Financial Statements Bulletin January–December 2023

Operating cash flow after investments and financial position improved towards the end of the year 2023 in brief

  • Order book was EUR 3,157 million (30 Sep 2023: 3,391). Order book decreased in Housing and remained stable in Business Premises and Infrastructure. At the end of the quarter, 74% of the order book was sold (30 Sep 2023: 75%).
  • Revenue decreased to EUR 2,163 million (2,403), increasing in Business Premises and decreasing in Housing and Infrastructure.
  • Adjusted operating profit decreased to EUR 41 million (110), and the adjusted operating profit margin was 1.9% (4.6). The decrease was mainly related to low consumer apartment sales in Finland and fair value changes of equity investments and investment properties in the fourth quarter.
  • Operating cash flow after investments amounted to EUR -137 million (-285), mainly affected by the first quarter negative cash flow in the Housing segment. From the second quarter onwards, cash flow improved, supported by successful capital release actions of the transformation program and the sale of the Maistraatinportti office property.
  • Net interest-bearing debt amounted to EUR 795 million (615), and gearing was 94% (70). Compared to the previous quarter, both net interest-bearing debt and gearing decreased.
  • In Housing, adjusted operating profit decreased to EUR 32 million (98), impacted by low consumer sales in Finland. New consumer apartment start-ups decreased to 863 (2,400). The number of unsold completed apartments increased to 1,267 (30 Sep 2023: 948).
  • In Business Premises, adjusted operating profit decreased to EUR 0 million (16), affected by the decline in fair value of investments in the fourth quarter and construction material prices, which weighed on margins in fixed price projects started before the surge in price inflation.
  • In Infrastructure, adjusted operating profit increased to EUR 14 million (4). YIT announced on 5 December 2023 that it had agreed on the sale of YIT Energy Oy, the renewable energy business. An estimated total purchase price of EUR 48 million and an estimated gain on sale of EUR 47 million was recorded for Q4/2023. The gain on sale is reported in operating profit adjusting items. On 8 January 2024, YIT announced that it had decided to close down its infrastructure business in Sweden. The business to be closed down is recorded in operating profit adjusting items from the beginning of Q4/23.
  • Result for the period was EUR 3 million (63, continuing operations).
  • YIT's Board of Directors proposes that no dividend be distributed.
  • During the fourth quarter, YIT signed a EUR 140 million term loan, which is secured. The loan replaced previous term loans totalling EUR 150 million which were to mature in late 2023 and the spring of 2024.
  • YIT's transformation program has progressed faster than originally expected. With the actions taken by the end of 2023, YIT will gain annualised run-rate cost savings of EUR 25 million, which will be fully realised by the end of 2024. In addition to the cost savings, YIT is expecting to achieve a significant amount of project-related and capital efficiency gains.

Comments from the President and CEO, Heikki Vuorenmaa

Year 2023 was characterized by difficult market conditions. The euro area experienced a steep increase in interest rates, which impacted the housing market in most of our operating countries, especially in Finland. Additionally, increased inflation on materials and labor costs continued to impact our fixed price agreements in contracting segments. On the positive side, demand in Central Eastern European countries, especially in Poland, continued to improve throughout the year.

We responded to the challenging operating environment with firm actions. We simplified our organisation and business model, streamlined our internal operating models and improved productivity, as well as renewed our procurement model. As a result, we reduced approximately 20% of our comparable fixed costs on a year-on-year basis, while comparable revenue declined by 10% during the same period. Additionally, we continued to improve the underlying profitability of both of our contracting segments, Business Premises and Infrastructure, and released capital from our investment portfolio and other non-core businesses. As we move forward, a key focus area is capital allocation; ensuring we optimise the use of capital and smartly allocate it to get the best return on it.

Our transformation program, launched in February 2023, is delivering on the targets set and progressing faster than initially anticipated. With the actions taken by the end of 2023, YIT will gain annualised inflation-adjusted run-rate cost savings of EUR 25 million by the end of 2024. While there is still work to do, I want to express my sincere gratitude to our entire organisation for their hard work and commitment during the challenging year.

In Housing, our business portfolio with operations in different geographical regions has shown its strength, with our operations in Central Eastern Europe achieving a record-high operating profit in 2023. In Finland, the market conditions were unprecedentedly challenging in the beginning of the year, followed by a slow market recovery and overall weak market. Towards the end of the year, we saw a clear activation in the secondary housing market, and we believe this will eventually lead to an activation of demand in the primary market. An imbalance of demand and supply has led to a larger number of unsold apartments than typically in recent years. Our portfolio of unsold completed apartments consists of high-quality apartments, which are located in attractive housing markets, with more than 90% of the units in capital regions or university towns in Finland and Central Eastern Europe.

In Business Premises, the year was marked by challenges brought on by increased inflation impacting our contracting business and rising yields that led to a decrease in real estate values. I am happy that we succeeded in completing the sale of the Maistraatinportti office property in these difficult market conditions. Maistraatinportti is a great example of YIT's strong project development and renovation projects expertise. During the fourth quarter, we made a significant change in the segment's operating model, which enables us to conduct business in a more customer- and market-oriented way.

In Infrastructure, we improved our way of operating towards the end of the year, which enabled us to start the new year well positioned. In the Finnish infrastructure business, we have the necessary expertise and the ability to win demanding projects. On the other hand, even though the Swedish infrastructure market is active, our positioning did not allow us to successfully compete for projects there. As a result of our strategic review, we made the decision to start closing down the operations in Sweden.

During 2023, we strengthened our strategic focus on the customer and continued our determined work to improve productivity and sustainability. We became the first Finnish construction company to have our emissions reduction targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative. Sustainability is an integral enabler of our long-term competitiveness. Our customers expect sustainable solutions, and we want to be in the frontline in providing them. With the science-based targets, we are taking the lead in the industry and are also encouraging our partners to invest in sustainable solutions. We have also continued the systematic work to optimise work safety, increase transparency and openness in safety communication, and strengthen day-today safety management within the company and with our partners.

YIT is executing a significant capital reallocation and a capital release program. While capital has been increasingly tied to the Finnish housing stock, we succeeded in releasing capital and reducing our indebtedness in the last quarter of the year. We have built resilience to face the cyclical nature of our operating environment. The work is not yet finished, and we are determined to continue with the required measures.

For more than 100 years, we have been a significant player in developing societies in the countries where we operate. Despite the turbulent environment around us, the fundamentals of our actions and business remain unchanged; our focus is – and always will be – to serve our customers to the best of our ability.

YIT Corporation

Guidance and outlook for 2024

YIT expects its Group adjusted operating profit for continuing operations to be EUR 20–60 million in 2024. The operating cash flow after investments is expected to be positive.

The housing market recovery in Central Eastern Europe is expected to continue. In Finland, the housing market is expected to continue to be weak in the first half of the year. In Business Premises and Infrastructure, the underlying operational performance is expected to improve.

YIT's performance will be supported by the increased efficiencies from the transformation program launched on 10 February 2023.

Changes in the macroeconomic environment, especially in interest rates, may impact the housing market demand and the fair value of investments. Delayed apartment completions could lead to the postponement of revenue and profit from quarter or year to another. Actions to release capital may have an impact on the company's profit.

Market environment

Housing market

In Finland,consumer demand continued at a low level as a result of the generally weak consumer confidence. Market interest rates started to decline during the fourth quarter of 2023, which could improve the demand if the decline continues. In the investor market, the higher interest rates have had a significant negative impact on activity levels. Although interest rates have shown signs of levelling off, uncertainty in the market remains high. The housing market is expected to continue to be weak in the first half of the year. Housing company loan financing has been challenging due to the banks' increased caution.

In the Baltic and Central Eastern European countries,

inflation has slowed down, and increase in interest rates have peaked in all operating countries. Demand in Poland, the Czech Republic and Latvia continued to improve during the quarter. The gradual market recovery is expected to continue, and the overall market outlook remains stable.

Real estate market

In Finland, demand remained moderate, but general low market confidence slows down customers' decision making, especially in the private sector. Activity in industrial projects is expected to increase in the coming years, driven by the green transition. Inflation in construction material prices has stabilised. The competition for new projects has intensified as a result of the overall decline in construction volumes. In the investor market, the low availability of financing, higher financing costs and higher yields have decreased activity levels in transactions and new developments.

In the Baltic and Central Eastern European countries,

overall demand and market activity remained stable, supported especially by private-sector demand for new industrial premises in certain countries. Price inflation in construction materials has stabilised, but new project start-ups are facing challenges due to low availability of financing, higher financing costs and higher yield requirements.

Infrastructure market

Public-sector demand in Finland is expected to remain stable, with several projects in the planning and bidding phase. Privatesector demand is driven by industrial construction and the transition to renewable energy. The decline in construction volumes is reflected in the demand for earthworks and foundation construction, but the long-term outlook for the overall market remains stable. The development span of infrastructure projects is relatively long, and increased caution could lead to postponements of upcoming projects.

Strategy

YIT launched its 2022–2025 strategy in November 2021. The objective of YIT's strategy is to be the most reliable partner for all its stakeholders, delivering predictable market-leading results. During 2023, YIT continued the implementation of its strategy and specified the action plans for the Housing, Business Premises and Infrastructure segments on how the business segments contribute to YIT's common goals. The company strengthened its focus on the customer and continued the determined work to improve productivity and sustainability. In February 2023, YIT launched a transformation program to accelerate the implementation of the strategy.

Transformation program

The purpose of YIT's transformation program is to improve competitiveness, generate efficiency gains, achieve cost savings and release capital, and to increase agility and strengthen customer focus.

The transformation program has progressed faster than originally expected, and YIT has launched all the planned measures to achieve the targeted annual inflation-adjusted run-rate cost savings of EUR 40 million by the end of 2024. With the actions taken by the end of 2023, YIT will gain annualised run-rate cost savings of EUR 25 million, which will be fully realised by the end of 2024. Savings have been achieved by streamlining the organisation and reducing IT and premises costs, for example.

In addition to the cost savings, YIT is expecting to achieve a significant amount of project-related and capital efficiency gains. Competitiveness is improved by increasing efficiency in procurement, project management and productivity. YIT has changed the procurement model from projectlevel procurement to selective and partner-based cooperation, gaining savings by utilising YIT's and partners' combined knowledge. To reduce project management risks, an emphasis has been placed on project management training and supporting the starting projects in the early phases. Productivity development measures have focused on shortening the construction time and improving site coordination.

The program costs are estimated to be EUR 50–70 million, of which EUR 19 million was realised by the end of 2023. Program costs are recorded in operating profit adjusting items.

In June 2023, YIT estimated that as part of the transformation program, the company had the potential to release approximately EUR 400 million in capital, excluding current assets such as self-developed projects, unsold apartments and land plots. Measures aiming to achieve the potential are ongoing. With the actions taken by the end of 2023, YIT has released approximately EUR 100 million of the stated potential, including the sales of the renewable energy development portfolio and SIA LiveOn co-investment vehicle and other capital efficiency measures related to the program. YIT will continue to evaluate alternatives for other assets, including YIT's share of the Mall of Tripla Ky, considering the market situation. The actions to improve net working capital are proceeding according to plan.

Safety development

YIT's combined lost time injury frequency improved to 12.1 (13.3) compared to the comparison period. Lost time injury frequency also improved compared to the previous quarter. YIT continued its systematic work to increase transparency and openness in safety communication and to strengthen day-to-day safety management within the company and with its partners. Special emphasis has been placed on preparing the sites for winter conditions.

YIT's order book decreased to EUR 3,157 million (30 Sep 2023: 3,391). The order book decreased slightly in Housing and Business Premises and remained stable in Infrastructure. At the end of the quarter, 74% of the order book was sold (30 Sep 2023: 75%).

YIT's revenue decreased from the comparison period to EUR 597 million (779). In Housing, revenue decreased due to lower sales in Finland. Revenue increased in Business Premises and decreased in Infrastructure. The comparison period was supported by certain large projects that have since been completed.

YIT's adjusted operating profit decreased to EUR 13 million (42), and the adjusted operating profit margin was 2.2% (5.4). In Housing, profitability was negatively affected by low consumer sales in Finland and a weaker sales mix. In Business Premises, adjusted operating profit was affected by the decline in fair value of investments, while underlying operative performance improved for the quarter. In Infrastructure, profitability increased. On 8 January 2024, YIT announced that it had decided to close down its infrastructure business in Sweden. The businesses to be closed down are recorded in operating profit adjusting items from the beginning of Q4/23.

YIT's operating profit was EUR 33 million (42). Adjusting items were EUR -20 million in the fourth quarter (1), mainly related to the gain on sale of the renewable energy development portfolio, the negative booking related to the closing down of the infrastructure business in Sweden, and the costs of the transformation program. Net finance costs amounted to EUR 20 million (6) due to increased market interest rates, interest rate margins and the higher amount of net interest-bearing debt. The result for the period was EUR 17 million (28).

January–December

YIT's revenue decreased by 10% to EUR 2,163 million (2,403). In Housing, revenue decreased due to low consumer apartment sales, especially in Finland. Revenue was supported by the sales of apartments in Finland to YIT's joint venture's rental housing portfolio during the first half of the year. In Business Premises, revenue was at the previous year's level, supported by the sale of the Maistraatinportti office property during the third quarter. The comparison period in Business Premises included a sale of two self-developed projects. In Infrastructure, revenue decreased. The comparison period in Infrastructure was supported by certain large projects that have since been completed.

YIT's adjusted operating profit decreased to EUR 41 million (110), and the adjusted operating profit margin was 1.9% (4.6). In Housing, profitability was negatively impacted by low consumer sales in Finland and a weaker sales mix. In Business Premises, higher construction material prices weighed on margins in projects started before the surge in price inflation. Fair value changes also impacted the result in the fourth quarter. The comparison period in Business Premises was supported by the sale of two self-developed projects. In Infrastructure, profitability increased.

YIT's operating profit was EUR 51 million (102). Adjusting items amounted to EUR -10 million (8). Adjusting items were mainly related to the gain on sale of the renewable energy development portfolio, the negative booking related to the closing down of the infrastructure business in Sweden and the costs of the transformation program. Net finance costs amounted to EUR 56 million (28). The result for the period amounted to EUR 3 million (-375, including discontinued operations), and earnings per share amounted to EUR -0.01 (0.28, continuing operations). The comparison period was burdened by the sale of the Russian businesses.

Cash flow

October–December

YIT's operating cash flow after investments increased to EUR 67 million (40). Cash flow was supported by YIT's improved net working capital efficiency, the successful divestments of the SIA LiveOn co-investment vehicle and the renewable energy development portfolio, and plot sales to YIT's new project development co-investment vehicle in Slovakia. Cash flow was burdened by low consumer apartment sales in Finland and capital tied to consumer apartments. Cash flow from plot investments amounted to EUR 2 million (-27).

January–December

YIT's operating cash flow after investments amounted to EUR -137 million (-285), mainly affected by the first quarter negative cash flow in the Housing segment. The full year cash flow was burdened by the low consumer apartment sales in Finland, payments for plot investments committed before 2023, and the apartments under construction. From the second quarter onwards, cash flow improved, supported by successful capital release actions of the transformation program, the sale of the Maistraatinportti office property and plot sales. Cash flow from plot investments was EUR -65 million (-138), impacted by payments for plot investments committed before 2023.

Financial position

At the end of the period, interest-bearing debt amounted to EUR 998 million (878), and net interest-bearing debt to EUR 795 million (615). The increase in net interest-bearing debt was mainly driven by the increased capital employed in Housing during the first quarter. Compared to the previous quarter, net interest-bearing debt decreased. Net interestbearing debt included IFRS 16 lease liabilities of EUR 256 million (254), as well as housing company loans of EUR 260 million (230) related to unsold apartments. The gearing ratio was 94% (70), and the equity ratio 33% (35). Equity decreased to EUR 845 million (883). The net debt/ adjusted EBITDA ratio was 11.7 (30 Sep 2023: 9.0), and the interest cover ratio 1.3 (30 Sep 2023: 2.6).

Cash and cash equivalents decreased to EUR 128 million (206), and YIT had undrawn overdraft facilities amounting to EUR 20 million (32). YIT also had a EUR 300 million committed revolving credit facility, of which EUR 220 million (300) was unused and available at the end of the fourth quarter. Unutilised and committed housing company loan limits associated with apartment projects decreased to EUR 49 million (222), as a result of lower number of consumer apartment start-ups.

YIT announced on 21 November 2023, that it had signed a EUR 140 million term loan, which is secured. The loan replaced previous term loans totalling EUR 150 million which were to mature in late 2023 and the spring of 2024. The new loan agreement includes repayments of EUR 30 million during 2024, and the rest of the loan matures during the spring of 2025.

Capital employed increased to EUR 1,618 million (1,489) at the end of the fourth quarter, decreasing from the previous quarter (30 Sep 2023: 1,681). The increase was driven mainly by the increased capital employed in Housing in Finland, attributable to low consumer apartment sales and the increase in the number of unsold completed apartments to 1,267 (794).

Gross capital expenditure and plot investments

October–December

Gross capital expenditure amounted to EUR 6 million (6), of which EUR 5 million (4) was related to leased assets. Investments in plots were EUR 2 million (36). Investments in leased plots were EUR 3 million (0). The total plot reserve at the end of the quarter amounted to EUR 813 million (762).

Significant risks and uncertainties

The purpose of YIT's risk management is to promote the achievement of the objectives set for YIT's operations and ensure the continuity of operations. Risk management is incorporated into all the Group's significant operating, reporting and management processes. Risk management planning, risk exposure assessment and risk analyses of the operating environment are part of the annual strategy and planning process. In addition, material changes in risks and risk exposure are reported and monitored on a monthly and quarterly basis in accordance with the Group's governance and reporting practices.

YIT has categorised the risks that are significant to its operations as strategic, operational, project-related, financial and event risks. Detailed descriptions of risks, their impacts and risk management practices are available in Appendix 1.

Low residential demand, especially in Finland, continues due to the uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment. At YIT, the implications of market uncertainty could lead to weakening business performance and profitability or the postponement of revenue and profit from one quarter or year to another. Delayed apartment completions could also lead to the postponement of revenue and profit from one quarter or year to another.

The escalation of geopolitical risks reflected in general uncertainty and demand could have a negative impact on the company's financial position.

The company is executing capital release measures that may have an impact on its financial position.

The assessment also considers the terms of financing agreements.

Basis of preparation and accounting policies of the financial statements bulletin

Basis of preparation

This financial statements bulletin has been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards recognition and measurement principles and all the requirements of IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting standard have been applied. This financial statements bulletin should be read together with YIT's consolidated Financial Statements 2022. The figures presented in the financial statements bulletin are unaudited. In the financial statements bulletin, the figures are presented in million euros doing the rounding on each line, which may cause some rounding inaccuracies in columns and total sums.

Accounting policies

The same IFRS Accounting Standards recognition and measurement principles have been applied in the preparation of this financial statements bulletin as in YIT's consolidated Financial Statements 2022, except for the amendments to the IFRS Accounting Standards effective as of January 1, 2023. The amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Significant management judgements

In preparing this financial statements bulletin, significant judgements made by management in applying the accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2022 except for the management judgement applied in estimating the amount of variable consideration related to the sold renewable energy business, YIT Energy Oy, which is described more in the note Disposals of business. When selling a business, the transaction price may include both fixed and variable elements. The variable consideration may, for example, be linked to the profit of the business sold after the termination of YIT's control. Therefore, due to the nature of the variable consideration, it is possible that the estimated variable consideration recognised at the date when control ceases may change in subsequent periods. The estimate of the variable consideration is based primarily on information available from the market and from the buyer in relation to the business sold.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine

The sections of the financial statements that involve an unusual amount of judgement or that include significant assumptions and estimates have been described in YIT's Financial Statements 2022. When making these judgements, the management constantly estimates the impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine on the estimates and judgements. The Russian invasion of Ukraine is not expected to have direct impacts on YIT's financial performance that would require material adjustments to carrying amounts in the statement of financial position. However, YIT's management continuously monitors the market indicators and estimated future cash flows related to fair values of investments and carrying amounts of other assets.

Disposals of business

YIT sold its renewable energy business, YIT Energy Oy, to Eolus Vind AB in December 2023. The transaction price consists of a fixed and a variable consideration. The fixed consideration, EUR 25 million, will be paid in three instalments. The first instalment of EUR 10 million was paid in December 2023 and EUR 15 million will be paid in two instalments during 2024 and 2025. The variable consideration is defined based on project sales and completed projects and it amounts to EUR 0–75 million. The variable consideration will be determined by the end of 2032. YIT estimates that the variable consideration weighted with probabilities of the project development portfolio is EUR 23 million. Main estimates related to the variable consideration are project size, probability and net margin estimate per MW. The variable consideration is assessed quarterly. YIT recorded a discounted total consideration of EUR 48 million and a gain on sale of EUR 47 million in 2023. The effect of discounting in the total consideration recorded amounts to EUR 4 million. Gain on sale is presented as part of the other operating income in the consolidated income statement. YIT Energy Oy was part of the Infrastructure segment.

Assets held for sale

In January 2024 YIT announced that it has agreed on the sale of the entire share capital of YIT Kalusto Oy, YIT's subsidiary providing in-house equipment services, to Renta Oy, a company operating in the equipment rental business. As part of the arrangement, YIT and Renta will sign a long-term cooperation agreement on the delivery of equipment services to YIT in Finland. YIT Kalusto Oy was classified as an asset held-for-sale at year-end 2023 because the sale was highly probable at year-end. YIT Kalusto Oy is part of the Infrastructure segment.

In addition to the share transaction, YIT sells to Renta the property used by YIT Kalusto Oy, located in Urjala, Finland. Prior to the share transaction, the specialised equipment related to YIT's Infrastructure business and the personnel working with the business, will be transferred to YIT Infra Oy in an intra-group business transaction. The share transaction between YIT and Renta is conditional to the approval by the Finnish Competition and Consumer Authority, and it is estimated to be completed by 30 June 2024.

The fair values of bonds issued are based on the market price at the reporting date. The fair values of other non-current financial assets and liabilities are based on discounted cash flows. The discount rate is defined to be the rate YIT was to pay for equivalent external loans at the end of the reporting period. It consists of risk-free market rate and company related risk premium of 4.94–8.01 % (2.00–5.02 %). The fair values of other current financial assets and liabilities are equal to their carrying amounts.

Fair value measurement

The Group categorises financial instruments recognised at fair value by using a three-level fair value hierarchy. Financial instruments recognised at fair value in the balance sheet are classified by fair value measurement hierarchy as follows:

Level 1

Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy is defined as all financial instruments for which there are quotes available in an active market. These quoted market prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, broker, pricing service or regulatory agency. These prices are used without adjustment to measure fair value. YIT has no financial instruments classified in Level 1.

Level 2

The fair value of financial instruments in Level 2 is determined using valuation techniques. These techniques utilize other than Level 1 quoted market prices readily and regularly available from an exchange, broker, pricing service or regulatory agency. YIT values OTC derivatives from a Level 2 Intermediary, pricing service or regulatory agency at fair value based on observable market inputs and generally accepted valuation methods.

Level 3

Fair values of financial instruments within Level 3 are not based on observable market data. The fair value levels are presented in previous tables. YIT has classified investments at fair value on Level 3.

Description of valuation techniques

Equity investments recognised at fair value through profit and loss

Tripla Mall Ky

The fair value of YIT's equity investment in Tripla Mall Ky is calculated as the fair value of the property, subtracting the net debt and the sum is multiplied with YIT's share of ownership. The value of the property is determined by using the income approach, taking 10-year discounted cash flows and the present value of the terminal value. An independent external appraiser (CBRE) has audited the valuation model used by YIT and assessed the relevant valuation assumptions and stated that it fulfils the requirements of IFRS and IVSC (International Valuation Standards Council). Separate calculations have been used for the shopping mall and the parking facility. In general, the discounted cash flow model uses contract rents until the lease expiry, after which the expected market rent rates are used. The valuation is made on a net rental basis and utilises a long-term vacancy rate for the net rental income. For both shopping mall and the parking facility, other operating income such as advertising have been added to the net rental income. Similarly, expenses such as maintenance expenses for vacant premises and administration expenses have been deducted from the net rental income. The discount rates used are based on reasonable market yields and projected average inflation for the 10-year cash flow valuation period. The market yields are derived from market data and the market knowledge of the independent external appraiser (CBRE).

The value of the investment of YIT to Tripla Mall Ky is also affected by a separate profit-sharing agreement between the shareholders of Tripla Mall Ky. When an equity multiple that is calculated with fixed market parameters (inflation and exit yield) exceeds (or is below) an agreed target range, YIT is entitled to a larger (or smaller) share of the fair value of the investment, in 2024 when the investment is sold or when the profit-sharing agreement has expired. If the equity multiple is in the agreed target range, YIT is entitled to its original share of the fair value of the investment. The equity multiple is defined as the ratio between the equity value, which is projected in the fair value model, and realised equity investments in Tripla Mall Ky. At the reporting

date, the outcome of the modelling of the profit-sharing agreement does not have an impact on the value of the investment when compared to the carrying amount. If the equity multiple increased by 5 percent, it would still remain in the target range. If the equity multiple decreased by 5 percent, it would lead to a EUR 12 million decrease in the fair value of the asset compared to the carrying amount. Fair value changes resulting from the profit-sharing agreement are reported in consolidated income statement in the row "Changes in fair value of financial assets".

OP Vuokrakoti Ky

The fair value of YIT's equity investment in OP Vuokrakoti Ky is calculated as the fair value of the owned properties, subtracting the net debt and the sum is multiplied with YIT's share ownership. The fair values of the properties are based on valuation reports from an independent external appraiser (Finnish AKA report, following IVS). Valuation is made separately for each property. Both comparable transactions method and discounted cash flow method have been used in the valuation. Based on the judgement of the appraiser, the two valuation methods have been weighted in the final valuation.

Loan receivables recognised at fair value through profit and loss

The fair value of loan receivables for YIT has been calculated by discounting the expected cash flows with a specific discount rate. The discount rate is based on the average maturity, market interest rate for the maturity concerned and the risk premium for the loan.

RISK RISK DESCRIPTION RISK MANAGEMENT
Country risks Finland
• Finland accounts for a significant share of YIT's
business, which underscores the significance of
Finland's economic development for the company's
business.
• Slower growth of the Finnish economy, the inflation
rate, rising interest rates, migration and public sector
debt may weaken consumers' purchasing power
and general trust, which would have a negative
impact on the demand for homes and business
premises. An increase in public sector debt may
make it more difficult to finance infrastructure
investments, especially in the municipal sector.
• In Finland, disruptions or significant changes in
project financing and housing company loans may
affect YIT's ability to finance its construction phase
costs, which may have an indirect impact on
customer demand.
Central Eastern Europe
• Slower economic growth, the inflation rate and rising
interest rates may weaken consumers' purchasing
power and general trust, which would have a
negative impact on the demand for homes and
business premises.
• There are uncertainties related to the operations of
the authorities, permit processes and their efficiency,
which may result in significant delays to project
development.
• Increased political risks may influence demand or
otherwise complicate business operations.
• There is an increased risk related to labour and
migration from outside the EU, for example.
Finland
• Continuously monitoring the economic
development and public sector investments in
Finland.
• Engaging in risk management related to project
financing and the availability of housing company
loans by managing working capital and financial
reserves through efficient allocation and use of
capital, by reducing lead times and by ensuring
sufficient financing capacity.
• Developing project funding models and
cooperation with partners.
Central Eastern Europe
• Continuously monitoring the economic
development and public sector investments.
• Working in close cooperation with the authorities
to ensure handovers and the processing of
permits.
• Housing production is a relatively low-risk business
in terms of political risks. Changes in selling prices
and continuous monitoring of sales allow YIT to
manage price risks better than in contracting
based production.
• Monitoring has been increased in YIT's production
and procurement activities with respect to terms of
employment and human rights issues.
Corporate
governance
• The industry's special characteristics, the
geographical dispersion of the Group's operations,
the large number of contracts and the temporary
nature of projects may lead to risks related to
matters such as corruption, bribery, the grey
economy and labour exploitation.
• Lack of commitment among suppliers to the YIT
Code of Conduct can pose risks to human rights or
reputational risks to the company.
• YIT is committed to good corporate governance
through compliance with laws and regulations.
• YIT trains its personnel to act responsibly.
• YIT has updated its sustainability strategy. YIT
continues with its zero-tolerance policy towards the
grey economy, corruption, labour exploitation and
discrimination. YIT is also undertaking purposeful
action to promote sustainability throughout its supply
chain. Going forward, YIT will require its suppliers to
make the same commitments to environmental,
social and governance criteria as YIT has set for
itself.
Reputation risks • Topics discussed in public concerning either the
construction industry or YIT's operations may either
justifiably or unjustifiably reduce trust in the company
and have a negative impact on YIT's reputation.
Such topics include the grey economy, unethical
activities and quality problems in construction.
• Continuously developing the company's governance
model, proactive risk management and monitoring
practices in terms of issues such as sustainability.
• Communicating with stakeholders quickly, reliably
and openly.
• Providing training and guidelines for the personnel
and partners; using a monitoring system.
• Developing crisis communication practices and
ensuring the communication capabilities of key
personnel.

acquisitions may prove to be contrary to the strategy
or fall short of the set objectives.
• Applying the gate model and the gate-specific
approval practices and criteria stipulated by the
model to the preparation of investments and
divestments and related decision-making. Ensuring
that individual investments and divestments are in
line with the investment policy and satisfy the criteria
of the gate model, including a risk assessment prior
to approval.
• Ensuring that the start of an acquisition or divestment
process for a business of material significance and
decision-making on the final transaction are always
subject to approval by the Group's President and
CEO, the Group Investment Board, the Investment
and Project Committee of the Board of Directors and
YIT Corporation's Board of Directors.
• Conducting the processing and decision-making
related to acquisitions and divestments, i.e. the
acquisition or sale of a legal entity (share transaction)
or business where the purpose of the transaction is
to acquire or divest a business, in accordance with
YIT's gate model for acquisitions and divestments
and the relevant gate-specific approval practices and
criteria.
• In processing and decision-making concerning
associated companies and joint ventures, applying
the gate model of the company in question and the
relevant gate-specific approval practices and criteria.
• Ensuring that an investment in a joint venture or
associated company, or the establishment of such a
company or divesting YIT's holding in such a
company and exiting a joint venture structure is
always subject to approval by the Group's President
and CEO and the Group Investment Board. The
aforementioned decision-making and control
measures aim to ensure the meeting of objectives in
line with YIT's strategy and investment policy criteria.
Strategic
development projects
and strategy
implementation
• The Group may be unable to implement or adjust its
strategy in its operating environment, or the chosen
strategy may prove to be incorrect, which may have
an adverse impact on YIT's financial performance.
• Due to changes in the business environment, YIT has
reassessed its three strategic focus areas (focus,
productivity and ESG), and found them to be valid.
YIT has also updated its financial targets.
• Responsibilities have been assigned for the regular
monitoring of the implementation of the strategy, and
a dedicated regular operating model has been
prepared to facilitate the monitoring of the progress
and the implementation of corrective measures as
necessary. Ensuring flexibility of the strategy and
continuously assessing alternative paths.

Operational risks

RISK RISK DESCRIPTION RISK MANAGEMENT
Resources and
personnel
• Failure to engage the commitment of skilled staff in a
challenging market situation.
• YIT has three HR focus areas to support the strategy
and ensure the availability and retention of a skilled
workforce:
1.YIT is an attractive employer, we engage the
commitment of our employees and develop their
professional competencies.
2.Empowered and efficient teams
3.YIT's way of working – efficient and safe
Risks related to
occupational safety
and human rights
• Occupational health and safety risks are typically
various types of accidents and hazardous situations
that primarily lead to injuries or material damage.
Most accidents at work involve movement, e.g.
tripping, falling or slipping on a construction site.
Hazardous situations also arise in relation to falling
materials during lifting, or when employees work
above or below others.
• There are risks related to human rights throughout the
supply chain, including labour exploitation, working
conditions, harassment, racism, discrimination and
other unethical conduct. The chaining of contracts
typically makes it more difficult to retain transparency
in the construction industry. If these risks materialise,
it will affect the company's reputation as a
responsible operator.
• Engaging in preventive occupational safety measures
such as safety planning, management walks, safety
observations, weekly onsite meetings and safety
briefings, orientation and training. Investigating
accidents and hazardous situations, internal
communications.
• Using supplier requirements and audits related to
labour and human rights. Conducting a separate
assessment pertaining to the chaining of contracts.
Regularly evaluating the human rights impact.
Providing multiple channels for reporting suspected
violations of labour and human rights, and
investigating all reports.
Procurement risks • The high level of subcontracting in the construction
industry and the specialisation of areas of expertise
may involve risks related to the management of
contracting chains. The fact that light
entrepreneurship has become more common has
increased the risk of the grey economy on
construction sites.
• Foreign workforce can involve risks pertaining to
labour and human rights, for example. Mobility of
labour within the EU has increased, and the number
of workers from third countries is significant.
• Disruptions in availability and deliveries may delay the
implementation of projects and incur additional costs.
• Procurement-related sustainability issues and
internationalisation issues such as the realisation of
labour and human rights, as well as challenges
associated with the management of contracting
chains, may pose risks and have a significant negative
impact on reputation.
• Lead times, availability and prices of construction
materials may vary due to global supply chain
challenges.
• Managing the efficiency risk in procurement as part
of project management, and using more
standardised solutions. Reducing supply chain risks
through effectively managed lean construction.
• Using proactive risk management at the planning
phase of projects and when selecting partners. Using
annual contracts and anticipating purchases. YIT has
started to prevent subcontractors who do not meet
the set supplier criteria from entering construction
sites.
• YIT aims to develop mutually beneficial long-term
relationships with its partners. Continuously
developing sustainability-related matters in
procurement; for example, ensuring compliance with
obligations throughout the supply chain. Engaging
suppliers' commitment to the Supplier Code of
Conduct. Continuously monitoring projects, supply
chains and the partners involved in them by means of
information systems and audits.
• Enabling the detection of human rights violations
through YIT's Code of Conduct and the YIT
Whistleblower channel.
• Developing monitoring for the working conditions of
foreign workers. Using supplier requirements related
to labour and human rights. Requiring a residence
permit issued by the Finnish authorities and the
related right to work for posted workers from outside
the EU, EEA or Switzerland. Using site access
control systems to identify workers from third
countries. Regularly conducting anonymous surveys
of foreign workers with a focus on working
conditions, housing conditions and labour
exploitation.

RISK RISK DESCRIPTION RISK MANAGEMENT
Acquisition risks
related to plots of
land and properties
• Zoning and the general market development may be
reflected in the availability, risks and economic
feasibility associated with plots of land and building
rights.
• External uncertainties such as changes in legislation
and regulations, construction-related requirements
and interpretations by the public authorities, and the
replacement of decision-makers may present risks
that have a financial impact. Complaints related to
land use planning and building permits may cause
delays and additional costs.
• The efficiency of YIT's own land acquisition and the
sufficiency of building rights may pose risks.
Deficiencies in initial data or incorrect project
calculations may lead to incorrect pricing of plots.
• Delays in starting projects may tie up more capital
than planned and lead to higher financing cost.
• Continuously monitoring the sufficiency of the plot
reserve to ensure continuity of the business and the
economy of operations. Continuously monitoring plot
acquisitions and commitments to ensure capital
efficiency and manage the financial risks.
• Applying the company-specific gate model and the
gate-specific approval practices and criteria
stipulated by the model to the preparation of plot
acquisitions and related decision-making. Identifying
and assessing uncertainties associated with plot
acquisitions as part of the gate review procedures.
• Subjecting the acquisition or sales of plots to the
approval of the Group's President and CEO and the
Group Investment Board, and depending on the size
of the transaction, also the approval of the Board of
Directors' Investment and Project Committee and the
Board of Directors.
• In the case of individual plot acquisitions, managing
uncertainties through participation in regional
development and land use planning, for example.
Using due diligence, risk transfer and plot acquisition
structuring practices to mitigate and manage risks.
Environmental risks • Operational risks related to the environment may be
locally significant in the event of a fuel leak or soil
contamination, for example.
• The most significant acute environmental risks are
related to the handling of hazardous materials.
• Due to their location or the construction methods
used, construction projects may give rise to risks
related to the loss of biodiversity.
• Risk of the loss of biodiversity. The lack of a raw
material or a sufficient quantity of a raw material.
• The use of water and the risk of wastewater
discharges affect freshwater and marine ecosystems.
• Construction sites' operating instructions for risk
identification, prevention and management.
• An environmental risk assessment conducted in the
planning phase for the largest projects.
• Measures to protect biodiversity are planned on a
project-specific basis in the planning stage.
• Reducing or avoiding the use of chemicals, and
cleaning or neutralising wastewater.

Project risks

RISK RISK DESCRIPTION RISK MANAGEMENT
Changes in the
operating
environment
• Political, macroeconomic and social changes, as well
as changes related to technological development and
the regulatory operating environment.
• The escalation of geopolitical risks that are reflected in
general uncertainty and demand. Risks related to the
availability and price of energy have a direct and
indirect negative impact on the company's business
operations through construction materials.
Geopolitical risks may influence the actions of central
banks and the market rates of interest, which will in
turn affect the valuation of assets on the balance
sheet.
• Hybrid operations may affect the availability of
information systems or data connections used by the
Group.
• Influencing or reconnaissance of critical infrastructure
projects.
• Continuously monitoring the market and the price
development in the area, the area's image and the
land use planning status.
• Identifying and assessing all risks and planning
measures as part of decision-making pertaining to
plot acquisition, planning, bidding or the start of
construction. Appropriately pricing the risks,
especially in long-term projects.
• Monitoring market reactions and taking targeted
adjustment measures.
• Increasing the staff's vigilance and awareness of
hybrid operations.
• Improving the company's preparedness for
unexpected situations.
Project portfolio
risks
• Efficiency risks and financial risks if the Group is
unsuccessful in site selection, tendering, contract
negotiations or project management.
• Non-compliance of project requirements with YIT's
competencies, resources or profitability targets.
• Risks associated with individual large projects may
jeopardise the company's financial performance.
• Managing the project portfolio so that the set targets
can be achieved within the planned risk thresholds.
• Ensuring and planning key resources and
competencies before making the final commitment to
a project at the tendering and/or project
development phase.
• Using the decision-making authorisations defined in
the YIT investment policy with risk ratings to
determine the decision-making level and profitability
target of the project.
• Focusing on the pre-selection of large projects by
using gate review practices before the project
development phase. Risk and project management
in large projects involves more frequently recurring
monitoring and review practices during the
implementation phase in addition to financial
reporting reviews.
Project and
property risks
• Risks related to diversity, planning management, the
quality of the tender and planning documentation,
and the suitability of the contracting form, as well as
project lifecycle risks.
• Breaking down projects into appropriate
implementation packages and choosing the right
method of implementation, particularly in self
developed projects. Proactively identifying the risks
and opportunities and preparing a project risk
management plan before the start of the planning
phase. Dividing the risks between the project
participants.
• Managing planning and changes to plans and
designs. Planning flexible and adaptable projects
whenever possible. Ensuring the economic feasibility
of projects during the management of planning.
• Completing the planning process before the start of
the implementation phase and taking advantage of
the 'golden window' in production planning when the
plans have been completed.
• Efficiently managing procurement and ensuring
active participation of the procurement function in the
management of planning.
• Using gate reviews to assess the risks of individual
projects, and mitigating these risks as part of the
fulfilment of the gate's decision-making criteria.

RISK RISK DESCRIPTION RISK MANAGEMENT
Customer and end
user risks
• The implementation of self-developed projects
includes a sales risk due to changing economic
cycles.
• In the case of contracting projects and investor sales,
the fixed price implementation form in particular
poses a profitability risk as inflation related to material
costs continues.
• In contracting projects, there are the requirements of
the client organisation, the quality of the plans and
risks related to the effectiveness of the cooperation.
Additional work and alterations during the project in
proportion to the original project package are a risk,
especially in the case of target price or price ceiling
contracts.
• The implementation and completion of projects, as
well as the warranty and maintenance period, may
involve risks that can reduce the profitability of
projects.
• In the case of self-developed projects, achieving an
adequate sales or occupancy rate by means of
market-based pricing.
• Preparing for cost increases with adequate
provisions for increases and, where possible, linking
the costs of key materials to indices.
• Through active cooperation with the client and the
designers, seeking collaborative implementation
models to mitigate risks related to the
implementation phase and improve the management
of additional work and alterations.
• Actively influencing the development of the general
contractual terms used in the construction industry.
Complying with the general contractual terms.
• Communicating with customers and managing
customer insight. Managing contracting forms and
contract structures. Using legal expertise in the
drafting of contracts.
• Developing the management of additional work and
alterations as part of project management.
Risks related to
project
implementation and
liability period
• Project management challenges in individual projects
may jeopardise the achievement of the financial
targets, particularly in the case of large projects.
• The project implementation phase involves various
risks involving factors such as construction feasibility,
unexpected changes in project scope, yield or costs,
partners, performance of the construction site and
contractor, schedules, environment, occupational
health and safety risks, quality deviations, complaints,
liability repairs and service-level deviations. Impact of
the aforementioned risks on the project's financial
performance and financial reporting.
• Monitoring project deviations and their impact on
project performance as part of YIT's monthly
reporting and monthly reviews. Highlighting
significant deviations in the monthly or gate reviews,
and planning corrective measures and follow-up
actions.
• Continuously maintaining the risk management plan
and assessing the financial impact as part of project
management and reporting. Implementing gate
reviews concerning risks and, in the case of high-risk
projects, using periodic risk reviews. Escalating
deviations. Discussing the risks in monthly financial
reports.
• In the case of large projects, realising more frequent
reviews in the implementation phase and ensuring
that not only the project management but also
group- and segment-level management attend the
reviews.

Financial risks

RISK RISK DESCRIPTION RISK MANAGEMENT
Reporting risks • Changes in accounting standards and their
interpretation may lead to changes in YIT's
accounting policies and consequently affect YIT's
financial indicators.
• Actual figures and projections related to customer
projects constitute a significant part of YIT's financial
reporting. Risks such as project implementation and
liability period risks may have an unexpected impact
and may therefore affect YIT's financial performance.
• Managing risks related to financial reporting with the
aid of the Group's accounting principles, financing
and tax policy, investment guideline, acquisition
instructions, control environment and internal control.
• Actively monitoring the development of accounting
standards and assessing their impact.
• Maintaining and consistently complying with the
defined accounting principles.
• Continuously monitoring business forecasts, training
personnel and developing the reporting and ERP
system.
Financial risks • The most significant financial risks are risks related to
the availability of financing (acquisition of new loans
and refinancing), liquidity, interest rates and the
development of foreign exchange rates.
• The Group has regular financing needs and an
extensive portfolio of financial instruments. Depending
on the prevailing situation in the financial markets and
the development of the Group's profitability and/or
financial position, the availability of financing may
decline, or the price of financing may increase. Some
of the Group's financing agreements and credit limits
are subject to compliance with certain financial
covenants.
• The desire of banks and investors to limit their own
risk exposure in the construction sector, which may
lead to a reduction in the availability of financing or
other credit limits, making it more difficult to start or
participate in new projects.
• The Group's most significant exchange rate risks are
related to investments made in currencies other than
the euro in group companies located outside the euro
area, such as zloty-denominated investments in
Poland.
• Rising interest rates in euros and the Group's other
operating currencies increase the financing costs.
• Ensuring that sufficient credit facilities and a sufficient
number of financing sources are available, and
actively managing financing agreements.
• Aiming to safeguard the sufficiency of financing so
that the liquidity available to the Group matches the
Group's overall liquidity requirement at all times.
• Managing the Group's foreign exchange risk through
foreign exchange forward contracts used for hedging
debt investments in Group companies, among other
measures. Managing the translation risks arising from
equity investments by optimising the capital structure
of Group companies.
• Managing the interest rate risk by striving to set the
average interest rate fixing period of the Group's
liabilities close to the interest rate sensitivity level of
the Group's business. Monitoring the average
interest rate fixing period of liabilities and the ratio
between fixed rate and floating rate liabilities.
Preparing sensitivity analyses on the Group's interest
rate risk. Using interest rate derivatives for hedging
against the interest rate risk.
Capital efficiency • Excessive growth of capital if YIT fails to manage the
capital employed. This would lead to increased
financing costs and the risk of non-compliance with
key financial covenants. A reduction in the Group's
strategic leeway.
• YIT's measures to increase capital efficiency may
result in write-downs or expenses that may have a
negative or positive financial impact.
• Continuously assessing the use of the capital
employed and its allocation to the business
functions, and taking the necessary action to
improve capital efficiency.

Event risks

RISK RISK DESCRIPTION RISK MANAGEMENT
Information
systems, data
security and data
protection
• The cybersecurity incident risk could jeopardise the
continuity of business.
• Any long-term disruptions in global supply chains will
have repercussions for all services provided.
• A repair backlog and development needs of systems
supporting the business processes will slow down
business growth.
• Developing controls as a continuous process, ensuring
detection and resolution capabilities. Ensuring the
continuity and recovery of critical services in the changed
service production model.
• Ensuring service-related supply chains, resourcing and
contingency arrangements in the changed service
production model.
• Developing information systems to support the business
through a shared development plan.
Pandemics,
COVID-19
• An epidemic or pandemic may have a direct or
indirect impact on the Group's operations and risks
due to factors such as the availability of personnel,
sickness rate, administrative decisions, and the
availability and price of materials and financing.
These can lead to the temporary closure of
construction sites or slower progress and delays in
completion, and consequently financial risks and
risks associated with financial reporting.
• An epidemic or pandemic may influence the
occupancy rates of owned or sold properties and
consequently their value.
• A prolonged pandemic may affect consumers' and
investors' purchasing decisions and their timing.
• Ensuring the continuity of construction sites and
procurement through analyses, substitution arrangements,
the scheduling of work and breaks, the maintenance of
appropriate hygiene standards and active communication.
• Engaging in active dialogue with various stakeholders and
the public authorities.
Criminal
offences,
misconduct and
other serious
non-conformities
• YIT's business is local and project-oriented. Criminal
offences and incidents of misconduct are typically
related to construction site functions or
procurement. The networked and chained operating
principles in the construction industry and the
relatively low barrier to entry may create conflicts of
interest or risks involving the grey economy.
• Climate change, economic uncertainty, geopolitical
escalation and political activity may increase the
probability of incident risks.
• In recent years, the construction industry has developed
risk management concerning the grey economy. Examples
of this include the VAT reverse charge, reporting in
compliance with the Act on the Contractor's Obligations
and Liability when Work is Contracted Out, the use of the
Valtti card, and monthly company- and employee-level
reporting to the Finnish Tax Administration.
• YIT's risk management is based on the Group's values,
leadership principles, Code of Conduct and Supplier Code
of Conduct.
• Decision-making authorisations have been defined at the
Group level and separately for each business segment. In
addition to the Group Investment Board, segment-level
investment boards have been established, and some
decision-making powers have been delegated to them.
• Detecting and addressing serious non-conformities
through an escalation procedure.
• In the case of insured risks, the Group decides on and
acquires Group insurance policies and supports the
business units in insurance-related matters.
• Proactively managing the risks, typical examples being
conducting risk assessments for contractual partners and
acquired properties before making any commitments and
managing corporate security risks on construction sites
with the aid of access control and CCTV systems.
• Investigating serious non-conformities in accordance with
the agreed process, minimising damage and continuous
development based on the lessons learned. Raising
alertness regarding incidents in the business operations
and on the Group's sites.
• Raising alertness regarding incidents in the business
operations and on the company's sites.
