Yandex N.V. was incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands in June 2004 and is the holding company of Yandex LLC, incorporated in the Russian Federation in October 2000, and other subsidiaries.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. As such, the information included in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included, and the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to ensure the information is not misleading.

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies and estimates as compared to those described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020, except for an update of accounting policy in relation to the new music content obtained in 2021.

In 2021 the Company obtained the music content for customers through licensing agreement with fixed payment schedules. The Company recognizes an intangible asset within other current assets and non-current content assets lines of the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet depending on the initial maturity of the licenses and a corresponding liability for the amounts owed. The Company amortizes these content assets in the cost of revenues line on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations based on the estimated number of paying subscribers. Payments for these content assets, including additions to assets and the changes in related liabilities, are classified within net cash from operating activities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

The results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or any other future period. Additionally, there are many uncertainties regarding the ongoing coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, and the Company is closely monitoring the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of its business, including how it has impacted and may continue to impact its customers, employees, suppliers, vendors, and other business partners.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities, that are believed to be reasonable. These estimates are inherently subject to judgment and actual results could differ from those estimates.

Convenience Translation

Translations of amounts from RUB into U.S. dollars for the convenience of the reader have been made at the exchange rate of RUB 75.7023 to $1.00, the prevailing exchange rate as of March 31, 2021 (except as otherwise stated). No representation is made that the RUB amounts could have been, or could be, converted into U.S. dollars at such rate.

Revision of Previously Issued Financial Statements

In the first quarter of 2021 the Company corrected the Dutch VAT returns of Yandex N.V. for periods beginning in 2016 through the fourth quarter of 2020. The Company revised previously issued consolidated financial statements for the periods impacted. Refer to Note 16 for additional information.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (Topic 740). ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions for performing intraperiod tax allocations, recognizing deferred taxes for investments, and calculating income taxes in interim periods. The guidance also simplifies the accounting for franchise taxes, transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill, and the effect of enacted changes in tax laws or rates in interim periods. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2021, without significant impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, “Investments-Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Clarifying the Interactions between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815,” which clarifies the interaction of the accounting for equity investments under Topic 321 and investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting in Topic 323 and the accounting for certain forward contracts and purchased options accounted for under Topic 815. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2021, without significant impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

2. NET INCOME/(LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic net income/(loss) per Class A and Class B ordinary share for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2021 is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding using the two class method. Basic net income/(loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, including restricted shares. Diluted net income/(loss) per ordinary share is computed using the effect of the outstanding Share-Based Awards calculated using the “treasury stock” method.

The computation of the diluted net income/(loss) per Class A share assumes the conversion of Class B shares, while the diluted net income/(loss) per Class B share does not assume the conversion of those shares. The net income/(loss) per share amounts are the same for Class A and Class B shares because the holders of each class are legally entitled to equal per share distributions whether through dividends or in liquidation. The number of Share-Based Awards excluded from the diluted net income/(loss) per ordinary share computation, because their effect was anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2021, was 2,074,337 and 13,735,881, respectively.

The convertible notes due 2025 provide for a flexible settlement feature. The Company intends to settle upon conversion the principal amount of the debt for cash. The convertible debt is included in the calculation of diluted net income per share if its inclusion is dilutive under the treasury stock method. The convertible debt was anti-dilutive in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2021.

3. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Acquisition of Axelcroft Group

On February 2, 2021, MLU B.V., a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a share purchase agreement (“SPA”) with Fasten CY Limited (together referred to as “parties”) and completed the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Axelcroft Limited and its subsidiaries (“Axelcroft Group”), representing certain components of the ride-hailing and cargo business of Vezet Group. The transaction will allow the Company to strengthen its position and enhance customer care across Russian regions. The Company expects to achieve synergies and cost reductions resulting from increased operating efficiency due to an improved balance of supply and demand in Russian regions. The Company applied the acquisition method to account for the transaction according to US GAAP requirements.

The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration payable amounted to RUB 12,916 ($170.6), including RUB 7,300 ($96.4) paid in cash at the acquisition date in U.S. dollars ($96.7 at the exchange rate as of acquisition date), and a holdback amount and contingent consideration of up to RUB 5,616 ($74.2) subject to successful achievement of certain integration milestones and other purchase price adjustments.

The holdback amount will be retained pending satisfaction of certain post-closing conditions, and is to be settled with a maximum payment of RUB 1,282 ($16.9) (undiscounted) within 3 years of the acquisition date.

The contingent consideration consists of up to $61.3 (undiscounted) (RUB 4,625 (undiscounted) at the exchange rate as of acquisition date) payable to Fasten CY Limited, depending on Axelcroft Group meeting defined integration performance targets. The integration consideration is payable in June 2021 upon completion of the integration. The fair value of contingent consideration at the acquisition date was estimated at RUB 4,557 ($60.2). The Company estimated the fair value of the integration consideration based on the probability-adjusted present value of consideration expected to be transferred using significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined by ASC 820. Key assumptions used in these estimates include discount rates and probability assessments with respect to the likelihood of achieving the performance targets given the integration mechanism and the tools available under SPA to the parties to achieve integration milestones. As of March 31, 2021, there were no significant changes in the range of outcomes for the contingent consideration recognized as a result of the acquisition.

The impact of the contingent consideration obligations on the operating results of the Company can vary over time as the Company may revise its outlook regarding the likelihood of achieving the performance targets underlying the arrangements. This impact on operating results may be significant, depending on a number of factors, including the magnitude of the change in the outlook for each individual performance target.

Set out below is the condensed balance sheet of Axelcroft Group as of February 2, 2021, reflecting the preliminary allocation of the purchase price. The Company is in the process of obtaining third-party valuations of certain

The purchase price allocation is expected to be completed within 12 months after the acquisition date.

Of the RUB 1,774 ($23.4) allocated to intangible assets, RUB 1,024 ($13.5) and RUB 292 ($3.9) relates to the acquired customer relationships and trademarks of Vezet Group, included in the customer relationships and trade names and domain names categories (Note 9), respectively, which will be amortized over a period of 10 years; and RUB 258 ($3.4) represents driver relationships, included in the customer relationships category (Note 9), that will be amortized over a period of 2 years. RUB 200 ($2.6) was assigned to IT software and technology, included in the content and software category (Note 9), which are mainly represented by driver’s and client’s mobile applications that were discontinued at the end of the technical integration period, i.e. April 2, 2021, and therefore were fully amortized as of 31 March 2021. The Company used the income approach for the estimation of the fair value of customer relationships and trademarks, and the cost approach for IT software and technology and driver relationships. The most significant quantitative inputs used for the valuation of client relationships and trademarks were future revenue growth rates, projected adjusted profitability margins and user retention rates. The most significant quantitative input used for the valuation of IT software technology was time in man-hours required to reconstruct the software applications. The most significant quantitative input used for the valuation of driver relationships was driver acquisition costs. These inputs are not observable in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement as defined by ASC 820.

Goodwill recognized in the amount of RUB 12,250 ($161.8) is attributable primarily to the expected synergies described above and was assigned to the Taxi reportable segment. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The Company recognized separately from the acquisition RUB 363 ($4.8) of acquisition related costs that were expensed in the current period. These costs were recorded in sales, general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The revenue and earnings of Axelcroft Group for the period prior to acquisition would not have had a material impact on the Company’s revenue and earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. Accordingly, no pro forma financial information is presented.

Investments in non-current marketable equity securities consisted of the investments in several publicly traded special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs). The Company measured those investments at fair value with the changes recognized in earnings within the Other income, net line in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Non-marketable equity securities are investments in privately held technology companies and venture capital funds without readily determinable market values. There were no changes in the percentage share in the non-marketable equity holdings in the three months ended March 31, 2021.

All gains and losses, realized and unrealized, and impairments on marketable and non-marketable equity securities are recognized within the Other income, net line in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Gains and losses related to the equity securities other than those accounted for under the equity method for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2021 are summarized below:

Reclassifications Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

There were no reclassifications of losses out of accumulated other comprehensive income in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2021.

5. DERIVATIVE AND NON-DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company does not enter into derivative arrangements for trading or speculative purposes. However, some of the Company’s contracts have embedded derivatives that are bifurcated and accounted for separately from the host agreements. Also the Company uses derivative financial instruments to protect the Company from the risk that the future U.S. dollar-denominated cash flows related to the purchases of its servers and network equipment will be adversely affected by changes in the exchange rates.

The Company recognizes such derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at fair value and records changes in the fair value of the derivatives in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations as other (loss)/income, net.

The Company recognized RUB 43 mln ($0.6) of derivative assets as of March 31, 2021 in the consolidated balance sheets. No derivatives were recognized as of December 31, 2020.

The effect of derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments on income for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2021 amounted to a loss of RUB 1,451 and nil, respectively.

10. INCOME TAX

Income taxes are computed in accordance with Russian Federation, Dutch and other national tax laws. The taxable income of Yandex LLC is subject to federal and local income tax at a combined nominal rate of 20% for the years ending December 31, 2020 and 2021. Yandex N.V. is incorporated in the Netherlands, and its taxable profits are subject to income tax at the rate of 25% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2021.

The Company recorded income tax expense of RUB 3,690 and RUB 3,795 ($50.1) for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively.

The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2021 differed from the Dutch statutory income tax rate, primarily due to the recognition effects of deferred tax asset valuation allowances, non-deductible share-based compensation expense, difference in foreign tax rates of the Company’s major operating subsidiaries, certain tax provisions recognized and certain losses from equity-method investments, which are non-deductible.

As of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, the Company included accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, totaling RUB 157 and RUB 499 ($6.6), respectively, as a component of other accrued liabilities, non-current.

As of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, RUB 427 and RUB 1,204 ($15.9), respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate. The Company does not anticipate significant increases or decreases in unrecognized income tax benefits over the next twelve months.

The Company’s actual Russian taxes may be in excess of the estimated amount expensed to date and accrued as of March 31, 2021, due to ambiguities in, and the evolution of Russian tax legislation, varying approaches by regional and local tax inspectors, and inconsistent rulings on technical matters at the judicial level.

In addition, significant management judgment is required in determining whether deferred tax assets will be realized. A valuation allowance is recognized to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts that are more likely than not to ultimately be utilized based on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient future taxable income. Establishing or reducing a tax valuation allowance requires the Company to make assessments about the timing of future events, including the probability of expected future taxable income and available tax planning strategies. If actual events differ from management’s estimates, or to the extent that these estimates are adjusted in the future, any changes in the valuation allowance could materially impact the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is a party to various legal proceedings, and subject to claims, certain of which relate to copyright infringement, as well as to the alleged breach of certain contractual arrangements. The Company intends to vigorously defend any lawsuit and believes that the ultimate outcome of any pending litigation, other legal proceedings or other matters will have no material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.

As of December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, the Company recorded corresponding liabilities of RUB 39 and RUB 23 ($0.3) respectively, in accounts payable and accrued liabilities line on the consolidated balance sheets for all of its legal matters that were probable and reasonably estimable.

F-20


YANDEX N.V.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(In millions of Russian rubles and U.S. dollars)

As of March 31, 2021, the Company was subject to various legal and regulatory matters that have arisen in the normal course of business. Related claims amounted to RUB 2,868 ($37.9) and include, among others, employment related claims, data and privacy matters, claims for compensation in connection with car accidents in the Taxi segment, claims for termination of contracts, copyright infringement claims and other matters. Regulatory matters amounted to RUB 4,377 ($57.8) and include administrative proceedings in the competition authority. The Company has not recognized a liability in respect of those claims and administrative proceedings because the management does not believe that the Company has incurred a probable material loss by reason of any of those matters.

Environment and Current Economic Situation

The Company’s operations are primarily located in the Russian Federation. Consequently, the Company is exposed to the economic and financial markets of the Russian Federation which display characteristics of an emerging market. The legal, tax and regulatory frameworks continue to develop and are subject to interpretation and frequent changes.

Taxes are subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities authorized by law to impose fines and penalties. Although the Company believes it has provided adequately for all tax liabilities based on its understanding of the tax legislation, the above factors may create tax risks for the Company. Approximately RUB 1,204 ($15.9) of unrecognized tax benefits have been recorded as liabilities, and the Company is uncertain as to if or when such amounts may be settled. Related to unrecognized tax benefits, the Company has also recorded a liability for potential penalties of RUB 342 ($4.5) and interest of RUB 156 ($2.1). As of March 31, 2021, except for the income tax contingencies described above, the Company accrued RUB 1,489 ($19.7) for contingencies related to non-income taxes, including penalties and interest. Additionally, the Company has identified possible contingencies related to non-income taxes, which are not accrued. Such possible non-income tax contingencies could materialize and require the Company to pay additional amounts of tax. As of March 31, 2021, the Company estimates such contingencies related to non-income taxes, including penalties and interest, to be up to approximately RUB 20,896 ($276.0).

Business, economic and other risk factors may make the Company's estimates or concentrations vulnerable to significant changes in the short term. The Company's evaluation of the effect that such risk factors may have on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements has not changed significantly since December 31, 2020.

Business Unit Equity Awards

The Company finalized the process of restructuring certain of the business units into separate legal structures in its E-commerce, Taxi, Classifieds operating segments in 2016 and its Media Services segment in 2018 (together, the “Participating Subsidiaries”). In connection with this restructuring, and to align the incentives of the relevant employees with the operations of the Participating Subsidiaries, the Company granted 4.7 million equity incentive awards under the 2016 Plan to the senior employees of these business units in total in 2015-2021 and for the three months ended March 31, 2021, which entitle the participants to receive options to acquire redeemable depositary receipts of shares in the respective operating subsidiaries upon the satisfaction of defined vesting criteria (the “Business Unit Equity Awards”), of which 2.4 million remain outstanding as of March 31, 2021. The exercise price of the Business Unit Equity Awards is determined from time to time by the Board and the standard vesting schedule for Business Unit Equity Awards under the 2016 Plan is consistent with Share-Based Awards granted in the Company’s shares. Business Unit Equity Awards and any awards granted to management of the Participating Subsidiaries outside of the 2016 Plan are not to exceed 20% of such Participating Subsidiary’s shares issued and outstanding from time to time.

Self-Driving Group 2021 Equity Incentive Plan

Yandex Self-Driving Group B.V., a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company (“SDG”), adopted the SDG 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “SDG Plan”) on February 11, 2021. Under the SDG Plan, SDG may grant equity-based awards, including restricted share unit awards, in respect of SDG. RSUs awarded under the SDG Plan entitle the holder to receive a fixed number of depositary receipts (“DRs”) representing Class A shares in SDG at no cost upon the satisfaction of certain time-based vesting criteria. The Company has an obligation to purchase vested DRs from participants under the circumstances set out in the SDG Plan. On February 11, 2021, the Supervisory Board of SDG approved the grant of an aggregate of 2,132,749 SDG RSUs, representing a total of approximately 6.3% of the equity of Self-Driving Group on a fully diluted basis.

Synthetic Options Equity Incentive Plans

The Company also grants share-based awards to the employees of several business units, comprised of a synthetic option award in respect of the relevant business unit (“Synthetic Options”) and a linked RSU award. Synthetic Options entitle the participants to receive phantom or synthetic “shares” in the relevant business unit, which represent the participant’s right to an amount (the “Payout Amount”) based on the appreciation in value of the synthetic “shares” from the grant date to the vesting or exercise date. Such Payout Amounts are satisfied by the vesting of the linked RSU award, which are ultimately settled in the Company’s Class A shares. The Company estimates the fair value of Synthetic Options using the Monte-Carlo pricing model.

15. INFORMATION ABOUT SEGMENTS, REVENUES & GEOGRAPHIC AREAS

The Company determined its operating segments based on how the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) manages the business, allocate resources, makes operating decisions and evaluates operating performance. The Company determined the following operating and reportable segments: Search and Portal, Taxi, Yandex.Market, Classifieds and Media Services. The results of the Company’s remaining operating segments, including self-driving vehicles business (“Yandex SDG”), Zen, Yandex.Cloud, Yandex.Education, Devices, Edadeal, FinTech and Yandex.Uslugi (“Services”),

that do not meet the quantitative or the qualitative thresholds for disclosure, are combined into the other category defined as Other Business Units and Initiatives which is shown separately from the reportable segments and reconciling items.

Starting 2021, the Company introduced the following changes to its segments under which the Company reported quarterly financial results previously, in order to better reflect operational performance of businesses:

The Company transferred Devices from Search and Portal to the Other Business Units and Initiatives segment;
The Company transferred Geo from the Other Business Units and Initiatives segment to Search and Portal;
The Company transferred Yandex.Uslugi (“Services”) from Search and Portal to the Other Business Units and Initiatives segment;

These changes are applied retroactively to all periods presented.

Reportable segments derive revenues from the following services:

Search and Portal, which includes Search, Geo, Mail 360, Weather, News, Travel, Alice voice assistant and a number of other services offered in Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan;
The Taxi segment includes the Ride-hailing business (which consists of Yandex.Taxi in Russia and 16 other countries across CIS and EMEA, and Uber in Russia and CIS) for both B2C and B2B, Logistics, FoodTech businesses (including Yandex.Eats, ready-to-eat and grocery delivery service, and Yandex.Lavka, hyperlocal convenience store delivery service) and Yandex.Drive, car-sharing business;
The Yandex.Market segment includes price comparison service, marketplace and several small experiments;
The Classifieds segment includes Auto.ru, Yandex.Realty, Yandex.Jobs, and Yandex Classifieds, and derives revenues from online advertising and listing fees;
Media Services (including KinoPoisk, Yandex.Music, Yandex.Afisha, production center Yandex.Studio and subscription service Yandex.Plus) which derives revenue from online advertising and transaction revenues, including music and video content subscriptions as well as event tickets sales.

Operating segments of the Company may integrate products managed by other operating segments into their services, for which they pay royalties or other types of compensation. Such compensation represents intersegment transactions, which are included in revenues of the reportable segments presented below. The Company considers it is impracticable to separately present revenues from external customers and intersegment transactions for each reportable segment as such information is not readily available and is not presented to the CODM.

The Company accounts for intersegment revenues as if the services were provided to third parties, that is, at the level approximating current market prices.

The measures of the segments’ profits and losses that are used by the CODM to assess segment performance and decide how to allocate resources for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2021 are presented below. The CODM does not evaluate operating segments using asset information and, accordingly, the Company does not report asset information by segments.

In the first quarter of 2021 the Company corrected the Dutch VAT returns of Yandex. N.V. for periods beginning in 2016 through the fourth quarter of 2020. The cumulative effect of a correction together with other immaterial discrepancies identified amounted to RUB 1,005 ($13.6 at the exchange rate as of December 31, 2020) as of December 31, 2020. The Company evaluated the materiality of impact on the financial statements quantitatively and qualitatively and concluded it was not material to any of the affected prior periods and that correction would be material for the quarter ended March 31, 2021. Consolidated revenues are not affected. Therefore, the Company revised its previously issued consolidated financial statements for the periods impacted.
