Nebius Group N.V., headquartered in Amsterdam and listed on Nasdaq, defines itself as a global AI cloud platform that delivers a unified full-stack AI cloud spanning the complete AI journey. The company's offering ranges from compute capacity to software and services that enable fast and efficient training and inference at scale. Founded around deep in-house technological expertise, Nebius provides a comprehensive and integrated suite of AI and ML cloud solutions, including both hardware and software built in-house. The group also includes two distinct businesses operating under separate brands: Avride, a developer of autonomous vehicles and delivery robots, and TripleTen, an edtech platform reskilling people for tech careers. Nebius Group also owns significant equity stakes in ClickHouse and Toloka, both of which have been spun out of the group.
The company operates through three distinct business units. The core Nebius segment is a full-stack AI cloud platform encompassing data centers, in-house-designed infrastructure, and an integrated software layer with advanced tools to support any use case across the AI lifecycle. Avride is described as a leading developer of autonomous vehicles and delivery robots, operating in a capital-intensive and early-stage, highly regulated sector. TripleTen is a leading edtech platform focused on reskilling people for careers in tech. No revenue share percentages for these segments are disclosed in this section.
The Nebius AI cloud platform is architected to serve different user personas across the AI lifecycle. For IT operations and DevOps teams, it provides Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) with elastic scaling, virtual machines, containers, and AI-optimized storage. For data scientists and ML engineers, the MLOps layer offers a catalogue of third-party applications (MLflow, JupyterLab, vLLM), serverless training jobs and inference endpoints, and orchestration tools including the company's own open-source Soperator, a Slurm-on-Kubernetes solution. For AI engineers and product managers, the AIOps layer features Nebius Token Factory, an enterprise-grade managed inference service released in November 2025 that is monetized through a token-based model. The platform also includes Model Hub for access to NVIDIA NIMs, and agentic services following the February 2026 acquisition of Tavily, an agentic search provider. The company also announced plans to bring Tendem.ai into the ecosystem for human-in-the-loop validation.
Nebius is actively building out its global sales team, which it notes has been expanding rapidly in recent quarters from a low base. The company's cloud platform provides self-service provisioning through well-documented interfaces including GUI, API, IaC/Terraform, and SDKs. Sales cycles for core offerings can be relatively long and unpredictable, often requiring extensive customer education and testing. The company has secured longer-term customer contracts with Meta and Microsoft, though it notes that most customer engagements to date have been relatively short-term, and it has limited experience in delivering, implementing, and managing longer-term contracts at scale.
The market for Nebius's offerings is described as intensely competitive and evolving at a rapid pace. For its core AI infrastructure business, key competitors are identified as specialized cloud service providers focused on AI, including CoreWeave, Crusoe, and Lambda. The company also competes with general purpose cloud computing providers including Amazon (AWS), Google (Google Cloud Platform), Microsoft (Azure), and Oracle. Additionally, national governments have announced or launched initiatives in certain jurisdictions, including the U.S., to sponsor, support, or otherwise encourage the development of AI infrastructure, which may intensify competition. Many competitors are noted to have greater financial, technical, marketing, and sales resources, greater name recognition, longer operating histories, and a larger customer base.
Nebius's strategy centers on significant continuing expansion of its data center footprint through multiple models: greenfield facilities where it owns land and designs every aspect; brownfield sites with existing assets for faster time-to-market; build-to-suit partnerships with developers; and co-location agreements with third-party providers. As of February 2026, the company had contracted more than 2 GW of power across more than 16 data center locations in Europe, the Middle East, and the United States. The company intends to raise additional equity or debt financing to support its capital-intensive growth. It is also focused on expanding its integrated software stack toward supporting agentic systems, including real-time data integration through the Tavily acquisition and human-in-the-loop validation through Tendem. Strategic partnerships, such as the collaboration with Nvidia announced in March 2026 to develop and deploy the next generation of hyperscale cloud for the AI market, are a key element of the growth strategy.
The company is continuing to build out its senior management team and notes that its future success depends on hiring and retaining key management and technical personnel. The loss of existing key personnel, particularly founder and CEO Arkady Volozh and key infrastructure and technical personnel, is identified as a risk that could disrupt operations. Nebius is actively expanding its global sales team and faces substantial competition for highly skilled development and technical personnel in the technology and AI industries. The company notes that current and prospective employees may give significant weight to the value of equity awards, and fluctuations in the Class A share price may impact its ability to attract and retain talent. No total employee headcount is disclosed in this section.

It does not contain any Management's Discussion and Analysis of financial condition and results of operations. Therefore, no analysis of period-over-period revenue, margins, or EPS performance can be provided from this content.
The document content exclusively details the beneficial ownership of the company's shares by directors, executive officers, and principal shareholders. There is no information on business segments, their revenue, or operational momentum.
The content does not include any guidance, management outlook, or strategic priorities. It is strictly a disclosure of share ownership and voting power as of March 31, 2026, and a reference to Note 16 for related party transactions.
As of December 31, 2025, Nebius Group N.V. reported cash and cash equivalents of $3,678.1 million, a significant increase from $2,434.7 million at the end of 2024. Total debt stood at $4,127.7 million, with $24.5 million classified as current and $4,103.2 million as non-current. The substantial non-current debt balance reflects the convertible notes issuances completed in June 2025, September 2025, and March 2026. Shareholders' equity increased to $4,594.0 million from $3,253.7 million, driven by proceeds from equity sales and the overall net income for the year. Deferred revenue, both current and non-current, totaled $1,577.5 million, up from $16.3 million in the prior year, reflecting significant upfront payments received under new customer contracts.
The Notes disclose several material commercial agreements. A Commercial Agreement with Microsoft, effective September 7, 2025, provides Microsoft access to dedicated GPU infrastructure capacity over a five-year term with an estimated total contract value of up to $17.4 billion through 2031. Additionally, an Infrastructure Services Agreement with Meta, dated March 13, 2026, has a total contract value of up to approximately $27 billion. This includes $12 billion for dedicated GPU capacity orders and a further order for unsold capacity with a potential value of up to $15 billion. A prior Cloud Infrastructure Services Agreement with Meta from November 1, 2025, has a total contract value of approximately $2.9 billion. These agreements include service-level commitments and provide customers with rights to service credits or termination under specified conditions.
Capital allocation activities were dominated by significant capital expenditures and financing transactions. Purchases of property and equipment and intangible assets totaled $4,066.0 million for the year, reflecting heavy investment in GPU-based server infrastructure and data center facilities. Financing activities generated $5,125.5 million, primarily from $4,162.5 million in proceeds from convertible notes issuances and $1,150.0 million from the sale of equity securities. An at-the-market equity program for up to 25 million Class A shares was established in November 2025, though no shares had been sold under it as of the filing date. The company also sold a pre-funded Class A shares purchase warrant to NVIDIA for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $2 billion. No dividends were paid, and the company has no present plan to pay cash dividends in the near term. No share buybacks occurred during the year ended December 31, 2025.
No segment-level financial data was disclosed within the Notes to the Financial Statements section provided.
Nebius Group N.V.'s cash flow statement for the year ended December 31, 2025, reflects a significant turnaround in operating cash generation. Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,234.5 million, a substantial improvement from the prior year's cash outflow of $500.0 million. This positive swing was primarily driven by robust net income, which included a $597.4 million non-cash upward adjustment from the remeasurement of its investment in ClickHouse. Excluding this non-cash item, underlying operating cash flow remained strong, supported by core business growth.
Capital expenditure intensity was notably high, with purchases of property and equipment totaling $1,200.0 million. This heavy investment in infrastructure, likely related to the company's cloud-based AI services, resulted in a modest free cash flow of $34.5 million. The company's free cash flow coverage of capital returns is not applicable, as no dividends were paid and no share repurchases were conducted during the period.
A key anomaly in the period is the impact of the divestiture of International Public Joint-Stock Company YANDEX, which is reflected in net income from discontinued operations. The cash flow statement shows a clear divergence between reported net income and operating cash flow, largely reconciled by the significant non-cash gain on the ClickHouse investment and other working capital adjustments. The company's financing activities generated $500.0 million, indicating external capital raises to support its aggressive investment strategy.
