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Together with our ongoing sustainability efforts and new-economy oriented businesses, we aim to reach net-zero emissions by 2050 as our ultimate target.

As you are aware, on May 9, 2023, we have announced our interim Scope 1 and Scope 2 emission reduction targets in line with the SBTi, a major step toward our Net Zero goal. According to these science-based targets, we are committed to decrease our Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% as of 2030 with 2021 as the base year.

1

I am happy to share that we have already reduced our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 11% compared to 2021, owing to our Group-wise efforts and sustainability-dedicated projects as of December 31, 2022, driven mainly by building materials and energy segments. Our next target is to reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 15% by the of end-2025.

We look forward to continuing to deliver solid performance in the second half the year."
