Insights

Hepsiburada's subsidiary Hepsifinans has completed its third bond issuance of TRY 100 million with a six-month maturity and 43% annual interest rate. This transaction is part of a broader program approved in September 2024 that allows for bond issuances up to TRY 1.05 billion within a one-year period.

The 43% interest rate is particularly noteworthy, reflecting Turkey's challenging macroeconomic conditions and high inflation environment. Despite these costly borrowing terms, management's willingness to take on this debt signals confidence in the consumer finance segment's ability to generate returns exceeding this high capital cost threshold.

This strategic move demonstrates Hepsiburada's commitment to vertical integration by strengthening its consumer finance arm, which creates a dual advantage: potentially increasing purchasing power on its e-commerce platform while generating a complementary revenue stream through interest income. The short six-month maturity structure provides flexibility while limiting long-term interest rate exposure.

The measured approach to capital raising—utilizing only a portion of the approved program rather than the full amount at once—suggests prudent financial management and a staged growth strategy for the consumer finance business. For the e-commerce ecosystem, expanding financing options typically leads to higher average order values, improved conversion rates, and enhanced customer retention.

The bonds have an aggregate principal amount of TRY 100 million with a six-month maturity. The bonds will accrue interest at a rate of 43.00% per annum.
