1. | DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Yandex N.V., the parent company, together with its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively “Yandex” or the “Company”), 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 companies 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 and Going Concern
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 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, 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 June 30, 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. Accounting policy in relation to the restructuring of convertible debt is described in Note 11.
The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 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, operations or governance; 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’s 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 11, 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 (the “Notes”) had the right to require the Company to redeem the Notes at par, and the Company did not have the funds available to redeem the Notes in full. These conditions raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern which was disclosed in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2022. In June 2022 the Company restructured the terms of the Notes and entered into a purchase agreement with holders of 93.2% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The purchase was funded by external debt financing obtained, which repayable ratably over the next three years. The Company’s cash flow forecast taking into account this restructuring and the terms of the new debt financing indicate that the Company will have sufficient liquidity in the course of at least next twelve months. As a result of these events the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern no longer exists.

(In millions of Russian rubles and U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)
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 51.1580 to $1.00, the exchange rate as of June 30, 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.
Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 due to the separation of certain line items. The following table presents the impact of the reclassification on affected consolidated balance sheet line items as of December 31, 2021:
| | As of December 31, 2021 | ||||

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 8). As a result of the adoption, starting on January 1, 2022, interest expense is reduced as a result of accounting for the Notes as a single liability measured at its amortized cost.

(In millions of Russian rubles and U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)
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:
| | Balances as of December 31, 2021 | | Adjustments from | | Balances as of |
|
| RUB | | RUB | | RUB |
Convertible debt | | 85,835 | | 6,404 | | 92,239 |
Deferred tax liabilities | | 2,989 | | (342) | | 2,647 |
Additional paid-in capital | | 112,942 | | (8,573) | | 104,369 |
Retained earnings | | 131,488 | | 2,511 | | 133,999 |
Adoption of the ASU 2020-06 did not have a material effect on the diluted net income/(loss) per share.
2. | 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, 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 and shares that will be delivered as part of the restructuring of the Notes (Note 11). Diluted net 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 loss per Class A share assumes the conversion of Class B shares, while the diluted net 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 loss per ordinary share computation, because their effect was anti-dilutive for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, was 17,635,737 and 15,105,542, respectively and for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022, was 16,716,623 and 18,459,412, respectively.
In June 2022, the Company completed a purchase of 93.2% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes (Note 11). The convertible debt restructuring is included in the calculation of diluted net income per share under the if-converted method.
The components of basic and diluted net income/(loss) per share were as follows:

The majority of the Russian subsidiaries were subject to statutory income tax at the rate of 20% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2022.
The Company’s tax provision for income taxes for interim periods is determined based on actual effective tax rate for the year to date.

10. | 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 June 30, 2022, the Company recorded liabilities of RUB 16 and RUB 13 ($0.3) respectively, in the accounts payable and accrued liabilities line in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for all of its legal matters that were probable and reasonably estimable.
As of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 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 862 ($16.8), respectively, and include, among others, claims for termination of contracts, consumer protection claims, claims for compensation in connection with car accidents, copyright infringement claims, employment related 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 has principal operations 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 and adversely affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, trading price, and ability to operate.
In June 2022 Arkady Volozh, the Company’s co-founder, resigned with immediate effect from his positions as Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of Yandex N.V. and from his board and executive positions with the Company’s international subsidiaries following his designation under the sanctions regime of the European Union. The European Union imposed sanctions on Mr. Volozh personally. Neither Yandex N.V. nor any of the Company’s
F-20
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)
subsidiaries have been included on the sanctions lists of the European Union, the United States or the United Kingdom. Mr Volozh is the settlor of a trust which holds Class B shares in Yandex N.V. for the benefit of his family; the trust will vote such shares in accordance with the recommendations of the independent members of Yandex N.V. board of directors. Mr. Volozh does not control the Company, and consequently these sanctions do not apply to Yandex N.V. or its subsidiaries.
In the ordinary course, 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. As of June 30, 2022, except for the unrecognized tax benefits described in Note 8, the Company accrued RUB 593 ($11.6) 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. Additionally, the Company has identified possible contingencies related to non-income taxes, which are not accrued. Such contingencies could materialize and require the Company to pay additional amounts of tax. As of June 30, 2022, the Company estimates such contingencies related to non-income taxes, including penalties and interest, to be up to approximately RUB 14,373 ($281.0) (RUB 24,396 as of December 31, 2021).
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 potential new sanctions or export controls and their impact on the Russian economy or our ability to operate in the ordinary course) 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 details on the Company’s risk exposure, see the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The Notes were convertible into cash, Class A shares of the Company or a combination of cash and Class A shares, at the Company's election, under certain circumstances based on an initial conversion price of $60.0751 per Class A share, subject to adjustment on the occurrence of certain events as defined in the terms and conditions of the Notes. On March 7, 2022, the Notes’ delisting event condition was satisfied as the trading of Company’s Class A shares on NASDAQ was suspended for five trading days. Therefore, the holders of the Notes had the right to require redemption of their Notes at par in the full amount of $1,250.0 plus accrued interest. The Company did not have the funds available to redeem the Notes in full. Thus, the Company engaged in active discussions with an ad hoc committee of holders of the Notes with a view to agreeing to a mutually acceptable restructuring of these obligations. In June 2022, following the amendment of Notes’ terms, the Company agreed terms with the ad hoc committee for the purchase of the Notes, and entered into a purchase agreement with holders of 93.2% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes. The purchase agreement provided for a purchase price of $140 thousand in cash (“cash component”) and 957 the Company’s Class A shares (“share consideration”) for each $200 thousand in principal amount of the Notes purchased. The purchase of 93.2% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes was completed on June 23 and 24, 2022. In addition, under the amendment of the Notes’ terms the Company was provided with a call option giving a right to redeem all the Notes ending on September 12, 2022, at the redemption price equal to the purchase price.

Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the share consideration of the purchase price when it will be permissible for the relevant shares to be delivered and received under applicable laws and regulations.
Based on consideration of all relevant circumstances, including indicators of financial difficulties and the amendment of Notes’ terms, the Company accounted for the modification of the Notes as a troubled debt restructuring as defined by ASC 470 and recognized a gain of $177.4 (RUB 9,305 as of the date of the transaction) as the difference between the carrying value of all the Notes (both repurchased in June and those under the call option to be redeemed before September 12, 2022) and the fair value of the purchase price paid and payable, including cash component and share consideration. The Company’s obligation in respect of the share consideration was reflected as an increase of additional paid-in capital in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022. In accordance with the reporting requirements of ASC 470, the Company measured the fair value of the share consideration with reference to its share price as quoted on the Moscow Exchange. The effect of the gain, net of tax, on basic and diluted net income/(loss) per Class A and Class B shares amounted to RUB 23.05 and 22.74, respectively for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
The carrying value of the Notes as of December 31, 2021 and June 30, 2022 consisted of the following:

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.
