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, 2022 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, 2021.

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of its financial position as of March 31, 2022, and its results of operations, comprehensive income/(loss), cash flows and change in equity for the periods presented. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021, was derived from audited annual consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021 but does not contain all of the related footnote disclosures.

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, 2021.

The results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the year ending December 31, 2022 or any other future period. The potential risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from the operating results expected include, among others, geopolitical and macroeconomic developments affecting the Russian economy or the Company’s business, changes in the political, legal and/or regulatory environment, the impact of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and regulatory and business responses to that crisis, competitive pressures, changes in advertising patterns, changes in user preferences, technological developments, and the Company’ need to expend capital to accommodate the growth of the business.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As described in Note 10, following the suspension of trading of the Company’s Class A shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market for more than five trading days, the holders of the Company’s convertible notes due March 3, 2025 have the right to require the Company to redeem the notes at par, and the Company does not have the funds available to redeem the notes in full. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

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

(In millions of Russian rubles and U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)

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 84.0851 to $1.00, the exchange rate as of March 31, 2022 (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. After the balance sheet date, the ruble has been experiencing a period of significant volatility.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, “Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity”, which simplifies the accounting for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity, including convertible instruments and contracts on an entity’s own equity. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021.

Prior to the adoption of ASU 2020-06, the Company separately accounted for the liability and equity components of the Company’s convertible notes due March 3, 2025. The value of the liability component as of the date of issuance was recognized at the present value of its cash flows using a discount rate of 3.059%, the Company's estimated borrowing rate at the date of the issuance for a similar debt instrument without the conversion feature. The value of the equity component as of the date of issuance was calculated by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the initial proceeds ascribed to the convertible debt instrument as a whole and was recorded as a debt discount. Debt discount was amortized using the effective interest method over the period from the origination date through the stated maturity date. The equity component was included in additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021.

The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2022, using the modified retrospective method. The prior period consolidated financial statements have not been retrospectively adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. As a result of the adoption, the Company recorded a RUB 8,573 decrease in additional paid in capital from the derecognition of the equity component of the convertible debt, net of tax effects, a RUB 6,404 increase in the liability component from the derecognition of the debt discount and debt issuance cost associated with the equity component of the convertible debt, and a RUB 2,511 increase to the opening balance of retained earnings, representing the cumulative interest expense, net of tax effects, recognized related to the amortization of the conversion option of such convertible debt. The Company also wrote off the deferred tax liabilities in the amount of RUB 342 as well as increased the deferred tax assets and respective valuation allowance in the same amount of RUB 1,330 from the derecognition of the equity component (Note 7). As a result of the adoption, starting on January 1, 2022, interest expense is reduced as a result of accounting for the Company’s convertible notes due March 3, 2025 as a single liability measured at its amortized cost.

Accordingly, the impact of the changes on affected consolidated balance sheet line items as of January 1, 2022 for the adoption of the ASU 2020-06 was as follows:

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, 2021 and 2022 is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of ordinary shares using the two class method. Basic net income/(loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of ordinary shares during the period and including vested restricted share units. Diluted net income/(loss) per ordinary share is computed using the dilutive effect of 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, 2021 and 2022, was 13,735,881 and 18,287,953, respectively.

The convertible debt is included in the calculation of diluted net income per share if its inclusion is dilutive under the if-converted method. The convertible debt was anti-dilutive in the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2022.

The components of basic and diluted net income/(loss) per share were as follows:

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(In millions of Russian rubles and U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)

During the three months ended March 31, 2022 the Company entered into commitments for streaming content with future payments, excluding value added tax, amounting to RUB 1,296 ($15.4) in 2022, RUB 301 ($3.6) in 2023, RUB 36 ($0.4) in 2024 and 18 ($0.2) in 2025 and thereafter.

9.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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 not have material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.

As of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022, the Company recorded corresponding liabilities for all of its legal matters that were probable and reasonably estimable of RUB 16 and RUB 11 ($0.1), respectively, in the accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities line on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

As of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022 the Company was subject to various legal and regulatory matters that have arisen in the normal course of business. Related claims amounted to RUB 3,571 and RUB 4,001 ($47.6), respectively, and include, among others, employment related claims, data and privacy matters, claims for compensation in connection with car accidents, claims for termination of contracts, copyright infringement claims and other matters. The Company has not recognized a liability in respect of those claims because 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 principal operations are located in Russia, and also has smaller, early-stage businesses that operate internationally. The current geopolitical crisis, and the responses of governments and multinational businesses to these events, have created significant challenges for the Company’s business and operations, both in Russia and globally. These factors may materially adversely affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, trading price, ability to operate and solvency.

In the ordinary course, the Company is exposed to the economic and financial markets of the Russian Federation, which display characteristics of an emerging markets. 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. As of March 31, 2022, except for the unrecognised tax benefits described in Note 7, the Company accrued RUB 598 ($7.1) for contingencies related to non-income taxes, including penalties and interest, as a component of other accrued liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Business, economic and other risk factors may make the Company's estimates or concentrations vulnerable to significant changes in the short term. The significant changes in the external environment and the high degree of uncertainty about future geopolitical developments (including new potential sanctions and their impact on the Russian economy) make it difficult to evaluate the potential impact on the Company’s future financial performance. Any prolonged economic downturn in Russia as a result of sanctions, depreciation of the ruble, negative consumer sentiment or other macro factors could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations in 2022 and potentially beyond. For additional detailes on the Company’s risk exposure, see Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021.

10.CONVERTIBLE DEBT

In the first quarter of 2020, the Company issued and sold $1.25 billion in aggregate principal amount of 0.75% convertible senior notes due 2025 (the “Notes”).

The carrying value of the Notes as of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022 consisted of the following:

Under the modified retrospective method of adoption of ASU 2020-06, the Company recorded a RUB 6,404 increase in the liability component from the derecognition of the debt discount and debt issuance cost associated with the equity component of the Notes as of January 1, 2022 (Note 1).

The Company recognized RUB 517 and RUB 53 ($0.6) as interest expenses related to the amortization of the debt discount and issuance expenses and RUB 174 and RUB 201 ($2.4) as interest expenses related to the contractual interest coupon for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2022, respectively. The effective interest rates on the liability component for the respective periods were 3.2% and 1.0%.

Under the terms of Notes, in the event of a suspension of trading of the Company’s Class A shares on NASDAQ of five trading days or more, the holders of the Notes have the right to require the Company to redeem their Notes at par in the full amount of $1,250 (RUB 105,106 at the exchange rate as of March 31, 2022) plus accrued interest. On February 28, 2022, NASDAQ imposed a suspension of trading in securities of a number of companies with material operations in Russia, including the Company’s Class A shares, which remained in place at the end of March 4, 2022. Therefore, the conditions for the holders of the Notes to be able to require redemption of their Notes have been satisfied. The Company has agreed with the members of an ad hoc committee of Note holders to amend the period during which the Note holders may exercise their redemption right until June 7, 2022. The Company would have an obligation to pay any such amounts within 14 business days thereafter. The Company does not have the funds available to redeem the Notes in full. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern and the ability to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

The Company is currently engaged in ongoing discussions with the advisors to the ad hoc committee of Note holders with a view to agreeing to the mutually acceptable restructuring of these obligations. Any amendment to the terms of the Notes requires the consent of holders of at least 75% of the principal amount of the Notes. Management believes that the Company will be able to reach agreement with the Note holders with respect to such restructuring. If such agreed arrangement requires a cash payment, the Company believes its principal Russian operating subsidiary will be able to refinance such obligations and receive the requisite approvals from the applicable authorities to distribute and to convert funds, to satisfy the Company’s obligations.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern based on management's intention to reach an acceptable resolution with the holders of the Notes. Therefore, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets and liabilities, or any other adjustments that might result in the event the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

For additional details related to convertible debt, see Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021.

In March 2022, the Company offered to all holders of Yandex N.V. RSUs an opportunity to exchange the portion of outstanding awards that would otherwise vested between February 28, 2022 and the end of 2022 in exchange for cash bonuses. An aggregate of approximate 3,300,000 Yandex N.V. RSUs outstanding equity awards were exchanged.

The exchange was accounted for as a modification of equity awards, resulting in no additional share-based compensation expense recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations; the effect will be recognized by a reclassification from equity to liability in the amount of the cash payments.

The total modification effect is an aggregate of approximate RUB 13,650 ($162.3) excluding tax effect, of which RUB 3,508 ($41.7) is recognized in liability with the corresponding reduction in additional paid-in capital as of March 31, 2022.

The replaced cash payment will be paid in accordance with the original 2022 vesting schedules of the exchanged RSUs.

For the three months ended March 31, 2022 the Company granted 0.4 million equity incentive awards under the 2016 Plan to the senior employees of these business units, 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”) and 2.1 million remain outstanding as of March 31, 2022.

12.SEGMENT INFORMATION

F-10


YANDEX N.V.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(In millions of Russian rubles and U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)

Media Services and Classifieds. The results of the Company’s remaining operating segments, including self-driving vehicles business (“Yandex SDG”), Zen, Yandex Cloud, Yandex Education, Devices, FinTech, Toloka, RouteQ and Yandex Lavka experiments in international markets (“Lavka Overseas”), that do not meet quantitative or 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 in 2022, the Company introduced the following changes to its segments compared to those presented within the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, in order to better reflect the operational structure of the businesses:

The Company transferred Ride-hailing, Yandex Drive, FoodTech, Yandex Delivery (Logistics) and Yandex Market reportable segments to a new reportable segment called E-commerce, Mobility and Delivery. The operating segment Yandex Uslugi (“Services”) was transferred to the E-commerce, Mobility and Delivery segment from Other Business Units and Initiatives;
The Company transferred Toloka, a data-centric AI solution that enables clients to generate machine learning data at scale, and RouteQ, a cloud platform using traffic forecasts to optimize last mile delivery (formerly known as Yandex Routing), from Search and Portal to the Other Business Units and Initiatives.

These changes have been applied retroactively to all periods presented.

Reportable segments derive revenues from the following services:

The Search and Portal segment includes Search, Geo, Yandex 360, Weather, News, Travel, Alice voice assistant and number of other services offered in Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan;
The E-commerce, Mobility and Delivery segment includes transactional online-to-offline (O2O) businesses, which consist of (i) the mobility businesses, including ride-hailing in Russia and other countries across CIS and EMEA and Yandex Drive, scooters and car-sharing business for both B2C and B2B; (ii) the E-commerce businesses in Russia and CIS, including Yandex Market, multi-category e-commerce marketplace, Yandex Lavka Russia, hyperlocal convenience store delivery service, and grocery delivery service of Yandex Eats; and (iii) other O2O businesses, including Yandex Delivery, last-mile logistics solution for individuals, enterprises and SMB, Yandex Eats Food Delivery, ready-to-eat delivery service from restaurants, Lavka Israel, hyperlocal convenience store delivery service, and several smaller experiments;
The Media Services segment includes the subscription service Yandex Plus, Yandex Music, KinoPoisk, Yandex Afisha and production center Yandex Studio;
The Classifieds segment includes Auto.ru, Yandex Realty and Yandex Rent.

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 to be 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 are presented below. Each segment’s assets and capital expenditures are not reviewed by the CODM.
