MOSCOW (Reuters) – Russian internet giant Yandex reported a 36% rise in first-quarter revenue to 276.8 billion roubles ($2.85 billion), driven by growth in e-commerce and its search and portal business.
Adjusted net profit for the quarter jumped by 118% to 25.1 billion roubles, while adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation, reached 54.7 billion roubles.
A Russian consortium of buyers in July finalised a $5.4 billion cash and shares deal to acquire Yandex’s Russia-based assets, which had been held through Nasdaq-listed Dutch parent Yandex NV, the largest corporate exit since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, albeit at a hefty discount.
