(2) The following measures presented in this release are "non-GAAP financial measures": ex-TAC revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin, financial results on a like-for-like basis including Yandex.Market in the prior year period. Please see the section "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for a discussion of how we define these measures, as well as reconciliations at the end of this release of each of these measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures.

(3) GMV is value of delivered (and settled by customers) orders recognized on the date of delivery at their final prices, including VAT.

(4) E-Commerce GMV is defined as the value of all merchandise sold through our Yandex.Market marketplace and Yandex.Lavka as well as the value of grocery products sold through Yandex.Eats (delivered and paid for) to customers including VAT.

Financial outlook

Based on recent performance, we currently expect our total group revenues to be between RUB 330 and 340 billion for the full year 2021.

We are increasing our Search & Portal ruble-based revenue outlook to mid-twenties growth (from high-teens previously) for the full year 2021 compared with 2020. We continue to expect Adjusted EBITDA margin in Search & Portal to be stable for the full year 2021 compared with 2020.

We expect our total E-Commerce GMV (includes GMV of Yandex.Market marketplace, our e-grocery business Yandex.Lavka and grocery-originated GMV of Yandex.Eats) to increase up to 3x for the full year 2021 compared with 2020. We also expect our ride-hailing GMV (excluding Logistics) to demonstrate around 60% growth for the full year 2021 compared to 2020.

Our outlook reflects our current view, based on the trends that we have seen in the first seven months of the year, and may change subject to developments in market conditions, including the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic and potential further disruptions caused by the health crisis.

Consolidated revenues breakdown

In RUB millions	Three months ended June 30,			Six months ended June 30,
	2020	2021	Change	2020	2021	Change
Online advertising revenues	24,760	39,586	60%	54,869	75,582	38%
Revenues related to Taxi segment, excluding sales of goods	10,782	21,448	99%	24,024	42,181	76%
Revenues related to sales of goods	2,886	13,413	365%	4,075	24,281	n/m
Other revenues	2,979	6,955	133%	5,442	12,494	130%
Total revenues	41,407	81,402	97%	88,410	154,538	75%

Online advertising revenues grew 60% in Q2 2021 compared with Q2 2020 and generated 49% of total revenues. Online advertising revenues in Q2 2021 on a like-for-like basis (including revenues of Yandex.Market in the 2020 period) grew 47% YoY, excluding TAC they grew 48%. The growth was primarily driven by the low base effect of last year related to the pandemic-driven decline in our online advertising revenues, strong performance in Search and Zen advertising revenues as well as Listings and strong trends in display and video advertising in Yandex Ad Network, partly offset by a decrease in Yandex.Market CPC revenues. On a 2-year stack basis online advertising revenues grew by 14%, excluding TAC by 16%.

Revenues related to the Taxi segment, excluding sales of goods, grew 99% in Q2 2021 compared with Q2 2020 and accounted for 26% of total revenues, at a similar level as in Q2 2020. On a 2-year stack basis revenues related to the Taxi segment, excluding sales of goods grew by 44%. Revenues related to the Taxi segment include revenues from our Ride-hailing, Logistics, Yandex.Eats and Yandex.Drive businesses, but exclude revenues related to sales of goods from Yandex.Lavka. The increase of revenues related to the Taxi segment was attributed to the recovery of our Ride-hailing and Drive businesses driven by the acceleration of both rides and GMV growth (supported, among others, by the low base effect as the negative impact of the COVID pandemic on our ride-hailing operations peaked in Q2 2020) as well as the strong performance of the Logistics business.

Revenues related to sales of goods grew 365% in Q2 2021 compared with Q2 2020 and accounted for 16% of total revenues. Revenues related to sales of goods include revenues from Yandex.Market 1P sales, revenues from Yandex.Lavka, where we use a first-party (1P) business model and act as a direct retailer, and from our Devices business. This growth principally reflects the consolidation of Yandex.Market. On a like-for-like basis (including Yandex.Market in both Q2 2021 and Q2 2020) revenues related to sales of goods grew by 95% year on year mainly due to Yandex.Market 1P revenue growth, and to a lesser extent the strong performance of Yandex.Lavka and Devices businesses.

Other revenues grew 133% in Q2 2021 compared with Q2 2020 and amounted to 9% of total revenues. Other revenues include revenues from Media Services subscriptions, marketplace 3P fees and commissions, Yandex.Cloud, Education, and other services. On a like-for-like basis (including Yandex.Market's commissions and other marketplace revenues in both Q2 2021 and Q2 2020) other revenues grew 108% year-on-year. This growth was primarily driven by subscription revenues of Media Services and expansion of our Cloud businesses, which was partially offset by the decline in Yandex.Market commission revenue on the back of the lower blended take-rates.

Consolidated Operating Costs and Expenses

Our operating costs and expenses consist of cost of revenues, product development expenses, sales, general and administrative expenses (SG&A), depreciation and amortization expenses (D&A). Apart from D&A, each of the above expense categories include personnel-related costs and expenses, relevant office space rental, and related share-based compensation expense. Increases across all cost categories reflect investments in overall growth. In Q2 2021 our headcount increased by 1,859 full-time employees. The total number of full-time employees was 14,850 as of June 30, 2021, up by 14% compared with March 31, 2021, and up 45% from June 30, 2020, which is primarily driven by gradually accelerating pace of hiring, as well as the consolidation of Yandex.Market. On a like-for-like basis the growth of headcount was 28% YoY, which was primarily driven by accelerated pace of hiring in E-commerce (including Yandex.Market, Lavka and Yandex.Eats) as well as by the fast growth of Cloud, Media Services, Logistics and other businesses.

Cost of revenues, including traffic acquisition costs (TAC)

In RUB millions	Three months ended June 30,			Six months ended June 30,

Total cost of revenues as a % of revenues	38.4%	51.3%		36.4%	49.1%

(5) Including sales of 1P products on Yandex.Market marketplace.

TAC grew 50% in Q2 2021 compared with Q2 2020 and represented 7.7% of total revenues, down 238 basis points compared with Q2 2020. The year-on-year dynamic of TAC as a share of revenue was primarily driven by a decrease of the share of advertising revenues as a percentage of total revenues as well as the optimization of TAC rates.

Costs related to the Taxi segment, excluding sales of goods increased 110% compared with Q2 2020. The growth was mainly a result of the increase in our corporate Taxi offering, delivery costs attributed to Yandex.Lavka, Logistics and Yandex.Eats and leasing costs attributed to Yandex.Drive, our car-sharing business. We are the principal in transactions with our Taxi corporate clients; therefore, we recognize both revenues and cost of revenues on a gross basis. B2B revenue amounted to 23% of ride-hailing revenues in Q2 2021 (up from 21% in Q1 2021) and grew 94% compared to Q2 2020.

Costs related to devices and other goods sold increased 416% compared with Q2 2020, which was mainly due to the consolidation of Yandex.Market. On a like-for-like basis (including cost of revenues related to Yandex.Market in both Q2 2021 and Q2 2020) costs related to devices and other goods sold increased 100% on the back of increased 1P sales of Yandex.Market as well as strong growth of Yandex.Lavka and our Devices business.

Other cost of revenues in Q2 2021 increased 205% compared with Q2 2020, primarily driven by the consolidation of Yandex.Market. Other costs of revenues include сosts of Yandex.Market sales, excluding sales of goods, Media Services subscriptions, Zen content and other services. On a like-for-like basis (including cost of revenues related to Yandex.Market in both Q2 2021 and Q2 2020) other costs of revenues were up 75%, principally reflecting increased Yandex.Market sales, excluding sales of goods, as well as increased investments in content within Media Services and Zen.

Total operating expenses increased 75% in Q2 2021 compared with Q2 2020. On a like-for-like basis (including Yandex.Market in both Q2 2021 and Q2 2020) total operating expenses increased 58% in Q2 2021 mainly due to an increase in advertising and marketing activities, which supported revenue growth of Search and Portal, Taxi, Media Services and GMV growth acceleration of Yandex.Market. Q2 2021 dynamics was also affected by the low operating costs base in Q2 2020 due to COVID-related cost optimization measures that were undertaken in Q2 2020.

In RUB millions	Three months ended June 30,			Six months ended June 30,

As a % of revenues	10.2%	6.0%		7.9%	6.9%

Total SBC expense increased 16% in Q2 2021 compared with Q2 2020. The growth primarily reflects new equity-based grants made in 2020-2021 as well as the increased share price of Yandex N.V. and material appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the ruble, largely offset by the high base effect (related to the replacement of cash bonuses by equity compensation for some senior employees in Q2 2020, in the course of the Company's COVID-19 related cost optimization initiatives).

Income/(loss) from operations

In RUB millions	Three months ended June 30,			Six months ended June 30,

Income/(loss) from operations	116	(4,723)	n/m	5,305	(4,990)	n/m

Loss from operations amounted to RUB 4.7 billion in Q2 2021 compared to income from operations of RUB 0.1 billion in Q2 2020. Including Yandex.Market in both periods, loss from operations in Q2 2020 was RUB 2.6 billion. The decrease reflects the changes in segment mix amid the continuing investments in our rapidly growing new businesses (primarily Yandex.Market, FoodTech and Media Services).

Segment financial results

Search & Portal

Our Search and Portal segment includes Search, Geo, Yandex 360, Weather, News, Travel, Alice voice assistant and a number of other services offered in Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan.

Key operational trends:

• Share of Russian search market, including mobile, averaged 59.7% in Q2 2021, broadly in line with 59.6% in Q2 2020 and down slightly from 60.0% in Q1 2021 (primarily reflecting a seasonal normalization of the desktop market share), according to Yandex.Radar

• Mobile search traffic was 63.3% of our total search traffic in Q2 2021. Mobile revenues represented 56.7% of our search revenues in Q2 2021
• Search queries in Russia decreased 5% in Q2 2021 on year-on-year basis driven by the high base in Q2 2020 when the start of the pandemic led to a material acceleration of search queries growth

In RUB millions	Three months ended June 30,			Six months ended June 30,
	2020	2021	Change	2020	2021	Change
Revenues	25,554	39,419	54%	56,090	74,564	33%
Revenues Ex-TAC	20,909	32,358	55%	45,522	61,174	34%
Adjusted EBITDA	10,991	18,226	66%	25,733	35,185	37%
Adjusted EBITDA margin	43.0%	46.2%	3.2 pp	45.9%	47.2%	1.3 pp

Revenues increased by 54% and Revenues Ex-TAC increased by 55% year-on-year in Q2 2021, primarily driven by the low base effect of Q2 2020 related to the COVID-driven decline in economic activity and advertising demand. On a two-year stack basis the revenues increased by 16% reflecting the solid performance of the core search business on the back of the improved search share, mobile monetization and supported by our investments in advertising technology.

Adjusted EBITDA margin came to 46.2% in Q2 2021 compared with 43.0% in Q2 2020. The year-on-year improvement dynamic was primarily driven by the positive operating leverage effect on the back of the recovering revenue growth and improvement in TAC.

(6) Delivery (Logistics) GMV is defined as total transaction amounts, paid by individual users and B2B clients for a last-mile delivery service, including VAT and excluding any adjustment for consumer discounts and refunds, Partner (Driver / Courier) earnings and Partner incentives.

Taxi segment revenues increased by 114%, primarily driven by the solid performance of our Ride-hailing (including our corporate Taxi business) and Yandex.Lavka businesses, as well as the growth of car-sharing and Logistics. Ride-hailing and Drive revenue increased by 98% and 349% respectively due to an increase in a number of rides on the back of the low base effect of Q2 2020 as well as recovering consumer demand. FoodTech revenue delivered solid 93% year-on-year growth despite high base effect in Q2 2020 on the back of the increasing penetration of food delivery services as well as the improving market position of our services. On a 2-year stack revenue in Ride-Hailing, Drive and FoodTech increased by 39%, 33% and 223% respectively.

Eliminations related to the Taxi segment represent the eliminations of intercompany revenues between different businesses within Taxi Group. The increase of 210% in Q2 2021 compared with Q2 2020 was mainly attributed to a higher volume of FoodTech orders fulfilled by our Yandex.Delivery (Logistics) vertical.

Adjusted EBITDA of Taxi was RUB 1,568 million in Q2 2021, up from RUB 51 million in Q2 2020. The increase of adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by the significant improvement of our Ride-hailing Adjusted EBITDA and Yandex.Drive (which has delivered positive Adjusted EBITDA for four consecutive quarters), partially offset by the investments into the rapidly growing Yandex.Lavka and Yandex.Eats (grocery delivery from retail chains in particular) businesses as well as our Logistics services.

Yandex.Market

The Yandex.Market segment includes our marketplace, price comparison service, and several small experiments.

• The number of active buyers on Yandex.Market marketplace increased by 78% year-on-year and reached 7.1 million as of the end of Q2 2021

The table below presents the financial results of the Yandex.Market segment on a like-for-like basis for the full three and six months periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2021.

In RUB millions	Three months ended June 30,			Six months ended June 30,
	2020 *	2021	Change	2020 *	2021	Change
GMV of Yandex.Market	10,947	26,692	144%	18,775	44,360	136%

* Financial results of Yandex.Market for the six and three months ended June 30, 2020 were not included in Yandex's consolidated financial results on a consolidated basis, but portion of the results were recognized in line «Loss from equity method investments» due to accounting for the equity stake in Yandex.Market.

(7) CPC revenues are defined as revenues from price comparison services priced on a CPC (cost-per-click) basis and recognized only when a user clicks on product offerings placed by merchants on Yandex.Market. Whereas marketplace revenues (from sales of goods (1P) and commission and other marketplace revenues (3P)) are priced on cost per action model.

The GMV of Yandex.Market marketplace accelerated to 144% year-on-year in Q2 2021 compared with 126% in Q1 2021 despite high growth recorded in the Q2 2020. The acceleration was driven by the combination of factors, including audience growth, significant expansion in assortment and logistics infrastructure, swift transition of merchants from CPC to CPA (powered by dropship by seller "DBS" model), as well as support from the integration with our Yandex Plus program.

Yandex.Market total revenues grew 23% in Q2 2021 compared with Q2 2020. The slower-than-GMV revenue growth is explained by the changes in marketplace revenue mix (increase in the share of 3P GMV to 70% in Q2 2021 compared with 56% in Q2 2020), the decrease of the merchants commission as well as the decline in the price comparison revenue (by 43% year-on-year on the back of the conversion of merchants from CPC to our 3P marketplace model). Revenues from sale of goods (1P) grew 67% and were influenced by overall business growth and partly offset by a decrease in 1P as a share of GMV. Commission and other marketplace revenues (3P) decreased by 13% driven by the decrease of the merchants commissions and 3P blended take-rates (on the back of the expansion of the DBS model) partially offset by the overall growth of 3P GMV.

Adjusted EBITDA loss of Yandex.Market business was RUB 9.9 billion in Q2 2021, compared to a loss of RUB 1.8 billion in Q2 2020, primarily as a result of investments in the expansion of our operations, including our assortment, fulfillment and delivery infrastructure, reduction of marketplace commissions as well as additional distribution and marketing support following the marketplace rebranding in Q4 2020.

Media Services

The Media Services segment includes our subscription service Yandex Plus, Yandex.Music, KinoPoisk, Yandex.Afisha and our production center Yandex.Studio.

Key operational trends:

• Number of Yandex Plus subscribers reached 9 million as of the end of Q2 2021, up 128% from the end of Q2 2020

In RUB millions	Three months ended June 30,			Six months ended June 30,
	2020	2021	Change	2020	2021	Change
Revenues	1,700	4,094	141%	3,133	7,580	142%
Adjusted EBITDA	(857)	(1,732)	102%	(1,567)	(2,989)	91%
Adjusted EBITDA margin	-50.4%	-42.3%	8.1 pp	-50.0%	-39.4%	10.6 pp

Media Services revenues grew 141% in Q2 2021 compared with Q2 2020. The increase was primarily driven by the growth of Yandex Plus subscription revenues as well as by B2B revenues, which includes growth of advertising revenues on the back of overall recovery in advertising expenditures and licensing revenues due to increased activities in licensing sales of KinoPoisk Originals and sublicensing of exclusives. Increasing adjusted EBITDA losses reflect our investments in content and marketing to support the growth of our business.

Classifieds

The Classifieds segment includes Auto.ru, Yandex.Realty, Yandex.Jobs, and Yandex Classifieds.

In RUB millions	Three months ended June 30,			Six months ended June 30,
	2020	2021	Change	2020	2021	Change
Revenues	886	1,995	125%	2,374	3,778	59%
Adjusted EBITDA	80	728	n/m	(24)	1,113	n/m
Adjusted EBITDA margin	9.0%	36.5%	27.5 pp	-1.0%	29.5%	30.5 pp

Classifieds revenues increased by 125% in Q2 2021 compared with Q2 2020, due to a low base effect in Q2 2020 and was driven mainly by the recovering revenue from auto dealers' listings. Auto finance and insurance service revenue has grown more than 7x as compared to Q2 2020 due to the product development. On a 2-year stack basis Classifieds revenues grew by 24%. The Adjusted EBITDA margin has improved to 36.5% in Q2 2021 from 9.0% in Q2 2020 primarily driven by acceleration of Auto.ru revenue growth and consequent operating leverage improvement.

Other Business Units and Initiatives

The Other Business Units and Initiatives segment includes our self-driving vehicles business ("Yandex SDG"), Zen, Yandex.Cloud, Yandex.Education, Devices, and Yandex.Uslugi ("Services"), as well as several other experiments.

Key operational trends:

• Zen's daily average users was 19.2 million in June 2021, up 14% from June 2020
• Share of video as percentage of time spent on Zen is around 28%as of the end of June 2021 compared to 14% in the end of June 2020

In RUB millions	Three months ended June 30,			Six months ended June 30,
	2020	2021	Change	2020	2021	Change
Revenues	2,037	4,898	140%	3,782	9,628	155%
Adjusted EBITDA	(1,870)	(3,169)	69%	(3,634)	(5,579)	54%
Adjusted EBITDA margin	-91.8%	-64.7%	27.1 pp	-96.1%	-57.9%	38.2 pp

Other Business Units and Initiatives revenues increased 140% in Q2 2021 compared with Q2 2020. The increase was primarily driven by the fast growth in Devices (revenue increased 196% year-on-year to RUB 1.6 billion in Q2 2021 on the back of the strong demand for our stations), Zen and Cloud.

Adjusted EBITDA loss amounted to RUB 3.2 billion, up from a loss of RUB 1.9 billion in Q2 2020, primarily driven by the increased investments in Yandex.Uslugi, Yandex SDG (where adjusted EBITDA loss was RUB 1 billion in Q2 2021) and other initiatives. The Adjusted EBITDA loss of Devices business came to RUB 222 million in Q2 2021 compared to RUB 172 million in Q2 2020, primarily driven by significant increase in sales, marketing activities and R&D expenses partly offset by improved profitability as a result of the growing economy of scale.

Eliminations

Eliminations related to our revenues represent the elimination of transactions between the reportable segments, including advertising revenues, intercompany revenues related to brand royalties, data centers, logistics service, devices intercompany sales and others.

In RUB millions	Three months ended June 30,			Six months ended June 30,
	2020	2021	Change	2020	2021	Change
Revenues:
Segment revenues	43,308	87,354	102%	92,531	166,405	80%
Eliminations	(1,901)	(5,952)	213%	(4,121)	(11,867)	188%
Total revenues	41,407	81,402	97%	88,410	154,538	75%

Eliminations	76	77	1%	158	167	6%
Total adjusted EBITDA	8,471	5,780	-32%	20,596	16,801	-18%

Eliminations related to our revenues increased 213% in Q2 2021 compared with Q2 2020. On a like-for-like basis (including Yandex.Market in both Q2 2021 and Q2 2020), eliminations related to our revenues increased 130% in Q2 2021. The increase was mainly attributed to higher intercompany TAC related to fast growing Zen business, intercompany revenue in Search & Portal (related to brand royalties, data centers rent paid by business units as well as cross-service advertising and marketing activities) as well as the intercompany eliminations related to Yandex Plus program (advertising and marketing support in Taxi and Media Services).

Adjusted EBITDA decreased 32% in Q2 2021 compared with Q2 2020. On a like-for-like basis (including Yandex.Market in both Q2 2021 and Q2 2020), adjusted EBITDA decreased 13%. The decline was mainly driven by investments in E-commerce (including Yandex.Market, Lavka and Yandex.Eats), Other Business Units and Initiatives and Media Services, which were partly offset by Search and Portal, Ride-hailing and Classifieds revenue growth and EBITDA margin improvement compared to Q2 2020.

Interest income in Q2 2021 was RUB 1,180 million, compared with RUB 971 million in Q2 2020, reflecting an increase in cash on deposits in Q2 2021 compared with Q2 2020.

Interest expense in Q2 2021 was RUB 861 million, up from RUB 678 million in Q2 2020, reflecting interest on the convertible bonds issued in February 2020.

Foreign exchange loss in Q2 2021 was RUB 555 million, compared with a foreign exchange loss of RUB 1,296 million in Q2 2020. This loss reflects the appreciation of the Russian ruble during Q2 2021.

Income tax expense for Q2 2021 was RUB 485 million, down from RUB 1,966 million in Q2 2020 mainly due to change in deferred tax asset valuation allowances. If we remove the effects of deferred tax asset valuation allowances, SBC expense, tax on dividends and tax provisions recognized, our effective tax rate for Q2 2021 was 23.9%, compared with 26.5% for Q2 2020 as adjusted for certain losses from equity-method investments, which are non-deductible, and similar effects in that period. The decrease in the tax rate without above-mentioned effects was primarily driven by the permanent difference between US GAAP and tax accounting in the books of certain of our subsidiaries.

Net loss was RUB 4.7 billion ($64.4 million) in Q2 2021, compared with net loss of RUB 3.7 billion in Q2 2020. Net loss in Q2 2021 was driven by the consolidation of Yandex.Market, as well as significant investments in FoodTech and Media Services compared with Q2 2020.

Adjusted net income in Q2 2021 was RUB 1.0 billion ($14.0 million), a 47% decrease from Q2 2020, primarily driven by the consolidation of Yandex.Market, as well as significant investments in FoodTech, Media Services and Other Business Units and Initiatives, which were partly offset by revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA margin improvement in Search and Portal, Ride-hailing and Classifieds compared to Q2 2020.

Adjusted net income margin was 1.2% in Q2 2021, compared with 4.6% in Q2 2020.

As of June 30, 2021, Yandex had cash, cash equivalents and term deposits of RUB 208.2 billion ($2,876.6 million), including cash, cash equivalents and term deposits of Yandex.Taxi in total amount of RUB 20.9 billion ($288.5 million).

Net cash flow used in operating activities for Q2 2021 was RUB 4.9 billion ($67.3 million) and capital expenditures were RUB 13.7 billion ($189.1 million).

Redeemable noncontrolling interests presented in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets relate to the equity incentive arrangements we have made available to the senior employees of the Classifieds segment, pursuant to which such persons are eligible to acquire depositary receipts, or receive options to acquire depositary receipts, which entitles them to economic interests in the respective business unit subsidiaries.

The total number of shares issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2021 was 357,380,344, including 321,681,669 Class A shares, 35,698,674 Class B shares, and one Priority share and excluding 1,058,810 Class A shares held in treasury and all Class C shares outstanding solely as a result of the conversion of Class B shares into Class A shares. Any such Class C shares will be cancelled.

There were also employee share options outstanding to purchase up to an additional 3.0 million shares, at a weighted average exercise price of $44.17 per share, 1.7 million of which were fully vested; equity-settled share appreciation rights (SARs) for 0.1 million shares, at a weighted average measurement price of $32.72, all of which were fully vested; restricted share units (RSUs) covering 15.7 million shares, of which RSUs to acquire 5.2 million shares were fully vested; performance share units (PSUs) for 0.4 million shares and synthetic options for 2.1 million, 0.3 million of which were fully vested. Equity awards in respect of business unit subsidiaries are described under Redeemable noncontrolling interests above.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

In Q2 2021 we have seen a continuing strengthening of the Russian economy as well as gradual recovery of consumer demand across our key markets. From a lower base of Q2 2020 as a result of the pandemic, we have seen improved financial performance in our key businesses, including online advertising and ride-hailing. We expect the trends to normalize in the following quarters as the low base effect fades. The businesses that saw an acceleration of demand during the pandemic continued to demonstrate solid growth trends on the back of fewer COVID-19 restrictions, including our FoodTech businesses, Yandex.Market marketplace and Media Services. We believe this is related to the change in consumer behavior and habits, and low penetration of these services in Russia. With regards to our financial position as of the end of June 30, 2021, our analysis of the effect from COVID-19 on goodwill, non-current assets and redeemable non-controlling interests shows no measurable impact. The development of the situation with respect to COVID-19 may also lead to changes in estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

To supplement the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we present the following non-GAAP financial measures: ex-TAC revenues, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin, financial results on a like-for-like basis including Yandex.Market. The presentation of these financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned "Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest comparable U.S. GAAP measures", included following the accompanying financial tables. We define the various non-GAAP financial measures we use as follows:

• Ex-TAC revenues means U.S. GAAP revenues less total traffic acquisition costs (TAC)
• Adjusted EBITDA means U.S. GAAP net (loss)/income plus (1) depreciation and amortization, (2) SBC expense, (3) interest expense, (4) income tax expense/(benefit), (5) one-off restructuring expenses, (6) accrual of expense related to the contingent compensation payable to employees in connection with certain business combinations, (7) loss from equity method investments, less (1) interest income and (2) other income, net
• Adjusted EBITDA margin means adjusted EBITDA divided by U.S. GAAP revenues
• Adjusted net income means U.S. GAAP net (loss)/income plus (1) SBC expense adjusted for the income tax attributable to the SBC expense, (2) accrual of expense related to the contingent compensation payable to certain employees in connection with certain business combinations, (3) one-off restructuring expenses adjusted for the related reduction in income tax, (4) amortization of debt discount related to our convertible debt adjusted for the related reduction in income tax, (5) foreign exchange losses/(gains) adjusted for (reduction)/increase in income tax attributable to foreign exchange losses/(gains)
• Adjusted net income margin means adjusted net income divided by U.S. GAAP revenues
• Financial results on a like-for-like basis including Yandex.Market means revenues, ex-TAC revenues, income from operations, adjusted EBITDA and net income of the combined results of operations as if the acquisition of Yandex.Market completed as of January 1, 2020. These amounts have been calculated after the elimination of revenue related to intercompany transactions and adjusting the results of Yandex.Market to reflect amortization associated with intangibles acquired and related income tax results

These non-GAAP financial measures are used by management for evaluating financial performance as well as decision-making. Management believes that these metrics reflect the organic, core operating performance of the company, and therefore are useful to analysts and investors in providing supplemental information that helps them understand, model and forecast the evolution of our operating business.

Although our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for operational decision-making and considers these financial measures to be useful for analysts and investors, we recognize that there are a number of limitations related to such measures. In particular, it should be noted that several of these measures exclude some recurring costs, particularly share-based compensation. In addition, the components of the costs that we exclude in our calculation of the measures described above may differ from the components that our peer companies exclude when they report their results of operations.

Below we describe why we make particular adjustments to certain U.S. GAAP financial measures:

TAC

We believe that it may be useful for investors and analysts to review certain measures both in accordance with U.S. GAAP and net of the effect of TAC, which we view as comparable to sales commissions and bonuses but, unlike sales commissions and bonuses, are not deducted from U.S. GAAP revenues. By presenting revenue, adjusted EBITDA margin and adjusted net income margin net of TAC, we believe that investors and analysts are able to obtain a clearer picture of our business without the impact of the revenues we share with our partners.

SBC

SBC is a significant expense item, and an important part of our compensation and incentive programs. As it is a non-cash charge, however, and highly dependent on our share price at the time of equity award grants, we believe that it is useful for investors and analysts to see certain financial measures excluding the impact of these charges in order to obtain a clearer picture of our operating performance.

Foreign exchange gains and losses

Because we hold significant assets and liabilities in currencies other than our Russian ruble operating currency, and because foreign exchange fluctuations are outside of our operational control, we believe that it is useful to present adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income and related margin measures excluding these effects, in order to provide greater clarity regarding our operating performance.

One-off restructuring expenses

Adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA exclude expenses related to restructuring targeted amendments to Corporate Governance Structure approved by shareholders in December 2019. We believe that it is useful to present adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA and related margin measures excluding impacts not related to our operating activities.

Amortization of debt discount

We also adjust net income for interest expense representing amortization of the debt discount related to our convertible senior notes due 2025 issued in Q1 2020. We have eliminated this expense from adjusted net income as it is non-cash in nature and is not indicative of our ongoing operating performance.

The tables at the end of this release provide detailed reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure we use from the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure.
