Revenues
Turkish vehicle sales grew 61% YoY in 1Q21 to 205,176 units supported by the low base year, pull forward demand (price increase expectations in the upcoming period, ongoing campaigns and vehicle availability concerns) and home delivery trends.

Ford Otosan maintained its CV leadership with 34.8% market share in commercial vehicles while ranking #2 in the total industry with 10.6% share (1Q20: 10.7%).
Commercial vehicle sales in Europe recovered post-peak pandemic and recorded strong growth in 1Q21. Registrations increased 27%, supported by home delivery business and the low base year. Ford continued to be No.1 CV brand across Europe with 15.9% market share in Q1, up 0.9 pps YoY and 1.3 pps YtD. Ford's CV sales grew 33% YoY.

Domestic Revenues were TL 3,718 million in 1Q21, doubling YoY with 41% YoY growth in volumes, positive sales mix and ongoing pricing discipline. Export Revenues were TL 12,537 million in 1Q21, up 67% YoY due to 29% growth in volumes, exchange impact (average EUR/TRY up 32% YoY) and sales mix. Total Revenues increased 74% YoY to TL 16,254 million and volumes were up 31% YoY. Share of exports in total revenues was 77% in 1Q21 (1Q20: 80%).
Profitability
Profitability was very strong in 1Q21 due to i) strong export performance driving high CUR, ii) robust domestic volumes, iii) pricing discipline, iv) ongoing cost reduction measures and OpEx control and v) exchange impact (average EUR/TRY up 32% in 1Q21 YoY).
Gross Profit rose 93% YoY to TL 2,068 million supported by higher share of domestic sales (up from 20% in 1Q20 to 23% in 1Q21), ongoing focus on cost reduction and pricing discipline. Despite the 90% YoY rise in Net Financial Expenses, Net Other Income grew 39% YoY to TL 161 million in 1Q21, supported by the 59% increase in Net FX Gain from Operating Activities (resulting from strong exports and currency impact). As a result, Operating Profit increased 117% YoY in 1Q21 to TL 1,721 million. Operating Profit excluding currency impact grew 130% YoY to TL 1,559 million. EBITDA grew 95% YoY to TL 1,973 million while EBITDA excluding the currency impact was up 102% YoY to TL 1,812 million. EBITDA per vehicle was EUR 1,908. PBT per vehicle was EUR 1,914, marking a historical high.
TL 183 million Net Financial Expenses in 1Q20 became TL 94 million Net Other Income in 1Q21, mainly driven by the 839% YoY growth in Net Interest Income (strong cash position and rising interest rates) in addition to the 30% YoY decline in Net FX Loss. As a result, Profit Before Tax increased 197% YoY to TL 1,817 million. Net Income was TL 1,819 million, up 189% YoY and higher than PBT due to Tax Income Resulting from Deferred Tax Asset.
