EXCHANGE RELEASE        MAR 24, 2011 AT 9:00 A.M. 

YIT'S COMPARABLE FIGURES FOR 2010 IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NEW BUSINESS SEGMENT
STRUCTURE 

YIT Group's business segment structure was revised as of the beginning of March
2010 with Building and Industrial Services Business segment being divided into
two segments; Building Services Northern Europe and Building Services Central
Europe. As of March 1, 2011, YIT's four business segments are Building Services
Northern Europe, Building Services Central Europe, Construction Services
Finland and International Construction Services. 

YIT is changed its business segment structure due to the growth of building
service business operations in Central Europe, their increased share of the
Group's revenue and the significant business development and profitability
potential that these operations offer to YIT. YIT's aims to be the leading
provider of technical system maintenance and a forerunner in energy-saving
services in the Nordic countries and Central Europe. YIT seeks growth by
strengthening its local market position and through geographical expansion to
new countries. The Group's potential new market areas in the area of building
services are the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Belgium. 

Below is presented a summary of YIT's comparable figures for 2010 accordingly
to the new business segment structure.

IFRS interpretation from the start of the financial period that begun on

reporting and segment-level reporting differ. The difference between the
accounting policies is reported as an IFRIC 15 adjustment.
