Operating Segments
Our primary business, Nebius, delivers a unified full-stack AI cloud platform that spans the complete AI journey – from compute capacity to software and services that enable fast and efficient AI application deployment and inference at scale.
In addition to our Nebius AI cloud business, Nebius Group also holds two distinct businesses that operate under separate brands:
● Avride – a developer of autonomous driving technology for self-driving vehicles and delivery robotics.
● TripleTen – a leading edtech platform focused on re-skilling individuals for careers in technology.
Components of Results of Operations
Revenue
Our Nebius AI cloud business generates revenue by providing our customers with a comprehensive and integrated AI cloud platform, underpinned by high-performance GPU compute capacity, storage, and networking resources, as well as value-add software solutions. The Nebius AI cloud business is designed to support the entire AI lifecycle - from building and deploying AI models, to managing large-scale AI applications and producing inference tokens. Revenue from the cloud platform is recognized as services provided in accordance with customer contract due dates and the applicable contract model. We offer both on-demand “pay-as-you-go” pricing and fixed “reserved capacity” contracts.
TripleTen generates revenue from educational services to individual customers (students) through boot camps and project-based learning opportunities by providing online educational products.
Avride has made only a limited contribution to the total revenue to date.
Operating costs and expenses
We classify operating costs and expenses as follows: cost of revenues; product development; sales, general and administrative; and depreciation and amortization.
Cost of Revenues Cost of revenues primarily consists of costs of operation and co-location of data center facilities, electricity, utility and maintenance costs in data centers, personnel costs, payment processing and students’ tuition fees and other related expenses. The Group’s owned Finland data center together with rented data center facilities and co-location agreements are significant components of the Group’s cost of revenues.
Product development Product development expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, including share-based compensation expenses, incurred for the development of, enhancement to and maintenance of the Group’s technology platforms, from infrastructure to software. Product development expenses also include rent and utilities attributable to office spaces occupied by development staff.
Sales, general and administrative
Sales, general and administrative expenses include expenses for personnel engaged in sales and promotion of products to the market, or performing general or administrative functions, including share-based compensation expenses; rental of office space and related utilities in proportion to the number of employees performing these functions; training and hiring expenses; advertising and marketing expenses, including the costs of organizing promotions; legal and audit services; and other expenses related to the Group’s wider operating activities.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses relate to the depreciation of property and equipment, mainly servers and networking equipment, data center related infrastructure equipment and office furniture, and the amortization of intangible assets.
Share-based compensation In the consolidated statements of operations, share-based compensation expense is recorded in the same functional area as the expense for the recipient’s cash compensation. As a result, share-based compensation expense is allocated among the cost of revenues; product development expenses; and sales, general and administrative expenses.
Interest income Interest income is mainly generated from short-term bank deposits and cash account balances.
Interest expense Interest expense primarily consists of contractual interest and the amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs associated with our outstanding debt obligations. It also includes interest accretion related to significant financing components arising from differences between the timing of the transfer of goods or services to customers and the timing of customer payments. Interest expense is reflected net of capitalized interest.
Gain from revaluation of investments in equity securities
Gain from revaluation of investments in equity securities includes primarily the remeasurement of our investment in ClickHouse, following a third-party investment in that company.
Income / (loss) from equity method investments
Income / (loss) from equity method investments includes the results of Toloka, which was deconsolidated in the second quarter of 2025 and subsequently accounted for under the equity method, and minor stakes in venture capital funds.
Other income, net Other income, net consists of gains from investments in money market funds and foreign exchange gains and losses. Dynamics of foreign exchange gains and losses reflect changes in the U.S. dollar value (the Group’s reporting currency) of monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in other currencies (primarily the euro), as well as changes in the functional currencies of foreign subsidiaries' monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies different from their respective local currencies.
Results of Operations Comparative financial information appearing elsewhere in this report has been recast to reflect the results of Toloka within discontinued operations. The following table presents our historical consolidated results of continuing operations for the periods indicated:
(1) These balances exclude depreciation and amortization expenses, which are presented separately.
Net income from continuing operations was $430.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with net income of $398.2 million in the comparative period in 2025. The change in net income/(loss) was primarily due to the increase in loss from operations from $231.5 million to $303.9 million, reflecting the continuing expansion of our core infrastructure business, as well as an increase in interest expense, largely offset by the higher gain from the revaluation of our investment in ClickHouse and increases in other income, net and interest income.
