| Total revenues | 7,273 | 10,218 | 40% | 19,948 | 27,416 | 37% |
Total revenues increased 40% compared with Q3 2012, while on a like-for-like basis, excluding revenues received from Yandex.Money operations in Q3 2012, total revenues increased 43% compared with Q3 2012.
Text-based advertising revenues, accounting for 92% of total revenues in Q3 2013, continued to determine overall top-line performance. The increase of 2 percentage points from Q2 2013, when text-based advertising accounted for 90% of total revenues, excluding revenues received from Yandex.Money, reflects our agreement with Mail.ru to power paid search results on Mail.ru properties effective July 1, 2013.
Text-based advertising revenues from Yandex's own websites accounted for 69% of total revenues during Q3 2013, and increased by 33% compared with Q3 2012.
Text-based advertising revenues from our ad network increased 82% compared with Q3 2012 and contributed 23% to total revenues during Q3 2013, compared with 16% of total revenues in Q2 2013, excluding the impact of Yandex.Money. The increase of partner network revenues share in total revenue, as well as the sharp increase in growth rates on the ad network, reflects our agreement with Mail.ru to power paid search results on Mail.ru properties effective July 1, 2013.
Paid clicks on Yandex's and its partners' websites, in aggregate, increased 50% in Q3 2013 compared with Q3 2012. Our average cost per click in Q3 2013 decreased 5% compared with Q3 2012.
Display advertising revenue, accounting for 8% of total revenues during Q3 2013, increased 35% compared with Q3 2012.
Online payment commissions represented just 0.1% of total revenues in Q3 2013 compared with 2% of total revenues in Q2 2013. Q3 2013 includes online payment commissions received by Yandex.Money during the first 4 days of July 2013, when we wholly owned PS Yandex.Money. On July 4, 2013, we completed our sale of 75% of Yandex.Money to Sberbank and the formation of our joint venture with Sberbank in respect of this business. On July 4, 2013, we deconsolidated Yandex.Money and will no longer show its online payment commissions as revenue. We now account for Yandex.Money using the equity method of accounting.
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 2013, Yandex added 393 full-time employees, an increase of 10% from June 30, 2013, and up 32% from September 30, 2012. The number of employees is provided on a like-for-like basis, excluding Yandex.Money employees for the previous periods.
The total number of full-time employees was 4,409 as of September 30, 2013.
Cost of revenues, including traffic acquisition costs (TAC)
| In RUR millions | Three months ended September 30, |
Nine months ended September 30, |
||||
| 2012 | 2013 | Change | 2012 | 2013 | Change | |
| TAC: | ||||||
| Related to the Yandex ad network | 814 | 1,644 | 102% | 2,200 | 3,354 | 52% |
| Related to distribution partners | 417 | 608 | 46% | 1,164 | 1,668 | 43% |
| Total TAC | 1,231 | 2,252 | 83% | 3,364 | 5,022 | 49% |
| Total TAC as a % of total revenues | 16.9% | 22.0% | 16.9% | 18.3% | ||
| Other cost of revenues | 614 | 679 | 11% | 1,748 | 2,043 | 17% |
| Other cost of revenues as a % of revenues | 8.4% | 6.6% | 8.8% | 7.5% | ||
| Total cost of revenues | 1,845 | 2,931 | 59% | 5,112 | 7,065 | 38% |
| Total cost of revenues as a % of revenues | 25.4% | 28.7% | 25.6% | 25.8% | ||
TAC increased from 18.8% of text-based revenues in Q3 2012 to 24.1% in Q3 2013, representing the increase in our Yandex ad network revenues as a share of total revenues for the period. The principal driver of the increase in TAC was our agreement to power paid search on Mail.ru.
Other cost of revenues in Q3 2013 increased 11% compared with Q3 2012, reflecting growth in personnel and data center-related costs, partly offset by a decrease in the cost of online payment commissions related to Yandex.Money.
Product development
| In RUR millions | Three months ended September 30, |
Nine months ended September 30, |
||||
| 2012 | 2013 | Change | 2012 | 2013 | Change | |
| Product development | 1,034 | 1,467 | 42% | 3,159 | 4,176 | 32% |
| As a % of revenues | 14.2% | 14.4% | 15.8% | 15.2% | ||
Growth in product development expenses in Q3 2013 primarily reflects an increase in the number of developers. Headcount in this category grew 34% from 1,897 at September 30, 2012 to 2,549 at September 30, 2013, on a like-for-like basis, excluding Yandex.Money employees for the prior period.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A)
| In RUR millions | Three months ended September 30, |
Nine months ended September 30, |
||||
| 2012 | 2013 | Change | 2012 | 2013 | Change | |
| Sales, general and administrative | 1,117 | 1,661 | 49% | 3,239 | 4,554 | 41% |
| As a % of revenues | 15.4% | 16.3% | 16.2% | 16.6% | ||
SG&A costs in Q3 2013 grew slightly faster than revenues compared to Q3 2012. The principal factor contributing to growth in this category in Q3 2013 was higher spend on advertising campaigns for newly launched products in Russia.
Share-based compensation (SBC) expense
SBC expense is included in each of the cost of revenues, product development and SG&A categories discussed above.
| In RUR millions | Three months ended September 30, |
Nine months ended September 30, |
||||
| 2012 | 2013 | Change | 2012 | 2013 | Change | |
| SBC expense included in cost of revenues | 7 | 20 | 186% | 19 | 43 | 126% |
| SBC expense included in product development | 59 | 134 | 127% | 151 | 307 | 103% |
| SBC expense included in SG&A | 40 | 75 | 88% | 91 | 181 | 99% |
| Total SBC expense | 106 | 229 | 116% | 261 | 531 | 103% |
| As a % of revenues | 1.5% | 2.2% | 1.3% | 1.9% | ||
Total SBC expense increased 116% in Q3 2013 compared with Q3 2012. The increase is primarily related to new equity-based grants made in 2012-2013.
Depreciation and amortization (D&A) expense
| In RUR millions |
Three months ended September 30, |
Nine months ended September 30, |
||||
| 2012 | 2013 | Change | 2012 | 2013 | Change | |
| Depreciation and amortization | 734 | 914 | 25% | 2,091 | 2,705 | 29% |
| As a % of revenues | 10.1% | 8.9% | 10.5% | 9.9% | ||
D&A expense increased 25% in Q3 2013 compared with Q3 2012, primarily reflecting investments in servers and data centers.
As a result of the factors described above, income from operations was RUR 3.2 billion ($100.3 million) in Q3 2013, a 28% increase from Q3 2012. Adjusted EBITDA reached RUR 4.4 billion ($136.4 million) in Q3 2013, up 28% from Q3 2012.
Interest income in Q3 2013 was RUR 483 million, up from RUR 268 million in Q3 2012, principally as a result of investing in Russia more of our cash provided by operating activities, thereby earning higher returns.
Foreign exchange loss in Q3 2013 was RUR 2 million, compared with a foreign exchange loss of RUR 13 million in Q3 2012. This loss is due to the appreciation of the U.S. dollar during Q3 2013 from RUR 32.7090 to $1.00 on June 30, 2013 to RUR 32.3451 to $1.00 on September 30, 2013. Yandex's Russian operating subsidiaries' functional currency is the Russian ruble, and therefore changes in the ruble value of these subsidiaries' monetary 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. Although the U.S. dollar value of Yandex's U.S. dollar-denominated assets and liabilities were not impacted by these currency fluctuations, they resulted in a downward revaluation of the ruble equivalent of these U.S. dollar-denominated monetary assets and liabilities in Q3 2013.
Other non-operating income in Q3 2013 was RUR 2.02 billion, primarily representing a gain from deconsolidation of Yandex.Money as a result of the sale of a 75% stake in Yandex.Money to Sberbank on July 4, 2013.
Income tax expense for Q3 2013 was RUR 783 million, up from RUR 667 million in Q3 2012. Our effective tax rate of 13.6% in Q3 2013 was significantly lower than in previous quarters, reflecting significant non-taxable gain from the sale of Yandex.Money in Q3 2013. Adjusted for this gain, our effective tax rate is 21.1%.
Adjusted net income in Q3 2013 was RUR 3.2 billion ($97.5 million), a 41% increase from Q3 2012.
Adjusted net income margin was 30.9% in Q3 2013, compared with 30.6% in Q3 2012.
Net income was RUR 5.0 billion ($153.6 million) in Q3 2013, up 117% compared with Q3 2012. The sharp growth in net income is a result of gain from the deconsolidation of Yandex.Money following the sale of a 75% stake in Yandex.Money to Sberbank on July 4, 2013.
As of September 30, 2013, Yandex had cash, cash equivalents, term deposits (including long-term deposits) and long-term debt securities of RUR 31.8 billion ($982.2 million).
Net operating cash flow and capital expenditures for Q3 2013 were RUR 3.2 billion ($101.8 million) and RUR 1.7 billion ($53.4 million), respectively.
The total number of shares issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2013 was 325,852,736, including 252,215,907 Class A shares, 73,636,828 Class B shares, and one Priority share and excluding 4,069,018 Class A shares held in treasury and all 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 employee share options outstanding to purchase up to an additional 6.5 million shares, at a weighted average exercise price of $5.09 per share, of which options to purchase 5.3 million shares were fully vested; equity-settled share appreciation rights equal to 1.5 million shares, at a weighted average measurement price of $25.52, 0.1 million of which were fully vested; and restricted share units covering 2.5 million shares, of which restricted share units to acquire 0.3 million shares were fully vested.
Outlook for 2013
We expect our full-year 2013 ruble-based revenue growth to be at the high end of the previously issued guidance of 34%-38% year-on-year.3
3 The guidance is provided on a like-for-like basis, excluding the revenue associated with Yandex.Money from both 2012 and 2013 results. In 2012, total revenue of RUR 28,767 million included RUR 552 million in payment commissions related to Yandex.Money. On July 4, 2013, Yandex and Sberbank announced the completion of the formation of their joint venture in respect of the Yandex.Money business. Accordingly, we deconsolidated Yandex.Money on July 4, 2013.

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 2013. 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, 2012, which is on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is available on our investor relations website at c and on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. All information in this release and in the attachments is as of October 24, 2013, 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 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 is payable through November 2013 to employees in connection with our acquisition of the mobile software business of SPB Software (described below) 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 (described below), and (3) foreign exchange losses (less foreign exchange gains) adjusted for the (reduction) increase in income tax attributable to the foreign exchange losses (gains); less gain from the sale and deconsolidation 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.
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 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.
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, $7.1 million of which was paid in November 2012 and $4.1 million of which was paid in February 2013; the remaining $2.9 million is payable in November 2013 upon the satisfaction of defined milestones. 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 the sale of our minority interest in face.com in connection with the sale of that company, and a gain in the quarter ended September 30, 2013 from deconsolidation of Yandex.Money following the sale of our 75% stake in Yandex.Money to Sberbank on July 4, 2013 and sale of marketable securities held on our balance sheet. We believe that it is useful to present adjusted net income and related margin measures excluding the effect of these significant items in order to provide a clearer picture of our underlying operating performance.
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.
