D-MARKET Electronic Services & Trading (Hepsiburada) reported strong top-line growth for Q4 and full-year 2025, with Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) increasing by 10.5% and revenue by 17.8% in Q4. Free cash flow also saw robust growth, rising 79.3% in Q4. However, these gains came at a significant cost to profitability, as Q4 EBITDA plummeted by 99.9% to TRY 1.1 million, and net loss surged by 251.9% to TRY 3.08 billion. The company attributes the increased losses to strategic investments in growth initiatives, including efforts to speed up and reduce delivery costs, performance marketing, and installment payments. While growth and cash generation are positive, the substantial deterioration in core profitability raises concerns about the sustainability and efficiency of these investments. Investors will need to assess if the growth justifies the current level of losses.
