This is stated in its financial statements for the third quarter. Yandex said that part of the infrastructure was damaged during the attacks and there were "additional external factors that make it difficult to assess the financial results for the rest of the year". In the past, it was planned to increase the revenue by the end of 2026 by about 20%, and adjust the events so that it increases to 350 billion rubles. The company expects to issue guidelines again starting next quarter. The financial results for the third quarter do not take into account the impact of the attacks in October, after the end of the reporting period. Yandex has not yet revealed the extent of the damage. From October 8 to October 11, UAVs attacked three of the company's data centers - in Sesovo, Kaluga and Vladimir. Facilities in Sesovo and Vladimir completely stopped their work; In Kaluga, part of the infrastructure failed. After the attacks, Yandex had to start limiting the functionality of its services, and dozens of customers of its cloud business were also affected. In the report, Yandex stated that it has "restored all services for users and businesses", but not all their functions are available yet. The company intends to increase the sustainability of the infrastructure and move "to a more decentralized model of its activity". But there are still no plans to increase expected capital expenditures for 2026; Within nine months, the investments amounted to 115 billion rubles. In the third quarter, the company's revenues increased by 12% year-on-year, to 411 billion rubles, compared to growth of 16% in the second and 22% in the first. Adjusted events increased by 12%, to 88 billion rubles, which also indicates a slowdown (+35% in the second and +50% in the first).
