YIT’s comparable figures for 2014 in accordance with the new segment structure


Helsinki, Finland, 2015-03-27 14:30 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- YIT CORPORATION    
         STOCK EXCHANGE RELEASE                   MARCH 27, 2015 AT 3:30 P.M. 



YIT's comparable figures for 2014 in accordance with the new segment structure

As of January 1, 2015, YIT has three reporting segments instead of the former
two segments. The former Housing segment was split into 1) Housing Finland and
CEE and 2) Housing Russia. The new segments correspond to the former Housing
Finland, the Baltic Countries and Central Eastern Europe and Housing Russia
business areas. Business Premises and Infrastructure segment remains unchanged.
Reporting under the new segment structure will begin from the January-March
2015 interim report, which will be published on April 28, 2015. 

YIT's comparable figures for 2014 according to the new segment structure based
on segment reporting (POC) are presented below. The figures are presented in
million euros doing the rounding on each line, which may cause some rounding
inaccuracies in column and total sums. The comparable segment figures are
unaudited.
