Koç Holding made a combined investment of USD 1.7 billion in the first six months of the year

Koç Holding announced its financial results for the first half of 2026. Accordingly, Koç Holding generated a consolidated revenue of USD 36.4 billion in the first half of 2026, while realizing approximately USD 1.7 billion in combined investments. This brought the company's combined investments over the last 5 years to USD 16.9 billion.

Evaluating the developments in the first half of 2026, Koç Holding CEO Levent Çakıroğlu said, “In this period when uncertainties and economic fluctuations continue to take effect across the world, particularly in our immediate geography, we remained determined to work for our country. Thanks to our strategic perspective, financial capabilities, and operational discipline, we delivered a successful performance in the first half. Our investments, our contribution to production and exports, our long-term sustainability efforts, and the achievements we have secured in national and international platforms continue to be the most tangible indicators of our stable performance and long-term value creation approach.”

Drawing attention to the contribution of Koç Group companies to the Turkish economy in the fields of production and export, Çakıroğlu stated: “Our Group makes a significant contribution to our country's economy with a share of over 8 percent in Turkey's exports. As a reflection of our exports to more than 155 countries, we are proud to be at the top once again this year in the Turkish Exporters Assembly's 'Turkey's Top 1,000 Exporters' research. In the Goods Exports category of the study, Ford Otosan became the 'Export Champion' for the eleventh time, while Tüpraş ranked sixth and Arçelik ninth. Furthermore, our Group companies were selected as 'Export Leaders' in their respective sectors. In the 'Turkey's Top 500 Industrial Enterprises' survey prepared by the Istanbul Chamber of Industry, Tüpraş maintained its first-place position this year as well, while Ford Otosan took second and Arçelik sixth place. Koç Holding retains its title as the only company from Turkey listed in the Fortune Global 500, which features the world's largest companies. This picture is a result of our confidence in our country, our long-term investment approach, our strong production infrastructure, our technology and R&D competencies, and the hard work of our colleagues. While our strong position in production and exports reinforces our global competitiveness, it further increases our responsibility to contribute to Turkey's economic development.”

Çakıroğlu expressed that in the second quarter of the year, Group companies continued to create value in artificial intelligence technology along with their strategic investments. Highlighting Tüpraş’s operational power and its contribution to the country’s energy security, Çakıroğlu said, “While Tüpraş provides uninterrupted contributions to our country's energy security, it continues to create value for all its stakeholders through its high capacity utilization, flexible crude oil supply structure, and strong operational and financial performance. In the second quarter, when the global refining capacity utilization rate dropped to 74%, Tüpraş maintained its strong performance thanks to a 95.6% capacity utilization rate, crude oil procurement from 11 different countries, operational flexibility, and agility.” Çakıroğlu noted that Arçelik's subsidiary, Beko B.V., reached an agreement to acquire shares representing 25 percent of the capital owned by the Whirlpool Group in Beko Europe B.V., stating, “Upon completion of the transaction, Beko B.V. gained full ownership of Beko Europe's European production, sales, and marketing operations. This step will enable Arçelik to manage its decision-making processes more effectively, supporting its long-term growth targets in Europe.”

Stating that Tofaş maintained its leadership in the Turkish automotive market and raised its annual production capacity to 500 thousand vehicles, Çakıroğlu added: “Tofaş continues to create added value for the Turkish economy, industry, and R&D capabilities through the major roles it undertakes in global product development projects. Manufacturing the K0-coded mid-size light commercial vehicle family for the Citroën, FIAT, Opel, and Peugeot brands at its Bursa plant, Tofaş will soon begin producing the K9-coded light commercial vehicle family for the same four brands following the completion of the production program for Fiat Egea, Turkey’s most preferred car for 10 consecutive years. Tofaş will continue to contribute to the competitiveness and exports of our country's automotive industry while further strengthening its production and engineering capabilities with the new projects it brings to life.”

Noting that Yapı Kredi's financing transactions in international markets during the first six months of the year once again reaffirmed the bank's strong balance sheet, high liquidity, and reputation among global investors, Çakıroğlu stated: "Yapı Kredi secured over USD 2 billion in new funding in the second quarter of the year. Diversifying its funding structure by utilizing capital markets, syndicated loans, and structured finance instruments together, our bank reinforced international investors' confidence once again. The funds provided strengthen both our bank's sustainable growth and the financing support we offer to the national economy."

Emphasizing that in its second century, Koç Group focuses on creating long-term value across all operational areas and resolutely continues its climate change, water management, and technology-driven transformation efforts, Levent Çakıroğlu concluded his remarks by saying: “Our efforts regarding the fight against climate change and the protection of water resources are also commended in international platforms. As Koç Holding, maintaining our leadership status by achieving an A- score in the Climate Change and Water Security Program of the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP)—the world's only independent environmental reporting platform—is a tangible indicator of the steps we have taken. In the upcoming period, we will continue to view sustainability as an integral part of our responsibility toward future generations and take our leadership in this field even further.”
