Clarification on YIT Corporation’s reporting practices

On February 1, 2018, YIT announced changes in the company’s reporting practices. Going forward, YIT will apply IFRS principles both in its Group reporting and its segment reporting. Certain figures for the Housing Finland and CEE segment and the Housing Russia segment will also be reported under the percentage of completion (POC) principle in addition to IFRS reporting.

As a modification of YIT’s previous reporting practices, and as specified in the report published on February 1, 2018, the company will change the applying method of the IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting standard in its January-March and January-September interim reports. The interim reports for January-March and January-September 2018 will be prepared according to IFRS recognition and measurement principles, but not all of the IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting standard requirements will be applied in the preparation of the interim reports. The change influences in particular the information presented in the table section. In other respects, the interim reports are mainly consistent in their scope with the previous interim reports.

All of the IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting standard requirements are applied in preparation of the half-year reports and the financial statements.
