Koç Holding CEO Levent Çakıroğlu commented on the financial results and said, “Having laid its foundation in 1926, our Group is preparing to welcome its second century next year with strong investments made in line with our long-term strategic vision. Despite the challenges posed by increased global uncertainty, we have maintained our financial resilience thanks to our robust liquidity, balanced portfolio structure and extensive supply chain. With the dedicated efforts of nearly 130,000 colleagues working in our country and around the world, we continue to raise the bar for success.”

Highlighting Koç Group's pioneering role in Turkey's production and exports, Çakıroğlu said, "With combined revenues exceeding 7% of the national income and a share of over 7% in Turkey's exports, our Group makes a significant contribution to the country's economy. As a reflection of our exports to more than 155 countries, we are proud to once again rank among the top in the Turkish Exporters' Assembly's ‘Turkey's Top 1,000 Exporters’ survey this year. In the goods exports category of the study, Ford Otosan was crowned “Export Champion,” Tüpraş ranked third and Arçelik ranked ninth. Moreover, Ford Otosan, Tüpraş, and TürkTraktör were selected as “Export Leaders” in their respective industries. In the ‘Turkey's 500 Largest Industrial Companies’ study prepared by the Istanbul Chamber of Industry, Tüpraş maintained its first-place position, while Ford Otosan ranked second and Arçelik ranked seventh."

Assessing the developments that stood out at Koç Group in the second quarter of 2025, Çakıroğlu affirmed, "Tüpraş, one of our energy group companies, secured a five-year syndicated loan of 500 million USD, one of the most salient financing transactions of the year, with the participation of seven international banks. This sustainability-linked loan will contribute to Tüpraş’s progress towards its targets under its Strategic Transformation Plan.” Reminding that Tüpraş signed an important cooperation agreement with Turkish Airlines for one of the key focus areas of its plan, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), Çakıroğlu continued: "Tüpraş is the main supplier of Istanbul Airport, one of the most important airports in the region. Under the new partnership, Tüpraş will produce Turkey’s first Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) to be supplied to Turkish Airlines starting next year.”

Expressing that the integration process has been ongoing successfully following Tofaş's acquisition of Stellantis Turkey's shares, Çakıroğlu indicated, “We will continue to contribute to enhancing our country's competitive strength in the automotive sector with initiatives that confirm the trust of Koç Group and of our partner Stellantis in Turkey.”

Çakıroğlu also drew attention to Tek-Art's new yacht port investment in Göcek, stating, "A share purchase agreement has been signed between our affiliated company Tek-Art Kalamış, Fenerbahçe Marmara Tourism Facilities A.Ş. and Yıldız Holding, Sağlam Construction for the acquisition of Göcek Village Port Marina, Göcek Exclusive Port Marina and the hotel assets located on these sites. The total consideration to be paid under the agreement, subject to closing adjustments, amounts to 160 million USD. Following the necessary approvals from the Competition Authority and relevant ministries, we aim to further strengthen our investments in the tourism sector through this transaction."

Declaring that the Group progresses with determination towards its goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050, Çakıroğlu reminded that Koç Group’s achievements in this area have been recognised internationally. Noting that they view these achievements as a testament to the Group’s commitment and responsibility in the field of sustainability, Çakıroğlu specified, “We are proud to be listed on the ‘Global A’ list in the Supplier Participation Assessment of the CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project), the world’s largest environmental reporting platform. We have also been rated in the leadership category of the CDP’s Climate Change and Water Security Programmes. Additionally, we have secured a place in the top 10% of the industrial holding category in S&P Global’s Corporate Sustainability Assessment, one of the world’s largest credit rating agencies.”
