NYSE Delisting

On March 15, 2023, the Company received a written notice from the staff of the New York Stock Exchange Regulation notifying the Company that it has determined to delist the Company’s American depositary shares (ADSs) from the NYSE. The Company utilized its right to a review of the determination and, accordingly, filed an appeal to this decision. Following an appeal process that included the delivery of written submissions as well as an oral presentation before a Committee of the Board of Directors of the NYSE, the Company was notified on July 21, 2023 that the Committee had reached a final decision to uphold the delisting determination.

The removal of the Company’s ADSs from listing on the NYSE became effective on July 31, 2023. The Company does not expect the delisting to have any immediate effect on the terms of the ADSs under its ADS program, which will continue to exist in their current form. The trading of the Company’s ADSs on the Moscow Exchange is unaffected and continues as usual.

Second Quarter and Six Months 2023 Results

Factors affecting year-over-year trends and comparisons

We believe that trends in the real estate market in the first half of 2023 were particularly characterized by the following events: (i) more stable demand in the first half of 2023 compared to respective period of the last year; (ii) in December 2022, the subsidized government mortgage was prolonged until July 2024. However, the interest rate for mortgages in this program increased from 7% to 8%. At the same time, the requirements of the government subsidized program for families were eased (the interest rate in this program is 6%). These changes put additional pressure on the mortgage market and led to crossflow of demand between subsidized programs; (iii) demand was recovering both in primary and secondary markets.

Post reporting date, on July 21, 2023, following a continued sharp depreciation of the ruble, the key interest rate was increased to 8.5% and further increased to 12% on August 15, 2023.

Second Quarter 2023 Results

Revenue

Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023 amounted to RUB 2,661 million compared to RUB 1,905 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, an increase of RUB 756 million, or 40%. The revenue increase was driven by growth in the Core Business segment.

Core Business segment revenue

Core Business revenue reached RUB 2,528 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, an increase of 42% from RUB 1,781 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Core Business revenue growth was driven by strong performance across all key revenue streams – listing revenue, lead generation, and display advertising revenue.

Mortgage Marketplace segment revenue

Mortgage Marketplace revenue amounted to RUB 115 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to RUB 31 million for the same period of the prior year, corresponding to an increase of RUB 84 million or 271%. The increase was primarily a result of an anomalously low amount in the comparative period, as the demand for mortgage loans was under significant pressure after the key interest rate hike in late February 2022.

Operating expenses

Total operating expenses increased by 41% to RUB 2,355 million in the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared with RUB 1,674 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was primarily driven by marketing costs having been restored to their normal levels after cost cutting introduced in the second quarter of 2022 due to high levels of uncertainty.

Profit for the period

Profit for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was RUB 404 million compared to a loss of RUB 433 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The change for the period was driven primarily by a foreign currency exchange gain of RUB 178 million related to our USD-denominated cash balances (compared to RUB 663 million loss a year earlier).

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2023 reached RUB 590 million compared to RUB 480 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by the revenue growth.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin dropped by 3.0 pp to 22.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The key reason behind the drop was the aforementioned cost cutting measures in marketing expenses in the second quarter of 2022.

Six Months 2023 Results

Audience

Average UMV (Unique Monthly Visitors) for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by 4% to 19.0 million compared with the six months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was mainly driven by the overall recovery in demand for primary and secondary real estate following the key interest rate stabilization.

Revenue

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 amounted to RUB 5,063 million compared to RUB 3,631 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, demonstrating an increase of RUB 1,432 million, or 39%. The revenue growth was mainly driven by growth of the Core Business segment.

Core Business revenue reached RUB 4,826 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, increasing by 42% compared to RUB 3,403 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Similar to the second quarter, Core Business revenue growth was driven by a positive performance across all key revenue streams.

Core Business revenue in Moscow and the Moscow region for the six months ended June 30, 2023 reached RUB 3,553 million, showing an increase of RUB 1,037 million, or 41%, compared to RUB 2,516 million for the prior year. Core Business revenue in other Russian regions for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was RUB 1,273 million, an increase of RUB 386 million, or 44%, as compared to RUB 887 million for the prior year.

Listing revenue increased by 25% to RUB 2,681 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 from RUB 2,141 million for the prior year.

The following table presents the listing revenue, the number of listings and average daily revenue per listing for the periods indicated1:

1 Numbers may not add up due to rounding. 2 Listings means the daily average number of real estate listings posted on our platform by agents and individual sellers for a particular period. 3 Average daily revenue per listing is calculated as listing revenue divided (i) by the total number of listings for the corresponding period and (ii) by the number of days during the period.

The growth of the Сore Business listing revenue was primarily driven by the price increases and the growth of content.

In the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had approximately 1.91 million listings on our platform, compared to approximately 1.78 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in the number of listings was predominantly driven by the overall market recovery. At the same time, the increase of demand led to a general decrease in the amount of time that listings remained posted. Nevertheless, the number of listings in Moscow and the Moscow region, as well as St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region grew significantly as supply still exceeded demand.

Lead generation and display advertising revenue (primary real estate vertical)

Lead generation revenue increased by 75% to RUB 1,683 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 from RUB 960 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022. Display advertising revenue increased by 41% to RUB 410 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Core Business lead generation revenue growth was driven both by an increase in number of leads and an increase in the average revenue per lead to developers, that resulted from price increases in September 2022 and March 2023.

Core Business display advertising revenue growth was driven by increases in tariffs in June 2022 (in Moscow and the Moscow region and St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region), as well as in January and March 2023.

Mortgage Marketplace segment revenue

Mortgage Marketplace revenue amounted to RUB 201 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to RUB 100 million for the prior year, representing an increase of RUB 101 million, or 101%, as the demand recovered after key interest rate increase stabilization.

Operating expenses

Total operating expenses increased by 29% to RUB 4,625 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 from RUB 3,587 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily driven by an increase in marketing expenses.

Employee-related expenses

Employee-related expenses increased by 20% to RUB 2,152 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 from RUB 1,790 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 mostly due to the growth of wages, salaries and related taxes. Wages, salaries and related taxes and other employee-related expenses were a total of RUB 1,694 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to RUB 1,397 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was primarily due to salary growth in line with the market level, while headcount growth was moderate.

Wages, salaries and related taxes as a percentage of revenue decreased year-over-year from 38.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to 33.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Marketing expenses

Marketing expenses increased to RUB 1,752 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 from RUB 1,083 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase was primarily a result of an anomalously low amount in the comparative period, as we significantly reduced marketing spending in the first half of 2022 due to high uncertainty in the market.

Marketing expenses as a percentage of revenue increased from 29.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to 34.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

IT expenses

IT expenses increased by 19% to RUB 313 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 from RUB 262 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was primarily driven by an additional rollout of cloud hosting and growth of hosting tariffs. A growth of foreign currency exchange rates also contributed to the growth.

Other operating expenses

Other operating expenses decreased by 8% to RUB 288 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 from RUB 313 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022. An increase in expenses relating to consulting services was fully offset by the absence of apartment sale expenses in the End-to-End Home Swap business.

Profit for the period

Profit for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was RUB 615 million compared to a loss of RUB 389 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The change in profit for the period was driven primarily by a foreign currency exchange gain of RUB 299 million related to our USD-denominated cash balances (loss of RUB 478 million in the prior year). The factors which affected our Adjusted EBITDA (please see below) also contributed to the change in profit for the period.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin

Adjusted EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2023 reached RUB 943 million, compared to RUB 536 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by the revenue growth.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin increased by 3.8 pp to 18.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Core Business Adjusted EBITDA increased by 30% to RUB 1,181 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 from RUB 906 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was driven primarily by revenue growth of the Core Business segment, including the growth in listing, lead generation and display advertising revenue that outpaced the growth of Core Business operating expenses.

Core Business Adjusted EBITDA Margin deteriorated by 2.2 pp reaching 24.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Mortgage Marketplace Adjusted EBITDA was RUB 34 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to negative RUB 104 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022. The dynamic was primarily driven by a growth of revenue outpacing the growth of operating expenses in this sector.

Non-IFRS Financial Measures and Supplemental Financial Information

Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures

We use Adjusted EBITDA, Core Business Adjusted EBITDA for Moscow and the Moscow region, Core Business Adjusted EBITDA for Other regions, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Core Business Adjusted EBITDA Margin as non-IFRS financial measure in assessing our operating performance and in our financial communications.

Adjusted EBITDA, Core Business Adjusted EBITDA for Moscow and the Moscow region, Core Business Adjusted EBITDA for Other regions, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Core Business Adjusted EBITDA Margin are financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with IFRS. These non-IFRS financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative or a substitute to loss for the period, which is the most directly comparable IFRS measure, or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA, Core Business Adjusted EBITDA for Moscow and the Moscow region, Core Business Adjusted EBITDA for Other regions, Adjusted EBITDA Margin and Core Business Adjusted EBITDA Margin have limitations as analytical tools. Some of these limitations are:

they exclude depreciation and amortization expense and, although these are non-cash expenses, the assets being depreciated may have to be replaced in the future, increasing our cash requirements;
they do not reflect foreign currency exchange loss (gain), which reduces (increases) cash available to us;
they do not reflect income tax payments that reduce cash available to us;
they do not reflect share-based compensation expenses and, therefore, do not include all of our employee-related expenses; and
other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate those measures differently, which reduces their usefulness as comparative measures.

The tables below provide detailed reconciliations of each non-IFRS financial measure we use from the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure.

1 U.S. Dollar translations throughout this release are included solely for the convenience of the reader and were calculated at the exchange rate quoted by the Central Bank of Russia as of June 30, 2023 (RUB 87.0341 to USD 1.00). 2 For the purpose of calculating Core Business Adjusted EBITDA for Moscow and the Moscow region and Core Business Adjusted EBITDA for Other regions: (i) revenues are attributed to the relevant region based primarily on the location of the relevant property listed; and (ii) costs are directly attributed to the relevant region with respect to which they were incurred, when possible. Due to the integrated structure of our business, certain costs may benefit all our regions. These costs primarily include certain headcount-related expenses, certain marketing and advertising costs, product development, IT expenses (including hosting and technical support expenses and telecommunication services), office maintenance expenses and other general corporate expenses, such as finance, accounting, legal, human resources, recruiting and facilities costs. These costs are allocated to Moscow and the Moscow region and Other regions based on the estimated benefit each region receives from such expenses, using specific allocation drivers representing this benefit. 3 Defined as Core Business Adjusted EBITDA divided by Core Business revenue for the respective periods.
