Interim Report January 1 – March 31, 2014: Moderate development in Housing, challenges in Business Premises and Infrastructure
Unless otherwise noted, the figures in brackets refer to the corresponding period in the previous year.
January–March 2014 (Segment reporting, POC)
- Revenue decreased by 11% to EUR 403.1 (452.0) million. At comparable exchange rates, revenue decreased by 6%.
- Operating profit amounted to EUR 26.9 (35.9) million and operating profit margin was 6.7% (7.9).
- The order backlog remained at the level of the end of 2013, amounting to EUR 2,696.7 million.
- Operating cash flow after investments amounted to EUR -12.3 (-5.3) million.
Guidance for 2014 remains unchanged
The Group revenue based on segment reporting is estimated to grow by 0–10% at comparable exchange rates. The operating profit margin based on segment reporting is estimated to be in the range of 7.5–8.5% excluding nonrecurring items.
Continuing uncertainty over the general macroeconomic development impacts YIT's business operations and customers. Prolongation and potential escalation of the Ukrainian crisis would probably have a negative effect on YIT's business operations.
Kari Kauniskangas, President and CEO:
The market situation remained challenging in the first quarter, and the Ukrainian crisis increased the uncertainty in our operating environment. In Russia, our housing sales were boosted in February–March by consumers looking to shift their assets to fixed property. Prolongation and potential escalation of the crisis would probably have a negative effect on our business operations.
With respect to the Housing segment, we can be satisfied with our strong growth in the number of apartments sold in the first quarter in Russia, the Baltic countries and Central Eastern Europe. The result we achieved in Finland was fair considering the prevailing market environment. The weak development of our business premises operations, combined with lower volume in infra services due to seasonality and the timing of projects, meant that the Business Premises and Infrastructure segment achieved only a modest result.
In 2014, our priorities are customer focus, costefficiency and improving cash flow as well as capital efficiency. We are engaging in measures to further improve the customer experience, perceived quality and digital services, as well as introduce new concepts in response to customer needs. The prevailing demand is currently focused on cost-efficient premises. In product development, we emphasise design management, affordability of the products and achieving volume advantages in purchasing. To improve cash flow, we systematically implement the measures we have promised to normalise the number of completed unsold apartments and business premises, release slowmoving assets and build off-balance sheet partnerships to support our plot acquisitions. Cash flow and return on investment will remain key criteria for management remuneration in 2014.

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. The balance sheet for the comparison period, March 2013, includes the assets and liabilities of Building Services.

Revenue, POC
January–March
The Group's revenue decreased by 11% year-onyear. At comparable exchange rates, revenue decreased by 6%. Compared to the comparison period, the revenue for the Housing segment was negatively affected by the ruble being 20% weaker. The segment's revenue was also exceptionally high in the comparison period due to Finnish housing sales being boosted by a change in asset transfer tax in February 2013. Sales
developed positively in Russia, the Baltic countries and Central Eastern Europe. The revenue of the Business Premises and Infrastructure segment was particularly weighed down by the weak business premises market. During the review period, there were no sales of business premises projects with a significant effect on revenue. Revenue from infra services was low due to seasonality and the timing of projects.

January–March
Operating profit declined by 25% year-on-year due to lower volume and weaker profitability.
The operating profit margin was 6.7% (1-3/13: 7.9%). The operating profit margin of the Housing segment was weakened by the increased proportion of investor sales in Finland and the higher relative weight of the Baltic
countries and Central Eastern Europe. The segment's profitability was also exceptionally strong in the comparison period due to Finnish housing sales being boosted by a change in asset transfer tax. The profitability of the Business Premises and Infrastructure segment was negatively affected by low volume.

The order backlog at the end of March remained at the level of the end of December 2013. The order backlog of the Housing Russia business area was negatively affected by the weaker ruble, which had an effect compared to the end of 2013 of EUR -82 million. At the end of March, 35% of the order backlog had been sold (12/13: 34%).

Housing Finland, the Baltic countries and Central Eastern Europe
Operating environment
There were no significant changes in consumer demand for housing in January–March in Finland, with consumers remaining cautious in their purchase decisions. Activity among housing investors continued to be good. Residential prices remained relatively stable in Finland, and customers' access to financing improved slightly compared to the end of 2013. The interest rates of mortgages remained low, and mortgage terms have improved since the second half of 2013.
Positive macroeconomic development supported the housing markets in the Baltic countries and Central Eastern Europe. Housing demand has recovered particularly in Lithuania, while demand in Estonia has been affected by the weakness of the Finnish economy. Residential prices increased moderately in the Baltic countries and Central Eastern Europe during the review period.

January–March
The revenue of the Housing Finland, the Baltic countries and Central Eastern Europe business area decreased by 8% year-on-year. Of the business area's revenue, Finland accounted for 91%, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania for 5%, and the Czech Republic and
Slovakia for 4%. Revenue was negatively affected by weak consumer demand in Finland, but active housing sales to investors compensated for this. The business area's revenue was also exceptionally high in the comparison period due to Finnish housing sales being
boosted by a change in asset transfer tax in February 2013. Housing sales developed positively in the Baltic countries and Central Eastern Europe.
The business area's operating profit decreased by 25% year-on-year, and the operating profit margin stood at 9.7% (1-3/13: 11.9%). Profitability in the comparison period was exceptionally strong due to Finnish housing sales being boosted by a change in asset transfer tax. The operating profit margin was affected negatively by the increased proportion of investor sales in Finland and the higher relative weight of the Baltic countries and Central Eastern Europe. However, profitability improved in the Baltic countries and Central Eastern Europe.
YIT continued to maintain a conservative and demand-based approach to consumer start-ups in Finland. YIT started also the construction of 110 apartments for ICECAPITAL as a tender-based project during the review period. In the Baltic countries and Central Eastern Europe, the focus of operations has been shifted from tender-based production to own residential development projects in order to improve profitability. YIT started for example the construction of 80 apartments in Tallinn, Estonia and 100 apartments in Bratislava, Slovakia during the review period.
YIT's sales inventory of apartments in Finland remained largely unchanged from the end of 2013. The sales inventory has been grown in a controlled manner in the Baltic countries, the Czech Republic and Slovakia to better match demand.

Housing Russia
Operating environment
The demand for apartments was high in Russia in January-March. Housing demand grew as a result of the ruble weakening due to the Ukrainian crisis as consumers transferred their assets to fixed property. The prices of small apartments increased slightly, but overall, housing prices remained stable. The significance of mortgage financing has remained high in
Russia. The Central Bank of Russia increased its benchmark interest rate in March. However, this was not reflected in increased mortgage rates during the review period. The availability of financing remained good.
Competitors have been more conservative in their start-ups than last year. The increase in construction costs slowed down somewhat.

January–March
The revenue of the Housing Russia grew by 11% year-on-year. At comparable exchange rates, revenue grew by 33%. Demand was particularly good for the projects started in autumn 2013 in St. Petersburg.
The business area's operating profit decreased by 3%, and the operating profit margin stood at 11.2% (1- 3/13: 12.9%). Profitability was weakened by the development of prices being more modest than in the comparison period, and the apartments sold in Russia having a lower rate of completion.
Residential start-ups were more conservative than in the comparison period due to increased uncertainty, but project development has continued normally maintaining a good readiness to increase start-ups in line with the market situation. YIT started for example the third phase of the Smolny prospekt project in St. Petersburg, comprising approximately 150 apartments.
The Russian sales inventory decreased by 6% compared to the end of 2013. Especially the number of unsold completed apartments declined. The sales inventory at the end of the period was more geographically balanced than previously.
In the review period, customers used mortgages in 41% of YIT's residential deals in Russia. At the end of March 2014, YIT was responsible for the service and maintenance of approximately 16,500 apartments.

Business Premises and Infrastructure
Operating environment
The Finnish business premises market remained subdued in January–March. Investor interest in the Finnish business premises market was at a moderate level, but end users remained cautious. Rents for business premises remained stable in the review period, but vacancy rates increased slightly. Competition for contracts has remained tight.
Positive macroeconomic development supported the business premises markets in the Baltic countries and Central Eastern Europe, but competition for business premises contracts remained intense.
The infrastructure market remained relatively stable in the period under review.

January–March
The segment's revenue decreased by 24% year-onyear. Revenue was particularly weighed down by the weak Finnish business premises market. Volumes were also low in infra services due to seasonality and the timing of projects.
Operating profit declined by 94% year-on-year, and the segment's operating profit margin was 0.2% (1-3/13: 1.9%). Profitability was weakened by low volume.
In February, YIT signed an agreement to buy the share capital of the Lauttasaari mall located in Helsinki. The existing mall will be demolished and replaced by a hybrid complex consisting of a shopping centre and three blocks of flats. The total value of the project is approximately EUR 80 million, and work is set to begin
this year. There is promising interest among investors in the project, and anchor tenants for the new shopping centre are already in place. The Tripla project in Central Pasila proceeded as planned during the review period with the signing of an implementation agreement, a preliminary agreement on the real estate transaction and a turnkey contract on the public sections.
In infra services, YIT started for example a EUR 42 million contract to upgrade Ring Road III between Lahdenväylä and Porvoonväylä. The development of self-developed wind power projects progressed according to plan. YIT also signed an agreement on the construction of the foundations for 30 wind mills for TuuliWatti Oy in Kalajoki and Siikainen in Finland.

January–March
After IFRS adjustments, the Group's revenue for the period decreased by 10% year-on-year. The decrease in revenue was due to lower handover of self-developed apartments to buyers in Finland, the lower volume of the Business Premises and Infrastructure segment, and the weaker Russian ruble.
After IFRS adjustments, the Group's operating profit for the period declined by 25% year-on-year. The decreased volume also negatively affected profitability, and after IFRS adjustments, the Group's operating profit margin was 5.8% (1-3/13: 7.0%). In group reporting,
self-developed residential projects are only recognised as income upon project handover. The timing of completion of self-developed 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 capitalized according to IAS 23 standard, which causes differences in operating profit and financial expenses between segment reporting and group reporting.

YIT's liquidity position remained strong in January– March. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 79.7 million at the end of March. In addition, YIT had undrawn committed credit facilities amounting to EUR 330.0 million and undrawn overdraft facilities amounting to EUR 64.9 million. In January, the company withdrew a long-term loan of RUB 1.6 billion (approximately EUR 35.3 million). In addition, a new loan agreement was signed in January, for which the total unwithdrawn amount stood at approximately EUR 30 million at the end of March. YIT Corporation's bank loan and credit facility agreements include a covenant requiring an equity ratio higher than 25% based on the IFRS balance sheet.
The total amount of interest-bearing debt rose to EUR 920.0 million at the end of March. Negative cash flow after plot investments and dividend payout contributed to the increase in debt. The maturity distribution of longterm loans is balanced, and a total of EUR 76.9 million of long-term loans will mature during the remainder of 2014. Net interest-bearing debt amounted to EUR 840.3
million at the end of March, and the gearing ratio was 132.1%.
Net financial expenses increased in January–March year-on-year and amounted to EUR 4.4 million including capitalization of interest expenses in accordance with IAS 23 at the amount of EUR 4.2 million (1-3/2013: EUR 4.6 million).
The interest on the participations in the housing corporation loans is included in housing corporation charges and is thus booked in project expenses. Interest on the participations amounted to EUR 0.6 million in the review period (1-3/2013: EUR 1.6 million).
The hedged ruble exposure decreased from the end of December 2013. At the end of March, EUR 121.3 million of the capital invested in Russia was comprised of debt investments (12/13: EUR 139.4 million) and EUR 394.2 million was equity investments or similar permanent net investments (12/13: EUR 407.7 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 cost effect of YIT's share-based incentive scheme was approximately EUR 0.2 million (1-3/213: EUR 1.3 million). In March, the Board of Directors decided to launch a new share-based incentive scheme
Strategic objectives
As confirmed on June 3, 2013, YIT's strategy is wellmanaged, profitable growth. This is pursued through the Group's self-developed projects in all businesses and all current geographical regions. Growth is sought particularly in emerging markets and residential construction. Further focus areas include improving the company's ability to manage cyclicality, widening financial operating space and accelerating renewal. On February 5, 2014, YIT Corporation's Board of
for key persons, comprising three earnings periods. The earnings periods of the incentive scheme are the years 2014, 2015 and 2016. Any bonus will be determined on the basis of the indicators decided annually by the Board of Directors for each earnings period. The scheme will annually cover approximately 200 key employees from YIT's countries of operation. Cash flow and return on investment are the key criteria for management remuneration in 2014.
Directors confirmed YIT's financial targets, revised in terms of the growth target, for the strategy period of 2014–2016. The motivation for the change stemmed from the current market environment, and the main objective is to ensure that the targets for cash flow and return on investment are achieved. According to the revised growth target, YIT aims at revenue growth of 5– 10% annually on average. The other financial targets published on June 4, 2013, remain unchanged.
| YIT's financial targets | Target level |
|---|---|
| Revenue growth | 5–10% annually on average |
| Return on investment | 20% |
| Operating cash flow after investments | Sufficient for dividend payout and reduction of debt |
| Equity ratio | 40% |
| Dividend payout | 40–60% of net profit for the period |
The target levels are based on segment reporting. A stock exchange release on the updated growth target was released on February 6, 2014. YIT's strategy and long-term financial targets were also described in
more detail at YIT's Capital Markets Day on September 19, 2013, in Moscow, Russia. The presentation materials and recordings from the Capital Markets Day are available at www.yitgroup.com/Investors.

Trading on shares
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 March 31, 2014, was EUR 7.73. YIT's share price decreased by approximately 24% during the period under review. 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 8.88. Share turnover on Nasdaq OMX Helsinki during the review period was EUR 41.0 million shares. The value of the share turnover was EUR 357.2 million.
In addition to the Helsinki Stock Exchange, YIT shares are also traded in other marketplaces, such as Chi-X, BATS and Turquoise. The share of trade volume in alternative marketplaces increased clearly compared to the previous year during the review period. During the review period, 28.0 million YIT Corporation shares changed hands in alternative market places, corresponding to approximately 41% of the total share trade, source: Fidessa Fragmentation Index.
YIT Corporation's market capitalization on the last trading day of the review period on March 31, 2014, was EUR 970.8 million. The market capitalisation has been calculated excluding the shares held by the company.
Number of shareholders and flagging notifications
At the end of March 2014, the number of registered shareholders was 45,294 (3/13: 37,723). At the end of March, a total of 31.0% of the shares were owned by nominee-registered and non-Finnish investors (3/13: 35.8%).
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. However, following the partial demerger, the geographical diversification has decreased. 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.
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 68% of the revenue during the review period was derived from euro countries. The Russian ruble is one of the Group's key currencies, and its significance has increased following the demerger. The Group's most significant currency risk is related to rubledenominated investments. Capital invested in Russia totalled EUR 515.6 million at the end of the review period (3/13: EUR 600.4 million). The amount of equity or equivalent net investments at the end of the period came to EUR 394.2 million (3/13: EUR 475.0 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 121.3 million at the end of the review period (3/13: EUR 125.4 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 potential 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
YIT's residential sales in Finland, the Baltic countries and Central Eastern Europe have been at a normal level in April. In Russia, activity in the housing market has slowed down slightly compared to the first quarter.
Outlook for 2014
Guidance for 2014
The Group revenue based on segment reporting is estimated to grow by 0–10% at comparable exchange rates. The operating profit margin based on segment reporting is estimated to be in the range of 7.5–8.5% excluding non-recurring items.
Continuing uncertainty over the general macroeconomic development impacts YIT's business operations and customers. Prolongation and potential 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.
According to RT's (Confederation of Finnish Construction Industries) April 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's goal is to strengthen its position as the leading housing developer in Finland.
YIT estimates that housing prices in Finland will remain stable in 2014. The increase in construction costs is expected to be moderate in 2014. The interest rates of mortgages are forecasted to remain low, and slight improvement in consumers' access to financing is expected. However, the macroeconomic uncertainty and the consumer confidence under the long-term average will 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
After the review period, YIT signed an agreement on selling the Bisnespaja Avia business premises in Aviapolis, Vantaa, Finland, to the non-UCITS Fund OP-Vuokratuotto.
creates a need for new high-quality apartments. The volume of residential construction is estimated to grow in the Baltic countries (VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, December 2013). Euroconstruct estimated in November 2013 that residential start-ups will decline slightly in the Czech Republic and Slovakia in 2014. In the Baltic countries and Central Eastern Europe, residential prices are expected to increase slightly.
The volume of housing construction is estimated to continue growing in Russia in 2014, but the growth is expected to slow down somewhat from the level in the previous years (VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, December 2013). YIT expects residential prices in Russia to remain stable in 2014. Residential demand has been supported by low unemployment rates and favourable development in the mortgage market. Moreover, the increase in the interest rates on mortgages has levelled off in recent times. Forecasts of economic growth in Russia have been lowered recently and the Russian ruble has weakened significantly against the euro. Prolongation and potential 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 household-dwelling units 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 business premises market is expected to continue to be weak in Finland in 2014. Real estate investors are still cautious due to the general economic situation and, in order to control risks, the Helsinki metropolitan area and good tenants are appreciated. The low level of long-term interest rates increases investors' interest in high-yield properties. Vacancy rates for offices are still high, with vacant building stock also including relatively old office premises in poor condition. YIT believes that the demand will focus on modern and energy-efficient offices. Commercial construction is maintained by investments in retail trade and the expansion of foreign retail chains in the Finnish market. Vacancy rates for commercial premises are rather low.
In the Baltic countries, business premises construction is estimated to increase by 5% in 2014 (VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, December 2013). In Slovakia, business premises construction is expected to decrease by 8% in 2014 (Euroconstruct, November 2013).
Infrastructure construction is estimated to decrease slightly in comparison with 2013 (Euroconstruct, November 2013). The competition is tight, especially for smaller contracts.

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.
