Yandex’s adjusted net income stood at 8 billion roubles last year, down 55% on a like-for-like basis and now including its Yandex.Market e-commerce venture. The company said annual profit was impacted by investments into high-growth segments of the business, such as e-commerce and media services.

Yandex said total e-commerce gross merchandise volume (GMV) should double in 2022, while GMV in its ride-hailing and car-sharing business should reach 700-720 billion roubles in 2022.

Total revenues were up 54% year-on-year in the fourth quarter of 2021, and increased by the same amount over the full year to 356.2 billion roubles, above company guidance of 340-350 billion roubles.
