"We launched our own browser, a milestone for the company. And I am pleased with the performance of our search product over the past few months as we maintained 60+% market share in Russia. Importantly, we recorded a noticeable improvement in the quality of our search and increased our share of searches across all major browsers and platforms."
1 Pursuant to SEC rules regarding convenience translations, Russian ruble (RUR) amounts have been translated into U.S. dollars at a rate of RUR 30.9169 to $1.00, the official exchange rate quoted as of September 30, 2012 by the Central Bank of the Russian Federation. | |
2 This is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please see "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for a discussion of how we define this non-GAAP financial measure. You will find a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable US GAAP measure in the accompanying financial tables at the end of this release. | |
3 Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income are non-GAAP financial measures. Beginning with Q1 2012, our adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income include adjustments for the accrual of expense related to the contingent compensation that may be payable to certain employees through November 2013 in connection with our acquisition of the mobile software business of SPB Software. Beginning with Q3 2012, our adjusted net income includes adjustment for gains from the sale of our equity investments. Please see "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for a discussion of how we define adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income. You will find a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income to GAAP net income, the most directly comparable US GAAP measure for both non-GAAP measures, in the accompanying financial tables at the end of this release. |

Text-based advertising revenues, accounting for 90% of total revenues in Q3 2012, continued to determine overall top-line performance.
Text-based advertising revenues from Yandex's own websites accounted for 72% of total revenues during Q3 2012, and increased by 39% compared with Q3 2011. Text-based advertising revenues from our ad network increased 55% compared with Q3 2011 and contributed 18% of total revenues during Q3 2012. Growth rates on the ad network sharply contrast with those seen from Q3 2011 through Q2 2012 given that a full year has passed since we implemented changes to our monetization algorithms that increased network ad revenues and since we added Rambler to our partner network.
Paid clicks on Yandex's and its partners' websites, in aggregate, increased 35% in Q3 2012 compared with Q3 2011. As with growth rates in network ad revenues, lower growth rates in paid clicks reflects the fact that a full year has passed since we launched initiatives on our ad network that resulted in a significant increase in click through rates and the number of clicks on the ad network and since we added Rambler to our ad network. Additionally, growth rates during the four previous quarters benefited from our initiatives also launched in Q3 2011 targeted at regional advertisers that resulted in many new lower cost clicks on our own search. Our average cost per click in Q3 2012 increased 5% compared with Q3 2011, and 10% compared with Q2 2012.
Display advertising revenue, accounting for 8% of total revenues during Q3 2012, increased 25% compared with Q3 2011.
Online payment commissions accounted for 2% of revenues during Q3 2012, and increased 40% compared with Q3 2011.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Yandex's operating costs and expenses consist of cost of revenues, product development expenses, sales, general and administrative expenses (SG&A), and depreciation and amortization expenses (D&A). Apart from D&A, each of the above expense categories includes personnel-related costs and expenses, including related share-based compensation expense. Increases across all cost categories, excluding D&A, primarily reflect investments in overall growth, including personnel. In Q3 2012, Yandex added 133 full-time employees, an increase of about 4% from June 30, 2012, and up 14% from September 30, 2011. The total number of full-time employees was 3,607 as of September 30, 2012. Total share-based compensation expense increased 61% in Q3 2012 compared with Q3 2011.

TAC increased from 17.8% of text-based revenues in Q3 2011 to 18.8% in Q3 2012, primarily representing an increase in our Yandex ad network revenues' share in Yandex revenues for the period.
Other cost of revenues in Q3 2012 increased 29% compared with Q3 2011, reflecting growth in personnel and data center-related costs at rates below revenue growth.

As a % of revenues | 15.4% | 14.2% | 16.7% | 15.8% |
Growth in product development expenses in Q3 2012 primarily reflects increases in the number of developers, as well as in employee remuneration. Headcount in this category grew from 1,738 at September 30, 2011 to 1,949 at September 30, 2012.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A)

SG&A costs in Q3 2012 were lower as a percentage of revenues but were higher in absolute terms compared to Q3 2011. The principal factor contributing to growth in this category in Q3 2012 was higher spend on advertising campaigns in Russia and in Turkey.
Share-based compensation (SBC) expense
SBC expense is included in each of the cost of revenues, product development and SG&A categories discussed above.

As a % of revenues | 1.3% | 1.5% | 1.8% | 1.3% |
Total SBC expense increased 61% in Q3 2012 compared with Q3 2011. The increase is principally related to new grants as well as the effects of variable accounting for certain options previously granted to advisors, included in the SG&A expense.
Depreciation and amortization (D&A) expense

2011 | 2012 | Change | 2011 | 2012 | Change | |

As a % of revenues | 9.5% | 10.1% | 9.5% | 10.5% |
D&A expense increased 50% in Q3 2012 compared with Q3 2011, primarily reflecting our considerable investments last year in servers and data centers.
As a result of the factors described above, income from operations was RUR 2.5 billion ($82.3 million) in Q3 2012, a 43% increase from Q3 2011, while adjusted EBITDA reached RUR 3.4 billion ($111.3 million) in Q3 2012, up 47% from Q3 2011.
Interest income in Q3 2012 was RUR 268 million, up from RUR 47 million in Q3 2011, principally as a result of investing more of our cash provided by operating activities in Russia, where our investments earn higher returns.
Foreign exchange loss in Q3 2012 was RUR 13 million, compared with a foreign exchange gain of RUR 383 million in Q3 2011. This loss is due to the depreciation of the U.S. dollar during Q3 2012 from RUR 32.8169 to $1.00 on June 30, 2012 to RUR 30.9169 to $1.00 on September 30, 2012. Yandex's Russian operating subsidiaries' functional currency is the Russian ruble, and therefore changes in the ruble value of these subsidiaries' assets and liabilities that are denominated in other currencies due to exchange rate fluctuations are recognized as foreign exchange gains or losses in the income statement. The U.S. dollar value of Yandex's U.S. dollar-denominated cash, cash equivalents and term deposits was not impacted by these currency fluctuations, but they resulted in downward revaluations of the ruble equivalent of these U.S. dollar-denominated assets in Q3 2012.
Other non-operating income in Q3 2012 was RUR 160 million, arising primarily from gains on the disposition of Yandex's interest in face.com in connection with that company's acquisition by Facebook.
Income tax expense for Q3 2012 was RUR 667 million, up from RUR 484 million in Q3 2011. Our effective tax rate in Q3 2012 was in line with previous quarters at 22.5%. The effective rate in Q3 2011 benefited from the effect of a change in our treasury policy following the IPO. In recent years, Yandex's principal Russian operating subsidiary had been paying dividends to its Netherlands parent company and incurred a 5% withholding tax in Russia when these dividends were paid. Under the new treasury policy, however, management does not currently expect this Russian operating subsidiary to pay dividends to the parent company out of 2011 or 2012 earnings. Therefore, no accrual for dividend withholding tax was required for Q3 2012.
Adjusted net income in Q3 2012 was RUR 2.2 billion ($72.1 million), a 53% increase from Q3 2011. Growth in adjusted net income exceeded revenue growth as costs generally increased at a rate slower than revenue.
Adjusted net income margin was 30.6% in Q3 2012, compared with 28.3% in Q3 2011.
Net income was RUR 2.3 billion ($74.2 million) in Q3 2012, up 34% compared with Q3 2011. The growth in net income at a rate below that of adjusted net income is due to a considerable foreign exchange gain recorded in Q3 2011.
Balance Sheet
As of September 30, 2012, Yandex had cash, cash equivalents, term deposits (including long-term deposits) and long-term debt securities of RUR 24.3 billion ($785.9 million).
Assets and liabilities related to the operations of Yandex.Money, our proprietary electronic payments system, have been reclassified on the balance sheet as assets of RUR 1.7 billion, ($56.0 million) and liabilities of RUR 1.3 billion ($42.7 million), respectively, held for sale, as we are actively seeking to transfer majority control of Yandex.Money to a strategic buyer.
Net operating cash flow and capital expenditures for Q3 2012 were RUR 3.1 billion ($100.1 million) and RUR 1.5 billion ($49.7 million), respectively.
The total number of shares issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2012 was 327,258,774, including 187,851,850 Class A shares, 139,406,923 Class B shares, and one Priority share and excluding Class C shares outstanding solely as a result of conversion of Class B shares into Class A shares; all such Class C shares will be cancelled. There were also options outstanding to purchase up to an additional 11.0 million shares, at a weighted average exercise price of $4.33 per share, of which options to purchase 8.0 million shares were fully vested; equity-settled share appreciation rights equal to 1.2 million shares, at a weighted average measurement price of $20.21, none of which were vested; and restricted share units equal to 1.0 million shares, none of which were vested.
Outlook for 2012
We are narrowing our full-year revenue guidance towards the upper end of the previously announced range and expect year-on-year ruble-based revenue growth of 42-45%.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These include statements regarding our anticipated revenues for full-year 2012. Actual results may differ materially from the results predicted or implied by such statements, and our reported results should not be considered as an indication of future performance. The potential risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from the results predicted or implied by such statements include, among others, competitive pressures, changes in advertising patterns, changes in user preferences, changes in the legal and regulatory environment, technological developments, and our need to expend capital to accommodate the growth of the business, as well as those risks and uncertainties included under the captions "Risk Factors" and "Operating and Financial Review and Prospects" in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2011, which is on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is available on our investor relations website at ir.yandex.com/sec.cfm and on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. Yandex undertakes no duty to update this information unless required by law.
USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with US GAAP, we present the following non-GAAP financial measures: ex-TAC revenue, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted ex-TAC EBITDA margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin and adjusted ex-TAC net income margin. 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 US 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 US GAAP measures", included following the accompanying financial tables. We define the various non-GAAP financial measures we use as follows:
- Ex-TAC revenue means US GAAP revenues less total traffic acquisition costs (TAC).
- Adjusted EBITDA means net income plus (1) depreciation and amortization, (2) share-based compensation expense, (3) accrual of expense related to the contingent compensation that may be payable to employees in connection with our acquisition of the mobile software business of SPB Software and (4) provision for income taxes, less (A) interest income and (B) other income/(expense).
- Adjusted EBITDA margin means adjusted EBITDA divided by US GAAP revenues.
- Adjusted ex-TAC EBITDA margin means adjusted EBITDA divided by ex-TAC revenue.
- Adjusted net income means US GAAP net income plus (1) SBC expense adjusted for the income tax reduction attributable to SBC expense, (2) accrual of expense related to the contingent compensation that may be payable to certain employees in connection with our acquisition of the mobile software business of SPB Software, and (3) foreign exchange losses (less foreign exchange gains) adjusted for the (reduction) increase in income tax attributable to the foreign exchange losses (gains); minus (4) gain from the sale of equity investments.
- Adjusted net income margin means adjusted net income divided by US GAAP revenues.
- Adjusted ex-TAC net income margin means adjusted net income divided by ex-TAC revenues.
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. Below we describe why we make particular adjustments to certain US GAAP financial measures:
TAC
We believe that it may be useful for investors and analysts to review certain measures both in accordance with US GAAP and net of the effect of TAC, which we view as comparable to sales commissions but, unlike sales commissions, are not deducted from US 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 clear picture of our operating performance.
Acquisition-related costs
We may incur expenses in connection with acquisitions that are not indicative of our recurring core operating performance. In particular, we are required under US GAAP to accrue as expense the contingent compensation that may be payable to certain employees in connection with our acquisition of the mobile software business of SPB Software in November 2011. The maximum aggregate amount of such contingent compensation is $14.1 million, payable on the achievement of certain milestones and the continued employment of the sellers, in two installments in November 2012 and 2013. Such maximum aggregate amount is being accrued substantially pro rata over the eight quarters of such period. We have eliminated this acquisition-related expense from adjusted EBITDA and adjusted net income to provide management and investors a tool for comparing on a period-to-period basis our operating performance in the ordinary course of operations.
Foreign exchange gains and losses
Because we hold significant assets 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 net income and related margin measures excluding these effects, in order to provide greater clarity regarding our operating performance.
Gain from the sale of equity investments
Adjusted net income also excludes a gain in the quarter ended September 30, 2012 from our sale of our minority interest in face.com in connection with the sale of that company. We believe that it is useful to present adjusted net income and related margin measures excluding the effect of this significant one-off item in order to provide a clearer picture of our operating performance.
Although our management uses these measures for operational decision making and considers these non-GAAP 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 costs, particularly share-based compensation, that are recurring. 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.
The tables at the end of this release provide detailed reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure we use to the most directly comparable US GAAP financial measure.
