allowed us to sell processed data rather than raw data, we enriched our
value proposition to our customers. We have transformed Turkcell into a
Digital Operator. That is our vision. Our strategy is to serve our
customers as much as we can in each of 1440 minutes of a day through our
digital services. This vision and strategy brought us where we are
today, 59% topline and 97% EBITDA growth in the third quarter of 2018 in
a two year cumulative basis. We also take our digital know-how and make
it available to other telecom operators around the world through our
Lifecell Ventures subsidiary.”

Turkcell has a 5G ready network, and the company and Turkey will be the
early adapters of 5G. Terzioglu also addressed the macro-economic
environment, referred to Turkcell’s successful business hedging strategy
based on FX hedging tools, strong liquidity and inflationary pricing
