02 / TURNAROUND & RESTRUCTURING

Financial and Operational Restructuring

It is the process of providing operational and financial stability to companies under stress, in line with international best practices and crisis management methodologies. We apply a structured 6-step holistic model to quickly stop the bleeding, stabilize cash flow, and restore profitability.

Step 2 — Situation Analysis (Diagnosis) (Weeks 2-3)

Objective analysis of the company's financial/operational situation, survival probability, and viable business plan potential.

Step 3 — Implementation of Emergency Action Plan (Weeks 4-6)

Executing immediate expenditure controls to stop the bleeding and stabilizing the 13-week operating cash flow.

Step 4 — Restructuring of Operations (Weeks 7-12)

Selling or shutting down unprofitable departments and revising the product range to make the remaining operations profitable and efficient.

Step 5 — Return to Normalcy (Weeks 13-20)

Shifting focus from cash concerns to increasing profitability, return on equity, and market share growth.

Step 6 — Success and Outcome Evaluation (Ongoing)

Independent measurement of the level of achievement of set targets (cash, profitability, control) and verification of stability.

03 / DEBTOR MANAGEMENT

Financial Restructuring (FYY) Process Management

The process of restructuring your debts before banks and financial institutions in favor of your company under the framework of the Banks Association of Turkey (TBB) and BRSA regulations, without interfering with your company's operational structure, management model, or internal organization.

FYY Application & Acceptance Strategy

Determining the compliance of your company with legal FYY criteria, preparing the application file and required feasibility reports completely in accordance with the regulation.

Independent Business Review (IBR) Preparation

Establishing strong financial models showing your company's real debt repayment power and capacity to generate free cash flow, which will serve as a basis for creditor banks' restructuring decisions.

Creditor Consortium & Negotiation Management

Managing the financial negotiations to be carried out with the lead bank and all creditor financial institutions included in the consortium, in favor of your company in terms of maturity, interest rate, grace periods, and collateral structure.

Financial Contract & Covenant Management

Optimizing financial covenants and debt service coverage ratios in the contracts to be signed in line with the approved FYY model, ensuring they do not squeeze your company's cash flow.

Critical Advantage: Legal Protection & Time Recovery

Upon formal initiation of the FYY process, legal follow-ups and execution proceedings by consortium creditors are suspended/not initiated, giving your company breathing room.

Critical Advantage: Full Operational Independence

No operational interference in your internal commercial decisions, product range, departments, or organization chart; focusing entirely on financial relief for the balance sheet.

04 / REQUIREMENT & DIAGNOSIS

Independent Business Review (IBR)

It is a legal requirement for companies applying to the FYY scheme before the Banks Association of Turkey (TBB) to obtain an IBR report in order to prepare a sustainable debt repayment plan and reach an agreement with the creditor banks consortium.

Axvera Professional Difference

Our processes are not delegated to junior analysts but conducted under the direct leadership of senior partners possessing BRSA audit, legal regulation framework, and executive banking management experience, governed by high ethical principles and absolute confidentiality.

BRSA Regulation and Operational Perspective Clause

Pursuant to the BRSA Financial Restructuring Regulation, it is essential that restructuring processes do not only consist of postponing maturities but also feature concrete operational improvements and action plans to make company operations sustainable. Within this scope, operational analyses serving as bases for financial models form an intrinsic part of the report.

Axvera Operational + Financial Methodology

We integrate financial modeling with operational action plans. Including operational improvements such as bottleneck analysis, product profitability, and idle capacity detection into the IBR report ensures the highest acceptance rate before banks.

05 / CREDITOR MANAGEMENT

Restructuring Monitoring & Follow-up

We monitor, track, and report post-restructuring processes end-to-end to minimize risks in creditors' restructured receivables portfolios and maximize collection performance. Auditing debtors' compliance with new payment schedules and contract terms under an independent eye creates a secure risk management mechanism for banks and financial institutions.

Axvera Professional Difference

Objective Audit: Independent bridge-building. NPL Risk Reduction: Preventing default through early warning signals. High Collection: Dynamic follow-up ensuring execution of restructuring plans.

We periodically analyze debtor companies' activities, revenue-expenditure balance, and cash flows; and track updates in repayment capacity instantly.

Contract & Covenant Audit

We strictly audit the performance of financial ratios, asset sale commitments, and specific covenants embedded in restructuring agreements.

Early Warning & Risk Management

Detecting potential deterioration and repayment default risks in the debtor's financial standing early provides a chance to intervene before delays trigger legal enforcement.

Regulatory-Compliant Independent Reporting

Providing transparent, actionable progress reports fully compliant with BRSA and TBB Financial Restructuring (FYY) frameworks, as well as IFRS standards, to the creditor consortium.
