5.Segment information

Consistent with the Group’s strategy to provide integrated communications and technology services and to ensure economic integrity, the Group determined its operating segments in accordance with IFRS 8 Operating Segments as “Turkcell Türkiye” and “Techfin”. Although strategic segments provide similar services, they are affected by different economic conditions and geographical locations and they are regularly reviewed by chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) authority in making decisions regarding the Group’s operations, based on resource allocation and performance. The authority responsible for making decisions related to the Group’s operations is the Board of Directors. However, the Board of Directors may delegate its powers excluding the non-delegable powers stipulated by law to the CEO and other executives.

The Board primarily uses adjusted EBITDA to assess the performance of the operating segments. Adjusted EBITDA definition includes revenue, cost of revenue excluding depreciation and amortization, selling and marketing expenses and administrative expenses.
