YIT - Company Announcement

YIT’s comparable figures for 2013 in accordance with the new segment structure


Helsinki, 2014-03-27 08:00 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- YIT CORPORATION             
     STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE              MARCH 27, 2014 AT 9:00 A.M. 



YIT'S COMPARABLE FIGURES FOR 2013 IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NEW SEGMENT STRUCTURE

YIT Corporation changed its segment structure as of the beginning of 2014. The
company's two reporting segments as of January 1, 2014 are 1) Housing and 2)
Business Premises and Infrastructure. Under the Housing segment, key financial
figures are also reported for two geographical regions: 1) Finland, the Baltic
countries and Central Eastern Europe, and 2) Russia. The Business Premises and
Infrastructure segment comprises business premises construction in Finland, the
Baltic countries and Central Eastern Europe, as well as infra services in
Finland. Reporting under the new segment structure will begin from the
January-March 2014 interim report, which will be published on April 25, 2014. 

The reason behind the replacement of the former, geographical segment structure
is the aim to renew the structure to better match the company's new management
structure and business areas. The objective of the new segment and management
structure is to strengthen the development of YIT's strategic focus areas and
support growth in the company's own-developed projects, particularly in
emerging markets. The changes are aimed at facilitating the effective
implementation of the company's strategy as well as an increasingly
customer-focused operating model. 

YIT's comparable figures for 2013 according to the new segment structure based
on segment reporting (POC) are presented below.
