Interim Report January 1 – June 30, 2014: Growth in Housing, progress in capital release
Unless otherwise noted, the figures in brackets refer to the corresponding period in the previous year.
April–June 2014 (Segment reporting, POC)
- Revenue increased by 5% to EUR 451.4 (430.9) million. At comparable exchange rates, revenue increased by 9%.
- Operating profit amounted to EUR 34.7 (38.3) million and operating profit margin was 7.7% (8.9).
- The order backlog increased by 8% from the end of March, amounting to EUR 2,923.9 million.
- Operating cash flow after investments amounted to EUR -16.4 (-76.9) million.
January–June 2014 (Segment reporting, POC)
- Revenue decreased by 3% to EUR 854.5 (882.9) million. At comparable exchange rates, revenue increased by 1%.

Guidance for 2014 specified
The Group revenue based on segment reporting is estimated to grow by 0–5% at comparable exchange rates. The operating profit margin based on segment reporting is estimated to be in the range of 7.5–8.0% excluding nonrecurring items.
Continuing uncertainty over the general macroeconomic development impacts YIT's business operations and customers. Prolongation and escalation of the Ukrainian crisis would probably have a negative effect on YIT's business operations.
Previously, YIT estimated that the Group revenue based on segment reporting would grow by 0–10% at comparable exchange rates, and the operating profit margin based on segment reporting was estimated to be in the range of 7.5– 8.5% excluding non-recurring items.
Kari Kauniskangas, President and CEO:
I am satisfied with the result we achieved in the second quarter, taking into account the continued challenging market situation in Finland and the impact of capital release on profitability.
In the Housing segment, revenue grew in Finland, the Baltic countries and Central Eastern Europe, and also in Russia at comparable exchange rates, although the growth slowed down in Russia after the exceptionally strong beginning of the year.
The result of the Business Premises and Infrastructure segment improved, as expected, from the weak level seen in the first quarter after infrastructure projects regained full speed. Our most significant projects progressed according to plan. We also signed new road maintenance agreements and won contracts that supported our order backlog. We also took promising steps in leasing business premises and sales to investors.
We carried on our efforts to improve capital efficiency: we continued active sales and signed for example a EUR 50 million agreement on plot cooperation to be implemented in 2014. We expect our measures to release capital to produce results in the second half of 2014.
Cash flow in the second quarter remained slightly negative, but we target positive cash flow after investments and dividends on a full-year level.
Our priorities remain unchanged for the second half of the year, and we will thus continue our efforts to improve customer focus, cost-efficiency, cash flow and capital efficiency.

Group financial development based on segment reporting
Accounting principles applied in the interim report
YIT Corporation's management follows the development of the company's business according to the percentage of completion-based segment reporting method (POC). Therefore, the explanatory statement of the interim report focuses on describing the company's performance according to this reporting. YIT also reports on its operations in accordance with IFRS guidelines, where the company applies, for example, the IFRIC 15 guidelines. The effects of the differences of the recognition principles are presented in detail in the tables to the interim report.
The Building Services segment was transferred to Caverion Corporation in the partial demerger of June 2013, and the comparison figures for 2013 in the explanatory statement of the interim report concern continuing operations. The result of Building Services for January–June 2013 is reported under discontinued operations in the tables section.

Revenue, POC
April–June
The Group's revenue increased by 5% year-on-year. At comparable exchange rates, revenue increased by 9%. The revenue growth was supported by factors including the positive development of housing sales in the Baltic countries and Central Eastern Europe, the higher completion rate of sold apartments compared to the previous year, and the plot sales to the Hypo Group in Finland worth approximately EUR 25 million.
The revenue of the Business Premises and Infrastructure segment decreased substantially due to the weak business premises market, in spite of the expected pick up in infrastructure construction after the slow start of the year.
January–June
The Group's revenue decreased by 3% year-on-year. At comparable exchange rates, revenue increased by 1%. The Housing segment's revenue showed strong development in the Baltic countries and Central Eastern Europe, with growth also achieved in Russia on the back of exceptionally strong sales early in the year. The segment's revenue growth was also supported by the plot sales to the Hypo Group worth approximately EUR 25 million. The Housing segment's revenue was weighed down by the ruble being 18% weaker year-onyear.
The revenue of the Business Premises and Infrastructure segment decreased substantially due to the weak business premises market among other things.

April–June
Operating profit declined by 9% year-on-year. The operating profit margin was 7.7% (4–6/13: 8.9%).
The operating profit margin of the Housing segment was weighed down by factors such as bundle deals made in Russia and Finland, changes in the geographic mix and the plot sales to the Hypo Group worth approximately EUR 25 million, which had no earnings effect. The profitability of the Business Premises and Infrastructure segment was negatively affected by volume being lower than in the comparison period. Changes in foreign exchange rates had a negative impact of EUR 2.5 million on operating profit.
January–June
Operating profit declined by 17% year-on-year. The operating profit margin was 7.2% (1–6/13: 8.4%).
The operating profit margin of the Housing segment was weighed down by factors such as weak housing price development in Russia and capital release efforts. The profitability of the Business Premises and Infrastructure segment was negatively affected by low volume. Changes in foreign exchange rates had a negative impact of EUR 5.5 million on operating profit.

Operating cash flow after investments for January– June amounted to EUR -28.7 million. The cash flow of plot investments totaled EUR -76.3 million. The company paid dividends of EUR 47.7 million for 2013 in compliance with the resolution of the Annual General Meeting.
Return on investment declined from the end of March due to extra capital tied up in business premises construction as production progressed, as well as the decrease in the 12-month rolling operating profit.
One of YIT's key priorities has been to improve capital efficiency. In January–June, capital was released by measures including investor sales, an agreement on plot cooperation worth EUR 50 million, and the sale of EUR 16 million in slow-moving assets. The Ukrainian crisis has increased cautiousness of Western players in Russia which has slowed down the sales of slow-moving assets. Results have, however, been achieved with local players.

Housing Finland, the Baltic countries and Central Eastern Europe
Operating environment
Finnish consumer confidence remained weak in January–June, with consumers continuing to be cautious in their purchase decisions. Housing investors remained active. The development of housing prices has been polarised as prices have increased moderately in the Helsinki region while having decreased slightly in rest of Finland. The demand for small, reasonably priced apartments has remained high. The interest rates on mortgages remained low, and margins on loans
decreased slightly. The volume of new mortgages began to recover in the second quarter.
Positive macroeconomic development supported the housing markets in the Baltic countries and Central Eastern Europe. Consumer confidence showed positive development particularly in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Residential prices increased moderately in the Baltic countries and Central Eastern Europe during the review period.

April–June
The revenue of the Housing Finland, the Baltic countries and Central Eastern Europe business area increased by 42% year-on-year. The revenue growth in Finland was attributable to factors such as the higher completion rate of sold apartments compared to the previous year and the plot sales to the Hypo Group worth approximately EUR 25 million. Housing sales continued to develop positively in the Baltic countries and Central Eastern Europe.
The business area's operating profit increased by 18% year-on-year, and the operating profit margin stood at 8.6% (4–6/13: 10.4%). The operating profit margin was affected negatively by bundle deals with investors and the plot sales to the Hypo Group, which had no earnings effect. Profitability improved in the Baltic countries and Central Eastern Europe.
Investor sales in Finland remained active in April– June, and YIT started construction on several apartment building projects for clients including ICECAPITAL, TA-Yhtiöt and VVO. YIT's subsidiary YIT Reding was
selected as the Developer of the Year 2014 and Construction Company of the Year 2014 in Slovakia.
YIT's sales inventory of apartments in Finland remained at the level of the end of March, and start-ups focused on small and affordable apartments. The sales inventory has been grown in a controlled manner in the Baltic countries, the Czech Republic and Slovakia according to demand.
January–June
The business area's revenue grew by 12% year-onyear. Of the business area's revenue, Finland accounted for 90%, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania for 5%, and the Czech Republic and Slovakia for 5%. The revenue grew due to the positive development of housing sales in the Baltic countries and Central Eastern Europe and the plot sales to the Hypo Group worth approximately EUR 25 million.
The business area's operating profit decreased by 9% year-on-year, and the operating profit margin stood at 9.2% (1–6/13: 11.3%). Profitability was weighed down by the capital release efforts. Profitability improved in the Baltic countries and Central Eastern Europe.

Housing Russia
Operating environment
In the first months of the year, housing demand in Russia grew as a result of the ruble weakening due to the Ukrainian crisis, which led to consumers transferring their assets to fixed property. However, in April–June, housing demand fell from the high level seen earlier in the year. Housing prices remained stable in January– June. The role of mortgage financing has continued to
grow in Russia. There were no significant changes in mortgage rates during the review period.
There were no significant changes in the competitive situation during the review period. The increase in construction costs slowed down slightly from the previous year.

April–June
The revenue of the Housing Russia business area remained at the level of the comparison period. At comparable exchange rates, revenue grew by 16%.
The business area's operating profit decreased by 19%, and the operating profit margin stood at 11.8% (4–6/13: 14.6%). Profitability was negatively affected by factors such as the bundle deals totalling 130 apartments in the Moscow region with Norilsk Nickel and the higher share of lower-margin projects.
In April–June, YIT started several projects in Russia, the most significant of which were a start-up of 490 apartments in the vicinity of the historical centre of St. Petersburg and a start-up of 620 apartments in the Novo Orlovsky area development project, also in St. Petersburg.
YIT's sales inventory of apartments in Russia grew by 9% from the end of March due to new start-ups.
In April–June, consumers used mortgages in 46% of YIT's residential deals in Russia. At the end of June 2014, YIT was responsible for the service and maintenance of approximately 17,000 apartments.
January–June
The revenue of the Housing Russia business area grew by 5% year-on-year. At comparable exchange rates, revenue grew by 24%.
The business area's operating profit decreased by 12%, and the operating profit margin stood at 11.5% (1–6/13: 13.8%). Profitability was negatively affected by factors such as the development of prices being more modest than in the comparison period and the higher share of lower-margin projects.
The sales inventory at the end of the period was geographically balanced.

Business Premises and Infrastructure
Operating environment
The Finnish business premises market remained subdued in January–June. End-users continued to be cautious in renting new business premises, but investor interest in prime locations remained at a moderate level. Rents for business premises were stable in the review period.
Macroeconomic recovery has supported the business premises markets in the Baltic countries and Central Eastern Europe.
Infrastructure market in Finland remained relatively stable in the review period, and private equity investors were active in M&A in the sector.

April–June
The segment's revenue decreased by 17% year-onyear. In Finland revenue was weighed down particularly by the weak development of business premises construction in the Helsinki region. In infra services, revenue recovered from the low level seen in the first quarter as projects picked up after the slow winter season.
Operating profit declined by 31% year-on-year, and the segment's operating profit margin was 4.7% (4–6/13: 5.6%). Profitability was weakened particularly by the low volume of business premises construction.
In April, YIT sold the Bisnespaja Avia business premises to non-UCITS Fund OP Vuokratuotto. Sales processes are ongoing for other significant selfdeveloped business premises projects. In June, YIT started also the construction of a new business premises project BW Tower, located in connection with the new Lahti bus and freight terminal.
In the Baltic countries and Central Eastern Europe, business premises construction progressed very well
and the company won new contracts. The SOK Prisma constructed by YIT opened in Vilnius, Lithuania.
In infra services, YIT won maintenance contracts in Espoo, Mikkeli, Salo and Kuhmo. The total value of the contracts is approximately EUR 68 million, with EUR 43 million recorded in the order backlog in Q2. In addition, YIT, Sito and the City of Lahti signed an agreement to implement the new Lahti bus and freight terminal through an alliance model. The value of the project for YIT is approximately EUR 15 million.

Attributable to equity holders of the parent company
April–June
After IFRS adjustments, the Group's revenue for the period decreased by 19% year-on-year. The decrease in revenue was due to lower handovers of self-developed apartments to buyers, the lower volume of the Business Premises and Infrastructure segment, and the weakening of ruble.
After IFRS adjustments, the Group's operating profit declined by 74% year-on-year, and after IFRS adjustments, the Group's operating profit margin was 2.4% (4–6/13: 7.4%). The weak profitability was due to low volume. In group reporting, self-developed residential projects are only recognised as income upon project handover. The timing of completion of selfdeveloped projects affects the Group's revenue recognition, and therefore group figures may fluctuate greatly between different quarters. In addition, in group
reporting the interest expenses are capitalised according to IAS 23, which causes differences in operating profit and financial expenses between segment reporting and group reporting.

Capital structure and liquidity position
YIT's liquidity position remained strong in January– June. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 75.3 million at the end of June. In addition, YIT had undrawn committed credit facilities amounting to EUR 330.0 million and undrawn overdraft facilities amounting to EUR 64.6 million. YIT Corporation's bank loan and credit facility agreements include a covenant requiring the Group's equity ratio to be higher than 25% based on the IFRS balance sheet. At the end of June, the equity ratio was 32.2%.
The total amount of interest-bearing debt rose to EUR 935.5 million at the end of June. The higher debt was attributable to an increase in capital tied up in production. A total of EUR 65.6 million of long-term loans will mature during the remainder of 2014. Net interest-bearing debt amounted to EUR 860.2 million at the end of June, and the gearing ratio was 130.4%.
Net financial expenses increased in January–June year-on-year and amounted to EUR 9.3 million (1–6/13: EUR 4.8 million), in addition to which, interest expenses at the amount of EUR 8.4 million (1–6/13: EUR 9.0 million) were capitalized in accordance with IAS 23.
The interest on participations in housing corporation loans is included in housing corporation charges and is thus booked in project expenses. Interest on the participations amounted to EUR 1.6 million in January– June (1–6/13: EUR 1.5 million).
The hedged ruble exposure increased from the end of March. At the end of June, EUR 151.3 million of the capital invested in Russia was comprised of debt investments (3/14: EUR 121.3 million) and EUR 400.4 million was equity investments or similar permanent net investments (3/14: EUR 394.2 million). In accordance with YIT's hedging policy, the debt investments are hedged against exchange rate risk, while equity investments are not hedged due to their permanent nature.

The price of YIT's share was EUR 10.17 at the beginning of the year. The closing price of the share on the last trading day of the review period on June 30, 2014, was EUR 8.41. YIT's share price decreased by approximately 17% during the review period. The highest price of the share during the review period was EUR 10.70, the lowest EUR 7.05 and the average price was EUR 8.37. Share turnover on Nasdaq OMX Helsinki during the review period was 68 million shares. The value of the share turnover was EUR 572 million.
During the review period, 51 million YIT Corporation shares changed hands in alternative market places, corresponding to approximately 43% of the total share trade, source: Fidessa Fragmentation Index.
YIT Corporation's market capitalisation on the last trading day of the review period on June 30, 2014, was EUR 1,056.2 million. The market capitalisation has been calculated excluding the shares held by the company.
Number of shareholders and flagging notifications
At the end of June 2014, the number of registered shareholders was 44,264 (6/13: 39,251). At the end of June, a total of 30.9% of the shares were owned by nominee-registered and non-Finnish investors (6/13: 34.7%).
During the review period, the company received no "flagging notifications" of change in ownership in YIT Corporation in accordance with Chapter 2, Section 9, of the Securities Market Act.
Most significant short-term business risks and risk management
YIT classifies as risks factors that might endanger the achievement of the Group's strategic and financial goals if they should materialise. Risks are divided into strategic, operational, financial and event risks. The identification and management of risks take into account the special features of the business and operating environment. Risk management is an integral part of the Group's management, monitoring and reporting systems. The nature and probability of strategic risks is continuously monitored and reported on. A strategic risk assessment is carried out at Group level once a year in connection with the review of the strategy.
In accordance with the strategy of the continuing operations approved by the company's Board of Directors on June 3, 2013, improving resistance to economic cycles and widening financial operating space are key targets of YIT's business operations. In connection with the ratification of the strategy, risk management was highlighted as one of the key focus areas over the next years.
YIT is developing the Group's business structure to be balanced and resistant to economic fluctuations. The Group operates in seven countries and therefore economic fluctuations impact operations at different times in different countries and markets. The Group's business areas balance each other and improve the Group's resistance to economic fluctuations. Fluctuation in consumer demand for housing in Finland has been balanced through investor deals of residential projects, which has contributed to decreasing the Group's exposure to such fluctuations. The company aims to react to changes in the operating environment in time and to utilise the new business opportunities provided by them through continuous monitoring and analysis.
YIT's typical operational risks include risks related to plot investments, sales risk of self-developed residential and business premises projects, and risks related to contract tenders, service agreements, project management and personnel. YIT manages sales risk by adjusting the number of housing start-ups according to the estimated residential demand and the number of unsold apartments (the figures for residential production are presented under Development by business segment) and by normally securing anchor tenants prior to starting a business premises project and the investor in an early phase of construction. Changes in the availability of mortgages and real estate financing are key risks related to the demand for apartments.
One of YIT's strategic focus areas is widening the financial operating space, and accordingly targets have been set on releasing capital. A risk of loss of income is related to capital release efforts in a challenging market environment.
No write-offs were made to plots in the review period. YIT tests the value of its plots as required by IFRS accounting principles. Plot reserves are measured at acquisition cost and the plot value is impaired when it is estimated that the building being constructed on the plot will be sold at a price lower than the sum of the price of the plot and the construction costs.
Financial risks include risks related to the sufficiency of financing, currency and interest rates, credit and counterparty risks and risks related to the reporting process. Financial risks are managed through accounting and financing policies as well as internal and external auditing.
Approximately 77% of the IFRS revenue during the review period was derived from euro countries. The Russian ruble is one of the Group's key currencies. The Group's most significant currency risk is related to rubledenominated investments. Capital invested in Russia totalled EUR 551.7 million at the end of the review period (6/13: EUR 565.9 million). The amount of equity or equivalent net investments at the end of the period came to EUR 400.4 million (6/13: EUR 434.0 million). The equity investments in the Russian subsidiaries are unhedged in accordance with the treasury policy, and a potential weakening of the ruble would have a corresponding negative impact on the Group's shareholders' equity. Debt investments in Russian subsidiaries amounted to EUR 151.3 million at the end of the review period (6/13: EUR 131.9 million), and this exposure was hedged in full. The differences in the interest rates between the euro and ruble have an effect on hedging costs and therefore net financial expenses.
Possible event risks include accidents related to personal or information security and sudden and unforeseen material damage to premises, project sites and other property, resulting from fire, collapse or theft, for example. YIT complies with a group-wide security policy covering the different areas of security. A more detailed account of YIT's risk management policy and the most significant risks were published in the Annual Report 2013.
Prolongation and escalation of the Ukrainian crisis would probably have a negative effect on YIT's business operations. The management will closely monitor the development of the situation and its potential effects on YIT's business operations. YIT will continue its business operations in Russia normally by developing projects according to demand. Cash flow management is a particular focus area in project development, production and sales.
Events after the review period
In July, YIT's residential sales in Finland have been at previous year's level. Respectively, sales have increased in the Baltic countries and Central Eastern Europe.
In Russia, residential sales have been below the previous year's level in July.
Outlook for 2014
Guidance for 2014 specified
The Group revenue based on segment reporting is estimated to grow by 0–5% at comparable exchange rates. The operating profit margin based on segment reporting is estimated to be in the range of 7.5–8.0% excluding non-recurring items.
Continuing uncertainty over the general macroeconomic development impacts YIT's business operations and customers. Prolongation and escalation of the Ukrainian crisis would probably have a negative effect on YIT's business operations.
Housing
In the long term, residential demand in Finland will be supported by migration to growth centres. Furthermore, the population and the number of households will increase with continued migration and the increasing number of one-person households. YIT estimates that the demand for small apartments, in particular, will remain good.
Apartment start-ups are expected to decrease in Finland. According to RT's (Confederation of Finnish Construction Industries) June 2014 estimate, the construction of 26,500 apartments will start in Finland during 2014. According to a report published by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland in January 2012, the annual need for the production of new apartments amounts to 24,000–29,000 apartments.
YIT estimates that housing prices in Finland will remain stable on average in 2014, but the polarisation of prices will continue. The increase in construction costs is expected to be moderate. The interest rates of mortgages are forecasted to remain low. However, the macroeconomic uncertainty and consumer confidence
being below the long-term average are expected to continue to affect the Finnish housing market.
Residential demand in the Baltic countries is expected to be supported by economic growth. Furthermore, the poor condition of residential buildings creates a need for new, high-quality apartments. The volume of residential construction is estimated to grow in the Baltic countries and Slovakia (Forecon and Euroconstruct, June 2014). Euroconstruct (June, 2014) estimated that residential start-ups will decline slightly in the Czech Republic. YIT estimates that housing prices will increase slightly in the Baltic countries and Central Eastern Europe.
In Russia, the volume of residential construction is estimated to remain unchanged from the previous year (Forecon, June 2014). YIT estimates that housing prices in Russia will remain stable and that interest rates on mortgages will increase in the second half of 2014. The weakened macroeconomic outlook in Russia may have a negative effect on the housing market. Prolongation and escalation of the Ukrainian crisis would probably have a negative effect on YIT's business operations.
The long-term outlook for Russian residential construction is good. Living space per person is still clearly lower than in Western Europe and housing is in poor condition, which creates the need for new, highquality housing. Furthermore, the middle class is expected to grow in proportion to the population and the number of households is expected to increase. The development of the mortgage market in Russia has also contributed to the expansion of the potential buyer base. YIT has promoted the availability of mortgages to consumers through extensive cooperation with partner banks.
Business Premises and Infrastructure
The demand for business premises is expected to remain weak in Finland. Retail construction is expected to increase by 17%, while office construction is expected to contract by 13% in 2014 (Euroconstruct, June 2014). Real estate investors' interest in good projects in prime locations is expected to be good, and long-term tenants are appreciated.
In the Baltic countries, business premises construction is estimated to increase by 9% in 2014 (Forecon, June 2014). In Slovakia, business premises construction is expected to decrease by 8% in 2014 (Euroconstruct, June 2014).
Infrastructure construction in Finland is estimated to decrease slightly in comparison with 2013 (Euroconstruct, June 2014). The competition is expected to remain tight, especially for smaller contracts. The government is expected to initiate further investment into the rail network in the capital region (west metro extension).

2 Notes, segment reporting
2.1 Segment reporting accounting principles
In reporting to the management the revenue from own residential and commercial development projects is recognised by multiplying the degree of completion and the degree of sale, i.e. according to the percentage of completion method, which does not fully comply with Group's IFRS accounting principles. According to the Group's IFRS accounting principles revenue from own residential construction projects is recognised on completion and the commercial development projects the recognition practice will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and in accordance with the terms and conditions of each contract. The share of income and expenses to be recognised is calculated by multiplying the percentage of completion by the percentage of sale multiplied by the occupancy rate. YIT usually sells own commercial development projects to investors either prior to construction or during an early phase. The impact of the difference in reporting principles is shown in the line IFRS adjustment. As a result of the accounting policy, Group figures can fluctuate greatly between quarters.
In addition in group reporting the interest expenses are capitalized according to IAS 23 standard, which causes differences in operating profit and financial expenses between segment reporting and group reporting.
The chief operating decision-maker is the YIT Group's Management Board, which reviews the Group's internal reporting in order to assess performance and allocate resources to the segments.

- Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,
- either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices).
Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
