Marti Revenue Increases 110%, Delivers 61% Gross Profit Margin for Full-Year 2025 | MRT Stock News

Performance Well in Excess of Targets, Including Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, and Gross Profit Margin ISTANBUL--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Türkiye’s leading mobility super app Marti Technologies, Inc. (“Marti” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: MRT) today announced its financial and operational results for the full year ended December 31, 2025.Financial and Operational Highlights for the Full Year 2025Strong Platform Services Growth and Scaling: Continued strong platform momentum, exceeding operational ride-hailing targets throughout the year, with all-time unique ride-hailing riders up 103% YoY and registered ride-hailing drivers up 72% YoY, driven by expanded service availability and increased adoption across cities.Improved Financial Performance Driven by Monetization and Scale: Revenue more than doubled to $39.2M (up 110% YoY and 15% above full year 2025 guidance), while net loss narrowed by $32.4M YoY to $41.4M and Adjusted EBITDA improved by $7.2M YoY to $(12.1) M, reflecting monetization progress and operational efficiencies achieved across our multi-service platform.Gross Profit Margin Turnaround and Increased Cost Efficiency: Revenue growth and disciplined operational efficiency initiatives drove a 29% decline in cost of revenues YoY, fueling a $26.9M increase in gross profit and a remarkable 7,661 basis point swing in gross profit margin from (15)% to 61%, representing a transformational year-over-year improvement that highlights the strength and scalability of our platform as we continue on a path toward expected sustained platform profitability.Expanded National Footprint and Platform Capabilities: Marti accelerated its nationwide expansion in Türkiye by launching ride-hailing in additional cities and introducing delivery services, while also strengthening operational and technological capabilities to support long-term growth.“2025 was a truly breakthrough year for Marti,” said Oguz Alper Oktem, Founder and CEO. “We more than doubled our revenue, reduced our operating loss by over half, and demonstrated the power of our model as revenue scaled faster than costs at every level. We’re entering 2026 with strong momentum and believe we have a clear, accelerating path toward profitability.”“Marti's ride-hailing service now spans 20 markets across Türkiye, covering cities that represent approximately 80% of the country's GDP — a nationwide footprint built in a single year,” continued Mr. Oktem. “By March 2026, we reached 3.8M all-time unique ride-hailing riders and 490 thousand all-time registered ride-hailing drivers, surpassing our own targets. We’re raising the bar again to target 4.3M riders and 530 thousand registered drivers by mid-2026 — reflecting strong demand on the ground and our expanding reach beyond Istanbul and into high-growth regional markets."Mr. Oktem continued, “In 2025, Marti further evolved into a true multi-service platform with the launch of our same-hour delivery service. Built on our existing infrastructure and driver network, we believe this expansion will unlock meaningful additional growth opportunities well beyond ride-hailing."“Our monetization engine is working,” continued Mr. Oktem. “Gross profit margin improved from negative 15% to over 61% in a single year, reflecting our efficiency gains as we scale. In 2026, our priorities are clear: develop cross-service synergies, achieve positive Adjusted EBITDA, and maintain continued operating leverage. We believe the path to sustainable profitability is not just visible – it’s rapidly coming into focus.”Financial Highlights for Full Year 2025RevenueRevenue of $39.2M in FY’25, up 110.3% YoY, exceeding FY’25 guidance of $34.0M by $5.2M, driven by successful platform monetization through subscription packages launched in October 2024.We are on track to achieve our FY’26 revenue guidance of $70.0M, reflecting a 78.4% YoY increase.Gross ProfitGross profit turned positive in FY’25 to $24.0M, compared to $(2.9) M in FY’24, driven by revenue growth from platform monetization, operational efficiencies across our multi-service platform, and AI-enabled cost reduction initiatives implemented during 2025.Gross profit margin improved to 61.1% in FY’25 from (15.5)% in FY’24, reflecting strong platform monetization and operational efficiencies.Adjusted EBITDAAdjusted EBITDA of $(12.1) M in FY’25, 37.2% higher compared to FY’24, exceeding FY’25 guidance of $(17.0) M by $4.9M, driven by successful platform monetization, operational efficiencies achieved across our multi-service platform, and AI-enabled cost reduction initiatives implemented during 2025.We are on track to deliver on our FY’26 Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $1.0M, which would be our first year of positive Adjusted EBITDA and would represent a $13.1M YoY improvement.Consolidated Financial and Operational Highlights in 202520242025∆Trips (in millions)31.7150.8460.3%Unique Platform Consumers (in millions)2.133.0844.3%Trips per Unique Platform Consumer14.916.511.1% All-time Unique Ride-hailing Riders (in thousands)1,6633,384103.5%All-time Registered Ride-hailing Drivers (in thousands)26245071.7% Average Daily Two-wheeled Electric Vehicles Deployed32,59723,172(28.9)%Revenue (USD, thousands)18,66039,241110.3%Cost of Revenues (USD, thousands)(21,549)(15,253)(29.2)%% of Revenue115%39% G&A(1) (USD, thousands)(49,249)(28,051)(43.0)%% of Revenue264%71% Net Loss(2) (USD, thousands)(73,881)(41,446)(43.9)%Gross Profit(3) (USD, thousands)(2,889)23,988n.m.(4) Gross Profit Margin %(5)(15)%61% Adj.

Operational HighlightsTotal rides across ride-hailing, delivery, and two-wheeled electric vehicle services reached 50.84M, an increase of 19.13M, or 60.3%, compared to 31.71M in FY’24.Total unique platform consumers grew to 3.08M, an increase of 0.94M, or 44.3%, driven primarily by rising ride-hailing adoption.Trips per unique platform consumer increased to 16.5 from 14.9 in FY’25, reflecting improved platform level efficiency, expanded service availability, and a growing public awareness of Marti’s offerings.Following strong growth in Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, and Antalya, Marti expanded into 16 additional cities and now operates in 20 markets across Türkiye covering cities representing approximately 80% of national GDP. Our expanded footprint creates greater geographic diversification and reinforces our nationwide growth trajectory.All-time unique ride-hailing riders reached 3.38M in FY’25, exceeding our target of 3.30M and increasing 103.5% compared to FY’24. We outperformed our quarterly rider targets throughout FY’25.All-time registered ride-hailing drivers grew to 450 thousand, up 71.7% year-over-year, with 316 thousand drivers located in Istanbul alone compared to 20 thousand taxis serving the city. We outperformed our quarterly registered driver targets throughout FY’25.Istanbul currently records roughly 800 thousand daily taxi trips. Based on New York City benchmarks, ride-hailing could potentially drive a 63% increase in daily trips, implying 3.9M daily ride-hailing trips across Türkiye. With an average gross booking value of $9.20 per trip and a 30% benchmark global take rate, Marti estimates the ride-hailing market represents up to $4B annual revenue potential opportunity.Average daily two-wheeled electric vehicles decreased from 32.6 thousand in FY’24 to 23.2 thousand in FY’25, or 28.9%, as we gradually retired older fleet units introduced in 2021.In October 2025, Marti launched a same-hour delivery pilot in Istanbul, enabling package delivery through the Marti app by leveraging our driver network to increase engagement, improve driver utilization, and support the continued evolution of our multi-service mobility platform.Financial Highlights$15.3M cost of revenues in FY’25, 29.2% lower compared to $21.5M in FY’24. Cost of revenues reduction was driven by operational efficiencies achieved across our multi-service platform and AI-enabled cost reduction initiatives implemented during the year.$28.1M general and administrative expenses in FY’25, 43.0% lower compared to $49.2M in FY’24, driven by decreasing share-based compensation expense of $11.3M in FY’25. In the absence of share-based compensation expense, FY’25 general & administrative expenses were $16.8M.FinancingIn April 2025, the Company entered into a Convertible Note subscription agreement for up to $23.0M of 12.50% Convertible Senior Secured Notes due April 2029, of which $13.0M had been issued as of December 31, 2025.In October 2025, the Company entered into an additional Convertible Note subscription agreement for up to $100.0M of 11.00% Convertible Senior Secured Notes due October 2029, with no amounts drawn as of December 31, 2025.June 30, 2026 All-time Unique Ride-Hailing Rider and Registered Driver TargetsMarti is reaffirming its June 30, 2026 all-time unique ride-hailing rider and registered driver targets, as summarized below:June 30, 2026 Targets(1)All-time Unique Ride-hailing Riders4.3 millionAll-time Registered Ride-hailing Drivers530 thousand(1)The target numbers of unique riders and registered drivers by June 30, 2026 are based on Marti’s current estimates and assumptions and are not a guarantee of future performance. The targets are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the risk factors discussed in the Company's reports on file with the SEC, that could cause actual results to differ materially. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve the results expressed by these targets.Full Year 2026 GuidanceMarti is reaffirming its full year 2026 guidance, as summarized below:2026 Guidance(1)Revenue$70.0MAdjusted EBITDA$1.0M(1)The Company’s 2026 guidance assumes continued growth of our platform services and the absence of any fleet size expansion or replacement investments as vehicles are retired from our two-wheeled electric vehicle fleet.The full year 2026 guidance provided herein is based on Marti’s current estimates and assumptions and is not a guarantee of future performance. The 2026 guidance is subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the risk factors discussed in the Company's reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), that could cause actual results to differ materially. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve the results expressed by this guidance.This press release does not include a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA to forward-looking GAAP Net Income (loss) because Marti is unable, without making unreasonable efforts, to provide a meaningful or reasonably accurate calculation or estimation of certain reconciling items which could be significant to Marti’s results.Conference Call InformationMarti will host a conference call today to discuss its financial and operational results for FY’25. See details below. A supplemental investor deck can be accessed from the Company’s investor relations website (https://ir.marti.tech/) where it will remain available for six months.Date:April 13, 2026Time:3:30 p.m. Istanbul / 1:30 p.m. London / 8:30 a.m. New York TimeDial-in:+1 877-485-3103 / +1 201-689-8890Webcast & Replay & Archive Link:https://event.choruscall.com/mediaframe/webcast.html?webcastid=PQ0M9Tj5Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresCertain ﬁnancial information and data contained herein are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States (“GAAP”) including, but not limited to, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, and certain ratios and other metrics derived therefrom. We define these metrics as follows:Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adding depreciation, amortization, taxes, financial expenses (net of financial income) and one-time charges and non-cash adjustments, to net income (loss). The one-time charges and non-cash adjustments are mainly comprised of customs tax provision expenses resulting from the one-time amendment of customs duties and lawsuit provision expense which Marti did not consider the provision to be reflective of its normal cash operations.Adjusted EBITDA margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.These non-GAAP ﬁnancial measures are not measures of ﬁnancial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are signiﬁcant in understanding and assessing the Company’s ﬁnancial results. Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to revenue, cash ﬂows from operations or other measures of proﬁtability, liquidity or performance under GAAP. You should be aware that the Company’s presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures of ﬁnancial results provide useful information for management and investors regarding certain ﬁnancial and business trends relating to the Company’s ﬁnancial condition and results of operations. The Company believes the use of these non-GAAP ﬁnancial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the Company’s ﬁnancial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP ﬁnancial measures to investors. These non-GAAP ﬁnancial measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reﬂect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP ﬁnancial measures and accordingly, should always be considered as supplemental financial results to those calculated in accordance with GAAP.This ﬁnancial information and data contained herein also includes certain projections of non-GAAP ﬁnancial measures. Due to the high variability and diﬃculty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the information excluded from these projected measures, together with some of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible, the Company is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP ﬁnancial measures without unreasonable effort. Consequently, no disclosure of estimated comparable GAAP measures is included and no reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP ﬁnancial measures is included.About Marti:Founded in 2018, Marti is Türkiye’s leading mobility app, offering a wide variety of transportation services.

Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors. Actual results may differ materially from the expectations expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements as a result of known and unknown risks and uncertainties.These forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Marti and its management, are inherently uncertain and are subject to a number of risks and assumptions. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond Marti’s control, are difficult to predict, and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements.

As a result, the Company’s actual results may differ from its expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, such forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as predictions of future events. The Company cautions not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, including its 2026 guidance and ride-hailing targets, which speaks only as to management expectations and beliefs as of the date they are made.
