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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Restated financial information for 2022 and Q1/2023
On 20 June 2023, YIT published restated financial information for 2022 and Q1/2023 reflecting the new organisational structure.

The operations in the former Property Development segment have been allocated to the other segments and Group Functions. As a result, YIT has restated the financial information for 2022 and for Q1/2023.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Climate change | • Climate change may present physical, legislative, technical, financial, market and reputational risks to YIT's business. • Extreme weather conditions such as considerably higher annual rainfall or extended periods of hot weather may lead to increased costs, changes in planning processes or delays in production. • Costs related to CO2 emissions or emissions reductions may create pressure regarding the supply chain or the development of new solutions as the construction industry transitions to alternative building materials and seeks more effective ways to reduce emissions. • Increasing sustainability-related requirements among customers, investors and other stakeholders may be reflected in YIT's customer demand, financing conditions and attractiveness as an investment or development partner. • Failing to reach the emissions targets may influence the availability or cost of financing. • The fight against climate change may lead to rapid and significant legislative constraints and requirements. |
• Regularly evaluating climate risks and opportunities. • Adopting a proactive approach and setting ambitious goals to develop the operations in a sustainable and climate-friendly direction. • Incorporating sustainability criteria into YIT's investment and tendering processes. • Engaging in active cooperation and dialogue with stakeholders in the value chain to develop alternative construction materials and solutions. • Using YIT's proactive project and product development, piloting new solutions and ensuring active cooperation throughout the value chain. |
| Risks related to sustainability legislation |
• Changes to legislation concerning sustainability or changes in the interpretation of the regulations may lead to declining investor and consumer demand, poorer availability of financing or increased financing costs, or otherwise weaken the Group's operating conditions. |
• Evaluating legislative requirements in detail and preparing related impact assessments. |
| Changes in legislation and requirements |
• Changes in legislation and the authorities' processes may slow down the progress of projects, have a negative impact on net debt, increase the need for equity or debt financing, or prevent additional funding from being realised. • In the case of individual projects, factors that can cause risks or postpone the order book, revenue, profit and cash flow from one quarter or year to the next include zoning, building permits, and approvals and interpretations by the authorities. |
• Continuously monitoring changes in legislation and regulations. Actively participating in zoning to manage the risks. Identifying and assessing all risks that affect projects and the project portfolio before making any tender or start-up decisions. • Engaging in active dialogue with stakeholders and the authorities throughout the project lifecycle. Using proactive project risk management to ensure that last-minute decisions or changes will not have a significant impact on the start or completion of projects and consequently on financial indicators. |

| 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. |

| RISK | RISK DESCRIPTION | RISK MANAGEMENT |
|---|---|---|
| Investments & divestments, mergers and acquisitions |
• The Group's investments, divestments, mergers or 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. |
