Action:ReiteratedDate:03/04/26
The score is primarily held back by weak profitability and higher leverage despite improving revenue growth and better recent cash generation. Technical indicators are broadly neutral-to-soft, and valuation offers limited support due to the company’s loss-making profile and no stated dividend.
Positive Factors
Revenue Growth Momentum
A strong re-acceleration in revenue indicates improving product-market fit and demand across the platform. Durable top-line momentum supports scale economics, continued investment in logistics and marketing, and a clearer path to leverage fixed costs as growth continues over the next several quarters.
Improved Cash Generation
Materially improved operating and positive free cash flow provide internal funding for growth initiatives and reduce near-term reliance on external financing. Stronger cash conversion enhances resilience and gives management flexibility to invest in operations, logistics, and product features.
Balance Sheet Bolstered by Capital Raise
A fully paid TRY 4.17bn capital injection materially strengthens equity and liquidity, creating a larger buffer against shocks and supporting sustained investment in delivery, marketing and fintech services without immediate need for dilutive or costly debt financing.
Negative Factors
Persistent Loss-Making
The company remains loss-making with negative EBIT and a net loss in 2025, indicating the core marketplace and services have not yet converted growth into consistent profitability. Continued losses pressure returns and require sustained improvement in unit economics to be durable.
Rising Leverage
A marked increase in leverage reduces financial flexibility and raises interest and refinancing risk if cash flows falter. Higher debt levels amplify downside in stressed scenarios and constrain the company's ability to pursue opportunistic investments without further capital support.
Volatile Margins and Cash Flow
Despite recent cash generation, free cash flow declined year-over-year and historical operating cash has been uneven. Margin volatility and inconsistent cash conversion complicate planning, raise execution risk for long-term investments, and weaken confidence in sustainable profitability.

D-Market Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Revenue re-accelerated sharply in 2025 (+28.5% YoY) and operating/free cash flow improved, but profitability remains weak (net loss, negative EBIT) with volatile margins and materially higher leverage (debt-to-equity ~1.59x).
Income Statement
36
Negative
Revenue growth re-accelerated sharply in 2025 (+28.5% YoY) after a nearly flat 2024, showing improving top-line momentum. However, profitability remains the key weakness: 2025 posted a sizable net loss (net margin -6.7%) and negative operating profit (EBIT margin -2.4%), despite being much better than the deeply loss-making 2021–2022 period. Margins have also been volatile, with gross margin dropping materially in 2025 versus 2024, suggesting either pricing pressure, mix shift, or higher costs that the company has not yet fully offset.
Balance Sheet
41
Neutral
Leverage has risen meaningfully: debt-to-equity increased to ~1.59x in 2025 from ~0.67x in 2024, reducing financial flexibility. Equity also declined versus 2024, and returns on equity are strongly negative in 2025, consistent with the net loss. The balance sheet is not distressed based on the data provided, but the direction of higher leverage and weaker equity is a clear risk if profitability does not stabilize.
Cash Flow
58
Neutral
Cash generation improved substantially in 2025, with operating cash flow of ~4.8B and positive free cash flow of ~2.2B, a major step up from near-breakeven operating cash flow and negative free cash flow in 2024. The key drawback is consistency: free cash flow declined year over year in 2025 (down ~33.5%), and historical cash flow has been uneven (including negative operating cash flow in 2021–2022). Overall, cash flow looks healthier than earnings in the most recent year, but volatility remains a watch item.

Hepsiburada Posts Strong 2025 Growth but Wider Losses Amid Heavy Investment and Hyperinflation Adjustments
Feb 26, 2026

On February 26, 2026, Hepsiburada reported unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025, restated under IAS 29 to account for Türkiye’s hyperinflationary environment. The company delivered solid top-line and volume growth, with full-year gross merchandise value rising 4.3% to TRY 257.5 billion, revenue up 13.4% to TRY 84.7 billion, orders up 9.5% to 87.5 million and free cash flow up 83.2% to TRY 8.9 billion, while average order values declined and marketplace mix edged lower.

Despite these operational gains and strong cash generation, profitability deteriorated sharply in 2025, as EBITDA fell 57.8% to TRY 1.1 billion on an inflation-adjusted basis and the net loss widened to TRY 5.7 billion, driven largely by stepped-up investments in delivery speed and cost efficiency, performance marketing and installment payment offerings. Fourth-quarter trends mirrored the full year, with double-digit growth in GMV and revenue supported by the November “Legendary Friday” campaign, but EBITDA nearly breakeven at TRY 1.1 million and quarterly net loss deepening to TRY 3.1 billion, underscoring the earnings pressure from Hepsiburada’s growth initiatives in a challenging macroeconomic and accounting environment.
