2020 Annual Report

It has been a challenging year with

extraordinary developments for our country as

well as for the entire world.

While the Covid-19 pandemic has turned into a

human tragedy, it has also affected global and

national economies seriously.

The pandemic has costed the lives of millions

of people, while it has changed our lifestyles

and the ways we do business. In this difficult

year, we have managed to maintain our strong

financial structure and increase our revenues,

with the great commitment and outstanding

efforts of our employees. Thanks to our financial

discipline, we closed this year with growth.

Since the first day of the outbreak of pandemic

in Turkey, we have taken measures to protect all

our employees against pandemic and regularly

monitored their health with the understanding

of "human health first". In the light of all these

measures, we have made great efforts to

continue our operations uninterruptedly.

Another development that I am proud of is the

responsibility that Bilkent Holding has assumed

in the fight against Covid-19. The company

named Felisya Biomedical was incorporated

within Bilkent Holding for the Covid-19 rapid

diagnosis kit "Diagnovir", which was developed

using the infrastructure of the National

Nanotechnology Research Center (UNAM) of

Bilkent University. Developed with domestic and

national resources, this device will significantly

reduce the spread of the virus and Diagnovir

will be of great benefit in returning to social life.

While the Turkish economy grew by 4.5% in

the first quarter of 2020, it experienced a

significant contraction by 9.9% in the second

quarter due to the restrictions caused by the

pandemic. With the normalization process in

the third quarter, domestic demand started to

increase and an annual growth of 6.7% was

realized. In total, 0.5% growth was recorded in 9

months of 2020.

The effectiveness of the vaccination process,

which will affect the course of the pandemic,

and the impact of the correct and decisive steps

we will take in this process will decide on what

kind of year 2021 will be. We have observed

that the economic problems that emerged

during this period has triggered significant

changes in many areas. We have responded

to such change very quickly, together with our

companies which have broken new grounds

and set the standards in their respective field of

activity since the day they were incorporated,

as well as our valuable employees. We have

taken and will continue to take the necessary

actions by reviewing our investment and

production strategies and the ways we do

business accordingly.

We will continue to work with all our efforts

to offer scholarships for more students and

educate students who can open new horizons

for our country in line with our founder Prof.

Dr. İhsan Doğramacı's motto of "Further, to

the best...". Accordingly, I am pleased that

we have successfully closed this year which

was challenging for the whole world and our

country, and I express my sincere thanks to

all our employees, customers, suppliers and

stakeholders for their efforts.

CEO’s

Message

Bilkent Holding has

demonstrated its strong

capital structure by

increasing its total assets

to TL 4.98 billion by the

end of 2020.

Ali Haydar

KURTDARCAN

Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

23


2020 Annual Report

The year 2020 brought great changes

for the whole world and our country. In

this period, which was deeply influenced

by the pandemic, we have felt its

economic consequences seriously in

Turkey and in the world.

The main feature of the economic crisis

caused by Covid-19 which distinguishes

it from other global economic crises is

that it emerged as a significant and

unexpected negative shock on both sides

of economic activity, namely supply and

demand.

Despite all the extraordinary challenges

caused by the pandemic, Bilkent Holding

has achieved the financial targets

it has set for 2020. Bilkent Holding's

consolidated sales, which were TL 2.9

billion in 2019, were maintained at TL

3.011 billion in 2020. As a result of our

increased operational profitability

in 2020, our consolidated EBITDA

increased by 65% year-on-year,

reaching TL 659 million. And our

consolidated assets increased by 9%,

exceeding TL 4.9 billion.

In 2020, when we struggled with

many changes and challenges, we, as

Bilkent Holding, continue our activities

efficiently thanks to our prudent and

effective financial management as well

as outstanding efforts of our employees.

The most important factor of our

achievements to date is undoubtedly

our strong human resources. As Bilkent

Holding and its group companies,

the number of our employees has not

decreased during this difficult period,

and as of the end of 2020, the number of

employees is 26,379. Tepe Defense, Tepe

Service and BCC Catering continue to

lead our workforce.

Tepe Service moved up to 385th place

in the Fortune 500, ranking 54th

among Ankara-based companies. In

addition, it ranked 39th in the number

of employees and 44th among the

companies that increased their sales

the most. With a female employee ratio

of 61%, Tepe Service ranked 23rd with

5,020 female employees in the "Female

Employee Friendly" category and

56th with 74 female managers in the

"Female Manager Friendly" category

among the top 100 companies in Capital

Magazine's ranking of "Women Friendly

Companies".

Moreover, Tepe Service obtained the

V-SAFE Secure Service Certificate as

part of the service competency of the

company during the Covid-19 outbreak.

And BCC Catering obtained the Covid-19

Safe Production Certificate.

Another development we are proud of is

the establishment of Felisya Biomedical

with the purpose of providing benefit

for public health and developing new

technologies and products in the field of

health technologies.

We pay importance to digital

transformation projects that will

determine our way of doing business

in the future. Accordingly, the

Information Technologies and Digital

Transformation Coordination Office

was established within the holding,

and we continue to invest in innovation

in all our companies. Almost all of the

holding and group companies have

adopted the same ERP system and we

have achieved the target of effective

management of business processes. The

modular furniture collection specially

produced by Tepe Home was launched,

the mobile application was introduced

and JivoChat application was provided

on the e-commerce site as the live

support provider.

Bilkent CYBERPARK, one of Turkey's

largest technoparks, became the

Champions of Turkey for the second

time by winning the "National

Winner" award during the European

Entrepreneurship Encouragement

Awards (EEPA) organized by the

European Commission.

Tourism is one of the most affected

sectors during the pandemic. Prioritizing

the importance it attaches to its

customers above all else, Bilkent Hotel

became the first hotel in Ankara to

receive the "Safe Tourism Certificate".

Tepe Prefabricated Construction

performed the manufacturing and

installation of the 26,134 m2 section of

Turkey's first pandemic hospital, built

by the Ministry of Health in Yeşilköy,

İstanbul, in a very short time like 45

days.

Tepe Construction, one of the leading

construction companies in Turkey

with its experience of more than 50

years, managed to enter the ENR

Contractors list in 2020, moving up 5

ranks compared to the previous year

and ranking in the 179th place. Tepe

Construction started the construction of

"Park Mozaik Su", the third phase of the

Park Mozaik project, which made a great

impression with its architectural style

and innovative design.

Developing high technology products

for the defense and security of Turkey,

Meteksan Defence signed the contract

for the Retinar FARAD Drone Detection

Radar and delivered it with great

success in the same year. A design and

consultancy contract was signed for

the second Wound Defense Training

Simulator in the Republic of Korea.

Meteksan Defence held the press release

of Turkey's First Armed Unmanned

Sea Vehicle, ULAQ, as a result of its

cooperation with ARES Shipyard.

Bilkent Center, which is managed by

Tepe Real Estate Investment, became

the first shopping mall to receive the

Zero Waste Certificate by establishing

the Zero Waste Management System.

Then, Tepe Nautilus received the Zero

Waste Certificate with the Zero Waste

Management System it established.

Tepe Betopan, one of the leading

companies in the construction materials

industry, became one of the 4 Turkish

partners in the Iceberg Project, which is

a part of the EU Horizon 2020, one of the

world's largest civil research programs.

I would like to express my gratitude to

especially our founder Prof. Dr. İhsan

Doğramacı as well as all our employees

and stakeholders, who have contributed

to Bilkent Holding's success until today.

With my best wishes to reach healthy

and happy tomorrows together...

with a special solution and then dripped onto the pathogen detection chip, and if there is a pathogen

in the area, the fluorescent signal is detected with high accuracy by the biosensor device. It is based

on the detection of the presence or absence of the virus by optical methods. The "multidisciplinary"

system, which includes the disciplines of physics, biophysics, optics, nanotechnology, molecular biology

and genetics, developed by academicians, will be available in less than 1 minute, with a high accuracy

rate, at a very affordable price compared to its equivalents in the market. The device, whose clinical

studies were completed at Ankara University and gave 99% accurate results, has been approved by

the Ministry of Health with CE and ISO certificates. With production line and clean room laboratory put

into operation in the Bilkent campus, Felisya Biomedical plans to produce 10 thousand kits per day in

Eve Sığar" application, which was made

mandatory by the Ministry of Health during

the pandemic, enabling passengers to

travel safely. HES codes have been inquired

during the ticket purchase and risky

passengers have been prohibited to travel.

A more user-friendly structure was used

in mobile interfaces with a minimalist and

target-oriented approach.

In order to increase the number of

members of the loyalty program, necessary

revisions were made to ensure that the

processes with membership through web,

mobile, ticket office and call center channels

are made faster and more user-friendly,

allowing passengers to benefit from the

campaigns.

LOYALTY PROGRAM

As part of the loyalty program, there

are ongoing activities to improve the

travel experience of the subscribers and

enable them to use the idoPara they

earn more easily, with the possibility of

partial payment for ticket purchases with

idoPara, the use of idoPara at contracted

points, and monthly bulk purchases in the

form of subscriptions for those who travel

constantly and regularly.

In order to increase the authorized

passenger data, the necessary systematic

works were completed to obtain the

communication permits of the passengers

in the ticket purchases.

As a result of these activities, the member

data has increased from 110,000 to

195,000, and the data with communication

permission has reached 314,000 from

80,000.

CORPORATE COLLABORATIONS

Cross-campaigns were organized by

collaborating with online marketplaces

such as Gittigidiyor, D&R, İstegelsin and

Strategies for Efficient Use of

Natural Resources

Bilkent Holding operates in today's

sensitive sectors on human and

environmental elements such as

construction and industry. Operating

with this awareness, the Holding

primarily observes occupational safety,

environment and quality policies in all its

activities in order to ensure its corporate

ACTIVITIES FOR ZERO WASTE

With the new regulation that entered

into force in line with the changes made

in the environmental legislation in the

late 2018 as part of the "Zero Waste"

project of the Ministry of Environment

and Urbanization, the responsibility of

establishing a "Zero Waste Management

System" has been introduced gradually

for the institutions and organizations

determined throughout the country. Zero

waste is a target that includes more

efficient use of resources, preventing

or minimizing waste generation by

reviewing the causes of waste generation,

and collecting and recycling waste

separately at the source if it occurs.

Disposing of wastes without being

evaluated in the recycling and recovery

process results in serious resource

losses in terms of both material and

energy. In recent years, individual and

institutional zero waste implementation

activities have become popular all over

the world. Natural resources support the

functioning of the global economy and

the quality of life. These resources include

raw materials such as fuels, minerals

and metals as well as food, soil, water,

air, biomass and ecosystems. A wellfunctioning

economy depends on the

uninterrupted flow of natural resources

and raw materials.

Sustainable and efficient management

of resources is an inevitable necessity

today. For this purpose, Bilkent Holding

has introduced the zero waste project in

all its companies in 2020 and supported

its groups companies, mainly Bilkent

CYBERPARK, Bilkent Energy Plant,

Meteksan Printing, Bilkent Hotel &

Conference Center and Bilkent Center

AVM, to receive the Basic Level Zero

Waste Certificate.

Bilkent Holding will continue its activities

for the Zero Waste Certificate by including

the group companies serving in the field

of industry in the system in 2021 as part

of the zero waste project. Bilkent Holding

has started to work on a new project to

control the waste by digitally measuring

it with an innovative approach for

the minimization of waste. With this

approach, the Holding aims to make an

accurate and effective inventory of waste

by coding the wastes in its companies

with smart container systems, and as a

result, to reduce waste.

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND

SAFETY POLICY

Bilkent Holding aims to provide a

safe working environment for all its

stakeholders with the vision of making its

companies a global brand by performing

the best in all the sectors in which it

operates. Accordingly, Bilkent Holding has

adopted the following principles:

• To comply with the current occupational

health and safety legal legislation as

well as the standards stipulated by the

organizations of which it is a member,

• To take precautions against and to

be prepared for possible dangers that

may affect the environment and human

health,

• To raise awareness of its employees by

providing training on occupational health

and safety,

• To measure the performance of

occupational health and safety

management and perform necessary

works to improve performance.

In line with these principles, Bilkent

Holding is committed to continuing its

efforts to become a leading organization

in terms of occupational health and

safety by managing its activities together

with Quality and Environmental

Management Systems.
