Here are the key risks to Marti Technologies:

1. Weak Financial Performance and Path to Profitability: Marti Technologies has historically been in a loss-making phase with negative free cash flow. While the company is actively transitioning towards a monetization phase for its ride-hailing business and forecasts achieving positive adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow in 2025, its ability to consistently reach and maintain profitability remains a significant risk. Analysts also point to weak financial performance (losses, negative free cash flow, and negative equity/leverage risk) as a factor holding down its stock score.
2. Regulatory Uncertainty: The ride-hailing market in Turkey, where Marti Technologies primarily operates, currently lacks a specific regulatory framework. While Marti anticipates that the introduction of regulations could lead to positive outcomes similar to other formalized markets, the absence of clear regulations introduces uncertainty. Future regulatory decisions could significantly impact the company's operating model, pricing strategies, or market access, presenting a material risk.
3. Market Penetration and Competitive Pressures: Despite being a leading mobility app in Turkey, Marti faces ongoing challenges in market penetration and consumer adoption, particularly evident in its two-wheel electric vehicle segment. The company has experienced a decrease in average daily rides per vehicle in this segment due to "reduced consumer purchasing power" and operates in a competitive landscape, requiring continuous investment and adaptation to maintain its market position and grow its user base.

The aggressive expansion of established ride-hailing and delivery giants (such as Bolt and Uber) into the micro-mobility sector within Marti Technologies' key operating regions (MENA and Eastern Europe, including Istanbul). These companies possess vast financial resources, extensive existing user bases, and well-developed technological platforms and logistical networks, enabling them to quickly scale micro-mobility fleets and potentially undercut competitors or offer integrated transportation solutions that Marti, as a specialized micro-mobility provider, may struggle to match.

• Rapid Growth in Ride-Hailing Trips: Marti expects continued rapid growth in the number of ride-hailing trips. The company has consistently exceeded operational targets for unique ride-hailing riders and registered drivers, indicating sustained expansion in its core mobility service. Marti has successfully grown its ride-hailing service, surpassing 2025 year-end targets for riders and drivers and setting new goals for early 2026.
• Increased Monetization through Higher Take Rates and Dynamic Pricing: The company projects revenue growth from increasing its take rates in cities where its ride-hailing service has been monetized. Marti initiated monetization of its ride-hailing services in October 2024 and introduced a dynamic pricing model in January 2025, which is already showing strong momentum.
• Expansion and Monetization of Services in New Cities: Marti has a clear strategy of expanding its ride-hailing services into new cities across Turkey and then monetizing these new markets. The company launched ride-hailing services in six new cities during the first half of 2025, significantly expanding its addressable market, with plans to expand to a total of 20 cities. The introduction of monetization in these newly launched cities is expected to contribute to future revenue.
• Growing Contribution from Delivery Services: Marti's delivery services are anticipated to increase in volume and revenue contribution. The company views the introduction and scaling of delivery services as a key component in leveraging its platform for further growth.
