Kocaer Çelik doubles net profit in the first half of the year

Despite price pressures in the global steel industry and challenging market conditions, the company delivered strong operational performance, increasing its net profit by 101% year-on-year from 196 million TL to 393 million TL.

Pre-tax profit rose by 28% from 365 million TL to 467 million TL, while total revenue decreased by 2% from 10.68 billion TL to 10.52 billion TL. Gross profit increased by 12% from 1.93 billion TL to 2.16 billion TL, with the gross profit margin improving from 18.1% to 20.5% and the net profit margin rising from 1.8% to 3.7%. EBITDA grew by 8% from 1.39 billion TL to 1.50 billion TL, maintaining an EBITDA margin of 14%.

Total sales volume increased by 19.7% year-on-year from 262,367 tons to 314,155 tons. The share of value-added products in total sales rose from 38% in the first half of 2024 to 47% in the same period of 2025, compared to 42% for the full year of 2024. During this period, sales included 78,633 tons of structural steel profiles, 147,478 tons of value-added profiles, 44,096 tons of U and C-shaped steel profiles, and 43,948 tons of H-shaped steel profiles.

Exports accounted for 78% of total sales, generating 8.18 billion TL in export revenue and 2.23 billion TL in domestic sales revenue between January 1 and June 30, 2025. Thanks to completed upgrades and new machinery investments at its three steel profile plants in Aliağa, the company’s investment needs have decreased. Excluding the energy segment, capital expenditures dropped by 36% year-on-year to 203.2 million TL.

Total financial debt decreased by 1% compared to the end of 2024, reaching 5.413 billion TL as of June 30, 2025. The net financial debt-to-EBITDA ratio remained at 1.1x. The management emphasized that sustainable profitability is supported by the production of high value-added products, efficiency gains from modernization investments, and market diversification across different regions.
