Text-based advertising revenues, accounting for 88% of total revenues in Q2 2013, continued to determine overall top-line performance.

Text-based advertising revenues from Yandex's own websites accounted for 73% of total revenues during Q2 2013, and increased by 37% compared with Q2 2012. Text-based advertising revenues from our ad network increased 25% compared with Q2 2012 and contributed 15% of total revenues during Q2 2013. Revenues from Yandex websites grew faster than those from our ad network as we implemented changes to our advertising technologies on our owned and operated sites.   

Paid clicks on Yandex's and its partners' websites, in aggregate, increased 29% in Q2 2013 compared with Q2 2012. Our average cost per click in Q2 2013 increased 5% compared with Q2 2012.

Display advertising revenue accounted for 9% of total revenues during Q2 2013, and increased 31% compared with Q2 2012. 

Online payment commissions accounted for 2% of revenues during Q2 2013, and increased 57% compared with Q2 2012. In July 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. From Q3 2013, we will deconsolidate Yandex.Money and no longer recognize its online payment commissions as revenue.

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 investments in overall growth, including personnel. In Q2 2013, Yandex added 326 full-time employees, an increase of 8% from March 31, 2013, and up 24% from June 30, 2012. The total number of full-time employees was 4,298 as of June 30, 2013.

Cost of revenues, including traffic acquisition costs (TAC)

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

Total cost of revenues as a % of revenues 25.7% 23.5%   25.8% 24.0%  

TAC decreased from 18.9% of text-based revenues in Q2 2012 to 18.0% in Q2 2013, reflecting the larger growth in revenues from our own sites.

Other cost of revenues in Q2 2013 increased 14% compared with Q2 2012, reflecting growth in personnel, content acquisition costs and data center-related costs.

Product development 

In RUR millions Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30,
  2012 2013 Change 2012 2013 Change
Product development 1,059 1,381 30% 2,125 2,709 27%
As a % of revenues 15.6% 15.0%   16.8% 15.8%  

The absolute increase in product development expenses in Q2 2013 was in line with increases in product development staff and employee compensation. Product development headcount increased 25% from 1,899 as of June 30, 2012, to 2,365 as of June 30, 2013, with 184 employees added since March 31, 2013.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A)

In RUR millions Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30,
  2012 2013 Change 2012 2013 Change
Sales, general and administrative 1,052 1,530 45% 2,122 2,893 36%
As a % of revenues 15.5% 16.6%   16.7% 16.8%  

The absolute increase in SG&A in Q2 2013 was driven primarily by increased advertising and marketing expenses in Russia and 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.

In RUR millions Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30,
  2012 2013 Change 2012 2013 Change
SBC expense included in cost of revenues 6 12 100% 12 23 92%
SBC expense included in product development 53 91 72% 92 173 88%
SBC expense included in SG&A 15 48 220% 51 106 108%
Total SBC expense 74 151 104% 155 302 95%
As a % of revenues 1.1% 1.6%   1.2% 1.8%  

Total SBC expense increased 104% in Q2 2013 compared with Q2 2012. The increase is primarily related to new equity-based grants issued in 2012.

Depreciation and amortization (D&A) expense

In RUR millions Three months ended June 30, Six months ended June 30,
  2012 2013 Change 2012 2013 Change
Depreciation and amortization 696 912 31% 1,357 1,791 32%
As a % of revenues 10.2% 9.9%   10.7% 10.4%  

D&A expense increased 31% in Q2 2013 compared with Q2 2012, primarily reflecting our investments in servers and data centers made last year.

As a result of the factors described above, income from operations was RUR 3.2 billion ($98.4 million) in Q2 2013, a 43% increase from Q2 2012, while adjusted EBITDA reached RUR 4.3 billion ($131.6 million) in Q2 2013, up 40% from Q2 2012.

Interest income in Q2 2013 was RUR 452 million, up from RUR 234 million in Q2 2012, principally as a result of investing more of our cash provided by operating activities in Russia, where our investments earn higher returns.

Foreign exchange gain in Q2 2013 was RUR 35 million, compared to a foreign exchange gain of RUR 52 million in Q2 2012. The foreign exchange gain is due to the appreciation of the U.S. dollar during Q2 2013 from RUR 31.0834 to $1.00 on March 31, 2013 to RUR 32.7090 to $1.00 on June 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 an upward revaluation of the ruble equivalent of these U.S. dollar-denominated monetary assets and liabilities in Q2 2013.

Income tax expense for Q2 2013 was RUR 772 million, up from RUR 549 million in Q2 2012. Our effective tax rate decreased from 21.7% in Q2 2012 to 20.9% in Q2 2013.

Adjusted net income in Q2 2013 was RUR 3.1 billion ($93.5 million), a 48% increase from Q2 2012.

Adjusted net income margin was 33.2% in Q2 2013, compared to 30.4% in Q2 2012.

Net income was RUR 2.9 billion ($89.1 million) in Q2 2013, up 47% compared with Q2 2012. Net income grew slower than adjusted net income due to an increase in SBC expense partially offset by large swings in foreign exchange gains and the associated income tax impact and a decrease in contingent compensation payable the recent period in connection with an acquisition in 2011. We adjust for these expenses in our non-GAAP adjusted net income measure.

As of June 30, 2013, Yandex had cash, cash equivalents, term deposits (including long-term deposits) and long-term debt securities of RUR 30.8 billion ($940.1 million).

Net operating cash flow and capital expenditures for Q2 2013 were RUR 4.0 billion ($122.2 million) and RUR 0.7 billion ($20.9 million), respectively.

The total number of shares issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2013 was 326,409,208, including 231,020,637 Class A shares, 95,388,570 Class B shares, and one Priority share and excluding 3,512,546 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 8.1 million shares, at a weighted average exercise price of $4.58 per share, of which options to purchase 6.5 million shares were fully vested; equity-settled share appreciation rights equal to 0.9 million shares, at a weighted average measurement price of $20.36, 0.1 million of which were fully vested; and restricted share units covering  2.6 million shares, of which restricted share units to acquire 0.1 million shares were fully vested. 

Outlook for 2013

We are raising our revenue guidance for the full-year 2013, and we now expect year-on-year ruble-based revenue growth of 34-38%.1

1The guidance is provided on a like-for-like basis, excluding the revenue associated with Yandex.Money from both 2012 and 2013 results. In 2012, Yandex recognized total revenue of RUR 28,767 million, including RUR 552 million in payment commissions related to Yandex.Money and RUR 28,215 million in advertising revenue and other revenue. 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 will deconsolidate Yandex.Money in Q3 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 http://ir.yandex.com/sec.cfm and on the SEC website at www.sec.gov. All information in this release and in the attachments is as of July 25, 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 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); less 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.

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 year ended December 31, 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.

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.
