Turkish steel producer Erdemir reported strong financial and operational results for the first half of 2026. The company's net profit rose significantly to $201 million, up from $46 million during the same period the previous year. Sales revenue increased by 10.4% year-over-year, reaching $2.801 billion.
Operationally, Erdemir maintained an EBITDA margin of approximately 10% and achieved a crude steel capacity utilization rate of 95%. The company produced 4.3 million tons of steel and sold 4.2 million tons, with direct exports representing 14.2% of total sales.
