YIT publishes ifrs comparative information for continuing operations


Helsinki, Finland, 2013-06-18 08:00 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- YIT Corporation   
    STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE                               June 18, 2013 at 9:00
a.m. 



YIT PUBLISHES IFRS COMPARATIVE INFORMATION FOR CONTINUING OPERATIONS



The Extraordinary General Meeting of YIT Corporation, held on June 17, 2013,
has approved the demerger of YIT. The planned registration date for the
demerger is June 30, 2013.  The shares of Caverion Corporation have been
applied for public trading from July 1, 2013 onwards on NASDAQ OMX Helsinki
Ltd. 



The IFRS comparative information for YIT's continuing operations for 2012 and
the first quarter of 2013 



YIT's continuing operations consist of the Group's Construction Services
business. The comparative information presented in this release will be shown
as corresponding figures in YIT's future interim reports and financial
statements. The IFRS comparative information differs from the non-IFRS
information for YIT's continuing operations published on May 21, 2013. 



The comparative information shall furthermore consider the demerger to take
place on the demerger's implementation date (estimate June 30, 2013). Until
then, the occurrences of YIT's Building Services business to be transferred to
Caverion Corporation are disclosed as a separate line item under discontinued
operations in YIT's income and cash flow statement. The balance sheet is not
adjusted in the official comparative information compliant with IFRS; rather,
it will also include the items associated with the Building Services business,
thus corresponding to the previously reported balance sheet of YIT Corporation.
Due to this, the balance sheet disclosed as comparative information does not,
in this respect, illustrate the financial position of the continuing
operations. 



Accounting method applied to comparative information



The IFRS comparative information disclosed in this release has been drawn up in
accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standard adopted in the
European Union. The share belonging to the Building Services business is shown
under discontinued operations in the income statement and cash flow statement.
Expences and income related to assets and liabilities transferred to Caverion
Corporation have been allocated to discontinued operations in the income
statement. Balance sheet reference periods prior to the demerger include in
accordance with IFRS 5, the assets and liabilities related to the Building
Services business to be transferred to Caverion Corporation in connection with
the implementation of the demerger. As such, the balance sheet does not
illustrate the financial position of the continuing operations. Accordingly,
this release does not show key figures calculated on the basis of the balance
sheet. 



The information in this release is unaudited.

The operating profit for International Construction Services for the third
quarter of 2012 was improved by the cancellation of a EUR 7 million cost

rectifying the problem.
