Time to End the Cold War:
Why Google Should Acquire Yandex
By Charles Worthman
Executive Summary

CONFIDENTIAL
Executive Summary – Google Should Acquire Yandex
Google, which essentially invented modern online advertising, still earns almost all of the company’s revenue
from advertising making Google as much an advertising company as an innovative tech company
Search is the main driver of Google’s advertising revenues and thus its cash flows
According to the company’s core philosophy the main competency of Google is search. Google states:
“With one of the world’s largest research groups focused exclusively on solving search problems, we know what we do well, and how we could do it better.
Through continued iteration on difficult problems, we’ve been able to solve complex issues and provide continuous improvements to a service that already
makes finding information a fast and seamless experience for millions of people. Our dedication to improving search helps usapply what we’ve learned to new
products, like Gmail and Google Maps. Our hope is to bring the power of search to previously unexplored areas, and to help people access and use even more of
the ever-expanding information in their lives.”
In almost all markets around the world users have voted and Google is clearly the best search company in the
world with a market share of over between 65% and 88% worldwide depending on the source
Yet in a few major internet markets in the world Google is not the dominant search engine: China where Baidu
has over 60% of the market, South Korea where Naver is used by about 70% of users and Russia where Yandex, the
“Google of Russia” has a market share of 62% - 64% depending on the source
China is not a market Google can enter in a big way due to well publicized censor concerns, leaving only
South Korea and Russia as markets where Google has not managed to achieve dominance despite best efforts
Google should acquire Yandex to obtain dominance in the Russian market
Based in the Netherland’s Yandex adheres to relatively strict requirements for accounting and other
procedures vs. other Russian based companies

CONFIDENTIAL
Executive Summary – Google Should Acquire Yandex
“There are very few companies in the world that can
compete with Google, and Yandex is one of them and the
only one in Europe.” Konstantin Belov, an analyst at
UralSib Financial Corp.
“Yandex's algorithm accounts for the intricacies of Russian
grammar, where the same word can have dozens of
different endings depending on its place in a sentence.” –
BusinessWeek
“Yandex is geared to structural growth in internet advertising
as the Russian market sees higher internet penetration and
higher share of ad budgets moving away from traditional
media to new media. We expect rapid growth of the internet
advertising sector and Yandex to stay in the lead in paid
search.” – Bank of America Merrill Lynch“It’s remarkable that there are fewer countries with their own
search engines today than those with their own space
program.” Dmitry Grishin, Co-Founder and CEO of Mail.Ru
Group
“Russia is a key market, with more internet users than any
other country in Europe. But participants clearly must be
ready to play by a whole other set of rules and against
especially well-entrenched competitors.” – Wired Magazine
“In some directions, Yandex is even ahead of Google, for
example, the Yandex real-time traffic monitoring service
launched 4 years before Google could offer a similar service
to its Russian users.” - Sergey Kuznetsov HSE‘s School of
Applied Mathematics and Information Science
“Of course, Yandex’s leadership might not be eternal.
Google could significantly reduce the gap with a strong team
and sufficient investment on the Russian market. But it is
difficult to imagine Google seriously threatening Yandex
positions in the next 5 to 7 years.” - Andrey Zotov, East-
West Digital News co-founder:
“In the medium or long term, Google has its chance,
especially if Google will make some special deal with
leading telecoms. It won’t be easy, however, since Yandex is
a well structured company and it will be almost impossible
for anyone to win the search competition with Yandex. The
best Cyrillic search results will keep users around Yandex for
a long time to come.” - Alexander Galitsky, co-founder and
managing partner at Almaz Capital Partners

Experienced Management
 Yandex is run by a very experienced team
of computer scientists
 Yandex has been around as long as
Google and has a team that is much more
experienced in Russian, the second most
popular web language
Patent Portfolio & Search
Knowledge Helpful to Google
 Yandex has a large patent and IP portfolio
from its years in the internet business
 Having been in the search business as
long as Google, Yandex’s knowledge and
team would be an asset to Google
Russian Mobile Is A Big Opportunity
 Despite having the highest wireless
penetration rate in Europe, Russia’s
Smartphone penetration is low
 For key areas like social, video and apps
Russia is one of the most active countries
 Unlike the U.S., Android has a higher tablet
market share than iOS in Russia
Gives Google Immediate
Dominance in Russia
 Yandex is the search leader in Russia with
62% market share in the country
 Has 54 million unique visitors a month in
Russia alone
 Has 241K advertisers and over 50% of
online ad market share
Significant Initial Synergies Make
Acquisition Cheap For Google
 A large number of overlapping product
focuses leads to significant synergies
 The transaction is accretive on both a
GAAP and a cash basis without including
significant additional revenue opportunities
in Russia from being a combined firm
Russia Is An Attractive Market
 Russia is the top internet market in Europe
by number of users and 6th in the world
 With only about 50% penetration there is
still plenty of room for growth
 With ecommerce penetration of 1.9%
Russia is set for advertising growth despite
already being a top digital advertiser

Yandex is a Clear Leader in the Russian Internet Sector
Yandex is the clear leader in Russian search and a strong
player worldwide despite only being active on the
Russian speaking internet and now in Turkey
Yandex powers the paid search feature on Mail.ru so the
site is not an actual competitor to Yandex
Yandex’s share on mobile is over 50% on Android and
40% on iOS. The iOS share is expected to surge after
Yandex’s partnership with Apple
In 2012, Yandex’s audience exceeded the viewership of
Russia’s most popular TV station

Yandex Firing On All Cylinders
• In Q3 2013, Yandex grew 2.2% YOY in share of search on all platforms and 25% YOY growth in number of search
result pages mostly from increased search intensity per user
• Yandex’s share of the search market in Russia stands at 62% a growth of 1.5% YOY
• Advertising clients have grown 24% YOY to 261,000 while ARPU grew 15% YOY
• Paid clicks are growing at a rate of 50% YOY as of Q3 2013
• Revenue is growing at a rate of 35% to 38% according to Yandex, with Q3 2013 showing over 40% YOY growth
Yandex is Growing
Quickly
• Yandex recently signed partnerships with very important partners like Mail.ru, Twitter, Apple, Cooliris, Rambler
and Skrill, among others; The Mail.ru partnership has great terms with Yandex only paying through TAC costs
• Mail.ru the hugely popular Russian portal recently announced that they would stop utilizing Google to power its
own search engine further hurting Google’s position in Russia by using Yandex for paid search
• These partnerships, especially with Google competitors like Apple and Twitter could be transformative for Yandex
and certainly cement Yandex’sposition while the Mail.ru partnership cements Yandex’s #1 search position
• By acquiring Yandex, Google nips these partnerships in the bud or takes them on, both of which would nullify any
negative problems from the partnerships
Yandex Partnerships
Strengthen Company
• Having launched Yandex Browser only a year ago Yandex now has about 6% total browser share in Russia
• Even in Google’s own Chrome Yandex is dominant with 54.6% market share despite Google being the default
browser in Chrome (meaning users have to consciously shift)
• Yandex is progressing well in mobile with 15% of search traffic coming from mobile and 11% of search revenues
• Yandex now has over 60% market share in Android (from 47% just a quarter ago) and 40% in iOS (from 30%)
Yandex Doing Well In
Areas Google Should
Dominate
• Yandex is trying to launch key unique products outside of search
• Yandex recently announced a new cost per action model for Yandex.Market where Yandex will charge merchants
1% from every transaction made through the market (compared to 8-10% at eBay and others). Yandex will offer
enhanced conversion of visitors into buyers through increased user experiences and enhanced credit card safety
by having users store their credit card information in Yandex (which will also have obvious benefits for Yandex too)
• Already 100 sites have already signed up and another 1,000 have expressed interest
Yandex Is Introducing
New Products

CONFIDENTIAL
Russia is an important language market for Google
• Russia’s online ad market is growing at about 30% YOY with the contextual market growing even quicker at 38%
YOY; Many individual platforms are growing at even quicker rates
• Russia is the largest TV advertising market in EMEA and will shortly be fifth largest in the world
• Russia is one of the most dynamic markets in the world for mobile ad requests
• Compared to the US Russia’s advertising market is in its infancy. Online advertising spending per user in the US
is 15x the current amount spend in Russia
• In the key mobile segment , spending is expected to grow 50% per year and is currently at 9% less than the US
as a percent of total advertising spending
• The Russian audience is the most active in Europe for video consumption which should lead to higher video ads
Russia Is A Very
Attractive Advertising
Market
• By 2020 Europe is expected to be Europe’s largest consumer market and the world’s fourth biggest overall;
Demand for key consumer sectors is growing at 10-15% per year
• The consumer already accounts for 2/3 of GDP and 80% of economic growth since 2004
• The middle class accounts for 55% of the population higher than China (21%), Brazil (30%) or India (11%); The
number of people considered upper class (15%) is 3x that of Brazil
• Russian users place an order on eBay every three seconds and total spending on eBay alone is $400 million a
54% growth rate YOY
• Russia’s e-commerce market is highly fragmented with the top 10 retailers making up only 20% of the market.
This is a good sign for advertising platforms like Yandex
Huge Consumer
Market
• Eastern Europe is still the second lowest ad spender of any world region behind only the Middle East and Africa
• Russia media spending is growing at 15% and will continue growing at double digit rates for a couple of years
according to eMarketer; Total ad spending was up 13% YOY in 2012
• Russia is currently the 11th ranked country for advertising spending and is expected to reach 7th place by 2015
overtaking South Korea, Australia and France
• With over 75 million internet users, Russia still has almost half its population not online. This compared to just
20% in the US not online and similar numbers in Europe where Russia is already the largest internet country
• Large international online players like eBay, ASOS and Amazon have entered the Russian market recently which
should help to drive advertising as these players spend to take share from established local players
• The Russian-speaking audience includes about 85 million users today (in and out of Russia) and growing quickly

Recent Developments Have Only Added to Yandex’s Dominance
A number of recent development could further enhance Yandex’s competitive position in the Russian Market
Apple Inc.’s iOS 7 mobile operating system is expected to include Yandex as a default search engine option
within Safari. This should be no surprise considering Apple’s rivalry with Google and that Yandex has been
supplying local data for Apple Maps since September 2012
Mail.ru the hugely popular Russian portal recently announced that they would stop utilizing Google to
power their own search engine further hurting Google’s position in Russia
Mail.ru is testing Yandex.Direct, a contextual advertising service for its web sites. The partnership could
potentially boost Yandex revenue by as much 10 percent according to Otkritie Capital
Like Google Yandex recently launched its own browser to enhance search and display revenue
Yandex recently signed a licensing deal with the browser Opera to share Yandex’s technology and
utilize Opera browser capabilities
Yandex’s browser now has around 8 million users in Russia or a 5.9% share
On July 02, 2013 Yandex announced that it will carry Twitter data in all search results in a deal that is similar
to a deal Google used to have with Twitter to carry twitter results in search feeds
The deal gives Yandex a leg up on Google up in key social networking related results
Yandex recently launched a dedicated mobile browser featuring a single box for URLs and searches as well
as voice recognition and other features.
 An app store similar to Google Play called Yandex.Store was recently launched in July 2013

Russia’s Population Gives It Room To Grow
Top Countries By Population (MM)
Sources: Capital IQ
One of the reasons Russia is able to enter into the top markets for numerous categories while still maintaining
room to grow is the size of the population is one of the world’s largest
Few other countries have the population base of Russia to rely on and many of these such as Pakistan, Nigeria
and Bangladesh do not currently have the infrastructure or GDP per capita needed to rank highly in various
internet categories
Despite having over 75 million internet users that still leaves almost half the population not online
Many other countries such as China, India, US and Brazil also rank highly in important internet categories

Russia has historically been a cash economy with about 89% of payments being cash payments
 Part of this is cultural and part of it has to with infrastructure with ATM/POS penetration standing at 1/5 of the
penetration achieved in the US
Utilizing mobile and online payment methods has grown in popularity in Russia and is expected to continue
growing at a very high rate in the years to come
According to a survey by J’son & Partners Consulting, 44% of smartphone users and 60% of tablet users paid for
goods or services the previous month before the survey using mobile methods
With credit card penetration at less than 20% in Russia, services like Yandex.Money and others have a greater
chance of adoption due to the higher value proposition against methods of payment (cash or bank based methods)
Most Russians do have payment cards like debit cards but 50% of cards are only used for salary withdrawal and
cash withdrawals on payday account for 85% of ATM transactions
Unlike in developed economies, many services such as mobile operator payments are pre-pay rather than post-
pay which accounts for high volumes of mobile payments, about $285 million in 2012
Mobile banking is also growing quickly, having grown 39% to 243 million. By 2017 mobile banking is expected to
grow to $870 million a CAGR of 29%
However, due to the low penetration of smartphones much of the current payment market is done through SMS
with 43.4 million people using SMS-banking for about $630 million in total payments

Russia Is One Of The Top Video Markets In The World
With nearly 60 million monthly viewers Russia is second in the world only to the US in terms of unique video
viewers. Russia is first in Europe in terms of total audience having grown at 30% CAGR over the past three years
Considering that Russia is also a huge market for illegal content the number of users is also actually underreported
Only 5% of content downloaded in Russia is from legal sources and four out of five users pirate content
New legislation to enforce IP rights should decrease these numbers and help the legal video market
The number of video viewers is growing at 18% annually while the number of videos is growing at 16% annually
Each user in Russia watches on average 156 videos per month at about eight minutes per video
Thus far, the paid model for content has not been very successful in Russia. Only a limited number of viewers are
ready to pay for content, while large amounts of content are available for free on ad-funded sites or via resources
with pirated content, something expected to change with new legislation targeted such content
Domestic content accounts for up to 45% of the available titles on average in Russia
The funding market for online video is fluid in Russia with funding sources such as founders, VC and PE funds, and
strategic investors having invested about $200 million in the Russian online video market since 2007
The online video advertising market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 34% to $143million by 2017 and some
estimates have growth occurring at over 90% CAGR through 2015
Many major players are expected to enter Russia shortly such as Amazon (which applied to register the trademark
“Amazon Instant Video”), Hulu and Netflix having recently visited Russia, a first step to possibly entering the country

Still Plenty Of Room To Grow For Russian Video Market
Compared to the U.S. Russia still has plenty of room for growth in online video
At about 59 million viewers, Russia has an online penetration of about 76.6% of internet users and 41% of the total
population vs. 85% of total internet users and 59% of the population in the U.S.
At parity with the U.S., Russia would have another 6.45 million video users on a percent of internet user basis
and another 25.37 million on a percent of total population basis
Connected devices like smartphones and smart TVs are growing rapidly and already account for up to 50% of video
views for many market players
Ad spending in Russia also lags far behind the U.S. in terms of the total amount spent on online video spending.
Even adjusted for the lower investment amount spent on TV ads in general this fact could still lead to a large increase
in video ad spending
According to Maxim Melnikov CEO of Media 3, “Five billion dollars previously devoted to TV advertising has already
started to move toward online video advertising in line with increased internet video viewing”
In addition, RTB for video to monetize inventory is set to emerge in Russia which should help kickstart video
advertising in Russia
Increased broadband and 3G/LTE coverage should significantly increase viewership opportunities in coming years

from tablet sales of about a billion dollars
This compares to a decline in PC shipments of 37% for PCs and 45.3 for notebooks
Unlike in most markets where Apple’s iPad is extremely strong, in Russia, Android holds the largest share at 65%
vs. 49% in the worldwide market. Samsung holds largest share (25%) of the tablet market in Russia

Smartphone Penetration is Well Below Expected Levels
At 12% smartphone subscribers as a % of total subscribers, 36.2% total penetration and 27% of 2012 mobile
smartphone sales, Russia is well below other markets. However, these factors are expected to grow significantly
Data has been slow to catch up in Russia to other parts of the world. For instance, 4G penetration is only
estimated at .3% and LTE subscribers just passed the 1 million user mark
Wireless penetration in Russia is well above other markets leading to a reasonable expectation that smartphones
subscribers will increase significantly, in line with income growth and the dropping prices of smartphones
In 2013, 36% of all phones sold in Russia will be smartphones with an average cost of $285 vs. $350 today
By 2015 smartphones are expected to more than double to 63 million units while LTE penetration is expected to
be 10% in the same time period

Unlike in the US, Nokia phones like the Windows phone are popular in Russia with Windows phone shipments
equaling those of the iPhone in 1Q 2013
Major carriers in Russia recently stopped carrying the iPhone due, in part, to the required subsidization of the
iPhone that Apple typically requests from carriers

systems. Another 25.3% voted for Windows Phone, 16.8% for iOS, and 7.4% for other options

Only 63% buy physical goods online at all vs. 85% in the U.S.
The average number of online purchases is 10 times per year for

Many factors have held back growth in ecommerce. For instance, cash on
delivery represents about 60% of online transactions because of the low
penetration of credit cards compared to other markets
Delivery is also laden with problems which is why only 19% of Russians
cite it as a benefit of online shopping
Yandex is a huge beneficiary of any growth in ecommerce with 87% of
consumers using search engines to research purchases and 81% using

Local Is Important – Foreign Brands Have A Way To Go In Russia
More than a third of the brands in L2’s survey never sent a marketing email to any of the BRI country consumer
accounts. Less than 20% of welcome emails and only 10% of marketing emails received were in Russian
Only 52% of brands offer a Russian language web form for customer service while only 30% offer a Toll Free
Number with Russian language support and only one site offers live chat in Russian
With many Russians buying things from abroad due to infrastructure concerns and fear of counterfeits (estimated
to be almost 30% in major retail sectors) it is vital for international companies to provide local support features
These sites will eventually catch up and offer key local support in key markets such as Russia. Once this occurs it
will drive online commerce growth and could also give Google an edge as these international brands are already

Does Acquisition Meet Google’s Criteria
Criteria Meets
Criteria?
Notes
Toothbrush Test People use Yandex multiple times a day
Solving a User Problem Yandex solves the same user problem as Google does,
arguably better, in the Russian language (at least according to
users)
Important to One of Main
Product Areas
Search is a main product area of Google. Buying Yandex will
increase search share especially in Russia. Technology and
partnerships could also be complementary to Google
Strong Management Team The employees at Yandex were first movers in search and
have successfully competed against Google despite having a
lot less resources and manpower
Management Team That Will
Stay With Google
Yandex has been a strong competitor of Google’s in Russia. It
is unknown if the team at Yandex would want to work for
Google
The Yandex acquisition meets most of Google’s acquisition criteria (as described in public documents). The big
question mark is if the team at Yandex would move over to Google. This could be addressed in a term sheet though

Transaction Rationale
• Transaction immediately gives Google an unassailable leadership position in a key internet,
advertising and commerce market
• In the critical mobile area, the combined company will have the ability to enhance the value
proposition of mobile through Google’s market leading developments while also having the
ability to monetize mobile, something few companies do as well as Google
• There are significant cross selling opportunities for Google in Russia. For instance, Russia is one of
the few places where Facebook is not dominant which presents an opportunity for Google+
especially considering what a strong social country Russia is
Strategic
• Highly complementary integration of assets between the two firms including customers, products
and technologies
• Significant distribution and cost synergies between the two firms
Operational
• Compelling PF financial profile that is immediately accretive to Google with few synergies
required
• Including synergies and the growth potential of Russia, Google could be getting Yandex for a
decent price while also acquiring the future possible successes (free options) that go above and
beyond forecasted financial results
Financial
• Customers benefit from the combination of Yandex’s local market expertise and Google’s industry
leading and quickly advancing products
• Yandex has the largest advertising network in Russia, a significant asset for Google in Russia and
beyond
Customers
• Yandex’s team rivals Google in terms of time within the search industry
• Google acquires a significant stable of technology talent and IP that will be useful in worldwide
while also increasing the attraction to future talent in Eastern Europe
Talent and IP
• Yandex has partnership deals with the most important companies in Russia, as well as major
competitors to Google such as Apple. Taking advantage of these partnerships or neutralizing them
is important for Google

As Much As Google Needs Yandex, Yandex Needs Google More
I think it’s always a mistake to assume that technology will be static. So, I think certainly over the long term, we’re going to
have new kinds of devices and ways of interacting with computing and the Internet. We’re obviously excited about Google
Glass and new ways of interacting with hardware and new types of hardware. With any technological change you probably
overestimate the short-term and underestimate the long-term. We’re really excited about making those investments and
making sure we’re positioned to the future. – Larry Page CEO of Google
While Yandex is innovating in core search areas, they are not innovating at nearly the pace that Google is
In key difficult areas like mobile (both hardware and android), wearables and big data Google is
innovating at a much faster pace than rivals and gobbling up share as a result
The pace of innovation has accelerated at a blistering pace in the past few years and shows no sign of
slowing in the coming years
Yandex is not even in areas of possible huge innovations such as wearables and phone hardware
Google is creating an unstoppable ecosystem with key incentives in wearables, hardware, driverless cars and
big data, among other initiatives that will be extremely difficult to replicate if Google obtains a large lead (like
Apple with the iPhone)
With Google spending almost $9 billion per year on R&D and acquisitions, it is hard to see how Yandex will be
able to compete in 10 or 20 years if Google is successful with any of its world changing products (like Glass) or
incrementally improves core products in a way that others would have a lot of trouble replicating

Things Are Changing At An Accelerating Pace
On August 5, 2013 Jeff Bezos announced the acquisition of the
Washington Post for $250 million
The Washington Post is one of the most iconic publications of
the past 100 years
Yet due to the digital innovation related to news consumption
the company that broke the Watergate scandal went for only
$250 million
For reference two other companies, Tumblr and Instagram were sold
for over $1 billion despite being in existence for only a short term
before being acquired
This shows the increasing pace at which new technologies are
displacing existing market leaders

Companies Not Around In 2000 Have Created Major Industry Disruptions

Yandex Is Hoping The Future Will Be Like The Past: Not Likely
With this information would you stake your companies future on tomorrow being like today? Yandex Is
Compared to Google, Yandex has not been innovating at nearly the same pace as its search competitor. Yandex is
assuming that the world in which it came of age in will continue
By staying a smaller company while not pursuing innovation at nearly the same pace as Google Yandex is making
the implicit bet that the future will be much like the past a bet that may seem unwise in hindsight
If any of Google’s major innovations, for which it spends over $9 billion a year (in R&D and acquisitions), are a
major success it will greatly enhance Google’s position at the expense of major competitors like Yandex
Already, major successes like Android, YouTube, Google+ and Chrome have greatly enhanced Google’s
competitive position, especially in key mobile markets
Products like Glass, Google Now, self driving cars, Moto X, Google’s version of cookies and others have the
potential to create major disruptions in Google’s favor. This would put Google far enough ahead of
competitors to present a major problem to those competitors
By not taking on major but riskier innovations Yandex is implicitly betting that the landscape will not
change too much a tricky assumption for anyone who watched once dominant companies fall to innovative
forces

Google Yandex M&A

  • 1. November 2013 Time to End the Cold War: Why Google Should Acquire Yandex By Charles Worthman
  • 3. 2 CONFIDENTIAL Executive Summary – Google Should Acquire Yandex Google, which essentially invented modern online advertising, still earns almost all of the company’s revenue from advertising making Google as much an advertising company as an innovative tech company Search is the main driver of Google’s advertising revenues and thus its cash flows According to the company’s core philosophy the main competency of Google is search. Google states: “With one of the world’s largest research groups focused exclusively on solving search problems, we know what we do well, and how we could do it better. Through continued iteration on difficult problems, we’ve been able to solve complex issues and provide continuous improvements to a service that already makes finding information a fast and seamless experience for millions of people. Our dedication to improving search helps usapply what we’ve learned to new products, like Gmail and Google Maps. Our hope is to bring the power of search to previously unexplored areas, and to help people access and use even more of the ever-expanding information in their lives.” In almost all markets around the world users have voted and Google is clearly the best search company in the world with a market share of over between 65% and 88% worldwide depending on the source Yet in a few major internet markets in the world Google is not the dominant search engine: China where Baidu has over 60% of the market, South Korea where Naver is used by about 70% of users and Russia where Yandex, the “Google of Russia” has a market share of 62% - 64% depending on the source China is not a market Google can enter in a big way due to well publicized censor concerns, leaving only South Korea and Russia as markets where Google has not managed to achieve dominance despite best efforts Google should acquire Yandex to obtain dominance in the Russian market Based in the Netherland’s Yandex adheres to relatively strict requirements for accounting and other procedures vs. other Russian based companies
  • 4. 3 CONFIDENTIAL Executive Summary – Google Should Acquire Yandex “There are very few companies in the world that can compete with Google, and Yandex is one of them and the only one in Europe.” Konstantin Belov, an analyst at UralSib Financial Corp. “Yandex's algorithm accounts for the intricacies of Russian grammar, where the same word can have dozens of different endings depending on its place in a sentence.” – BusinessWeek “Yandex is geared to structural growth in internet advertising as the Russian market sees higher internet penetration and higher share of ad budgets moving away from traditional media to new media. We expect rapid growth of the internet advertising sector and Yandex to stay in the lead in paid search.” – Bank of America Merrill Lynch“It’s remarkable that there are fewer countries with their own search engines today than those with their own space program.” Dmitry Grishin, Co-Founder and CEO of Mail.Ru Group “Russia is a key market, with more internet users than any other country in Europe. But participants clearly must be ready to play by a whole other set of rules and against especially well-entrenched competitors.” – Wired Magazine “In some directions, Yandex is even ahead of Google, for example, the Yandex real-time traffic monitoring service launched 4 years before Google could offer a similar service to its Russian users.” - Sergey Kuznetsov HSE‘s School of Applied Mathematics and Information Science “Of course, Yandex’s leadership might not be eternal. Google could significantly reduce the gap with a strong team and sufficient investment on the Russian market. But it is difficult to imagine Google seriously threatening Yandex positions in the next 5 to 7 years.” - Andrey Zotov, East- West Digital News co-founder: “In the medium or long term, Google has its chance, especially if Google will make some special deal with leading telecoms. It won’t be easy, however, since Yandex is a well structured company and it will be almost impossible for anyone to win the search competition with Yandex. The best Cyrillic search results will keep users around Yandex for a long time to come.” - Alexander Galitsky, co-founder and managing partner at Almaz Capital Partners
  • 5. 4 CONFIDENTIAL Experienced Management  Yandex is run by a very experienced team of computer scientists  Yandex has been around as long as Google and has a team that is much more experienced in Russian, the second most popular web language Patent Portfolio & Search Knowledge Helpful to Google  Yandex has a large patent and IP portfolio from its years in the internet business  Having been in the search business as long as Google, Yandex’s knowledge and team would be an asset to Google Russian Mobile Is A Big Opportunity  Despite having the highest wireless penetration rate in Europe, Russia’s Smartphone penetration is low  For key areas like social, video and apps Russia is one of the most active countries  Unlike the U.S., Android has a higher tablet market share than iOS in Russia Gives Google Immediate Dominance in Russia  Yandex is the search leader in Russia with 62% market share in the country  Has 54 million unique visitors a month in Russia alone  Has 241K advertisers and over 50% of online ad market share Significant Initial Synergies Make Acquisition Cheap For Google  A large number of overlapping product focuses leads to significant synergies  The transaction is accretive on both a GAAP and a cash basis without including significant additional revenue opportunities in Russia from being a combined firm Russia Is An Attractive Market  Russia is the top internet market in Europe by number of users and 6th in the world  With only about 50% penetration there is still plenty of room for growth  With ecommerce penetration of 1.9% Russia is set for advertising growth despite already being a top digital advertiser Highlights – Why Google Should Acquire Yandex
  • 6. 5 CONFIDENTIAL Russia Is One Of The Few Markets Where Google Is Not Dominant Russia is one of the only top ten internet markets where Google is not a dominant search engine (a) Google has been able to compete in Russia but has not but has not managed to overtake Yandex Russian is a complex language and Yandex has a big head start in building brand equity and search results in Russia Only 5% of people in Russia speak English fluently especially outside of the major cities Yandex’s lead has held in Russia despite huge advertising resources dedicated to Russia by Google as well as the very successful introductions of Chrome and Android in Russia Google Market Share In Top 10 Internet MarketsDominant Search Engines Around The World (a) In Japan Yahoo has a partnership with Google to utilize Google’s search results. As such, actual Google market share is higher than stated. 98% 97% 96% 95% 95% 92% 67% 40% 22% 3.05% 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% 120% India Brazil Indonesia Germany France United Kingdom United States Japan Russia China Sources:Bloomberg LP & Searchengineland
  • 7. 6 CONFIDENTIAL 64% 22% 8% 3% Yandex Google Mail.Ru Rambler Yandex is a Clear Leader in the Russian Internet Sector Yandex is the clear leader in Russian search and a strong player worldwide despite only being active on the Russian speaking internet and now in Turkey Yandex powers the paid search feature on Mail.ru so the site is not an actual competitor to Yandex Yandex’s share on mobile is over 50% on Android and 40% on iOS. The iOS share is expected to surge after Yandex’s partnership with Apple In 2012, Yandex’s audience exceeded the viewership of Russia’s most popular TV station Russia Search Engine Market Share (Q2 2013) 17.7 18.7 21.6 23.5 31.3 37 39.3 42.2 50.9 50.9 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 Avito.ru ucoz.ru Facebook Wikipedia Youtube Odnoklassniki.ru Google Vk.Com Yandex.Ru Mail.ru Nov 2012 Unique Visitors (MM) Sources :comScore 66.90% 18.10% 11.10% 2.60% 1.30% Google Sites Microsoft Sites Yahoo!

  • 8. 7 CONFIDENTIAL Yandex Firing On All Cylinders • In Q3 2013, Yandex grew 2.2% YOY in share of search on all platforms and 25% YOY growth in number of search result pages mostly from increased search intensity per user • Yandex’s share of the search market in Russia stands at 62% a growth of 1.5% YOY • Advertising clients have grown 24% YOY to 261,000 while ARPU grew 15% YOY • Paid clicks are growing at a rate of 50% YOY as of Q3 2013 • Revenue is growing at a rate of 35% to 38% according to Yandex, with Q3 2013 showing over 40% YOY growth Yandex is Growing Quickly • Yandex recently signed partnerships with very important partners like Mail.ru, Twitter, Apple, Cooliris, Rambler and Skrill, among others; The Mail.ru partnership has great terms with Yandex only paying through TAC costs • Mail.ru the hugely popular Russian portal recently announced that they would stop utilizing Google to power its own search engine further hurting Google’s position in Russia by using Yandex for paid search • These partnerships, especially with Google competitors like Apple and Twitter could be transformative for Yandex and certainly cement Yandex’sposition while the Mail.ru partnership cements Yandex’s #1 search position • By acquiring Yandex, Google nips these partnerships in the bud or takes them on, both of which would nullify any negative problems from the partnerships Yandex Partnerships Strengthen Company • Having launched Yandex Browser only a year ago Yandex now has about 6% total browser share in Russia • Even in Google’s own Chrome Yandex is dominant with 54.6% market share despite Google being the default browser in Chrome (meaning users have to consciously shift) • Yandex is progressing well in mobile with 15% of search traffic coming from mobile and 11% of search revenues • Yandex now has over 60% market share in Android (from 47% just a quarter ago) and 40% in iOS (from 30%) Yandex Doing Well In Areas Google Should Dominate • Yandex is trying to launch key unique products outside of search • Yandex recently announced a new cost per action model for Yandex.Market where Yandex will charge merchants 1% from every transaction made through the market (compared to 8-10% at eBay and others). Yandex will offer enhanced conversion of visitors into buyers through increased user experiences and enhanced credit card safety by having users store their credit card information in Yandex (which will also have obvious benefits for Yandex too) • Already 100 sites have already signed up and another 1,000 have expressed interest Yandex Is Introducing New Products
  • 9. 8 CONFIDENTIAL Russia is an important language market for Google • Russia’s online ad market is growing at about 30% YOY with the contextual market growing even quicker at 38% YOY; Many individual platforms are growing at even quicker rates • Russia is the largest TV advertising market in EMEA and will shortly be fifth largest in the world • Russia is one of the most dynamic markets in the world for mobile ad requests • Compared to the US Russia’s advertising market is in its infancy. Online advertising spending per user in the US is 15x the current amount spend in Russia • In the key mobile segment , spending is expected to grow 50% per year and is currently at 9% less than the US as a percent of total advertising spending • The Russian audience is the most active in Europe for video consumption which should lead to higher video ads Russia Is A Very Attractive Advertising Market • By 2020 Europe is expected to be Europe’s largest consumer market and the world’s fourth biggest overall; Demand for key consumer sectors is growing at 10-15% per year • The consumer already accounts for 2/3 of GDP and 80% of economic growth since 2004 • The middle class accounts for 55% of the population higher than China (21%), Brazil (30%) or India (11%); The number of people considered upper class (15%) is 3x that of Brazil • Russian users place an order on eBay every three seconds and total spending on eBay alone is $400 million a 54% growth rate YOY • Russia’s e-commerce market is highly fragmented with the top 10 retailers making up only 20% of the market. This is a good sign for advertising platforms like Yandex Huge Consumer Market • Eastern Europe is still the second lowest ad spender of any world region behind only the Middle East and Africa • Russia media spending is growing at 15% and will continue growing at double digit rates for a couple of years according to eMarketer; Total ad spending was up 13% YOY in 2012 • Russia is currently the 11th ranked country for advertising spending and is expected to reach 7th place by 2015 overtaking South Korea, Australia and France • With over 75 million internet users, Russia still has almost half its population not online. This compared to just 20% in the US not online and similar numbers in Europe where Russia is already the largest internet country • Large international online players like eBay, ASOS and Amazon have entered the Russian market recently which should help to drive advertising as these players spend to take share from established local players • The Russian-speaking audience includes about 85 million users today (in and out of Russia) and growing quickly Russia Still Has Plenty of Growth Left

  • 11. 10 CONFIDENTIAL Recent Developments Have Only Added to Yandex’s Dominance A number of recent development could further enhance Yandex’s competitive position in the Russian Market Apple Inc.’s iOS 7 mobile operating system is expected to include Yandex as a default search engine option within Safari. This should be no surprise considering Apple’s rivalry with Google and that Yandex has been supplying local data for Apple Maps since September 2012 Mail.ru the hugely popular Russian portal recently announced that they would stop utilizing Google to power their own search engine further hurting Google’s position in Russia Mail.ru is testing Yandex.Direct, a contextual advertising service for its web sites.

As such, it is predictable that most dominant companies selling to the Russian market are local Russians search for local brands 24% more than non-translated sites Only about 20% of searches in Russia are in English yet less than 45% of brands fail to reach the top three search results on Google or Yandex for Russian brand keywords due to low investment in local SEO Global brand sites in Russia have an average load time of over 10.5 seconds almost 3x load time in the U.S. and 1.22x locally hosted sites Only 20% of brands offer Yandex.Money or Cash On Delivery methods of payment despite the popularity of COD in Russia and the low penetration of credit cards in Russia Local Is Important – Foreign Brands Have A Way To Go In Russia

Once this occurs it will drive online commerce growth and could also give Google an edge as these international brands are already major advertisers with Google Russian Sites Offering Select Features 25% 69% 24% 27% 75% 35% 35% 31% 0% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% Local Language Russian Language Store Locator Prices In Local Currency Local Customer Service Lists Location Info Links From Product Page Geolocation Provides Directions Live Chat in Local Language Source: L2 Think Tank

  • 89. 88 CONFIDENTIAL As Much As Google Needs Yandex, Yandex Needs Google More I think it’s always a mistake to assume that technology will be static. So, I think certainly over the long term, we’re going to have new kinds of devices and ways of interacting with computing and the Internet. We’re obviously excited about Google Glass and new ways of interacting with hardware and new types of hardware. With any technological change you probably overestimate the short-term and underestimate the long-term. We’re really excited about making those investments and making sure we’re positioned to the future. – Larry Page CEO of Google While Yandex is innovating in core search areas, they are not innovating at nearly the pace that Google is In key difficult areas like mobile (both hardware and android), wearables and big data Google is innovating at a much faster pace than rivals and gobbling up share as a result The pace of innovation has accelerated at a blistering pace in the past few years and shows no sign of slowing in the coming years Yandex is not even in areas of possible huge innovations such as wearables and phone hardware Google is creating an unstoppable ecosystem with key incentives in wearables, hardware, driverless cars and big data, among other initiatives that will be extremely difficult to replicate if Google obtains a large lead (like Apple with the iPhone) With Google spending almost $9 billion per year on R&D and acquisitions, it is hard to see how Yandex will be able to compete in 10 or 20 years if Google is successful with any of its world changing products (like Glass) or incrementally improves core products in a way that others would have a lot of trouble replicating

Yandex Is Compared to Google, Yandex has not been innovating at nearly the same pace as its search competitor. Yandex is assuming that the world in which it came of age in will continue By staying a smaller company while not pursuing innovation at nearly the same pace as Google Yandex is making the implicit bet that the future will be much like the past a bet that may seem unwise in hindsight If any of Google’s major innovations, for which it spends over $9 billion a year (in R&D and acquisitions), are a major success it will greatly enhance Google’s position at the expense of major competitors like Yandex Already, major successes like Android, YouTube, Google+ and Chrome have greatly enhanced Google’s competitive position, especially in key mobile markets Products like Glass, Google Now, self driving cars, Moto X, Google’s version of cookies and others have the potential to create major disruptions in Google’s favor. This would put Google far enough ahead of competitors to present a major problem to those competitors By not taking on major but riskier innovations Yandex is implicitly betting that the landscape will not change too much a tricky assumption for anyone who watched once dominant companies fall to innovative forces
