Turkcell Investor Relations Receives Top Award with Its Financial Results Communication Two Years in a Row

Turkcell (NYSE:TKC) (BIST:TCELL) Investor Relations was recognized for its financial results communication in a ceremony held by TUYID, the Investor Relations Association of Turkey. Turkcell received TUYID’s top award in the “Communication of Financial Results” category again this year following a similar success in 2014.

Members of Borsa Istanbul’s BIST100 index – in other words Turkey’s top publicly-traded companies – were evaluated by KPMG for the TUYID awards. Turkcell was found to have the best practice in Turkey in the category of “Communication of Financial Results” following a transparent evaluation process. Both the annual report and quarterly announcements were taken into consideration.

“We are honored to have been recognized again this year for the high quality of our financial results communication. Providing transparent, equal and timely information to our investors – and doing so consistently – is the foundation of the strong bond of trust that we have with the investor community” said Nihat Narin, Turkcell’s director of Investor Relations & Business Development. “We hope that the example that we set with our IR practices facilitates the work of other Turkish companies in their international endeavors.”

It aims to develop professional know-how and to elevate Turkish investor relations applications to global standards.
