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, reflect aggressive investments in overall growth, particularly in talent. Full-time employees increased to 3,163 as of September 30, 2011, up 5% from June 30, 2011, and up 46% from September 30, 2010. Total share-based compensation expense increased 69% in Q3 2011, with the most pronounced increase in the product development category, as detailed below.

Other cost of revenues in Q3 2011 increased 77% compared with Q3 2010, reflecting an increase in datacenter-related costs and utilities, as well as content acquisition costs. The number of people employed in the departments allocated to costs of revenues increased 51%, from 211 as of September 30, 2010, to 319 as of September 30, 2011 with 31 employees added since June 30, 2011.

Total SBC expense increased 69% in Q3 2011 compared with Q3 2010, with the most pronounced increase in the product development category, reflecting amortization of recent share option grants to developers.
Depreciation and amortization (D&A) expense

As a % of revenues | 9.8% | 9.5% | 10.0% | 9.5% |
D&A expense increased 59% in Q3 2011 compared with Q3 2010, primarily reflecting previous-period investments in servers and data centers.
As a result of the movements described above, income from operations was RUR 1.8 billion ($55.9 million) in Q3 2011, a 52% increase from Q3 2010, while adjusted EBITDA reached RUR 2.3 billion ($73.3 million) in Q3 2011, up 54% from Q3 2010.
Interest income in Q3 2011 was RUR 47 million, up from RUR 43 million in Q3 2010. This modest increase, notwithstanding the receipt of the IPO proceeds, reflects lower effective interest rates.
Foreign exchange gain in Q3 2011 was RUR 383 million. This gain is due to the appreciation of the U.S. dollar during Q3 2011 from RUR 28.0758 to $1.00 on June 30, 2011 to RUR 31.8751 to $1.00 on September 30, 2011. This compares to a foreign exchange loss of RUR 70 million in Q3 2010, as the U.S. dollar depreciated from RUR 31.1954 to $1.00 on June 30, 2010 to RUR 30.403 to $1.00 on September 30, 2010. Because the functional currency of Yandex's operating subsidiaries in Russia is the Russian ruble, changes in the ruble value of these subsidiaries' monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in other currencies (primarily U.S. dollar-denominated cash, cash equivalents and term deposits maintained in Russia) due to exchange rate fluctuations are recognized as foreign exchange gains or losses in the income statement. Although 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, they resulted in upward and downward revaluations, respectively, of the ruble equivalent of these U.S dollar-denominated monetary assets in Q3 2011 and Q3 2010.
Income tax expense for Q3 2011 was RUR 484 million, up from RUR 273 million in Q3 2010. Our effective tax rate decreased from 23.6% in Q3 2010 to 22.1% in Q3 2011, primarily reflecting 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. However, under the new treasury policy, management does not currently expect the company's Russian operating subsidiary to pay dividends to the parent company out of 2011 earnings. Therefore, no accrual for dividend withholding tax is required for 2011.
Adjusted net income in Q3 2011 was RUR 1.5 billion ($45.8 million), a 49% increase from Q3 2010, broadly in-line with the underlying operating results. It was positively impacted by a change in the effective income tax rate resulting from the elimination of the dividend withholding tax accrual, offset by lower effective interest rates impacting interest income. Adjusted net income margin was 28.3% in Q3 2011, compared to 31.2% in Q3 2010.
Net income was RUR 1.7 billion ($53.5 million) in Q3 2011, up 93% compared with Q3 2010. The higher growth in net income compared with adjusted net income was primarily the result of a RUR 383 million foreign exchange gain in Q3 2011 compared to a RUR 70 million foreign exchange loss in Q3 2010.
As of September 30, 2011, Yandex had cash, cash equivalents, term deposits (including long-term deposits) and debt securities of RUR 20.7 billion ($650.5 million).
Net operating cash flow and capital expenditures for Q3 2011 were RUR 2,129 billion ($66.8 million) and RUR 1,711 billion ($53.7 million), respectively.
The total number of shares issued and outstanding on September 30, 2011 was 322,995,027, including 141,789,734 Class A shares, 181,205,292 Class B shares, and one Priority share. There were also options outstanding to purchase up to an additional 15.7 million shares, at a weighted average exercise price of $4.20 per share, of which options to purchase 9.7 million shares were fully vested.
Outlook for the Full Year 2011
Yandex expects to report revenue at the high end of its previously announced range, representing ruble-based year-on-year revenue growth of 58%-60% for the full year 2011. The company reconfirmed that capital expenditures in 2011 should approach RUR 6.3 billion.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These include statements regarding the planned growth of our business and our anticipated revenue and capital expenditures for full-year 2011. 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 the legal and regulatory environment, technological developments, unforeseen changes in our hiring patterns, 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 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Prospectus dated May 24, 2011, which is on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is available on our investor relations website at http://company.yandex.com/investor_relations/sec_filing.xml and on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. All information provided in this release and in the attachments is as of October 27, 2011, and 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 U.S. 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 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 revenue means U.S. GAAP revenues less total traffic acquisition costs (TAC).
- Adjusted EBITDA means net income plus (1) depreciation and amortization, (2) share-based compensation expense and (3) provision for income taxes, less (A) interest income and (B) other income/(expense).
- Adjusted EBITDA margin means adjusted EBITDA divided by U.S. GAAP revenues.
- Adjusted ex-TAC EBITDA margin means adjusted EBITDA divided by ex-TAC revenue.
- Adjusted net income means U.S. GAAP net income plus (1) SBC expense adjusted for the income tax reduction attributable to SBC expense and (2) foreign exchange losses (less foreign exchange gains) adjusted for the increase (reduction) in income tax attributable to the foreign exchange gain (loss).
- Adjusted net income margin means adjusted net income divided by U.S. GAAP revenues.
- Adjusted ex-TAC net income margin means adjusted net income margin 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.
In particular, 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 but, unlike sales commissions, 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. In addition, SBC is a significant expense item, and an important part of our compensation and incentive programs. However, as it is a non-cash charge, and highly dependent on our share price at the time of option 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. Finally, as we hold significant assets in currencies other than our Russian ruble operating currency, and as 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.
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 U.S. GAAP financial measure.
