Additional information regarding the presentation of financial information is available at the end of the explanatory statement of the interim report.
Unless otherwise noted, the figures in brackets refer to the corresponding period in the previous year, are restated pro forma and of the same unit.

Guidance for 2019

The Group revenue of continuing operations for 2019 is estimated to be in the range of +6% and +2% compared to the 2018 combined revenue of continuing operations (pro forma, restated 2018: EUR 3,201.0 million). Previously the company estimated the revenue in 2019 to be in the range of +5% and -3% compared to 2018.

In 2019, the adjusted operating profit of continuing operations is estimated to be EUR 160-185 million (pro forma, restated 2018: EUR 132.0 million). Previously the company estimated the adjusted operating profit of continuing operations in 2019 to be EUR 160-200 million.

Guidance rationale

The result guidance for 2019 is based, for instance, on the estimated time of completion of residential projects under construction and the company's solid order backlog. At the end of September, 78% of the order backlog was sold.

Significant fluctuation is expected to take place between the quarters due to normal seasonal variation, closing of sales of business premises projects, the timing of completion of residential projects and the fair valuation of Mall of Tripla. As in 2018, the last quarter of the year is expected to be clearly the strongest. The company estimates that the adjusted operating profit for the fourth quarter of 2019 will increase from the comparison period (pro forma, restated 10-12/2018: EUR 99.3 million).

The IFRS 16 Leases standard was issued in January 2016 and the company started applying the standard on January 1, 2019. The new standard replaces the IAS 17 Leases standard and related interpretations. YIT adopted the new standard based on the modified method, thus the comparison period is not restated. The company has published a stock exchange release on April 18, 2019 regarding the adoption of the IFRS 16 standard describing the accounting policies among others. The impact of IFRS 16 adoption can be found in note 3.3 of this interim report.

Kari Kauniskangas, President and CEO:

In the third quarter, group revenue increased year-on-year, and adjusted operating profit decreased as anticipated. Mall of Tripla opened as scheduled on October 17, attracting more than a million visitors right after its first opening week.

In the Infrastructure projects segment, revenue and profitability growth continued. The segment's profitability was on a good level at approximately 4.5%. The segment's order backlog has grown over 50% from the beginning of the year. After the reporting period, YIT was selected by the City of Helsinki, Finland, as the main alliance partner for the Crown Bridges tramway project.

Our dedicated work to improve customer experience and the consumers' trust in our brand were visible in the Housing Finland and CEE segment's sales figures. In Finland, sales to consumers grew 46% quarter-on-quarter and 22% year-on-year. The segment's adjusted operating profit decreased year-on-year, in line with our expectations, due to the clearly lower number of completions in Finland. The segment's consumer start-ups have been

increased supported by good demand and high pre-booking rates. Sales to institutional investors continued to be good as well. At the end of the period, YIT agreed on the construction of rental housing projects worth approximately EUR 112 million for a company jointly established with Ålandsbanken.

In the Business premises segment, revenue increased year-on-year, but operating profit decreased year-onyear and was negative in the third quarter. The operating profit was impacted by project cost increases in the completion phase of Mall of Tripla and two other large projects. With regard to Mall of Tripla, after four years of construction we are proud to have successfully completed the largest shopping mall in the Nordic countries in time for its planned grand opening on October 17, 2019. The start of the operations has been a success: the one-million-visitor milestone was reached right after the first week of operation. The Tripla project is the biggest project in YIT's history, and as a whole it is uniquely profitable for us. The project will exceed the initial profit target even though costs in the third quarter were higher than anticipated. In the fourth quarter, the Partnership properties segment will recognise a significant positive effect in operating profit of fair valuation of the Mall of Tripla. After the reporting period, the company has won for instance the public private partnership bidding for the City of Espoo, Finland, on three day care centres and five large schools with 20 years maintenance, total contract value of approximately EUR 240 million.

The profitability of the Housing Russia segment improved due to a bigger number of project completions than last year, higher project margins and synergy savings visible in the segment's cost structure. Another factor contributing to the improved profitability of the segment was this summer's decision to focus business operations in profitable units and to discontinue operations in unprofitable or capital-intensive regions.

In September, we published our updated strategy and presented it in closer detail at our Capital Markets Day at the end of the month. We have taken decisive steps in implementing our strategy in the past year and we will achieve our targeted financial stability after the planned sale of the Scandinavian paving and mineral aggregates businesses has been completed in 2020. Now we are concentrating our efforts on improving profitability as well as developing and growing the non-cyclical Partnership properties and services businesses. In Partnership properties, we strive to extend our role in the value chain towards managing real estate assets, property management and life-cycle responsibility. In services, we target to be a holistic service provider, which means that also for instance rental apartments will be a larger part of our offering. Additionally, we will step up sustainability as we aim to considerably reduce our CO2 emissions in the years to come.

Our outlook is positive. YIT's order backlog is strong, and after the completion of Mall of Tripla, fair valuation of the investment will be done during the last quarter. We estimate that the adjusted operating profit of the company's continuing operations will increase from the comparison period also in the last quarter of the year.

Events after the review period

Fair valuation of the Mall of Tripla investment

The Mall of Tripla shopping mall was opened in Pasila, Helsinki, Finland, on October 17, 2019. In the last quarter of the year, the Partnership properties segment will recognise a significant positive effect in operating profit of fair valuation of the investment in the company Mall of Tripla Ky. YIT's share of ownership in Mall of Tripla Ky is 38.75%.

The Tripla urban centre includes the Mall of Tripla, the largest shopping mall in the Nordic countries measured by number of shops, one of the largest hotels in Finland, 50,000 square metres of office space, the new Pasila railway station and more than 400 apartments. The project is estimated to be completed during the year 2020.

Large projects added into the order backlog

After the reporting period, a project company formed by YIT Corporation and Meridiam Investments II was selected by the City of Espoo, Finland, for the public private partnership project including financing, design, construction and maintenance for 20 years of three day care centres and five large schools to be built over the next five years. The total worth of the project is approximately EUR 240 million.

Additionally, YIT was selected by the City of Helsinki, Finland, as the main alliance partner for the Crown Bridges tramway project. The Crown Bridges will connect the Laajasalo, Korkeasaari and Kalasatama districts of Helsinki to the city centre with a 10-kilometre tramway.

July–September

The Group's revenue grew 10% year-on-year and amounted to EUR 807.5 million (734.4). The Infrastructure projects segment's revenue increased due to higher year-on-year volumes, and the Business premises segment's revenue increased year-on-year mainly due to the fact that revenue from Tripla offices is now recognised according to percentage of completion. In Housing Finland and CEE, revenue was approximately on the level of the comparison period. Revenue decreased year-on-year in the Housing Russia segment due to reduced volumes in the contracting business.

YIT has announced to exit the paving business in Russia either by closing down or by selling the operations by the end of 2019 and it is reported under "Other items". Also the comparison period has been restated accordingly.

At comparable exchange rates, reported revenue was EUR 806.3 million.

January–September

The Group's revenue increased 8% year-on-year amounting to EUR 2,239.1 million (2,073.2). Revenue increased mainly due to higher year-on-year revenue in the Business premises and Infrastructure projects segments. The Business premises segment's revenue increased mainly due to renovation and the start of Tripla offices' revenue recognition according to percentage of completion after the sale of the offices in December 2018. In Infrastructure projects, revenue increased due to higher volumes year-on-year. In the Housing Finland and CEE segment, revenue decreased slightly from the comparison period due to a lower number of completions in Finland and in the CEE countries. In the Housing Russia segment, revenue decreased due to reduced volumes in the contracting business.

At comparable exchange rates, reported revenue was EUR 2,241.7 million.

July–September

The Group's adjusted operating profit was EUR 25.7 million (31.4), and adjusted operating profit margin was 3.2% (4.3).

The year-on-year decrease in adjusted operating profit was mainly due to lower profitability in the Business premises and Housing Finland and CEE segments. In Business premises, the year-on-year decrease in adjusted operating profit was above all due to increased costs caused by the completion phase of the Mall of Tripla in Pasila, Helsinki, Finland, as well as by two other large projects. In the Housing Finland and CEE segment, adjusted operating profit decreased yearon-year due to a lower number of completions in Finland.

In Infrastructure projects, adjusted operating profit increased due to the improved margin quality of new

contracts in the order backlog. In the Housing Russia segment, adjusted operating profit improved clearly year-on-year, supported by improved project margins. From the second quarter on, operating profit or loss from the businesses to be closed down or sold in Russia has been recorded in adjusting items and is not presented in adjusted operating profit.

In the Partnership properties segment, the main reason for improved adjusted operating profit was the business model based fair value change of a loan receivable of an investment.

Reported adjusted operating profit at comparable exchange rates was EUR 26.0 million.

Operating profit was EUR 18.4 million (27.3), and the operating profit margin was 2.3% (3.7). The operating profit includes adjusting items of EUR 7.3 million (4.0) related to merger related fair value cost effects (see note

4.2 for additional information) as well as integration costs. Operating loss from the businesses to be closed down or sold in Russia is also reported under adjusting items.

January–September

The Group's adjusted operating profit was EUR 44.5 million (32.7), and adjusted operating profit margin was 2.0% (1.6). The Infrastructure projects and Housing Russia segments' adjusted operating profit increased year-on-year due to better margin levels and improvement actions taken. From the second quarter on, operating profit or loss from the businesses to be closed down in Russia has been recorded in adjusting items and is not presented in adjusted operating profit. In the Partnership properties segment, the main reason for the segment's improved adjusted operating profit was the business model based fair value change of a loan receivable of an investment.

The Housing Finland and CEE segment's adjusted operating profit decreased year-on-year due to a lower

Synergies and integration costs

The merger of YIT and Lemminkäinen is expected to create significant value for the shareholders of the merged company. When planning the merger, the total synergies were estimated to be approximately EUR 40 million annually, and they were expected to materialise in full by the end of 2020. Once the companies had merged, the sources of the synergies and the plans made could be verified and detailed further.

The savings are mainly attributable to a decrease in fixed expenses shown mainly across the segments. The biggest individual sources of synergies include eliminating overlaps in the combined company, shared and more efficient business premises and lower IT expenses. In addition, for example increasing the efficiency of operating methods and their harmonisation, lower financing costs, adoption of best practices, economies of scale in procurement and more efficient plot turnover rate create synergy benefits.

Total synergy benefit measures done and decided by the end of September amounted to approximately EUR

number of completions both in Finland and in the CEE countries. In the Business premises segment, adjusted operating profit decreased mainly due to increased costs caused by the completion phase of the Mall of Tripla as well as by two other large projects.

Reported adjusted operating profit at comparable exchange rates was EUR 44.6 million.

Operating profit was EUR -16.5 million (18.5), and operating profit margin was -0.7% (0.9). The operating profit includes adjusting items of EUR 61 million (14.2). Key adjusting items include write-downs of EUR 35 million and provisions of EUR 9 million related to the closing down or selling of certain businesses in Russia. Other adjusting items are mainly related to merger related fair value cost effects and integration costs.

Profit before taxes was EUR -47.1 million (-7.0) and profit for continuing operations for the reporting period was EUR -54.1 million (-8.1).

The arrangements in Russia also have a negative impact on income taxes of the period.

46 million and achieved cumulative synergy benefits impacting the result were approximately EUR 36 million, of which EUR 19 million were realised in 2018. The company has specified the synergy timetable and estimates that it will reach cumulative annual synergy benefits impacting the result approximately EUR 41 million by the end of 2019 and approximately EUR 48 million by the end of 2020.

Integration costs are estimated to result in a nonrecurring negative cash flow effect and an effect on the result of approximately EUR 35 million during 2017– 2020. During January–September 2019, merger-related integration costs totalled approximately EUR 4.6 million. Cumulative integration costs at the end of September totalled approximately EUR 27 million, including the costs recorded for Lemminkäinen in January 2018. The company estimates that the majority of the integration costs will be allocated to 2018 and 2019.

Housing Finland and CEE

Operating environment

High consumer demand for apartments continued. Also institutional investor demand was on a good level. In addition to good demand for affordable apartments in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area and Tampere, demand for larger apartments improved year-on-year. Private residential investor demand remained at a low level. Supply in the market was on a high level.

In the CEE countries, consumer confidence continued to be on a good level, and demand for apartments continued to be brisk. Shortage of resources due to increased construction volume caused cost pressure during the reporting period.

Prices of new apartments remained on average stable both in Finland and in the CEE countries.

Mortgage interest rates were on a low level in all operating countries, and availability of financing was good. In Finland, new mortgages continued to be actively drawn.

Housing Russia

Related to the arrangements being made in Russia to reduce capital and to improve profitability, from the second quarter 2019 on, operating profit or loss from the businesses to be closed down are recorded in adjusting items and will not be presented in adjusted operating profit.

Operating environment

Russian consumers were cautious with their apartment buying decisions. Residential demand and prices remained stable. The changes in the housing sales legislation that came into effect in the beginning of July caused uncertainty in the residential market.

Interest rates for mortgages for new apartments have slightly decreased during the period. The Russian government continues to support the citizens' apartment-buying with different programs.

Business premises

Operating environment

The good market situation in Finland continued to support public and private investments. The volume of construction continued to be on a high level. Outside the Helsinki metropolitan area, competition has intensified with residential construction growth slowing down.

Business premises contracting market was active in growth centres in Finland and especially in the Helsinki metropolitan area. Tenant demand is on a good level in the Helsinki metropolitan area that is also the main market of investor demand. Rental levels of business premises remained good in Finland and in the Baltic countries.

In the Baltic countries and in Slovakia, investor demand for business premises was good. The contracting market has remained stable in the Baltic countries.

July–September

The segment's revenue increased 19% year-on-year and amounted to EUR 252.2 million (211.4). Revenue increased year-on-year mainly due to the fact that revenue from Tripla offices is now recognised according to percentage of completion.

Adjusted operating profit was EUR -6.9 million (8.7), and adjusted operating profit margin was -2.7% (4.1). The year-on-year decrease in adjusted operating profit was above all due to increased costs caused by the completion phase of the Mall of Tripla in Pasila, Helsinki, Finland, as well as by two other large projects. Mall of Tripla was finalised as scheduled and opened after the reporting period in October. The rental rate of Tripla offices was 94% at the end of the period.

During the period, the Keravanjoki multipurpose building and the renovation project of residential buildings in Helsinki, Finland, as well as several school projects were added into the order backlog. At the end of the period, the segment's order backlog was EUR 1,260.7 million (1,630.6). In the comparison period, Tripla offices were included in the order backlog.

After the reporting period, a project company formed by YIT Corporation and Meridiam Investments II was selected by the City of Espoo, Finland, for the PPP project including financing, design, construction and maintenance for 20 years of five new schools and three daycare centres to be built over the next five years.

January–September

The segment's revenue increased 22% year-on-year and amounted to EUR 738.4 million (606.5). Adjusted operating profit was EUR 3.3 million (11.7), and adjusted operating profit margin was 0.5% (1.9).

The segment's revenue grew mainly due to renovation and the start of Tripla offices' revenue and profit recognition after the sale of the offices in December 2018. During the comparison period, the Tripla offices were constructed as a self-developed project and its revenue and profit were not recognised.

Adjusted operating profit decreased mainly due to increased costs caused by the completion phase of the Mall of Tripla as well as by two other large projects.

Infrastructure projects

The Finnish Road maintenance business, previously reported as a part of the former Paving segment, has been transferred to the Infrastructure projects segment following the planned sale of Nordic paving and mineral aggregates businesses. Comparative segment figures have been restated starting from the beginning of 2018 to reflect the changes.

Operating environment

Urbanisation, industrial investments and investments in energy and traffic infrastructure have kept the demand for complex infrastructure construction on a good level. Especially in Sweden and Norway, the market remained strong, and there are several major infra projects and

industrial investments ongoing or planned in both countries.

In Finland, the infrastructure construction outlook has improved following the new government policy and the additional state budget approved in June. In the Baltic countries, competition is intense.

July–September

The segment's revenue increased 16% year-on-year due to higher volumes and amounted to EUR 250.0 million (215.2).

The segment's profitability improved clearly: adjusted operating profit was EUR 11.5 million (5.9) and adjusted operating profit margin was 4.6% (2.7). Adjusted operating profit increased due to the improved margin quality of new contracts in the order backlog.

Order backlog continued to strengthen due to e.g. the construction of a new wind farm in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden, two dam projects in Norway and the final disposal facility for Posiva Oy in Finland. Order backlog grew 38% year-on-year and was at the end of the period EUR 1,313.5 million (952.2).

After the reporting period, YIT was selected by the City of Helsinki, Finland, as the main alliance partner for the Crown Bridges tramway project.

The segment's revenue increased 14% year-on-year and amounted to EUR 584.0 million (511.9). Adjusted operating profit was EUR 8.6 million (-5.8) and adjusted operating profit margin was 1.5% (-1.1).

Revenue increased due to higher volumes year-onyear. Adjusted operating profit improved due to higher margin level year-on-year. The result was still partly burdened by the low margins recognised for old projects.

July–September

The biggest factor affecting the segment's adjusted operating profit was the business model based fair value change of a loan receivable of an investment.

During the reporting period, YIT and the Ålandsbanken bank entered into an agreement to establish a company investing in rental apartments. YIT's share of the investment is 40%, and Ålandsbanken's 60%. In the same connection, YIT agreed on the sale of ten rental apartment buildings to the company. The investment value of the projects is approximately EUR 112 million.

The biggest project reported in the Partnership properties segment is the Mall of Tripla. The project was completed as scheduled and the mall was opened in October 2019. The occupancy rate of Mall of Tripla was approximately 96% at the end of period. During the period, also the leasing of other projects reported in the Partnership properties segment proceeded well.

After the reporting period, the conditions for the fair valuation of the Mall of Tripla came into effect.

January–September

YIT was involved in establishing a joint venture that invests in rental apartments the company has constructed in Finland. The investors in the joint venture are YIT (49%) and a group of Finnish private investment companies. At the same time, YIT Housing Finland and CEE segment sold almost 600 completed apartments or apartments that are in the final stage of construction throughout Finland to the new joint venture. The total value of the sold apartments is over EUR 100 million.

The joint venture will lease the apartments it owns, and YIT's rental apartment team will be partly responsible for the leasing. Administration of the apartment portfolio and the reporting of the joint venture is outsourced to FinCap Group. The transaction strengthened the investments of the segment in rental housing generating stable cash flow. The transaction enables YIT to speed up capital turnover, while keeping value upside on the portfolio.

During January–September, the Group's continuing operations employed on average 7,677 people (8,071). Including discontinued operations, the average number of personnel in January-September was 9,523 (9,999). Attending employee figures are used in reporting the number of personnel. The decrease in the Group's number of personnel from the end of June is mainly due to the high number of seasonal trainees' employment contracts ending in all segments.

Personnel expenses totalled 302.7 EUR million (306.7).

Accident frequency (number of accidents per one million working hours) was 9.9 (9/2018: 9.6, including discontinued operations). The accident frequency is calculated by dividing the number of workplace accidents that caused an absence of at least one day by one million hours worked. The accident frequency is calculated as a 12-month average.

Long-term financial targets

YIT's Board of Directors confirmed in September 2018 the company's reviewed strategy and long-term financial targets for 2020–2022. The adoption of IFRS 16 standard did not have an effect on the company's long-term financial targets.

Additionally, the Board of Directors decided to propose to the Annual General Meeting a change in dividend payment to be done in two tranches starting with the dividend paid for the year 2019.

Long-term financial targets Target level

Strategy

In September 2019, YIT's Board of Directors confirmed the company's reviewed strategy for 2020– 2022. The target of the reviewed strategy continues to be to improve profitability and to maintain financial stability.

The company's strategic priorities are, as previously, urban development and the non-cyclical Partnership properties and services businesses. Cornerstones of success supporting these priorities are top performance, success with customers and partners, happy people and, most recently, stepping up sustainability.

Each business segment sees to its own competitiveness in its market area through development work done in the segment. Additionally, YIT implements its strategy through four group-wide development programmes supporting the cornerstones of success and growth. The Performance, Green Growth and Customer Focus programmes started last year continue with adjusted content supporting the strategy review, such as actions targeting carbon neutrality and reduced CO2 emissions. As a new one, the Services Development programme was started.

Most significant short-term business risks

YIT's Board of Directors approves the company's risk management policy and its objectives, including the risk tolerance and risk appetite. Risk management planning and the evaluation of the overall risk position are part of the annual strategy process. Risk management is included in all of the Group's significant operating, reporting and management processes. Significant changes in risks are followed on monthly basis and reported according to the Group's governance and reporting practices.

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, availability of financing for consumers or businesses, or general interest rate level would likely weaken the demand for YIT's products and services. They also impact parametres used for fair valuation of certain balance sheet items, such as the Mall of Tripla. 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.

There is still uncertainty related to the economic development of Russia. The volatility of the oil price and the rouble, changes in legislation, geopolitical tensions and inflation may have an influence on the demand for apartments due to a weakening in purchasing power and consumer confidence. Declining purchasing power and oversupply of apartments would also impact the development of residential prices.

At the end of September, Finland accounted for the majority of the company's revenue, which highlights the significance of Finland's economic development for YIT's business. The slowing growth of the Finnish economy and the indebtedness of the public sector may weaken consumers' purchasing power and general

confidence, which would have a negative impact on the demand for apartments and business premises. An increase of public sector debt could also make it more difficult to finance infrastructure investments. Investors have played a central role in YIT's Finnish business in recent years. An increase in price or interest levels, increased rental accommodation supply and/or weakening in tenant demand on the business premises or residential market and better yields of alternative investments could lead to a significant decrease in investor demand. Increased supply and slowdown of population growth or depopulation can pose a local risk for residential demand.

Ensuring competitive products and services corresponding to customer demand is critical for YIT's business. Changes in customer preferences and in the competitors' offerings pose risks related to the demand for the company's products and services. New competitors, business models and products on the housing market may pose risks related to the demand for the company's products and services.

Especially in Finland and the CEE countries, the availability of the resources needed for the increased production volume might prevent increasing the production as planned. Competitors' need for resources also poses a risk of losing key personnel and expertise. The overheating of market, should it materialise, would have an impact on price levels and availability of resources.

Completing the integration, the planned sale of Nordic paving and mineral aggregates businesses as well as arrangements in Russia take time from key personnel, cause uncertainty among employees and activate competitors to recruitment attempts. The company has taken measures as planned to mitigate these risks.

The company expects the annual total synergies to have an impact of EUR 48 million by the end of 2020. Of this, EUR 41 million is expected to be achieved by the end of 2019.

The assumptions related to the synergy benefits and integration costs are by nature uncertain and liable to numerous significant risks and uncertainties related to business, economy and competition. More detailed information on the risks related to the merger is published in the merger prospectus. The merger prospectus is available on YIT's website.

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, procurement, cost management and customer behaviour as well as 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, make up a significant share of the company's expected operating profit in the coming years, meaning that successful project management in the projects is integral.

Among other measures, the company has continued to manage risks related to its business and to capital employed by utilising associated companies and joint ventures in its business operations. Being a party to associated companies and joint ventures is nevertheless subject to risks typical to them related to, among other things, potential disagreements regarding decision making, financing and business operations, as well as distribution of liabilities among parties.

Generally increased activity in cyber criminality may cause risks for the company's operations and

Legal proceedings

As a result of the execution of the merger between YIT and Lemminkäinen, all the assets, debts and liabilities of Lemminkäinen, including on-going litigations, were transferred to YIT. The litigations are covered more extensively in Lemminkäinen's Financial Statements 2017 bulletin, which is available on YIT's internet pages: www.yitgroup.com.

Damages related to the asphalt cartel

On September 6, 2017, the Supreme Court of Finland announced that it had granted leave to appeal to Lemminkäinen and certain cities regarding the legal proceedings concerning the damages related to the asphalt cartel. The Supreme Court announced on June 18, 2019 its decisions on matters related to the claims by the cities of Mikkeli and Rovaniemi. The Supreme Court approved for the most part YIT's claims related to the question on the share of value added tax.

information security. Malpractices of personnel may cause losses, financial or other, or risks to other employees.

Changes in legislation and authorities' processes may slow down the progress of projects, have a negative effect on net debt, increase the need for equity or debt funding or prevent additional funding from being realised. There are uncertainty factors related to authorities' actions, permit processes and their efficiency particularly in Russia and the CEE countries. Political tensions between e.g. EU, USA, Russia and China are materialised as sanctions, among others, that may have a significant impact on the company's business. Changes in the federal law regulating housing market in Russia may cause disturbance in companies' monetary transactions, current contract models and increase capital employed. The act has been specified in early summer 2019, which increases uncertainty. The role of banks in monitoring the law has been expanded and the incompleteness of the monitoring process may cause uncertainty.

In recent years, the company has decreased capital employed in Russia according to its strategy and the improvement of the capital turnover will continue as a part of normal business. The company's target is to further release capital employed in Russia.

The most significant financial risks are the risks related to foreign exchange rate development and the availability of financing. Availability of financing may be affected by negative development in the Nordic residential construction market. The Group's most significant currency risk is related to rouble-denominated investments. Additional information on financial risks and their management is provided in Note 29 to the Financial Statements 2018.

Additionally, the Supreme Court approved partly YIT's claim related to decreasing the damages due to dispersion of responsibility in the matter concerning the claim by the city of Rovaniemi. The Supreme Court dismissed YIT's corresponding claim concerning the claim by the city of Mikkeli.

On October 20, 2016, the Court of Appeal of Helsinki gave its decisions in the legal proceedings concerning the damages related to the asphalt cartel. According to the decisions, Lemminkäinen was entitled to receive refunds (based on Lemminkäinen's own share and those shares of other defendants that Lemminkäinen has paid) in total approximately EUR 19 million consisting of capital as well as interest and legal expenses.

The company deems as such the claims for damages unfounded.

In addition, Lemminkäinen has been served summons regarding 21 claims against the company and other asphalt companies for damages. The capital amount of these claims totals approximately EUR 26 million. For these claims, the company has made a provision worth approximately EUR 4.0 million based on the Helsinki Court of Appeal's decisions and the subsequent Supreme Court's decisions regarding the applications for leave to appeal.

Quality concerns related to ready-mixed concrete

Ready-mixed concrete, among other things, has been used in construction business as a raw material. During

Short-term outlook by region

Finland

Consumer and institutional investor demand for apartments is expected to remain on a good level. Activity among private residential investors is expected to be lower than in the previous years. Location and price level continue to play a key role. Demand for new rental apartments in good locations continues to be on a good level supported by low interest levels. Stricter lending practice by financial institutions and potential changes in legislation may impact consumer demand in the future.

Divergent development of apartment prices and demand between growth centres and the rest of Finland is expected to continue. The increased supply of apartments is anticipated to prevent the rise of housing prices.

Rental demand for business premises is expected to remain on a good level in growth centres. Activity among property investors is expected to remain at a good level, particularly for centrally located projects in the Helsinki metropolitan area and in major growth centres. The contracting market is expected to remain active.

Renovation is expected to grow moderately due to increasing urbanisation and aging of building stock.

Construction costs are estimated to stay on a stable level. Construction volume is expected to return to a normal level.

Increased regulation and higher capital requirements imposed on financial institutions affect construction and property development. Financial institutions have tightened housing company lending in the market.

In infrastructure construction, complex infrastructure projects in urban growth centres as well as transport projects and industrial investments maintain demand. In 2019, the infrastructure construction market is expected to decline from the 2018 level but to revive in 2020. With the annual total increase of EUR 300 million in management of basic transport infrastructure in the new

the year 2016, especially in some infrastructure projects, suspicions arose that the ready-mixed concrete used in Finland would not entirely fulfil the predetermined quality requirements.

The Hospital District of Southwest Finland presented claims for damages to YIT relating to the quality of the ready-mixed concrete as well as the work performance in the project for the construction of the concrete deck of the T3 building of Turku University Hospital.

YIT has in April 2019 signed a contract with the concrete supplier on agreeing the dispute between YIT and the concrete supplier.

government policy, infrastructure construction volumes may be stabilised.

Russia

Demand for apartments is expected to remain at the same level as seen on average in 2018. Demand is expected to focus primarily on affordable apartments; this is also supported by demographic trends. The recent key rate cut by the Central Bank of Russia has lead to a slight decrease in mortgage interest rates.

Changes in regulation concerning the housing market are expected to continue to cause uncertainty and turbulence in the market, to maintain volatility in supply and sales practices as well as to increase housing prices in the longer term.

The Baltic countries and CEE countries

Residential demand in the Baltic countries is expected to remain on a good level. Availability of financing and low interest rates are expected to continue to support residential demand. Weaker outlook for the German economy might impact residential demand in the CEE countries. Residential prices are estimated to increase further.

The prices of plots have increased and competition for plots is expected to remain intense. Shortage of resources and long construction permit processes are expected to continue to increase construction cost inflation and to limit volume growth.

The contracting market for business premises is expected to remain at the current level or to decrease slightly in the Baltic countries.

In the Baltic countries, the volume of infrastructure construction is expected to continue to grow due to the states' investments in improving urban and transport infrastructure, but competition is expected to remain intense.

Scandinavia

In Norway and Sweden, infrastructure construction is boosted by multi-year, state-funded traffic infrastructure development programmes and urbanisation. In both countries, infrastructure construction is expected to grow in 2019. Large-scale road, railway projects and industrial investments are ongoing or planned in Sweden and Norway, which will increase demand for infrastructure projects. In addition, especially Norway is investing in the development and renewal of energy production.

Guidance for 2019

Guidance for 2019

The Group revenue of continuing operations for 2019 is estimated to be in the range of +6% and +2% compared to the 2018 combined revenue of continuing operations (pro forma, restated 2018: EUR 3,201.0 million). Previously the company estimated the revenue in 2019 to be in the range of +5% and -3% compared to 2018.

In 2019, the adjusted operating profit of continuing operations is estimated to be EUR 160–185 million (pro forma, restated 2018: EUR 132.0 million). Previously the company estimated the adjusted operating profit of continuing operations in 2019 to be EUR 160-200 million.

Guidance rationale

The result guidance for 2019 is based, for instance, on the estimated time of completion of residential projects under construction and the company's solid order backlog. At the end of September, 78% of the order backlog was sold.

Significant fluctuation is expected to take place between the quarters due to normal seasonal variation, closing of sales of business premises projects, the timing of completion of residential projects and the fair valuation of Mall of Tripla. As in 2018, the last quarter of the year is expected to be clearly the strongest. The company estimates that the adjusted operating profit for the fourth quarter of 2019 will increase from the comparison period (pro forma, restated 10-12/2018: EUR 99.3 million).

Estimated completions of consumer apartment projects under construction

At the end of September, the company had 14,643 apartments under construction in total. The table below shows the company's current estimate of consumer apartment projects under construction to be completed. In the figures for Russia, all projects under construction are included, also the ones which are not included in adjusted operating profit. In addition, the company has

2,343 (6/19: 2,290) apartments that are recognised in accordance with percentage of completion.

The timing of the commissioning permit may deviate from the technical completion of a building, and the company cannot fully influence the reported completion date. Also other factors may influence the completion date.

1In Finland, the estimate of completions may deviate with tens of apartments depending on the construction schedule. 2In CEE countries, the estimate of completions may vary with tens of apartments, a deviation of over 100 apartments is possible depending on authorities' decisions.

3In Russia, the estimate of completions may vary with hundreds of apartments, a deviation of over 500 apartments is possible depending on authorities'

decisions. 4 Approximately 50% of the apartments to be completed are in the regions where the operations are to be sold or discontinued.

Factors affecting the guidance

The most significant factors with which YIT can meet the market demand are sales and pricing, project and project risk management, product development and product offering, measures to reduce production costs, cost management and measures affecting capital efficiency.

Factors outside of YIT's sphere of influence are mainly related to global economic development, functionality of financing markets and interest rate,

political environment, economic development in areas of operation, changes in demand for apartments and

business premises, availability of resources such as key persons, functionality of labour markets, changes in public and private sector investments and changes in legislation, permit and authorisation processes and the duration thereof, as well as development of foreign exchange rates.

Due to the long-term nature of construction and urban development projects, changes in demand may be quicker than the company's ability to adapt its offering.

Additional information on the Group's reporting practices and presentation of financial information in this interim report

The text section of this interim report concerns continuing operations. In connection with the planned sale of Nordic paving and mineral aggregate businesses, YIT has classified the operations that are part of the transaction as held-for-sale assets and reports them as discontinued operations.

In its segment reporting, YIT reports only continuing operations, which means that the former Paving segment is no longer reported. The Road maintenance division that was previously reported in the former Paving segment is reported as part of the Infrastructure projects segment. The paving business in Russia that YIT has announced to exit either by closing down or by selling it by the end of 2019 is presented under "Other items" in the segment reporting.

The company has published its retrospectively adjusted consolidated group and segment level numbers for 2018 and 2019 on July 22, 2019.

YIT and Lemminkäinen merged on February 1, 2018. In this half-year report, comparison figures have been presented in the tables as pro forma figures excluding discontinued operations under "Pro forma, restated". The balance sheet is not restated.These unaudited pro forma financial disclosures, excluding discontinued businesses, reflect the current segment reporting structure and reporting practices.

The unaudited pro forma financial disclosures are based on YIT's and Lemminkäinen's IFRS-compliant historical financial data, adjusted for the effects of the merger. YIT's actual results may deviate materially from the assumptions used in preparing these unaudited pro forma disclosures.

The pro forma balance sheet is presented as if the merger had occurred on December 31, 2017, and as if YIT as the accounting acquirer had consolidated the acquisition balance sheet of Lemminkäinen in its group financial accounts at said time.

The pro forma income statements (excluding discontinued businesses) for the accounting period ending December 31, 2017 are presented as if the merger had occurred on January 1, 2017. Pro forma adjustments that do not have a continuing impact on YIT's result are presented in the income statement for the accounting period that ended December 31, 2017. Additional information about the historical financial figures of YIT or Lemminkäinen are available in YIT's and Lemminkäinen's audited consolidated financial statements and unaudited interim reports, available on YIT's website at www.yitgroup.com.

YIT applies IFRS in its group reporting as well as in its segment reporting. According to the IFRS accounting principles, revenue from residential projects for consumers is mainly recognised upon completion. Consequently, there may be significant fluctuation in the Group's results between the quarters depending on project completion dates.

The company no longer reports any figures for the Housing Finland and CEE segment and the Housing Russia segment under the percentage of completion (POC) as it did in 2018. YIT had previously, before the merger with Lemminkäinen February 1, 2018, used percentage of completion (POC) segment reporting as its primary reporting principle, and the Group's previous financial targets, for example, were based on POC reporting.

1 BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES OF THE INTERIM REPORT

1.1 Basis of preparation

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IFRS recognition and measurement principles, but all requirements of IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting standard have not been applied. This interim report should be read together with YIT Corporation's financial statements 2018. The figures presented in the interim report are unaudited. In the interim report the figures are presented in million euros doing the rounding on each line, which may cause some rounding inaccuracies in column and total sums.

Pro forma information

Lemminkäinen merged into YIT on February 1, 2018. YIT as the accounting acquirer of Lemminkäinen has used the acquisition method to account for the merger. The identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Lemminkäinen have been recognised at their fair values as of the merger date, with excess of the purchase consideration over the provisional fair value of identifiable net assets acquired recognised as goodwill.

YIT has previously published unaudited pro forma financial information to illustrate the effects of the merger of YIT and Lemminkäinen to its results of operations and financial position. Following the classification of the Nordic paving and mineral aggegrates business as discontinued operations in YIT's half-year report 2019, YIT has restated the unaudited pro forma financial information to reflect the reporting of continuing and discontinued operations. 2018 published pro forma financial information was restated by separating the profits of the operations planned to be sold separately from continuing operations. Pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is unaudited. Pro forma information doesn't represent the actual historical result of YIT Corporation's operations.

1.2 Accounting policies

The same IFRS recognition and measurement principles have been applied in the preparation of this interim report as in the YIT Corporation's Financial Statements 2018 except for the changes described below.

IFRS 16 Leases

YIT started applying the IFRS 16 standard on January 1, 2019. The company adopted the new standard based on the modified method, thus the comparison period is not restated. A more detailed description of the new accounting policies related to IFRS 16 can be found in Note 3.3 Adoption of IFRS 16 Leases.

Discontinued operations

YIT announced on July 4, 2019 the sale of its Nordic paving and mineral aggregates businesses to Peab. YIT has applied the requirements of IFRS 5 Non‑current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations in classifying, presenting and accounting for the transaction. YIT has classified the operations as held-for-sale assets and reports them as discontinued operations. Result from discontinued operations is reported separately from income and expenses from continuing operations in the consolidated income statement, with prior periods restated accordingly. Intra-group revenues and expenses between continuing and discontinued operations are eliminated, except for those revenues and expenses that are considered to continue after the disposal of the discontinued operation. The statement of financial position is not restated for prior periods.Assets and liabilities related to the discontinued operations are presented as separate line items in the statement of financial position in this interim report.

Segment reporting

Following the sale of its Nordic paving and mineral aggregates business, YIT reports only continuing operations in its segment reporting, which means that the former Paving segment is no longer reported. With effect from the second quarter of 2019, YIT has five reported segments: Housing Finland and CEE, Housing Russia, Business premises, Infrastructure projects and Partnership properties. The comparative segment figures have been restated to reflect the changes in the management reporting. Further information about the change and segments is found in Note 3.1 Segment information.

Classification of financial assets

Based on the business model of Partnership properties segment, YIT has classified a long-term loan receivable to be included in the fair value through profit and loss category. The fair value of the debt instrument is based on discounted cash flows. The discount rate is defined based on the perceived credit worthiness of the counterparty. The instrument is categorised on level 3. Changes in fair value are recognised in Other operating income in the consolidated income statement.

Significant management judgements

The preparation of this interim report required management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. In preparing this interim report, significant judgements made by management in applying the company's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018, except for the new significant judgements related to lessee accounting under IFRS 16, which are described in Note 3.3 Adoption of IFRS 16 Leases.

Segment information is reported according to management reporting for the Group Management Board. The chief operating decision-maker is YIT Group's Management Board, which is responsible for the allocation of resources to the segments and the assessment of the segments' performance.

Following the sale of its Nordic paving and mineral aggregates business, YIT reports only continuing operations in its segment reporting, which means that the former Paving segment is no longer reported. With effect from the second quarter of 2019, YIT Corporation has five reported segments: Housing Finland and CEE, Housing Russia, Business premises, Infrastructure projects and Partnership properties. The paving business in Russia is reported under Other items. The Finnish road maintenance operations of the former Paving segment are reported as part of the Infrastructure projects segment. Capital employed is reported from segments and reconciliated to Group total. The comparative segment figures have been restated to reflect the changes in the management reporting.

The Housing Finland and CEE segment's business comprises development and construction of apartments, entire residential areas and leisure-time residences. The segment's main focus is on self-developed projects, and YIT mainly sells the constructed apartments itself to both consumers and investors. YIT also offers and develops different living services and concepts. The segment's geographical markets are Finland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

The Housing Russia segment's business comprises development and construction of apartments and entire residential areas in Russia.

The Business premises segment consists of business premises construction, project development and real estate management businesses. Majority of the revenue comes from Finnish operations. In this segment, YIT pursues both selfdeveloped projects and contracting. The segment's geographical markets are Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Slovakia.

The Infrastructure projects segment's operations include construction of roads, bridges, railway and metro stations and ports and parking facilities as well as energy and water supply facilities and industrial plants. YIT also offers wind power plant foundation solutions with related services and maintenance. Additionally, YIT quarries tunnels and mines and reinforces soil using different methods and provides road maintenance services in Finland. The segment operates in Finland, Sweden, Norway, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

The Partnership properties segment's income derives from investments, i.e. from rental income (cash flow from rents) and increased value of the assets. Additionally, the segment has revenue from different service agreements related to managing or sourcing the assets it partially owns.

Other items in segment reporting include the paving business in Russia. YIT plans to exit the paving business in Russia either by closing down or by selling the operations by the end of 2019. From the second quarter on, operating profit or loss from the businesses to be closed down or sold in Russia has been recorded in adjusting items and is not presented in adjusted operating profit. Additionally, other items include Group internal services, rental revenue from external customers and Group level unallocated costs. Merger related fair value allocations and goodwill have not been allocated to the segments' capital employed but are reported in segment level in "Other items".

Segment reporting accounting policies

YIT Corporation has prepared segment and group reporting in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). YIT regularly reports revenue, depreciation and operating profit and adjusted operating profit by segment to the management. In addition, capital employed by segment is reported.

The historical segment information of YIT doesn't give investors a comparable base for financial information of the present combined company. To add comparability, the comparative figures are presented as pro forma figures, which expresses the effect of the Lemminkäinen merger as if it had happened on January 1, 2017. Following the classification of the Nordic paving and mineral aggegrates business as discontinued operations in YIT's half-year report 2019, YIT has restated the unaudited pro forma financial information to reflect the reporting of continuing and discontinued operations.

Seasonality of business

Seasonality of certain operations of the company affects the company's profit and its timing. According to the IFRS accounting principles, certain customer contracts are recognised at a certain point in time. As a result, the profit of the company can fluctuate greatly between quarters depending on the completion of the projects. There may be some seasonality in the Infrastructure projects segment's foundation engineering business due to the timing of building construction projects.

3.3 Adoption of IFRS 16 Leases

Transition

YIT started applying the IFRS 16 standard on January 1, 2019. The company adopted the new standard based on the modified method, thus the comparison period is not adjusted.

The table below presents relevant accounting policy decisions that YIT has made.

Relevant accounting policy Short description of the policy
Transition method The company applied the modified retrospective approach
in transition. Lease liabilities are recognised based on the
remaining lease payments discounted using incremental
borrowing rates at the date of initial application.
Measurement of the right-of-use assets in transition The company measured the right-of-use assets at an
amount equal to the lease liability (adjusted by the amount
of any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to that
lease recognised in the statement of financial position
immediately before the date of initial application).
Measurement and recognition exemption for leases for The company did not recognise leases, for which the
which the underlying asset is of low value underlying asset is of low value, in the balance sheet.
Measurement and recognition exemption for leases for The company did not recognise short-term leases in the
which the underlying asset is of low value balance sheet. Short -term leases are lease contracts that
have a lease term of 12 months or less.

Description of practical expedients used in transition

  • The company did not reassess existing lease contracts but applied the guidance regarding the definition of a lease only to contracts entered into (or changed) on or after the date of initial application. This applied to both contracts that were not previously identified as containing a lease applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 and those that were previously identified as leases in IAS 17 and IFRIC 4. This expedient was applied to all of the company's contracts.
  • The company applied a single discount rate for a portfolio of similar leases.
  • The company relied on previous assessment made at the date of initial application as to whether a lease is onerous applying IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent assets instead of performing an impairment review.
  • The company excluded initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application.
  • The company used hindsight for example in determining the lease period if the lease contract contains options to extend or terminate the contract.

Accounting policies

The Group assesses whether an agreement is, or contains, a lease at the inception date of an agreement. An agreement, or a part of an agreement, is classified as a lease, when the underlying asset can be identified, the lessee has the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from the use of the asset and has the right to direct how and for what purpose the asset is used throughout the period of use.

The Group as a lessee

The Group's most significant lease agreements include plot lease agreements related to own building development in Finland and lease agreements related to buildings and structures and machinery and equipment.

If the agreement or part of the agreement is classified as a lease, the lease liability and right-of-use asset are recognised at the commencement date of an agreement. The commencement date is the date when the underlying asset is available for use by the lessee.

The Group recognises lease payments related to short-term leases (lease term is 12 months or less) and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value on straight-line basis as an expense in income statement.

Measurement and presentation of lease liability

Lease liabilities are measured by discounting expected future lease payments to present value. Lease payments include fixed lease payments (including in-substance fixed payments), expected amounts payable related to residual value guarantee and possible exercise price of purchase option, if the decision to use a purchase option is reasonably certain. If the Group is reasonably certain to exercise a termination option, the possible termination fee is included in the lease liability. Lease term is the non-cancellable period of the lease covered by options to terminate if the termination is not reasonably certain. Possible extension options are included in the lease term, if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise the options.

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if the rate is readily determinable. If the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determined, the Group uses incremental borrowing rate as a discount rate.

The lease liabilities are subsequently measured using effective interest rate method and the Group remeasures the carrying amount to reflect any re-assessments or lease modifications. Reassessment of the lease liability takes place, if the cash flow changes based on the original terms and conditions of the lease, for example, if the lease term changes or if the lease payments change based on an index or a variable rate.

Many of the Group's significant lease agreements include lease payments, which are tied to an index. Lease liability is initially measured using the index at the commencement day of the lease agreement. Future changes in the index are considered in the measurement when there is a change in the cash flow.

Reassessment of extension and termination options are done only when a significant event or change in circumstances occur, that is within the control of the Group and affects whether the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an option. The discount rate used in the reassessment varies based on the nature of the reassessment. For example, the reassessment due to an index change is done based on the original discount rate and reassessments due to the changes in the lease term is done using revised discount rate. The lease liability is presented as a separate line item in the balance sheet as noncurrent and current liability.

Measurement and presentation of right-of-use asset

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost based on the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability. Initial direct costs, restoration costs or any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received are also included in the measurement of the right-of-use asset. The right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and the useful life of the asset, unless there is a transfer of ownership or a purchase option, which is reasonably certain to be exercised at the end of the lease term. Then the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. Any remeasurements of the lease liability will be treated as a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use asset.

Right-of-use assets related to tangible assets are presented on a separate line item in the balance sheet as leased property, plant and equipment. Right-of-use assets related to leased plots are presented on a separate line item in the balance sheet as leased inventory.

Treatment of plot lease agreements related to own building development

The Group has plot lease agreements related to own building development in Finland and in Russia. The plot lease agreements are presented in the balance sheet and income statement in a similar manner as the Group's own plots in inventory.

In Finland, the Group has own building development projects, where typically residential buildings are built either on to an owned or a leased plot. The plot lease agreements in Finland are typically long-term agreements, usually between 20-50 years. The leased plots related to own building development projects, as well as Group's own plots in inventory, form part of the performance obligation under the revenue recognition guidance to sell apartments to the customers. The leased plots related to own building development projects are initially measured according to measurement requirements of IFRS 16.

When the Group enters in Finland in the plot lease agreement related to own residential building development and the development project has not started, the right-of-use asset of the plot lease agreement is recognised in inventories and in the lease liability in the balance sheet. The plot lease agreement related to own building development will be derecognised from inventories under change in inventories when sale is recognized based on the revenue recognition policies of the Group.

The lease liability of plot lease agreements related to incomplete own residential building development projects in Finland is presented in the balance sheet either in lease liability or advances received depending on the degree of sale. The portion of the unsold apartments related to incomplete own residential building development projects is presented in lease

liability in the balance sheet. The liability related to the sold apartments of incomplete own residential building development projects, is a non-cash consideration, and it is presented in advances received based on the underlying nature of the transaction. At the point of revenue recognition, the lease liability on the sold apartments will be recognised as revenue in income statement. The lease liability on completed unsold apartments is presented in lease liability in the balance sheet.

The Group as a lessor

The Group has subleased business premises it leases from third parties and these are treated as other lease agreements instead of finance leases. The classification is done with reference to the right-of-use asset of the original lease agreement. Rental income is recorded as income in the income statement during the lease period. The Group's activities as a lessor are not material.

Significant management judgement related to lease agreements

The assessment of lease term and incremental borrowing rate have a significant impact on measurement of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets. When assessing the lease term, the Group will include the periods covered by extension options and termination options whether it's reasonably certain to exercise or not to exercise such an option. The Group considers, for example, contractual terms and conditions for optional periods or costs related to termination of lease and signing of new replacement. Overall, the Group is always considering the importance of a certain asset to its operations. Typically, the plot lease agreements related to own building development are in the Group's possession only for a short period of time. Considering the Group's use of the of the plot lease agreements related to own building development, it can be assumed that the Group will not use possible termination, purchase or extension options. With office agreements the Group is considering the significance of the leasehold improvements and possible relocation costs.

If the lease term is indefinite, the Group assesses the period when the contract is enforceable to define what's the earliest point in time at which both parties (lessee and lessor) can leave the contract and its contractual obligations without no more than an insignificant penalty. As a significant penalty the Group considers not only direct penalty payments to lessor but also indirect or economic penalties for both parties. The Group considers the facts and circumstances mentioned above, including the nature of the leased asset in relation to the corresponding business plan, to assess when it will be reasonably certain to terminate the lease contract. The lease term is assessed accordingly. The Group's indefinite lease contracts are typically related to buildings and machinery and equipment.

In the definition of incremental borrowing rate, the Group has considered the nature of a leased asset, risk factors of the Group and geographical location, underlying currency and duration of an agreement.

3.7 Events after the reporting period

The Mall of Tripla shopping mall was opened in Pasila, Helsinki, Finland, on October 17, 2019. In the last quarter of the year, the Partnership properties segment will recognise the significant positive effect in operating profit of fair valuation of the investment in the company Mall of Tripla Ky. Consequently the segment's capital employed will increase. YIT's share of ownership in Mall of Tripla Ky is 38.75%, which is the owner of the shopping mall. As of opening of the mall, YIT no longer has either joint control or significant influence in the investee. YIT will discontinue consolidating the investment using the equity method in the consolidated financial statements. The investment will be accounted as an equity investment at fair value through profit and loss.

4.3 Definitions of financial key performance indicators

Key figure Definitions Reason for use
Operating profit Result for the period before taxes and finance
expenses and finance income equalling to the
subtotal presented in the consolidated income
statement.
Operating profit shows result
generated by operating activities
excluding finance and tax related
items.
Adjusted operating
profit
Operating profit excluding adjusting items.
Adjusting items Adjusting items are material items outside ordinary
course of business such as write-down of
inventories, impairment of goodwill, integration costs
related to merger, transaction costs related to
merger, costs, compensations and reimbursements
related to court proceedings, write-downs related to
non-core businesses, operating profit from
businesses to be closed down, gains or losses
arising from the divestments of a business or part of
a business, costs on the basis of statutory personnel

impacts of the fair value adjustments from purchase
price allocation, such as fair value adjustments on
acquired inventory, depreciation of fair value
adjustments on acquired property, plant and
equipment and amortisation of fair value
adjustments on acquired intangible assets relating to
business combination accounting under the
provisions of IFRS 3, referred to as purchase price
allocation ("PPA").
(YIT has changed the definition of this key
performance indicator starting of April 1, 2019 to
include operating profit from businesses to be closed
down.)
Adjusted operating profit is
presented in addition to operating
profit to reflect the underlying core
business performance and to
enhance comparability from period
to period. Management believes that
this alternative performance
measure provides meaningful
supplemental information by
excluding items not part of YIT's
core business operations thus
improving comparability from period
to period.

Capital employed includes tangible and intangible assets, shares in associates and joint ventures, investments, inventories, trade receivables and other non-interest bearing receivables, provisions, advance payments and other non-interest bearing debts excluding items related to taxes, finance items and profit distribution.

profit and adjusting items related to merger included
in financial expenses including tax impact.
Adjusted earnings per share from
continuing operations is
presented in addition to earnings per
share in order to enhance
comparability from period to period.
(On June 30, 2019, the definition was changed to
include only continuing operations.)
Management believes that this
alternative performance measure
provides meaningful supplemental
information by excluding items not

part of YIT's core business
operations thus improving
comparability from period to period.

operations until disposal.
(YIT has changed the definition of net debt/adjusted
EBITDA on January 1, 2019 to exclude IFRS 16
leases related entries. On June 30, 2019, the
definition of denominator was added with 12 months
adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operations. The
adjusted EBITDA from discontinued operations will
be added to denominator until operations are
disposed.)
