DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business

Yandex N.V., the parent company (the “Company”), together with its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively “Yandex” or the “Group”), is a technology company that builds intelligent products and services powered by machine learning and other technologies. Yandex is one of Europe's largest internet businesses and the leading search and ride-hailing provider in Russia.

Yandex N.V. was incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands in June 2004 and is the holding company of a number of subsidiaries globally.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission 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 and six months ended June 30, 2023 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, 2022.

In the opinion of the Group, 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
June 30, 2023, 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, 2022, was derived from the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 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 Group’s business, operations or governance; changes in the political, legal and/or regulatory environment; competitive pressures; changes in advertising patterns; changes in user preferences; technological developments; and the Group’s need to expend capital to accommodate the growth of the business in addition to other risks and uncertainties included under “Risk Factors” in the Group’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022.

There have been no material changes in the Group’s significant accounting policies and estimates as compared to those described in the Group’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022, except for an update of accounting policy in relation to the net investment in the lease.

Investment in the finance lease consists of sales-type leases of cars and represents net unpaid rentals. The terms of the sales-type leases are from 3 to 5 years, with the possibility of early redemption and secured by a collateral of the leased assets. The Group recognizes net investment in the lease and derecognizes the assets to be leased. Net investment in the lease is calculated as the aggregate of minimum lease payments net of reimbursable expenses, representing the amounts guaranteed by the lessee and any unguaranteed residual value (together - gross investment in the lease), discounted at the interest rate implicit in the lease. The interest rate implicit in the lease is the discount rate that, at the inception of the lease, causes the present value of the gross investment in the lease to be equal to the fair value of the leased assets. The difference between the gross investment in the lease and the net investment in the lease represents unearned finance income. Unearned finance income is recognized as finance lease income over the lease term in a manner that produces a constant rate of return on the net investment in the lease based on the implicit interest rate.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of 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 consolidated financial statements and amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting

period. The Group bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.

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 87.0341 to $1.00, the exchange rate as of June 30, 2023 (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 September 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-04, “Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations”, which requires entities that use supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services to disclose key terms of the programs. The standard does not affect the recognition, measurement or financial statement presentation of supplier finance program obligations. The amendments in this ASU are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2023. The Group adopted the standard effective on January 1, 2023, without a significant impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

NET INCOME/(LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic net income/(loss) per Class A and Class B ordinary share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023 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 and including vested restricted share units and shares that will be delivered as part of the restructuring of the convertible debt in June 2022. Diluted net income/(loss) per ordinary share is computed using the dilutive effect of share-based awards calculated using the “treasury stock” method and the dilutive effect of convertible debt restructuring under the if-converted 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 June 30, 2022 and 2023, was 15,105,542 and 5,606,909, respectively and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023, was 18,459,412 and 5,610,944, respectively.

In June 2022, the Group completed a purchase of 93.2% in aggregate principal amount of the Group’s 0.75% convertible notes due to March 3, 2025 (the “Notes”) and accounted for the modification of all the Notes. The Group has to date purchased more than 99% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued. Prior to the modification, the convertible debt is included in the calculation of diluted net income per share under the if-converted method.

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

As of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023, the Group recorded liabilities for all pending legal matters that were probable and reasonably estimable in the amount of RUB 726 and RUB 908 ($10.4) respectively.

As of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023, the Group was subject to various legal and regulatory matters that have arisen in the normal course of business. Related claims amounted to RUB 813 and RUB 264 ($3), respectively. The Group has not recognized a liability in respect of those claims because management does not believe that the Group has incurred a probable material loss by reason of any of those matters.

Environment and Current Economic Situation

The Group has principal operations in Russia, and smaller, early-stage businesses that operate internationally. Current geopolitical tensions and their impact on the Russian and global economy have created an exceptionally challenging environment for the Group’s business, team and shareholders.

These developments have adversely impacted (and may in the future materially adversely impact) the macroeconomic climate in Russia, resulting in volatility of the ruble, currency controls, materially increased interest rates and inflation and a potential contraction in consumer spending, as well as the withdrawal of foreign businesses and suppliers from the Russian market. In addition, laws or regulations may be adopted that may adversely affect the Group’s non-Russian shareholders and the value of the shares they hold in the Group. For additional details on the Group’s risk exposure, see the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Taxes are subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities authorized by law to impose fines and penalties. Although the Group 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 Group. As of June 30, 2023, except for the unrecognized tax benefits described in Note 9, the Group accrued RUB 12,772 ($146.7) (RUB 10,913 as of December 31, 2022) for contingencies related to non-income taxes and fees, including penalties and interest of RUB 3,417 ($39.3) and RUB 2,439 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, as a component of other accrued liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, the Group has identified possible contingencies related to non-income taxes and fees, which were not accrued. Such contingencies could materialize and require the Group to pay additional amounts of tax. As of June 30, 2023, the Group estimated such contingencies related to non-income taxes and fees, including penalties and interest, to be up to approximately RUB 41,362 ($475.2) (RUB 25,232 as of December 31, 2022).

In January 2023, the Company modified the terms of Yandex N.V. RSU awards and extended the program into 2023 to provide an opportunity for all holders of RSUs to exchange the portion of outstanding awards that would otherwise have vested in 2023 for cash bonuses. Equity awards in respect of an aggregate of approximately 2.7 million RSUs were exchanged. The replacement cash payments were payable in accordance with the original 2023 vesting schedules in respect of the exchanged RSUs. The exchange was accounted for as a modification of equity awards, resulting in additional share-based compensation expense of RUB 6,484 excluding tax effect, of which RUB 3,653 ($42.0) is recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The accrued liability associated with the replacement cash payment in the amount of RUB 2,409 ($27.7) is included in accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2023.

As of June 30, 2023, there was RUB 18,129 ($208.3) of unamortized share-based compensation expense related to unvested share options, RSUs and PSUs which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.27 years.

Synthetic Options Equity Incentive Plans and Business Unit Equity Awards

The Company granted share-based awards to the employees of several business units, comprised of a synthetic option awards 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. Generally, 25% of the Synthetic Options vest after one year, with the remaining vesting in equal amounts on the last day of each quarter over the following three years.

The Company also granted equity incentive awards under the 2016 Plan to the senior employees of certain
