1) The revised IAS 19 standard has had the following effects on the consolidated income statement for 1-12/2012: personnel expenses increased by EUR 0.1 million and EBITDA and operating profit and profit before taxes decreased correspondingly by EUR 0.1 million. The revised IAS 19 standard has had the following effects on the consolidated income statement for 1-9/2012: personnel expenses increased by EUR 0.5 million and EBITDA and operating profit and profit before taxes decreased correspondingly by EUR 0.5 million. The revised IAS 19 standard has had the following effects on the consolidated income statement for 7-9/2012: personnel expenses increased by EUR 0.2 million and EBITDA and operating profit and profit before taxes decreased correspondingly by EUR 0.2 million.

2) Interest-bearing net debt and gearing for 2012 are not comparable to the figures in 2013 due to the new credit facility transferred to Caverion Corporation as a result of the partial demerger as per June 30, 2013.

3) Excluding the financial cost effect for January–June 2013 of the new financing arrangements transferred to Caverion Corporation as a result of the partial demerger. If the refinancing under the new loan agreement would have been drawn down at the beginning of the financial year, the net financing expenses in January-September would have amounted to approximately EUR 6.1 million.

Caverion has formed a separate legal group as of June 30, 2013. The financial information presented in this interim report is based on actual figures as an independent group after the consummation of the demerger and carve-out figures prior to the consummation of the demerger. The carve-out financial information presented in this interim report reflects the performance and financial position of the entities that have historically formed the Building Services business within YIT Group. Accordingly, the consolidated statement of financial position as of September 30, 2013, consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income and consolidated statement of cash flows for the period July – September 2013 and the related key figures are based on actual figures as an independent group. The income statements, statements of cash flows, statements of financial position and comparative figures for the periods before June 30, 2013 are based on carve-out financial information of Building Services business of YIT Group.

Word from the CEO Juhani Pitkäkoski: Profitability improved according to plan

"This is a historic first quarterly report for Caverion Corporation after the demerger from YIT Corporation, and we are delighted to present our first quarterly figures as an independent company.

We are satisfied with the improvement of profitability in the third quarter. We have had extensive efficiency improvement measures under way and the impact of these measures is already visible. The previously announced measures to carry out cost savings by reducing the number of personnel by a further 600 employees in 2013 were finalised during the third quarter.

In Sweden, the efficiency programme is progressing well and profitability is improving according to plan. The restructuring measures taken have had a positive impact on the profitability of the Swedish operations also in the third quarter. In Norway, we are still focusing on improving the profitability of the project business, especially in the capital region. The focus has been on closing unprofitable units and being more selective in project business. The efficiency programme has been delayed and we expect that the impact of the new measures will be seen in Norway next year. Our service efficiency programme is ongoing in all countries in which we operate.

Up until now we have been focusing on increasing the profitability and efficiency of our business. Now we are also focusing on more efficient use of capital. We have therefore introduced a new financial target: working capital, with the target to reach negative working capital by the end of 2016. By addressing this, we can free up capital tied up in our operations and improve our cash flow going forward."

GUIDANCE FOR THE SECOND HALF OF 2013

Caverion repeats the estimate announced on June 4, 2013, according to which the Group's revenue for the second half of 2013 is more than EUR 1.3 billion and EBITDA more than EUR 50 million.

The guidance does not take into account the non-recurring expenses related to the demerger, or the expenses related to any potential mergers or acquisitions.

The operations in Finland were stable and at a good level in July–September. The efficiency programme in Sweden is progressing well and the operations are now developing according to plan, which is expected to contribute favourably to the development of profitability during the fourth quarter. Norway is suffering from very low profitability. The low order intake in Germany in the first half of 2013 has been reflected as lower revenue in January–September compared to the previous year. The improved order backlog in the third quarter 2013 was a positive sign, but is not expected to contribute to revenue until the first half of next year.

Market outlook for Caverion's services

Caverion operates in Sweden, Finland, Norway, Germany, Austria, Denmark, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, the Czech Republic and Romania. The extensive geographical area of operations and comprehensive portfolio balance the effect of economic fluctuations.

The increased technology in buildings increases the need for new services, and the demand for energy efficiency services is expected to remain stable. The opportunities for growth in service and maintenance are still favourable in all of Caverion's operational areas.

Decision-making on new investments is still slow, but positive signs can be seen. New investments in building systems are expected to increase slightly. Increasing public investments and an increasing need for renovation and repair work are expected to be the key factors behind the growth.

There is potential for energy efficiency services over the next few years with the tightening of environmental legislation. Environmental certifications and energy efficiency will be increasingly significant factors in the future, allowing property owners to increase the value of their properties, which will continue to support growth opportunities. Also an increasing number of properties will be connected to control rooms through remote monitoring in command centres. Services and projects related to the maintenance of traffic infrastructure are also estimated to develop favourably.

Revenue decreased by 10 percent in January–September compared to the previous year, amounting to EUR 1,855.5 million (1–9/2012: EUR 2,054.8 million). The revenue for July–September decreased by 11 percent compared to the previous year, amounting to EUR 594.8 million (7-9/2012: EUR 664.7 million). The revenue decreased mainly due to increased selectiveness in project business in Norway and Sweden, low project volume in Germany and due to lower volume in service and maintenance. Changes in foreign exchange rates decreased the revenue for January–September by EUR 0.3 million and for July–September by EUR 15.0 million compared to the previous year.

The revenue of Building Services Northern Europe decreased by 9 percent in January–September compared to the previous year, amounting to EUR 1,403.6 million (1–9/2012: EUR 1,536.5 million). Changes in foreign exchange rates decreased the revenue for January–September by EUR 0.2 million compared to the previous year. The revenue for July–September decreased by 11 percent compared to the previous year to EUR 434.0 million (7–9/2012: EUR 485.3 million). Changes in foreign exchange rates decreased the revenue for July– September by EUR 14.8 million compared to the previous year. Revenue decreased in Norway and Industrial Services in particular.

The revenue of Building Services Central Europe decreased by 13 percent in January–September compared to the previous year, amounting to EUR 452.1 million (1–9/2012: EUR 518.4 million).

1) The revised IAS 19 standard has had the following effects on the consolidated income statement for 1-12/2012: personnel expenses increased by EUR 0.1 million and EBITDA and operating profit and profit before taxes decreased correspondingly by EUR 0.1 million. The revised IAS 19 standard has had the following effects on the consolidated income statement for 1-9/2012: personnel expenses increased by EUR 0.5 million and EBITDA and operating profit and profit before taxes decreased correspondingly by EUR 0.5 million. The revised IAS 19 standard has had the following effects on the consolidated income statement for 7-9/2012: personnel expenses increased by EUR 0.2 million and EBITDA and operating profit and profit before taxes decreased correspondingly by EUR 0.2 million.

The Group EBITDA decreased by 39 percent compared to the previous year, amounting to EUR 45.6 million in January–September (1–9/2012: EUR 75.4 million). The Group EBITDA for January–September is burdened by HOCHTIEF Service Solutions M&A related project costs amounting to EUR 1.4 million, one-off items relating to restructuring amounting to EUR 4.2 million, as well as demerger related costs amounting to EUR 3.8 million. The Group EBITDA margin was 2.5 percent in January–September (1–9/2012: 3.7%). The Group EBITDA for July– September decreased by 11 percent from the previous year to EUR 23.3 million (7–9/2012: EUR 26.3 million) or EUR 26.8 million excluding one-off items (7-9/2012: EUR 26.3 million). The Group EBITDA for July–September is burdened by demerger related costs which amounted to EUR 3.5 million in July–September, of which EUR 2.7 million in Northern Europe and EUR 0.8 million in Central Europe. The Group EBITDA margin was 3.9 percent in July–September (7–9/2012: 4.0%).

In Building Services Northern Europe, the EBITDA for the review period decreased by 43 percent from the previous year to EUR 33.8 million (1–9/2012: EUR 59.2 million). The segment EBITDA for January–September is burdened by one-off items relating to restructuring amounting to EUR 4.2 million and demerger related costs amounting to EUR 2.7 million. The weak profitability of the project business, tight price competition in tenderbased projects and low business volume contributed to the decrease in the segment EBITDA in January– September. Customers also postponed additional service and maintenance work, and as a result, the utility rate of operations was too low. The segment's EBITDA for July–September decreased by 15 percent from the previous year to EUR 17.5 million (7–9/2012: EUR 20.7 million). In addition, demerger related costs of approximately EUR 2.7 million burdened the EBITDA of the segment in July–September. In Northern Europe, the EBITDA margins improved in all areas apart from Norway in July–September. In Sweden, the efficiency programme is progressing well and the profitability is improving according to plan. Industrial Services performed very well in July–September, operations in Finland showed stable performance and the operations in Denmark turned back to profit. In Norway, the project business (especially in the capital region) had weak profitability.

In Building Services Central Europe, the EBITDA for January–September decreased by 26 percent compared to the previous year, mainly due to the lower volume of German operations, and amounted to EUR 15.7 million (1– 9/2012: EUR 21.2 million). EBITDA of Building Services Central Europe for January–September is burdened by HOCHTIEF Service Solutions M&A related project costs amounting to EUR 1.4 million and demerger related costs of EUR 0.8 million. The segment's EBITDA for July–September increased by 1 percent and was EUR 6.9 million (7–9/2012: EUR 6.8 million). EBITDA for July–September is burdened by demerger related costs amounting to EUR 0.8 million.

Caverion aims to improve the profitability of Building Services Northern Europe. The restructuring of operations proceeded during the review period in all countries where Building Services Northern Europe operates. The previously announced measures to carry out cost savings by decreasing the number of personnel by a further 600 employees in 2013 were finalised during the third quarter.

In Sweden, profitability is improving according to plan. The restructuring measures (such as the closing of unprofitable units and improving the business mix) have had a positive impact on the profitability of the Swedish operations also in the third quarter and, as a result, the profitability in July–September improved according to plan compared to the previous year. Industrial Services performed very well and the operations in Denmark turned back to profit.

In Norway, we are still focusing on improving the profitability of the project business, especially in the capital region. The focus has been on closing unprofitable units and being more selective in the project business. The efficiency programme has been delayed and the impact of the new measures is expected to be seen in Norway next year. Furthermore, a service efficiency programme is on-going in all countries in which Caverion operates.

Caverion will provide facility maintenance services and be responsible for the effectiveness, usability, condition and energy management of the premises for the full duration of the life cycle contract. The building's energy efficiency will be improved by utilising geothermal energy for heating and cooling, demand-controlled ventilation and lighting as well as partial LED lighting. Construction will start at the beginning of 2014 and the project is estimated to be completed in June 2015.

In Russia, Caverion signed agreements in St. Petersburg and Moscow on the expansion of building system maintenance services offered to Burger King restaurants and on the maintenance of building systems for DIXY grocery shops in several towns and cities. The agreement signed with Burger King expands the scope of the cooperation started in 2012 to more than 65 restaurants. The agreement covers the maintenance and repair of all building systems in properties. The maintenance agreements for DIXY grocery shops cover the building system maintenance and repair services of approximately 60 shops in the Tula region and nearly 50 shops in the Pskov and Novgorod region.

In Germany Caverion signed an agreement on the delivery of building services systems to the new Milaneo building complex to be built on the Mailänder Platz in Stuttgart, Germany. Work started in August and is scheduled to be completed in June 2015. Caverion will deliver modern ventilation and air conditioning systems and smoke extractor equipment to the approximately 43,000 m² shopping centre to be built in the complex. More than 400 apartments, over 7,000 m² of office space and a hotel with 165 rooms will be built on the roof of the three-storey shopping centre. Caverion will deliver the energy-efficient ventilation and air conditioning systems, heating and cooling systems as well as all plumbing and piping for the facilities. The German Sustainable Building Council awarded the building with a gold precertificate even before construction began.

In Sweden, Caverion Sverige AB has been chosen to provide facility management services for Holmen Paper in Braviken, Sweden. Caverion will take on responsibility for property maintenance and external areas at the paper mill which comprises 170,000 square metres of production space, 5,000 square metres of office space and 360,000 square metres of external area.

Caverion has also been chosen by Kalmar municipality to carry out one of Sweden's largest projects to upgrade their properties. The cost of energy will be reduced by EUR 21 million over the next 20 years. The project started in 2012 when Caverion analysed the buildings regarding upgrade needs, identified energy conservation measures and calculated the cost. Approximately 50–70 people will be employed and the project will be carried out during 2013–2016. The energy use will be reduced by more than 20% to meet the environmental requirement of the EU.

Working capital management in focus

Up until now we have been focusing on increasing the profitability and efficiency of our business. Now we are also focusing on the more efficient use of capital. We have therefore introduced a new financial target: working capital, with the target to reach negative working capital by the end of 2016. By addressing this, we can free up capital tied up in our operations and improve our cash flow going forward.

Working capital decreased by 7 percent compared to the previous year and amounted to EUR 119.9 million at the end of September (9/2012: EUR 128.3 million).

Profit before taxes and earnings per share

Profit before taxes amounted to EUR 25.5 million and earnings per share amounted to EUR 0.15 in January– September, excluding the financial cost effect for January–June 2013 of the new financing arrangements transferred to Caverion Corporation as a result of the partial demerger. If the refinancing under the new loan agreement would have been drawn down at the beginning of the financial year, the net financing expenses in January–September would have amounted to approximately EUR 6.1 million.

The effective tax rate of the Group was 28.1 percent in January–September (1–12/2012: 29.0%).

DEVELOPMENT BY BUSINESS AREA

Caverion aims to be the leading and the most efficient building systems company in Europe. In the future, Caverion aims to increase the share of service and maintenance operations of the business volume in Central Europe, both organically and through acquisitions, as service and maintenance is considered to offer high growth potential, especially in German-speaking countries. The company is also aiming further in the value chain and aims to strengthen its position particularly in Design & Build projects and increase the share of long-term service agreements in the service and maintenance business.

In July–September, the service and maintenance business generated EUR 320.4 million (7–9/2012: EUR 361.3 million) on a Group level, or 53.9 percent of the total revenue of Caverion Group (7–9/2012: 54.3%).

In Building Services Northern Europe the service and maintenance business generated EUR 854.8 million (1– 9/2012: EUR 977.1 million), or 60.9 percent of the segment's total revenue in January–September (1–9/2012: 63.6%).

The share of service and maintenance was still significantly lower in Building Services Central Europe (1– 9/2013: 37.3%) than in Building Services Northern Europe (1–9/2013: 60.9%), and therefore the opportunities for increasing it in Building Services Central Europe are good.

In July– September, the project business generated EUR 274.3 million (7–9/2012: EUR 303.6 million) on a Group level, or 46.1 percent of the total revenue of Caverion Group (7–9/2012: 45.7%).

In Building Services Northern Europe, the project business generated EUR 548.8 million (1–9/2012: EUR 559.6 million), or 39.1 percent of the segment's total revenue in January–September (1–9/2012: 36.4%).

Caverion excels in large projects where it is involved throughout the project from designing the solution to delivering the technology. Higher profitability than in individual tender-based projects is typical of such project development. The aim is to improve the profitability of project business through more careful project selection, increasingly systematic risk management and more efficient procurement.

STRATEGY AND LONG-TERM FINANCIAL TARGETS

Caverion's strategic objective is to achieve a leading position in the European building systems market. The strategy has three main objectives:

  • x In Northern Europe, the key aim is to improve profitability.
  • x In Central Europe, Caverion will pursue strong growth, especially in Germany and German-speaking countries. The aim is to grow both organically and through acquisitions.
  • x Extensive new and advanced projects and services. The company will pursue growth and profitability by putting an emphasis on long-term service agreements in the service and maintenance business, Design & Build projects and deliveries related to energy savings.

The Board of Directors of Caverion approved the amended financial targets of Caverion Corporation on October 31, 2013. The financial targets for Caverion for the strategy period 2014-2016 are:

TARGET ACTUAL 2012 (Carve-out)
Revenue growth (%) Average annual growth in
revenue of more than 10
percent
-2.5
Profitability (%) EBITDA over six percent of
revenue
3.0
Working capital (EUR million) Negative 119.9 (as per 30 September
2013)

Working capital has been defined as inventories + current, non-interest-bearing receivables and liabilities excluding cash and cash equivalents (calculation formula below):

Working capital = Inventories + Trade and POC receivables + Other current receivables - Trade and POC payables - Other current payables - Advances received – Current provisions. Does not include non-current provisions or pension obligations.

There is no certainty of the company achieving the above financial targets or being able to maintain them if it reaches them. The company uses the above-mentioned and other financial targets and performance indicators at selected intervals in its business.

Dividends and dividend policy

Caverion's aim is to distribute at least 50 per cent of the result for the year after taxes, excluding changes in fair value, as dividend and capital redemption to the company's shareholders. Even though there are no plans to amend this dividend policy, there is no guarantee that a dividend or capital redemption will actually be paid in the future, and also there is no guarantee of the amount of the dividend or return of capital to be paid for any given year.

FINANCING

Refinancing relating to the partial demerger was finalised as planned during June. As a result, Caverion's loan portfolio consists of diverse sources and has a diversified maturity structure to mitigate refinancing risk. Caverion has a solid liquidity reserve to meet the debt repayments falling due during the calendar year and to cover the potential funding need over the planning period of business operations including planned capital expenditure. Overall, the Group's financing position enables the implementation of the Group's growth strategy.

Caverion's cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 56.2 million at the end of September (6/2013: EUR 43.8 million). In addition, Caverion has undrawn revolving credit facilities amounting to EUR 60 million and undrawn overdraft facilities amounting to EUR 19 million.

The Group's interest-bearing loans and borrowings amounted to EUR 246.3 million at the end of September (6/2013: EUR 237.8 million), and the average interest rate after hedges was 2.09 per cent. Fixed-rate loans after hedges accounted for approximately 31 percent of the Group's borrowings. Approximately 84 percent of the loans have been raised from banks and other financial institutions, approximately 9 percent directly from the money markets and approximately 6 percent from insurance companies. A total of EUR 74.1 million of the interestbearing loans and borrowings will fall due during the next 12 months.

Caverion's external financing consists mainly of a credit facility with a Nordic bank group. The facility was transferred to Caverion Corporation upon the registration of the partial demerger. It includes an amortising longterm loan facility of EUR 140 million falling due in June 2016, a long-term revolving credit facility of EUR 60 million falling due in June 2016 (which was undrawn at the end of September) and a short-term bridge loan facility of EUR 22 million falling due in June 2014. In addition to the credit facility, amortising loans amounting to a total of EUR 60 million were transferred to Caverion Corporation in the demerger.

The Group's net financing expenses in January–September amounted to EUR 4.3 million. Net financing expenses for the review period are burdened by one-off items relating to the partial demerger amounting to EUR 0.7 million. If the refinancing under the credit facility would have been drawn down at the beginning of the financial year, the net financing expenses in January–September would have amounted to approximately EUR 6.1 million.

Caverion's external loans are subject to a financial covenant based on the ratio of the Group's net debt to EBITDA. Net debt amounted to EUR 190.1 million at the end of September (6/2013: EUR 194.0 million).

MOST SIGNIFICANT SHORT-TERM BUSINESS RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Caverion Group classifies as risks those factors that might endanger the achievement of the Group's strategic and financial goals if they should materialise. Risks are divided into strategic, operational, financial and event risks. The identification and management of risk factors takes into account the special features of the business and operating environment. Risk management is an integral part of the Group's management, monitoring and reporting systems. The nature and probability of strategic risks is continuously monitored and reported on. A strategic risk assessment is carried out at Group level once a year in connection with the review of the strategy.

There are several risk factors relating to Caverion and its operating environment, business and the demerger. Caverion's typical operational risks include risks related to contract tenders, service agreements, project management and personnel. The share of steadily developing service and maintenance operations has been increased. Operations have been expanded geographically so that economic fluctuations impact operations at different times in different markets. Continuous monitoring and analysis make it possible to react quickly to changes in the operating environment and to utilise the new business opportunities provided by them.

Caverion's business is comprised of thousands of projects and service agreements, and therefore agreement management and project management are an important part of efficient business. Management of costs and implementation is particularly important for major individual projects, such as property development projects. In long-term service agreements, Caverion commits to a certain service level and pricing principles, which may also have an unfavourable effect on Caverion's profitability. With regard to various tender-based projects, it is important to act selectively, taking into account the risks and profitability of the projects, and review the content, risks and terms and conditions of all contracts and agreements in accordance with specified processes. In particular, the management of tender-based projects requires comprehensive project management expertise in order to reach the desired profitability. Inefficient and unsuccessful project management may have a material effect on Caverion's ability to offer high-quality and profitable services, which may have an unfavourable effect on Caverion's business, result of operations and financial position.

The success of the company materially depends on the professional skills of the company's management and personnel, as well as on the ability of the company to retain its current management and personnel and, when necessary, recruit new and skilled personnel. Project management personnel in particular are required to hold specified competencies, and shared decision-making processes and quality systems must be followed in the management process. The majority of Caverion's business is labour-intensive, meaning that the availability and commitment of skilled employees is a prerequisite for organic growth. The loss of management members or employees or the inability to attract qualified new personnel may have a material unfavourable effect on the company's business, result of operations and financial position. Work stoppages, strikes or other labour disputes in industries associated with Caverion's business may also have negative effects on Caverion's business operations.

Caverion's business is exposed to economic cycles, and slow or negative economic growth may have an unfavourable effect on the demand for Caverion's services. The increased insecurity of the general macroeconomic development has an effect on Caverion's business and customers.

Should one or several customers face financial difficulties, this may have an unfavourable effect on the company's business, result of operations and financial position. The company has an extensive customer base, comprised of customers of various sizes from the public as well as private sector. The counterparty risks of Caverion's business operations are above all associated with fulfilling the obligations of agreements made with customers, customer receivables and long-term service agreements. In particular, strong fluctuations in the economy may lead to financial difficulties or insolvency of Caverion's customers. The revenue recognition of long-term agreements includes a risk of the revenue recognised on the basis of percentage of completion and result presented by financial period not corresponding with the even allocation of the final overall result over the agreement.

Companies in Caverion Group have business-related disputes and associated legal and arbitration proceedings, and predicting their outcomes involves uncertainties. The project practice in Germany in particular relatively often leads to having to settle the rights and responsibilities of the contracting parties in court. According to the company's experience, the outcome of the processes rarely differs significantly from the expectations of the company. Therefore, the outcome of dispute-related processes is not expected to have a significant effect on the Group's result or financial position. However, it is not completely ruled out that the company's estimate turns out to be materially wrong and the outcomes of the processes will have an unfavourable effect on the company's result of operations and financial position.

The Group books write-offs or provision on receivables when it is evident that no payment can be expected. Caverion Group adopts its policy of valuing trade receivables and the bookings include estimates and critical judgements. The estimates are based on experience of realised write-offs in previous years, empirical knowledge of debt collecting, collateral and analyses made by clients and general market economic situation at the time.

The Group's aim is to grow both organically and through acquisitions. Risks associated with acquisitions and outsourcing are managed by selecting projects according to strict criteria and effective integration processes that familiarise new employees with Caverion's values, operating methods and strategy. The Group has a uniform process and guidelines for the implementation of acquisitions.

Goodwill recognised on Caverion's balance sheet is not amortised, but it is tested annually for any impairment. The amount by which the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the recoverable amount is recognised as an impairment loss through profit and loss. If negative changes take place in Caverion's result and growth development, this may lead to an impairment of goodwill, which may have an unfavourable effect on Caverion's result of operations and shareholders' equity. Caverion Group's goodwill amounted to EUR 335.7 million on September 30, 2013.

Financial risks include risks related to the sufficiency of financing, currency and interest rates, credit and counterparty risks and risks related to the reporting process. Financial risks are managed through accounting and financing policies as well as internal and external auditing.

Possible event risks include accidents related to personal or information security as well as sudden and unforeseen material damage to premises, project sites and other property resulting, for example, from fire, collapse or theft. Caverion complies with a group-wide security policy covering the different areas of security. The demerger may have undesirable effects on the uninterrupted continuity of certain functions central to Caverion's operations, such as ICT systems.

A more detailed account of the risks relating to Caverion and its operating environment and business has been published in the Demerger Prospectus dated June 4, 2013. Financial risks are described in more detail in the notes to the Interim Report 1-9/2013.

OUTLOOK FOR THE SECOND HALF OF 2013

Caverion repeats the estimate announced on June 4, 2013, according to which Caverion estimates that the Group's revenue for the second half of 2013 is more than EUR 1.3 billion and EBITDA more than EUR 50 million. The guidance does not take into account the non-recurring expenses related to the demerger, or the expenses related to any potential mergers or acquisitions. The increased insecurity of the general macroeconomic development nonetheless has an effect on Caverion's business and customers.

The operations in Finland were stable and at a good level in July–September. The efficiency programme in Sweden is progressing well and the operations are now developing according to plan, which is expected to contribute favourably to the development of profitability during the fourth quarter. Norway is suffering from very low profitability. The low order intake in Germany in the first half of 2013 has been reflected as lower revenue in January–September compared to the previous year. The improved order backlog in the third quarter 2013 was a positive sign, but is not expected to contribute to revenue until the first half of next year.

Market outlook for Caverion's services

Caverion operates in Sweden, Finland, Norway, Germany, Austria, Denmark, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, the Czech Republic and Romania. The extensive geographical area of operations and comprehensive portfolio balance the effect of economic fluctuations.

The increased technology in buildings increases the need for new services, and the demand for energy efficiency services is expected to remain stable. The opportunities for growth in service and maintenance are still favourable in all of Caverion's operational areas.

Decision-making on new investments is still slow, but positive signs can be seen. New investments in building systems are expected to increase slightly. Increasing public investments and an increasing need for renovation and repair work are expected to be the key factors behind the growth.

There is potential for energy efficiency services over the next few years with the tightening of environmental legislation. Environmental certifications and energy efficiency will be increasingly significant factors in the future, allowing property owners to increase the value of their properties, which will continue to support growth opportunities. Also an increasing number of properties will be connected to control rooms through remote monitoring in command centres. Services and projects related to the maintenance of traffic infrastructure are also estimated to develop favourably.

Notes to the Interim Report

1 Accounting principles

General

On June 30, 2013 the partial demerger of Building Services business ("demerger") of YIT Corporation became effective. At this date, all of the assets and liabilities directly related to the Building Services business were transferred to Caverion Corporation.

For the purposes of this interim report "Caverion Group" refers to Caverion Corporation and its subsidiaries in relation to the period after the consummation of the demerger and to the Building Services business of YIT Corporation and its subsidiaries ("YIT Group") prior to the consummation of the demerger.

Accounting principles applied in the interim report

Caverion Group's interim report for January 1 - September 30, 2013 has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting and in conformity with IFRS as adopted by the European Union. The information presented in this interim report has not been audited.

The basis of preparation and the accounting policies used to prepare the unaudited consolidated interim financial information for the period after the consummation of the demerger are the same as those described in the carveout financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 and in the carve-out financial information as of and for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 with the exception of the allocations made to the carve-out information for the historical information prior to the demerger date.

Caverion has formed a separate legal group as of June 30, 2013. The financial information presented in this interim report is based on actual figures as an independent group after the consummation of the demerger and carve-out figures prior to the consummation of the demerger. The carve-out financial information presented in this interim report reflects the performance and financial position of the entities that have historically formed the Building Services business within YIT Group.

Accordingly, the consolidated statement of financial position as of September 30, 2013, consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income and consolidated statement of cash flows for the period July – September 2013 and the related key figures are based on actual figures as an independent group. The income statements, statements of cash flows, statements of financial position and comparative figures for the periods before June 30, 2013 are based on carve-out financial information of Building Services business of YIT Group.

The consolidated interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the carve-out financial statements of Caverion Group as of and for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 and carve-out financial information as of and for the three month period ended March 31, 2013 as released on June 4, 2013 and included in the demerger and listing prospectus dated June 4, 2013 as well as with the Q2 2013 interim report released on July 26, 2013.

The earnings per share for the periods prior to the demerger were computed as if the shares issued at the demerger were outstanding for all periods presented.

In the interim report the figures are presented in million euros subject to rounding, which may cause some rounding inaccuracies in column and total sums.

Accounting principles of carve-out financial information

The carve-out financial statements of Caverion Group have been prepared on a carve-out basis from YIT's consolidated financial statements using the historical income and expenses, assets and liabilities and cash flows attributable to Building Services business. The carve-out financial statements also include allocations of income, expenses, assets, liabilities and cash flows from the YIT parent company and Perusyhtymä Oy.

The carve-out financial statements of Caverion Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted and endorsed by the European Union under consideration of the principles for determining which assets and liabilities, income and expenses as well as cash flows are to be assigned to Caverion Group as described under "Basis of accounting" of the carve-out financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010.

The carve-out financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and under the historical cost convention, except for the available-for-sale -investments, financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit and loss and derivative instruments at fair value. Share-based payments are measured at fair value at the time of granting.

Refinancing relating to the partial demerger was arranged and finalized during June 2013. The carve-out financial statements for the periods prior to the consummation of the demerger have not been adjusted to reflect the effects of this reorganization of financing. Thus, the assets and liabilities presented in this interim report are not comparable with comparative periods.

Changes in International accounting standard IAS 19 Employee benefits and the restated comparative numbers

The Group adopted the revised IAS 19 Employee benefits standard on January 1, 2013. The standard includes changes to accounting principles of defined benefit plans. The amendment eliminates the possibility to use the corridor approach and all the actuarial gains and losses are recognised immediately in the statement of other comprehensive income. The full net liability or net asset is recorded in the statement of financial position. The expected interest income on assets is calculated using the same discount rate as calculating the present value of the pension obligation. The changes in fair value of pension obligation are recorded in the statement of other comprehensive income where previously those were included in the personnel expenses in the income statement.

The revised IAS 19 standard requires that the amendments are applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The impact of the revised standard on Caverion's figures for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2012 is presented in the tables below. The impact for the year ended December 31, 2012 and for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012 has been presented in the demerger and listing prospectus dated June 4, 2013 and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2012 in the Q2 2013 interim report released on July 26, 2013.

There have been no acquisitions or disposals in 2013.

8 Financial risk management

Caverion's main financial risks are liquidity risk, credit risk and market risks including foreign exchange and interest rate risk. The objectives and principles of financial risk management are defined in the Treasury Policy approved by the Board of Directors. Financial risk management is carried out by the Group Treasury in cooperation with the operating units and subsidiaries.

To manage the interest rate risk, the Board of Directors has defined an average interest rate fixing term target of 18 months for the Group's net debt (excluding cash). The Group Treasurer is authorised to deviate +/- 12 months from the target interest rate fixing period. At the balance sheet date the average interest rate fixing term of net debt (excluding cash) was 6.2 months.

The objective of capital management in Caverion Group is to maintain the optimal capital structure, maximise the return on the respective capital employed, and to minimise the cost of capital within the limits and principles stated in the Treasury Policy. The capital structure is modified primarily by directing investments and working capital employed.

9 Financial assets and liabilities

Those financial assets and liabilities for which their carrying amounts do not correspond to their fair values are presented in the table below.

30 September 30 September 31 December 31 December
2013 2013 2012 2012
Carrying Carrying
EUR million amount Fair value amount Fair value
Non-current liabilities
Loans from financial institutions 161.3 162.3 63.4 56.3
Pension loans 9.0 8.6 10.0 9.2
Other financial loans 1.2 1.2 1.2 1.2

Fair values for non-current loans are based on discounted cash flows. The discount rate used is the rate at which the Group could draw a similar external loan at the balance sheet date and it consists of risk-free market rate and a company-specific risk premium in accordance with the maturity of the loan.

The carrying amounts of all other financial assets and liabilities are reasonably close to their fair values.

Fair value hierarchy

The Group categorises the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value into different levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

Level 1: The fair values are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: The fair values are based on inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices). Level 3: The fair values are based on inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The table below presents the financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value categorised into different levels of the fair value hierarchy.

There were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the period ended 30 September 2013.

The fair values for the derivative instruments categorised in Level 2 have been defined as follows: The fair values of foreign exchange forward agreements have been defined by using the market prices on the closing day. The fair values of interest rate swaps are based on discounted cash flows.

The available-for-sale investments categorised in Level 3 are non-listed equity instruments and they are measured at acquisition cost less any impairment as their fair value cannot be measured reliably.

Changes in the items categorised into Level 3 are presented below:

Entities participating in the demerger are jointly and severally responsible for the liabilities of the demerging entity which have been generated before the registration of the demerger. Hereby, a secondary liability up to the allocated net asset value has been generated to Caverion Corporation, incorporated due to the partial demerger of YIT Corporation, for those liabilities that have been generated before the registration of the demerger and remain with YIT Corporation after the demerger. Except for the bond holders of YIT Corporation's certain floating rate bonds, the creditors of YIT Corporation's major financial liabilities have waived their right to claim for a settlement from Caverion Corporation on the basis of the secondary liability. The nominal amount for these YIT Corporation's floating rate bonds was EUR 94.6 million on September 30, 2013, and they mature as follows: EUR 83.8 million in 2014, EUR 5.4 million in 2015 and EUR 5.4 million in 2016. In addition, Caverion Corporation has a secondary liability relating to the Group guarantees that remain with YIT Corporation after the demerger. These Group guarantees amounted to EUR 399 million at the end of September 2013.
