Kalekim announced its 1Q25 IAS 29 results yesterday (6 May), after the market closed, reporting net earnings of TRY 139m, -3% yoy, in its inflation-adjusted income statement.

We see that the weakness in the operating performance was offset partially by the higher net financial income and lower net monetary losses.
