D-MARKET Electronic Services & Trading (known as "Hepsiburada"), a notable Turkish e-commerce platform, recently shared its financial results for the second quarter of 2025. The latest figures indicate a robust recovery in consumer demand and substantial growth across key operational metrics.
Financial Highlights
In Q2 2025, Hepsiburada experienced an 11.9% rise in gross merchandise value (GMV), totaling TRY 51.1 billion compared to TRY 45.6 billion in the same period last year. When excluding inflation adjustments, the GMV increased by an impressive 52.2%, reaching TRY 50.3 billion.
Revenue and Growth Metrics
The company's revenue increased by 22.6%, amounting to TRY 16,743.8 million in Q2 2025, compared to TRY 13,657.3 million in Q2 2024. This increase was supported by an 8.1% rise in the number of orders, which reached 18.9 million, alongside a growth in average order value, which rose by 5.3%.
Customer Metrics
Despite the overall positivity, the number of active customers saw a slight decrease of 0.8%, now totaling 12.0 million. This dip was reflected in the reduced number of active customers when excluding digital products and HepsiExpress, which fell by 1.2% to 11.6 million.
Operational Efficiency and EBITDA
Hepsiburada’s EBITDA grew significantly, increasing by 41.6% to TRY 739.5 million from TRY 522.1 million year-over-year. This allowed the EBITDA margin to also improve, with EBITDA as a percentage of GMV rising to 1.4%, up from 1.1% in Q2 2024. The growth in EBITDA can largely be attributed to enhanced revenue streams and efficient cost management practices.
Net Loss Insights
However, the company reported a net loss of TRY 723.8 million during the quarter, a notable increase from a loss of TRY 519.3 million in the previous year. This increase in net loss stemmed from increased financial expenses and provision expenses, which totaled TRY 247.9 million for the quarter, compared to TRY 84.9 million in Q2 2024.
Investment in Future Growth
Despite the reported net loss, Hepsiburada maintained a strong cash flow position, with free cash flow reported at an inflow of TRY 3,405.2 million, contrasting sharply with an outflow of TRY 870.4 million from the previous year. This stark improvement suggests that the company’s operations are becoming more efficient and profitable over time.
