YANDEX N.V.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In millions of Russian rubles and U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business

Yandex N.V., the parent company (the "Company"), together with its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively "Yandex" or the "Group"), 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 businesses 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

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted 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 months ended March 31, 2023 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, 2022.

In the opinion of the Group, 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
March 31, 2023, 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, 2022, was derived from the consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022.

There have been no material changes in the Group's significant accounting policies and estimates as compared to those described in the Group's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The results for the three months ended March 31, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 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 Group's business, operations or governance; changes in the political, legal and/or regulatory environment; competitive pressures; changes in advertising patterns; changes in user preferences; technological developments; and the Group's need to expend capital to accommodate the growth of the business in addition to other risks and uncertainties included under "Risk Factors" in the Group's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of 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 consolidated financial statements and amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. The Group bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.

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 77.0863 to $1.00, the exchange rate as of March 31, 2023 (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.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-04, "Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations", which requires entities that use supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services to disclose key terms of the programs.

does not affect the recognition, measurement or financial statement presentation of supplier finance program obligations. The amendments in this ASU are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, except for the amendment on rollforward information, which is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2023. The Group adopted the standard effective on January 1, 2023, without significant impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

2. NET INCOME/(LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic net income/(loss) per Class A and Class B ordinary share for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2023 is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding using the two-class method. Basic net income/(loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period and including vested restricted share units and shares that will be delivered as part of the restructuring of the convertible debt in June 2022. Diluted net income/(loss) per ordinary share is computed using the dilutive effect of share-based awards calculated using the "treasury stock" method.

The computation of the diluted net income/(loss) per Class A share assumes the conversion of Class B shares, while the diluted net income/(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 income/(loss) per ordinary share computation, because their effect was anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2023, was 18,287,953 and 7,723,032, respectively.

In June 2022, the Group completed the repurchase of 93.2% in aggregate principal amount of the Group's 0.75% convertible notes due to March 3, 2025 (the "Notes") and accounted for the modification of all the Notes. The Group has to date purchased more than 99% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued. Prior to the modification, the convertible debt 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:

There are no assets pledged or other forms of guarantees provided as security under the program. Liabilities accrued under reverse factoring programs are included in the accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities line in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, because the program does not significantly extend payment terms beyond the normal terms agreed with other of the Group's marketplace sellers that are not participating. The Group's payments made under the program are reflected in cash flow from operating activities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, the Group is a party to various legal proceedings and subject to claims, certain of which relate to the alleged breach of certain contractual arrangements. The Group 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 any material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or liquidity of the Group.

As of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, the Group recorded liabilities of RUB 726 and RUB 900 ($11.7) respectively, in the accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities and other accrued liabilities lines of the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for all pending legal matters that were probable and reasonably estimable.

As of December 31, 2022 and March 31, 2023, the Group was subject to various legal and regulatory matters that have arisen in the normal course of business. Related claims amounted to RUB 813 and RUB 329 ($4.3), respectively. The Group has not recognized a liability in respect of those claims because management does not believe that the Group has incurred a probable material loss by reason of any of those matters.

Environment and Current Economic Situation

The Group has principal operations in Russia, and smaller, early-stage businesses that operate internationally. Current geopolitical tensions and their impact on the Russian and global economy have created an exceptionally challenging environment for the Group's business, team and shareholders.

These developments have adversely impacted (and may in the future materially adversely impact) the macroeconomic climate in Russia, resulting in volatility of the ruble, currency controls, materially increased interest rates and inflation and a potential contraction in consumer spending, as well as the withdrawal of foreign businesses and suppliers from the Russian market. In addition, laws or regulations may be adopted that may adversely affect the Group's non-Russian shareholders and the value of the shares they hold in the Group. For additional details on the Group's risk exposure, see the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Taxes are subject to review and investigation by a number of authorities authorized by law to impose fines and penalties. Although the Group believes it has provided adequately for all tax liabilities based on its understanding of the

F-17

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)

tax legislation, the above factors may create tax risks for the Group. As of March 31, 2023, except for the unrecognized tax benefits described in Note 8, the Group accrued RUB 11,839 ($153.6) (RUB 10,913 as of December 31, 2022) for contingencies related to non-income taxes, including penalties and interest of RUB 2,772 ($36.0) and RUB 2,439 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, as a component of other accrued liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, the Group has identified possible contingencies related to non-income taxes, which are not accrued. Such contingencies could materialize and require the Group to pay additional amounts of tax. As of March 31, 2023, the Group estimates such contingencies related to non-income taxes, including penalties and interest, to be up to approximately RUB 33,911 ($439.9) (RUB 25,232 as of December 31, 2022).

In January 2023, the Company modified the terms of Yandex N.V. RSU awards and extended the program into 2023 to provide an opportunity for all holders of RSUs to exchange the portion of outstanding awards that would otherwise have vested in 2023 for cash bonuses. Equity awards in respect of an aggregate of approximately 2.7 million RSUs were exchanged. The replacement cash payments were payable in accordance with the original 2023 vesting schedules in respect of the exchanged RSUs. The exchange was accounted for as a modification of equity awards, resulting in additional share-based compensation expense of RUB 6,484 ($84.1), excluding tax effect, of which RUB 1,798 ($23.3) is recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The accrued liability associated with the replacement cash payment in the amount of RUB 2,164 ($28.1) is included in accounts payable, accrued and other liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2023.

As of March 31, 2023, there was RUB 19,333 ($250.8) of unamortized share-based compensation expense related to unvested share options, RSUs and PSUs which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.49 years.

Synthetic Options Equity Incentive Plans and Business Unit Equity Awards

The Company granted share-based awards to the employees of several business units, comprised of a synthetic option awards in respect of the relevant business unit ("Synthetic Options") and a linked RSU award. Synthetic Options entitle the participants to receive phantom or synthetic "shares" in the relevant business unit, which represent the participant's right to an amount (the "Payout Amount") based on the appreciation in value of the synthetic "shares" from the grant date to the vesting or exercise date. Such Payout Amounts are satisfied by the vesting of the linked RSU award, which are ultimately settled in the Company's Class A shares. Generally, 25% of the Synthetic Options vest after one year, with the remaining vesting in equal amounts on the last day of each quarter over the following three years.

The Company also granted equity incentive awards under the 2016 Plan to the senior employees of certain business units, which entitle the participants to receive options to acquire redeemable depositary receipts of shares in the respective operating subsidiaries upon the satisfaction of defined vesting criteria (the "Business Unit Equity Awards"). The exercise price of the Business Unit Equity Awards is determined from time to time by the Board and the standard vesting schedule for Business Unit Equity Awards under the 2016 Plan is consistent with Share-Based Awards granted in the Company's shares.

13. SEGMENTINFORMATION

The Group determined its operating segments based on how the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") manages the business, allocates resources, makes operating decisions and evaluates operating performance. The Group determined the following operating and reportable segments: Search and Portal, E-commerce, Mobility and Delivery, Plus and Entertainment Services and Classifieds. The results of the Group's remaining operating segments, including self-driving vehicles business ("Yandex SDG"), Zen (until disposal on September 12, 2022), Yandex Cloud, Yandex Education, Devices and Alice, FinTech and number of other experiments, that do not meet quantitative or qualitative thresholds for disclosure, as well as unallocated corporate expenses, are combined into a final category defined as Other Business Units and Initiatives which is shown separately from the reportable segments and reconciling items.

Starting 2023, the Group introduced the following changes to its segments compared to those presented within the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, in order to better reflect the operational structure of the businesses:

the Group renamed the Devices segment within Other Business Units and Initiatives category to Devices and Alice;
the Group transferred the following services from the Search and Portal segment to the Other Business Units and Initiatives category: Yandex 360 to Yandex Cloud, Alice voice assistance to Devices and Alice, and Yandex Pay and Yandex ID to FinTech; and
the Group transferred RouteQ from the Other Business Units and Initiatives category to the Delivery services business within the E-Commerce, Mobility and Delivery segment.

These changes have been applied retroactively to all periods presented.

Reportable segments derive revenues from the following services:

the Search and Portal segment includes Search, Geo, Weather and a number of other services offered in Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan;
the E-commerce, Mobility and Delivery segment includes transactional online-to-offline (O2O) businesses, which consist of (i) the mobility businesses, including ride-hailing in Russia and other countries across CIS and EMEA, Yandex Drive, the car-sharing business for both B2C and B2B, and scooters; (ii) the E-commerce businesses in Russia and CIS, including Yandex Market, multi-category e-commerce marketplace, Yandex Lavka Russia, a hyperlocal convenience store delivery service, and the grocery delivery services of Yandex Eats and Delivery Club; and (iii) other O2O businesses,

F-20

YANDEX N.V.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

including Yandex Delivery, a last- and middle-mile logistics solution for individuals, enterprises and SMB (small and medium business); Yandex Eats and Delivery Club Food Delivery, a ready-to-eat delivery service direct from restaurants; Lavka Israel, a hyperlocal convenience store delivery service; and Yandex Fuel, a contactless payment service at gas stations, as well as several smaller experiments;
the Plus and Entertainment Services segment includes the subscription service Yandex Plus, Yandex Music, Kinopoisk, Yandex Afisha and the production center Yandex Studio; and
the Classifieds segment includes Auto.ru, Yandex Realty, Yandex Rent and Yandex Travel.

Such compensation represents intersegment transactions, which are included in revenues of the reportable segments presented below. The Group considers it to be impracticable to separately present revenues from external customers and intersegment transactions for each reportable segment as such information is not readily available and is not presented to the CODM.

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.
