USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

 

To supplement the financial informationprepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we present the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA/(loss) andAdjusted net income/(loss). The presentation of these financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitutefor, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAPfinancial measures, please see the tables captioned “Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest comparable U.S.GAAP measures”, included following the accompanying financial tables. We define the various non-GAAP financial measures we useas follows:

 

·Adjusted EBITDA/(loss) means U.S. GAAP net income/(loss) from continuing operations plus (1) depreciation and amortization, (2) certain SBC expense, (3) interest expense, (4) income tax expense/(benefit), (5) one-off restructuring and other expenses, less (1) interest income, (2) other income/(loss), net, (3) income/(loss) from equity method investments and (4) gain from revaluation of investment in equity securities.
·Adjusted net income/(loss) means U.S. GAAP net income/(loss) from continuing operations plus (1) certain SBC expense, (2) one-off restructuring and other expenses, (3) amortization of debt discount and issuance costs less (1) foreign exchange gains and (2) gain from revaluation of investment in equity securities. Tax effects related to the listed adjustments are excluded from adjusted net income.

 

These non-GAAP financial measures areused by management for evaluating financial performance as well as decision-making. Management believes that these metrics reflect theorganic, core operating performance of the company, and therefore are useful to analysts and investors in providing supplemental informationthat helps them understand, model and forecast the evolution of our operating business.

Although our management uses these non-GAAPfinancial measures for operational decision-making and considers these financial measures to be useful for analysts and investors, werecognize that there are a number of limitations related to such measures. In particular, it should be noted that several of these measuresexclude some recurring costs, particularly certain share-based compensation. In addition, the components of the costs that we excludein our calculation of the measures described above may differ from the components that our peer companies exclude when they report theirresults of operations.

 

Below we describe why we make particularadjustments to certain U.S. GAAP financial measures:

 

Net income/(loss) from discontinuedoperations

 

We present Adjusted EBITDA/(loss) andAdjusted net income / (loss) excluding any effects of our discontinued operations.

 

Information on our discontinued operationsis disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the U.S. Securities and ExchangeCommission (“SEC”) on April 30, 2025. In Q2 2025 following the completion of the investment transaction in Toloka, anAI development platform, Nebius ceased to hold majority voting power in Toloka and no longer include Toloka’s results in Nebius’consolidated financial statements and reports its stake as equity method investment. The Toloka’s results for prior periods werereclassified to discontinued operations.

 

Certain SBC expense

 

SBC (Stock-Based Compensation) is asignificant expense item and an important part of our compensation and incentive programs. As it is highly dependent on our share priceat the time of equity award grants, we believe that it is useful for investors and analysts to see certain financial measures excludingthe impact of these charges in order to obtain a clearer picture of our operating performance. However, because we settled some RSU equityawards of our employees granted before 2022 in cash during 2024, a portion of stock-based compensation expense for 2024 was includedin Adjusted EBITDA/(loss).

 

Foreign exchange gains/(losses)

 

The functional currency of Nebius GroupN.V. is the United States Dollar, which is also the Group’s current reporting currency. Foreign exchange gain/(loss) dynamics reflectchanges in the U.S. dollar value of monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in other currencies, as well as changes in thefunctional currencies of foreign subsidiaries' monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies different from theirrespective local currencies. Because foreign exchange fluctuations are outside of our operational control, we believe that it is usefulto present Adjusted EBITDA/(loss), adjusted net income/(loss) and related margin measures excluding these effects, in order to providegreater clarity regarding our operating performance.

 

One-off restructuring and other expenses

 

We believe that it is useful to presentAdjusted net income/(loss), Adjusted EBITDA/(loss) and related margin measures excluding impacts not related to our operating activities.Adjusted net income/(loss) and Adjusted EBITDA/(loss) exclude certain expenses related to the restructuring and other similar one-offexpenses.

 

Amortization of debt discount andissuance costs

 

We also adjust net income/(loss) forinterest expense representing amortization of the debt discount and issuance costs related to our convertible senior notes due 2029 and2031 issued in Q2 2025. Debt discount represents the accretion of the nominal amount of notes payable at maturity, unless the relevantnotes have been earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms. We adjust net income/(loss) for the interestexpense recognized from amortization of the debt discount and issuance costs due to the significantly different timing of payment inrelation to the operating results.

 

The tables at theend of this release provide detailed reconciliations of each non-GAAP financial measure we use from the most directly comparable U.S.GAAP financial measure.

Q2 2025

 

August 7, 2025

 

Introduction

 

Fellow shareholders,

 

These are exciting times. With AI developingat pace, we stand at the brink of the next great leap in technology. To achieve this, we need to build entirely new infrastructure forAI. This is a great challenge for the next decade and beyond.

 

Outside of a handful of big tech companies,only a few newcomers have both the technological expertise and the multi-billion-dollar scale to play in this field. Nebius is one ofthem.

 

Demand is continuing to grow rapidlyas frontier AI labs build more LLMs, thousands of new AI-native startups develop ever greater numbers of applications, and large enterprisesincorporate AI into critical workstreams. We expect the fundamental trends in our space to continue to drive growth for years to come.

 

Nebius is a recognized leader in AIinfrastructure — across compute, software and services — and we are positioning the company to win.

 

In our most recent quarter, we had anumber of important accomplishments:

 

We continued to deliver exceptionalresults across the board.

 

We grew revenue 625% year-over-year and 106% quarter-over-quarter – a significant acceleration from Q1 – with growth supported by strong customer demand and near-peak utilization of our platform.
We achieved positive adjusted EBITDA in our core business sooner than expected.

As a result of this strong momentum,we are raising our annualized run-rate revenue outlook for the year end from $750 million-$1.0 billion to $900 million-$1.1 billion.

 

We are aggressively scaling capacityand targeting 1 GW of power in 2026.

 

By the end of 2025, we expect our connected power to reach 220 MW. This includes capacity that is or will be connected to our data centers.
In Finland, we are currently expanding up to 75 MW. In New Jersey, we recently increased our commitment to secure 100 MW of power this year and 100 MW of power in 2026.
Beyond that, we are in advanced discussions for two significant new greenfield sites in the US. Overall, we are in the process of securing more than 1 GW of power by the end of 2026.

 

We continued to expand and diversifyour customer base.

 

We are gaining traction on the enterprise side, adding large global technology logos including Cloudflare, Prosus and Shopify.
We also remained one of the top neocloud providers for AI-native startups, winning customers like HeyGen, Lightning.AI, Photoroom and many others.

 

We made significant enhancementsto our cloud platform and customer experience. These enhancements are designed to provide customers with greater performance, improvedreliability and better flexibility, including:

 

Achieving faster run-time speed of our clusters as verified by MLPerf® Training v5.0 submission
Improving cluster reliability by significantly increasing Mean Time Between Failure
Launching Managed Soperator, our fully managed Slurm solution, available as a one-click, self-service option
Strengthening our storage offering with a new class-of-object storage and third-party solutions
Extending our integrations with leading AI development platforms and services
We also continue to invest in new products like our Inference-as-a-Service solution to help customers utilize the latest LLM models for their inference workloads.

 

We continued to grow our ecosystem.

 

Our strategy is to build an API-first, developer friendly Platform-as-a-Service.
We added new integrations and built on existing ones that make Nebius infrastructure more accessible to AI developers and researchers, including with AnyScale, BaseTen, Mithril (Foundry), LightningAI, and we deepened our collaborations with SkyPoint and NVIDIA.

 

We are in the midst of a once-in-a-generationopportunity.

Demand for AI infrastructure —compute, software and services — is only going to get stronger.

 

Looking forward, we are fortunate tohave multiple levers to finance our aggressive growth plans. To date, we have secured more than $4 billion in capital. Our strong balancesheet provides us with a wide range of potential financing options to support our ambitions. Furthermore, we believe that our portfolioof businesses and equity investments should provide us with additional billions of dollars in incremental capital over time, enablingus to continue investing in our core business.

 

I’d like to thank our employeesfor their contributions to our current success, and to our shareholders for their continued support.

 

Sincerely,

 

Arkady Volozh

Group Business Update

 

Nebius

 

Driving Scale

 

We plan to have 220 MW of power connectedto our data centers by the end of this year.

 

At the end of Q2, our footprint spannedfive active locations globally. In addition, we announced plans to launch in the UK and Israel later this year to support local AI developmentstrategies and create new opportunities for British and Israeli businesses, researchers and public sectors. By the end of this year,we will operate seven AI clusters in six countries across Europe, the US and the Middle East, making us one of the largest independentAI infrastructure builders globally. We expect to have 220 MW of connected power, which includes both active power and power that isfully provisioned in our data centers and can be activated immediately upon GPU installation.

 

United States

 

Strong demand continues to outpace capacityin the US as AI use-cases multiply. In light of the current market demand, coupled with capacity constraints, we are continuing to significantlygrow our US capacity in 2025.

 

Our Kansas City data center officially launched in April and we added more compute capacity in early July.
Our new facility in Vinefield, New Jersey is on track to open by the end of the summer and we plan to offer instances from this facility this fall.
We now have 200 MW of contracted power that is in active construction in New Jersey, of which 100 MW will be made available this year, with the rest following in 2026.

 

Europe & Middle East

 

Europe and the Middle East are largeand thriving AI markets, with significant venture capital funding for AI startups and a growing number of scaled enterprises seekingto leverage AI to power their products and processes. Nebius continued to expand its global capacity footprint during the quarter, cementingour strong positions in both regions.

 

We announced the development of two new data centers in the UK and Israel to support the large growth opportunities in Europe and the Middle East.
In June, we announced our first general availability of NVIDIA GB200 Grace Blackwell Superchip capacity for customers in Europe. We expect our deployment of NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs in the UK to be operational during Q4 2025.

 

4

 

 

 

We are on track to substantially complete the expansion of our Finnish data center by the end of 2025, bringing approximately 75 MW of contracted power to that facility.

 

Expanding & Diversifyingour Customer Base

 

Our full-stack AI Cloud offering,brand and partnership efforts, coupled with our sales execution, are starting to deliver strong results.

 

Q2 was an important turning point forour business. We continued to make strong progress with our core base of AI native tech startups, and also started to add new enterpriselogos like Cloudflare, Prosus and Shopify. Customers are taking note of our differentiated offering, our 24/7 customer and technicalsupport, and our ability to build products and tools tailored to our customers’ needs.

 

In Q2, we remained a top neocloud providerfor native AI tech startups, such as HeyGen, Lightning.AI, Photoroom, and many others.

 

We also continue to serve customersacross a broad range of industries, including financial services, life sciences, media & entertainment and technology.

 

Notably, Shopify recently discussedat length how they are using AI in their business, and how Nebius helps power their AI infrastructure needs. Read their insightful bloghere.

 

Elevating Cloud Experience

 

Our AI Cloud is a growing and differentiatedplatform.

 

From high-performance compute and orchestration(Slurm, Kubernetes) to ML operations, scalable storage, and a growing ecosystem of third-party AI tools, Nebius continues to lead asa full-stack AI cloud platform.

 

Our AI-native architecture gives customersthe flexibility of Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) with the velocity of Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and our momentum this quarterreflects the growing demand for performant, production-grade infrastructure that scales with their ambition.

 

The vast majority of our contractedcustomers use our AI Cloud because we provide mission-critical software and services that provide them with the applications and toolsthey need to manage and grow their AI workloads.

 

5

 

 

 

This quarter, we launched NebiusAI Cloud v3, which delivered a set of infrastructure and software upgrades focused on performance optimization, scheduling efficiency,system reliability, and customer flexibility at scale.

 

Setting new standards in performance

 

We continue to be a leader in infrastructureperformance. In our latest MLPerf® Training v5.0 submission, we achieved top-tier speed and scalability. Our benchmarks showed near-linearscaling – a ~2x speedup when doubling from 64 to 128 nodes – a reflection of the powerful performance and efficiency of theNebius infrastructure.

 

Complementing this, we shipped topology-awarejob scheduling across multiple frameworks (Slurm, Kubernetes, Volcano, Kueue). We also integrated NVIDIA Topograph to streamline topologydata ingestion.

 

Additionally, our ISEG2 system ranked#13 in the June 2025 TOP500 list of the world’s fastest supercomputers, and #1 in Europe among commercially available systems.

 

Reliability at scale

 

We pushed our infrastructure reliabilityto new heights, significantly increasing Mean Time Before Failure (MTBF) to 168,000 GPU hours per week for a 3,000-GPU cluster. Thisis the result of multiple improvements:

 

We reduced recurring problems that lead to job failures by 60%. We accomplished this by implementing a software stack that aggregates detailed analytics across all clusters automatically, enabling us to identify and focus on the most impactful root causes more effectively.
Smarter health checks and improved autohealing for Slurm clusters and Kubernetes environments, allowing for seamless node recovery and uninterrupted training. This means significantly more uptime and lower costs for AI workloads, allowing customers to complete their runs in a timely manner for less.

 

Expanding flexibility and customerchoice

 

To simplify data onboarding and broadensupport for diverse architectures, we launched:

 

A new data migration service for easy ingestion from any S3-compatible source – no extra infrastructure required. We believe this will make it much easier for customers to work with Nebius going forward.
   
Support for third-party AI-optimized storage solutions like WEKA and VAST, giving customers more control and performance tuning capabilities.

 

6

 

 

 

A new class of Object Storage optimized for streaming and checkpointing workloads, delivering up to 2 GB/s write throughput per GPU.

 

Accelerating our inference platform

 

Over the next several years, we believeinference has the potential to become a bigger opportunity than training, as more companies bring AI solutions at scale into their businesses.

 

We support AI-centric integratedsoftware vendors and enterprises that are applying AI in critical workflows with our fully vertically integratedinference-as-a-Service product. To do this, we are building an enterprise-grade platform that enables the deployment and scaling ofopen-source AI models like Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek, Flux, OpenAI’s new models, and others, with high performance and reliabilityon our dedicated infrastructure, giving full control in a unified API.

 

Our platform runs on top of Nebius’proven, scaled infrastructure to solve the biggest pain points in production AI: unpredictable latency, GPU bottlenecks, and expensive,inflexible platforms.

 

Roman Chernin, our Chief Business Officer,will now focus on new business innovation, starting with scaling our Inference-as-a-Service platform. We have a shared commitment toscaling inference into a key pillar of the business and to capture its significant market potential.

 

Expanding Our Ecosystem

 

We continued to expand our reachand drive brand affinity and awareness through strategic partnerships that strengthen our platform, increase visibility, and broadenour global presence.

 

We deepened our collaboration with NVIDIAby expanding our integrations with NVIDIA’s accelerated computing platform, including support for the NVIDIA AI Enterprise softwarestack. In parallel, we added new integrations that make Nebius infrastructure more accessible to developers and researchers:

 

AnyScale: offers a managed platform, built on Ray, an open-source unified compute framework for scaling AI and Python applications. This platform simplifies the deployment, scaling, and management of Ray applications. Our full integration with Anyscale facilitates easier deployment through the Nebius marketplace.

 

BaseTen: operates a high-performance inference platform serving some of the leading AI companies in the market and early adopting enterprises. We completed full integration with the BaseTen inference platform in Q2. BaseTen now runs internal workloads on Nebius, and end users can deploy on BaseTen Cloud with Nebius as the underlying infrastructure.

 

7

 

 

 

LightningAI: provides an end-to-end platform designed to simplify and accelerate the development, training, and deployment of AI models and application development. Lightning AI integrated with Nebius, enabling its 300,000+ community members to access our on-demand and preemptible compute offerings.

 

Mithril (Foundry): is a platform designed to simplify and optimize the process of building, training, and deploying machine learning models. Nebius infrastructure is now available through Mithril's omnicloud platform, giving users access to Nebius compute capacity in both US and EU regions for training, inference, and experimentation.

 

SkyPilot: offers an open-source framework for running AI and batch workloads on any infrastructure. We expanded our partnership with SkyPilot from Q1, and our April integration gives users a seamless path to run workloads on Nebius AI Cloud, helping bring new users to the platform while offering existing SkyPilot users an easy way to leverage Nebius's high-performance infrastructure.

 

Avride

 

Expanded robotic delivery use casesacross multiple geographies.

 

Avride continued to scale its autonomousdelivery operations. In the US, robots delivered Uber Eats orders from restaurants across Jersey City, Dallas and Austin. The businessalso piloted a grocery delivery use case from an H-E-B supermarket, one of Texas’s largest grocery chains. Restaurant deliveryoperations also continued at The Ohio State University through a partnership with Grubhub, launched in early 2025.

 

In Japan, Avride partnered with MitsuiFudosan to deploy robots at the country’s largest outlet mall. Robots deployed as part of this pilot are tasked with handling warehouse-to-storelogistics, such as delivering packing materials to stores and routing packed items to central pickup points for delivery.

 

Advanced preparations for autonomousride-hailing launch in Dallas.

 

In Q2, Avride continued fleet testingin Dallas in preparation for its commercial launch with Uber later in 2025. Testing focuses on real-world operating conditions to validatesafety and performance. The fleet includes Ioniq autonomous vehicles developed in partnership with Hyundai, with Avride responsible forsoftware development and systems integration.

TripleTen

 

Strong growth in student enrollmentdriving revenue.

 

TripleTen continued to deliver stronggrowth, supported by a quarter-over-quarter enrollment increase of approximately 6,000 new learners and growth in average revenue percheck. These trends reflect sustained demand across core markets, including the US and Latin America. Customer acquisition remained efficient,supported by continued referral-driven enrollments and sales team productivity.

 

Driving learning outcomes with afocus on margins.

 

TripleTen further leveraged AI-basedtools to improve learning outcomes while optimizing operational efficiency. The integration of AI Tutor contributed to a nearly 35% increasein project completion rates, while reducing costs associated with reliance on manual instruction. To support strong placement outcomes,TripleTen expanded job support services with no impact to cost. This included introducing career preparation earlier in the learner journey,doubling externship participation, and adding CV placement specialists to improve interview conversion. In Q2, TripleTen also launcheda new AI Automation course as part of its broader effort to stay ahead of emerging workforce demands.

 

Toloka and ClickHouse

 

In addition to our smaller businessunits, we own equity stakes in both Toloka and ClickHouse.

 

Toloka

 

In May, Toloka raised capital from leadinginvestors Bezos Expeditions and Mikhail Parakhin, as well as Nebius. In connection with this transaction, Nebius Group’s votingshare in Toloka dropped below 50%, giving the Toloka team more autonomy to grow and scale their business. Nebius continues to own a significantmajority economic stake in the business and intends to continue to support its growth and success. Our remaining stake in Toloka is accountedfor under the equity method.

 

ClickHouse

 

ClickHouse is an open-source databaseplatform, which we originally spun out in 2021. We currently own a minority equity stake in ClickHouse, and participated in the company’smost recent fundraising round.

Committed to Scaling Sustainably

 

Nebius published its 2024 sustainability report, underscoring howsustainability delivers wins for the business, customers and society more broadly.

 

The report – Nebius’s first prepared with reference tothe European Sustainability Reporting Standards – outlines how sustainability is embedded in our core strategy. It demonstrateshow this focus translates directly into competitive advantages, including operational cost leadership through energy efficiency, readinessfor evolving regulatory requirements, and differentiation in an increasingly sustainability-conscious market.

 

In the reporting year, we achieved approximately 20% lower total costof ownership through infrastructure efficiencies, including resilient hardware design and advanced energy-saving solutions. Our custom-designedservers alone saved 10 GWh of energy compared to off-the-shelf alternatives. Additionally, our data center in Finland covered 65% of thelocal municipality’s heating needs through heat recovery, while operating cooling systems without water or refrigerants.

 

In total, 94% of the electricity we consumed came from low-carbon sources,resulting in an emissions intensity of just 0.04 tCO₂-eq/MWh – among the lowest in the tech sector and reflecting our commitmentto sustainable, climate-responsible operations.

Group revenue was $105.1 million, up 625% and up 106% quarter-over-quarterexcluding Toloka’s results, which have been reclassified to discontinued operations.

 

Our core AI infrastructure business, which accounted for the vast majority of total group revenue in Q2’25, ended the quarterwith annualized run-rate revenue of $430 million, up from $249 million at the end of March.
Demand remained strong, driven by increasing AI use cases, growth in adoption, and the expansion of our client base.
The expansion of our sales force and customer support teams continued to propel strong growth. Even with our significant GPU capacityadditions, we operated at near-peak utilization by the end of the quarter.
Other businesses accounted for the remainder of the Group’s revenue.

TripleTen continued to deliver strong revenue growth supported by the addition of approximately 6,000 new students across the US andLatin America and the launch of new programs.
Avride’s revenue contribution in Q2 was immaterial.

 

Operating expense

 

In USD $ millions  Three months ended June 30

Total operating costs and expenses   126.7    216.3    71%
as a percentage of revenues   874%   206%     

 

Cost of revenue was $30.1 million, up 291%, representing 29%of revenue, down from 53% in Q2 2024. The decline as percentage of revenue was primarily driven by the scaling of our core AI infrastructurebusiness.

 

Product development expenses were $42.8 million, up 34%, representing41% of revenue, a significant decline from the 221% of revenue reported in Q2’24. The dollar increase in product development expenseswas primarily driven by the expansion of our engineering teams.

 

Sales, general and administrative expenses were $68.2 million,down 10%, representing 65% of revenue, which was down from 521% of revenue in Q2’24. In Q2’24 we incurred significant consulting,legal and professional fees which were incremental to our main operating activities. Excluding these incremental expenses, SG&A inQ2’25 increased from Q2’24 due to higher share-based compensation expenses.

Depreciation and amortization expenses (“D&A”)for the group were $75.2 million compared to $11.4 million in the prior year period, or 72% of revenue for the period, down from 79% inQ2’24. The key driver of the dollar increase in D&A expenses was the significant ramp-up in investments in GPU-related capitalexpenditures and related data center hardware for the core AI infrastructure business. We depreciate our hardware over a four-year periodwhich we believe is conservative when compared to some other cloud providers.

 

Adjusted EBITDA

The Group's adjusted EBITDA loss was $21.0 million in Q2’25,representing a $37.1 million year-to-year improvement. This was driven primarily by the growth of our core business, which generated positiveadjusted EBITDA in Q2’25. Our investments in Avride and TripleTen resulted in an adjusted EBITDA loss for the quarter.

 

Capital Expenditures

 

In Q2, our capital expenditures were $510.6 million, primarily drivenby purchases of GPUs and GPU-related hardware, and our data center expansion activities.

Use of Non-GAAP financial measures

 

To supplement the financial information prepared and presented in accordancewith U.S. GAAP, we present the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA/(loss) and Adjusted net income/(loss). The presentationof these financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial informationprepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tablescaptioned “Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest comparable U.S. GAAP measures”, included followingthe accompanying financial tables. We define the various non-GAAP financial measures we use as follows:

 

Adjusted EBITDA/(loss) means U.S. GAAP net income/(loss) from continuing operations plus (1) depreciation and amortization, (2) certainSBC expense, (3) interest expense, (4) income tax expense/(benefit), (5) one-off restructuring and other expenses, less(1) interest income, (2) other income/(loss), net, (3) income/(loss) from equity method investments and (4) gain fromrevaluation of investment in equity securities.

 

Adjusted net income/(loss) means U.S. GAAP net income/(loss) from continuing operations plus (1) certain SBC expense, (2) one-offrestructuring and other expenses, (3) amortization of debt discount and issuance costs less (1) foreign exchange gains and (2) gainfrom revaluation of investment in equity securities. Tax effects related to the listed adjustments are excluded from adjusted net income.

 

These non-GAAP financial measures are used by management for evaluatingfinancial performance as well as decision-making. Management believes that these metrics reflect the organic, core operating performanceof the company, and therefore are useful to analysts and investors in providing supplemental information that helps them understand, modeland forecast the evolution of our operating business.

 

Although our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures foroperational decision-making and considers these financial measures to be useful for analysts and investors, we recognize that there area number of limitations related to such measures. In particular, it should be noted that several of these measures exclude some recurringcosts, particularly certain share-based compensation. In addition, the components of the costs that we exclude in our calculation of themeasures described above may differ from the components that our peer companies exclude when they report their results of operations.

 

Below we describe why we make particular adjustments to certain U.S.GAAP financial measures:

 

Net income/(loss) from discontinued operations

 

We present Adjusted net loss excluding any effects of our discontinuedoperations.

 

14

 

 

 

Information on our discontinued operations is disclosed in our AnnualReport on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)on April 30, 2025. In Q2 2025 following the completion of the investment transaction in Toloka, an AI development platform, Nebiusceased to hold majority voting power in Toloka and no longer include Toloka’s results in Nebius’ consolidated financial statementsand reports its stake as equity method investment. The Toloka’s results for prior periods were reclassified to discontinued operations.

 

Certain SBC expense

 

SBC (Stock-Based Compensation) is a significant expense item and animportant part of our compensation and incentive programs. As it is highly dependent on our share price at the time of equity award grants,we believe that it is useful for investors and analysts to see certain financial measures excluding the impact of these charges in orderto obtain a clearer picture of our operating performance. However, because we settled some RSU equity awards of our employees grantedbefore 2022 in cash during 2024, a portion of stock-based compensation expense for 2024 was included in Adjusted EBITDA/(loss).

 

Foreign exchange gains/(losses)

 

The functional currency of Nebius Group N.V. is the United States Dollar,which is also the Group’s current reporting currency. Foreign exchange gain/(loss) dynamics reflect changes in the U.S. dollar valueof monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in other currencies, as well as changes in the functional currencies of foreignsubsidiaries' monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies different from their respective local currencies. Becauseforeign exchange fluctuations are outside of our operational control, we believe that it is useful to present Adjusted EBITDA/(loss),adjusted net income/(loss) and related margin measures excluding these effects, in order to provide greater clarity regarding our operatingperformance.

 

One-off restructuring and other expenses

 

We believe that it is useful to present Adjusted net income/(loss),Adjusted EBITDA/(loss) and related margin measures excluding impacts not related to our operating activities. Adjusted net income/(loss)and Adjusted EBITDA/(loss) exclude certain expenses related to the restructuring and other similar one-off expenses.

 

The tables at the end of this release provide detailed reconciliationsof each non-GAAP financial measure we use from the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure.

 

Amortization of debt discount and issuance costs

 

15

 

 

 

We also adjust net income/(loss) for interest expense representingamortization of the debt discount and issuance costs related to our convertible senior notes due 2029 and 2031 issued in Q2 2025. Debtdiscount represents the accretion of the nominal amount of notes payable at maturity, unless the relevant notes have been earlier repurchased,redeemed or converted in accordance with their terms. We adjust net income/(loss) for the interest expense recognized from amortizationof the debt discount and issuance costs due to the significantly different timing of payment in relation to the operating results.
