In a year where demand fluctuations and price pressures stood out in global steel markets, the company maintained its operational resilience thanks to its flexible production capability, balanced export structure, and value-added product strategy.
Increasing its total sales volume by 17.6% and its production by 26% in 2025 compared to the previous year, Kocaer Steel reached the highest sales and production levels in its history. This sales performance was achieved through the impact of an export network with a wide geographical distribution, deepening in existing markets, and the ability to access new markets. The company continued its growth despite frequently changing trade policies, quotas, taxes, tariffs, and similar protectionist practices in the global iron and steel sector.
In the same period, net sales reached TL 24.1 billion , while adjusted EBITDA was TL 3.1 billion. These results demonstrated that the company managed its volume growth alongside a profitability-oriented structural transformation.
Export Power and Value-Added Product Strategy Supported Performance
With more than sixty years of industrial experience, Kocaer Steel, which currently exports to 140 countries across 6 continents, realized USD 457 million in exports and export-registered sales in 2025. In the same period, the share of foreign currency-denominated sales was in the 90–95% band.
New generation products commissioned following the completion of investments in the A1 and A2 factories provided a significant improvement in the product mix. The share of value-added steel profiles in the total sales volume rose from 39% in 2023 and 42% in 2024 to 43% in 2025. This transformation in the product mix was also positively reflected in profitability indicators.
Strong Improvement in Financial Resilience and Operational Efficiency
The increase in net profit in 2025 compared to 2024 demonstrated that Kocaer Steel activated the right levers focused on product mix optimization, cost discipline, and operational efficiency. This approach also confirmed that the sustainable profitability target was prioritized over turnover-oriented growth.
The company's balance sheet quality also strengthened significantly during the year, with the net financial debt ratio decreasing from 0.79x to 0.65x.
Evaluating the 2025 results, Kocaer Steel Chairman of the Board Hakan Kocaer stated that the company maintained its agile and resilient business model despite increasing protectionist trends and market pressures globally. Emphasizing that modernization investments and the transformation in the product mix are progressing in line with long-term strategies, Kocaer stated that technological transformation steps are preparing the company for the future.
Kocaer Steel Continues Its Growth with a Focus on Technology and Sustainability
While continuing to develop solutions for its customers operating in the solar energy infrastructure, energy transmission lines, structural steel, transportation, mining, tunneling, shipbuilding, agriculture, machinery manufacturing, and defense industry sectors, Kocaer Steel aims to further increase its effectiveness in global markets in the coming period. While the company deepens its lean and low-carbon production approach, it resolutely advances its growth strategy focused on technology, sustainability, and value-added production.
Positioning social responsibility as an integral part of its business model, Kocaer Steel continues to generate social benefit through its work in different fields, particularly in education, the development of young people, and the support of sports. Placing environmental sensitivity at the center of its corporate priorities, the company considers the protection of natural resources and the support of biodiversity as an inseparable element of its long-term sustainability vision.
The strong operational and financial results obtained in 2025 confirm the sustainability of Kocaer Steel's high-margin and value-added oriented growth model, while demonstrating that the company has moved its green, lean, and digital transformation journey onto a firmer foundation.
