CORRECTION TO THE ENGLISH VERSION OF YIT CORPORATION’S INTERIM REPORT JAN-MAR 2012

YIT Corporation corrects its English version of Interim Report for January-March 2012. The Guidance for 2012 in the Interim Report released at 8:00 a.m. is not fully equivalent with the Finnish version.

YIT Corporation’s guidance for 2012 is as follows.     

GUIDANCE: The Group’s revenue based on segment reporting will remain on a par with 2011 and operating profit will increase compared to 2011.

YIT Corporation reiterates its estimate issued in connection with the financial statements for 2011 and according to which, in 2012, revenue will remain at the level of 2011 and operating profit will increase compared to 2011. The profit outlook is based on the segment-level reporting, i.e. recognition of income based on the percentage of completion.

With the improvement of profitability with the progress of the efficiency improvement programme, the Building Services Northern Europe business segment will support the growth of YIT’s operating profit for 2012, especially during the last two quarters of the year.

The high uncertainty over the general macroeconomic development may have a negative effect also on decision-making by YIT's customers and thereby the development and performance of YIT's business operations.
