Strategy execution continues: profitability improved despite prevailing market instability, the sale of the businesses in Russia completed successfully

Second quarter 2022 highlights:

  • Adjusted operating profit was EUR 25 million (24).
  • Adjusted operating profit margin improved to 4.5% (3.4) supported by enhanced productivity.
  • Good performance in Housing continued in market instability. Earnings were weaker than previous year mainly due to a lower number of apartment completions in Finland resulting from low start-ups during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Transformation in other segments progressed driven by improvements in project management in Business Premises and Infrastructure and portfolio development in Property Development.
  • YIT withdrew from all operations in Russia successfully.
  • Result for the period was EUR -277 million (11), negatively impacted by the result of EUR -293 million from the discontinued operations following the sale of YIT's operations in Russia. Discontinued operations' result was impacted by the booking of the accumulated RUB/EUR translation difference of EUR -253 million. The booking did not have an impact on Group's equity or cash flow.
  • Net interest-bearing debt was at EUR 435 million (353) and gearing at 51% (35).
  • Order book strengthened to EUR 4,067 million (31 March 2022: 3,756).
  • Land bank amounted to 2,145,000 sqm (31 March 2022: 2,173,000), which enables the construction of approx. 32,000 new homes.
  • Combined lost time injury frequency amounted to 12.0 (12.1).
  • Teemu Helppolainen, Executive Vice President, Housing Russia, left the company with the completion of the sale of YIT´s businesses in Russia.

From the first quarter of 2022 onwards, YIT has four reportable segments: Housing, Business Premises, Infrastructure and Property Development. Sold Russian businesses are reported as discontinued operations. On 25 April 2022, YIT restated financial information for comparative periods reflecting an operating model change, where certain operations and functions were transferred between reportable segments, and the reporting of the sold Russian businesses as discontinued operations. Balance sheet and cash flow statement for comparative periods were not restated. Unless otherwise noted, all figures in this report concern continuing operations.

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

"The second quarter was eventful. Market turbulence was

Markku Moilanen, President and CEO

noticeable: while supply chains were finding new balances, consumer confidence was deteriorating due to rising interest rates and inflation. However, for us at YIT, the quarter was successful despite the prevailing market instability. The highlight of the quarter was the closure of the sale of our Russian businesses. I am satisfied that we were able to negotiate a strong deal, close it according to the agreed terms, and withdraw from all operations in Russia in these challenging conditions. This achievement makes me proud as, above all, it is a testimony to the enormous expertise and commitment of our people who worked relentlessly to accomplish this important milestone in YIT's history.

The second quarter was successful also for our businesses. We reached a solid adjusted operating profit of EUR 25 million, a slight increase from last year (24). More importantly, our relative profitability improved with our adjusted operating profit margin amounting to 4.5% compared to 3.4% a year before. This is a remarkable achievement considering that the market was not easy at all. It proves that our businesses are in good shape and our strategy execution has been successful.

The core of our strategy is a strong Housing business. The growth is sought in key cities in Finland, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, where YIT sees opportunities in the medium and long term. This growth is enabled by improving performance in the rest of our businesses.

The construction sector is cyclical and typically it is housing that swings harder than the rest of the construction. Now, it seems evident that we are heading towards a downturn. Accordingly, it is of the utmost importance to have a business model which withstands shocks from the market. That is what we have built-in at YIT. Our diversified business model provides us protection against market turbulence, which can be seen in our second quarter earnings. While the Housing segment's earnings decreased from last year's very strong levels to more normalised figures, the successful transformation and improving performance in Business Premises and Infrastructure drove our earnings growth.

I am happy to see that our strategy execution is on the right track. We have already achieved substantial productivity gains from our new agile operating model and focus on project management. Our renewed focus on core businesses is developing well with selectiveness in project tendering and selected divestments. ESG, in turn, unlocks future potential as green investments increase.

In short term, however, there are challenges as market instability continues. Rising interest rates and high inflation are impacting our sector, especially in the Housing business. Demand has come down from last year's exceptionally strong levels and there are uncertainties in the near term. Regarding construction materials, on the other hand, we see some signs of stabilising prices at the moment. Our material availability has remained at a good level because of strong relationships with our suppliers and hard work of our procurement and project organizations.

While we at YIT are obviously not immune from the market instability, our diversified business model and strategy which focuses on core competencies are supporting us. Our balance sheet is strong and withstands cyclical changes in sales levels. Our investments are geared towards future growth and opportunities. We have clear competitive advantages and expect to navigate through current market challenges by rigorous strategy execution and to continue our solid performance."

President & CEO

Guidance for 2022

In Housing, completions of consumer apartments are expected to decrease compared to 2021. In Business Premises, operational performance will continue to improve. Infrastructure will gradually improve, while still impacted by certain legacy low-margin projects. In Property Development, there are several promising projects in the pipeline.

YIT expects its Group adjusted operating profit for continuing operations to be higher than in 2021 (2021: EUR 85 million).

Temporary shutdowns or slower progress on construction sites and delayed completions due to the COVID-19 pandemic or challenges in construction material and labour availability could lead to the postponement of revenue and profit from one quarter or year to another. YIT aims to mitigate the impact of increased construction material costs by actively managing its customer relations, contracts, and procurement. Rising interest rates and overall inflation could have an impact on consumer demand and result in lower-than-expected apartment sales. Due to an increased number of apartments under construction, YIT expects to tie up more capital as the year progresses.

Market environment and outlook

Housing market

In Finland, consumer demand has been softening on the back of a weakening economic outlook and increasing consumer cautiousness. Consumer demand is expected to remain somewhat muted in the short-term. Challenges in construction material availability and material cost inflation have persisted, but the situation is stabilising. Housing company loan financing has continued to be challenging due to the cautiousness of banks.

In Baltic and Central Eastern European countries, consumer demand softened as macroeconomic uncertainty rose, but the demand outlook remains cautiously positive. Challenges in construction material availability and material cost inflation have still persisted, and these challenges are expected to continue. Delays in planning permission processes of authorities have somewhat subsided.

Market environment and outlook, Housing Region Q2 Outlook Finland Baltic countries Central Eastern Europe

Real estate market

In Finland, the second quarter was solid. However, the uptick in construction material inflation started to impact the sentiment, as decision making by some customers slowed due to growing cost pressures. On the investor side, rising rates have put upward pressure on yields, which in turn has led to increased levels of cautiousness. So far, demand has remained on a good level, but the uncertainty in the market is increasing.

In Baltic and Central Eastern European countries, the market remained moderate despite growing macroeconomic uncertainty. The headwinds caused by the high level of cost inflation continued, but availability of workforce was already on a better level compared to the previous quarter.

Infrastructure market

In Finland, public sector demand has remained moderate. Private sector demand is driven by energy and industrial construction, as well as growing demand for wind power. The increasing uncertainty has led to postponement of projects in some specific instances, but overall, the market is solid.

In Sweden, the market remains active due to a good level of demand in both public and private sectors, although competition for projects has intensified. The public sector is supported by several ongoing infrastructure projects, and the private sector demand is driven by industrial investments.

Strategy

The objective of YIT's strategy is to be the most reliable partner to all stakeholders delivering predictable, market-leading results. YIT plans to achieve this objective by seeking growth in the Housing business and completing transformation in other businesses. YIT has three strategic priority areas: Focus, Productivity, and ESG.

Focus

YIT is driving growth in the Housing business in selected growth cities in Finland, Poland, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia. In the second quarter, YIT continued to invest in attractive urban plots in line with its strategy. Simultaneously, YIT continued to structure its land bank to support its strategic objectives by divesting plots in nonstrategic regions.

During the second quarter, YIT made several plot acquisitions, the most significant of which include the plots for over 300 housing units in Warsaw, Poland, and approximately 160 units in Kraków, Poland. At the end of the second quarter, YIT´s land bank amounted to 2,145,000 sqm (31 Mar 2022: 2,173,000), which enables the construction of approximately 32,000 new homes. 52% of YIT´s land bank was located in selected growth cities.

YIT was also streamlining its business portfolio by completing the sale of its Russian businesses in May. The transaction was in line with YIT's strategy to focus on its core businesses.

Productivity

In its strategy, YIT aims to achieve a step change in productivity by streamlining its operating model, focusing on project selection and risk and project management, and driving transformation on supply chain management.

Cumulative cost savings year to date from the new agile operating model amounted to EUR 14 million at the end of the second quarter. In addition, YIT has achieved substantial efficiency gains from enhanced project management. In the second quarter, YIT also successfully launched a new financial system in Finland. The new system improves project and performance management throughout the organisation. In addition, YIT continued its work to develop its supply chain management by launching a development roadmap.

ESG

Environment

YIT announced in 2021 that it commits to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees in line with the Paris Climate Agreement. YIT has reduced the CO2 emission of its own operations (Scope 1 & 2) already by -51% compared to 2019. The reduction has been driven by a shift to green electricity and reducing energy intensity of operations.

Social

In the second quarter, YIT's lost time injury frequency (LTIF) amounted to 12.0 (12.1). YIT continues its work to decrease accident frequency and pursues zeroharm workplace. YIT uses the number of safety observations as a key performance indicator in safety management. The number of observations and interventions have increased, indicating that the safety culture is improving. During the first half of 2022, the total number of observations increased by 110% compared to the corresponding period.

Governance

In Finland, YIT requires employees from non-EU/EEA/EFTA countries to have the right of employment and residence in order to prevent work-related exploitation and other grey economy phenomena. YIT has established a continuing internal audit process for inspecting non-EU/EEA/EFTA workers. During the first half of 2022, 9 non-compliant work permit statuses were found out of the 535 inspected.

Results

April–June

YIT's order book increased to EUR 4,067 million at the end of the second quarter (31 Mar 2022: 3,756). The increase was driven by the strengthened order book of the Housing segment. In Business Premises, Infrastructure, and Property Development, the order book remained stable. At the end of the quarter, 92% of the order book was sold (31 Mar 2022: 82).

YIT's revenue decreased by 20% to EUR 545 million (685). The decrease was primarily due to a lower number of apartment completions and lower sales in Housing, partly offset by a higher revenue in Business Premises driven by the sale of two self-developed projects.

YIT´s adjusted operating profit was EUR 25 million (24) and the adjusted operating profit margin increased to 4.5% (3.4). Improved profitability was driven by the successful continued transformation in Business Premises and Infrastructure, as well as sales of two self-developed projects in Business Premises.

YIT's operating profit was EUR 22 million (21). Adjusting items were EUR 2 million in the second quarter (2). The result for the period, including discontinued operations, was EUR -277 million (11) and was impacted by the booking of the accumulated RUB/EUR translation difference of EUR -253 million following the sale of the Russian businesses.

January–June

YIT´s revenue was EUR 1,063 million (1,247). Revenue increased in the Business Premises and Property Development segments but decreased in the Housing and Infrastructure segments.

YIT´s adjusted operating profit increased to EUR 47 million (39) and the adjusted operating profit margin to 4.4% (3.1). Improved profitability reflects solid performance across the segments, particularly successful continued transformation in Business Premises and Infrastructure.

YIT's operating profit was EUR 44 million (31). The adjusting items amounted to EUR 2 million (8).

Cash flow and financial position

During April–June, the Group's operating cash flow after investments was EUR -133 million (109). Cash flow from plot investments was EUR -48 million (-28). Cash flow from investments to associated companies and joint ventures was EUR -12 million (-6).

At the end of the period, interest-bearing debt amounted to EUR 747 million (713) and net interest-bearing debt to EUR 435 million (353). Net interest-bearing debt included IFRS 16 lease liabilities of EUR 210 million (204), as well as housing company loans of EUR 145 million (106) related to unsold apartments. Gearing ratio was 51% (35) and equity ratio 37% (41). Equity decreased to EUR 848 million (1,021). Net debt/adjusted EBITDA ratio was 3.6 and interest cover ratio 4.3.

During the second quarter, YIT agreed on a one-year extension of its EUR 300 million revolving credit facility by utilising its one-year extension option. The new maturity date for the facility is in June 2025. The extension of the loan maturity supports YIT's existing strong liquidity position. The revolving credit facility is undrawn.

During April–June, the net finance costs amounted to EUR 9 million (9). During January–June, the net finance costs amounted to EUR 16 million (19).

Cash and cash equivalents decreased to EUR 248 million (304), and YIT had undrawn overdraft facilities amounting to EUR 32 million (32). Furthermore, a committed revolving credit facility of EUR 300 million (300) was completely undrawn, and unutilised and committed housing company and project loan limits related to apartment projects were EUR 292 million (232).

Capital employed was EUR 1,286 million (1,207, continuing operations) at the end of the quarter. Capital employed increased primarily due to an increased number of apartments under construction.

Investments and divestments

During April–June, gross capital expenditure amounted to EUR 4 million (12), of which EUR 3 million (9) was related to leased assets. Investments in plots were EUR 31 million (34), after which the plot reserve amounted to EUR 582 million (681). During April–June, there were no investments in leased plots.

Governance

Changes in the Group Management Team

Teemu Helppolainen, Executive Vice President, Housing Russia, left the company with the completion of the sale of YIT´s businesses in Russia on 30 May 2022.

Significant risks and uncertainties

The purpose of YIT's risk management is to identify the most significant risks to the company's operations and manage them in a balanced way. Risk management aims to ensure the continuity of YIT's operations and the achievement of targets. YIT has a risk management policy that guides the management of the company's overall risk position. Risk management is included in all of the Group's significant operating, reporting and management processes.

YIT has categorised the risks that are significant to its operations into strategic, operational, financial, event, and project risks.

Detailed descriptions of risks, their impacts and risk management practices are available in YIT's Annual Review 2021. These risks still apply. The main updates to risks since the publication of the review are related to the changes in the geopolitical situation, as well as removal of Russia related country and currency exchange risks as a result of the completion of the sale of YIT's businesses in Russia.

The crisis in Ukraine has led to uncertainty in the availability of construction materials and labour. In addition, inflation, which continued to accelerate during the second quarter, has led to increased price pressure for construction materials. Uncertainty about the outlook for consumer demand for apartments has also grown, which began to show during the second quarter as a slowdown in consumer decision-making and a decrease in sales in the Finnish housing market. The uncertainty of consumer and investor demand is further increased by rising interest rates.

YIT has evaluated the effects of the Ukrainian crisis on its business with a scenario analysis. In the first phase, the review has focused especially on the business effects of cost inflation through the price increase and challenges in the availability of construction materials. The prevailing scenario seems to be a prolonged conflict, the effects of which will increase the uncertainty of the operating environment in the medium term. At the end of the review period and after that, the risk of an energy crisis affecting operations in Central Europe in particular has increased significantly. Its possible direct and indirect effects on YIT's business are still difficult to predict at this stage. The consequences of the crisis may lead to a deterioration in the economic development and profitability of YIT's business, or a shift in revenue and operating profit from one quarter or year to another.

In order to anticipate the effects of the Ukraine crisis, YIT's risk management function has conducted a weekly business continuity risk assessment together with business segments and group functions during the period. Risk assessments and the measures initiated based on them have been aimed at preventing the possible effects of the crisis on business continuity and creating a continuous situational picture of the effects of the crisis. This practice will be continued for the time being.

Basis of preparation and accounting policies of the half-year report

Basis of preparation

This half-year report has been prepared in accordance with IFRS recognition and measurement principles and all requirements of IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting standard have been applied. This half-year report should be read together with YIT's consolidated Financial Statements 2021. The figures presented in the half-year report are unaudited. In the halfyear report, the figures are presented in million euros doing the rounding on each line, which may cause some rounding inaccuracies in columns and total sums.

Accounting policies

The same IFRS recognition and measurement principles have been applied in the preparation of this half-year report as in YIT's consolidated Financial Statements 2021 except for the amendments to IFRS standards which were effective as of January 1, 2022. The amendments did not have impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Significant management judgements

In preparing this half-year report, significant judgements made by management in applying the 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 2021.

Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) and Ukrainian crisis

The sections of the financial statements that involve an unusual amount of judgement or that include significant assumptions and estimates have been described in YIT's Financial Statements 2021. When making these judgements, the management estimates constantly the impacts of coronavirus pandemic and the Ukrainian crisis on the estimates and judgements. There were no material impacts in the second quarter reporting. However, YIT's management follows constantly the market indicators and estimated future cash flows related to fair values of investments and carrying amounts of other assets.

Previously, YIT has presented all customer contract related liability items in the Advances received line item in the statement of financial position.

The fair values of bonds are based on the market price at the reporting date. The fair values of other non-current financial assets and liabilities are based on discounted cash flows. The discount rate is defined to be the rate YIT was to pay for equivalent external loans at the end of the reporting period. It consists of risk-free market rate and company related risk premium of 2.40-3.48 % (Jun 30, 2021: 2.87-4.07 %). The fair values of other current financial assets and liabilities are equal to their carrying amounts.

Fair value measurement

The Group categorises financial instruments recognised at fair value by using a three-level fair value hierarchy. Financial instruments recognised at fair value in the balance sheet are classified by fair value measurement hierarchy as follows:

Level 1

Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy is defined as all financial instruments for which there are quotes available in an active market. These quoted market prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, broker, pricing service or regulatory agency. These prices are used without adjustment to measure fair value. YIT has no financial instruments classified in Level 1.

Level 2

The fair value of financial instruments in Level 2 is determined using valuation techniques. These techniques utilize other than Level 1 quoted market prices readily and regularly available from an exchange, broker, pricing service or regulatory agency.

YIT values OTC derivatives from a Level 2 Intermediary, pricing service or regulatory agency at fair value based on observable market inputs and generally accepted valuation methods.

Level 3

Fair values of financial instruments within Level 3 are not based on observable market data. The fair value levels are presented in previous tables. YIT has classified investments at fair value on Level 3.

Description of valuation techniques

Equity investments recognised at fair value through profit and loss

The fair value of YIT's equity investment in Tripla Mall Ky is calculated as the fair value of the property, subtracting the net debt and the sum is multiplied with YIT's share of ownership. The value of the property is determined by using the income approach, taking 10-year discounted cash flows and the present value of the terminal value. An independent external appraiser (CBRE) has audited the valuation model used by YIT and assessed the relevant valuation assumptions and stated that it fulfils the requirements of IFRS and IVSC (International Valuation Standards Council). Separate calculations have been used for the shopping mall and the parking facility, due to the different income generation profile of the parking facility. For the valuation of the income from the short-term parking YIT has used a third-party report. The potential income is inspected, among other things, through the perspective of pricing, location, and provided services in the neighbouring area and also by comparing to relevant sites. The report also takes a stand to the development of the parking facilities during the first years of operations. In general, the discounted cash flow model uses contract rents until the lease expiry, after which the expected

market rent rates are used. The valuation is made on a net rental basis and utilises a long-term vacancy rate for the net rental income. For both shopping mall and the parking facility, other operating income such as advertising have been added to the net rental income. Similarly, expenses such as maintenance expenses for vacant premises and administration expenses have been deducted from the net rental income. The discount rates used are based on reasonable market yields and projected average inflation for the 10-year cash flow valuation period. The market yields are derived from market data and the market knowledge of the independent external appraiser (CBRE). YIT has separately taken into consideration the uncertainty for the income from the parking facilities with a discount rate addition, which is applied to valuation of the present value of the future cashflows.

The value of the investment of YIT to Tripla Mall Ky is also affected by a separate profit-sharing agreement between the shareholders of Tripla Mall Ky. When an equity multiple that is calculated with fixed market parameters (inflation and exit yield) exceeds (or is below) an agreed target range, YIT is entitled to a larger (or smaller) share of the fair value of the investment, when the investment is sold or when the profit-sharing agreement has expired in 2024. If the equity multiple is in the agreed target range, YIT is entitled to its original share of the fair value of the investment. The equity multiple is defined as the ratio between the equity value, which is projected in the fair value model, and realised equity investments in Tripla Mall Ky. At the balance sheet date, the modeling of the profit-sharing agreement indicates that the equity multiple is at the target range, and therefore has no effect on YIT's share. If the equity multiple increased by 5 percent, it would still remain in the target range. If the equity multiple decreased by 5 percent, the value of the asset would decrease by EUR 1 million. Fair value changes resulting from the profit-sharing agreement are reported in consolidated income statement in the row "Change in fair value of financial assets".

Loan receivables recognised at fair value through profit and loss

The fair value of loan receivables for YIT has been calculated by discounting the expected cash flows with a specific discount rate. The discount rate is based on the average maturity, market interest rate for the maturity concerned and the risk premium for the loan.

Legal proceedings

Quality concerns related to ready-mixed concrete

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

The Hospital District of Southwest Finland has on June 3, 2020 filed a summons in the District Court of Southwest Finland against YIT and presented claims for damages etc. to YIT relating to the project for the construction of the concrete deck of the T3 building of Turku University Hospital. The capital amount of the claims totals approximately EUR 20 million. The company deems the claims for damages etc. unfounded.

YIT has submitted its response to the Hospital District's claims to the District Court on 29 January 2021. In its response YIT has denied the Hospital District's claims as unfounded. In February-March 2022, the parties reached an amicable settlement, which became final in April 2022.
