YIT - Company Announcement
YIT publishes additional information (non-ifrs) for continuing operations for 2012 and first quarter of 2013
Helsinki, Finland, 2013-05-21 11:33 CEST (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- YIT Corporation
STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE MAY 21, 2013 at 12.33
p.m.
YIT PUBLISHES ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (NON-IFRS) FOR CONTINUING OPERATIONS FOR
2012 AND FIRST QUARTER OF 2013
YIT's Board of Directors approved and published the demerger plan concerning
the partial demerger on February 21, 2013. According to the demerger plan, YIT
will demerge such that all of the assets and liabilities related to YIT's
Building Systems business will be transferred to a company, to be established
in the demerger, named Caverion Corporation. YIT's Construction Services
business will make up the continuing operations.
The demerger will become effective when YIT's Extraordinary General Meeting on
June 17, 2013, approves the demerger and its implementation is recorded in the
Finnish Trade Register. The planned registration date is June 30, 2013, after
which Caverion shares will be admitted for public trading on the NASDAQ OMX
Helsinki.
The prospectus relating to Caverion Corporation, an entity to be established in
YIT's partial demerger, will be published by estimated on June 5, 2013 and it
will be available on YIT's website (www.yitgroup.com).
Non-IFRS information for YIT's continuing operations for 2012 and the first
quarter of 2013
Principles followed in preparing unaudited non-IFRS information
The unaudited non-IFRS information illustrates what the result, financial
position and cash flow of YIT's continuing operations would have been had the
demerger taken place on January 1, 2012. The financing arrangements negotiated
related to demerger have been taken into account when the information has been
prepared. The non-IFRS information presented in this release is based on YIT's
consolidated financial statements according to the present structure, prepared
in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as
adopted by the European Union, with the items associated with the Building
Systems business omitted. Certain adjustments have been made to the figures,
and the rationale for these adjustments is described in this release.
It is the company's view that the non-IFRS information presented in the release
provides a relevant picture of the result of operations, financial position and
cash flow of the continuing YIT Group. The adjustments made in preparing the
non-IFRS information are based on available information and assumptions. There
is no certainty that the assumptions applied in preparing the unaudited
non-IFRS information will prove to be correct.
This non-IFRS information is presented solely for illustrative purposes, and it
may not be descriptive of the company's result of operations, financial
position or future cash flow after the demerger.
Non-IFRS information
The non-IFRS information presented in the release differs from the official
figures prepared according to IFRS 5, which are presented as comparison data
for the continuing YIT for 2012 and 2013 after the approval of the demerger.
The most significant difference is associated with the balance sheet, which is
not adjusted in accordance with IFRS 5, but will also be presented according to
the present structure for the reference periods after the approval of the
demerger. In the comparison data after the approval of the demerger, prepared
in accordance with IFRS 5, the share allocated to Caverion in the income
statement and cash flow statement will be presented as discontinued operations,
separate from continuing operations.
The non-IFRS information presented is not intended to replace information
reported in accordance with IFRS, and this non-IFRS information is not intended
to be given more weight than the information presented in accordance with IFRS.
Assumptions applied in the adjustments to capital structure and financial
expenses
YIT's capital structure will change in connection with the demerger. This
non-IFRS information presents YIT's capital structure in accordance with the
demerger plan. For the purposes of preparing the non-IFRS information for the
continuing YIT Group, the reported financial statements and interim financial
statements have been adjusted under the following assumptions:
1. The financial expenses of the continuing YIT have been adjusted,
considering the cash and cash equivalents and borrowings transferred to
Caverion, the effects of the demerger on YIT's other existing borrowings,
and planned changes to YIT's bond portfolio.
The planned changes are presented in a separate stock exchange release,
published on May 21, 2013. The adjustments made assume that YIT's financial
expenses will be decreased by the interest on borrowings transferred to
Caverion, the decrease in YIT's other borrowings and exchange rate losses
allocated to Caverion. Correspondingly, it has been assumed that financial
expenses will increase as a result of the increase in the coupon rate of
fixed-rate bonds, the net effect of the refinancing of floating-rate bonds
and an increase in the interest rate margin of certain bank loans. In
calculating the effect of bonds on financial expenses, it has been assumed
that all floating-rate bonds will be redeemed and that the coupon rates of
fixed-rate bonds will be increased in accordance with the proposal made to
the bond bearers' creditor meeting. The net effect of these various
adjustments will decrease the reported financial expenses for 2012 by EUR
5.1 million and the financial expenses for the first quarter of 2013 by EUR
0.6 million.
1. In connection with the demerger, part of YIT's existing borrowings will
transfer to Caverion. These borrowings have been adjusted from the balance
sheet of the continuing YIT. The borrowings of YIT have also been adjusted
for the EUR 140 million loan drawn before the demerger, which will be used
to repay YIT's borrowings and will be transferred to Caverion in connection
with the demerger.
This non-IFRS information is presented based on the above assumptions
concerning the effects of the demerger.
The non-IFRS information illustrating the effects of the rearrangement of
financing is based on assumptions concerning the amount of cash and cash
equivalents and borrowings transferred to Caverion and the above assumptions
concerning changes in YIT's bond portfolio. The final amount of cash and cash
equivalents and borrowings transferred to Caverion in the demerger and the
effect of the changes in the bond portfolio may materially deviate from those
presented in this non-IFRS information, as the amounts of cash and cash
equivalents and borrowings transferred to Caverion upon the execution of the
demerger are based on the balance sheet values at the date of the demerger and
the changes in the bond portfolio depend on the decision of the bond bearers to
approve the offer to redeem and/or proposed changes to the terms and
conditions. This may result in significant changes to the result of operations
and financial position of the continuing YIT presented in this non-IFRS
information.
Cash flow statement
The cash flow statement has been prepared by taking into account the items
allocated to YIT's continuing operations from the YIT Group figures reported
based on the present structure. The cash flow statement does not take into
account the rearrangement of financing described above and related changes in
financial expenses.

The operating profit for International Construction Services for the third
quarter of 2012 was improved by the cancellation of a EUR 7 million cost
provision due to the ammonia issue in St. Petersburg. YIT made a provision of
EUR 10 million during the third quarter of 2011 to cover the costs of
rectifying the problem.
