Guidance for 2016 unchanged (segment reporting, POC)

The Group revenue growth is estimated to be in the range of 5–10% at comparable exchange rates.

The adjusted operating profit² is estimated to grow from the level of 2015 (2015: EUR 76.0 million).

The adjusted operating profit does not include material reorganisation costs, impairment or other items impacting comparability.

¹In segment reporting, the revenue and profit are recognised by multiplying the percentage of completion by the percentage of sale, i.e. according to the percentage of completion method, which does not fully comply with the Group’s IFRS accounting principles. According to the Group’s IFRS accounting principles, revenue from residential projects for consumers is recognised upon completion. Furthermore, in Group reporting, part of the interest expenses are capitalised according to the IAS 23 standard, which causes differences in operating profit and financial expenses between segment reporting and Group reporting.

² Due to the new guidelines from the European Securities and Market Authority concerning alternative performance measures, the performance measure “operating profit excluding non-recurring items” is replaced with “adjusted operating profit”. The content of adjustments equals items previously disclosed as non-recurring items and consist of material reorganization costs and impairment, among others. Adjusted operating profit is disclosed to improve comparability between reporting periods.

Kari Kauniskangas, President and CEO:

img-1.jpeg

In September, we published the company's renewed strategy for the next three-year period. The engine for YIT's growth and profitability is urban development involving partners. Our order backlog in Finland and the CEE countries is strong, which provides a solid foundation for growth over the next three-year period. Shifting the focus towards growth is made possible thanks to a decrease in net debt during the strategy period and more capital-efficient business models.

In connection with our Capital Markets Day, we stated that the capital release programme established for the previous strategy period is coming to a close according to our objectives. In this review period, completion of the capital release program can be seen in key ratios and profitability development. However, we will continue to improve capital turnover as part of our normal business operations. According to our strategy, we aim to

strengthen growth by releasing capital from Russia and investing it in urban development in Finland and the CEE countries.

In July–September, we saw the positive trend continue, with our revenue growing 13 percent year-on-year. I am especially happy that the third quarter showed favorable in the Housing Russia segment; the adjusted operating profit in the segment was positive for the first time in 2016. Our aim is to achieve positive adjusted operating profit in the second half of the year in Russia. The goal is to continue operations in all our current operating areas in Russia, but to reduce the amount of capital invested in Russia by a total of 6 billion roubles (around 80 million euros) by the end of 2018.

Revenue in the Housing Finland and CEE segment remained stable during the third quarter, with profitability improving year-on-year. Our goal in the segment is to further improve profitability by increasing consumer sales and the offering of reasonably priced apartments in growth centres. We were able to start several Smartti projects in Finland, and also started YIT Slovakia's largest area project in Bratislava.

Revenue in the Business Premises and Infrastructure segment grew in July–September by 24% year-on-year. Our goal is to improve profitability by increasing the number of projects with a long value chain in both in self-developed and tender-based business. A good example of this is Tripla, for which leasing has progressed more quickly than we had expected. During the review period, we won new significant projects that were signed after the reporting period. For example, YIT was chosen to construct Metropolia's Myllypuro campus project in Helsinki.

Accounting principles applied in the interim report

YIT reports on its operations in accordance with IFRS guidelines, where the company applies, for example, the IFRIC 15 guidelines. In group reporting, self-developed residential projects are recognised as income upon project handover. The timing of completion of self-developed projects thus affects the Group's revenue recognition, and therefore group figures may fluctuate greatly between different quarters. In addition, in group reporting part of the interest expenses are capitalised according to IAS 23 and reported as project costs above the operating profit when the project is completed. This causes differences in operating result and financial expenses between segment reporting and group reporting..

YIT Corporation's management follows the development of the company's business according to the percentage of completion based segment reporting (POC). Therefore, the company's performance is described in the explanatory statement of the interim report also according to segment reporting. The effects of the differences of the recognition principles are presented in detail in the tables to the interim report.

At the end of September, YIT's liquidity position was strong. Cash and cash equivalents amounted to EUR 66.8 million, in addition to which YIT had undrawn overdraft facilities amounting to EUR 63.4 million. At the end of September, YIT had also an undrawn, EUR 300.0 million revolving credit facility maturing in 2018.

YIT's revolving credit facility, the bonds issued in 2015 and 2016 and bank loans include a covenant requiring the Group's equity ratio based on the IFRS balance sheet to be higher than 25.0%. In addition, the revolving credit facility and two bank loans include a covenant requiring the Group's gearing ratio based on the IFRS balance sheet to be below 150.0%.

At the end of September, the equity ratio was 30.1% and the gearing ratio was 118.9%. The deterioration of the key ratios resulted partly from a booking of an interest-bearing plot acquisition payable of EUR 33.5 million related to Tripla project's parking spaces which will be built for a third party. An interest-bearing receivable of the same amount was booked in the balance sheet related to the obligation to redeem the parking spaces in question. The booked interest-bearing receivable is not included in the net debt.

At the end of September, the total amount of interest-bearing debt was EUR 678.1 million and net interest-bearing debt was EUR 611.4 million. A total of EUR 11.7 million of long-term loans will mature during the remainder of 2016.

Net financial expenses increased year-on-year and amounted to EUR 16.6 million (1–9/15: EUR 13.3 million). Interest expenses at the amount of EUR 15.1 million (1–9/15: EUR 14.8 million) were capitalized in accordance with IAS 23. During the year, financial expenses were increased by unrealised losses on interest rate derivatives.

The interests on participations in housing corporation loans are included in housing corporation charges and are thus booked in project expenses. Interests on the participations amounted to EUR 1.8 million in January–September (1–9/15: EUR 2.4 million).

At the end of September, EUR 94.6 million of the capital invested in Russia was debt investments (6/16: EUR 101.7 million) and EUR 261.8 million was equity investments or similar permanent net investments (6/16: EUR 240.2 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.

January–September

The Group’s revenue based on segment reporting increased by 7% year-on-year. At comparable exchange rates, revenue increased by 10%.

Revenue grew especially in the Business Premises and Infrastructure segment thanks to the closing of the Mall of Tripla investor deals. In Housing Finland and CEE, revenue decreased due to less capital release actions in Finland and the sales mix shift from investor projects to consumer sales.

July–September

The Group's operating result based on segment reporting turned negative, and operating profit margin was -1.8% (7–9/15: 2.6%). The operating result includes adjustments of EUR -27.0 million related to revaluation of the book values of plots in the Housing Russia segment.

Adjusted operating profit decreased by 7% to EUR 19.0 million. Adjusted operating profit margin stood at 4.3% (7–9/15: 5.2%). The Housing Finland and CEE segment's profitability improvement is explained by less capital release actions and positive development in sales mix. Also, it was encouraging that in the Housing Russia segment adjusted profit margin was positive, although profitability decreased year-on-year due to changes in projects margins.

Changes in foreign exchange rates had negative impact of EUR 0.5 million on adjusted operating profit.

January–September

The Group's operating profit based on segment reporting decreased by 51% year-on-year. Operating profit margin was 1.9% (1–9/15: 4.1%). The operating profit includes adjustments of EUR -27.0 million related to revaluation of the book values of plots in the Housing Russia segment.

Adjusted operating profit decreased by 14% to EUR 51.2 million, and adjusted profit margin was 4.0% (1–9/15: 5.0%). Profitability was burdened by the negative operating result of Housing Russia. The Business Premises and Infrastructure segment's profitability improved clearly due to the increased volume and the improved margin content of the order backlog. Profitability development was positive also in the Housing Finland and CEE segment due to less capital release actions.

Changes in foreign exchange rates had positive impact of EUR 0.4 million on adjusted operating profit.

Invested capital increased by 3% from the end June. Return on investment decreased to 3.6% as operating profit decreased.

One of YIT's key focus areas is to improve capital efficiency. At Capital Markets Day held in September, YIT stated that its capital release program targeting EUR 380 million was nearly completed. In September, slow-moving assets, located in Russia and included in the

capital release program, were reduced by an impairment charge of EUR 18.0 million.

The external reporting of the progress of the capital release program was ended in September at YIT's Capital Markets Day. The improvement of the capital turnover will continue as a part of normal business.

Housing Finland and CEE

Operating environment

Consumer confidence picked up in January–September in Finland, which was also seen as an improvement in residential demand in the consumer segment. Investor demand remained on a good level. Demand focused especially on small, affordable apartments in growth centres.

Positive development of macroeconomy stabilised in the CEE countries, and consumer confidence remained on a good level. Residential prices stayed stable on average and demand on a good level.

Mortgage interest rates were on a low level in all operating countries and the availability of financing was good. In Finland, new drawdowns of mortgages increased year-on-year.

July–September

The segment's revenue remained close to last year's corresponding period as capital release actions decreased.

The segment's operating profit increased by 5% year-on-year, and operating profit marginal improved to 7.7% (7-9/2015: 7.4%). Profitability improvement was driven by reduction in capital release actions and favourable development in sales mix.

In July–September, YIT's consumer sales in Finland were on a good level. In the third quarter, YIT began to construct its first Smartti concept apartments in Lahti, Kuopio, Oulu and Tampere. In addition, start-ups included a residential project in Vantaa, consisting of almost 130 apartments.

In July–September, YIT signed agreements on the sale of 80 apartments to investors in Finland. Also, agreement was signed on the construction of 120 apartments to investors.

In the CEE countries, unit sales were on a modest level in July–September as start of sales in certain projects were postponed to last quarter of the year.

In September, YIT started a significant area project in Bratislava, Slovakia. The first phase will consist almost 110 apartments, valued approximately EUR 13 million.

January–September

The segment's revenue decreased by 7% year-on-year. The decline in revenue is explained by reduction in capital release actions in Finland and sales mix shifting to consumers from investors.

The segment's operating profit decreased by 3% year-on-year, but the operating operating profit marginal rose to 8.0% (1-9/15: 7.7%).

During the review period, YIT aimed at shifting its customer focus in Finnish housing from investors to consumers, in line with its strategy. Consumer start-ups were increased by 46% year-on-year and the unit sales to consumers grew by 6%. The Smartti concept aimed at increasing the supply of affordable and flexible apartments in Finland was launched to support the strategy implementation. During the review period, the construction of Smartti concept apartments was started in four cities.

The strategy execution progressed as planned also in the CEE countries. In January–September, the number of start-ups increased by 58% year-on-year.

Expansion to Poland proceeded with the first plot acquisition and the project start-up. In addition, new projects were started actively also in other operating countries.

Housing Russia

Operating environment

The uncertainty of Russian economy continued to be reflected in the residential market, although some stabilisation was seen towards the end of the review period. Demand focused especially on small apartments, consumers preferring projects with high completion rate.

Residential prices remained stable on average. Consumer confidence stayed at low levels and growth in real wages was weak.

The state mortgage subsidy program for new apartments runs until the end of 2016. The mortgage interest rates for new apartments were on a level of around 12%.

July–September

The segment's revenue increased by 19% year-on-year. At comparable exchange rates, revenue increased by 25% supported by good residential sales and high completion rate of sold apartments.

The operating result decreased year-on-year and the operating profit margin was -34.6% (7–9/15: -13.4%).

The operating result includes EUR 27.0 million cost related to the revaluation of book values of plots located in Russia. In September, YIT recognised a EUR 18.0 million impairment charge related to the plots located in Russia and decided at the same time that the primary method of divestment of these plots is to sell them. Additionally, YIT booked a cost of EUR 9.0 million to the book value of four plots located in Moscow region so that their value relates to the current dialog with the authorities related to the changed in regulatory requirements and conflicts in the investment requirements compared to the initial investment requirements.

The adjusted operating profit was EUR 0.7 million, and the adjusted operating profit margin was 0.9% (7–9/15: 2.7%). Profitability was weighed down by changes in project margins, among other things.

Weakening of the ruble had a negative impact of EUR 0.5 million on adjusted operating profit.

In the third quarter, YIT started projects in St. Petersburg, among others. In September, A BREEAM certificate assessing ecological efficiency was granted to Sovremennik building in Kazan. It is the first of its kind for YIT in Russia.

The share of residential deals financed with mortgages was 52% (7–9/15: 56%).

At the end of June, YIT was responsible for the service and maintenance of over 24,000 apartments in Russia.

January–September

The segment's revenue decreased 10% year-on-year. At comparable exchange rates, revenue increased by 3%.

The operating result turned negative and the operating profit margin was -17.5% (1–9/15: -0.1%). In September, YIT revaluated the segment's book values of assets. YIT recognised a EUR 18.0 million impairment charge related to the plots located in Russia and decided at the same time that the primary method of divestment of these plots is to sell them. Additionally, YIT booked a cost of EUR 9.0 million to the book value of four plots located in Moscow region so that their value relates to the current dialog with the authorities related to the changed in regulatory requirements and conflicts in the investment requirements compared to the initial investment requirements.

The adjusted operating result was EUR -5.1 million and adjusted operating profit margin was -2.8% (1–9/15: 5.0%). Profitability was weighed down by the lower year-on-year revenue and changes in project margins, among other things.

Weakening of the ruble had a positive impact of EUR 0.3 million on adjusted operating profit.

The share of residential deals financed with mortgages was 52% (1–9/15: 48%).

In autumn 2015, YIT announced to revise the Housing Russia segment's residential development division structure. From the beginning of 2016, the divisions are St. Petersburg, Moscow (City and region) and Russian regions (Kazan, Tyumen, Rostov-on-Don and Yekaterinburg).

Business Premises and Infrastructure

Operating environment

During the review period, investors' interest towards projects in prime locations was on a good level in the Finnish business premises market, but the competition over tenants remained intense. Investors' yield requirements and rental levels remained stable. The contracting market was active and several large projects were in the tendering phase. The volume of construction was increasing.

In the Baltic countries and Slovakia, rental levels for business premises and investors' yield requirements remained stable in the review period. The contracting market was most active in Slovakia and most quiet in Latvia.

The Finnish infrastructure market remained relatively stable in the review period.

July–September

The segment's revenue increased by 24% year-on-year. Revenue increase especially due to Mall of Tripla and E18 Hamina–Vaalimaa motorway projects.

Operating profit decreased 2%, and operating profit margin stood at 4.0% (7–9/2015: 5.1%).

In July, YIT signed a project management contract with the City of Helsinki regarding the construction of the Helsinki Central Library in Helsinki, Finland. The value of the project is approximately EUR 50 million and it will be completed in autumn 2018.

The construction of the large projects such as Mall of Tripla and E18 Hamina–Vaalimaa motorway proceeded as planned.

January–September

The revenue of the segment grew by 35% year-on-year. The revenues increased especially thanks to Mall of Tripla project.

Operating profit increased by 78% and operating profit margin stood at 4.7% (1–9/15: 3.5%). The improvement in profitability is explained by higher revenue and the improved margin content of the order backlog.

YIT's reporting structure was changed from the beginning of 2016. YIT's equipment business is reported as part of the Business Premises and Infrastructure segment instead of Other items. The reason behind the change is the integral role of the equipment as part of the segment's business, especially for special equipment in infrastructure construction.

During the reporting period, YIT strengthened its project development resources in-line with its strategy. In June, YIT announced to have established a joint venture with HGR property partners for new, large-scale real estate development projects in Helsinki region.

In January–September, the Group employed 5,387 people on average (1–9/15: 5,675). In Russia, the number of personnel in the residential construction business was adjusted clearly, but the number of the service business personnel was increased due to strong growth in the volume of the service business.

Personnel expenses amounted to EUR 174.9 million (1–9/15: EUR 176.8 million). The cost effect of YIT's share-based incentive scheme was approximately EUR 2.5 million (1–9/15: EUR 1.7 million). The Group's accident frequency (accidents per million hours worked) was on the level of 10 (1–9/15: 11).

During the review period, changes took place in YIT Corporation's management Board. In September, YIT corporation's Board of Directors nominated M.Sc. (Econ.) Esa Neuvonen as Group's new Chief Financial Officer and as the member of the management board, replacing Timo Lehtinen. Neuvonen will start in his new position by the end of the year. M.Sc. (Tech.), D.Sc. (Adm.) Juha Kostiainen was nominated as a member of Group Management Board as of October 1, 2016. He took the lead and responsibility of sustainable urban development operations.

Strategic objectives

The YIT Board of Directors approved the company's renewed strategy for the next three-year period on September 26, 2016. The engine for growth and profitability is urban development involving partners.

The capital release programme worth EUR 380 million established for the previous strategy period will be completed, and for some sub-areas, the objectives will be exceeded. The improvement of the capital turnover will continue as a part of normal business. Starting from the beginning of next year, it is not expected to have a significant impact on the profitability development. Capital will be released from Russia and invested in growth centres in Finland and the CEE countries.

Along with the renewed strategy, the company's Board of Directors confirmed also the financial targets and specified the cash flow target. Going forward, the cash flow target is operating cash flow after investment sufficient for paying dividends. Previously, the company has communicated that the target is to have sufficient operating cash flow after investment for paying dividends and reducing debt. However, the aim is not to increase the net debt level. The surplus of cashflow will be used to accelerate the growth. At the same time, the improvement of the key figures is expected to be realised primarily through improvement of the company's profitability and operative result. Other long-term targets remain unchanged.

YIT's strategy and financial targets were described at YIT's Capital Markets Day on September 29, 2016, in Bratislava, Slovakia. The presentation materials and recordings from the Capital Markets Day are available at www.yitgroup.com/Investors.

Most significant short-term business risks

The general economic development, functioning of the financial markets and the political environment in YIT's operating countries have a significant impact on the company's business. Negative development in consumers' purchasing power, consumer or business confidence, the availability of financing or interest rates would likely weaken the demand for YIT's products and services. A drop in residential prices or an increase in investors' yield requirements would pose a risk for the profitability of the company, should these factors materialise.

At the moment, there is significant uncertainty related to the economic development of Russia in particular. The volatility of the oil price and the ruble, geopolitical tensions and high inflation may further weaken the demand for apartments due to a weakening in purchasing power and consumer confidence. Declining purchasing power means there is also a risk that residential prices will decrease.

In 2015, Finland accounted for 73% of the company's revenue, which highlights the significance of Finland's economic development for YIT's business. If it persists, the weakness of the Finnish economy and the indebtedness of the public sector may further weaken consumers' purchasing power and general confidence, which would have a negative impact on the demand for apartments and business premises. A persistent increase of public sector debt could also make it more difficult to finance infrastructure investments. Investors have played an exceptionally central role in YIT's Finnish business in recent years. An increase in interest rates or weakening in tenant demand on the business premises or residential market could lead to a significant decrease in investor demand.

Ensuring competitive products and services corresponding to customer demand is critical for YIT's business. Changes in customer preferences and in the offerings of competitors present risks related to the demand for the company's products and services. In

Finland, the availability of the resources needed for growing the production volume might prevent increasing the production as planned. Competitors' need for resources also presents a risk of losing key personnel and expertise.

Most of the company's business is project business, meaning that successful project management plays an integral role in ensuring the company's profit. The most significant project management risks are related to factors such as pricing, planning, scheduling, cost management and, in the company's self-developed business, also the management of sales risk. YIT's major business premises and infrastructure projects in Finland, such as the Tripla project in Central Pasila and the E18 Hamina-Vaalimaa motorway, make up a significant share of the company's expected revenue in coming years, meaning that successful project management in the projects is integral.

Changes in legislation and authorities' permit processes may slow down the progress of projects or prevent them from being realised. There are uncertainty factors related to authorities' actions, permit processes and their efficiency particularly in Russia and the CEE countries.

The improvement of the capital turnover will continue as a part of normal business. Measures to release capital in a challenging market situation involve the risk of financial losses.

The most significant financial risks are the risks related to foreign exchange rate development and the availability of financing. The Group's most significant currency risk is related to ruble-denominated investments. Further information can be found in the Capital structure and liquidity position section. More information on financial risks and their management is provided in Note 30 to the financial statements.

More information on the company's risks and risk management is provided in the Annual Report 2015.

Events after the review period

In October, residential sales for consumers are estimated to be around 200 units (10/15: over 100) in Finland, around 100 units (10/15: around 80) in the CEE countries and over 300 units (10/15: around 200) in Russia.

October 10, 2016, the holding of JPMorgan Chase & Co and its funds in YIT had exceeded the threshold of 5 per cent.

October 18, 2016, the holding of JPMorgan Chase & Co and its funds in YIT had gone below the threshold of 5 per cent.

October 25, 2016 YIT signed a new EUR 200 million syndicated unsecured revolving credit facility with its core banks to refinance the syndicated EUR 300 million unsecured revolving credit facility maturing 2018. The committed credit facility matures on January 2, 2020 and has two financial covenants: equity ratio (IFRS) must be above 25.0% and gearing (IFRS) must be below 150.0%. The facility will be used as a reserve for general corporate purposes and the size of the new facility is regarded as sufficient for this purpose.

Outlook for 2016

Guidance unchanged (Segment reporting, POC)

The Group revenue growth is estimated to be in the range of 5–10% at comparable exchange rates.

The adjusted operating profit is estimated to grow from the level of 2015 (2015: EUR 76.0 million).

The adjusted operating profit does not include material reorganisation costs, impairment or other items impacting comparability.

In addition to the market outlook, the 2016 guidance is based on the following factors: At the end of September, 56% of YIT's order backlog was sold. Projects already sold and signed pre-agreements are estimated to contribute over 60% of revenue in the last quarter of the year. The rest of the revenue estimate is based on estimated new sales during 2016 and capital release actions.

In Business Premises and Infrastructure, the profit performance is expected to be on the level of the first half of 2016. The demanding market situation in Russia is expected to keep the profitability of Housing Russia on a low level. Similarly to the year 2015, the investor projects' share of revenue is estimated to remain high in Housing Finland and CEE, which will impact the segment's adjusted operating profit margin negatively. The execution of the capital release program started in autumn 2013 will continue actively in 2016, and the capital release actions are expected to have a negative effect on the adjusted operating profit margin.

Market outlook

Finland

In Finland, the macroeconomic uncertainty is estimated to affect the residential and business premises markets also in 2016.

Consumer demand is estimated to pick up slightly and the demand to focus especially on small, affordable apartments in growth centres. The investor activity is estimated remain on a good level but even more focus will be paid on the location. Residential price polarization is estimated to continue especially between growth centres and the rest of Finland. Access to mortgage financing is estimated to remain good.

In Finland, the tenants' demand for business premises is estimated to remain modest. The real estate investors' activity is expected to remain on a good level with focus on prime locations in the capital region. Business premises contracting is estimated to remain active. Political support for new infrastructure projects is estimated to revitalise the infrastructure market. High activity in the construction market has resulted in lack of resources.

Russia

The Russian economy is not expected to weaken further, but the visibility is weak and economic uncertainty is estimated to continue to have a negative impact also on the residential market. The construction cost inflation is expected to moderate. The nominal residential prices are estimated to remain stable. Demand is estimated to focus especially on small apartments.

21 | Interim Report January 1 – September 30, 2016


The CEE countries

In the CEE countries, the demand in the residential and business premises markets is expected to be supported by the improved economic situation. Residential prices are estimated to increase in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Lithuania, and to remain stable in Poland, Estonia and Latvia. The construction costs are estimated to increase slightly.

Access to mortgage financing is expected to remain good and interest rates to remain on a low level.

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.

YIT's reporting structure was changed from the beginning of 2016 in a way that the construction equipment business is reported as part of the Business Premises and Infrastructure segment instead of Other items. The reason behind the change is the integral role of the construction equipment as part of the segment's business, especially for special equipment in infrastructure construction. The restated figures for 2015 are presented in the Q1/2016 interim report's tables section's chapter 4.

3.4 Adjustments to operating profit

Due to the new guidelines from the European Securities and Market Authority concerning alternative performance measures, the performance measure "operating profit excluding non-recurring items" is replaced with "adjusted operating profit". The content of adjustments equals items previously disclosed as nonrecurring items and consist of material reorganization costs and impairment, among others. Adjusted operating profit is disclosed to improve comparability between reporting periods.

3.9 Financial risk management

The main financial risks include liquidity risk, credit risk and market risks, such as currency and interest rate risk, and their management is a part of the Group's treasury policy. The Board of Directors has approved the Corporate Treasury Policy. The Group Treasury is responsible for the practical implementation of the policy in association with the business units.

The Group's strategic financial targets guide the use and management of the Group's capital. Achieving the strategic targets is supported by maintaining an optimum Group capital structure. Capital structure is mainly influenced by controlling investments and the amount of working capital tied to business operations.

A more detailed account of financial risks has been published in the notes to the financial statements for the year 2015.

Fair value estimation

Group measures the fair value measurement hierarchy as follows:

Level 1: The fair values of financial instruments are based on quoted prices in active markets. A market can be considered active if quoted prices are regularly available and the prices represent the actual value of the instrument in liquid trading.

Level 2: Financial instruments are not traded in active and liquid markets. The value of a financial instrument can be determined based on market value and potentially partially derived value measurement. If, however, the factors affecting the fair value of the instrument are available and observable, the instrument belongs to level 2.

Level 3: The valuation of a financial instrument is not based on observable market data, and other factors affecting the fair value of the instrument are not available and observable. The following table presents the Group's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value and their levels.
