30 compared with Q2 2017.
Other cost of revenues in Q3
2017 increased 38% compared with Q3 2016, primarily due to an

outsourced services related to the increased usage of our
crowdsourcing platform Toloka and content acquisition costs related
to Media Services.

Adjusted EBITDA of Taxi was negative RUB 3,168 million in Q3
2017, compared with negative RUB 1,966 million in Q2 2017. The
increase in Taxi spending was mainly related to an increase in our
advertising and marketing costs, related to geographical expansion,
as well as one-off accruals for professional services, related to
the Yandex.Taxi and Uber transaction.
Interest income in Q3
2017 was RUB 732 million, up from RUB 646 million in Q3 2016.
Interest expense in Q3 2017
was RUB 226 million, down from RUB 295 million in Q3 2016.
Foreign exchange loss in Q3
2017 was RUB 609 million, compared with a foreign exchange loss of
RUB 432 million in Q3 2016. This loss reflects the appreciation of
the Russian ruble during Q3 2017 from RUB 59.0855 to $1.00 on June
30, 2017, to RUB 58.0169 to $1.00 on September 30, 2017. Yandex's
Russian operating subsidiaries' functional currency is the Russian
ruble, and therefore changes due to exchange rate fluctuations in
the ruble value of these subsidiaries' monetary assets and
liabilities that are denominated in other currencies are recognized
as foreign exchange gains or losses within the Other gain, net line
in the condensed consolidated statements of income. Although the
U.S. dollar value of Yandex's U.S. dollar-denominated assets and
liabilities was not impacted by these currency fluctuations, they
resulted in an downward revaluation of the ruble equivalent of
these U.S. dollar-denominated monetary assets and liabilities in Q3
2017.
Income tax expense for Q3 2017
was RUB 874 million, down from RUB 1,243 million in Q3 2016. Our
effective tax rate of 50.6% in Q3 2017 was higher than in Q3 2016,
primarily due to the effects of certain tax provisions recognized
in Q3 2017. Adjusted for these effects and SBC expense, our
effective tax rate for Q3 2017 was 26.2%, compared with 23.4% for
full year 2016 as adjusted for SBC expense and similar provisions
in that year. The increase in the adjusted effective tax rate was
primarily driven by a change in the contributions to our earnings
before tax from different jurisdictions.
Net income was RUB 0.9 billion
($14.7 million) in Q3 2017, down 65% compared with Q3 2016, mainly
due to increase of SGA expenses in Q3 2017.
Adjusted net income in Q3 2017
was RUB 2.4 billion ($40.9 million), a 37% decrease from Q3
2016.
Adjusted net income margin was
10.1% in Q3 2017, compared with 19.7% in Q3 2016.
As of September 30, 2017, Yandex had cash, cash
equivalents and term deposits of RUB 66.6 billion
($1,148.7 million).
Net cash flow provided by operating
activities for Q3 2017 was RUB 3.3 billion ($56.3
million) and capital expenditures
were RUB 2.1 billion ($36.1 million).
During Q3 2017 there were no repurchases of convertible debt
notes.
Redeemable noncontrolling
interests presented in our condensed consolidated
balance sheets relate to the equity incentive arrangements we have
made available to the senior employees of the Taxi, Classifieds and
E-commerce segments, pursuant to which such persons are eligible to
acquire depositary receipts, or receive options to acquire
depositary receipts, which entitle them to economic interests in
the respective business unit subsidiaries.
The total number of shares issued and
outstanding as of September 30, 2017 was
325,775,802 including 280,922,067 Class A shares, 44,853,734 Class
B shares, and one Priority share and excluding 4,280,952 Class A
shares held in treasury and all Class C shares outstanding solely
as a result of the 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 1.1 million shares, at a weighted average
exercise price of $5.35 per share, all of which were fully vested;
equity-settled share appreciation rights (SARs) for 0.2 million
shares, at a weighted average measurement price of $32.03, all of
which, excluding SARs for approximately 1,000 shares, were fully
vested; and restricted share units (RSUs) covering 9.4 million

Please note that historical information on revenues and adjusted
EBITDA of our segments is provided in the supplementary slides
accompanying our Q3 2017 earnings release, including quarterly data
for the eleven quarters from Q1 2015 through Q3 2017 and annual

Financial outlook
Based on our current outlook, we are raising our revenue growth
outlook for the calendar year 2017. We currently expect our
ruble-based revenue to grow 22% to 23% for the full year 2017. This
outlook reflects our current view, based on the trends that we see
at this time, and may change in light of market and economic
developments in the business sectors and jurisdictions in which we
operate.

undertakes no duty to update this information unless required by

USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL
MEASURES
To supplement our condensed consolidated financial statements,
which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we
present the following non-GAAP financial measures: ex-TAC revenues,
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 revenues means U.S.
GAAP revenues less total traffic acquisition costs (TAC)
- Adjusted EBITDA means U.S.
GAAP net income plus (1) depreciation and amortization,
(2) SBC expense, (3) accrual of expense related to the
contingent compensation that may be payable to employees in
connection with certain business combinations, (4) interest
expense, (5) other loss, net, (6) operating losses resulting from
sanctions in Ukraine imposed in May 2017 and (7) provision for
income taxes, less interest income
- Adjusted EBITDA margin means
adjusted EBITDA divided by U.S. GAAP revenues
- Adjusted ex-TAC EBITDA margin
means adjusted EBITDA divided by ex-TAC revenues
- Adjusted net income means
U.S. 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 certain business
combinations, (3) foreign exchange losses adjusted for reduction in
income tax attributable to the foreign exchange losses, (4)
amortization of debt discount related to our convertible debt
adjusted for the related reduction in income tax and (5) losses
resulting from sanctions in Ukraine imposed in May 2017 less
gains/losses from repurchases of our convertible notes adjusted for
the related increase/reduction in income tax
- Adjusted net income margin
means adjusted net income divided by U.S. 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 recurring costs, particularly share-based
compensation. 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
U.S. GAAP financial measures:
TAC
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.
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 clearer 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 U.S. GAAP to accrue as expense
the contingent compensation that is payable to certain employees in
connection with certain business combinations. We eliminate these
acquisition-related expenses 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 losses
Because we hold significant assets and liabilities 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.
Amortization of debt discount
We also adjust net income for interest expense representing
amortization of the debt discount related to our convertible notes
issued in Q4 2013 and Q1 2014.We have eliminated this expense from
adjusted net income as it is non-cash in nature and is not
indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
Gains and losses from repurchases of convertible debt
Adjusted net income for Q3 2016 also excludes a gain from the
repurchase of $4.6 million in principal of our 1.125% convertible
senior notes due 2018 for approximately $4.5 million. We have
eliminated this gain from adjusted net income as it is not
indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
Losses resulting from sanctions in Ukraine
Adjusted net income and adjusted EBITDA exclude losses and gains
from write-off of assets and liabilities in our Ukrainian legal
entities that we recorded in Q2 2017. In May 2017, the government
of Ukraine imposed sanctions on our Ukrainian operations. The
sanctions resulted in the freezing of the assets held by our
Ukrainian legal entities and restricting our services in Ukraine.
We believe that it is useful to present adjusted net income and
adjusted EBITDA measures excluding the one-off impact of these
events, which are not related to our operating activities.
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.
