Interim Report January 1 – March 31, 2016: Positive development in Finland and CEE, Q1 results burdened by Russia

Unless otherwise noted, the figures in brackets refer to the corresponding period in the previous year.

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. Adjusted operating profit is disclosed to improve comparability between reporting periods.

January-March 2016 (Segment reporting, POC)

  • Revenue decreased by 3% to EUR 362.4 (374.9) million. At comparable exchange rates, revenue decreased by 1%.
  • Operating profit amounted to EUR 12.1 (20.5) million and operating profit margin was 3.3% (5.5%).
  • Order backlog increased by 3% from the end of December, amounting to EUR 2,246.8 million.
  • Operating cash flow after investments amounted to EUR -25.0 (15.1) million.

Guidance for 2016 unchanged (segment reporting, POC)

The Group revenue growth is estimated to be in the range of 0–10% 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 or impairment.

Kari Kauniskangas, President and CEO:

In January-March, the results were modest as we expected, but the quarter also saw a lot of positive development.

In the Business Premises and Infrastructure segment, the increase in the order backlog achieved last year started to bear fruit. The segment's revenue grew by 22%, and the operating profit margin improved by 1.5 percentage points year-on-year. The Tripla project's investor negotiations, renting and construction proceeded, and over EUR 500 million is expected to be added to the order backlog from the project during the second quarter of 2016.

The outlook for the Housing Finland and CEE segment is also positive. The residential demand has stayed on a good level in the CEE countries, but now we have also seen the first signs of a pick-up in consumer demand in Finland. We started clearly more new consumer projects than in the comparison period in Finland, and the good demand for the new projects was promising. We increased start-ups also in the CEE

countries, and took a significant step in Poland by acquiring our first plot in Warsaw. Our aim is to start the construction and the sales of the first residential project in Poland already during the second quarter of the year.

In the Housing Russia segment, we succeeded well in sales, but operating result turned negative due to lower revenue and changes in the pricing of certain projects. We still target to have positive operating profit for the full year, and to decrease our operative invested capital in Russia.

Our cash flow in the first quarter was negative for the first time after six positive quarters. Plot investments were high during the review period, and the Tripla project's groundworks burdened our balance sheet. However, our goal is to close the investor deal regarding the Tripla project's mall and parking facility already during the second quarter, after which the project will tie YIT's capital only for the minority ownership's part. Our efforts to improve capital efficiency will continue in all of our business segments.

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.

January-March

The Group's revenue decreased by 3% year-on-year. At comparable exchange rates, revenue decreased by 1%. In Housing Russia, revenue was burdened by yearon-year lower apartment sales and construction volume as well as the weakening of the ruble. In Housing Finland and CEE, revenue was weighed down by lower

completion rate of sold apartments in Finland than in the comparison period. The Business Premises and Infrastructure segment's revenue grew thanks to the progress of the significant projects that were secured last year.

January-March

The Group's operating profit declined by 41% yearon-year. Operating profit margin was 3.3% (1–3/15: 5.5%). Profitability was weighed down especially by the Housing Russia segment's negative operating result. Business Premises and Infrastructure segment's profitability improved due to the increased

volume and the improved margin content of the order backlog.

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

The order backlog increased by 3% from the end on December. At the end of March, 48% of the order backlog had been sold (12/15: 49%). The Tripla project and the Tampere light rail project were not yet included in the order backlog at the end of March. Over EUR 500 million is expected to be added to the order backlog from the Tripla project during the second quarter of

  1. The Tampere light rail project worth around EUR 100 million is estimated to be recorded in the order backlog during the second half of 2016.

Changes in foreign exchange rates increased the order backlog by EUR 27.5 million from the end of December.

YIT did not make any business acquisitions in January-March. Gross capital expenditure on noncurrent assets amounted to EUR 2.9 million, or 0.8% of revenue. Investments in construction equipment amounted to EUR 2.0 million (1–3/15: EUR 0.3 million)

and investments in information technology totalled EUR 0.8 million (1–3/15: EUR 1.2 million). Other investments including acquisitions amounted to EUR 0.2 million (1–3/15: EUR 1.0 million).

Operating cash flow after investments in January-March was EUR -25.0 million (1–3/15: EUR 15.1 million). Cash flow of plot investments was EUR -52.9 million (1–3/15: EUR -38.4 million) including EUR 13.2 million Pasila railway station, among others.

Invested capital remained on the level of the end of December. Return on investment weakened from the end of December due to the decrease in operating profit.

One of YIT's key focus areas is to improve capital efficiency. In January-March, capital was released by measures including selling completed apartments to investors and agreeing on the sale of slow-moving assets worth around EUR 4 million. Over 80% of the ongoing EUR 380 million capital release program had been carried out by the end of March, in addition to which slow-moving assets were reduced by an impairment of EUR 9 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. The aim is to complete the program in 2016.

Development by business segment

Housing Finland and CEE

Operating environment

Consumer confidence picked up in January-March 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 continued in the CEE countries. 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.

January-March

The segment's revenue decreased by 10% year-onyear due to lower completion rate of sold apartments in Finland.

The segment's operating profit decreased by 9% year-on-year, but the operating profit margin remained stable at 7.7% (1–3/15: 7.7%).

In January-March, YIT started clearly more new consumer projects in Finland compared to previous quarters, and consumer sales increased by 16% yearon-year. There was good demand especially for the recently started projects. YIT signed agreements on the construction of four residential projects to residential

funds, in addition to which the company sold 36 completed apartments to residential funds.

In the CEE countries, consumer sales increased by 5%, but total sales decreased year-on-year, as in March 2015 YIT sold an apartment building of 83 apartments to a private co-operative in Prague, the Czech Republic. New projects were started for example in Prague and in Bratislava. YIT also acquired a plot in Warsaw for its first residential project in Poland. The first phase of the project is estimated to be started during the second quarter of the year.

Housing Russia

Operating environment

The uncertainty of Russian economy continued to be reflected in the residential market. Demand focused especially on small apartments. Residential prices remained stable on average in nominal terms, but decreased in real terms.

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

January-March

The segment's revenue decreased by 31% year-onyear. At comparable exchange rates, revenue decreased by 20%. The revenue was weighed down by the year-on-year lower construction volume and residential sales as well as the weakening of the ruble. The number of sold apartments was exceptionally high in the comparison period.

The operating result turned negative and the operating profit margin was -6.3% (1–3/15: 8.7%). Profitability was weighed down by year-on-year lower revenue and changes in pricing in certain projects, among other things. Weakening of the ruble had a positive impact of EUR 0.3 million on operating profit. YIT targets to reduce the operative invested capital in Russia by continuing active sales. In addition, the company targets to achieve a positive operating result in Russia for the full year.

In January-March, YIT started projects in Yekaterinburg and Moscow region, among others. The aim of the start-ups is to maintain the critical operating volume in the cities. In the project started in Noginsk city, a modern prefabricated house has been taken into production for the first time. The new product is expected to have a positive impact on profitability.

The share of residential deals financed with mortgages was 54% (1–3/15: 34%). At the end of March, YIT was responsible for the service and maintenance of nearly 23,000 apartments in Russia.

In autumn 2015, YIT announced to revise the Housing Russia segment's 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). The number of apartments under construction is reported with the new division structure.

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.

January-March

The segment's revenue increased by 22% year-onyear. Revenue increased both in business premises and infra services.

Operating profit increased by 96% and operating profit margin stood at 4.0% (1–3/15: 2.5%). The improvement in profitability is explained by higher revenue and the improved margin content of the order backlog, among other things.

In January-March, YIT started new self-developed business premises projects and won both business premises and infrastructure contracts. In Helsinki city centre, in Kasarmikatu, YIT started a significant office project and in Helsinki's Kalasatama district YIT started the construction of the extension of a business park for Lindström Invest. In addition, YIT won the Nummi service centre life cycle project in Hämeenlinna, Finland, among others.

In March, YIT signed the purchase agreement on the Central Pasila Tripla project plots with the City of

Helsinki and Senate Properties. In addition to the plots, YIT bought the old Pasila railway station from Senate Properties. At the end of March, already approximately one third of the Mall of Tripla business premises were rented out. The construction and the financing negotiations of the project proceeded, and the aim is to close the investor deal of the mall and the parking facility during the second quarter.

YIT's reporting structure was changed from the beginning of 2016. YIT's equipment business is from now on 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. The restated figures for 2015 are presented in the interim report's tables section, chapter 4.

January-March

The Group's IFRS revenue decreased by 14% yearon-year. At comparable exchange rates, revenue decreased by 13%. In the housing segments, revenue decreased due to lower completions, and in the Business Premises and Infrastructure segment, revenue increased thanks to the progress of the significant projects that were secured during the previous year.

IFRS operating profit decreased by 75% year-onyear, and the Group's operating profit margin was 2.0% (1–3/15: 6.9%). Profitability was burdened by weakened projects margins and low apartment completions in Russia, among other things.

In group reporting, self-developed residential projects are recognised as income upon project handover. In Russia, revenue recognition of a project requires commissioning by the authorities. 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.

The total amount of interest-bearing debt was EUR 676.9 million at the end of March and net interestbearing debt increased slightly to EUR 554.5 million. A total of EUR 127.6 million of long-term loans will mature during the remainder of 2016.

Net financial expenses increased year-on-year and amounted to EUR 7.8 million (1–3/15: EUR 4.7 million). Interest expenses at the amount of EUR 5.0 million (1–3/15: EUR 5.5 million) were capitalized in accordance with IAS 23. Financial expenses of the review period 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 0.7 million in January-March (1–3/15: EUR 0.8 million).

At the end of March, EUR 114.9 million of the capital invested in Russia was debt investments (12/15: EUR 98.6 million) and EUR 225.9 million was equity investments or similar permanent net investments (12/15: EUR 219.0 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.

Strategic objectives

YIT published its updated strategic focus areas on September 16, 2015. Reaching the targeted net debt level ahead of schedule has allowed a gradual shift of focus back to profitability and investing in growth initiatives. As one of the growth initiatives, YIT established a new unit in Warsaw to tap into the opportunities in Poland. Work to improve capital efficiency continues enabling in its part financing of the growth.

The Board of Directors also decided to revise YIT's long-term return on investment (ROI) target to 15% from the earlier 20% due to lower weight of Russia in invested capital and future capital allocation. Other longterm financial targets remained unchanged. Separate short-term targets were abandoned after reaching the net debt target.

YIT's strategy and financial targets were described at YIT's Capital Markets Day on September 24, 2015, in Helsinki, Finland. The presentation materials and recordings from the Capital Markets Day are available at www.yitgroup.com/investors.

Long-term financial targets Target level
Revenue growth 5–10% annually on average
Return on investment 15%
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 method (POC).

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.

One of YIT's strategic focus areas is improving capital efficiency, and targets pertaining to the release of capital have been set accordingly. 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 April, residential sales for consumer are estimated to be around 130 units (4/15: around 140) in Finland,

Outlook for 2016

Guidance unchanged (segment reporting, POC)

The Group revenue growth is estimated to be in the range of 0–10% 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 or impairment.

In addition to the market outlook, the 2016 guidance is based on the following factors: At the end of March, 48% of YIT's order backlog was sold. Projects already sold and signed pre-agreements are estimated to contribute over half of Q2-Q4/2016 revenue, assuming that large projects such as Tripla progress as planned. The rest of the revenue estimate is based on estimated new sales during 2016 and capital release actions.

In Business Premises and Infrastructure, the growing volume and the improved margin content of the order backlog are estimated to support the segment's adjusted operating profit. 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.

around 80 units (4/15: around 70) in the CEE countries and over 250 units (4/15: around 250) in Russia.

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.

Russia

The visibility is weak in Russia 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.

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. YIT's equipment business is from now on 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. The restated figures for 2015 are presented in the interim report's tables section, chapter 4.

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.

The fair values of bonds are based on the market price at the closing date. The fair values of other non-current loans are based on discounted cash flows. Discount rate is defined to be the rate YIT Group was to pay for equivalent external loans at the closing date. It consists of risk free market rate and company and maturity related risk premium 2.81–5.39% (2.45- 4.94% on December 31, 2015) p.a.

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.

4 Comparable figures for year 2015

YIT's reporting structure was changed from the beginning of 2016. YIT's equipment business is from now on 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. The restated figures for 2015 are presented in the interim report's tables section, chapter 4. The restated figures for year 2015 are presented below.
